Episode Transcript

(00:00):
One idea I had, let's see, I'm just kicking right into it.
One idea I had for this introwas the joy that I get from you
trying to fuck with me and thenlike shutting it down. So your ideas
today were quote, no, Iwant to say them because it's so bad
and like, I know that you'rebeing a dick. Also, what time

(00:23):
was it that that came through?I have no idea if I responded,
I had to be awake. Idon't think you responded until the morning.
Oh I didn't, Oh yeah,because I said all good ideas and you're
like, are you fucking kidding me? Let me see, let me see,
let me see, me see,let me see. One was about
Barbie and women shouldn't have rights orsomething I don't even remember. Oh wow,
we talked a lot. Let's see. Here, Here we go,

(00:44):
Here we go. Ruin. I'dlike to discuss two things on the pod.
One is our women getting dumber.Things like Barbie might be a real
cause of women taking women's empowerment toofar. And I secondly, and secondly,
we need sponsorship. So I thinkthe best thing we could do is
troll major sponsors about how their productsdon't work. For example, I will
talk shit to a potential sponsor andpraise another sponsor and I just put LLL.
I'm down at like five in themorning because you sent out eleven thirty

(01:07):
at night and and you're like,those are terrible ideas. Why would you
encourage me? And I was like, because we're never going to do them.
I just like to make you feelbetter. But then also that shuts
you down. But you know,after I sent you that text, I
went an emailed two sponsors. Iknow that this is insightful. What a
fucking idiot. It's crazy. It'scrazy that we don't have to stay quiet

(01:40):
during that anymore because technology, ourtechnology has gotten so much better. You
emailed two sponsors. Yeah, Idon't remember who they were. Oh,
then, well I know one wasbetter. Help. That's a good sound.
That was a great sound. That'smy black Jerry white claw. That's
what I'm drinking today because we're ona marathon day. Yeah, I have
a black berry white claw. Thisis the first time than neither of us
at the same time. That's true. Also, thank you for drinking the

(02:05):
black black berry, because they're fuckingto me. They taste like robotessin and
not the like, you know,hey, let's get faded robots. It's
oh no, that would be good. Like what are they? What is
it lean called? Yeah, robotripping. Yeah, some coding. It's
good to see you. It's goodto see you. Yeah, it wasn't
a bad drive today either. Itwas not. So basically, now we

(02:27):
have a my camera angles all suckedup. I don't care, we'll fix
that later. We have a studio. Now, this is the Paul Ruben's
memorial studio that's dating this pee wee. Herman just died a couple of days
ago, gone Herman. He died. Yeah, he died, but he
was like seventy. How did hedie? I think he was sick.
I don't actually think that we establishedhe was sick because of that long time.

(02:51):
Because he masturbated in a in aporn theater. I mean, like,
that's he gets such a bad rapfor that, And here's why he
shouldn't. Isn't that what you're supposedto do. Don't people get like fucked
in adult movie theaters. I don'tthink in the actual theater part he was
in a seat where other people couldbe Yeah, that's what I'm saying yeah.
But like Louis c k got canceledfor doing that to someone, he

(03:12):
asked if he could do it andthey said yes, Oh this is a
bad this is to go around,This is a bad We don't need to
go there. Yeah, I'm no, I'm thoroughly confused. I do like
the name of the studio though,Paul robots basically what it is is And
for a second I thought you saidPaul Rudd at first. One like pauld
If Paul Rudd died, it's justsomebody knuc us because the world isn't isn't

(03:38):
isn't a world anymore. I'm notdoing that. I'm not living in a
world without Paul Rudd. Yeah hedoesn't even age. No, he doesn't.
God, he's so glorious. Whatthe fuck is it podcast about?
What is our podcast? I don'teven know anymore? What is our podcasts
about? We've changed everything so much, which is ridiculous, but basically what
we want to talk about today?Are we going to do the the the

(04:00):
old? See right? Doesn't thatsound good? It's nice? It's nice,
kitty, Yeah, you keep cuttingout, well, you have enunciate
seven restaurant trends to watch in twentytwenty three. Oh yeah, that's what.
That's what we're rolling found that one. Yeah, I know you did.
You actually did this was research thatwas actually real, not Hey we

(04:21):
should talk shit about the Barby movie, right yeah, yeah, okay,
all right anyway, Oh you knowwhat, also, before we get started,
something that I really want to playand I want to figure out how
to release it because it's like weknow that only are we do this for
fun guys like well, you knowthat only our friends and well not my
wife or listening to them. Uh. I want to release the stuff that

(04:42):
we tried to record the last timewhen you were here, when you just
you completely hit a wall, andI have I was trying to carry us
through. I was trying so hardto carry us through, and you were
just not having it. It wasit was you completely you completely just shut
down and stopped like talking, andit was I couldn't stop laughing. All
I was doing was laughing. Youwere sleeping though, too. It's at

(05:05):
one point like I was just like, god man, we can't, I
can't hold this together anymore. Wegot to just go to bed, and
I think it was like eleven thirty, I probably have to cut out the
part about it. The Yeah,I'm probably gonna cut all that too,
allright, No, I mean becausemy last job I had to do that.
All right, here's the first here'sthe first point, though, I'm
gonna cut all that. In Housedining is back, but not as it

(05:29):
was. If there was ever anydoubt about whether people would still go out
to restaurants, that doubt has sincesubsided. We all are more than ready
to return to our favorite restaurants anddiscovery spots. But there's a catch.
Under the current global economic conditions inflation, commodity prices rising, and energy prices.
Though spending money on dining out toexpect a restaurant to get it exactly
right, that means a beyond greatcustomer experience. Value for money is key.

(05:53):
Redesigning your restaurant layout. Oh thatthese are all I'm going too far,
But let's let's start with this.The pressure now because money is tighter
for customer satisfaction. Mine was alwaysthere, like I always kept it.
I never when I was in theindustry, I never even kept track of
these trends of like inflation and shit, I know that probably makes me a
bad manager, do you. Imean you didn't really have to before,

(06:14):
not as much. Does it ona manager level? Well, does it
change how you approach things now knowingthat people because they expect more, Right,
they expect more because money's tighter,and they're more sensitive to if they
have a bad experience because money's tighter. Does it change the way you do
things? Yeah? So no,I mean you do have to be aware
of it. But also you stillhave to own a business, and it's

(06:34):
more like you have to kind ofset the expectation for people. But then
if if it doesn't follow through withwhat they were thinking, it's going to
be used to almost have to explainit. But yeah, to me,
this is a double edged short because, like I feel like, if money
is tighter and I'm an industry worker, I'm now working just as hard to
make the same amount of money.Right, because there are shifts that you,

(06:57):
like you can go like on fulldisclose. Any everybody that goes to
restaurants, some of your servers morethan likely are probably going to be on
autopilot. If it's a Tuesday atsix, you know what I mean,
Like that's a shift that they cando in their sleep, Like one of
three tables at a time, whatever, whatever, But above and beyond attitude,
I mean, I get it,I get that part, but I
don't think. I don't think Iwould change the way that would get it.

