It's 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.320 the Brooklyn Boys podcast, and we sometimes do make a 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.480 lot of noise and people love us for it. I 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.520 think that's why I'm giving you an ear plugs warning 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.400 today I will be making noise today. Are you really 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.360 hold on?

It's spelled really 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:46.159 is that where they go? It's a homophone. It's a 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:52.360 WHOA who's a homophone heroes everything. It's h E A 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:57.760 R O s here like here, like listen, okay, and homophone. 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.360 Let's remind everybody are two words that are sound the 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.320 same but mean different things. It's almost like a play 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.400 on words, a pun if you will, because I have 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.600 heroes from my ex girlfriend from two thousand six still 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.800 sitting in my medicine cabinet because I was the loudest 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.520 motherfucking snore on the pace of the planet. So I 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.640 still have a package of heroes. So I'm gonna get 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.119 those in time for the rant that's about to happen 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.759 later speaking of needing um ear plugs. I ranted about 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.680 this on my Walkers and Talkers podcast last week. There 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.240 was an episode of Walkers from two weeks ago where 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.880 the guy who uh, there's a new a new actor 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.280 on the show. He's only on one episode and he's deaf. 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.360 And at one point the bad guy hands the Milwaukee 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.080 talkie and says, call us if you see the girl. 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:53.120 The guy's deaf, so you handed him Milwaukee talking Even 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:54.600 if he could talk into it, he won't know if 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.600 you heard it. He won't know what. Okay. But then 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.720 to stop them, so he listens to music really really loudly, 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.880 like he blasts it in his house because he can 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.080 feel the vibration even though he can't hear it, he 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.519 can feel the house vibrating right, feel the vibration. So 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.720 at one point the bank marky Mark, thank you Marky Mark. 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.880 At one point, the bad guy Arno is outside the 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.840 house and he's blasting. To say, he blasts the stereo. 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.079 When the guy opens the door and he covers his 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.560 ears like, ah my ears, not believable. Arno is like 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.240 a heavy metal dude with like animal skins. Okay. Then 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.400 later in the episode he comes back to the house 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.200 to get into uh so he runs into the room 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.880 and locks himself in a room the good guy with 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.960 that with bagpipes that he had bought for his dead wife. 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.360 And when Arno tries to get into the living room 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.880 with the bedroom whatever it is, the guy inside the 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.120 room starts playing the bagpipes. They're not special bagpipes, scary, 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.359 they're regular bagpipes, right, not bagpipes a lot. But you 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.360 know we've been in rooms with like six police officers 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.280 playing bagpipes in the studio. It's not deafening. The guy 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.760 starts playing the bagpipes and they are no again. The 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:08.440 guy outside the bedroom door grabs his ears. Terrible writing. 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:13.679 Can you imagine bag pipes through a door? Make you 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.880 cover your ears and screen? No, no, no, no, I 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.520 will not be louder than the bagpipes. Well, I may 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.960 be loud right now because you fit to be tied. 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.480 Now you know what this is, because it's unfortunate because 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.680 on the big show we're broadcasting. See, I would say 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.760 that podcasting is narrowcasting because we could we could elaborate 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.040 and expand on things for minutes at a time, like 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.640 like we do and we are no stranger to that. 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.760 But on a big show, when you're broadcasting, you have 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.600 to reach many people and it's it's a live show. 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.680 Remember you may listen on demand, but it's intended to 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.000 be live, and it's in real time. It's happening as 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.240 people are on their way to work or where they're going. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.800 So we have to compound all of our senstances and 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.240 structure and everything. It's a small short person while also 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.880 remembering unlike the Brooklyn Boys where you're were you guys listening, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.560 You all agree with us most of the time, which 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.440 is why you listen, right, We're very opinionated and you 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.760 and I would say eight five nine cent a time 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.520 you agree with us. Every once in a while you'll go, hey, 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.840 gotta disagree with Scary on that, or hey, I gotta 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.560 disagree with Scary on that. But the reason why they 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.840 listen is because they are fans and they we all 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.120 have the same ideas to the Elvis Durand Morning Show. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.599 There's many people. There's three or four main people in total, 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.080 like twelve plus. We're all over the country. We're in 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.920 different markets, small, small towns, big cities, and no one's 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.320 going to agree on everything. But but furthermore, in a 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:45.240 broadcast situation, you have about maybe ten twenty thirty seconds 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.520 tops to get your point across, and a lot of 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:51.040 times because it's bite sized, I'm gonna call it fun sized, 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.920 like mini like you know, like the mini Three Musketeers. 