Um Seeger, let me tell you what this B what this B word over here B for Brooke.
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:20.960

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:21.600
B for Brook.
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:23.280
What she did yesterday, right?
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:24.079
What did you do?
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:25.359
Also B for brunch.
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:25.600
Okay.
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:26.559
So B for brunch.
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:28.640
So already it's already a fragile state.
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:28.960
Yeah.
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:29.920
Let me set it up for you.
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:32.960
So I have just finished opening.
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:37.520
I knew that she was working on the schedule yesterday morning, and I was excited.
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.119
I I enjoy when the stars align and we work a shift together.
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:41.759
Yeah.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:42.799
Especially brunch.
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.039
Just because like it's like greet all my tables at first.
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:46.719
You know, you keep an eye on my section.
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.000
I was gonna say that, but I have a better time at brunch when when Brooke is there because it's just fun.
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:52.320
Right.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:52.719
Right?
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.640
So I just finished opening, go into the bathroom to get dressed.
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.159
I come out headed into pre-shift, and there she is, ready for pre-shift.
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.320
Flips me the bird as I double birds.
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.079
As I walk up to pre-shift, our usual greeting.
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:11.040
And uh we we hadn't gotten 30 seconds into pre-shift when I think people were still talking.
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.519
Our manager goes, I need to lose somebody this morning.
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:14.239
Boom.
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.040
I don't even think he finished asking.
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:20.640
It was like a cartoon when like they're the they're just gone.
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.280
It's just that that smoke puff that's just remained.
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:23.680
Yeah.
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:24.560
Smoke bomb.
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:25.120
Yep.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:26.159
Gone.
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.280
She was out of here.
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:28.879
Gone so quickly.
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:29.840
Gone like the wind.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.000
And insult to injury.
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.120
Right into like the thick of whatever the brunch.
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:35.920
It was a weird one.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.040
I think it was like 12 30.
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.640
It wasn't super crazy yesterday.
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:39.599
We'll get to that.
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.159
Uh, I pull my phone out of my pocket.
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:43.760
Message from Brooke.
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:45.359
How's brunch suckers?
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.159
Yeah, I pissed.
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:52.159
Cold hearted beat.
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:52.640
Literally.
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:53.280
It was great.
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.159
No, I was happy for you.
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:54.319
Yeah.
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:54.959
It was slow.
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:55.680
You didn't miss much.
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.879
I forgot that it was the first home game for the Titans, and I was like, damn, it's a nice day out.
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.040
First Titans home game.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.879
Usually blew it, by the way.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.319
Did you watch it with your off time?
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:08.960
Did you go?
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:09.759
No.
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.159
Typically, that means if they play a home game, we're dead.
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.879
Because every all of our clients, uh, clients, all of our clientele goes to the game.
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.800
Yeah, so I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:28.400
No, I was just just a like at the beginning of the season, especially, because everybody is hopeful again for a good year.
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.560
Like we're gonna have maybe have a good team this year.
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.800
Like we've not had the two worst records in the NFL, like back-to-back seasons.
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:35.199
Right.
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.919
So everyone's like, they're hyped up and they're gonna go to the game.
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.719
So first home game of the year, we have a very quiet brunch.
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:41.759
Yeah, the first couple.
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:42.080
Yeah.
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.159
It very much sounded like Brooke was like, I forgot the Titans are playing, so I needed to be off.
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:46.960
So I have to go.
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:48.479
And just like did you go to the Titans?
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:49.199
No, not at all.
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.520
I just needed to be off for the day because they were playing.
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:52.639
You have to you understand, right?
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.039
Yeah, after four years, this is when she announces she's been a closet hardcore Titans freak the whole time.
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.520
Yeah, you didn't miss much.
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:02.879
It was definitely slow.
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:09.840
Most of our clientele went to the game and they wasted money on that because we lost to the friggin' Jets.
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:18.159
J-E-T S just people were calling apparently in the sports world, people were were calling this the toilet bowl game.
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:19.120
Two shittiest teams.
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:20.319
It was the two worst teams.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:20.800
Yeah.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:21.919
Terrible.
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.919
They owned us yesterday.
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.560
I used to be a by proxy a Jets fan.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.080
Oh, because yeah, you're yeah.
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:34.000
Luke also mentioned the Jets yesterday, and I was like, shut your long island ass up.
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.680
You're in Titans Country, boy.
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.680
Up there, you either have to be Patriots, Giants, or Jets.
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:40.080
Right.
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:40.319
Yeah.
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:40.800
Yeah.
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.840
And then yeah, they then they took they took it over.
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:44.240
They won.
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:44.400
Yeah.
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:45.120
Bad.
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:46.879
Probably the only one that win all year.
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.000
So you made a uh probably you made a good choice.
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:50.479
I did.
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:51.840
I know I knew I did.
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:52.240
Yeah.
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:53.120
Saw my section.
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:54.319
I was like, poof, gotta go.
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:54.879
Later.
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.120
Yeah, it was a weird, weird brunch.
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:58.960
Other than it being slow.
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:00.319
Many to goes.
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.080
Do you know if many to go's were called in?
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:03.520
I I think there were some.
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:03.840
Yeah.
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.159
I'd s Ethan stayed kind of busy, I feel like.
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:15.120
Uh I don't know if it was super crazy, but it was also an interesting brunch for me because I didn't see a single one of my regulars.
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:16.800
And that's very weird.
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:17.839
That's like a reverse.
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:22.240
Usually you have at least two at out the gate when the door opens.
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:22.560
Yeah.
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:22.879
Yeah.
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:23.759
Yeah, literally.
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.000
It's like a reverse unicorn moment.
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:32.319
It's like are there other like brunch regular not happen to be your regulars, but like did you see like the family that doesn't?
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:33.519
Yeah, I didn't know.
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.600
There were a few of the normal faces in there.
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:42.800
Um and then finally, after brunch was was over, a couple of my regulars came in later in the day.
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:44.319
So it wasn't a complete.
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.079
But it was just it was weird.
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.879
Normally there's always I know when people are out of town, I know most of my regulars don't go to Titans games.
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:51.199
Right.
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:52.160
It's just a weird day.
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:52.560
Yeah.
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:54.240
I've been missing my regulars.
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.680
They'll be text they'll text me during the week, and I'm like, I'm not there today.
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.279
Yeah, I've I've been the uh benefactor of that a couple times now.
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:02.079
For sure.
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:04.639
But busy night last night, too.
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.160
It was it made up for the brunch.
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:06.959
So good.
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:07.360
Yeah.
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.240
Anyway.
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.879
Uh what did you do with your day off again, you said?
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:17.360
Well, I had a reason I wanted to get off other than the Titans game was on.
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.839
Because I have a new baby at home.
