<v Speaker 3>Okay, they going through enough, but true right, Like it's

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 3>like this kind of a little bit of a scam

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 3>in itself. I'm like, why y'all go put these little

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 3>sims on here? And somebody put it in such a

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>great reference way. We are watching these people, you know,

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 3>in a Stanford prison experiment.

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>It's just an experiment.

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 3>They're sleep deprived, they're you know what did they give

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 3>them the food that makes them fart all day? They

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 3>got avocados, acados, avocados, eggs, avocados, eggs and apples. So

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 3>and then and then they gotta go kiss strangers all

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.959
<v Speaker 3>the time. And somebody put it in a great way.

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 3>They were like, if we just look up the time

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 3>that they've been shooting, it's around eight hundred hours of

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 3>footage and we only see thirty six hours.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so we're judging.

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 3>These people off of what less than four percent or

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 3>like around four percent of their experience, So.

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Keep that in mind.

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Guys, they scamming them sexy babies, they scamming them.

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 1>No, but I want to ask you about your relationship

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>with scams.

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Eating So I like to play the scam sometimes and

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 3>just ask you a couple of questions and get your opinion.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Is something a scam, is it a scheme? Or do

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 3>you feel like it's a real thing? So I'm sure

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 3>you're not gonna be surprised. The first one I'm gonna

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 3>ask you is Jury Duty? How do you feel about

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Jury Duty? And if you don't mind describing the show

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 3>to people who may have not been blessed to see

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.239
<v Speaker 3>it yet, which you must be living under a rock.

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>But also I love that for you.

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, hmm, well, was it a scam more of

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.959
<v Speaker 2>a scheme? I think that sounds nicer.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 3>If you're talking about in relation, Because I'm gonna talk

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 3>about both just like real life every day. But like

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.959
<v Speaker 3>if we're talking about in relation to the TV show

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 3>you were on, how do you feel like that was that.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Was a scheme? It was a planned scheme. I can't

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>say scam.

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>No, no, I don't think it's a scam at all.

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 3>But I'm more so asking about your experience and like

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 3>the show, like do you feel like you all were

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 3>tricking this person?

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Where do you lie on that?

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they should keep doing it to men.

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 2>It's what I think, or to people, to people, but

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>why men's specifically, well, because they only do it to men.

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's true.

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I think one was enough and we

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>got the point. It was a very special show, I

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 2>think because it had never been done. But to keep

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 2>doing it, I'm a little like I'm probably gonna get

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 2>in trouble. I'm just like I feel I feel a

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.359
<v Speaker 2>little bad, but also he's fine.

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 3>And also I think that they did it to a

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 3>man more than once, because I feel like women would

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 3>not be as oblivious.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, and women are talking to people too, like I

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>feel like men are suffering in silence, like they're like

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 2>that was weird, But I don't know that I can

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 2>say that out loud.

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 2>They would be talking to everybody immediately and getting all

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>affections right, right exactly. I can't shut up.

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 3>Same so I would have been a lunch break. I

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 3>would have been like, so let's all gather up.

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm feeling something about this, you know.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the feelings, the feelings that are facts would have

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 3>come out. Yes, that's a nice way to put it

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 3>though that like these like poor men, because I'm sorry,

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 3>like listen, it's very hard for me to support a man.

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 3>They put themselves in their own prison and that's why

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 3>it sucked there. But you're so right. They would be

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 3>the ones to process things in their brains and then

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 3>be like, but if everybody else is actually normal, I'm.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 2>A man, I'd get at even more normal.

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 3>Remember for a while it was like a popular thing

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 3>that the Man of Spirit was doing.

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember what it was called.

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 3>But they would go on planes and they like wouldn't

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 3>watch the TV on the plane, not listen to any music,

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 3>not read a book, no entertainment for like as long

0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 3>of flights as they could, where they were just like

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 3>white masculine, yeah, not sleeping, just white just white knuckle.

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Wait, you can joke. What do y'all look up the name?

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Because there was a name for this if people were

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 3>doing it, And I was like, why though.

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Why you can enjoy yourself?

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, raw dogging.

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Raw dogging is hitten for me because it's like raw

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 3>dogging life where people are like, oh, you're not on medication,

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.479
<v Speaker 3>you raw dogging life? Like oh yeah, So they were like,

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna raw dog these flights and like not have anything.

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>To interpecifically on airplanes.

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the airplanes were like the like they started to

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 3>expand into other experiences where you would want to entertain yourself.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>But I think it started with airplanes.

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 2>It's so dark, be nice to yourself, enjoy yourself, it's okay, and.

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Like, no, we need to feel pain. I'm like, this

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 3>is why y'all are so upset. Yes, but so that

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 3>makes a lot of sense to me. I would say

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 3>like actual jury duty when it's not a show, is

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 3>also a scheme.

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Because yeah, I've never done it.

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I haven't either, and now it's very difficult in our

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:59.239
<v Speaker 3>industry to do it because I can't be like hey Sony,

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 3>hey Disney. I can't make my job because I have

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 3>to go sit on this jury. But I'm trying to

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.600
<v Speaker 3>figure out a way to do it because more black

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 3>people and more women in general need to be doing

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 3>jury duty because if we're not there to represent our

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 3>ilk are peers, then these people aren't getting a fair trial,

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean?

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but who wants to do that?

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I know? And that's what makes it so hard.

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 3>And I think that there's so many people who want

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 3>to be cops, Like the thirst to be a cop

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 3>in life is so strange to me. Like that's where

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 3>we got the term karen from, you know what I mean.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 3>It's like people who wanted to be police and everybody

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 3>else yes, And so those people show up to jury

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 3>duty yet ready read They're like I brought rocks for

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 3>the stone. They're like, no, you don't get to be executioner.

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Two bro put them rocks down.

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I feel like the people that end up on

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 2>it are probably the worst kinds of people, or people

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>who are bored or have nothing else going on in

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 2>their life. That's why they're there, and now they're get

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>to feel like righteous.

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 3>And then I also think I hope that like retired people,

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 3>I hope the elderly are going like, y'all got a

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 3>lot of wisdom, like y'all pop up in there memo

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 3>and Papau and instead of getting scammed on the phone,

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 3>hang out at court and help decide somebody, Hey, go

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 3>to court.

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>But I know that we have to do it too.

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 3>It's just so hard at this point in my life

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 3>to give up that time because I simply cannot.

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>They're like, you know, we own you, right, you can't

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>not come. But then if.

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 3>I show up d duty to the government, gonna be like,

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, we can arrest you, right, since you're just

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 3>not coming.

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.359
<v Speaker 2>No miny Like, but I'm an actress, let you understand.

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 3>But I think a lot of like really busy people

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 3>are also And this is not to take away from

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 3>people who have free time, because they can also be

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 3>highly intelligent. But I think a lot of highly intelligent

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 3>people are like, I don't have time for this shit.

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 3>And then it's like, so, now we got a jury

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.200
<v Speaker 3>of all the George Bush's kids.

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like George Bush dropped off all these.

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.719
<v Speaker 3>Kids at the house and left them behind, and now

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:02.959
<v Speaker 3>they get to decide your fate.

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not right, it's not.

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 3>But I'm like, how do we fix them, like, if

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 3>you do have the time, guys, you gotta make the sacrifice, please,

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 3>but not us. I know I haven't had such a hypocrite,

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 3>but I'm like, literally, I can't. Yeah, because what if

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 3>I get stuck on like a very long trial.

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>What if we switch that up in the government.

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 3>What if it was like, Okay, we know this is

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 3>some petty shit, we can get over quickly.

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let me get one of them short ones.

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and I'm and I know that everybody would be

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.439
<v Speaker 3>thirsty to get the short trial.

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>But what if we could bring in.

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 3>Like our like our doctor's notes or our excuses of

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 3>like why we can't be on anything like a murder

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 3>trial or something.

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 2>That way, we're there for something something. I would love

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 2>to be there for something.

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how did it feel like even just like in

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 3>this show Recreation, were you bored?

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Ever? Was it? Oh? My god? There were such long

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>periods of like witness is going up and being really

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 2>boring just so that the reality stuff felt more real.

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it was boring. But then also like they

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't we wouldn't see some of the witnesses before. So

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 2>then sometimes they have someone get up and they start

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:19.840
<v Speaker 2>doing something extremely funny, and we haven't even been breathed

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.640
<v Speaker 2>on it, and we're all like trying not to laugh,

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>like not looking at each other, like, oh my god,

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe they're doing this to us.

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.719
<v Speaker 1>Right, I think that's a moment where you could laugh, though, I.

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Feel I mean I did about Cardi B.

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>When she was on the witness.

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Stand that was she was so amazing.

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 3>If I had a Cardi B. Cuirt case, I would

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 3>have been up in food there. She's so funny, we

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 3>got so many memes. She's a genius, Like maybe that's

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 3>a bribe like she and she's constantly getting in legal trouble.

