Speaker 1: To the show that's more uncomfortable than Kanye West at
Speaker 1: a bar mitzvah.
Speaker 2: Every human being has something of value that they brought
Speaker 2: to the table.
Speaker 3: Especially him. It's Rover's Morning Glory. Shizzy coming up in
Speaker 3: a few minutes. What do you have on the way, Doozy?
Speaker 4: Remember the story about the man in the Chucky mask?
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's running, chasing after women and stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Saying, are you ready to die today?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got an update to that story.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll get to that in just a moment.
Speaker 7: Charlie, lots of people agreed that your chopped unk comment
Speaker 7: when they were calling you a chopped unk. Todd says
Speaker 7: it's a person that's old and unattractive. And Taylor says-
Speaker 7: Urban Dictionary says the fugliest, nastiest, most disgusting of them all.
Speaker 6: But they can't see them, right?
Speaker 3: What do you mean? No, up to the hot dog thing.
Speaker 6: Oh, and they're watching you live.
Speaker 3: They're watching these guys selling hot dogs all day.
Speaker 1: People just sit there and watch a guy sell hot
Speaker 1: dogs at his- at his little hot dog stand.
Speaker 3: You could do this to your donut truck. People will
Speaker 3: watch it.
Speaker 4: Why would somebody watch me making donuts?
Speaker 3: There's a lot of streams like that.
Speaker 7: Because you could see the chopped onks that show up
Speaker 7: getting a whole thing of donuts.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Those are great.
Speaker 3: You can make fun of them. I love watching those.
Speaker 8: They pay you for that? What do I benefit out
Speaker 8: of it? Well, enough people will watch it and go, oh,
Speaker 8: I want to go to the donut truck. Yeah, I
Speaker 8: don't understand how this is a hard concept. If people
Speaker 8: are watching you, then one day they see your truck,
Speaker 8: I have to go, oh, that's that person I watch
Speaker 8: on TikTok. I should actually go to the donut truck.
Speaker 9: And they can pay you on the live. They can
Speaker 9: send you roses or whatever, and they're worth so much money.
Speaker 3: There you go, dude.
Speaker 7: You can just sit there and chit-chat with them all
Speaker 7: the time while you're making your donuts.
Speaker 6: So when I was... So Rose is when they pay
Speaker 6: you when I was watching.
Speaker 4: I couldn't sleep last night and I stumbled upon the
Speaker 4: live stream on TikTok, which I had never seen before.
Speaker 1: You're acting like Jeffrey in the main timeline. Like you
Speaker 1: stumbled on the live stream on TikTok. There's like a
Speaker 1: million live streams.
Speaker 4: I don't watch it. I've never, for me, stumbling across it.
Speaker 4: I've never seen it before.
Speaker 6: I would never.
Speaker 7: It's like it's a singular thing, too. I don't watch it.
Speaker 7: Like it's a channel almost.
Speaker 6: All right. Got it. I don't watch them.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: When I did watch some of them, they kept saying, oh,
Speaker 4: thank you for the roses. Thank you for the roses.
Speaker 4: So that's donations?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Actually, I do watch a couple different food truck or vendors,
Speaker 9: and they'll just be making coffees.
Speaker 3: And that's what she does. She makes coffees.
Speaker 9: And I'm just watching her make, most of the time,
Speaker 9: they're not even really talking.
Speaker 3: To the chat. Yeah, the hot dog guy wasn't really
Speaker 3: talking to the chat.
Speaker 6: They're doing their job.
Speaker 9: And then every so often, they look over and reply
Speaker 9: to comments and stuff.
Speaker 3: But people can, yeah, send money pretty much through there.
Speaker 6: Is there a food truck? Did you find we were
Speaker 6: going to show Rover some lives? Because Rover says he's
Speaker 6: got a bunch of stuff he wants to sell. We
Speaker 6: think that he could do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to sell.
Speaker 7: And all the comments about me are going to be
Speaker 7: that I'm a zaddy and I have Riz.
Speaker 6: Zitz and what's Riz? Wait, pull something up.
Speaker 1: All right, well, do you want me to show you
Speaker 1: these whatnot things? This is what you should do, Rover.
Speaker 1: He's selling electronics.
Speaker 3: At $ 31, no way.
Speaker 10: At $ 31.
Speaker 3: Holy. What does he have, a drone or something?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like this guy just sells Chinese kind
Speaker 1: of crap. I've been watching it from the commercial break.
Speaker 1: None of it's name brand of any kind you've ever
Speaker 1: heard of. Does he have multiples?
Speaker 3: Multiple what?
Speaker 11: Of these things, is that one single thing? No, each
Speaker 11: item is a different thing.
Speaker 1: So he's selling a drone right now before he's selling
Speaker 1: a security camera system.
Speaker 3: That's this guy.
Speaker 7: Seems like a lot of work to sell all this
Speaker 7: stuff in the basement.
Speaker 3: This guy's selling shoes. Four, three, two guys, better than Tasman.
Speaker 6: This is what I was watching. Better than Tasman for $ 15, go.
Speaker 3: Better than Tasman for.
Speaker 2: $ 15, go.
Speaker 5: Go.
