1
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: I went to Miami to visit my best friend Sarah,

2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: and I've been going to Miami my entire life. And

3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: Miami's amazing because like it's got culture and it's it's

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: definitely multicultural, and it's it's like upscale and also extremely cheesy,

5
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: which I love because, like I am, I have like

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: a definite strain of cheese in me. I want to

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: shout out the W Hotel because I stayed at the

8
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: W Hotel in South Beach and sometimes I'm hesitant to

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: be like a big hotel where it's like a zoo

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: in the lobby and there's so many people and all

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: that stuff. And I got there, and first of all,

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: I'm always reminded when I get there, like the gorgeous

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: art and the design of the place. And this has

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: been around for years a W. I remember when it open,

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: it was like the coolest thing ever. And these places

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: get busted up and tired, and the W has held

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: up like they have held up so and they give

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: you an upgrade if they have it, like they're not

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, just gatekeep rooms for no reason,

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: Like they give you whatever they got. And they had

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: this thing where when you were waiting to check in,

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: you got to go upstairs to this penthouse because I

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: guess the hotel was at one hundred percent occupancy, but

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: they had not yet rented this penthouse, which is probably

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: like twenty five thousand dollars a night or ten thousand

26
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: a night. So while you're waiting for your room to

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: check in, you get to go upstairs to this penthouse

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: and there's all this food like cheese, salami, like you know, champagne,

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, there's a beautiful like outdoor pool,

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: and just people are on their computers. It's like a

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: wee work, But like, how smart of them? What? Because

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: otherwise you feel like a loser. You're just like walking

33
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: to a hotel. Then you're like wandering, your bags are somewhere,

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: you're walking through the lobe, you're trying to go to spa,

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: you're outside, like you just hate that feeling. You've just

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: gotten somewhere and you're waiting to get into your room

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: to unpack. It was just so smart, and I feel

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: like hotels don't do the basic thing that they should

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: do that just makes it easier, Like even if it's

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: not a fancy hotel, like a w just a shitty

41
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: hotel to have like a shitty room that just like

42
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: has some freaking cheese and crackers in there for people

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: to wait until they check in. Just little things. It's

44
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: like a warm bread basket in a restaurant. Doesn't take

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: much extra to do, but to go the extra mile

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: and do it makes a difference. So anyway, it was East.

47
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: It was Easter weekend, which I didn't even think about.

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: I forgot, and every hotel was packed, and this w

49
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: maintained good food, good service, like it totally held up.

50
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: And I filled out the survey and they gave you

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: like your own personal person that was just gonna check

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: in and be like do you need chairs by the beach?

53
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: Do you need this? And I emailed them back at

54
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: the end of the weekend, like with the survey and

55
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: said it was honestly immaculate and peccable. I was impressed.

56
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: It was great because people only ever tell the shit

57
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: at a hotel, They only ever complain, and I find

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: it to be the hardest business. And you know, I've

59
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: been sort of in my social media journey reviewing different

60
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: hotels and I'll be honest, like there's a hotel that

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: I stayed in Sydney. It was gorgeous. It was the

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: most beautiful hotel I'd ever been to. Its six star hotel,

63
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: but like they would send fruit every day and the

64
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: peaches were like were like hard rock hard and brown inside.

65
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: And if no one says it, they're not gonna know.

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: But I also don't want to be the one that's

67
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: only gonna complain. I mentioned all the good things, but

68
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: I also was gonna because people might spend their money

69
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: and then go stay there because I said it. So

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: I want on both ends, like people to know like

71
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: what something is and from my perspective, like give a baseline.