(07:20):
I think where you're going to Ifit was me in that situation,
I would just be more dedicated tothe let come in. Yeah, you're
gonna try to take better care ofthem because you only have so little to
focus on. Yeah, so areyou're gonna do? So that's what I'm
saying, Like, I don't thinkanything would change for me. I don't.
I think I also think this iskind of I don't. Maybe I

(07:40):
don't expect anything different. If money'stighter, if I go out to a
restaurant, I expect the same thingevery time. My expectations are not raised
or lower depending on what the economyis doing. I guess that's what I'm
trying to say. That's true.But you go to a restaurant, no,
you can afford it, that's true. I guess I'm not putting myself
into into the position of people thatcan't wait. It make me feel like
a fucking asshole. That's not whatI meant saying. People go out all

(08:01):
the time and spend above their meansin every aspect. Not I mean they
buy cars, they don't need houses, don't Why do I keep cutting you
keep cutting out because you're not enunciating, you're not speaking, or get the
mic closer to your face. Itdoesn't matter. We're hearing just fine,
it's not in your mouth. Butno, that I think said that,
okay the first time I heard.I think that's true of everything though.

(08:26):
I think people just start spending wildlyoutside their means, and then they go
to a place like a restaurant andthey think that everything is always going to
be perfect. It's not. Ilike how we're talking about speaking outside outside
of me that I have a studioin my house. Yeah, it's like
for a podcast that four people listento, Yeah, I work two of
them. Yeah, there were theonly people that listen to this that I

(08:48):
think Jake. Jake listens to itsometimes. But yeah, but again we're
happy still listen to it. Yeah, we haven't come out. We haven't
come out with a one in awhile. That's that's also why. All
right, so I guess we're onthe we're kind of on the same page
here with that. I just don'tunderstand how that changes. I guess that
maybe I'm just on an island bymyself. No, you're You've been in

(09:09):
the industry, so it won't changefor you. You already know what's going
to happen, all right. Sovalue for money is key as well.
You know, it always was,always was, and always will be.
But today's economy has made it evenmore outspoken. That means restaurants must reflect
on their offer and how to effectstheir bottom line. Menu engineering can help
capitalize on these dishes and menu itemslike. So this one is something that

(09:30):
I think everybody not it does everybodynotice that that prices are going up,
but also portions maybe getting a littlebit. That's our favorite term called perceived
value. That's the part that cracksme up about that is you have to
make. First of all changes thatbusinesses make, they have a certain and

(09:52):
this is for most businesses profit thatthey want to hit. They want to
hit a certain percentage of profit.Yeah, and in restaurants it's wildly lower
than what you'd expect exactly, Solike and that's people think. I love
that people think that if they're spendingyou know, let's say, like eighty
nine ninety nine in a filet dishat a fancy steakhouse that the restaurant is
making. They only paid let's saymaybe what eighteen ninety nine pound for that,

(10:13):
and it's like six mouths, right, and they're charging all that money.
There's labor, like all this stuffgoes into that number. They probably
made what five ten dollars off thedish. Yeah. I overheard like a
really obnoxious conversation that two guys runin the bar one time about was my
favorite, Like how unrealistic it isfor restaurants to make a forty percent profit
off of like a burger We don'tget anywhere near I don't know, you
would think twenty five probably right now? Like if you don't want to buy

(10:35):
the sixteen dollars burger, we haveto do that to make four bucks?
Yeah, I think and that andokay, yeah, and again like with
the commodity prices, right, likethat's why have you noticed, well,
last year, did you notice thata lot of people went to like chicken
thighs wing places and shiite? Ithink we already talked about this last year.

(10:56):
But yeah, I stop right becausethe price is that because they weren't
making any fund money. You basicallylose money if you sell they call it
dog. They call it a dogon a menu, it's a menu dog.
So if it's if it's something thatsomebody really really likes, but a
bunch of prep goes into it andit cost a bunch of fucking way to
make you make a dollar off,it probably not worth it nobly. Or

(11:18):
you have one or two of thoseon your menu because it's wanted just hear
my stomach? Did you hear mystomach? I didn't heard. I'm glad
that Mike didn't pick that up.You know, you might have one or
two of those on the menu becauseit's trendy and really want it, but
you're not making any money on it, and it's also usually not a big
seller. Yeah, and that,yeah, that's the definition of a dog.

(11:39):
So but as far as like goingback to you perceived value, which
I love, that's something that likeI think people. Do you think people
are more aware of what their dollaris buying or is it just more a
noxious Do they do they think theyknow what the what their dollars? I
think then for the most part theybuy into the perceived value way more than

(12:03):
then Uh, well, if theywere smart, they wouldn't I'll put it
that way. If they were smart, they wouldn't be going after the steak
and shrimp special. Yeah, youknow, because that's something that we are
you nervous. I haven't drank enoughyet. Just right, he's tapping his
foot and like I could feel Icould feel like the couch or futon that

(12:24):
were on like shaking. And Ihaven't had to speak with any intelligent in
a while. It's just been alot of bullshit. When are you planning
to start speaking on something intelligently notto not at least if that's what you
defined as intelligence. I fear forthis new job that you have. I
congratulations by the way, I thinkthat Yeah, I hope they don't hear

(12:48):
this. I think that I perceivedvalue or whatever. But yeah, so
half the time, like, hey, here's a steak and shrimp special.
There's steak and shrimp that are aboutto turn probably right, or we're getting
a five six sounds sir on subpar. Yeah, you're getting very cheap trimp
and you're getting yeah, you know, you're just getting bullshit. Yeah,

(13:09):
Like there's a reason that that applebee and this is not a knock on
it because I think it's fucking great, and I do it every time I
go to Applebe's, especially if I'mtraveling because I don't feel like going anyway,
and apple at Applebee's is by everyhotel in America. Yeah, everything,
even if it's a Moti and everyYeah, sure they do the number.
Every time I'm traveling, I'm goingto an Applebe's like for a Buffalo
wild Ones or yeah yeah yeah,but either way, that two for twenty