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 3>So guys think about it like this, if you sign

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 3>up for jewelry duty, you might be a one of

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 3>Cardi B's hilarious trials where she just threw something at

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:02.839
<v Speaker 3>somebody or was like y'all saha, y'all sawha, Like come on,

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 3>come on, like you might get one of the.

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Whose or Johnny Depp amber heard she's leaving shit in

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>his bed. I wouldn't be seated for that.

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Seated. Now, that's a long trial.

0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 3>So that's gotta be for our board community or our

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:17.080
<v Speaker 3>retired community.

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but yeah, like, thinking about it that way, you

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>could you could get a landmark case.

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 2>You could become a writer after one of them.

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:33.839
<v Speaker 3>Also, right, yeah, you could be inspired exactly. Yeah, you're

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 3>so right, because there's so many trials that are so

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 3>famous that then the jurors come out and they write

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 3>about what really happened.

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 2>It might be a career change.

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 3>You could at least get like a panphle sized book

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 3>out of it and sell it on Amazon. Scene, right,

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 3>a zine were buying it.

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>We buying a zine.

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I think we're giving incentive now for people to

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 3>go to jury duty.

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Yes, in ways that they haven't before.

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 3>They keep being like civic duty, Like nobody wants to

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 3>do that. Make it sound cool, right, you could make

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 3>a scene, right, make it like let's make a deal

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 3>where we get pulled out of the audience bank running

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 3>down and costumes and shit like whoa, let Wayne Brady

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 3>host jury like yeah, we have lawyers and stuff, but

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 3>in between you know.

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 2>D break mm hmm.

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.080
<v Speaker 3>It's so sad that in America, like you know, you

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 3>need to entertain us and we need to maybe be

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.200
<v Speaker 3>able to get famous.

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>And then we'll come otherwise.

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 3>No, and it's pissed me off that every profession is

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 3>coming like turning into that, Like what do you mean?

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 3>And I've said there so many times on the show,

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 3>but I'm like, what do you mean. You're a doctor

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 3>or a nurse and you're trying to get famous ontack.

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 3>But it's like now every profession's like, I'm a plumber.

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 3>They call me Joe the crack.

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, are like a day in the life of

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 2>a surgeon, right, And I'm sorry you need to be

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 2>paying attention, but some.

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Of it it's highly interesting, and so I they get

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.320
<v Speaker 3>followers because I didn't know that during these long operation

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 3>sessions they be playing music. I didn't know that different

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 3>types of surgeons like, oh my gosh, I think it's

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 3>orthopedic surgeons. I could be wrong, y'all correct me if

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 3>I am, But there's certain types of surgeons who like

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 3>play like gangster rap when they're like known for it.

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>So you might like, if you imagine you're being put

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>under and you just hear it.

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 3>It's it must be I'm like, but that's what they

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 3>do it As we are under, they're turning on their

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 3>ship and then it's just cutting on us, like.

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Putting the bellot why are you cutting on me? Like,

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 1>so it is interesting.

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 3>I get the impetus, but I'm also like, maybe everybody

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 3>go back to doing their job. Yes, maybe I'm just

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:57.280
<v Speaker 3>not privileged to know that. I was never genuinely curious pain. Yes,

0:13:57.840 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 3>I know, but then when they come we were war

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.839

<v Speaker 3>Like that's why we have.

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Below deck though, so we would just let them do Yeah,

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>we had that. Yeah, you're so right. It's not necessary

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>for the content creators.

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:24.040

<v Speaker 2>was like, hey, you want to do it again. I'm

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 2>not doing anything. Why not? I'm taking pictures And it

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 2>said on the PayPal thing. I mean this, you can

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 2>make fun of me. It's said on PayPal pending the

0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 2>payment is pending. And he was like in England, so

0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.160
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, I guess he's across the pond.

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:05.880
<v Speaker 2>It takes time to you know.

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Well PayPal some dams does have a pending payment.

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 3>And what's crazy about it is that if you're on

0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 3>the wrong end of that, which I have been where

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.040
<v Speaker 3>I sent money that was supposed to go to a

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 3>family member and it.

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Was a lot of money.

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Baby didn't get it back, and I was called of

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:19.960
<v Speaker 3>PayPal the second I did it.

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, and I.

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Was like hey, hey, hey, hey hey, and they were like, oh,

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:25.400
<v Speaker 3>it's above us now fuck PayPal.

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>But also spotsor to show pay Pal.

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 3>But so you also said that you were talking to

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.400
<v Speaker 3>your roommate, so so gud the PayPal is pending.

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>And then you said something about talking to your roommate.

0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh my, Like I'm just saying like I'm hanging out

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:38.600
<v Speaker 2>while I'm doing this.

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, I got it.

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.399
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't take very much for me.

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 3>No, you know, but okay, but so this is easy

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 3>light work to do the physics basically.

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Then he was like, oh, yeah, it's because I live

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 2>in England. Whatever. And then eventually the money never came.

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 2>And during that one, I'm sending like my faces in

0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the pictures, He's like, put your toe in your mouth

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.640
<v Speaker 2>because it's going oh.

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:07.160
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, I'm not gasping. I'm not gasping at

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.440
<v Speaker 3>the functionality. I knew when he said that I want

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.399
<v Speaker 3>to go back and forth. That he wanted to make

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 3>sure that whatever he was asking for, he was the

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 3>only one getting it, because you know, the girls will.

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Recycle some shit.

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.119
<v Speaker 3>The girls would be recycling the I'm doing it.

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing it full, full on, and I'm going to do.

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 1>A good ass job.

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.760
<v Speaker 3>He said he wants today's newspaper, and I gasped, and

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 3>I said, you're locked in and he's not sending the coin.

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 3>That's why I guessed, because like, it's the difference to

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 3>giving me. I can give you a recycled foot, but

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 3>if I'm giving you new foot moment to moment foot,

0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:38.400
<v Speaker 3>where's my ship?

0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Please? And he got me because he did it the

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.679
<v Speaker 2>first time. You know, he paid me one time. Then

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 2>he was like I can get more. Mmmm that give

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 2>a little to get a lot. And then also what

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 2>the fuck he doing with these pictures? Because what if

0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 2>he's flipping the picks and making his own coin? I know,

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 2>but to who, like, I'm just like, wait a who.

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 3>He gave you? It feels like he gave you your cut.

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Like there's something in pimping. I've been on pimp TikTok

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:11.200
<v Speaker 3>a lot, where like in Miami they call him the tricks, right,

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.920
<v Speaker 3>So a woman will be like, hey, come out with us,

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 3>like we got some tricks.

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>They about to give you money, They about to like

0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 1>really run it out.

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 3>And then you're thinking like, oh, I'm getting money for

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 3>be at a beautiful battie.

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:21.880
<v Speaker 1>That's all I have to do.

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 3>And then after they give you that first bit of money,

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.360
<v Speaker 3>they'd be like, okay, well we're gonna get something out

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.199
<v Speaker 3>of you as well. And so this is given now

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 3>where he was like, I'm gonna give you this money,

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 3>but now he's got so much more content and he

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 3>could easily have a fake profile up somewhere in.

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:40.359
<v Speaker 2>England filled with me toe in the mouth.

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 3>I feel like a foot reseller and that's getting me

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 3>off like say that.

0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 2>After that, I kind of like I found almost like

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>a new fetish for myself because I kind of liked

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:57.120
<v Speaker 2>that he was scamming me.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 3>I do like to talk to scammers. We're locked in.

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 3>We're so locked in, don't even worry about the sweetheart.

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 3>They won't talk to me back, like, they'll hit me

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 3>up and then I'll start texting with them, and then

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 3>I can't help myself. I started putting it on Instagram stories. Like, hey, y'all,

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.159
<v Speaker 3>I got one of those fake number of things and

0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.959
<v Speaker 3>then all of a sudden, like them, I'm trying to yeah,

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 3>but then I get too eager and I put it

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:21.679
<v Speaker 3>on tic or I put it on Instagram or something right,

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:23.920
<v Speaker 3>and then like they see it and they're like, oh fuck,

0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.280
<v Speaker 3>like they'll like never mind, and I'm like, no way,

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 3>you said we got a golf appointments and they leave me.

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 3>And that makes you feel some type of way that

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting ghosted by scammers. But so you you now

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 3>you're feeling involved, Okay, okay, and what did that do

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:37.320
<v Speaker 3>for you?

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Like I kind of liked then I kind of got

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:45.159
<v Speaker 2>into the idea of him of being scammed, like the

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.959
<v Speaker 2>power of being a scammer. I was kind of like,

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.239
<v Speaker 2>why do I like this? And then I was like,

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:54.159
<v Speaker 2>what if I just send him pictures just like for

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 2>no reason? And then I was like, what if I

0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 2>start paying him?

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, now we're taking this step too far. I was

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 1>with you before.

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:04.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be this way. You gotta be

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 2>honest with you.