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:55.560 You gotta get hit it and get you gotta hit 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.520 it and get it right, and you get You can't 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.160 David Brody the story and tell you what color of 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.280 the table clothes you do well, you can't dwell. So 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:02.720 and I was by the door. It was one of 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.640 those old doors with broken hinges. You know what I'm 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.680 talking around We all do our around the rooms in 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.560 the morning, which you were limited to thirty seconds us. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.080 But so am I around the room today. I just 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.760 wished my girlfriend Robin a happy birthday, by the way, 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.160 I love you, happy birthday. But yeah, we wanted to 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.440 go to this great restaurant which I thought was a 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.240 great restaurant, but apparently it's now. I'm gonna call it 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.440 a great sexy restaurant with shitty attitudes. That would be 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.040 our rooftop. I'm calling them right out. Our standing for 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.800 restoration hardware, which you guys know from the Malls is 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.080 the big heavy furniture company with the store that has 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.279 a restaurant. Well, says so, so they started this concept 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.599 where around the country they're opening our H rooftop restaurants 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.960 now at the top of the hardware store. They sure are. 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.840 So you took your your girlfriend who you love to 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.480 the to to eat on top of a hardware store, Well, 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.800 you couldn't a reservation at home Depot's restaurant. Okay. First 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.320 of all, First of all, before you go any further, 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:10.600 everybody google r H rooftop that they will and and 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.479 and look at the pictures and and and look at 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.560 all the food. It actually is. What they do is 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.200 they lease out the idea that they it's owned and 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.200 operated by the R Restoration here people, but but they 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.640 bring in food and dev people that are chefs and 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.160 everything like that. And by the way, their openings all 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.320 these all around the country. There's one in Miami. There's 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.840 one want to like a shrimp fra diavolo with a 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.000 wicker chair that comes with it, right exactly. It's actually 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.240 a really sexy place and a lot of people want 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:40.960 to go to them, and they're all over by the way, 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.840 they're they're in Houston, they're all over all through the 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.240 hard work store and go off like a spiral staircase. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.159 You Usually then they take a ladder from the hardward 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.680 on the outside. Usually it's a glass elevator. You go 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.760 into the lobby of the store. They try and get 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.840 you right there to buy some ship like Disney. Right, let'sen, 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.800 we're not talking about Ikea. We're talking about the very 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.200 spencive and fancy or restoration hardware. I would expect no 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.360 less from you. Go so okay, So, and how would 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.920 your father talk about restoration hardware? Oh, my father, forget it. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.160 He'd be like today, I don't have to spend two 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.520 thousand dollars on on a love seat. I don't love 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.000 a seat like that. I'm not paying two thousand dollars 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.440 for the seat. The rh rooftop usually features. They feature 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.200 our restoration hardware furniture in the restaurants, of course, and 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.800 it's really beautiful. It's a white couch for that. That's 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.440 not true, not true at all. Again, google the fucking pictures. 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.080 I'm not going into it that way doing it so 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:37.240 so now, because these are up the second franchise or 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.360 its chain, it's all over the country. It's okay, there's 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.720 one in New York City, specifically in the in the 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.400 area of the meatpacking District, which we know is if fancy, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:50.120 lower West side of Manhattan. Yeah, anyways, the Restoration Hardware 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.720 there is their anchor store, their flagship of the area. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.640 And sure enough they built an rh rooftop restaurant. I 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.240 think it was the first of its kind, and then 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.360 they started building them out around the country. Right. So 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.000 it's a hard reservation. Okay, So we were told, hey, 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.720 it's a hardware reservation. It's a hard way, it really is. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.720 We were told you the maximum amount of people that 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.280 you can you can go, you can do the reservation 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.400 for is six. It's a table of six, no more, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.320 because I don't know booths and things like that. Now 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.520 the squares and rounds whatever they do, twos and fours 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.040 and sixes. But you're not getting a table more than six. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:32.480 And I respect that Robin wants to do. But Robin 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.560 wants to bring twelve people out for dinner on Tomorrow night. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.319 So what do we do. I make a reservation is 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.760 a month ago. I make a reservation on an open 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:45.400 table for PM for six people. She makes a reservation 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.720 for six people at PM and now as the date 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.719 gets closer, but not on the night of when we 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.240 will be scrambling when we get there. I'm assuming you 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.000 requested the two reservations be near each other. That was 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.479 this this past Monday. I call up in the afternoon 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.079 before their dinner rush started, and I spoke to the 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.280 hostess on duty and I said, hey, I pled my case. 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.160 I said, look, I get it. I don't want you 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.559 to move furniture around because I know you can't put 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.439 more than six people at a table. However, we respect that. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.559 But we have two existing reservations for the same time 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.120 on the same night, for six people apiece. Can we 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.599 get Can we put the two tape? Can we be 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.920 close by each other? Can you do an adjacent cy 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.959 or Now, Brodie, if you were planning the dining room 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.640 for Saturday, April nine, and you were part of that crew, 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.400 and you know that you had a special request put 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.280 in the monday before because it was a special birthday celebration, 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.000 which I told them, by the way, did not use 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:49.280 the Scary Jones flex or Elvis Durant. I was Anthony Scary, 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.800 the fucking common man customer. Okay, people, maybe I should have. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.320 This is how you get treated everyone, if you're if 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.720 you're everyday person, Okay, this is how you get treated. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.840 And this is why I'm pissed because I didn't want 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.760 to use my name because that would have been besides 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.599 the point. I want to say how they treat everybody, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.840 and this is how they treat everybody. Joe Joe Joe public. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:16.479 They said, oh, I'm sorry, we can't make an accommodation 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.760 for having, um, you guys even close UoT, we can't 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.760 guarantee that you'll even be on the same side of 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.199 the restaurant. In fact, in fact, more often than not, 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.560 reservations like this split up into two parties are nowhere 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.600 near each other in the restaurant at all. And I said, 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.880 so let me get this straight. If you're planning the 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.079 floor for that Saturday as a hostess or a manager, 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.920 a floor manager, and you have the diagrams in your 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:48.720 freaking computer, I said, why can't you you know, maybe 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.440 the two tables of six that started put the two 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.120 tables at six of six people at six pm, and 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.599 then when you do the flip over, we'll we'll be 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.480 next to each other, we'll be near each other, will 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.280 be nearby. No, we can't do that. They In fact, 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.319 she took such exception to it. She wanted to know 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.560 who told me that it was okay. She was gonna 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.280 do her own investigative like reports back to her bosses 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.240 because she was so upset that somebody would have even 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.120 suggested this to me. And I said, well, I'm not 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.120 here to get anybody in trouble or who suggested it 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.880 or not. I said, we made two legitimate reservations on 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:25.640 open table. Well, we're sorry, sir, we cannot We can't 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.839 help you. So that's the full story. I didn't want that. 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:34.480 Let's be clear. I don't want them to move furniture around. Okay, 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.439 this was not about moving chairs and tables. Don't give 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.840 me that. Don't give me that. I know people are 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.640 thinking that I work in the restaurant industry and Scari 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.800 is being a difficult pastord. No I'm not. All I'm 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.719 asking me to do is just think a little on 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:51.760 and not be so fucking lazy that you can't figure 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.120 away to make two parties of six near each other. 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.559 At That's all I'm asking. And all I would do 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.199 is require you to when you do your layout for 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.840 the day of tables have it coincide. It doesn't matter 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.360 if I'm gonna sit, you know, it doesn't matter if 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.040 one people gets you know, get seated at you know, 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.440 forty five and the other guy gets it at nine 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.480 o'clock and we have to wait. I get that. I 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.559 get that. But you can get it close enough. It's 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:22.679 not rocket science. But they couldn't be bothered because they 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.520 they're and and this woman was going in on me 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.719 and telling me I was doing the wrong thing. So 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.800 fuck you Restoration Hardware, RH Rooftop, you know, the restaurant, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:37.880 and we took our business elsewhere. Now. People on the 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.640 text messages when I mentioned this in the around the 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.200 room today took exception to this because I only had 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.679 twenty seconds to explain myself and they're saying that I'm 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.000 being in considerate. They called me. One person called me 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.640 a Karen, you know. But the truth of the matter 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.599 is if you're in the services industry and you're in 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.559 the hospitality, you're supposed to be hospitable to the customer. 