(13:31):
oh fucking genius. Yeah. Isthat something that I'd be like, Hey,
Shannon, happy ten years, Let'sgo to Applebee's. Not to not
to knock anybody like that that thatcan do that, but like that has
to do that. But I justthink the the other one that you see
all the time that people probably don'trealize is a like perceived value thing is
the pick one, two or threethings off of the appetizer menu and then

(13:54):
you get it bundled. Oh yeah, because that lessway, smaller, get
away, less getting well wings andwhatever. Yeah, that appetizers that's Applebe's
too, isn't it. Yeah.I mean a lot of Chili's, like
a lot of the big chains dothat. If that's something that we they're
not one of the ones you emailedand talk shits here right now, because
I was saying, if we couldget like the menu designer for Applebee's on
this this podcast, just to askhim pick his brain, because it's like

(14:16):
the ship that they do. Theymake so much money off that ship.
Oh yeah, man, and it'scheap. I mean you're getting But the
perceived value is that more important thanthe food to some people? Yeah?
For most people? Yeah? Youthink for most people? Yeah? Just
now, do you think that's becauseof the way the economy is or do
you think that just in general?I think in general, diners aren't really

(14:39):
going out that much just for thefood. And if you are not going
to a chain restaurant, that's true, you're gonna go to whatever. What's
someone down here that is one too? Oh Jeff Ruby, Yeah, Jeff
Fruby, Yeah, you want totalk about I felt so there's no perceived
value in a place. I feltso out of place, dude. I
like, I'm a basic dude,and I like sometimes I like to do

(15:00):
nice things and by my wife,But I've never felt more uncomfortable in a
restaurant of I do not belong here. This is not something because and they
have fucking like who is a regular? Like what is that life? What
is that life that you can thatyou can be a regular at a steakhouse
that charges, you know, onehundred and eighty nine dollars for a tomahawk?
Like what I purposely didn't burp intothe mic, just sa I I

(15:26):
hope this will go on. Maybethat part will go on. Tik tik.
I almost like jumped across the couchto give you got a kiss on
the mouth because that was all old. The mouth was uncross old. Yeah,
but like old Turner, like,who is this guy who's in the
same room? It's way harder.Who is this guy? Must be a
piece of shit type And I'm lookingat you if anything, Oh yeah,
because you could see that my soulleave my body whenever you're ruined things any

(15:48):
long arms, you could punch me, yeah, but it wouldn't hurt.
I don't even must hurt. Youmight break your leg again. I was
gonna say, yeah, I I'dpunch you with my fist, but somehow
my leg would break. Yeah,that's how it would go. So yeah,
I mean, the perceived value isthe biggest thing that I think people
don't realize is happening to them.Yeah, there was some really good points

(16:10):
in this article. They're like,this article is is fantastic because because I
want to get to that next pointtoo, because that's just the first point
of perceptions now, because this articleis claiming because you're on the front lines,
this article is claiming that things aredifferent, and you're saying that you
have not changed your approach in anyway. But the diner may have changed,
like their thought process, but youhaven't changed your approach at all. No,

(16:33):
not mean personally. I mean thisis probably mostly referring to you know,
huge brands. Well that's yeah.That was another thing I was gonna
say is like you, I don'twant to say it was Mom and pop,
but it's definitely not a national chainthat you were working for. So
usually those concepts like that are alittle bit unless they have some like an
owner that is super involved in trendsand like goes to conventions and ship which

(16:56):
I don't think. You know.The interesting thing about that place was like
we kind of got to look atthe trends and then decide what we want
to do with it, and un'tyeah, corporate telling you you know exactly
because I remember we actually, Yeah, so the company I work for actually
flew out Turner and a couple ofhis of a couple of his co workers,

(17:18):
like to our home base. Iguess I took him on a trends
tour and basically we take people out. We're like, here's what Here's what's
happening in the burger space, Here'swhat's happening in the brewery space. Like
here's here's the trends we're seeing inlike in Chicago and San Francisco, like
what you know? But again,I find it I don't want to get
like too far down a rabbit holebecause I was going to ask you,
like you've you've worked for both,like which do you prefer? Because now

(17:41):
the job that you're gonna have,which we'll talk about on one of the
episodes that we're going to record today, I imagine now you're like in that's
an emerging like chain, Yeah,so that's gonna be a thing. How
does so nice to have the backgroundin both? Yeah? So how are
you seeing like your trend with yourtrends on that? Like how did I
just have a stroke? Like whatthe fuck? You just kind of stopped

(18:03):
I just I think, like,ie your phone for a second. I
know, I started like three sentencesand I bailed on all three of them.
But either the first question was whatdo I like better? I I
like the structure of a corporate environment, but I like the freedom. I
was going to say independent make alot of decisions though, and you like
making decisions. Yeah, I likethe freedom of an independent, but the

(18:25):
idea of starting an independent that wantsto get there, yeah, I mean
ultimately that's the best thing. Andhave they then all my ideas are what
matter, and everybody has to listento what I say. That's the only
reason you took the joms Okay,I thought it was. It was what
better hours and freedom? Right?And then like yeah, a lot of
potential exactly, Yeah, the upsideof that place and I looked it up

(18:47):
and we'll maybe one day we'll shareit. But it's, uh, it
looks like a pretty cool spot.And I that stuff is exciting to me
because like what I used to doin my old role with a company I'm
at is, I used to dothat. I used to open chain places
and like, well, I waslike responsible for helping open a lot of
them when they got new units andstuff, and it was really nice to

(19:08):
see like some of them grow.But yeah, this place, they're bigger.
They're distributor is your old uh company? Oh no shit, Yeah,
I guess that makes sense because ofyou, because of the segment they're in.
Yeah, that makes sense. Andthe names in Toledo, Yeah,
yeah, because it is Yeah,Okay, off premise dining is evolving,
which we all know, right,we all know that that that's coming.