0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:06.880
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be on the opposite side of it.

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know this but before my podcast and you know,

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.479
<v Speaker 3>book and television show took off. I Scam Goddess had

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 3>a completely different meaning. I kind of repurposed it and

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 3>had no idea that scam goddesses are people who because

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.359
<v Speaker 3>I was getting confused, I would be on Twitter or

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 3>whatever and men were start getting my comments and they're like,

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:28.159
<v Speaker 3>I'll be your pay piggy, like you can you know,

<v Speaker 3>yell at me or do whatever and I'll just send

<v Speaker 3>in the origination of it, and it is scamming men

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.640
<v Speaker 3>who want to be scammed, so yes, we'll look get

0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:40.600

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:28.200
<v Speaker 3>come to think of it, there's probably a lot of

0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:31.119
<v Speaker 3>like really god fearing Christian people who don't even realize

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.440
<v Speaker 3>that they like a like a financial domination situation, because

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 3>think about prosperity Gospel and how we've had pastors locked

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:39.720
<v Speaker 3>the doors of the church and be like you got

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 3>to give more money, Like if you want to sow see,

0:24:42.080 --> 0:24:44.360
<v Speaker 3>give me three thousand dollars. If you want to get this,

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.159
<v Speaker 3>give me That Is that a kink that we did,

0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:52.200
<v Speaker 3>ass it's like the classiest way to do that kink because.

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:57.159
<v Speaker 1>My past is sailing at me and calling me broke.

0:24:57.560 --> 0:24:59.919
<v Speaker 1>But now have an audience too. Yeah, that's a.

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:05.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying everyone's doing it for that reason. There

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:07.720
<v Speaker 3>are a lot of people who give to churches because

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 3>they want to support their communities. I'm talking about those

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:12.399
<v Speaker 3>mega churches where it is so apparent that this pastor

0:25:12.440 --> 0:25:14.879
<v Speaker 3>is pimping the congregation that I'm like, y'all gotta like

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 3>this a little bit.

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Hm hmmm. I don't know.

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.120
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I feel like we shouldn't have met

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:26.119
<v Speaker 3>under these circumstances because I'm like, let me give you

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 3>my number, group, cause i feel like I feel like

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:34.640
<v Speaker 3>we're a little too locked this.

0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 2>I think so too. They can't let us get in kahoots.

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:43.640
<v Speaker 3>No, they can't let us get in cahoots cashoos. Now

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:45.879
<v Speaker 3>my foot ain't is I'm had the photoshop. I should

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:48.600
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. I had my fans run my wiki

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:51.120
<v Speaker 3>feet up. But my feet look like what I've been through,

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean? They look like I was

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:56.159
<v Speaker 3>walking to school barefoot in the snow every day. It

0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:58.120
<v Speaker 3>was like, what's going on? The bitch dancing on glass

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 3>like I'm have to get mine. I'm like, why if

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:09.160
<v Speaker 3>he got to bed? But I feel like we could

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:11.960
<v Speaker 3>do it. Now did this end with the man just

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:15.880
<v Speaker 3>conghosting with the feet, like yeah, okay.

0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I got mad at him and I just I said

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:21.479
<v Speaker 2>fuck you, yeah for something, and then I was like

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I blocked him.

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:25.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't like that he tried to make your

0:26:25.480 --> 0:26:27.200
<v Speaker 3>feet stock because I really do think.

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:31.360
<v Speaker 2>He flipping the foot and he has some incriminating images,

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:33.760
<v Speaker 2>is what I'll say. Bad.

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 3>I think he flipping that foot and making brillid and

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:38.760
<v Speaker 3>that's upsetting to me and my homegirls.

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but okay, scarce.

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 3>God speaking of people flipping things and shricking people, our

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:53.920
<v Speaker 3>historic hoodwin today. This is a portion of the show

0:26:53.960 --> 0:26:56.639
<v Speaker 3>where I will regale Eatie with a famous con caper

0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 3>group of criminals will get her opinions all throughout. And

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 3>today we're actually talking about a flipper. So there's a

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 3>serial scalper that has been reselling dinner reservations at high

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:13.440
<v Speaker 3>end sushi bars like Yoshino at extreme up charges. Finding

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 3>him unearthed a network of Michelin Star restaurant reservation scalping

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 3>that was happening across New York City. And listen, in

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 3>this season, you don't want to get got. There's just

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:27.560
<v Speaker 3>some food for thought. So have you ever been to

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 3>like a Michelin Star restaurant. I'm sure you have. The

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Emmys know about you. I know when you was in

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 3>the Hollywood Report. I know you eating to everybody's Star wars. Okay,

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:36.840
<v Speaker 3>I know that white tied man. I hate to see

0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:37.200
<v Speaker 3>you cover.

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Now we're now.

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Were you ever making these reservations yourself? Or were they

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 3>kind of coming through like companies or invitations or.

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm not like that. I'm not like that. Honestly,

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 2>I was a waitress at a pretty fancy restaurant, so

0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 2>that's usually my friend who owned the restaurant would get

0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 2>me a reservation.

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Same same, I've done that before and my dad.

0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Works in steakhouses in the city. So that's he's a waiter.

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 2>So you locked in and I'm that world and that

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:08.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of waiter like they make bank.

0:28:08.880 --> 0:28:12.240
<v Speaker 3>They make bank, like people don't need those levels to

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 3>this waiter.

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Shit. Okay, there's a house.

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy, but I do. He's got to get out, Yeah,

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 2>to get out. He's too old. But he's making money.

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean, if it's his passion and he's good

0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:23.720
<v Speaker 1>at it.

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 2>If it's his passion, you think it's his passion.

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:28.199
<v Speaker 1>For some people, it is.

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 3>That's why I started giving themselves no names, Like I'm

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:34.399
<v Speaker 3>not a bartender, I'm a Somali. Ah, I went to

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 3>school for this. What you mean, I'm not head bar back.

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm running F and D around this hole. Okay. There

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 3>are some people their passion. It's a seruicide. No, he

0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 3>loves he loves the restaurant world. Hm.

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:50.360
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't my passion though, So I can understand where

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you're coming from.

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:55.000
<v Speaker 3>But I did it for many years and so this

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 3>like so Yoshino is a ten seat Michelin star sushi

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:03.960
<v Speaker 3>war on Bowery that opened in twenty twenty one. It's

0:29:04.000 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 3>a big event to get a seat there. And now

0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 3>that I'm looking at this, I've been to a place

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 3>like this in Los Angeles.

0:29:09.360 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't even remember the name.

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:15.560
<v Speaker 3>I just went with Miranda Cosgrove and her mama and

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:21.840
<v Speaker 3>it was just like this. Oh, I like, yeah, it's

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 3>the kind of place you gotta be like, yeah, I'm

0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 3>with you know, child Caro, Right, okay, I'm with Netflix Royalty.

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 1>She getting that reservation.

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 3>If I call, I can try to be like, hey, y'all,

0:29:34.120 --> 0:29:38.040
<v Speaker 3>have y'all heard a scam? Gut and they probably be

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:39.239
<v Speaker 3>like this, no, and hang up.

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think I'm getting to the next sentence.

0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 3>So this makes sense that people would try to find

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:48.200
<v Speaker 3>another way to get into these high end restaurants if

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 3>they don't have the cloud or the power.

0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:54.080
<v Speaker 2>But these are people finding the scalper like they're the

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 2>scammers themselves.

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh I would find the scalper.

0:29:57.120 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 3>I absolutely am kind of down for this if they're

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 3>not stealing the reservation, like if I actually get it.

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 3>So you know, we're talking about Yoshina, right, and it's

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.680
<v Speaker 3>this tense. It looks very fancy. It also looks just

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:13.080
<v Speaker 3>very expensive. They're only gonna do maybe twenty covers a night,

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:16.400
<v Speaker 3>maybe three sittings, maybe they get thirty people on that beach.

0:30:16.480 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 1>So you know it's expensive wild, although I do like

0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:20.680
<v Speaker 1>this better.

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's a lot of expensive restaurants where it's

0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 3>like huge, it's like the size of a cheesecak factory.

0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, don't charge me a bunch of money for this.

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 3>And the restaurant where there's ten people, I'm like, okay,

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:30.920
<v Speaker 3>y'all gotta make all money.

0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 1>So how much is the ice cubes? Again, Yes, it's exclusive.

0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 3>It's very plain in there, but you know that's like

0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:42.760
<v Speaker 3>rich where rich people have pivoted to clean Yeah, clean

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 3>the clean girl anesthetic because they're always running from broke e's.

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 3>So once brokeys start to have access to things, then

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 3>rich people were like, oh, we don't do that anymore.

0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Like rich people used to be labeled down. They used

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 3>to wear the Gucci belt, they used to have all

0:30:56.400 --> 0:30:59.400
<v Speaker 3>the imbles on. The rappers got a hold of that.