72
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: The Crown Hotel in Sydney was six stars and it

73
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: was amazing. But not everybody wants a big, like transactional

74
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: dobai like intimidating hotel experience. Some people, I think that's

75
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: super impressive. Someone else might like intimate. I personally like

76
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: an intimate, boutique hotel, which is why I was so

77
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: shook by the fact that the w felt amazing and

78
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: it was immaculate, like it was clean and it was

79
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: the service was good and they had an ice machine

80
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: in the hallway, which you know, I'm so fucking massive

81
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 1: on an ice machine in the hallway, so that an

82
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: upscale hotel like that would be smart enough to put

83
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: an ice machine in the hallway, because usually really fancy

84
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: hotels don't have that, and it's stupid. It's stupid. Six

85
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: star hotels, five star hotels, every star hotel should have

86
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: an ice machine in the hallway. It's less labor on

87
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: your servers. The person feels like they have the liberation

88
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: to have a cold drink whenever they want. It's just freedom.

89
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: Ice is freedom, like require ice and a bathtub, And

90
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I will not stay somewhere again if it takes me

91
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: forty five minutes to get a bucket of ice, which happens,

92
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: and why hotels will bring ice in a non cooler situation,

93
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: I'll never understand because you then have to ask for

94
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: ice three times a day. Then it's a melting like

95
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: plastic bag inside an ice bucket filled with water that

96
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: has to be dealt with like put it in a small,

97
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: cheap cooler. Ice can be there all day. Everyone deserves ice.

98
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: It's an it should be ice. Some places just don't

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: fuck around with ice, like Australia. You go to a

100
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: place you like, can I get ice in this? They

101
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: give you one ice cube, what's the problem. So anyway,

102
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: that's my ice rant that I didn't intend to do,

103
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to say that the w deserves

104
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: a shaf I went to hang with my friend. The

105
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: pandemic was a time suck, was a time capsule. We

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: did not spend any time together my best friend and I.

107
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: It was like it was so insulating, which I already

108
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: am isolating, and like it took a time to get

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: back into it, like to come out and be like, wait,

110
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: I have a best friend, and like we need to

111
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: spend time together and we need to do stupid things

112
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: because we need to laugh, because you have to have interaction,

113
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: human interaction, you know, to live to like it's therapy,

114
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: and I don't do it enough. And so spending a

115
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: whole weekend with her, which I did in Vancouver and

116
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: then now again, you know, we danced Friday night. We

117
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: went to a place called the living Room inside the

118
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: Fayena and the day before my assistant I said, can

119
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: we just go there? Just get me on some sort

120
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: of a list, and I didn't really show to buy

121
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: a table. And so the person who we connected with

122
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know why, but this table's available.

123
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: It's the day before and I don't know why this

124
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: table is available, but you should take it because this

125
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: amazing UH band is playing. So we take this table.

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: And I thought it was a scam that they were saying,

127
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: but you should take it. We take this table. It

128
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: is like the size of a living room in the

129
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: center of the most popular place in South Beach. The

130
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: living room. It's like very popular and like rich people

131
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: there and influencers and like a lead and you can't

132
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: get in and there's a rope and it's like glamorous

133
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: and the food's amazing and there. Okay, so to the

134
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: point where like I saw some billionaires that I know

135
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: and they were sitting in the corner and my friend

136
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: and I were center in the middle of this entire room,

137
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: rope and stanchions all over us. We got some sort

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: of last minute deal because someone must not have bought

139
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: this table, which the takeaway and the messages for whatever

140
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: you're doing, always give it a shot. It could be

141
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: the hottest restaurant in New York City or France and Paris,

142
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: like maybe someone just didn't show up or canceled at

143
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 1: the last minute, or a hotel room. I have no idea,

144
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: but we were in like you could fit fifteen people

145
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: in the two couches that are inside this it's called

146
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: the living room, but we were in a living room

147
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: within the living room. I felt like Madonna, you don't understand, like, yes,

148
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm more known than I was years ago, like maybe

149
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: because of social media, but more people come up to me.

150
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: It's almost I almost am like the Emperor has no clothes.

151
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm almost embarrassed, like I feel like I'm fucking Madonna.