(19:32):
But here's something that's happening more andmore and more. And I think it's
because technology is getting cheaper. Butand this is I know there's several uh
weights on this turner, but wedon't have to get through every point I
know. But my big thing wasthe direct order thing. Yes, you
know what I mean, Like becausetechnology is cheaper and easier to use,
Like you can literally build a websiteby yourself because it'll give you like walk

(19:53):
by walk through instructions. Yeah,you're use a bunch of templates, but
still it still fucking works. Youcan cut out that middle and that door
dash that uber hasn't hit. Thedoor dash will never go away. But
it's restaurants, Yeah, especially uhindependence are getting away from it. Because
you don't make any fucking money.Yet. A little background into door Dash
because ire the double they were anecessary evil, like you know during COVID,

(20:18):
and I get and I respect everybodythat that doorwoved for that, and
you know it was basically I almostthought about doing it because I got separated
from but uh, they take aboatload of money from from independent operations.
Now, yeah, thirty percent ofso if you're charging and keep in mind
you're overheads in that too, you'recharging ten dollars for a pizza you got

(20:41):
all you're over it in that Normallyyou'd make about six bucks. You now
have to give thirty percent to doorDash. Then now you're only making them,
you know, so you're not makingmoney. You're not making money at
all. That it's not worth it, so go ahead. The general thought
I gather from people that are youknow, above me and my companies is
that it's at this point it's anadvertise. Yeah, you get your name

(21:02):
out there. Yeah they're not goingto get the best person of your product
because it's gonna sit for fuckingever.Doordas drivers are not all but a lot
of them are dicks. They'll showup and if it's not ready, they'll
cancel the order. Yeah, andthen they'll also those reschedule the next person.
They didn't care. They really don'tcare about your food. They just
want your tip. So I'm nota fan, but yeah, the direct
order is going to be the nextthing, and then probably direct delivery.

(21:26):
I don't like, not everybody,but well, I think it. Also
here's why I think COVID hurt ordash like, even though it was a
necessary evil. During COVID, right, here's why it hurt it. We
had a lot more time on ourhands to research and get upset about things
that don't necessarily matter. Oh yeah, and uh and that was something that
that a lot of people discovered overCOVID because a lot of small business owners

(21:49):
that we're struggling, we're opening andsaying, hey, like if you want
to order like call us, callus and then we'll figure out how to
get it to you or whatever,so wan it so forth, because they
would you know, hey, allour servers are now delivery drivers. A
lot of rules were broken because that'slike a big insurance thing. But either
way it happened. Yeah, eitherway. That's when like a lot of

(22:11):
people I think discovered like, dude, door dash and like uber eats are
fun, they fucking suck. Yeah, they're the devil. They don't because
I remember I always remembering Facebook postafter Facebook post of people saying that,
yeah, so, and it's youknow, the drivers are the drivers.
You can't even control those employees.They're just gonna do what they want.
But the companies are also. Idon't know as much about Uber reats,
but door Dash specifically, like ifyou have a complaint about the driver,

(22:36):
they will still charge the restaurant back, even if it's the driver took two
hours to get here. You canwatch that they left the restaurant an hour
and a half ago. It's alljust put back on the restaurant. They
don't ever really take a loss.Yeah, and there's some interesting numbers in
this too, and I was surprised. I'm not surprised by this, but
I'm wondering where this poll was takenon what group obviously, but sixty three
percent of people prefer to order direct. They don't like using door dash,

(23:00):
Uber eats, and I feel likethat has a lot to do with the
fact, I mean, you noticethat, hey, a big mac meal
is seven eighty three through the drivethrough, but it's ten ninety three on
door dash or or uber eats.I mean, we're dumb, but we're
not that dumb. But at thesame time, I'm shit face wasted and
I want to fuck Big Mac.Like Taco Bell is two miles from my
house, and I still will usedoor Dash if it's after midnight, as

(23:22):
you should. As you should becauseyou're just being you're being safe, you
know, like I'm lazy. Iwas trying to paint you as a good
parton No, but don't. I'mprobably gonna cut that, And here's it,
Like here we're shaking off the cobwebsto you, by the way,
and that's been three months. I'llhave to shake off the cobwebs. Like
as I'm editing, but I'm gettinga little fucking I'm pissed off because I

(23:44):
feel like there's a lot of stuffI have to cut already, and we're
only about twenty four minutes and wehave like another twenty five thirty minutes to
go, and I'm gonna need youto fucking reel it in, okay,
because there's still like I feel likeyou don't. I feel like you're get
the next point, but I feellike you're just saying that we want me
to completely be born. God,just what what's the what's the next thing?

(24:06):
Can you read left her right?You know, grouping of letters makes
left her right makes left right?Makes sense. I was gonna jump to
the thing that I thought was themost Are you talking about the order ahead
pick up? Because that was myAre you talking about the points? Are
you talking about the points inside thepoints? Wait? What I'm talking about
them? Key points? Yeah?Okay, Well just real quick? The

(24:27):
order ahead pick up too? Uh? Is is there's trends on that basically
restaurants now because this technology is somuch cheaper developing that that you can order
online, it goes right to thekitchen and it's ready and you can come
pick it up. Roosters Does thatthat's a chain that's that's around here in
Ohio? Yeah? Every time,I mean we once a week, once

(24:48):
a week we do it. Andit's so fucking easy. You just get
on your phone. Boo boo boop. Yeah, I'll go, I'll drive
the five minutes and then everybody hasa lot more people yeast and then true,
because you're still making the point thatyou you have to alter the way
you make your food so that ittastes good when it travels. But you
know, wings or wings, it'seasy to do that with that. I

(25:08):
mean there's definitely food that doesn't carryyeah, exactly where you're gonna work,
there's gonna be no issue because that'sit's been like that for years. Yeah,
for hundreds of years. That's howpeople have done that. But like,
I'm not ordering like like a panfried, let's say a pan fried
like a red snapper or something likethat. I'm not ordering that from.
You should either go to a restaurant, eat that right, make it home

(25:30):
exactly exactly, like that's what we'reordering from door Dash and Uber Eats.
It's gonna be we know it's alreadyship. I mean it's yeah, bar
snack food exactly. It's not We'renot like, hey, it's again,
Hey, it's our anniversal like Chinesefood carries fucking well food. Man.