0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:01.640
<v Speaker 3>They were like, oh no, we wear eight hundred dollars

0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:03.120
<v Speaker 3>white Tea's get away from us.

0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 2>You put I hate that. I love if something says product,

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm like.

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, put it on my body.

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I love fake Gucci.

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Chinatown bag, some Fucci you can hit sometimes, you know,

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 3>some Gooseie. It's just like and it's like more unique

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 3>than the pieces that they're slang and especially when it

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 3>comes to Gucci, because I consider that, Damn, I'm gonna

0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:28.360
<v Speaker 3>reveal myself as a snot. But I consider that brand

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:32.200
<v Speaker 3>to be a bit more pedestrian because it's easier to access. Yes,

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 3>But at the same time, haven't I just did what

0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 3>I said that I just condemned to rich people for

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:37.520
<v Speaker 3>doing I'm like, everybody can get it.

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't want it anymore. It's nasty.

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Now, I'm not like that.

0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm not like that either, even though I kind of

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 3>did say I was like that just a little bit.

0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:50.400
<v Speaker 3>But I love Coach Comach just killing the game though,

0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 3>Like they're.

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Designed signed cheap Coach too.

0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:56.240
<v Speaker 3>And their leather is one of the highest qualities. You know,

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 3>I would have a TikTok rabbit hole about that. There's

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:02.400
<v Speaker 3>this leather artist who like breaks down like MS bags,

0:32:02.400 --> 0:32:05.400
<v Speaker 3>all these really expensive leather bags. He cuts them apart,

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 3>he like checks them for everything, and Coach ranks high

0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:11.200
<v Speaker 3>up there in like quality.

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Of leather, in quality of leather.

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm gonna stop talking because I'm revealing myself

0:32:17.560 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 3>too much.

0:32:17.920 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>You you're trying to expose me.

0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:24.720
<v Speaker 3>So back to the story, because anyways, a reservation gets

0:32:24.760 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 3>you two and a half hour twenty one chorus preset menum.

0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:34.600
<v Speaker 3>The pinocchi counter was sourced from three hundred year old

0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 3>tree and the chairs were handmade.

0:32:38.240 --> 0:32:40.040
<v Speaker 2>What was what? Wood?

0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't that's a good point, damn. And I was trying

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 3>to get you think.

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I was saying from me, tree.

0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 1>It's a really old one.

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:53.400
<v Speaker 2>So wood sounds like it's old. It's old wood.

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but we don't do that new money. Would we

0:32:56.160 --> 0:33:00.240
<v Speaker 3>only do old money? Would what get out here? And

0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 3>the chairs were handmade k okay As chairs are typically right.

0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:10.120
<v Speaker 3>But they said that it comes from Japan and that

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 3>the knives are crafted by a god a prefecture in Japan.

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:22.680
<v Speaker 3>So these are like fucking now wild knives. These are

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 3>the best knives ever. And you know what I think

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.800
<v Speaker 3>when I eat food. Damn, A good knife cut this,

0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:33.720
<v Speaker 3>I said, No one, but okay. According to your Sushi

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:37.120
<v Speaker 3>legend dot com, step into Yoshino. There's a feeling in

0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 3>the air. If you were lucky enough to attend Hamilton

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:42.800
<v Speaker 3>in New York on its first run or like a

0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 3>big Boxinger MMA match during sports respective you know seasons,

0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:53.680
<v Speaker 3>like this is like going to the super Bowl of eating. Okay,

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 3>I know I feel the same way. It's just because

0:33:56.640 --> 0:33:58.400
<v Speaker 3>they won't let you in that you're like, there's an

0:33:58.400 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 3>era about this place.

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Look at all the old Well this.

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 3>One ain't young, like like come on now, So this

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 3>began like kind of like it wasn't Yoshino that started this,

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:13.799
<v Speaker 3>but they contributed to these reservation wars. So talk is

0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 3>one of the many platforms competing for business in the

0:34:17.040 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 3>reservation wars. And some restaurants use the old reliables like

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:25.120
<v Speaker 3>open tables, or they use seven Rooms, which is independently

0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:29.279
<v Speaker 3>owned and funded by celebrity chefs like Jose andres and

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 3>some just use yelp. If you're you know yelp the

0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 3>the ross dress for less of reservation apps. Everybody's on yelp.

0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 3>So Resie is also, you know, like a fake bougie one.

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 3>So Resie and Talk are now the new bougier never talk,

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 3>never heard of talk.

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:52.480
<v Speaker 2>So you're making new ones because.

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 3>That's how you stay relevant once people start to hear

0:34:55.239 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 3>about it. Then remember we got to run away the

0:34:57.960 --> 0:34:59.680
<v Speaker 3>pores know about it, so we.

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:01.040
<v Speaker 2>You're not to talk.

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:03.680
<v Speaker 3>You've not heard of talk, And I'm like, you mean

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:07.839
<v Speaker 3>TikTok And they're like, oh, darling, no no, no, no, no no,

0:35:08.520 --> 0:35:12.360
<v Speaker 3>So reside and talk of the new hot reservation like

0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:15.800
<v Speaker 3>and they're like both owned by American Express and Resident

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:18.160
<v Speaker 3>which kind of gives to me, like, you know how

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 3>Procter and Gamble owns a lot of competing brands, so

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 3>you're gain and you're tied maybe competing soap brands, but

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:31.160
<v Speaker 3>they're owned by the same company, so American Express is

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 3>doing that. We're like, if you think Resie is supedestriate,

0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:38.440
<v Speaker 3>don't worry. We have talk now it's even bougie. Don't

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:39.880
<v Speaker 3>don't look at who is it? Don't look who I's it.

0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:46.719
<v Speaker 3>So talk got like more expensive reservations because people were

0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:50.360
<v Speaker 3>using prepaid bookings and dynamic pricing, so them how to

0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:53.880
<v Speaker 3>the restaurant. You would have to pay in advance to

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:58.839
<v Speaker 3>get the reservation. And this has now just become a thing,

0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 3>so people, you know, will be like, oh, I'll make

0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:04.200
<v Speaker 3>a rezie, which I've heard people say that, especially in

0:36:04.239 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 3>New York, but now that word is just like how

0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:09.319
<v Speaker 3>Kleenex is like, you don't say, oh, can I have

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:10.800
<v Speaker 3>a nose tissue?

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:12.440
<v Speaker 1>You say can I have a Kleenex? So they have

0:36:12.520 --> 0:36:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the brand.

0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Now, I mean, you couldn't pay me to say should

0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I make a RESI but it was reservation.

0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:22.360
<v Speaker 1>On the app.

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:26.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll be making a reservation on Rezi.

0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, because you're a woman of the people. Okay.

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 3>So to get a reservation at Yo, she knew, you

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:39.040
<v Speaker 3>have to book on the talk platform and pay a

0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:42.719
<v Speaker 3>five hundred dollars per person deposit that.

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:43.239
<v Speaker 2>You get back.

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:47.560
<v Speaker 3>The actual meal including tax and tip but not drinks,

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.680
<v Speaker 3>cost six hundred and forty six dollars per person, and

0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:55.200
<v Speaker 3>reservations become available thirty days in advance and noon Eastern time.

0:36:56.800 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, it hurts me about this.

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:03.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm so tired of things that used to be free

0:37:03.840 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 3>becoming money.

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:06.920
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy.

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy.

0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 3>This hurts me so much because of the fact that

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:15.239
<v Speaker 3>everyone's like, how can we make pay?

0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Everyone paid for everything all the time.

0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:22.960
<v Speaker 2>For going on the website, you're paying Like I.

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:24.839
<v Speaker 3>Was gonna go to the restaurant and pay anyway, and

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:27.040
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna to and I was gonna pay this

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 3>inflated cost of this food. But you're gonna make me

0:37:29.440 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 3>pay five hundred dollars before I even see the inside

0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:32.680
<v Speaker 3>of this old ass wood.

0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 2>But do you get the deposit back? It's just a

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:39.640
<v Speaker 2>deposit to make sure you go.

0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Technically, it's like it goes towards your meal, okay, except

0:37:46.480 --> 0:37:50.120
<v Speaker 3>for drinks, so it just goes towards They.

0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Make it confusing too, Yeah, and like.

0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:54.840
<v Speaker 3>The confusion is what's getting me on on a scam

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:57.120
<v Speaker 3>because it's like, how much is going towards my meal?

0:37:57.160 --> 0:37:59.279
<v Speaker 3>And how much of this is me paying for the

0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:02.400
<v Speaker 3>exclusivity to go to this place and then paying even.

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Six hundred and seventy six dollars.

0:38:06.800 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah for sushi, six forty six, Yeah for sushi. And

0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:14.080
<v Speaker 3>that's not alcohol. We ain't even got to the yamazaki

0:38:14.120 --> 0:38:18.279
<v Speaker 3>y it. We don't even got nothing. Okay, shit, we

0:38:18.280 --> 0:38:21.080
<v Speaker 3>don't got a soda water on the bill yet. And

0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:26.400
<v Speaker 3>that's six forty six per person off rip. So and

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:28.600
<v Speaker 3>you got a way, and you got a big and.