Speaker 3: Go. Three seconds, two seconds. Main size 908, women's is 11.
Speaker 6: Three seconds, two seconds. Guys, catch it, catch it, catch it,
Speaker 6: catch it.
Speaker 12: Ten seconds, one more go.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like it's auction time at 8 a.m.,
Speaker 1: so we're probably not seeing the best.
Speaker 3: Time does not have back swipe.
Speaker 6: Time does not.
Speaker 3: Have back swipe.
Speaker 6: Three seconds, three seconds. Or is this one auction item?
Speaker 3: And then this guy's selling crystals. Oh, Doogee needs crystals. Yeah,
Speaker 3: here you go, Doogee. Oh, cool. There's a bat in
Speaker 3: my damn house. You need to give it out before
Speaker 3: we fire him. This is insanity.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 3: Who would buy this crap? This guy's selling video games.
Speaker 3: And watching anime. That's what he does. 8 a.m. What's
Speaker 3: this guy?
Speaker 1: This guy's in a storage unit. He just goes through
Speaker 1: the storage unit. He's got, he found some coins.
Speaker 3: 82 Brazil.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a million QVCs now.
Speaker 3: 19. And you're home. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then- How many people, can you see how
Speaker 1: many people are watching this right now? Well, this is
Speaker 1: pretty low, but it's also 8 AM. I feel like
Speaker 1: this is something somebody does at 7 o'clock at night.
Speaker 1: So this guy is 696 people watching himself choose.
Speaker 6: Is there, will you look for a food truck one?
Speaker 6: See what they do?
Speaker 3: Well, that would be on TikTok. On TikTok. That wouldn't,
Speaker 3: Whatnot's just an auction.
Speaker 6: No, you're not on TikTok. That was Whatnot. That was
Speaker 6: the other one that you said.
Speaker 9: And the thing about TikTok, the auctions to me is
Speaker 9: they are very fast. It is like 10 seconds that
Speaker 9: you get to throw in your bid as fast as
Speaker 9: you can.
Speaker 8: And gone.
Speaker 9: Which makes that pressure is on. So you're- you're automatically
Speaker 9: doing almost these impulse buys. I've been very tempted a
Speaker 9: few times or made a bid.
Speaker 3: Have you done it? I've definitely bid on things. Some collectors.
Speaker 3: Did you win anything?
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 9: And then I'm like, thank God I didn't because I
Speaker 9: don't need to spend my money on this stuff.
Speaker 3: Krista bought something at an auction once on one of these.
Speaker 3: Your girlfriend?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it was just, it was a Taking Back Sunday record.
Speaker 1: But she ended up getting the first pressing of it,
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 3: Was like, why did she do that? She's like, I
Speaker 3: don't know. It was fun. The auction was happening, and
Speaker 3: she started bidding.
Speaker 1: And I was like, you don't care about first pressings
Speaker 1: of something. It doesn't matter, because we're just going to
Speaker 1: listen to it. So it's not like you're using it.
Speaker 3: Can you even.
Speaker 7: Listen to the first pressing, or do you not want
Speaker 7: to mess with it?
Speaker 3: It's the first pressing.
Speaker 1: We still did, but it's just like- You start watching
Speaker 1: and it's happening fast.
Speaker 3: And you're like, I should get that. That would be cool.
Speaker 3: And then right afterwards, you're like, I shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 1: Why did I spend $ 40 on a $ 25 record?
Speaker 7: And how much does the ship like a record to
Speaker 7: make sure it doesn't break?
Speaker 3: What does she have to pay to ship? I don't remember.
Speaker 3: No idea. Media mail. Doozy, are you ready for the shizzy?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've heard about these floods and
Speaker 4: villages destroyed in Nepal and Tibet and the border right there.
Speaker 4: But three Americans are among hundreds of people missing after
Speaker 4: torrential floods swept through that area. And it destroyed roads
Speaker 4: and bridges and power projects. At least eight people have
Speaker 4: been killed in the floods. They expect that number to
Speaker 4: go up. They're bracing for more casualties and worse damage
Speaker 4: from the waters, which destroyed pretty much everything in its path. Now,
Speaker 4: we've talked about when these kinds of tragedies happen, places
Speaker 4: like that, when they have villages, the structures are not
Speaker 4: obviously sound and everything is a little bit easier to destroy.
Speaker 4: So those numbers they expect to go up and more devastation.
Speaker 4: A man accused of terrorizing a number of pedestrians in
Speaker 4: Philadelphia while decked out in a Chucky-style mask has been
Speaker 4: arrested in Las Vegas.
Speaker 12: U.S.
Speaker 4: Marshals Service officials confirmed that Zemire Hughes was arrested by
Speaker 4: members of the Violent Offender Task Force yesterday. Philadelphia District
Speaker 4: Attorney said that last week Hughes was wanted on felony
Speaker 4: and misdemeanor assault charges after he allegedly chased the jogger.
Speaker 4: in Center City asking her, do you want to die
Speaker 4: and cause injuries as she fled? He was now awaits extradition.
Speaker 4: I thought we already reported that he was arrested.
Speaker 11: I had a mugshot and everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we already did this.
Speaker 12: Crap.