152
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Like fifty people will come up to a table and

153
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: the security there, I'm sure some of them know who

154
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: I am. They start, they get to know who I

155
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: am pretty quickly because they're like, who the fuck why

156
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: is this girl? Of all these people coming up to

157
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: the table, But it felt like we were jay Z

158
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: and Beyonce. I'm not kidding, Like who are these two

159
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: bitches sitting at these two giant couches in this rope

160
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: and stanchion like all on their own, and there are

161
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: billionaires in the corner and like two tops, the six

162
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: people on a two top table. It was so ego boosting,

163
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,119
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you. And then we and the next

164
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: night to Casa Donna, it's a hot spot. The guy

165
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: who owns it, his name is Dave Grutman. He owns

166
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: the Live I'm sure you've heard about Live, that like

167
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: place in the Fountain Blue that's like the hot club.

168
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: And he owns Komodo, which is a Japanese restaurant. I

169
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: think that area is called I think it's Brickle and

170
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: it's like the hotspot and the food is great. And

171
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, we're at this place, Casa Donna, which is

172
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: this gorgeous outdoor place and it's on the water and

173
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: it's like big, and it's a vibe. And I think

174
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: Andrea Agassi was there that night, and Shakira was there,

175
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, sitting at the next table from us, and

176
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: like it was a vibe, right, And and this guy,

177
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: Dave Grutman, they carry Forever Young, They carry my wine.

178
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: It's on the menu. Made me feel like a baller

179
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: and I thanked him for supporting us. And you know,

180
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: this guy. There are some guys like this, like and

181
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: there are different levels, but there are these like nightclub,

182
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: empresario entertainment hospitality guys. These are the forward facing hospitality guys.

183
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: They usually have a backer, like Noah and Jason were

184
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: the two guys behind Marquis and Tao. But like Mark

185
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: Packer was this guy that I know that you know

186
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: he was the backer behind the two forward facing like

187
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna be there every night. It's a

188
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: very hard thing to do the job that they do

189
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: because you've got to be on all the time. You

190
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: might have a wife, you might have a baby. They

191
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: all happen to have wives and babies and girlfriends, but

192
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: you've got to be the guy in the club or

193
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: the restaurant till two o'clock in the morning, watching everything

194
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: like a hawk. Because if you have Shakira and there

195
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: Andrea Augusty, nothing can go wrong. Like you've got to

196
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: be on the case. So my friend and I there

197
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: before the grace of God. I don't know why. It

198
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: was Saturday night. And just as an aside, the waitress,

199
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: the server tells me, just like anecdotally, she said, this

200
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: is the most covers we've ever had since we opened.

201
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: Like I don't remember it was eight hundred tables or

202
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: whatever the number was, but she was like, this is

203
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: She complained for being like two minutes delayed on something

204
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice. She goes, I'm sorry, it's the

205
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: most reservations we've ever had since we opened. Well and behold,

206
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: my friend and I are at the best table, no exaggeration.

207
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: The CEO of the Four Seasons at the table next

208
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: to us were at this giant booth again like I'm

209
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: jay Z and Beyonce, Like we just like got lucky

210
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: this week. And I don't know why they gave us

211
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: a table, like yes, he has my wine and the menu.

212
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: There are a million wines, and there are like very

213
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: famous people like rolling through there. The Kardashians roll through there.

214
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: I'm sure j Loo's rolled through there. Like Dave Grutman

215
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: doesn't fuck around with like celebrity, Like none of these

216
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: guys do. It's Eugene and Mark that are the other

217
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: duo that do this for catch restaurants. Like that's another duo,

218
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: and Dave is in a duo. He seems like he's

219
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: on his own. But what I'm getting too here is

220
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: that I was sitting in this baller booth and yes,

221
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: girls were coming up to me, and it started to

222
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: be like a lot, and I felt guilty because he

223
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: put security on my table. And several times he stood

224
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: up from his table and walked up and was like

225
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: girls just like, you know, she's eating, let her eat,

226
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: et cetera, which was really kind. I felt tremendously guilty