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.199
I got a new busy.
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:22.959
I got a little baby.
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:28.160
You have uh rescued another animal after all of the times, dude.
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:32.079
I'm gonna make a compilation of all the times we've said no more fucking no more cats.
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.079
You, my mom, everyone, no more cats.
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:34.800
I have a problem.
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.079
Now, but I have a problem.
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.560
It's a good problem to have when you're saving.
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:40.560
Yeah, so I saved the cat.
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:42.879
And I'm not keeping the cat.
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.879
Let's put this on out there now.
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:45.279
Okay.
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.000
This is not a name.
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.240
I'm not keeping the cat, even though I named her Jefferson.
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:50.160
Even though I've named her.
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.199
Who names a female cat Jefferson?
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.519
Well, because it was the street that I picked her up on.
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:56.720
It's Jeff for short.
00:05:59.120 --> 00:05:59.519
Oh, I got you.
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.519
Well, yeah, you're out there doing them doing the Lord's work, you know, keeping kitties alive.
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.800
Literally, and of course I found her found it on a Saturday.
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.160
Nothing's open.
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.240
Not a place to take her, no rescues open.
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.680
But she weighs 0.76 pounds.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.120
0.76.
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:19.920
Less than a pound.
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:21.439
It's a little baby.
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.879
That's concerning.
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:23.360
Crazy.
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:24.480
She's just little.
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.800
She's just she's like only like three, four weeks old.
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:27.279
Oh, okay.
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:27.519
Wow.
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:28.639
Just like an actual child.
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:29.360
Actual baby.
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.240
Actual little bit.
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:30.959
An actual child.
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:32.240
An actual child.
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:34.560
Welcome to the home.
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:43.279
I was I was more concerned when I saw your story that this was going to be another animal life that I'd be responsible for at some point in the future.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:43.839
Yes.
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.519
Uh when I house it for you again.
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:46.399
Okay.
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:47.120
It won't be there.
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:47.920
It will not be there.
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:48.480
Gotcha.
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:49.279
Good.
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.480
I went to I went to a fruit tea festival.
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:53.439
I saw that.
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:54.240
This weekend.
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:55.439
What is that about?
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.120
So let me break it down for you because I go ahead.
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:00.720
Just make festivals about everything.
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:01.759
Literally everything.
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.439
There's a festival for everything, right?
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.959
Now there's a national holiday and a festival for everything.
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:08.079
Every single thing.
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:11.759
Do you know what should be a fucking holiday?
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:12.160
What?
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:13.279
9-11.
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.519
Why do we not get that off?
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.160
Why is that not like a holiday?
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.319
Not to celebrate, obviously.
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:21.600
I'm with you.
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:23.040
See, you're just dying.
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.639
First of all, you and I would never get that off.
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.040
We have we have in the restaurant world, we make sure to take it off every year.
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.279
We have one day off a year now and it's Christmas.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:33.839
That's it.
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.800
They've taken away every other possible day off.
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.720
I feel like everyone needs to be at home and watching the name reading.
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:46.160
But as a as a government recognized holiday, I'm actually kind of surprised it's not a thing yet.
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.519
I would think it would be.
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:50.319
I mean, it's been 25.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.399
I can't believe it's 25 years.
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:57.199
We had the, of course, the conversation, you know, as of every year, like, where were you?
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:57.920
What were you doing?
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.439
It's just crazy to think about it's been 25 years.
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:08.879
But of all the things that are government holidays that they shut things down for to observe, I'm surprised that's not been one of them.
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:09.519
One of them.
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:09.759
Right.
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:10.480
At this point.
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:11.920
Maybe we could start the movement.
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:13.199
Just a thought I had.
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.720
Maybe maybe the movement starts right here on Waiting Tables Podcast.
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:17.360
Absolutely.
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.279
To recognize 9-11.
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:28.079
Uh no, everything has a festival, everything has a national day, but I found out a little bit more about the uh fruit tea festival situation.
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.360
It was in Colombia, right?
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:30.079
Of course.
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:40.799
It was technically a fruit teaser, quote unquote, because they have scheduled the official big, huge fruit tea festival for June of 2027.
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:41.840
Where was it at?
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:42.240
The park?
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:43.519
It was down right off the square.
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:44.000
Awesome.
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:44.480
In Columbia.
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.879
There's a big huge parking lot behind the courthouse now.
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:47.679
So it was in that.
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:48.240
Okay.
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.159
So while I was there though, the mayor was there.
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.440
They had the pretty decent sized stage set up for a couple bands to play.
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.919
Anytime anyone says mayor, I just think of Doug Dimodome.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.360
Who's Doug Dimodome?
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.039
From Fairly Odd Parents.
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:02.559
The big tall white hat.
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:04.399
I missed Fairly Odd Parents just by.
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:05.519
I also did.
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:06.399
I just know the cast.
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.519
Yeah, that was my I think that was Stuart watched that a lot.
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:15.679
So he was there, and at a certain point, the mayor gets up.
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:17.440
There were like 17 vendors there.
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:19.200
He's drunk on fruit tea.
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.600
Dude, there was 17 vendors brought their fruit teas, right?
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:24.159
Holy shit.
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.559
So when you you buy a ticket to get in, you get to try all of them and then you vote for who is best.
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:29.120
Okay.
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.200
So you I've tried 17 fruit teas by the end of this.
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:33.519
Yeah.
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:34.559
And some were really good.
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:38.240
Isn't that odd timing?
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:38.799
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.039
That that came up randomly, and then I hit, you know.
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.279
You pounded 17 strawberry teas.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.960
I mean, I think they were like two ounce tasters.
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.960
But that's still 34 ounces of fruit tea by the time I'm done, you know.
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.480
There's a lot of fruit tea.
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.200
My sister's restaurant was participating.
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:57.600
Okay.
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:03.360
Because they've always been recognized as like the best fruit tea in Columbia, some of you know, over the years.
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.159
So that's why we're there to, you know, taste and support.
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:08.159
Anyway, while we're there, what'd the mayor do?
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:18.320
The mayor gets up and he has this, they've they've orchestrated this whole thing to officially declare Columbia, Tennessee as the fruit tea capital of the world.
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:18.879
Whoa.
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:24.320
And it was at that point, I'm standing there with my mom, and she's like trying to understand.
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.399
He's like, he's like reading this proclamation, and she was like, so scroll.
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:30.399
He can I might as well have been.
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.720
So he can just like declare.
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:33.279
Yeah.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.440
And I was like realizing in real time that apparently if no one else has like claimed something, you can claim it.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.039
You can just declare it.
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.399
And I guess it would be up to somebody else to challenge you.
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:45.840
That's how we stole America.
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.919
It's basically how we this is our property now.
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:50.480
Here we are.