Speaker 6: It said yesterday.
Speaker 1: What was the date on it though?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're getting old news.
Speaker 4: No, this just came through this just now.
Speaker 3: From what? Yeah, here's the picture I had before. Yeah,
Speaker 3: was this last week? Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6: With the face mask on.
Speaker 3: Let me see this.
Speaker 5: It's.
Speaker 6: I cut it. It says it just came through. It's
Speaker 6: from iHeart Prep News.
Speaker 3: It's terrible.
Speaker 6: It just said yesterday. I mean, it just came down
Speaker 6: for the 8 a.m.
Speaker 2: News.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had this Friday.
Speaker 6: Did we talk about it?
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 3: Obviously, I put it up. Yeah, we did the story.
Speaker 4: Oh, I do so much that I don't remember what
Speaker 4: I do because I'm a very good news person.
Speaker 6: All right, you can throw that. Do you want me
Speaker 6: to throw that away?
Speaker 3: Who pays for this?
Speaker 6: iHeart gives this to me. This is what they tell
Speaker 6: me to do.
Speaker 3: Okay, now hold on. I believe what may have happened.
Speaker 3: Let me read it. Is it a copycat? No, no,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to see here. No, I guess.
Speaker 7: They arrested him in Vegas. Yeah, we already covered this,
Speaker 7: I believe. Of course, yesterday.
Speaker 1: The last week that Hughes was on felony.
Speaker 7: Maybe we had that he was wanted. I guess he
Speaker 7: left Philly, packed up his stuff, went.
Speaker 3: Out to Vegas. He was arrested, but they named him. Okay,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 6: Maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 3: Captured. They got him. They got Chucky, okay.
Speaker 4: Ghislaine Maxwell's bid to throw her sex trafficking conviction is
Speaker 4: being tossed by a New York federal judge. It was
Speaker 4: a long shot petition that would have allowed her in
Speaker 4: a new trial, but Maxwell- who of course is an
Speaker 4: associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, represented herself
Speaker 4: in the ask that challenged her detention. The judge noted
Speaker 4: that Max did not use her attorney to file what
Speaker 4: he called the lengthy and rambling petition that failed to
Speaker 4: open new avenues for her defense. Indiana Governor Mike Braun
Speaker 4: is calling for an investigation into Northern Indiana Public Service
Speaker 4: Company after severe storms left many customers without electricity for
Speaker 4: nearly two weeks. Braun wants regulators to examine whether the
Speaker 4: utility property cleared trees and vegetation around power lines and
Speaker 4: whether state money meant for stronger infrastructure was used as promised.
Speaker 4: About 375,000 customers lost power after storms started back August 11th.
Speaker 4: Although fewer than 2,000 outages remained in Gary yesterday. So
Speaker 4: they said the power company said they'll cooperate with any
Speaker 4: investigation and defended the work of crews trying to restore
Speaker 4: service after the historic storms. Can you imagine still being
Speaker 4: out of power in Gary, Indiana?
Speaker 7: Yeah, my mother does not live in Gary, Indiana, but
Speaker 7: she lives in Indiana. And her power was out for
Speaker 7: a while, but they got it back on. Now she's
Speaker 7: trying to. Search for a generator, I think. Wants to
Speaker 7: get a whole house generator. Last time she got a quote,
Speaker 7: it was too expensive. They wanted to charge for the install.
Speaker 3: I told her, I go, that's too much. It's more
Speaker 3: than I paid.
Speaker 7: You got to shop around. It is handy to have.
Speaker 7: Charlie has his generator set up now. You have to
Speaker 7: go out there and flip things over.
Speaker 3: I got to move it out of the garage, yeah.
Speaker 13: Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4: Ryan Gosling might be going from playing Ken in Barbie
Speaker 4: to playing Bam Bam from the Flintstones. Ryan is apparently
Speaker 4: producing a live-action movie about a grown-up Bam Bam. For
Speaker 4: the record, no word yet that he's even considering starring
Speaker 4: in it. Bam Bam is, of course, the son of
Speaker 4: Barney and Betty Rubble, best friends of Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
Speaker 3: Can I just ask, who would be interested in seeing this?
Speaker 4: Well, there was an animated series in the early 70s
Speaker 4: about a teenage Bam Bam and his girlfriend Pebbles. the
Speaker 4: daughter of Fred and Wilma. They even had a band,
Speaker 4: and it was called the Pebbles and.
Speaker 6: Bam Bam Show. Do you remember it?
Speaker 3: It was 1971 to 72. I vaguely remember that, yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they were called the Bedrock Rockers at the time. He
Speaker 3: remembers it.
Speaker 2: There's one person who- You gotta remember, here's the thing.
Speaker 2: Bam Bam, Marty and Betty adopted Bam Bam. They're in
Speaker 2: a storyline between- Barney and Betty, for some reason, Betty
Speaker 2: couldn't conceive, they couldn't have kids, so they adopted Bam Bam.
Speaker 2: And eventually as they grew up, yeah.
Speaker 6: They talk about that on the show?
Speaker 2: No, that's just what I've read.
Speaker 3: Does Fred Flintstone have a kid? Yeah, Fred and Wilma
Speaker 3: had Pebbles. They did a storyline with Wilma actually being pregnant.
