WEBVTT - #232: Ticketbastard 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:08.400 Start up, start Up, Brooklyn Boy, start up, Brooklyn Boys, 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:16.720 do up. They're making noise data dot up, Episode two 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:21.239 two of the Brooklyn Boys podcast. It's a palindrome, yeah, 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:25.079 two three two, And you're saying it backwards and forwards. 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.240 Uh that was that was backwards? Okay? I thought, so 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:33.159 that's it sounded that way. Yeah? Yeah, what laate a second? 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:39.040 What about um? When words like sons look the same 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.000 backwards and forwards, is that a palindrome as well? S 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.680 s O n O S. Yeah. Drome is brilliant name 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.680 for a company who discovered that, like so nos because 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:53.199 it's like sonic, like like sonar s O n O S. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.240 And then no matter which way you flip them, you 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.520 could you could go upside down with it. You could 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.200 go left to right, right to let it looks the same. 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:07.920 The word looks the same, right, phenomenal phenomena, phenomena. It's 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.720 the words. It really is. Wait, if you turn it 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.520 upside down, is it look the same. So let me see, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.800 I have the app right here, Yep, upside down, yep, 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.760 upside down yep. That's crazy. I have then sapp on 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.520 my phone, so I just turned my phone over. That's awesome. Um, 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.520 sorry I'm late signing on today. Yeah, I mean did 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.560 the usual. Uh oh, my food's late. I'll talk to 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.800 you in a half hour. Well, I've just been going 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:36.160 through the worst of times with these the worst of 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.720 times with apps, I know, first word problems. Shut up, 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.400 I'm not well, no, no, no, I'm like, you know, 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.680 like the documentaries, these were the worst of times. They 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.119 were the best of time. No. But someone out there saying, oh, yeah, 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.120 you and your problems with the way with food first, 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.720 first world problems. Well, well here's what happened. Right. So 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.040 there's just this one of these new apps, Caviare, I 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.640 think they're they're a division of door Dash, same crap, 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.280 same way, the grubhub and seamless to the same and whatever. Anyway, 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.960 so the other day I ordered this is yesterday, I 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.040 ordered food from Caviare and uh and I'm like, okay, uh, 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.000 make sure you deliver it, you know, the right way. Here. 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.239 I was in touch with the Dasher, you know, the 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.960 dad they called the Dash, not to be confused with 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.240 Ken Dash hell on Q four three in New York. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.480 Who calls himself the dasher or or the reindeer? Right, 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.520 So I guess the Reindeers more popular then ken okay, 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.160 I would say so so so, So all of a sudden, 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.680 the food gets delivered and they take a picture, you know, 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.079 they take a picture of your package Amazon and whatever 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.600 and all that he was taking a picture of my package. 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.080 They take a picture of like Amazon takes a picture 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.200 to show proof that they left it at your doorstep 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.440 with with with Caviare they endoored dash. They take a 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.600 picture of where they left the food. And right away 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.960 I opened the app. There it was the message from 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.079 the dasher and a picture, and it was like it 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.480 was not my door or any door that looks like 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.359 any door in my building. And I'm like, don't they 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.760 went to the wrong address. So I said, no, this 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.639 is not me, this is not where I live. This 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.280 is so what do you think I do? I immediately 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:15.520 complain and screenshot. I screenshot the wrong address and our 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:20.000 and our little uh text message dialogue, and then I 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:24.120 cut it off right before they said I cropped it 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.160 on the screenshot right before they said, okay, I'll deliver it. 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:28.639 I'll go back and pick it up and deliver it 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.160 to you. And I and I said that to Caviare, 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.320 I'm like, yo, what up, like what's up with this? 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.280 And you're like, oh, we'll give you a full refund 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.480 for your entire dinner and and then we're gonna give 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.560 me ten dollars in credit. Hold on, but wait, but wait, 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.400 but then the dashes shows up in my house with 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.480 the food. So I get to eat the food anyway, 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.160 which was which was sushi, and so it wasn't like 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:55.960 it was getting cold or anything like that. It was 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.800 every day. Are they gonna take away your credit? You're 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.760 gonna make sure you keep that credit? No they no, no, no, no, 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.320 I I kept the refund. Suck them. I didn't even 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.040 tell no, no, I ate you free that night that 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.280 because if they asked to ask the driver, the driver 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.880 may go no. I I delivered it even though whatever 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.440 it was, I got that refriended. So and then my 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.080 eighth for free last night and a ten dollar credit 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.159 incentivized me to go back into the app tonight to 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.160 order more food from that place. And how did that go? 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.880 And forty eight minutes later was starting. That's exactly what happened, Brody. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:32.080 It was late, late late the restaurant, the restaurant didn't 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.000 put the order in, so the dasher showed up at 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.960 the restaurant and texted me and said, hey, we have 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.760 a problem. You ordered this food twenty five minutes ago. 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.400 I'm here to pick it up, and the restaurant didn't 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.560 see your order, Like, how do you? How do you 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.560 funk that up? Now it's on the restaurant, I mean, 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.280 how do you? But I didn't complain. Well, you how 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.160 to get the podcast started? But what's my argument there? 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.520 I mean my food was an hour and a half late, 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.240 no doubt. Yeah, well you backed up your whole life. 