0:38:28.719 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna be hungry.

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Look, they gonna give you a tiny little bite, but

0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:34.400
<v Speaker 3>they gonna give you twenty one bytes.

0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:38.400
<v Speaker 1>That better be enough, and probably a little suit.

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Of two Burrows after right, yeah, this is a dollare game.

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Definitely a pregame meal place, or this is like a

0:38:45.480 --> 0:38:47.919
<v Speaker 3>model meal place, you know, where the girlies don't really eat.

0:38:49.360 --> 0:38:52.319
<v Speaker 2>I worked at a really expensive, like fancy restaurant in

0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:56.560
<v Speaker 2>the city and one of the menu items the menu

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.520
<v Speaker 2>was always changing, and one of the items was a

0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:04.000
<v Speaker 2>scalp one scallop mm hmm, and it was twenty five

0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:08.359
<v Speaker 2>dollars and order. I mean, I would be like, it's

0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:09.839
<v Speaker 2>the best scallop you're ever gonna eat.

0:39:09.880 --> 0:39:14.520
<v Speaker 3>You'll not thinking about the scallup, this one scallup.

0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:16.680
<v Speaker 2>But it was funny the different kinds of like there

0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:19.960
<v Speaker 2>would be people who would come in who would be like,

0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll have the scallops, and I'd be like, so it

0:39:23.840 --> 0:39:26.880
<v Speaker 2>is one one. And some people would be like, oh, okay,

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll have to like not even caring, and other people

0:39:30.000 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 2>were like thank you, you know.

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for telling us.

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:33.759
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I tried bringing it up in like a

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:40.560
<v Speaker 2>staff meeting and they were kind of like poo pooing

0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:43.080
<v Speaker 2>me for even caring about it, you know, But I

0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:46.160
<v Speaker 2>was like, we gotta tell these people. It's one fucking scallop.

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, though, I understand the pooh pooh. And here's why

0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:51.239
<v Speaker 3>I used to be like that.

0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Differ.

0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:54.839
<v Speaker 3>No, I used to be like that in these restaurants,

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:58.080
<v Speaker 3>and so people would start ordering things like you like

0:39:58.080 --> 0:40:01.480
<v Speaker 3>a Yamazaki twenty one hundred dollars a glass and it's

0:40:01.480 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 3>only an alix and a half poor, and I'd be like, okay,

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:05.080
<v Speaker 3>just so you know, it's a three hundred dollars poor,

0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:07.400
<v Speaker 3>and they would look at me and get mad at me,

0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 3>like why you think I'm poor?

0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Why you think I don't have it?

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, oh, yeah, well that's what I mean saying.

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:17.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, but if it were me, I would like

0:40:17.280 --> 0:40:17.919
<v Speaker 2>to know that.

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:22.880
<v Speaker 3>But the whole aesthetic two is also supposed to be

0:40:22.880 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 3>the assumption that you're so rich that these prices won't

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:29.799
<v Speaker 3>shock you. And so I now, Yeah, as a way

0:40:29.800 --> 0:40:31.800
<v Speaker 3>to sneak it, you can be like, it's a beautiful

0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:34.080
<v Speaker 3>one scallop and it's not this and that on it.

0:40:34.080 --> 0:40:36.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a beautiful it's and it's one.

0:40:37.160 --> 0:40:38.960
<v Speaker 1>No, but you gotta say it is all one thing.

0:40:39.040 --> 0:40:40.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a beautiful one.

0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:43.200
<v Speaker 3>You can't be like it's beautiful and also just a

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:44.240
<v Speaker 3>single scallop.

0:40:44.800 --> 0:40:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because a single scallop dish. Oh now we're hitting now.

0:40:49.320 --> 0:40:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Now the rich, now, the super rich people love it.

0:40:52.719 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 3>And then the people who might be a little bit

0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:57.080
<v Speaker 3>more reasonable about their money rightfully so they know it's

0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 3>a single scallop.

0:40:58.320 --> 0:40:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, I'm the saved tips.

0:41:01.840 --> 0:41:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I just want to relate to everyone, like when people

0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:07.239
<v Speaker 2>come into the restaurant, I like being like, I know

0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:10.160
<v Speaker 2>it's fucking crazy, but you know.

0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:14.200
<v Speaker 3>See, I'm more of a like in between because one

0:41:14.200 --> 0:41:16.839
<v Speaker 3>thing I don't enjoy is going into a high end place.

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:19.080
<v Speaker 3>And this happens a lot to me as a black woman.

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:21.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll go into a very expensive place and if you

0:41:21.120 --> 0:41:22.799
<v Speaker 3>can't clock my jewelry, if you can't clock what I

0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 3>got on, you may not know I can afford it,

0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:26.320
<v Speaker 3>because you're gonna think I'm poor because I'm black. I

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:28.080
<v Speaker 3>don't know where this assumption always has come from, but

0:41:28.400 --> 0:41:30.879
<v Speaker 3>you know that's that's the economic goal of white people

0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 3>is to keep us poor.

0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:33.319
<v Speaker 1>So if they see us not being poor, but like,

0:41:33.320 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 1>how you getting here? We gotta stop this.

0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:39.399
<v Speaker 3>So I've gone in places and the people who work

0:41:39.480 --> 0:41:42.000
<v Speaker 3>there are being all high falutin and snooty and bougie

0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:45.000
<v Speaker 3>to me and I'm like, bitch, you work here, I

0:41:45.040 --> 0:41:48.880

<v Speaker 2>To me, I'm like, it's one scallop girl.

0:42:18.160 --> 0:42:19.600
<v Speaker 1>No, that wouldn't offend me.

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:22.080
<v Speaker 3>The people who come in and they look down at

<v Speaker 3>me like totally sweetheart, like you know, or they don't

0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:26.759

<v Speaker 3>into the store because they're like, she.

0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't fell right.

0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, fuck you.

0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna buy a thousand dollars pants that I don't

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:35.680
<v Speaker 2>even want.

0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:38.359
<v Speaker 3>Actually, but I would only do that if I knew

0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.799
<v Speaker 3>how they return and worked a bunch of shit and

0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:42.960
<v Speaker 3>then just return it so you could lose your commission.

0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:44.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you have a commission just long enough to.

0:42:44.840 --> 0:42:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Think you own it, and then I'll come back in

0:42:46.600 --> 0:42:48.239
<v Speaker 3>the return period to fuck you.

0:42:48.280 --> 0:42:49.200
<v Speaker 1>That's how petty I am.

0:42:49.200 --> 0:42:52.759
<v Speaker 3>Don't play with me, and I'll make sure I coming

0:42:52.760 --> 0:42:54.400
<v Speaker 3>on your day all so you could be surprised.

0:42:58.160 --> 0:43:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm small. I'm sorry, but so I.

0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:02.919
<v Speaker 3>Understand what you're saying, and I'm completely with you because

0:43:02.920 --> 0:43:05.120
<v Speaker 3>this shit is ridiculous, especially when you think of the

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:12.439
<v Speaker 3>evaluation of what things cost like it's stupid, crazy rab run.

0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:17.399
<v Speaker 3>So in early twenty twenty three, the general manager there,

0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:19.600
<v Speaker 3>he got a tip from a regular customer that it

0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 3>was becoming impossible to get a seat at the restaurant.

0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Reservations were being scooped up and resold in a close

0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:30.360
<v Speaker 3>group on a Chinese social network e commerce site called

0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Red Node or Little Red Book. So somebody was using

0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:40.560
<v Speaker 3>the name when Winter's Weighing and other aliases to sell

0:43:40.640 --> 0:43:43.840
<v Speaker 3>reservations for an additional one hundred and eighty dollars per seat.

0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:45.360
<v Speaker 1>So they were going to get.

0:43:45.160 --> 0:43:48.319
<v Speaker 3>The reservation with the five hundred deposit right then they

0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:51.240
<v Speaker 3>were taking that reservation to another website.

0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:52.920
<v Speaker 1>And flipping it into six point eighty.

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Right, then you still gotta go to a restaurant and

0:43:56.680 --> 0:44:01.239
<v Speaker 3>paint at one and that's not drinks and clues. So

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:04.280
<v Speaker 3>somebody else has figured out a way to get in on.

0:44:04.400 --> 0:44:07.719
<v Speaker 2>This genius, right, it's genius.

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:11.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean it hurts me though, because it makes me

0:44:11.080 --> 0:44:13.600
<v Speaker 3>think about your foot flipper and how he was flipping

0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:13.960
<v Speaker 3>the picks.

0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:16.640
<v Speaker 2>And you did.