Speaker 3: They animated Wilma actually being pregnant with Pebbles. Wow.
Speaker 7: So in the cartoon, did they say that Bam Bam
Speaker 7: was adopted?
Speaker 2: You can probably read, an educated kid would know that
Speaker 2: they did it in a storyline where they adopted Bam Bam.
Speaker 6: They did? Now you're rambling. Do you know or not?
Speaker 2: I believe so because I watched the Flintstones. I watched
Speaker 2: the Flintstones when I was a kid.
Speaker 6: Now I gotta look it up.
Speaker 3: Yes, he was adopted.
Speaker 6: They did the storyline?
Speaker 3: I don't know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it says in the original animated series, Barney and
Speaker 1: Betty find baby Bam Bam left on their doorstep. They
Speaker 1: legally adopt him after overcoming an adoption agency dispute.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 9: I liked the one movie when they did that live
Speaker 9: action of the Flintstones.
Speaker 3: With Rosie?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I never saw that. I'm surprised that anybody saw that.
Speaker 2: Betty and Rick Rance played Barney and John Goodman played Fred.
Speaker 3: And I believe Elizabeth, I can't remember her last name,
Speaker 3: played Wilma.
Speaker 6: The girl from Big. The girlfriend from Big. Elizabeth- Smiths,
Speaker 6: you would know. I hated the Flintstones when I was young,
Speaker 6: so I never watched it. I hated the Jetsons.
Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
Speaker 2: That was funny because Rosie was one of my favorite characters.
Speaker 3: She was sassy, though. She had a personality. Those are
Speaker 3: my favorites. Oh, my God. That's so good.

Speaker 3: Bedrock. Jeffrey LaRock would fit in well there, wouldn't you?
Speaker 3: Not really.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Michael in Michigan. You're on Rover's Morning Glory. Good morning, Michael.
Speaker 14: Hey, how are you doing?
Speaker 15: Hey.
Speaker 3: Hey, talking about.
Speaker 13: I'm sorry, I just jumped on late, so I didn't
Speaker 13: know where you guys were in the conversation, but going
Speaker 13: back to live feeds on YouTube or whatnot... Have you
Speaker 13: seen the new one where it's these girls, they'll just
Speaker 13: sit in a chair and write stuff on their face
Speaker 13: with their Sharpie marker and hold up signs that say,
Speaker 13: I won't talk until I get like 20,000 likes or whatever.
Speaker 13: Have you seen that one?
Speaker 7: I have not seen this. I didn't know this was
Speaker 7: a thing. Why would anybody just don't like it?
Speaker 3: There's another one.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 13: There's another one out of India where this lady, she
Speaker 13: just lays in bed. I don't know if it's a
Speaker 13: real child or not, but the thing is, it looks
Speaker 13: like ET.
Speaker 3: And is the.
Speaker 13: World going to get to a point where the simps
Speaker 13: have had enough and said, okay, go get real job, girls.
Speaker 13: We're sick of watching you lift weights and just throw
Speaker 13: money at you.
Speaker 3: The who?
Speaker 7: I don't know what any of this means exactly.
Speaker 3: The simps. Oh, okay. The simps, yeah. I do want
Speaker 3: to see this person at HOPT.
Speaker 13: Did you know the Flintstones take place in the future
Speaker 13: after nuclear war and Fred's job is to dig up
Speaker 13: artifacts at his quarry?
Speaker 9: And that the Jetsons are actually on the same planet.
Speaker 9: They're just in these tall high-rises.
Speaker 3: That's the conspiracy.
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, I got to go.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay. Sorry. Don't let us hold you up. Sorry
Speaker 3: for bothering you. I did not know there.
Speaker 7: Was a conspiracy about that.
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what they say. And the Jets just live
Speaker 9: really high up. And the people down below are like
Speaker 9: kind of the poorer people.
Speaker 7: All right. Never considered that. I've got to take a
Speaker 7: quick break. Our number is 866-YO-ROVER, 866-967-6837. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: Hang on.
Speaker 1: The one constant in your life is Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 16: Martin wants me to tell Crystal that the Jetsons and
Speaker 16: the Flintstones, not the same planet, not the same time, whatever.
Speaker 7: Maybe the same planet, but different times. Because he says
Speaker 7: there is a TV movie, Jetsons Meet the Flintstones, where
Speaker 7: Elroy Jetson builds a time machine for a school science
Speaker 7: project that accidentally sends his.
Speaker 3: Family back to the Stone Age. Jeffrey should have known that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I knew that, I knew about that. Why didn't you
Speaker 3: say that?
Speaker 2: Now there are other Height of Barbaria cartoons that center
Speaker 2: around the family. There's one called Wait Till Your Father
Speaker 2: Gets Home, which is made in the late 60s, early 70s.
Speaker 3: And then there was one called.
Speaker 2: The Roman Holidays, Think of it as the Flintstones and
Speaker 2: the Jetsons, but.
Speaker 3: Set in Roman times.
Speaker 12: Whoa.