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.639
And if you would like to take it, try.
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:52.960
Yeah.
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:54.399
And if you win, you win.
00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:03.039
And so he was just like, I uh hereby as the mayor of Tennessee, Tennessee, declare Columbia, Tennessee as the fruit tea capital of the world.
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:03.600
Okay.
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:04.639
Isn't that crazy?
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:05.039
Yeah.
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:10.320
I hope someone, someone, uh some other mayor of some other town hears that and they're like, oh no.
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:17.759
If this were a movie, it would cut to the scene of the villain in a dark room somewhere watching the footage, watching the broadcast of that.
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.519
And he goes, We'll see about that.
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.480
No, literally.
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:32.879
So just so you know, June of next year, there's gonna be an official huge shebang fruit tea festival, and it will be the first official like fruit tea festival as the fruit tea capital of the world.
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:37.679
So now Colombia, mules, fruit tea, and fruit tea.
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.399
I can honestly say I've never had fruit tea.
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:40.960
What is it?
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:42.960
You've never surely at some point.
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:43.840
I promise you.
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.360
Well is there like stuff in it, or it's just flavored like that?
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:49.279
It's uh well, it depends on who makes it.
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:50.320
There's different recipes.
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.720
A lot of people use they'll take like a brewed tea and then infuse it with pineapple, orange peach, different things.
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:03.600
Well, uh, some people make it with an actual fruit puree.
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:04.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:12.480
You know, and some people like there were a couple recipes at this event that uh showed that they were like using monin peach syrup to make their tea.
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.600
So there was one uh Puckets of Columbia was there.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.000
They had a black, I think it was a blackberry something uh infused fruit tea.
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:21.039
So like different recipes.
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.559
The normal one I think is mostly like peach or something.
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.720
Peach orange pineapple that kind of gets infused into fruit tea.
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:29.039
Yeah.
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.000
Kids I am.
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:30.559
Yeah.
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.639
Next time you're well, now that you know a tea fan.
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:34.960
I mean, I like a sweet tea, but I have to make it myself.
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:35.440
Yeah.
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:35.919
Yeah.
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:41.279
Next time you know, now now that you know that the Columbia is the fruit tea capital of the world, next time you're down there, swing by and grab one.
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.320
Swing by and grab one.
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:42.960
Anywhere?
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:47.519
I bet if you s if you went by Jess's restaurant, she'd give you one on on the on the free fruit.
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:48.320
On the free free.
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:49.840
You know, I know people.
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.039
Got people down there.
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:52.240
People down there know you too.
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:53.840
You know, that's very true, very true.
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:54.720
It was interesting though.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:55.679
It was a good time, though.
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:56.159
Good time.
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:56.559
Okay.
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:56.799
Yeah.
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:57.360
Fruit team.
00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:58.879
Did you get into anything else this week?
00:12:59.039 --> 00:12:59.279
No.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:12:59.600
No?
00:12:59.759 --> 00:12:59.919
No.
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.200
Literally just dealing with back and forth at the vet and calling people, and I almost waterboarded the cat.
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:05.759
I felt bad.
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:06.960
Trying to give it a flea bath.
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:07.759
The new one?
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:08.080
Yeah.
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:08.480
Okay.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:14.320
I was giving it a flea bath with Dawn soap, and I filled up the bottom of the sink with water and I dunked her in.
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:15.519
Obviously, not her head.
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:17.360
No, literally.
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:20.720
And then I went to just go do her butt and her face just like boop fell in.
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.519
I was like, bitch, no, now you have soap in your eyes.
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:25.279
In your bad eyes already.
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:26.960
Rescues cat, kills cat.
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:28.720
Waterboards it.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:35.600
Well, I'm sure you uh you saw that O'Charlie's is done.
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:36.960
Never even eaten at one.
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:38.240
You never ate an O Channel.
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.600
Nope.
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:40.159
That's insane.
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:40.799
That's crazy.
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:41.279
I know.
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:41.840
Not once.
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:42.559
Not one time.
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.759
You've been here how long?
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.840
You had over a decade to make it.
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.399
They've been on the decline for a little while, though.
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:49.200
Honestly.
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.639
Nashville based.
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:51.519
O'Charlie's.
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:53.120
Did they tell?
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.519
I wonder if they told the people that they were shutting down.
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:56.639
Because it was kind of abrupt though.
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:57.840
They were just like, yep, today.
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:02.080
As I read the article, I don't think the employees got much notice.
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.559
It kind of feels like that should be illegal.
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:04.960
Yeah.
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:05.600
Somehow.
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.200
Well, that's almost exactly what happened with uh Red Lobster.
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:09.600
Yeah.
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.320
Last year.
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.159
They didn't close the whole company down, but they shut a lot of shores down.
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:16.639
75% of the restaurants down, no notice.
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:26.559
Um, I was reading about it though, Charlie's thing earlier, and it uh it said that they permanently permanently closed all remaining company-owned locations.
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.159
Are they franchise owned too?
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.440
There are some that are like independently owned, I guess.
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:34.320
But it was a nationwide shutdown at 8 p.m.
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:35.440
on September 9th.
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.879
So like ending it's a 55-year run.
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.159
I wonder why.
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.559
I mean they're food gun is locked.
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:46.399
So not that I know, but I just feel like it it's fast food, right?
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:47.759
Like like casual fast food.
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:55.519
I I mean, they have kind of just fallen into that category of restaurants where like an Applebee's chilies and Harley.
00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:56.399
Yes.
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.120
Slogans, which I'm surprised they're still hanging on.
00:14:59.200 --> 00:14:59.360
Yeah.
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:10.559
That as more restaurants that dive further into, I guess, quality of food and quality of preparation and quality of service kind of take over the game.
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:11.039
Right.
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:16.000
The best way I could describe it is I I went into an O'Charlies last year.
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.159
I think or it might have been earlier.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.200
No, it was last year.
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.360
Fall of last year, I would have been in there.
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:27.200
And it just it when you walk in, it just does, it feels kind of like musty.
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:29.279
There's not many people in there.
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:30.639
It's dark, I bet you it's dark in there.
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:32.879
For but not like a nice dim.
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.480
It's like a like a dingy dim.
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:35.840
Like a dingy dim.
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:47.840
And I went and sat at the bar and like, no offense, but it's like nobody in the building seemed like they were caliber servers of like, you know, like what I'm trying to say.
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:52.240
It was like the older lady that doesn't care what she makes is the bartender.
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:53.039
She's just there.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.279
Or it's the 16-year-old that is their first job as a hostess.
00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:58.480
There's no in between.
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.399
And I've made this example.
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:10.159
You know, having grown up in Spring Hill, a lot of people ask me like about restaurants in Spring Hill, and I normally like to work at, and I normally will tell them I'm like drive the extra 30 minutes.