227
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: because I felt like, in this one case, there were

228
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: these two girls and the one girl, you know, she

229
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: actually sat down next to me, which was a little

230
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: you know, she like sat down while we were eating,

231
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: and she was like, oh my god, we love you

232
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: and it was so nice and like I'm so grateful,

233
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: and she was like, can we get a picture? And

234
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: then Dave came up and he had put security on

235
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: the table and they were like, just you know, she's

236
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: eating dinner. And she was like, but you don't mind, right,

237
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: And I was like no, because like I didn't mind,

238
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: but then I'm gonna be sitting with like ten people

239
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: at my table and then it's you know, uncomfortable with

240
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: my friend and it's all about me and not my friends.

241
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: And I felt sort of guilty, and I'll still I'll

242
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: go into the box one day, like feeling guilty that

243
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: the one girl got the picture and the other one didn't.

244
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: And I ended up seeing her from a distance later

245
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: and wanted to scream her name to like you get

246
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: your picture, Like I felt badly. I genuinely did. It

247
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: was not like my fault and nothing happened and the

248
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: security guy said something and then they were gone. But

249
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: I always feel guilty about something like that, like it's weird.

250
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Paul used to, you know, always say to me like

251
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: like or he'll be I happen. Even recently he'll say,

252
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: like you'll obsessed about it. Just take the picture because

253
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna obsessed about it and feel bad. Like someone

254
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: comes up to me in the bathroom and then I

255
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: don't get the picture because I feel weird because I'm

256
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: like midstream peace basically or washing my hands, and like

257
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: then I like hunt the airport and feel bad that

258
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: I didn't take the picture. But anyway, there's that one

259
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: girl that has blonde hair, and if you know, if

260
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: if you're listening, I will get the picture with you

261
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: one of these days because I still feel bad. But

262
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: the point of the story is just to say that

263
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: Dave Grutman, who's like made it. You know, he's got

264
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: successful restaurants, and he works like it's the first day

Speaker 1: you deserve your success, Like I'm watching you and you're

271
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: on every table and it's not just the Shakira tables,

272
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: Like he's just on what's going on in the room.

273
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: Who's coming up to my table? What's going on? Is

274
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: that food good? Was that cold? Was this server on

275
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: the game? Was this like on time? Well, like just impossible.

276
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: So just shout out to Casadana, which was very good

277
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: in a beautiful restaurant that I had not been to.

278
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: But shout out to Dave Grutman, because that guy straight

279
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: hustles like the first day he ever worked. And the

280
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: people that are really successful at every level, whether they

281
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: are paupers or billionaires, they're working the same, like you

282
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: do it or you don't, whatever job it is. Like

283
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: I used to be the copy maker when I was

284
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: a pa at saved by the Bell, and I made

285
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: those copies like it was my life and whatever job

286
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: you have, because I do find this day and age,

287
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: people think that like things should come easy and they're

288
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: a little entitled. Like the people that succeed are the

289
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: ones that work their asses off, like just it's just

290
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: who they are, like do it or don't. And what

291
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: I noticed at that table and that's see, it was

292
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: a Dave Grutman was doing it, and you know I was.

293
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: I was impressed. And so we had a very very

294
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: VIP weekend. I am you know, it's not they say

295
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: the artist for the artist formerly known as I'm the

296
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: artist currently known as jay Z and Beyonce, because I

297
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: was a baller shot caller in Miami this weekend. So

298
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: it was good, it was fun, and it was most

299
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: importantly great to connect with my friend because you've got

300
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: to connect with your own friends and just like take

301
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: that time. It's not the same a group dinner with

302
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of people, it's not the same. Just like

303
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: talking and facetiming. You gotta like dance, get down and dirty, laugh,

304
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: like be alone with them, not with the spouses, not

305
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: with the boyfriends, not with the fiances. Just do it.

306
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: And we did it and it was amazing. So shout out,

307
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,400