Speaker 7: I remember that one, and that was not that good,
Speaker 7: I don't think. I think I remember that one vaguely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gus Holiday, the main character, was an architect, and
Speaker 2: he has to put up with his.
Speaker 3: Landlord, Mr.
Speaker 2: Evictus, so they all had Greek-sounding names and whatnot. But
Speaker 2: that was kind of funny in my opinion.
Speaker 3: Greek-sounding name or Roman-sounding name?
Speaker 2: Roman-sounding name, however the hell you want to put it.
Speaker 3: Okay. Either way, chariots were the main means of transportation.
Speaker 5: Um....
Speaker 7: Somebody says, speaking of TikTok, I just came across a
Speaker 7: video where a person referred to a serial killer as
Speaker 7: a serial unaliver because they didn't want to say killer.
Speaker 3: That made me laugh, the person says.
Speaker 7: Well, we were just talking about Doozy has discovered TikTok
Speaker 7: Live and she's watching all these auctions and people selling
Speaker 7: junk and just these ridiculous, stupid streams. There is something
Speaker 7: on TikTok that I saw. Here is a woman who
Speaker 7: who is a waitress who wants to point something out
Speaker 7: to you.
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, let me ask you this question.
Speaker 7: Have you ever dined at a restaurant, Charlie, where you
Speaker 7: get the bill and you see gratuity is included? They
Speaker 7: add like an 18% or 20% gratuity in there?
Speaker 3: Yeah. Have you seen this? Okay.
Speaker 7: So you pay that, they just automatically add that in.
Speaker 3: Well, this woman wants to point something out here.
Speaker 1: So you're saying do you tip on top of that?
Speaker 3: Well, of course not. I don't. Do you? Well, it
Speaker 3: all depends. If they come out and tell me, hey,
Speaker 3: gratuities included, then I go, okay, cool. Then I'll throw
Speaker 3: a dollar. An extra few percent in there. I do
Speaker 3: too sometimes. Oh, you just said you didn't. Well- You
Speaker 3: just said you didn't. No, no, I do. I just want.
Speaker 2: To say that a lot of restaurant receipts would say 18%
Speaker 2: gratuity is added on to the bill of parties of
Speaker 2: six or more.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Six people.
Speaker 7: I get that, but I've- No, some restaurants just add
Speaker 7: it all the time. No, it depends what the percentage is.
Speaker 7: So sometimes they'll say an 18% gratuity is automatically applied,
Speaker 7: and I'll add another 5% or so on top of that.
Speaker 3: No, I had six. I had seven. All right, cool.
Speaker 1: No, but if they don't tell me- And then I'll
Speaker 1: always notice it after I've already written out the tip.
Speaker 1: And then I'll notice and I'll go, wait, they didn't
Speaker 1: tell me that it's already included. Sometimes I'll scratch that
Speaker 1: tip out because I like them being upfront about it.
Speaker 1: If they're upfront, then I'll give some more. And a
Speaker 1: lot of them.
Speaker 7: Don't tell you, especially in places like Miami where they include,
Speaker 7: most of the restaurants in Miami include a tip, a gratuity.
Speaker 7: And a lot of times they don't tell you because-
Speaker 7: They catch American tourists off guard because normally you tip
Speaker 7: on top of your check.
Speaker 3: So they just automatically... So then.
Speaker 7: They're really getting an incredible huge tip. They're getting double tipped. Actually,
Speaker 7: they're getting more than double tipped because you're tipping on
Speaker 7: a price that already.
Speaker 3: Included the tip. And you're like, oh, I owe $ 30
Speaker 3: and it's really.
Speaker 3: You owe 20 or whatever.
Speaker 1: And then so you're like, okay, well, I guess I'll
Speaker 1: give him $ 6.
Speaker 3: And then so now, yeah, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 3: It's just way more.
Speaker 7: So this woman, though, she's saying that's all wrong, Charlie,
Speaker 7: that we're misreading what's going on here.
Speaker 3: Listen to this. Oh, sorry, my bad, restarted. All right,
Speaker 3: here we go. There we go.
Speaker 6: What's up, y'all? Welcome back to another day in the
Speaker 6: life as a waitress.
Speaker 10: I just want to let everybody know that gratuity is
Speaker 10: not a tip. Gratuity is gratuity and a tip is
Speaker 10: a tip.
Speaker 6: Let me explain.
Speaker 10: Gratuity is often split between all the waitresses depending on
Speaker 10: where you work. out of that gratuity the waitress has
Speaker 10: to pay the bartender the person making your drink out
Speaker 10: of that gratuity the bar the server also has to
Speaker 10: pay the bar back who are the people who come
Speaker 10: and help clean up take make sure the table stay
Speaker 10: clean so when i give somebody a receipt and they
Speaker 10: look at me and they say oh gratuity is included
Speaker 10: i say gratuity is included but a tip is not
Speaker 10: gratuity is gratuity and a tip is a tip and
Speaker 10: i If gratuity isn't solely going to the person who's
Speaker 10: serving you and your server is treating you right, making
Speaker 10: sure you have everything, keeping your space clean, being responsive
Speaker 10: and just being a great server, then you should tip
Speaker 10: your server. And if you can't afford to tip, then
Speaker 10: you shouldn't be out, plain and simple.