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.720
Anyone who is great in hospitality works in Franklin or Nashville.
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:14.960
Yeah.
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:21.279
That's why it's hard to, you know, kind of gauge where you're gonna get great service at in Spring Hill, except for a couple places.
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:21.600
Yeah.
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:35.120
Same kind of thing, like those caliber restaurants, like like you said, the Logans, the you know, the Applebee's, the Chili's, all of them, they're kind of fading as more restaurants that care about quality of things are taking over.
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.240
But it was it's been a staple here for a long time.
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:49.519
And I also sidebar, uh, I don't know if you'd seen on Instagram, but uh the restaurant that Drew Talbot worked at for a long time out west closed down.
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.320
Shut down.
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.000
And O'Charlie's was his first restaurant when he lived here.
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.480
So he's like that's like a double way.
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.759
I think we need to check on him and see if he's make sure they're okay.
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.960
Yeah, but the the Boneyard Bistro shutting down looked like it was a very sentimental.
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:05.519
Yeah.
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.039
I look, I I watched both of them.
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.640
They weren't just like, we're shutting down today.
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.119
Sorry, guys.
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:09.519
Yeah.
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:11.039
And they had a lot of memories there.
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:18.880
It's the way that they have both described that place that I've seen on their social media, it feels a lot like like our our place.
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.880
Like if we were to ever, you know.
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:21.519
Yeah, right.
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.559
But we're never never going to never ever.
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.759
We'll be the last one standing.
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:26.240
Yeah.
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.079
But uh, I had a couple small little notes from the week.
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:30.880
How about you?
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.920
You want to kick us off?
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:39.599
I got a phone call the other day, and I thought, I mean, I've gotten this phone call before where they ask if there's a corkage fee.
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.000
Yeah.
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:40.720
Which there is.
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.680
There is$20.
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:42.559
Not bad.
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:43.119
It's whatever.
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:44.400
You want to bring in your own wine?
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:45.119
Sure.
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:45.519
Sure.
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:46.640
Come on in.
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:55.119
So I just thought it was really funny that cut to, I don't know, three hours later, middle of my shift, almost like kind of one of my last tables that I was getting.
00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:01.680
Four top comes in with a bottle of Camus from home with one of the stoppers in it.
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.480
Like they had opened it already.
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.000
Which which would decline the corkage fee.
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:16.960
Well, yes, but I'm also thinking, first off, like it you they these people have to know, like you can't bring like that's an open that's an open container.
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:17.839
Container of liquor.
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:32.799
It wasn't even like she, I because I heard her say it, and she because it was um the lady and the guy who brought the wine first were the first two there, and then Joyner showed up and she was like, Oh, I opened this bottle the other day, and I just didn't, you know, whatever.
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:35.599
Was not a sip drank out of that bottle of wine.
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:37.359
I was like, no, y'all just opened it.
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.920
You call I called you, you called me earlier asking if we had a corkage fee.
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:42.160
Right.
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.759
You bring in an open bottle of wine to avoid corkage fee.
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:50.960
Were they hang on, but also that that's not the entire reason the corkage fee exists.
00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:51.839
No, of course.
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:59.119
Well, were they thinking that just because they had uncorked it themselves and saved us the 30 seconds, they weren't gonna pay the corkage fee?
00:18:59.200 --> 00:18:59.599
They didn't.
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:00.559
I asked Great Lady.
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.400
Great lady was like, No, you already opened it.
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:04.880
You're not gonna pour it, you're not gonna do anything.
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:10.720
But a corkage fee exists, so people just don't always bring their wine in and we lose thousands of dollars on wine.
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.079
It's called a corkage fee because what else would you call it?
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:20.240
A BYO wine fee?
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.160
Yeah, BYOWP.
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:27.119
I I want to publicly state that I'm gonna have a word with her.
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:32.799
I'm gonna have a word with her about this because if you're broadcasting that, then everyone's gonna go, oh well just bring her in.
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:38.720
If I just uncork my own bottle of wine at home, I can bring all my wine in and never have to pay for wine at this restaurant again.
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:39.039
Yep.
00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:39.920
Yeah, wronged.
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:40.960
Yeah wrong.
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.880
Yeah, no, because I went up and asked her, and I was like, I told her the whole thing.
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:53.440
I was like, lady called before, asked about a corkage v, asked about opening wine, and I'm pretty sure this is the same lady at my table right now with a pretty little stopper in the top.
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:58.799
And I will say the asterisk here is that we don't care about shit like that because it's not gonna affect us.
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:04.000
And we are we do stuff like that for tipped great on top, like they were a great table, but it's just like the little things.
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:12.880
Like, did you think that like I mean, one of their coincidences that someone called that day and then they someone else also showed up with 'cause who would even know if it was that same lady?
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:13.599
Yeah.
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:14.480
Weird.
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:28.160
I just wouldn't want anybody a less caliber style guest thinking that they can roll in with a freaking oak leaf and get away with that shit.
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:29.680
That's yeah, that's funny.
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:30.079
Yeah.
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:31.920
Well, they won't I guess they won't they got it up.
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.880
They won, yeah.
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.640
I mean, and again, uh like I said, Corkage V, if I know you.
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.960
If I know you're gonna uh whoops, forgot.
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:41.440
Yeah.
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:43.359
I was like, I just thought that was so funny.
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.960
I was like, what are the what are you doing?
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:51.279
What are the chances that I took that phone call and then somebody else gotta be them get the table for sure.
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:59.200
I I love when old people come that I love old people, just stop right there.
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:09.440
Also, I I love the other side of this coin is that I love when old people have a regular day that they get together and they keep that tradition going.
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:09.839
Okay.
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:10.880
Like older, you know.
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.200
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:21.759
Couple older guys, women, they come in and they have a beer or something, and it's like you we we've got a couple people that come weekly on the same day to grab lunch together, and I love that.
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.759
Different kind of situation here, like an old people situation.
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:31.519
It's more of like I love when old people go out to eat and they just don't give a f anymore.
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:37.279
Like, well, like I just I took this party, I I think it was with Andrew, I was sharing this party.
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.039
They had no, they were still getting seated, right?
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:46.000
And we're standing there kind of waiting for our moment to walk up and say hello and get drinks started.
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:50.720
And so walk up and hi, can we get you all a couple beverages started?
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:54.240
And this woman sitting down just goes, crab cakes.
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:58.160
Just like doesn't care.
00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:58.960
Drink?
00:21:59.359 --> 00:21:59.759
Doesn't care.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:01.279
About anything else.
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:02.720
And find out later on.
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:04.960
She's completely coherent after talking to her.
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:06.799
She just didn't give her.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:09.599
Let's let's cut the she's like, let's cut the BS.
