1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting in with with Cake Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Tesla opening up its first diner in Hollywood, Guys.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you, I don't know, build cars, it

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: makes sense that you open a restaurant.

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Alon, he probably should just go back to

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: what he does best, and that's making cars. But he's

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: not selling too many at the moment. After his relationship

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. It's sort of going down hill. I mean,

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: it's not like he's struggling for calling mask, but they're

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: struggling to sell cars, haven't they. It's dropped dramatically.

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you've got he's got his flamethrower business

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: as well, so if the burgers don't take off, the

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: cars aren't working, you can still buy one of Elon's

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: flame throwers, which he's.

15
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: Also got the Boring Company as well. I think Tom, Tom,

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: you're the CEO of the bar very boring.

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: Yn't where he's diggling, sorry, digging a tunnel. He's not boring.

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's diggling underneath La quite off, diggling

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: in your pocket?

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: Stop? Is that digging and tickling at the same time.

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: It's a brand new sport. Time good on you, Tom,

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do with yourself, do it in

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: your own private time. So this is to take on

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: McDonald's and Wendy's. I had no idea about this. So

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: he describes this diner as a retro futuristic diner. So

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: it's got to drive in experience as well. Fits. Look,

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: I can see two hundred and fifty people.

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Yes, drive your car into it. Is that right?

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Your car in? Yeah, there's a driving element to it. Well.

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: They have Tesla based meals so you can get whereas it.

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: He wasn't over the truck to field. They have a

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: cyber truck Happy Meal so you can audio meal while

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: watching one of their TV's as well, so you can

34
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: settle in for a movie, which is good too. They've

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: got a supercharge station, right, so if you need charge

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: your car, grab yourself a cyber truck Happy Mail at

37
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,320

38
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: don't understand why he would go from I mean, you're right, fits.

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: The relationship with Trump has meant the share price of

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: Tesla has dropped. Why wouldn't you just focus on your

41
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: cars or your BFR that's his big in rocket.

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: I agree, I mean, you know what as we get

00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,440

00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,000

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: the things that you're very good at?

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: How involved is he? Like? Is he ringing through on

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: the opening day to go? How many burgers did we sell? Seriously?

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: How many cinnamon rolls?

49
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: Or imagine if you're a mate from high school and

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: you're just like a el on Friday night, we're bored

51
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: at home with the family, can you just book us

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: a table and at the restaurant plays dude, I'm flat

53
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: knackers at the moment, I'm trying to distance myself from Trump,

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: you know, and you want.

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Can I tell you the story about Lego quickly, on

56
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: the topic of trying to do too many things? Lego,

57
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to shoot some dates here, and I could

58
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: get it wrong. Lego went around nineteen ninety six, could

59
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: have been closer to two thousand. Was losing a million pounds?

60
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: Oh sorry a million euro a day?

61
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: Wow?

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: Like it was? And they're excuse me, they're Swedish family

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: out there. Tell me, oh sorry, Stockholm?

64
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah it was. Yeah, they were nearly bankrupt.

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: They nearly bankrupt, and then there was a young guy

66
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: who was about thirty two years old, who said he

67
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: came in and said, can I tell you what's going

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: wrong with your business? And I've got some suggestions about

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: how you can pick it up again? And he ended

70
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: up they were so impressed with him. He ended up

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: as a CEO. And I think he was the first

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: see outside of someone directly related to the Lego family

73
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: because they're still it's still a privately owned company and

74
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: the Lego family are the wealthiest people in Sweden.

75
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: Was his suggestion, you need to build it up again.

76
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: Brick By, No.

77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't. But do you know what they did. They

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: opened restaurants, they opened fun parks, they started a fashion line,

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: and then they went, let's going no no, no, no, no, guys,

80
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: cut all of that out and go back to what

81
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: people love. So they did the simple thing that Lego

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: was meant to be. And they went back and said

83
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: to the kids, what do you want to build? What

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: do you want to build? And then they went and

85
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: aligned with some of the most popular franchises for kids,

86
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: like Star Wars, and they went right, We're gonna build

87
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: Lego versions of the things you love. Bang. Lego was

88
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: off and running.

89
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: You want the Millennium foucom Yep, you've got it now.

90
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: It makes five billion dollars a second. All right, Maybe

91
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: I don't know that last all right, Maybe I don't

92
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: know the last statistic. I don't know how much money

93
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: it makes today. But that was the turnaround, and I'm

94
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: worried that Elon's going to look back and go, shouldn't

95
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: have done the burger do it? Should not have done burgers? Now?

96
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: Don't know if I needed the flame throwers. Did they

97
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: cook for burgers with the flame throwers?

98
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear a little bit of audio

99
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: from the bloggers who went there on the weekend.

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: What they thought of the burgers? Well?

101
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: What I thought of that experience?

102
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to charge my tesla, But there's another way.

103
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: It's another lion. So when you pulled into charge, were

104
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: you able to order or did you make it?

105
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: They make it come here? No, I just sparked my

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: cow over there and just stand in the line waiting.

107
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: I ordered the three popular items. One is a smashburger

108
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: was expensive price as fourteen dollars, and then the hot dog.

109
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: It comes with a bigger cyber truck box.

110
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: I watched them build this place and I was curious.

111
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm against Tesla because of the Elon musk, but I

112
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: just got my adapter for my Ionic. I'll only use

113
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: Tesla when I have to. You don't care about the

114
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: restaurant at all, or I would have been there. But

115
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: the line looks like two hours long, so I'm not

116
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: going to be there. I'll tell you right now a