Speaker 7: All right, now, this is a real bitch move right here.
Speaker 7: Gratuity is a tip, okay? Don't try and confuse people
Speaker 7: by this. This is That's a tip. That's exactly what
Speaker 7: it is. I would not, if they put a 20%
Speaker 7: gratuity on my check, normally I tip about 25%. But
Speaker 7: if they put a 20% tip, what are you laughing at?
Speaker 7: It's getting bigger and bigger. Every time you mention it,
Speaker 7: the number goes up. As Charlie said, he tipped. No, no,
Speaker 7: if I get a regular bill and I tip, usually
Speaker 7: what I'll do is- 30%. It's very easily easy to
Speaker 7: calculate 20%. You can calculate 20% of anything.
Speaker 3: But you don't do that. You take the extra step
Speaker 3: to do it a little harder.
Speaker 7: No, no, I'll round it up generally. So it probably
Speaker 7: comes to about 25%. It's not a hard and fast rule.
Speaker 7: I'm not doing the math on it, but it's about 25%.
Speaker 7: Always over 20%, could be 22%, could be 29%. But
Speaker 7: that's a tip. If it comes with a gratuity included,
Speaker 7: that's a tip as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 3: It's another word for tip. Yeah, it's the same word. Yes,
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 7: What she's claiming is that, well, You have to tip
Speaker 7: on top of the gratuity.
Speaker 3: And if you can't, if you don't do that, you
Speaker 3: shouldn't go out. That's BS. Screw that, screw her.
Speaker 7: And if she made that comment to me, if I
Speaker 7: would say, gratuities included. First of all, she should say that,
Speaker 7: like Charlie said. When she brings the, hey, there's an 18% gratuity.
Speaker 7: I feel like I'm getting scammed when they don't say it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel you're trying to take advantage of me, and
Speaker 1: now I'm not going to give you anything extra. But
Speaker 1: if you come up and you're upfront about it, and
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, there's already 20% on there. I go, okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. Then maybe I'll throw an extra couple bucks.
Speaker 1: Not an extreme amount, I'm just saying. If you get
Speaker 1: the check, she doesn't say anything, and you go, oh,
Speaker 1: gratuity is included. If the waitress had the nerve to
Speaker 1: say to you, Yeah, but that's a gratuity, not a tip.
Speaker 3: What would you do?
Speaker 1: I'd be confused at what she was saying. I'd probably
Speaker 1: ask her, what do you mean? Isn't that the same word?
Speaker 1: And then she would give me the speech and I'd go, huh, okay, noted.
Speaker 1: And then as she walked away, I wouldn't tip anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd leave.
Speaker 7: And then you could never go back there because you're
Speaker 7: gonna spit in your food or whatever, but.
Speaker 3: That's fine.
Speaker 4: We always have to, I mean, whether it's a tip
Speaker 4: or gratuity, For my shifts, I would always have to
Speaker 4: split with the busboy.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: So gratuity, what she's claiming is she's saying, oh, but
Speaker 7: you have to split this.
Speaker 3: But a tip, a quote unquote tip, you'd also do that, correct, Snits?
Speaker 4: Always.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless she's pocketing tips. It sounds like she is.
Speaker 3: It sounds like she's.
Speaker 1: Saying if it's an automatic gratuity, she can't hide that
Speaker 1: from the busboys or anything. So she takes that auto
Speaker 1: thing and then splits it up.
Speaker 3: But her tip money, she just keeps for herself. But
Speaker 3: you're supposed to pool it all together, right?
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 3: I don't know how that works. No, that's not how
Speaker 3: it works.
Speaker 5: No, no, no.
Speaker 3: You give up a percentage of your tips to the-
Speaker 3: Like what percentage?
Speaker 1: Whatever that restaurant- Do you have to go to each
Speaker 1: person working or does it, you go to like a
Speaker 1: general fund?
Speaker 11: It depends on the place. Sometimes there's a manager who
Speaker 11: collects the money and gives it out.
Speaker 3: And then he divvies it out, okay.
Speaker 7: Okay, so now, wait, so let's say you get, just
Speaker 7: for the sake.
Speaker 3: Of argument, a 20% tip.
Speaker 7: You worked at a- a steak place right uh sure
Speaker 7: hmm uh i forget exactly outbacker of the year oh
Speaker 7: outbacker of the year okay um but no maybe i
Speaker 7: thought you worked at where's.
Speaker 3: The other place that you worked uh where else did
Speaker 3: he work.
Speaker 1: He worked at like 50 restaurants a bunch of restaurants
Speaker 1: he was the fine dining.
Speaker 6: One was that me you're thinking about i worked.
Speaker 3: Fine dining Okay, what fine dining restaurant did you work at?
Speaker 3: Was it a chain? Was it a standalone? It was
Speaker 3: a standalone. Okay. Now, let's say you get a 20%
Speaker 3: tip there. Okay. For the sake of argument, let's.
Speaker 7: Say it's $ 50.
Speaker 3: How much do you get to keep out of that
Speaker 3: $ 50 then? Well, it depends on what that restaurant has.
Speaker 6: policy what they deem to.