(25:52):
Oh god, a little sweet sweetsout chicken, yeah, a little chicken
fried. See that being our teno'clock, like we need some reddish bright
God. We got to do thatagain. Someday we will. I always
see them on light. That's ourbuddy, Jimmy and Jay then we always
see them. I always see themonline and I never never play over.
What was the game called hilarious overcooked? To The video on my YouTube at

(26:17):
ohio stout has over twelve views,So thanks for that all. I watched
it sometimes. I watch it sometimesjust to laugh and think about the good
old days. Anyway, what's thenext point? Well, I mean,
like I said, I wasn't goingto go through this entire article. No,
I want to pick just like themain points that I like that.
But the one that I kind ofwanted to get your opinion on was that
restaurants are exploring new revenue streams,which is a topic in here. I

(26:37):
want to try to guess what thewhat the sub points aren't below it.
Let me guess so merchandise, branding, retail or any of those in there.
Yeah, I'm just still reading.Retail is number one. Yeah,
so retail is becoming and then Iam he's reading through that. Anybody that

(27:02):
knows me, I have about eightythree baseball caps wearing one right now.
I literally buy one if I goto a bar or a restaurant and they
have fucking hats that in a stylethat I like, I'm fucking buying it.
Yeah, and I wear all ofthem. Yeah. T shirts are
always a big one. I don'teven know which one I'm wearing. Fucking
Boujie Taco plays before a comedy showwith a girl and they had like a

(27:26):
wall of really funny, in appropriateT shirts and I wasn't gonna get one,
but she won. Once we've beenbuying two of them because it's just
catching and that's all They're gonna makeextra money. But the thing that I
don't think really gets touched on inhere is a place that you used to
work. A lot of places aredoing this, have like a wine club
now, yeah club, we couldsay Cooper Talk, Cooper Talk. And
then there's BJ's and Toledo they havelike beer, you know they do.

(27:47):
I forgot they had that beer cluband their beer is not bad. No,
I'm good beer. It's not badthat those kinds of things are coming
up too. And I will saythat is why So in twenty oh my
god, we've been here for whatseven eight years in Columbus. Yeah,
so twenty fourteen, that year that'swhen Cooper's Hawkwiner and Restaurants was like on
the top ten, like fastest growinghottest emerging chains in the country. It

(28:12):
not because of their food, notbecause of their service. Anybody who's been
to the Cooper's Hawking Toledo, Ohioknows that it's not because of the service.
That's beause it's Tweed, Ohio.Yeah, and then not because of
the food, even though already saidthat. The fucking wine Club, it
costs them about a dollar fifty totwo dollars to sometimes three dollars to make

(28:32):
that wine. And the wine Club, the cheapest one you can do is
I think ten ninety nine a month, and the most expensive one is like
one hundred dollars a month. Yeah. They make so much goddamn money off
of that, it is insane.Yeah, And lots of boys are doing
things like that, that exact samething, and they they they struck that
iron while it was fucking hot,because now everybody's like catching up, and

(28:52):
it is I remember like sitting.I mean, I was in training for
that job for god talk at threemonths because you had to know so much
about wine, which all, bythe way, left my brain, all
left my brain. Yeah, Ihave no fucking I know. But the
difference between like a few of them, But as far as where the grapes
come. I've fucking no clue,but the I was, I was gonna

(29:18):
verb sitting. I remember sitting inthose classes and they were explaining like how
much it costs makeup bttle of wineand how much we charge. I was
like, these guys are fucking folicingpeople. They are, and I'm sure
if they're if you have the rightperson, they're good at selling it.
Like it does sound enticing to do. It sounds like a deal. The

(29:41):
wine is fucking good, and ohyeah, I'm not talking. Shannon and
I are like members of it.The fact that I just don't know why
nobody thought of that, I like, I think about it sometimes. It's
like, God, do you everthink about like ideas that you kind of
had and then like you forget aboutit, but that somebody else doesn't.
You're like, they took my idea. You know, you did nothing to
like make that idea thought one time, so it's mine. Yeah, yeah,

(30:02):
and that's I remember meeting that guy, and he was a good dude.
And like, I have a lotof really close friends that still work
there to this day. It's agood company. I'm bummed out that the
Toledo wants sucks. Yeah, it'sjust because of where they put it.
They should have put it in ParisBred and they put it in leve Us
or not leve Us fall Timbers,right. No, they put it in
a fucking Talmon Jim in Row Streetnext to Olive Garden. Oh that's why
it's failing. That's awful. Yeah, it's where every restaurant and Tweedle is,

(30:25):
every chain restaurant. Yeah, ifthey would have put it, that
would have killed you have no chance. It was staffing it. That's the
only reason. Yeah, all right, sorry, But as far as the
like the the T shirts and thebranding stuff go, Yeah, the wine
club thing, yeah, it was. It was. It was insane and
we're members of it and we havewe actually have some battles that we got
to pick up. We probably shouldhave done that should have got him because
we have we're having steak tonight.Turner bought a steak. Tell you grab

(30:45):
turn turn turn about staking crab cakesbecause Turner hit the tables. Turner hit
the tables. He feeling good.One that's still like, it makes me
sick to think about that. Youknow how hard it was to get up
and leave. I'm glad. I'mactually like super proud of you for getting
up and leaving. Yeah, Likethat's that takes so much like self control,
and like I wouldn't been able todo that. I could guarantee this.

(31:07):
It's not long it's been since we'vetalked this much, and even talk
you can there's a car by theway you can hit that. I guarantee
this is one of the reasons whyit was easy to get up. I
didn't have cash besides what I playedwith okay, and you can only buy
drinks with cash. So a girlcame around and she's exactly one thing.
I said, I want to doublegin Tonic with lime. And she came

(31:30):
back and I was like, here'smy card and she's like no, like
there's chips. She's like, hasto be cash, Like, well,
I guess you're not. No one'spaying for that drink. Take it back.
Oh, And then I didn't wantto get it from the table and
walk to the bar. Yeah,because I had a lot of money on
the table. So I just waslike and then I told you everything was
changing. I made a lot ofmoney quickly. Yeah. Is that a
way I've never heard? Is thata way to like keep people from staying

(31:52):
so long. No, I think, no, they want you to stay
longer. I want you to loseall your money. Yeah. No,
but it's like the cocktail service,And I just don't think that they want
to walk around with like a tabletor whatever I should because well, I'm
as gonna say if they use ifthey switch to Toast, the toast things
are like this fucking they're the sizeof an iPhone. Yeah, I mean
that's I've used Toast. Yeah,like I just another thing. I Toast

(32:13):
is a pup point of sales system. It's it is as Yeah. Also,
like in a casino, I'm probablythe only person who wasn't walking around
with extra cash. I went andtook out exactly how much money I wanted
to gamble with, put all ofit on the table. Like most people
at that table were losing hundreds ofdollars, Yeah, most of them.