0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Say you liked it. You did say you liked it,

0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:19.959
<v Speaker 3>but I didn't liked that. She won't getting your cut

0:44:20.000 --> 0:44:25.840
<v Speaker 3>at a tone, No more so, Miami. The the restaurant managers,

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:28.600
<v Speaker 3>they wrote to TikTok or excuse me, I'm calling TikTok.

0:44:28.600 --> 0:44:29.440
<v Speaker 1>They can wrote to.

0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Top and they alerted them of the scalping that was happening.

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:37.319
<v Speaker 3>And she also got screenshots from the scalping website revealing

0:44:37.400 --> 0:44:40.200
<v Speaker 3>the methods that they were using to scalp these seats

0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:42.120
<v Speaker 3>at famous New York restaurants.

0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:45.919
<v Speaker 2>But how are people finding out? People are seeking out

0:44:45.960 --> 0:44:47.239
<v Speaker 2>the scalping website?

0:44:47.960 --> 0:44:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Yes, okay, and so regulars who perhaps were able to

0:44:53.440 --> 0:44:57.400
<v Speaker 3>call before, because once you have a rapport with a restaurant,

0:44:57.440 --> 0:44:59.040
<v Speaker 3>you don't have to use those apps anymore.

0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:00.880
<v Speaker 1>They know you're you know what we used to call them.

0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:05.840
<v Speaker 3>So if I got like a chit from the hostess

0:45:05.920 --> 0:45:08.640
<v Speaker 3>that said, like a very important like swanyer is coming in,

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:10.160
<v Speaker 3>that means that there's somebody who spends a lot of

0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:12.359
<v Speaker 3>money with us. There might be things on the chit

0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:16.319
<v Speaker 3>about their allergies, their preferences. Lino, Richie used to come

0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:20.040
<v Speaker 3>into our restaurant all the time and he isn't great

0:45:20.040 --> 0:45:22.560
<v Speaker 3>with chopsticks, and he's like, you know, I'm from Alabama, baby,

0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:24.440
<v Speaker 3>And so it got to the point where when I

0:45:24.640 --> 0:45:26.720
<v Speaker 3>knew when he was coming into the restaurant, I would

0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:30.760
<v Speaker 3>already have the chopsticks on the little kid things for him, totally,

0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:33.839
<v Speaker 3>the little clippers, like I would have his drink order

0:45:33.880 --> 0:45:36.879
<v Speaker 3>ready because like he you know. So, yeah, the Swans

0:45:36.880 --> 0:45:39.840
<v Speaker 3>were starting to be like, hey, I just usually call y'all,

0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:41.480
<v Speaker 3>and every time I try to call y'all, now y'all

0:45:41.520 --> 0:45:42.040
<v Speaker 3>booked up.

0:45:42.080 --> 0:45:42.799
<v Speaker 1>What's going on?

0:45:43.239 --> 0:45:45.120
<v Speaker 3>And so that's when she had the inkling to see

0:45:45.120 --> 0:45:48.319
<v Speaker 3>if there was someone else taking the reservations, because they

0:45:48.360 --> 0:45:49.840
<v Speaker 3>know what reservations.

0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:51.799
<v Speaker 1>They're getting from what websites.

0:45:52.520 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 3>And also, if you think about it, if I were

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:59.479
<v Speaker 3>to purchase the restoration under a fake name on talk

0:45:59.600 --> 0:46:03.120
<v Speaker 3>the real MX website, right, and then I go resell it.

0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I probably have to change the name on the reservation or.

0:46:07.120 --> 0:46:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Somebody or a bunch of different looking people keep coming

0:46:09.560 --> 0:46:12.279
<v Speaker 3>in as mister Wang. Like what if I showed when

0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:14.640
<v Speaker 3>I was like, hey Lacy, party of two or I'm like, yeah,

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:17.839
<v Speaker 3>it should be under mister Wang and Partia two. They

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:19.600
<v Speaker 3>could be looking at my black ass like who.

0:46:21.080 --> 0:46:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, no, no, no, y'all know I won't.

0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Come out mister Wang.

0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:29.200
<v Speaker 3>I've got a very complicated family. Okay, we got I'm adopted.

0:46:29.320 --> 0:46:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Like people are just coming in with the same person's

0:46:31.360 --> 0:46:33.480
<v Speaker 3>name or they're having to change the name. So it

0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:36.000
<v Speaker 3>makes sense that they got this evidence and so now

0:46:36.000 --> 0:46:40.720
<v Speaker 3>they're trying to stop what was going on. So wrapping

0:46:40.760 --> 0:46:45.160
<v Speaker 3>this up Winter's Wang, which is the fake name, who's

0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.560
<v Speaker 3>also me? I'm now Winter's Wang, a proud Asian woman

0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:53.840
<v Speaker 3>as I've always been. This person isn't the first or

0:46:53.920 --> 0:46:58.200
<v Speaker 3>the last dinner reservation scalper. In twenty twenty three, appointment

0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:04.040
<v Speaker 3>trader dot com sold for almost six million dollars in restaurants.

0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:08.560
<v Speaker 3>They sold almost six million dollars in restaurant reservations. Oh

0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:13.360
<v Speaker 3>my god, a part appointment trader dot com. Why have

0:47:13.400 --> 0:47:17.000
<v Speaker 3>I not thought of these things? So these these table scalpers,

0:47:17.040 --> 0:47:19.520
<v Speaker 3>now they have a name. They slang a table. They're like,

0:47:19.560 --> 0:47:22.400
<v Speaker 3>I got that table, I got that table. Could you

0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:25.120
<v Speaker 3>imagine going to a fancy restaurant and then there's somebody

0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:27.880
<v Speaker 3>standing outside, like in a trench, cable like table table,

0:47:28.040 --> 0:47:29.479
<v Speaker 3>tight table, party of three.

0:47:29.560 --> 0:47:31.879
<v Speaker 1>I got a party. I got a party of three

0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 1>at eight. What you want for what you want for it?

0:47:35.040 --> 0:47:36.280
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I hate a marathon.

0:47:38.200 --> 0:47:40.080
<v Speaker 2>You know what's a good hack? At the fancy place

0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:44.319
<v Speaker 2>they worked at. You can go in person and make

0:47:44.360 --> 0:47:48.400
<v Speaker 2>a reservation for the future, anytime in the future. And

0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 2>I do it in person.

0:47:50.520 --> 0:47:53.839
<v Speaker 3>And sometimes they'll have somebody drop out, and randomly you'll

0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:56.120
<v Speaker 3>get lucky and they have something that night. If not,

0:47:56.440 --> 0:48:00.080
<v Speaker 3>they'll give you something later. Yeah, that's a hack for

0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:02.359
<v Speaker 3>or if I'm on PR. Now, this is really gonna

0:48:02.360 --> 0:48:04.319
<v Speaker 3>make me sound away. It's not my fault. Sometimes I

0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:05.759
<v Speaker 3>will hit up my publicers and be like, can you

0:48:05.800 --> 0:48:06.840
<v Speaker 3>get me into this restaurant?

0:48:07.960 --> 0:48:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you live in New York? I?

0:48:10.560 --> 0:48:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, where are you?

0:48:12.440 --> 0:48:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Are?

0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:14.000
<v Speaker 1>You still in New York or where you at?

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah, yes, you still got the energy and the spirits,

0:48:18.680 --> 0:48:21.920
<v Speaker 3>so I figured as much. So yeah, they got all

0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:24.040
<v Speaker 3>types of websites and people who are doing this. But

0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:27.040
<v Speaker 3>now they got a hashtag that's going on. The hashtag

0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:30.919
<v Speaker 3>is like a group of Fridance bros. They started using

0:48:30.960 --> 0:48:34.280
<v Speaker 3>this hashtag in twenty twenty two called hashtag free resi

0:48:34.960 --> 0:48:38.200
<v Speaker 3>for a group chat based out of the encrypted messaging

0:48:38.239 --> 0:48:41.759
<v Speaker 3>platform Telegram. And they got busted. So they ain't got

0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:44.000
<v Speaker 3>a telegram and these are fat bros. They're gonna find

0:48:44.000 --> 0:48:47.279
<v Speaker 3>a way to rob us all. Like what like, what

0:48:47.400 --> 0:48:49.200
<v Speaker 3>is the fight? What's the stock market? What do they

0:48:49.200 --> 0:48:52.959
<v Speaker 3>add to the world? I don't know, No one does.