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.559
You know, I want water.
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:11.759
I need crab cakes right now.
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:12.960
Crab cakes now.
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:13.279
Yeah.
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.920
And you know, it's just like a lot of them at the table.
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:18.079
There's just there's none of this like waiting.
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.839
They're like, this now.
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:20.319
Yep.
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.039
And that's it.
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:31.599
I saw a funny video yesterday, and it's like when grandma stopped caring about everything, and it's like the grandma's 88th birthday, and they're all in the kitchen, and her face is just and they're like happy.
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.079
And she's she they just start singing happy birthday.
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:36.160
She just blows the fucking candles out.
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:37.680
She waits for them to stop.
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:39.359
She's like, Thank you all.
00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:40.480
This will be my last.
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:42.960
Dark.
00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:44.640
They're all like, no, grandma.
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:45.759
No, granny.
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.200
You can just tell, though.
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:48.720
She's like, get out of my house.
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:50.720
She's like, we've been doing this for six.
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:53.279
Like we're good.
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:54.799
I don't need the song anymore.
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:56.400
I don't need the song at 35.
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:56.640
Yeah.
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:57.680
I don't need it.
00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:00.319
If if I never heard happy birthday again, what am I missing?
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:01.039
Wouldn't care.
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.920
Give me the embarrassment that it comes with.
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:06.799
Put a sobrero on me and and have, you know.
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:10.400
Then now we're talking, you know?
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:10.799
Yeah.
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:11.440
Yeah.
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.200
That's the only exception.
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.880
This wasn't my table to begin with.
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:25.440
However, I see this lady, and she's got, she's probably like our age, and she's got like a maybe not even one year old.
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:25.759
Okay.
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:26.720
Maybe one year's old.
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:27.279
Little baby.
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:28.240
Little baby.
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.799
And I see them and they're up.
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.400
She's walking to the bathroom.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.799
They're back down, they're back up, walking to the bathroom.
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:43.359
And then great lady comes over to me and she's like, I need you to take over this table and give them your best, nicest, make them feel welcome, warm, blah, blah, blah.
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:44.319
And I'm like, cool.
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:45.839
What went wrong?
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:47.599
That's where I'm what I want to know.
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:48.480
I don't know.
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:49.519
Prep me.
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.359
Yeah, I'm like, what happened here?
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:55.839
Apparently, it she the lady was crazy.
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:58.000
It was not us at all.
00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.359
It was not us.
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.119
Apparently, she thought, because of course, when I get over there, I'm like, hey, I'm broke.
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:04.160
Great lady introduces me.
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:05.920
She's like, great, you're gonna be serving us now.
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:06.720
Blah, blah, blah.
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.519
Meanwhile, the baby has a plate of noodles in front of it.
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:13.279
And the baby is grabbing the noodles and just putting them on the baby's head.
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:15.839
Like grabbing the noodles, putting them on her own head.
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:18.720
I'm like, okay, mom, you're gonna like do anything.
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.839
Like maybe stop this.
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:21.440
You're gonna intervene here at all?
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:22.400
Not at all.
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:22.960
Not at all.
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:29.200
And then now the baby's like picking up noodles, putting it in the little gravy boat thing, dumping it out, picking it up, just playing.
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:30.559
Chaos.
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:31.119
Chaos.
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:32.400
The baby was so dirty.
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:33.680
So covered in food.
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:35.200
It was like the baby was in a food fight.
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:38.079
That just made I can't, I can't deal deal with it.
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:38.480
Right.
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:50.000
So I'm sitting there now, and this lady is going on and on about how the server she had first immediately, just because she saw a young girl and a kid, decided they were poor.
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:54.240
And I'm I'm sitting there like, oh, like I don't, we don't pass judgment like that.
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.640
Like, that's not anything that we would do here.
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:59.279
Like she's like, now I come, I've been here before.
00:24:59.359 --> 00:24:59.920
Like I come in.
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.559
I usually she dropped like this guy's name at the bar who we really don't care about.
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.119
Love that.
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:05.759
Don't care about.
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:06.880
She named him like five times.
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:12.079
She's like, every time I've come here, I've never asked for bread.
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:13.359
It always just comes.
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:16.559
And we're like, as soon as she said that, I was like, you're done.
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:17.440
In my book.
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:19.119
That's you're lying.
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:20.160
You can't be trusted.
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:20.960
You can't be trusted.
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:21.680
You don't know anything.
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.000
And she's like, and then when I order my salad, they always bring Parmesan on the side.
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.640
And I was like, maybe you think you're at a maybe you think you're at a different restaurant.
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.440
Yeah, right?
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:31.680
Yeah.
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:32.240
Maybe.
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:32.880
Maybe.
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:41.680
Um, but but literally by the end of it, I've come back, they're on dessert now because Great Lady is just buying them whatever to make them happy.
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:46.400
Because I guess she felt as if the server was like, You're poor, I don't care about you.
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:47.599
Whatever, you're just on their table.
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.440
Poor poor poor poor, poor, poor.
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:51.839
Okay.
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:59.039
I just I'm understanding the the psychology of this lady where the whole world is always out to get her.
00:25:59.279 --> 00:25:59.440
Yes.
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:02.240
And then she's telling me, she's like, and I'm not poor.
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:03.119
I have two houses.
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:04.960
I don't even have a mortgage on either of them.
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:05.599
I'm not poor.
00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:07.359
And I was like, Because you're squatting in two houses.
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:09.839
You got your baby in one and you're in the other.
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:13.920
I think you're poor more now than I did when I walked up.
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:16.240
But it was so crazy.
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:19.599
And so the server was Jackie, was like the initial server.
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:22.160
And I'm like, Jackie, what the fuck happened?
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:24.559
And she was like, I don't even know.
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:25.599
She's like, I walked up.
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:32.799
So apparently, when I saw them go to the bathroom first, someone thought those people left and cleaned their whole table off.
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:38.640
So the people come back and or the lady comes back and her table's like gone.
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.440
However, Jackie was like, that is not what happened.
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.119
She said, I took the salt and pepper off the table because the baby was playing with it.
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:46.319
So I put them on the banister.
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:48.160
They're at 23 for reference.
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:48.640
Okay.
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:49.200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:53.039
And so she put them behind her, and there was nothing else on the table to begin with.
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.319
So the crazy lady thought that we had cleared her whole table.
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:56.960
We had.
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:57.839
But we hadn't.
00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:03.119
And so she immediately goes, They must think I'm poor and I can't afford to eat here anymore.
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:03.759
They don't want me.
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:04.640
They kicked me.
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:05.440
No, literally.
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:06.079
Yep.
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:13.119
For just PSA, people like that exist that just let a situation devolve into madness.