(32:35):
The people that were losing hundreds ofdollars at a time, just kept pointing
more cash out. That's a goodway to do it. I feel like
that every time I go to casino, that's what I do. I take
out like one hundred bucks, youknow, like this is what I'm gonna
do and if it once, thisis gone, this is gone, Like
yeah, yeah, that was anentertainment for the night, Go home.
I did not go there for entertainment. I went there for one reason.
Yeah, fucking knocked it out ofthe park if I can killed it,
and I'm gonna have a New Yorkstrip tonight because of it. I appreciate

(32:59):
that, but I just think,yeah, I just I can't do the
gambling thing. Man, It's justwhatever, all right, what's the next
point here? I'm gonna go overthat that the food branding is something that
I think is really cool and Ireally think too. By the way,
if you think about advertisement too,you may you brought up a really good
point, like the door dash advertisementthing. Think about advertising costs money,

(33:21):
Like even those really cheap commercials thatyou see on you know, your after
like during your local news, itcosts money to make that, and then
it costs money to put that commercialon the air for a certain number of
times at a certain time. Soall of that costs money. Would you
rather do that by ads based onlike a radio, which I don't I

(33:43):
can't remember the last time I listenedto a radio. And my mom's car
he almost ran us off the roada thousand times. A radio. We'll
get to that. A radio,but it costs money. Does that sound
like something you want to do oryou can do it to add and pizza
boxes, Yeah, think about pizzaboxes. Think about pizza boxes. Pizza

(34:04):
boxes, Like, that's why it'sso important to so many people. I'm
not gonna get too deep in thein the weeds with it, but that
again, that's like that, that'slike the first form of advertising that you
have is your pizza box and thatpart of your branding. And then digging
into the T shirt and had ideait costs, say it costs five hundred,
but like I've I've made jersey before, I play hockey, humble brag
or whatever. I'm super awesome,I break my leg and stuff. At

(34:28):
least you said, yeah, yeah, I'm not good at all. I
think it's like maybe a thousand dollarsto make like a bunch of personalized jerseys.
But if you've made like a bunchof T shirts, you could get
five hundred T shirts for probably onehundred and fifty bucks. Oh yeah,
I mean you charge and charge thenten dollars per T shirt. Yeah,

(34:49):
or fifteen or twenty or twenty eight. Yeah, if you're getting a really
basic logo, it doesn't of aT shirt that you paid, you know,
a dollar fifty to two fifty fourto make. Basically, that's that's
where it's at. That one canget crazy and I've had to look in
that side of it when you startgetting into materials, layering, colors different.
I mean, you can spend fifteendollars a T shirt and then charges
twenty and you're back to basically notmaking any money. But it was really

(35:13):
cool from T shirt. I thinkyou would want to get Like I think
because that's the thing, like assomebody who does purchase this stuff a lot,
like I purchase if I go toa restaurant, I like the restaurant
and it's like a cool spot,or if it were on a trip,
because it's like instead of buying Tshirts, eye buy hats, right,
Yeah, if you've got a coolhat design, I'm fucking like I said,

(35:34):
I'm buying if the design school,I don't even hear what logos and
like sometimes I paid up, likeI can't remember the most I've paid fifty.
I think it was like forty fivefifty and I want to say that
was either land Grant or maybe itwas this one for this forbidden route one.
Here's the thing, there's the people, the brands that just put out

(35:55):
like the most basic bullshit hat thatjust has their name on it. I
don't know why anybody is buying that. Yeah, and I think that it's
a bad design. Yeah, it'snot like I'm just talking about fashion.
It's not fashion. I mean that'sI the will call starter kit is a
bar or brewery or restaurant hat,a T shirt yeah, and jeans like
I that's that's the starter back mypersonalities. And it's the low seventy five

(36:21):
degrees outside. You have to havea hoodie on yep, long pants yep.
Yeah, I don't have body fatto protect myself. Just it just
made me think of the bachelor partyor the whole time we had on long
pants and its wedding. Yeah,and guess who didn't get bitten the fuck
up by mosquitoes. That's true,Uh, your boy, Oh, Willie
Coles, Willie west Side over here, Willie west Side did not get bitten

(36:45):
by mosquitoes. Shannon looked like shehad fucking leprosy. Yeah, like she
had bumps fucking everywhere everybody else did. And keep in mind, like that
happened, Let's talk about the wedding. Yeah, we haven't talked about what.
Let's talk about the wedding, andwe're gonna do a whole episode on
it. We could, I meanmaybe could. But our friends Tyler and
Sean got married super gay. Imean, it's the gayest thing I've ever
seen. They really like the leastgig gay people with Tyler and didn't really

(37:10):
know he was gay. Well,that's my joke was like I thought I
did not know that Tyler was gaybecause Shannon would always talk about him and
that was in my speech, likeshe'd always talk about the fuck is this
motherfucker? And then I met him, and then I still didn't kind of
know. But then he's like,like I know I'm gay, and here
my boyfriend. Basically it's like,oh okay, uh, but it was

(37:34):
a lot of fun. Basically wentthis like we got to go back to
Sandusky, m okay, just makingsure I don't want you to say it
because I'm gonna get upset to CedarPoint Town and basically stayed on a farm
for two days. It was soand I wish if I could go back,

(37:58):
I would have brought my fishing pole. That's exactly what I was gonna
say. Yeah, although I don'thave a fly fishing pool, and I
think you basically had to Yeah,you do have to have fun. I
do, Yeah, I do stream. Yeah, the trout Club, it
was literally yeah, so the troutClub was like up river about but I
mean less than I mean it hadto be my point one mile oh yeah,
I mean technically I think you hadto be a memory to fish there.
But then if you're on property,if you're on property, just going

(38:21):
but so like yeah, and itwas just this beautiful like this giant bar
and and then like a house andwe all stayed in this like loft,
kind of like summer camp style.Well I didn't, you didn't, you
didn't use I had to sleep intheir bridle Sweet. First slept in the
Bridal Sweet the first night Chris offered. He said, I'll sleep on the
couch, and you're like, nah, I got it. Yeah, I
didn't care. Yeah, And Iwanted to sleep outside in the hammock,

(38:43):
and it was Sean who told meI wasn't allowed. Yeah, because you'll
get eaten alive better. Yeah,because were literally at that point we had
come inside it was very buggy.Was because it was so Yeah, and
so I don't you would have youwould have lasted two seconds. Yeah,
I would have passed out. Yeah, but then you would have woke up
and you would have looked would havebeen it would have been pretty bad.