0:48:53.880 --> 0:48:57.000
<v Speaker 3>It's theph it's a casino. Ain't nobody ever been like

0:48:57.040 --> 0:49:00.160
<v Speaker 3>a Wall Street bro built my home? Like no, it's

0:49:00.160 --> 0:49:03.200
<v Speaker 3>more likely they bought your home and outpriss your neighborhood. Yes,

0:49:04.080 --> 0:49:06.600
<v Speaker 3>the holly do is destroyed. So of course they started

0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:09.000
<v Speaker 3>to do a telegram and having their own sketchy ass

0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:13.640
<v Speaker 3>rezie as well. Not shocked, right, So most of these

0:49:13.680 --> 0:49:16.600
<v Speaker 3>reservations that they were using on this like secret app,

0:49:16.600 --> 0:49:18.359
<v Speaker 3>because this is another one. This is a Telegram one

0:49:18.400 --> 0:49:22.080
<v Speaker 3>hashtag free RESI. These reservations fell between seven and nine pm,

0:49:22.280 --> 0:49:25.520
<v Speaker 3>and they targeted in demand tables at Michelin Star restaurants

0:49:25.600 --> 0:49:30.200
<v Speaker 3>like Bles Bardin and you know TikTok's favorite Saint Theo's,

0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:33.400
<v Speaker 3>So they're going for the ones that are really popular.

0:49:33.600 --> 0:49:35.719
<v Speaker 3>There were seven hundred people in the group when it

0:49:35.760 --> 0:49:39.920
<v Speaker 3>was shut down, including band members from The Chain Smokers

0:49:40.320 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 3>and Lost King.

0:49:41.680 --> 0:49:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, I will never listen to them again.

0:49:46.560 --> 0:49:48.880

0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:19.239
<v Speaker 3>the change. You know it's out there. It's crazy. It's

0:50:19.239 --> 0:50:21.680
<v Speaker 3>funny to me that they couldn't get reservations. So they

0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:26.279
<v Speaker 3>were also in there so many restaurants were still like

0:50:26.280 --> 0:50:29.120
<v Speaker 3>in twenty twenty two, requiring you to show a vaccination

0:50:29.280 --> 0:50:31.839
<v Speaker 3>card when you showed up to dine. Right, and maitre

0:50:31.920 --> 0:50:35.120
<v Speaker 3>GeSe noticed that the reservation name and the vaccine card

0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:37.279
<v Speaker 3>were different. So remember when I brought up earlier that

0:50:37.320 --> 0:50:40.920
<v Speaker 3>I was miss Wang. Everybody can't be miss Wang, especially

0:50:40.920 --> 0:50:44.080
<v Speaker 3>if your vaccination card is not the same. So Resi

0:50:44.239 --> 0:50:48.120
<v Speaker 3>deleted people's accounts so they So there were people who

0:50:48.160 --> 0:50:51.719
<v Speaker 3>created the telegram right our finance bros. Their names were

0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:53.759
<v Speaker 3>Cold sal and Steve. I don't really need to give

0:50:53.800 --> 0:50:55.239
<v Speaker 3>them too much credit. That's all we need to know

0:50:55.239 --> 0:50:58.200
<v Speaker 3>about them. But Resie was like, y'all gotta go bitious,

0:50:58.400 --> 0:51:01.280
<v Speaker 3>so deleted all of their accounts that they were using

0:51:01.320 --> 0:51:03.759
<v Speaker 3>to get these reservations, including ones that they use for

0:51:03.760 --> 0:51:05.960
<v Speaker 3>themselves personally. So now they can't even use rezzine no more.

0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:12.359
<v Speaker 3>They gonna got kicked off, they banned, getting banned from a.

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Reservation website, Like can we all be so serious and

0:51:14.680 --> 0:51:15.040
<v Speaker 2>for real?

0:51:15.719 --> 0:51:18.480
<v Speaker 3>And I'm gonna wrap it up with something that is

0:51:18.520 --> 0:51:20.520
<v Speaker 3>like a little bit of a pivot.

0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:23.120
<v Speaker 1>But before I do, I do want to let.

0:51:23.000 --> 0:51:26.960
<v Speaker 3>You know that Steve and Cole have comment when they

0:51:27.000 --> 0:51:32.200
<v Speaker 3>got deleted from Rezie. Right, So Steve said, there's always

0:51:32.239 --> 0:51:35.000
<v Speaker 3>going to be drawbacks when you disrupt something.

0:51:35.040 --> 0:51:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Of course you call the disruption.

0:51:39.360 --> 0:51:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Loser.

0:51:40.600 --> 0:51:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Loser.

0:51:41.239 --> 0:51:43.320
<v Speaker 2>You got caught, so actually you're a loser.

0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Also, what do you mean disrupt?

0:51:46.360 --> 0:51:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Like the word is such a weird, douchey term that

0:51:50.440 --> 0:51:54.000
<v Speaker 3>if I'm sorry, ladies, gentlemen, daising them's. If you ever

0:51:54.040 --> 0:51:56.200
<v Speaker 3>on a date with somebody they tell you they're a disruptor,

0:51:56.400 --> 0:51:58.160
<v Speaker 3>you better run your ass up out of there, okay,

0:51:58.520 --> 0:51:59.480
<v Speaker 3>because what do you mean?

0:52:00.160 --> 0:52:04.640
<v Speaker 2>They're not disrupting a rally, a far right rally, You're

0:52:04.640 --> 0:52:07.040
<v Speaker 2>disrupting a reservation website.

0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Like by disrupting, all you're doing is making the prices

0:52:10.239 --> 0:52:13.600
<v Speaker 3>more expensive. Like Uber called themselves disruptors when they first started.

0:52:13.840 --> 0:52:16.040
<v Speaker 3>What Uber did was they got a fuck ton of

0:52:16.239 --> 0:52:18.880
<v Speaker 3>VC capitalists to invest in the company so that they

0:52:18.880 --> 0:52:22.960
<v Speaker 3>could operate at a loss long enough to outprice everybody else.

0:52:23.440 --> 0:52:25.239
<v Speaker 3>So it was like they were so cheap that all

0:52:25.239 --> 0:52:26.600
<v Speaker 3>these other companies were out of business.

0:52:26.640 --> 0:52:28.840
<v Speaker 1>The cab drivers started killing themselves in New York.

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Like it was real shit, because cab drivers had like medallions,

0:52:31.480 --> 0:52:33.879
<v Speaker 3>and those things were a billion dollars to own your cab,

0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:36.760
<v Speaker 3>and like I felt bad for them, but I also

0:52:36.760 --> 0:52:38.399
<v Speaker 3>didn't feel bad because I've been hit by too many

0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:41.400
<v Speaker 3>cabs in New York City. And when I say clipped,

0:52:41.719 --> 0:52:43.960
<v Speaker 3>like clipped, like I opened the door and I'm leaving

0:52:43.960 --> 0:52:44.439
<v Speaker 3>my job.

0:52:44.520 --> 0:52:46.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like four am. I'm like, hey, I gotta go

0:52:46.040 --> 0:52:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to Brooklyn.

0:52:46.440 --> 0:52:48.040
<v Speaker 3>They're like, I'm not going to Brooklyn and they drive

0:52:48.080 --> 0:52:51.879
<v Speaker 3>off the doors still open. I'm like, ah, y'all should

0:52:51.880 --> 0:52:53.520
<v Speaker 3>have been nicer to me, you rag me bitches.

0:52:57.640 --> 0:52:59.600
<v Speaker 1>But like that's what disrupting is.

0:52:59.640 --> 0:53:02.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like subjugating the market and then making yourselves a

0:53:02.600 --> 0:53:05.279
<v Speaker 3>monopoly to where now Uber's like, who else you gonna

0:53:05.280 --> 0:53:05.840
<v Speaker 3>get a ride with?

0:53:06.120 --> 0:53:07.440
<v Speaker 1>It's us or a dui ho.

0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:10.000
<v Speaker 3>So do you want to pay one hundred and eighty

0:53:10.040 --> 0:53:13.640
<v Speaker 3>three dollars to go four blocks up this road home?

0:53:14.600 --> 0:53:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Or would you like to be in jail or worse?

0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:19.919
<v Speaker 2>Do you know about empowered? Do you guys have empower here?

0:53:20.400 --> 0:53:22.759
<v Speaker 1>No? But I want it now? What is I need

0:53:22.800 --> 0:53:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to get out of this hole that Uber got on me?

0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:29.920
<v Speaker 2>It's it empowers the driver so they make more money apparently,

0:53:30.680 --> 0:53:32.520
<v Speaker 2>or they get like a bigger cut of whatever the

0:53:32.600 --> 0:53:36.319
<v Speaker 2>ride is, but it's not like regulated by anyone. So

0:53:36.360 --> 0:53:39.000
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you'll get one guy that's like maybe fucked up

0:53:39.120 --> 0:53:41.600
<v Speaker 2>or it's not the best, but it's cheap.

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:44.600
<v Speaker 3>It's cheap also, so sometimes it might be risks that

0:53:44.640 --> 0:53:46.840
<v Speaker 3>we need to take and for what For what the

0:53:46.960 --> 0:53:49.200
<v Speaker 3>drivers get on Uber. If I have a driver who's

0:53:49.239 --> 0:53:52.360
<v Speaker 3>like nice and saying typically I do this with women,

0:53:52.560 --> 0:53:55.799
<v Speaker 3>or like black cars that I know like are very expensive.