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:19.839
I was there for 10 minutes while my uh my section is tanking because I'm listening to this fucking girl not shut up about how we think she's poor.
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.119
I'm like, bitch, I'm poor.
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.319
I don't care if you're poor.
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:23.279
Literally.
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:25.839
I promise you, I'm more poor than you are.
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:28.400
Look where I am.
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:29.359
Look where you are.
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:30.480
You're eating here.
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:31.599
I'm working.
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.759
God, what a psycho.
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:34.799
Psychotic.
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:35.759
I hope she never comes back.
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:36.640
Crazy lady.
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:37.599
That's fantastic.
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:38.240
She's ugh.
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:38.799
She'll be back.
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:39.359
She's reg.
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.319
Oh, really?
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:41.039
Would I know her?
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:41.680
I don't think so.
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:42.720
I'd never seen her before.
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:43.759
With a little baby.
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:45.039
Yeah, with like a tiny baby.
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:46.480
Oh, it was so funny.
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:48.799
She literally was just noodles, head.
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:53.119
That's just a great way, a great picture to be painted.
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:55.599
Like she's already comatose when it comes to her child.
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:56.079
Literally.
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:57.279
Completely detached.
00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.319
Does not care.
00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:58.720
Yeah.
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:03.039
I went to um mark them with spoons for the dessert.
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:03.519
Uh-huh.
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:04.720
Come back with a dessert.
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:05.920
Spoons are gone off the table.
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:07.039
Bit yeah, gone for the table.
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:07.920
Where they're somewhere else.
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:09.039
Can we get spoons?
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.519
And I wanted to be like, well, I just put them on the table.
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:12.480
You had them already.
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:13.279
You had two.
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:15.440
You had two, and now you have zero.
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:17.039
A child has managed to yeet.
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.039
Child of maniac in this short amount of time.
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:21.680
Yes.
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:22.799
Man, that's great.
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:24.880
I just thought she was she was wild.
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:34.799
Sometimes working in restaurants, you just get to like overhear the greatest things that other tables are saying to each other.
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:39.680
And I had I I managed to catch a fun one as I was like walking down the aisle.
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.799
I I wrote it down.
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:41.440
Okay.
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:42.400
So you didn't forget it.
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:44.319
As soon as I heard it, verbatim.
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:45.200
It's nothing crazy.
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:50.720
It's just like it gives you a little look into the pullback and on a foretop, I'll be there listening.
00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:51.920
Like, what are you guys talking about?
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:52.319
Right.
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:54.319
Of course, because I want to I want the tea.
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:54.480
Yeah.
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:59.279
You know, but this is a situation where like they think that they're just talking to each other as a family.
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:06.319
I'm coming by like a like a train, but I it was the right amount of time that I heard the entire little statement here.
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:14.960
And this wife says to her husband in front of their children, stop acting like you're a great parker in the driveway.
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:16.160
You suck.
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:19.759
That's marriage, people.
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:22.559
I started laughing as I walked.
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:25.599
What a great slam.
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:28.000
You know that grinds that lady's ears every morning.
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:28.400
Dude.
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.400
She comes out, goes to work, he's crooked.
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:31.279
She's like, you mother.
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:37.519
Always doing something wrong in the driveway, and she's constantly just getting real fired up about it.
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.640
Enough to slam him in front of their children.
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:42.640
Just really dogging him.
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.039
That's funny.
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:44.640
Yeah, no, that's that's actually perfect.
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:45.359
And that was it.
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:47.920
That's just like sometimes you hear the best things at restaurants.
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:50.079
Or the saddest things at restaurants.
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:50.720
Or the saddest.
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.799
Because on is the flip side of it.
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:54.960
I think I don't know what day it was.
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.519
Must have been Friday, maybe Thursday or Friday.
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:05.599
Zach has a table and it's this like older guy, maybe like 50, 60-ish, and he's sitting there waiting, and he's waiting.
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:09.599
He got stood up by some old broad.
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.519
Or yeah, whore.
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:13.519
Fucking this old little old man.
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:15.759
And of course, great lady's like on her way out.
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.480
And I tell her, I'm like, this guy got stood up, go make his day.
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:19.359
I'm like, go talk to him.
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:20.799
She's like, I don't have time for that.
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:22.880
I'm like, go, he got stood up.
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.319
She doesn't need another fan at that restaurant, honestly.
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:26.640
No.
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:28.640
I was like, go ahead, your pretty face will make his day.
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:29.759
Yeah, well, I would have.
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:31.759
Yeah.
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:38.480
And cut to next week, you got another person looking for so-and-so here today.
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:40.160
What's her schedule?
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:41.200
Uh yeah.
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:42.799
Um that's great.
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:43.680
No, it's good.
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:57.039
I I realized uh this past week that there's something that has happened uh many, many times serving tables that I realize really uh gets under my skin.
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:02.000
And it's uh it's when parents uh order food for their kids.
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:03.839
That's not what gets under my skin.
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:04.960
Letting them eat.
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:08.640
When parents let their kids eat, it really grinds my gears.
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:16.720
No, it's like when when parents I've obviously order a meal for the kid, the kid doesn't touch it and they don't take it home.
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:19.599
Drives me crazy.
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:20.000
Yeah.
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:29.200
I've all like obviously I am somebody who grew up in a situation where if you don't eat this now, you will eat it later.
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:30.240
Right?
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:32.880
You if I'm paying But you're not eating.
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:34.319
I mean you're not eating.
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:36.400
Like, think about back in the 90s, right?
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:36.720
What?
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:45.519
If I'm paying, if mom and dad are paying$10 for me a burger or a chicken tender meal, and I don't eat it, I won't eat another meal again.
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:46.640
Until I eat that.
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:49.200
You won't eat again until this is eaten.
00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:51.279
We're not wasting it.
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:52.559
Okay, Miss Hannigan.
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:55.519
And uh I just think that every time.
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:59.359
Like I serve this table and they ordered the kid a cheeseburger.
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:04.799
And this kid had took like But then get some what grinds my gears after that is they get them the dessert.
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:06.160
Still get them the dessert.
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:06.720
Never.
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:07.599
You bet your ass.
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.000
If I didn't eat that at a restaurant, I'm not getting dessert.
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:10.559
Hell no.
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:12.160
I probably won't get dessert for another week.
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:13.599
All week, literally, all week.
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:19.920
I've got to eat what they ordered and paid for, and then three more days worth of meals to prove I'm I deserve dessert.
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:20.559
100%.
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.480
No, they ordered cheeseburger.
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:32.640
The kid might have eaten two fries and took like the size McDonald's CEO burger bite out of their burger, which I love that's a point of reference now.
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:34.880
And that was it.
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:41.279
And clearing the table, and I was like, I know we're not usually supposed to ask, but I'm like, full burger.