Speaker 11: Give the yeah the the host the uh bussers the
Speaker 11: bartender you give a little percentage of your tips to.
Speaker 15: Them like 10 15 20 is it half percent five
Speaker 15: percent ten percent it's a lower amount it's not half
Speaker 15: okay okay and everybody does scam restaurants have going on
Speaker 15: really without paying their employees yeah yeah yeah that's a
Speaker 15: that's a total scam and And just raised, I'm all
Speaker 15: for getting rid of tips.
Speaker 3: It would solve a lot of disputes.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, just keep it regular auto gratuity, and I'm
Speaker 1: not expected. And then if I really like you, maybe
Speaker 1: I'll throw some extra in. But if it was just
Speaker 1: auto done at every, not just for tables of six
Speaker 1: or more, just auto done, cool, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3: And not even auto gratuity. You just raise your price.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they don't even put gratuity. If you go to Europe,
Speaker 7: they don't put auto gratuity. It's a price, and you
Speaker 7: are not expected to tip whatsoever, even in a bar.
Speaker 7: You don't tip bartenders, nothing. So I would be totally
Speaker 7: fine with that. B2 and I went out to dinner.
Speaker 7: Maybe about a month ago, and it was very aggravating
Speaker 7: because I don't remember where we went, but they had
Speaker 7: a line. There's two things they do.
Speaker 3: Number one, a while ago, we went to a restaurant.
Speaker 3: I think I told you about this.
Speaker 7: And they put a donation, a quote unquote donation of
Speaker 7: a dollar on the bill. And they claim that that's
Speaker 7: going to some sort of charity or whatever. And I
Speaker 7: guess there's a little placard on the table and it's like,
Speaker 7: unless you tell us not to put this, we're going
Speaker 7: to add a $ 1 donation. That's a scam. I don't
Speaker 7: know where that money is going to. To me, scam,
Speaker 7: don't do that. Restaurants, please. That pisses people off. I
Speaker 7: didn't like that. The other thing that we're having more
Speaker 7: recently was that on the bill, it had a breakdown
Speaker 7: or it had something that a portion of the bill,
Speaker 7: there was a line item that And it said this
Speaker 7: is for employee health care.
Speaker 3: I don't like that.
Speaker 11: Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Gordon Ramsay, the Hell Kitchen in DC,
Speaker 11: it said that.
Speaker 3: The first time I saw that, I go, I don't
Speaker 3: care where all this money's going. How much do you
Speaker 3: pay for electric? Exactly.
Speaker 7: I don't put that on there. What they're trying to
Speaker 7: do is guilt you. And I guess maybe they're trying
Speaker 7: to guilt you. They should feel guilty themselves. Is it
Speaker 7: added health insurance?
Speaker 3: No, it's just broken down. It's just broken down. I'm
Speaker 3: wearing the checks going. It's like, I don't care. I
Speaker 3: don't know how much it's in rent. I don't like that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, who cares? It's a light bill, yeah. But a
Speaker 7: gratuity is, as far as I'm concerned, it's a tip.
Speaker 7: So that chick could kiss my ass, and I don't
Speaker 7: know what she's riled up about. Peter in Vero Beach, Florida.
Speaker 7: You're on Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Peter.
Speaker 12: Hey, good morning, sir. How are you doing today?
Speaker 3: Hey, what's happening?
Speaker 14: Hey, my son and he's.
Speaker 12: A general manager down in Delray at a restaurant. And
Speaker 12: I travel a lot to Europe. Number one, Europeans do
Speaker 12: not tip because they pay their servers very well, more
Speaker 12: than minimum wage. And I believe our restaurant owners are
Speaker 12: have to start paying our people more money. And that's
Speaker 12: the bottom line, because there's times these servers don't deserve 20,
Speaker 12: they only deserve 5%. I go round and round with
Speaker 12: my son-in-law all the time about this. And number two
Speaker 12: is some restaurants are putting a service charge, not a
Speaker 12: service charge, but a restaurant charge that don't even go
Speaker 12: to tips on your bill, and people don't even know it.
Speaker 12: So I don't understand that either. We need to start
Speaker 12: paying our servers more than $ 10 an hour, and we
Speaker 12: can tip as much as we want.
Speaker 7: Well, I say no tips, and I say you just
Speaker 7: increase the price of everything, and I'd be fine paying that.
Speaker 3: And then you can.
Speaker 7: Decide for yourself whether you go, okay, is this place
Speaker 7: too expensive for me or whatever? I don't like the
Speaker 7: way that they are doing this with tips, and it
Speaker 7: just doesn't seem.
Speaker 3: Right to me.
Speaker 12: And you're right about all these extras are putting on
Speaker 12: our bills.
Speaker 5: Terrible.
Speaker 12: We used to go out for breakfast and have a
Speaker 12: great breakfast for 20, 30 bucks. Now it's 50, $ 60
Speaker 12: for a breakfast.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 7: And then speaking of things being put on your bills,
Speaker 7: everybody is doing this now as a way, I guess,
Speaker 7: to be like, Oh, I'm, I just want to get
Speaker 7: more money out of you.
Speaker 3: Here's what I'm doing.
Speaker 7: How many places now charge a fuel surcharge for everything?