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.319 This goes back to the very beginning Broody. What we 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.719 speak about about being it's it's reciprocal. Obviously, you want 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.040 to be a good customer, But it's also about how 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.719 great is your place? Are you going to make some 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.679 accommodations to try and make people as comfortable as possible? 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.040 And this place chose the the other road on to 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.480 as to not to do that, which means that they 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:23.520 don't give a fuck about people? Am I out of line? Um? 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.800 All right, so I'm gonna I'm gonna play devil's advocate 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.319 because that's my role here. Obvious. I I completely understand 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.760 the frustration. I would be completely frustrated beyond belief, but 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.840 I saw let me. Let me run through my questions 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.199 unless I missed it. Did you ask to speak to 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.400 a manager who could either override and and okay? The 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.199 manager said no chance either? The manager, Uh, there was 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.240 not around. There was no manager to talk to. I 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.080 spoke to right, But you just speak to a manager. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.079 So I would have followed up with a manager. What 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.280 time would be a good time to call the manager call? 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.199 So far, you're you're not disagreeing with the fact that 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.959 I'm not I'm not asking for something that's completely like 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.599 a Karen move, right, Am I? Or am I? Well? 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.520 First of all, I think part part of the fault 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.040 lies in your girlfriend. She should have six friends too 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.679 many people. She's popular. Yeah, well, I know, but you're 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.760 throwing the party. You should you should, you should have 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:23.040 made and we made legitimate reservations through the open table 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.000 app a month ago. So we were the first one 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.000 in the ones in. We technically if you're seating, if 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.640 you're doing the seating charts, you you know we were 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.640 the We were like right next to each other. We 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.040 we we literally put it in at the same time. 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:40.480 So shouldn't they love me? And and they don't? You know? Again? Okay, 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.200 So I don't know how the layout of the restaurant is. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.600 It's they sit two people at a time. Okay, okay again, 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.120 Okay again. I don't know if there's columns in the 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:48.680 middle of the floor. I don't know the layout of 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.640 the floor. I don't know the floor plan. Here's what 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.560 I do know. I'm a family of five. Right when 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.080 we would go to like p F. Chang's, I'd have 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.000 to hold out for the corner the round corner booth. 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.240 Otherwise you have to sit at a table for four 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.440 and jam it in, or wait for two tables near 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:04.920 each other to push them together at a table for 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.160 eight and then sit there and again, I'm not asking 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.640 them to push anything together in this case. All we 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:16.760 wanted and they might have tables for six, in other words, 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.840 round tables, right, But they only may have one round 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.560 table in one corner of the place around table in 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.880 the other corner. They may not have tabletops for six 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.120 anywhere near each other. So it would involve them lifting 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.640 the table, moving tables. We don't want that. I never 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.240 asked for that. So you could go six, four and 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.680 four whatever. No, I've seen the layout of the restaurant. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.240 It's all square tables, and it's all booths, booths and 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.440 square tables. Two's fours and sixes and then but in 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.040 order to in order to put the two you want 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.400 to give you a table for six, they gotta make 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.040 a table of eight. It doesn't matter the two the 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.760 banquets are butted up against each other. The two bank 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.080 at that this this bankaets in a row that all 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.240 accommodates six. And you have to take my word for 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.480 it that the fact is that that there is no weird, 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:04.480 oblong weirdness of the of the It's a traditional rectangular 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:09.560 layout with squares and rectangular tables and they and banquettes 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.280 and boots and and individual tables and but tables, but 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.880 tables in rows and things, whatever it is. It's completely doable. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.040 But my problem lies with the fact that she was 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.120 so lazy that she didn't want to make that She 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.680 didn't want to, you know, turn a negative to a positive, 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.920 or she didn't want to actually help in any kind 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:35.560 of way. She's like just dismissive, flippant. She was flipping 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.800 on the fire like that flipp It is never good. 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:39.520 The only thing I would say is I don't know 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.600 if it's lazy, or maybe she was told the rules 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.800 we can't guarantee and she doesn't know how to make exceptions. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.040 She's so rigid in her training. She only knows, well, 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:51.560 we're not allowed to do that, we can't do that, 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.160 or I've never seen that done before. So I'm gonna 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.040 tell you what I know. She should have said, I'll 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.880 have my manage to call you because you're gonna spend 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.480 three thousand dollars on dinner. I probably should have the 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.639 manager call you. I would think that's important enough that 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:10.520 she should have somebody get back to you, she should say. Instead. Instead, 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.439 she started airing their own dirty laundry within the company, 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.240 and she wanted to go on a witch hunt to 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.360 see who which employee. She was literally gonna wrap someone 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.320 out in her own organization. I said, I'm not giving 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.200 you names. What did you want to write out? What was? 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.160 Because I told her that we called, which we did 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.000 earlier in advance, and they said, hey, the way to 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.440 do this is to do two sixes because people call 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:34.359 with parties. No, that's the truth. Truth. You know, we 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.960 called in the daytime before we made our reservations, and 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.600 and then we made the reservation. We ended up making 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.160 them online. But she she's, I need to know the name. 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.080 She's what phone number did your girlfriend call from on 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.680 that day? I said, whoa, whoa? She called while she 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.600 was at work and it was just a tip from 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.919 one of the people here. I'm not getting anyone in trouble. 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.480 But she was like, well, we've had this happened before. 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.240 And then she started telling me it was storytelling time 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.159 where she's like, one time we had a bunch of 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.240 moms come in with a bunch of fourteen year rolls 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.800 and they did this very same thing and we couldn't 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.760 seat them together, so and then they were crowding around 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.480 the table, standing up talking to each other and it 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.720 became disruptive. And I get that it's disruptive to your 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.480 dinner service. You want to have run an efficient dining room. 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.440 But man, oh man, to just start with the no 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.920 and just now digging is is just all the wrong. 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.000 She she did everything wrong with me on the phone 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.639 after I called by the way on a Monday for 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.879 the Saturday coming up, telling her I already have this 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.040 existing reservation for a month. Now here we are the 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.879 week of I'm coming in Saturday. I don't want to 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:41.719 hit you with this. When I get there Saturday night, 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.560 I say, fuck that. I said, that is all kinds 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:46.720 of awful. And I don't you know me, I don't 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.200 complain about shit, you know me. I'll take a lot. 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.320 I take a lot of I have a very long 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.600 rope when it comes to this stuff. But whatever, dude, 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.160 I'm good. We're not going there. We're doing our own thing. 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.119 Um and and and and and that's all I have 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.080 to say about that. But the people that were against 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.359 me only heard, they only have half the story, and 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.600 all making assumptions about everything else, and and that got 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.560 me angry. I'm not gonna lie. I got pissed because 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.240 we really didn't dwell on it on the air, and 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.800 we couldn't because we do a broadcast. But here we 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.199 can go. I can give you my full explanation as 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.199 I just did, and I think I could come up 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.959 for air right now. I think you I hearing the story. Uh, 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.240 they couldn't. Look if a manager told you they couldn't 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.280 do it, I would say, yeah, the manager's not making 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.280 the effort, because I would hope the manager would explain why. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:36.639 Here's why right because we have to split the split 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.520 the weight staff up because I'd have to put one 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.800 way or a waitress from another part of the problems. 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:43.960 Say you used to work in the dining rooms like this, 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.760 and you used to draw the lines before they were computers, 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.040 had yet a read a red grease pencil and you okay, 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:55.320 So so explain to me. Aside from the the we 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.960 don't put parties. You don't normally put two large parties 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.520 for one way or away tress. So I'll just say server, 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:03.879 you would give one party six to one server, one 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:05.679 part of server. But if you put if you put 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.399 them together, but if you put them together in a corner. 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:10.760 Now you're asking a server who might be working in 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.639 the middle of the room to come over into the corner. 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:14.560 They keep making a trip back to the corner. It's 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.480 a little trickier, but it could have been worked out. 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.520 I would like to store, you think, by the way 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.000 you think it in a hardware store. They'd be able 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:24.959 to fix the problem. You see what I'm saying there, 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.879 Fix the fuck you and your booge restaurant. I wouldn't 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:33.119 have gone there in the first place. And do you 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.119 feel better now? That felt good? I got that off 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.879 my chest. Yeah. Boy, you complain at restaurants, so I 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:43.800 don't know. Yeah, because you know me, all right. Just 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.280