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:42.880
I'm like, do you want to take that with you?
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:43.119
Yeah.
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:44.960
They're like, nah, she won't eat it later.
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:46.880
And I was like, So why'd you get it for now?
00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:47.839
Why would she eat it now?
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:49.039
Why wouldn't you eat it later?
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.480
Why would no one at this table want this perfectly good burger later?
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:53.759
Lady, I'm gonna put it in a box.
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:56.079
This is gonna be my dinner now.
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:56.960
Because I'm poor.
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:58.640
That's not fucking poor.
00:32:58.880 --> 00:32:59.759
Make your kid eat.
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:01.440
Name of this episode is gonna be poor.
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:02.000
Poor.
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:02.799
Guess what?
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:03.519
I'm poor.
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:04.160
Guess what?
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:05.759
I'm poor too, bitch.
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:17.200
Man, I saw the Parker coming around the corner the other day with uh an untouched burger that had come back because it had like something like a tomato on it or something.
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:18.640
She was heading towards the dish pit.
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:20.480
I was like, I was like, what's wrong with that?
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:21.200
When are you doing that?
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.200
He's like, it wasn't supposed to have so and so on it.
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:24.160
I said, give it here.
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:25.279
It is it is now.
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:27.279
That looks like lunch tomorrow.
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:28.880
Did she sneeze on it?
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:30.480
Yeah, I don't even give it here.
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:31.759
Did it touch the table?
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:32.960
Did they touch it with their fingers?
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:33.759
If not, don't care.
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:34.160
Come on.
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:34.559
Give it over.
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:35.440
Coming home with fork.
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:36.240
Fork it over.
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:45.440
The worst is when they're all in like not great moods because it's busy, and they'll just throw something full in the bus tub, and I'm like, I'm like, what are you guys doing?
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.119
There's people who are dying out there.
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:49.279
Just fucking throw my whole roll.
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:50.319
I'll dig it out of the bus.
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:50.799
No, literally.
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:52.319
If it's on top, I'll be like you need bus stops?
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:53.839
Let me empty that bus tub for you.
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:55.119
I know it's getting a little full.
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:56.799
It's the only thing in there.
00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:59.359
Prime rib sandwich for me.
00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:02.160
You got anything else?
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:02.720
That was it.
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:03.200
All right.
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:09.840
Well, I had one thing I wanted to run by you that was kind of like uh it it ended up being a victorious moment.
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:10.400
Okay.
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.800
But have you ever been you've been downtown.
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:13.599
I know you've been downtown.
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:14.239
I've been downtown.
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:22.400
You ever seen uh you ever seen the uh the the food cart or the food truck that goes by the name Weenie Fever?
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:23.840
No, but I got it.
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.000
I got weenie fever is in trash.
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:33.679
I passed by daddy's dogs the other day and thought about it.
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:34.719
Oh, you think about me?
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:35.519
Good.
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:37.519
I I don't know.
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:38.559
I can't continue now.
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:39.440
I have weenie fever.
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:42.320
I don't know why I didn't think for a second you wouldn't say that.
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:44.320
No, I would even start with that.
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:53.920
Well, this starts off kind of kind of upsetting uh because an an employee of Weenie Fever um stole somebody's cell phone.
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:55.119
This happened a couple weeks ago.
00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:03.599
This this person posted in a in a Nashville like tourist group said, I just wanted to let everyone know so you can be aware.
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:11.519
After leaving a bar on Friday uh night on Broadway, I stopped at Weenie Fever food truck to get a hot dog.
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:14.639
At some point while I was there, my phone was taken from the counter.
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:18.239
My boyfriend actually witnessed one of the workers swipe it from the counter.
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:21.280
Oh, I'd be everyone out of the truck right fucking.
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:21.840
Right?
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:22.159
Right now.
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:23.360
Everyone stop what you're doing.
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:28.320
We'll literally kill everybody within 20 yards.
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:28.960
Yep.
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:30.800
Give me the phone back now.
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:36.800
Uh so when he asked for my phone back, the workers immediately started yelling at him and threatened to call the police on them.
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:37.840
Okay, call them.
00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:39.599
Claiming he was harassing them.
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.559
Anyway, the whole thing goes on to say that like they had the location of the phone.
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:45.039
Of course.
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:46.159
Life 360.
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:46.320
Yeah.
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:47.440
Thankfully it was on there.
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:47.920
Yeah.
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:49.920
Um, my phone stayed charged.
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:54.320
The next morning I went back downtown, spent two hours walking the entire block.
00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:55.360
Looking for the truck.
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:59.119
Just no, she said just to make sure that I wasn't I had covered all my bases.
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:01.519
I looked everywhere to make sure it hadn't something, blah, blah.
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:05.280
Once we confirmed the location was still showing at the food truck, we went back.
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:07.599
So, like, this idiot swipes the phone.
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:09.119
The location fully on.
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:13.920
Hides it in the food truck, doesn't turn the phone off, doesn't do anything you should do if you're gonna steal a phone.
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:14.559
Not at all.
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:15.360
Obviously.
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:18.960
Um they ended up contacting contacting Metro.
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:21.119
I showed the officer location history.
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:32.159
They went through all the uh all the hoops and said after about an hour of Metro dealing with the situation, the worker continued insisting that he didn't have a key to get in the truck.
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:34.320
So, like the truck's not open at this point.
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:41.599
The end of this story is that the cops made him open it up and it was under a floorboard in the food truck, and she got it back.
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:43.360
And did these people get arrested?
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:44.880
Or is it how okay?
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:45.199
Yeah.
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:48.960
Cause that's like was just larger I don't know, larceny, stolen property?
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:50.320
No, for sure it's theft.
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:50.800
Yeah, for sure.
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.320
It could be theft of over a thousand dollars if it was an iPhone, too.
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:54.880
True.
00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:56.960
I hope they threw the book at him.
00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:57.519
She does.
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:06.800
She goes on to say, while uh the officers were dealing with everything, I saw the condition of the inside of the truck, and it was extremely concerning from a cleanliness and sanitation standpoint.
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:08.400
Well, it's a hot on, huh?
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:10.079
Yeah, that's kind of fucking gross.
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:10.480
Yeah.
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:20.320
Also, how stupid do you have to be to s like in this day and age, maybe back in like 2000 when 2009, when like they were not prevalent.
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:22.320
Yeah, life 360, find my phone.
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:23.039
No chance.
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.639
You could have just called it while they were standing there and have it ring in your pocket.
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:33.679
Unless you're somebody who like uh professionally swipes things and can reset them to factory within 30 seconds.
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:35.039
Why are you trying to steal a phone?
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:36.639
No, they're just gonna.
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.239
Also, I'm not saying that it's okay to steal things if you're good at it.