Speaker 7: I mean, it's, whether it's deliveries, it's your landscape, or it's,
Speaker 7: what did I just see a fuel surcharge on on
Speaker 7: a billet I got? I go, you got to be
Speaker 7: kidding me. You're charging me a fuel surcharge? Just bake
Speaker 7: that into the price. Don't break it down for me
Speaker 7: line by line. Esty in Youngstown, you're on Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 3: Good morning.
Speaker 5: Hi, we're at work. Good morning, guys. Hi. I do
Speaker 5: agree with that last caller. If you pay these people
Speaker 5: a living wage, then they're not begging for tips, and
Speaker 5: you might get better service all around.
Speaker 3: A lot of people claim the opposite. They go, no, no,
Speaker 3: I buy no, but.
Speaker 7: A lot of people go, well, why would you get
Speaker 7: good service at a restaurant if they didn't have tips?
Speaker 3: Well, because if you're a bad server, they would fire you.
Speaker 3: That's why. It's like any other job.
Speaker 14: I was a manager for a while at a.
Speaker 5: Restaurant, and we did not have We let you decide
Speaker 5: that yourself, and they actually paid us more than the
Speaker 5: minimum tip wage, which is ridiculously low. You can't live
Speaker 5: on that by any means. But if you tip on
Speaker 5: a credit card, there's no way around not splitting that tip.
Speaker 5: And if you're getting tipped in cash.
Speaker 14: Then the server actually can either.
Speaker 3: She should, or.
Speaker 5: He, I should say, they should pull it and split it.
Speaker 5: But when you give them cash, at least then you
Speaker 5: know your server's getting the money and they're not having
Speaker 5: to share it with people that really had no, yeah,
Speaker 5: they made your food, they cleaned up after you, but
Speaker 5: they're getting paid more.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but they're also getting paid, aren't they getting paid
Speaker 7: crap money too?
Speaker 14: No, they're better.
Speaker 5: They don't have to rely on the tips. They're not
Speaker 5: the ones doing the serving.
Speaker 14: The servers are the only.
Speaker 5: Ones getting that lower wage, typically. They're getting at least
Speaker 5: minimum wage, regular minimum wage, not.
Speaker 3: Server minimum wage.
Speaker 7: I've never seen an industry, there's no other industry where
Speaker 7: people are paid this way. It just doesn't exist. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 7: It is ridiculous. All these restaurant owners should band together.
Speaker 7: And stop doing this.
Speaker 14: You can eliminate the need for tipping if you.
Speaker 5: Just pay a normal living wage to these people, then they.
Speaker 3: Don't have to sit in bed. Yes, and I'm not
Speaker 3: blaming the restaurant owners.
Speaker 7: For instance, the restaurant owners, they go, I mean, whatever scam,
Speaker 7: they must have some reason for doing this.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Maybe they don't have to pay as much on payroll
Speaker 7: tax or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 14: I have no idea, but- But they have to pay tax.
Speaker 5: On their tips when they're done that way. You pay
Speaker 5: taxes on your tips if it comes out of off
Speaker 5: of a credit card or something because it's running through
Speaker 5: the register at that point.
Speaker 7: But nobody would complain if restaurants just started charging 20
Speaker 7: percent more.
Speaker 3: All right. And if you didn't have to pay tax.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. And you pay the employees the standard minimum
Speaker 5: wage for everybody. Get rid of the stupid server minimum wage,
Speaker 5: and then you don't have to worry about tips.
Speaker 7: Now, maybe the reason, and I've never managed a restaurant.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Wesley. Maybe the reason why they do this,
Speaker 3: one of the reasons, is.
Speaker 7: That if you have seven servers on duty and you're
Speaker 7: paying them, you have to pay... You're paying them whether
Speaker 7: you have customers or not, so in slow times. So
Speaker 7: if they're making their money off of tips, I guess
Speaker 7: you could have as many servers as you want there,
Speaker 7: and you're paying them next to nothing, and it doesn't
Speaker 7: cost the restaurant owner anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that sucks for the person working. It does,
Speaker 3: of course.
Speaker 1: It's not their fault that nobody's showing up. They're still
Speaker 1: not at home. They're at their job.
Speaker 3: They should be getting paid. Yeah.
Speaker 7: RJ says there is no tax on tips anymore. Rib
Speaker 7: says that as well. I know there was something. I
Speaker 7: forgot about that, yeah. Trump changed. There's a limit, but yeah.
Speaker 7: All right, so it's the first X amount of dollars
Speaker 7: you don't get taxed on, whatever those tips are.
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes. I'm so-called one big beautiful bill. A lot
Speaker 3: of Democrats call it the one big ugly bill because
Speaker 3: it gives the tax breaks to the billionaires.
Speaker 8: Mm-hm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that bill is chopped. No reaction from Mr.
Speaker 2: LaRocque.
Speaker 3: All right, Doozy, what do you have coming up in
Speaker 3: the shizzy?
Speaker 4: Rutgers University Dean is caught doing something so disturbing and embarrassing.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you the story next.
Speaker 3: All right, I like hearing stories like this. We'll be
Speaker 3: right back on Rover's Morning Glory. Hang on.