(39:04):
But I didn't stay there at allthe second night, yeah, because yeah,
And I honestly thought, so,here's the funny story. Turner's like,
yeah, I'm getting a hotel.I'm getting a hotel. And I
thought it was because there was noroom like in the yeah, in the
in the place that we were at, because we, like the boys like
miscounted and I was like, howboys, Like, how the fuck did
you miscount an entire person? Iwould have brought like an air mattress.
We would have been fine. Iwould have supped in my car. Yeah,

(39:27):
Like and then oh, no,turn Turner has a like we we
go to check at a Turner's hotelin the middle of the day because he
got to early check in because itwas the day of the wedding. He's
like, I had to h itwas a sweet old lady. And I
feel bad because I'm gonna wreck thatroom later. And I was like,
what by yourself? He's like,no, on my date? And I
was like, what fucking date.He's like, dude, I got a
girl coming. I was like waitwhat, Yeah, I thought you were

(39:47):
just being I thought you were gonnajust ferociously masturbate and ruin that room.
No, No, we just didall that together. That's a fucking cross.
Don't get me going. No,there wasn't intentionally getting you go,
and I just thought you were fullof shit and then Nope. That did
make me laugh so hard when wewere leaving and they're like, wait,
why did you get them? Hellyeah, I honestly had no fun to

(40:08):
Sandusky. Why would you even dothat? Damn? I said it right.
No, you didn't send dusky Sandusky, sand Dusky. Why are you
hard? Why are you so hardon the Sandusky. It's not the d
that you sandusky, you know whatit is? So I thought about this.
I think it's the way everybody inTweedo says, a's ah, that's

(40:29):
like a sand sand that's not sanddusky Sandusky. Well then then like people
say that, we say it wrongbecause it's like it's not sum dusky because
it's sandusky, like we say itlike a sun dusky. I don't know,
it's just that like in between Clevelandand Toledo where nothing makes sense there
at all. Everything's wrong. Idon't know. I I feel like I
overreact to it every time you doit. But I think that's part of

(40:51):
the bits, Like it's just goingto be an ongoing bit for the rest
of my life. And you don'tknow if we're not doing podcast. Here's
the here's the iron here's the irony. I know that I'm going to die
first. Yeah, yeah, I'mdying first. Like that's the thing that
I love about most about hanging outwith like big groups of people like that.
Like we went to the Bachelord partyand the wedding. Well, first

(41:13):
of all, we're getting old becausethe the ship talking is now who got
up the earliest? Yeah yeah,you slept till eight plusy Yeah I didn't
even go for a run or domy bush more than anything. At the
at the Bachelord party, like I'mnever gonna die, I break a bottle
of bourbon and got up at sixand then went on a bike rud on
some shink I don't even kind ofbike. I don't know. Yeah,

(41:34):
so that was pretty funny to mebecause you you and I was just like
ready to go and the boys arejust dying, like go outside. Yeah,
he was just he rode on abike and I did too. I
woke up and woke up. Yeahyou went. Yeah, so I run
and yeah, what's her name?Mary? Mary? Yeah, the sweet
the sweetest people like Shawn's parents andsweets people in the world, and so

(41:55):
were over by just doing that.Yeah, and so we we We're on
Kelly's Island and we we you know, we obviously go hard the first night
and yeah, turners like, well, I'm gonna wake up early and I'm
gonna do this. We're like,yeah, right whatever, and they did.
And then I was like, dude, I'll go with you. And
Tyler wanted to go for a runas well. So I'm riding next to
Tyler. You're riding next to Mary, who is Sean's and then John's like,

(42:16):
I'll catch up. I'll catch upbecause he had to inflate the bike
tires. So I'm on like anactual like road bike, not me,
you are on. I had momson and I was on a beach comber
bike. Yeah. It was basicallyall the bikes that you saw in the
Barbie movie. Yeah, that's whathe was on. And I rode with
Tyler for about a mile, rodeback, and then Turner just kept going

(42:40):
with Mary and John after he caughtup, and then I went back with
Tyler because that's the best man,Like, I have to do that.
I have to make sure that he'syeah, I have to do my due
diligence take him back. I waslike, well, I want to go
make sure the Turner's okay. SoI turn around and I ride for what
felt like a fucking like forty fiveYeah, like it fell off so long,

(43:01):
man. And then I made itto the Glacier Grooves and I still
hadn't seen you guys, because youguys went with the entire You went into
the entire island, and I waslike, fuck it. I just took
some pictures of the glacier grooves andthen I just I turned around and went
back and my legs were burning.Then you guys got back like an hour
later. Oh yeah, and Marybrand the holding Mary just kept running.

(43:21):
That woman is that woman is builtdifferent and also one of the sweetest people
I've ever remet minded. That's whata probably able, a healthy relationship looks
like. But I've never seen one. Yeah, they are pretty sure.
It seems good. I don't.I think mine's all right. She Like
I wake up like every day andmy face hurts less, So I don't
think she's punching me in the faceon my sleep as much anymore. Yeah,
so you know, like some daysI'll wake up and I'll taste blood.

(43:43):
But I was like, oh,I must have forgot to put the
toilet seat down. But yeah,this is a bit everybody. I hope
Brady knows that my wife doesn't beatme. And also, domestic miles is
not funny unless you make a goodjoke about it. Uh, the the
girl, it's the guy. Yeahyeah, but yeah that was super fun.
That was like one of them.But yeah, back to my point,

(44:04):
like I'm just never gonna die,like yeah, yeah yeah, and
like I think that I'm gonna diefirst, only because that's irony, because
I always like say that I'm worriedabout you and like that, hey,
you shouldn't do this, you shouldn'tdo that, you know, like I
can't believe you stayed up that late. Blah blah, blah blah. But
I'm gonna like get hit by abus or something. Yeah, it'll be

(44:25):
something you know, boring. Yeah, And like Shannon thinks that Shannon is
convinced that she's gonna die first.Uh, I don't think so, because
she always thinks that something's wrong withher, you know, and like and
so she she's very convinced that she'sgonna die first. I was like,
No, here's the thing is that, like I'm the cautious one, I'm
the careful one. That's why you'regonna die first. And that's why I'm
gonna die first. If I doneit for you, it's gonna be something

(44:46):
really out there, Like I don'tknow, go to the zoo and the
fucking the gorilla breaks the glass.No, like because I'm taunting it that
kind of shit. I was gonnasay, it's somehow be your fault.
It would be my fault because belike taunting a gorilla and you know that's
what it is. Yeah, you'regonna you know, I think it's gonna

(45:06):
be it's gonna be Buss. It'llbe buss or Shannon poisons me. Oh,
I mean that's possible. I toldI kind of look key. You
want to be on like a Netflixor Hulu special, like on the Idy
Channel. You know what I mean, probably gotta cut this the joke there
was, and then what i wantto do when I cut stuff is I'm
gonna leave the I'm probably gonna cutthis and then part and then cut like