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:45.679
If you know how to do talk about stealing things, that fucking PAP's PBR truck.
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:47.920
Dude, you oh yeah, you sent me the article.
00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:52.400
Someone stole a whole shipment of like peep.
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:53.599
Can you find it?
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:55.599
Yeah, I actually I'm glad you mentioned that because I had.
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:04.480
They gave them like a clock 14 days, 22 hours, blah, blah, blah.
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:05.519
Bring the truck back.
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:06.079
Here it is.
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:07.280
No questions asked.
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:08.320
Yeah, read it.
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:10.159
All right, so this is from Associated Press.
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:15.519
Uh I never get tired of that.
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:16.960
Well, beep do you do that?
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:17.360
Yeah, yeah.
00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:23.440
The their little headline here is this is no pint-sized matter.
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:30.480
Thieves steal$70,000 worth of PAPS blue ribbon beer from a California California warehouse.
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:36.960
Thieves made off with tens of thousands of cans of PAPS in two separate heights from so Southern California.
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:40.159
And they don't know where the trucks are, don't know who did it.
00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:46.639
And yeah, it says PBR has turned the thefts into a lighthearted social media promotion.
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:53.360
Police in Montaclair said Friday that the investigators are trying to determine whether they were part of a single blah blah blah.
00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:54.880
Trying to see where it says.
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:58.559
Because I know in the one you sent me, it says like they had given him a countdown.
00:38:58.800 --> 00:38:59.039
Yeah.
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:01.440
Like you have until I think I sent it Instagram.
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:02.960
Instagram, yes.
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:04.239
Hang on, I'll get to it.
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:08.800
It was like um no questions asked, just return the two trucks.
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.079
And that was like, if they don't return it, this will be the greatest heist since fucking something.
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:17.519
I did see a meme after you had sent me that, a couple things popped up.
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:17.920
Of course.
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:28.159
And it was a meme of uh Vin Diesel hanging like Dom Dom Toretto next to the scene from the movie, but it's got PBR on the truck instead of the one that they robbed.
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:29.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.400
I always thought that was so cool, and then I like actually learned how to drive.
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:34.559
I was like, cars can't fit under a semi.
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:35.280
Yeah.
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:35.920
Okay.
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:40.000
Um Dang it, where is the thing?
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:41.119
Oh, okay.
00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:48.079
Paps Lou Ruben said to the thief, we don't fault you for wanting to brag to your friends how much PBR you have.
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:50.880
We just wish you obtained it the honorable way.
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:52.800
Oh, sorry, I'm losing my voice.
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:55.599
Paps is officially starting the clock now.
00:39:55.760 --> 00:40:01.760
You have exactly 18 days and 44 minutes to return our truckload of beer, no questions asked.
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:06.400
Leading up to that time, we will be offering a reward to anyone who can help us solve this mystery.
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:07.039
P.S.
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:09.679
This is real and we are deadly serious.
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:13.199
And 1844 has something to do.
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:15.760
I think that's the year that PAPS was founded.
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:18.320
That's why they said 18 days and 44 minutes.
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:18.960
There's a reason for that.
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:19.679
Oh, okay.
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:21.199
I read that somewhere else, too.
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:21.599
Yeah.
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:22.960
That's crazy.
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:24.079
Love a good PBR.
00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:25.840
40,000 pounds of beer.
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:27.840
Do you think it was kegs, bottles, cans?
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:28.239
Cans.
00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:29.599
Cans?
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:31.280
Where are you gonna put on?
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:34.000
Truckloads of packs of cans.
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:38.079
40,000 pounds$70,000 value.
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:44.400
Somebody in the comment at on the 40,000 pounds thing said, We have already decided measurements of beer.
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:46.079
Why are we using pounds now?
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:46.960
Yeah.
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:48.320
Give us the number of cans.
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:49.840
How many cans?
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:50.559
Yeah.
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:52.159
Crazy, dude.
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:53.679
How to pull that off, man?
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:55.840
Yeah, dude.
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:58.480
To pull it off is crazy and to have nothing.
00:40:58.639 --> 00:40:59.199
No witness.
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:00.400
No trace, nothing.
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:01.440
It's gotta be an inside job.
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:04.719
Yeah, it gives me Sopranos vibes when they used to just steal the trucks.
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:07.679
I hope, I hope that somebody I want to know more.
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:08.079
Yeah.
00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:09.199
They're not gonna return it.
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:09.920
Hell no.
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:11.360
They probably sold that already.
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:11.679
Yeah.
00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:13.360
Sold it for triple.
00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:17.280
Just think of like they say return it, no questions asked in your front.
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:18.719
Like so that's never how that goes.
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:21.440
Like they've got that set up to where Yeah, I guess.
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:23.519
They could though.
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:24.639
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:30.000
If they don't want to press charges, if these people come clean and they don't want to press charges, you can't press charges if they don't want to press charges.
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:31.679
Yeah, you're right.
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:33.199
Give it back the full amount.
00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:35.760
And then PBR decides not to press charges.
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:37.039
I guess that could be a thing.
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:39.119
I'm interested to see how this unfolds.
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:39.519
Yeah.
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:43.360
Or if it's like a promo, like a what if the whole thing was a promo?
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:44.079
Yeah, promo.
00:41:44.239 --> 00:41:45.360
I would be upset about that.
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.760
I'm too invested now to be like, oh ha ha ha.
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:48.880
Yeah, no, it's not funny anymore.
00:41:49.039 --> 00:41:49.679
Screw you guys.
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:51.119
Never drink a PBR again.
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:52.079
Yeah, literally.
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:57.280
The uh dude, Melrose downtown, Pool Hall used to do uh two dollar PBRs.
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:02.400
Well, I think they still do something like that, but it's like um Miller High Life now.
00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:03.920
Yeah, yeah.
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:06.639
Well, that's about all I had.
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:07.119
That's it.
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:07.679
Yep.
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:08.960
Uh good place to wrap it up.
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:11.280
About to go play play a little game on Patreon.
00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:13.199
Hey, you're gonna have to wait till uh game day.
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:14.960
You have to wait till Friday, ladies and gentlemen.
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:18.639
We are playing our yearly outing of ransom notes.
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:20.639
Is this gonna be the tiebreaker?
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:22.880
I think you like of ransom notes?
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:24.000
Yeah, all-time ransom notes.
00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:25.519
I've heard the first time you got so mad.
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:26.400
I got pissed.
00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:27.679
You ought to burn that one.
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:29.760
I wasn't in a great state of mind then.
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.119
I think I won the first one and then you won the second.
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:34.400
So yeah, this will be a tiebreaker.
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:34.800
Okay.
00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:38.159
Spoiler alert for anybody who hasn't listened to the other one.
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:39.280
This is still a good time.
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:40.880