0:53:56.280 --> 0:53:58.600
<v Speaker 3>If I really fuck with them, I'm like, hey, what's

0:53:58.640 --> 0:54:00.839
<v Speaker 3>your phone number, because i'll office with I have business, Yes,

0:54:01.280 --> 0:54:04.800
<v Speaker 3>and then you can drive me around the city, because

0:54:04.840 --> 0:54:06.680
<v Speaker 3>now we're both getting our money's worth.

0:54:07.280 --> 0:54:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:54:07.680 --> 0:54:09.120
<v Speaker 3>So but I hate that we have to do that,

0:54:09.160 --> 0:54:11.479
<v Speaker 3>and also I hate the risk involved in that because

0:54:11.520 --> 0:54:12.799
<v Speaker 3>now I really I'm just getting in a car with

0:54:12.840 --> 0:54:15.360
<v Speaker 3>a stranger with no accountability for what happens to me

0:54:15.400 --> 0:54:19.280
<v Speaker 3>because there's no app tracking it. Even though Uber doesn't

0:54:19.320 --> 0:54:21.920
<v Speaker 3>allow once you sign up for Uber, they don't allow

0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:24.080
<v Speaker 3>you to do like public court, like if you want

0:54:24.080 --> 0:54:25.800
<v Speaker 3>to assue, you have to do private arbitration.

0:54:26.280 --> 0:54:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Really, yes, And what.

0:54:27.600 --> 0:54:31.120
<v Speaker 3>That does is it shields Uber from the responsibility of

0:54:31.120 --> 0:54:34.680
<v Speaker 3>the public knowing what's happened in certain cars. Or even

0:54:34.800 --> 0:54:38.319
<v Speaker 3>statistics on you know, assault or or the driver being

0:54:38.400 --> 0:54:41.320
<v Speaker 3>intoxicated or whatever the case. But I have a sneaking

0:54:41.360 --> 0:54:43.520
<v Speaker 3>scam suspicion because every now and then Uber will send

0:54:43.520 --> 0:54:45.920
<v Speaker 3>out an email that's like, if you'll drive a drunk,

0:54:46.280 --> 0:54:49.279
<v Speaker 3>let us know, And I'm like, this, this is the

0:54:49.360 --> 0:54:51.440
<v Speaker 3>last thing I should be getting from the taxi service.

0:54:52.520 --> 0:54:55.280
<v Speaker 1>With your driver smoking crack support.

0:54:56.160 --> 0:54:57.600
<v Speaker 2>You can tell us.

0:54:58.480 --> 0:55:00.799
<v Speaker 3>It's not happening, but we just want to sure they

0:55:00.920 --> 0:55:02.520
<v Speaker 3>not smoking crackings.

0:55:02.840 --> 0:55:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about why we ask him. I'm a little confusion.

0:55:08.040 --> 0:55:11.120
<v Speaker 3>But so the DMV is also having a scalping issue,

0:55:11.160 --> 0:55:14.160
<v Speaker 3>and this wraps up our episode. I just wanted to

0:55:14.160 --> 0:55:17.120
<v Speaker 3>briefly touch on the fact that some states have passed

0:55:17.200 --> 0:55:20.600
<v Speaker 3>legislation attempting to stop this kind of reservation scalping and

0:55:20.640 --> 0:55:24.120
<v Speaker 3>to dismantle third party reservation services like appointment Trader. So

0:55:24.160 --> 0:55:26.560
<v Speaker 3>appointment Trader wasn't just doing restaurant appointment trading.

0:55:26.640 --> 0:55:28.720
<v Speaker 2>They were big on the scene.

0:55:29.160 --> 0:55:31.920
<v Speaker 1>They said, they said, you need a DMV appointment.

0:55:31.960 --> 0:55:33.960
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to wait appointment trader.

0:55:34.880 --> 0:55:37.360
<v Speaker 3>Could you imagine a scalper at the DMV pulling that

0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:40.759
<v Speaker 3>little deli ticket and just like rolling it out, take

0:55:40.800 --> 0:55:42.880
<v Speaker 3>it all the spots.

0:55:44.680 --> 0:55:45.600
<v Speaker 2>It's wild.

0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:48.440
<v Speaker 3>But New York was the first to shout out to

0:55:48.440 --> 0:55:50.960
<v Speaker 3>mom Donnie stand. New York was the first to pass

0:55:51.080 --> 0:55:55.200
<v Speaker 3>the Restaurant Reservation Anti Piracy Act, which bans third parties

0:55:55.200 --> 0:55:58.960
<v Speaker 3>from selling restaurant reservations without the restaurant's consent. The law

0:55:59.000 --> 0:56:01.960
<v Speaker 3>went into effect mid February, and California is working on

0:56:02.040 --> 0:56:02.799
<v Speaker 3>this same.

0:56:02.880 --> 0:56:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Thing, wasting our time. There are other issues we need

0:56:06.000 --> 0:56:07.319
<v Speaker 2>to be working way.

0:56:07.840 --> 0:56:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Why is there now?

0:56:08.600 --> 0:56:10.400
<v Speaker 2>We got to make an act. We got to make

0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:11.560
<v Speaker 2>an act right.

0:56:11.600 --> 0:56:12.400
<v Speaker 1>We need healthcare?

0:56:12.520 --> 0:56:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Why why are y'all bothering my my legislators with.

0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:22.440
<v Speaker 2>With DMVs Reservation Act? Oh my god, that's crazy. I

0:56:22.440 --> 0:56:25.960
<v Speaker 2>feel you imagining this was so informative and amazing.

0:56:26.760 --> 0:56:31.359
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, And you know, I'm hoping that people can

0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:34.480
<v Speaker 3>get what they deserve. And Florida, the DMV scalpers led

0:56:34.520 --> 0:56:38.120
<v Speaker 3>to people waiting in line overnight to renew their driver's licenses.

0:56:38.160 --> 0:56:40.600
<v Speaker 3>That's how bad it got because they couldn't afford to

0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:43.440
<v Speaker 3>scalp their way into the DMV. And the scalpers have

0:56:43.480 --> 0:56:45.680
<v Speaker 3>been selling these appointments from twenty five dollars to two

0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:48.440
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty dollars to go to the DMV to

0:56:48.440 --> 0:56:51.760
<v Speaker 3>pay the DMV money so that you can drive. Otherwise

0:56:51.800 --> 0:56:53.480
<v Speaker 3>you got to sleep outside like you're trying to give

0:56:54.040 --> 0:56:55.320
<v Speaker 3>concert tickets in the eighties.

0:56:55.840 --> 0:56:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand how that was happening there.

0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Because I mean, it's Flora, It's the wild wild West.

0:57:01.320 --> 0:57:04.440
<v Speaker 3>But it's been happening in Florida, New York, California, major

0:57:04.520 --> 0:57:07.160
<v Speaker 3>cities where I think DMB appointments are even harder to

0:57:07.200 --> 0:57:11.120
<v Speaker 3>get because our populations are so dense and everybody's going

0:57:11.120 --> 0:57:13.920
<v Speaker 3>at the same time, you know, either before work or after.

0:57:14.400 --> 0:57:15.840
<v Speaker 3>This is why I love being an actor, because I

0:57:15.840 --> 0:57:18.440
<v Speaker 3>can go random times of the day sometimes, which is

0:57:18.440 --> 0:57:22.720
<v Speaker 3>a blessing. But yeah, like, victims in Miami have filed

0:57:22.760 --> 0:57:25.760
<v Speaker 3>a class action lawsuit against the Florida Department at Highway

0:57:25.960 --> 0:57:32.560
<v Speaker 3>Safety and Motor Vehicles since scalping DMV appointments is technically

0:57:32.640 --> 0:57:35.960
<v Speaker 3>obviously illegal. But I can't imagine having to make a

0:57:35.960 --> 0:57:38.000
<v Speaker 3>class action lawsuit because I need to go to the

0:57:38.040 --> 0:57:42.120
<v Speaker 3>worst government place on earth world, Like if Disneyland is

0:57:42.120 --> 0:57:44.240
<v Speaker 3>the best place on worth, the DMV is the worst.

0:57:44.840 --> 0:57:45.040
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:57:45.160 --> 0:57:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I just had a really good experience at the DMV,

0:57:47.080 --> 0:57:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I got a real id. We're laughing. I'm laughing with

0:57:50.480 --> 0:57:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the lady at the counter, laughing with the camera lady.

0:57:53.320 --> 0:57:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Everyone was in good spirits.

0:57:55.560 --> 0:58:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Cool, that's beautiful, that's beautiful. That's what I like to see.

0:58:00.200 --> 0:58:02.200
<v Speaker 3>And that does bring us to the end of what

0:58:02.320 --> 0:58:05.760
<v Speaker 3>has been such a fun ride. Thank you so much

0:58:05.800 --> 0:58:07.520
<v Speaker 3>for being here. We always ask where do people want

0:58:07.560 --> 0:58:10.200