(45:28):
the stuff before that, and I'llleave all this into if we're going back.
I wonder what the fuck they said? But no, there's always something
off the wall those Idy Channel shows, and so it would be something like
that that has nothing to do withme. So Shannon would have killed me.
She would have poisoned me with likecyanide or something like that. Right,
I don't think that's the one.What are you thinking of? No?
I mean, I just don't thinkthis one. She'll use Oh you

(45:50):
know, she'll use something. She'llput it in like a nutty bar or
looks in the Kroger cookies. Sheworks around stuff. No, she's in
like an office build. She's notactually in the hospital. No, what
I mean, like there's people there, Yeah, there's people there. She
could ask him, I could askYeah, she could ask a doctor like
what would kill my husband? Slowly? That would be on detectable, just
just for I'm writing a script,I writing a screenplay. What's the slowest
way you can kill somebody? Butyeah, but they always do like off

(46:12):
of all stuff that has nothing todo with it, like the oh he
was part of an MLM scheme.It's just like he will. He just
he loved unicorns, and we allthought it was super weird and like it's
gonna be someone's gonna lie about meand I just don't like that, and
I I just want to be paintedin a good light. It's like it
was in Andrew Tates. So wefound all these yeah, like so it's
weird because like once I killed him, we found all these Andrew tape books

(46:37):
and then he had all these Magahats like behind all of his stuff.
Good riddance, See there's somehow it'sgonna be. And then Shannon's gonna look
like the hero said. Epstein didn'tkill himself or did kill ms? I
don't know. Epstein didn't kill himself. He didn't, yeh. That's that's
why you're gonna fucking didn't. That'swhat's gonna be. Didn't And now all

(46:58):
this stuff there they loved out oflight. He loved bud Light and Disney
movies and shopping for close at Target. Target. Yeah, they loved trans
kids. I don't know if theydid something with like they did something that
everybody overreacted to with T shirts andship it tries, it dries me.

(47:19):
Fucking That's how out of touch Iam with the world. Good. Well,
that's that's the part of the worldthat I want to be out of
touch with. If you get sensitiveabout. First of all, if you
get sensitive about the Barbie movie,how small is your dick? Did you
see it or something? Fuck?Yeah, I saw it was awesome interest
in that it was odd like Isaw it was not because of Barbie.
I just like, why would Iwaste my time? Shannon, it's funny.

(47:39):
It is pretty funny. I likethat. Greta Gerwig, she is
the one that ridd it. Shewrote like Lady Bird and all this shit.
She like got nominated for budget.She's just funny. She's funny.
She's a funny gal. So shewrites with her husband, who's also hilarious.
His name is Noah. But eitherway, I went and saw it
and I liked it, okay,And the amount of like Shapiro ripped it

(48:00):
to pieces, and I thought itwas fucking hilarious, like the points that
he made, and I was like, dude, I kind of get it,
but also like what they're saying it'spretty true. So what did he
say? Oh, he just rippedit about being like overly feministic and it
made men look like idiots and likeit was an When I say that text
message, I probably was like hearingthat. Yeah, everybody's saying it attacks

(48:22):
mails. But the Quotesbie of course, the quotes that fucking came from that
movie Ryan Gosling in that movie asken As like stupid can is fucking hilarious.
I mean, it is the funniestfucking thing. So yeah, I'd
go see it. I'd say gosee it because, if anything, it
just makes light of all that stuffand it makes it fun. I didn't

(48:43):
get the huge debate of like whichone's going to be better, Oppenheimer or
Barbie. I think it's just becausethey both came out at the same time,
and then a lot of people calledit like Barbieheimer, where they would
go see Barbie and then go seeOppenheimer after Oh, that makes just five
and a half six hours worth ofmovie. Because I mean itself just three
hours, lady, and then youdo something well, I gets. I
mean, that's the thing. Ilove history and stuff like that. And
I'm gonna see I'm gonna wait.Everybody's like, go to see the IMAX

(49:06):
version. I don't see a fuckingmovie in the movie theater unless I absolutely
have to with my kid. It'sjust I'm not doing it. I've discovered.
I've discovered it's my favorite thing todo. I like the movie theater.
I fucking love it. And here'sthe thing, because you know me,
I'm anxiety written and all that shit, and I hate people as signed
seating saved movies. It's saved,yeah, but they don't really make you
follow it. Yeah they do.Well, I'm not going to one that's
like sold out. Yeah, Likeno, they d k you follow up,

(49:29):
okay, yeah, especially if it'ssold out. Yeah it's I mean,
like the last movie I went tohad assigned seating. There was like
twenty, yeah, twenty people inthe whole theater we had when we went
it, Like it got crowded,but we were right in the center.
And like the most of the theatersthat we go to, all the seats
are in twos as well, soyou're like on a big fucking couch by
yourself. Oh, I don't knowif you guys have that. I don't
think you have an c's up there. I think you're all cinemark up there.

(49:51):
So they am se ACM or AMC'sdown here. It's these basically fucking
love seats. Okay, And soyou know you just gotta cut that in
the movie. Anyway, I gottacut that as well. This is gonna
take me ninety seven minutes. Thisepisode's gonna be four minutes after after we're
done, you keep on the cutthings. I haven't heard one thing yet.
I can't go on the internet.I'm not gonna say well on the
internet, but like, do Iwant it on the internet? As the

(50:13):
question, because see again, thisis why you're gonna die before me.
Yeah, because I worry about it. I'm done to my mouth and I
don't care because I worry about everything. That's the point. Let me talk
about one more thing. Yeah you'rea bitch. Oh well yeah, this
I think like this was this wasmore of a sign Fieldy episode. It
felt very sign Fieldy to me.We got way all on a well again,

I think it was good. Idon't know if there was. We're gonna
have three of these or hopefully four. I'm hoping. I'm hoping for four
that we can I can release itlike once every two weeks and then four
o'clock. We did this and technicallyunder two hours. Here's here's the here's
a kicker car too, and like, and this is something I'm totally willing
to do. How is your lapwhat's your laptop game looking like? Yeah?

(50:59):
Right, the laptop. You justwant to have one, but porter
stood on it to the screens broke. Yeah, so you just want fifteen
hundred dollars. I know, Iwould think that you could get something very
basic for about five hundred six hundreddollars. I was thinking a tablet with
the keyboard. That's not gonna work. I mean it could. This is
not the time to have this conversation. I'm saying that, like with your

(51:22):

like a forty five dollars one,but I could like, I'm gonna teach
you something. You send me one. Yeah, okay, Yeah, I
had the good one. Then itbroke. Then it broke. Yeah,