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.640 You tell me you fu damon Brodie over. I think 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.359 that's gotta be worth something. I think I'd like some 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.320 free food now. That was affect. I was affected by this, 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.440 So tell him you want you want to get card 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.640 or something, and you want also one for me. I 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.360 can just picture the receipts being spit out all the orders, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.320 and my order gets spit out and it falls into 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.200 a fucking garbage bail. As long as your food is 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.200 not being spit out, you don't want that to happen. No, 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:23.800 but you know what I'm saying, Like, how does the 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:28.040 restaurant miss an incoming order? I mean, I guess there's 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.039 nobody there asleep at the wheel. You know, you know, 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.400 I don't know, but you know what I were You're 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.839 talking about, um, you know, staffing, maybe they're short staffed. 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:42.560 So uh, my wife says to me, Hey, Sunday, why 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.880 don't we go to this place in such and such town, 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.200 this Italian restaurant, and we'll go there for dinner. Did 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.719 I tell you the story? Uh? I did? So I called, 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.640 I called, and I called up to make a reservation 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.200 for Sunday at five o'clock. And the woman who answers 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:04.279 the phone says, um, yeah, so a table for two, Yeah, 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.400 we can do a table for two. Um, but we 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:11.840 don't have a waitress, so there's no one to serve you. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.080 So I said, um, wait a minute, there's no one 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.760 to serve me. So do I serve myself? Do I 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:20.800 go to the window and run my own food? What 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.640 are we talking about? And she just no, What what 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:28.039 happens is you can, Um, you can take the food 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.359 to go and then unpack it and sit at the 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:34.840 table if you want. That's classless. And I and what 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.800 do I tip myself? How do I get a drink? Well? 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.520 You know, uh, you can you can access to the 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.080 water tower and refill your water glasses if you want, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.279 I said, are you sure? She goes We have no 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.359 staff coming in on Sunday, no waitress, I said, is 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.320 that on purpose? No? She she called out. So on 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.920 a Sunday, an Italian restaurant has one server, and she 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.719 called out, so I can take my to go food. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.680 I said, you know what, We're gonna go to a 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.520 different place. No offense, Yeah, no offense, No imagine would 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.919 you do that? Like, I feel bad for them, but 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.160 if I want to pack it up, the option don't 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.280 open for the day because the servant didn't show up. 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.360 At least it can make some money. I mean, it's 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.520 tough out there right now. They can't find people who 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.280 work these shifts. They can't. Absolutely. I was just surprised 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.840 you didn't say, like, hey, it's to go only well shoes. 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.760 On the other foot, you can pretty much demand what 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.000 you want. You can get paid a higher, much higher rate, 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.000 you know. I mean the power is in the hands 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.880 of the worker at this point. If you ask me, no, 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.080 not so much. The problem is there's so many people 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:43.440 looking for some jobs right and there's so many better 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.440 jobs that people don't want to do the jobs they 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.160 used to do. That's what I'm saying. But so the 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.480 people that have those jobs, that still have them, they've 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.160 got a lot of power if you ask me, and 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.720 they could they could demand that. That waitress who called 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.040 in on Sunday said, you know what, if you don't 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.680 double my salary, I will come in next week either 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.520 and then you've got nobody for next weekend, like like 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.680 you can actually or maybe she has for a raise 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.200 and they said, get the funk out. Could be we'd 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.360 rather go to go only. So hey, uh, I don't 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.440 know what you do in this situation, but I was 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.160 offered a free steak dinner. Sound familiar. Oh, well, then 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.480 you're gonna wait twelve years. Well no, let me see you. No, 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.320 I'm sorry, I mean I'm gonna correct you. Um, it's 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.520 actually ten years. We are at the ten year anniversary, 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.520 I believe of the steak dinner. Roughly yeah, roughly. Well, 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:41.000 our friend Gandhi was invited by Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Oh 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.600 I was there last week. Yeah. Oh I've got the room. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.079 Thank you for reminding me. I've got a roots Chris story. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.440 You go first.

They said, Gandhi, bring two of your friends, 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.800 and she chose our friend Cheryl Crowley and myself and 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.880 me me, and then the three of us went yesterday 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.560 because she's famous or she put her name in a hat. No, 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.840 that's exactly it. What's the catch? She's a regular there 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.640 with Cheryl and I sometimes join and then from going 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.720 in every week. They said to her, Hey, look on 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:50.040 this day on Wednesday, on Tuesday, feel free to come 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.040 in on this date at six o'clock.

All she didna do was 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.880 go pick it up. The poor, the poor thing, but well, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:41.720 the poor all of us, because now I'm roped in 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.760 and she's texting me and Cheryl at the tables like 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.200 I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I roped you into this. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.560 I had no idea. Of course you had no idea. 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.319 We wouldn't have shown up, I don't think, but you 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.360 gonna ask questions and just like, oh, come for a 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.440 free dinner. It gets worse. It wasn't even a full dinner. 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.560 It was It was literally a buffet where they just 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.920 took the bunch of fileton, chopped it up and put 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.160 it under a French fry lamp and then a CHICOUONERI 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.440 board next to it and said go help yourself, and 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:14.880 I'm like what what, Oh my god, the booze bastard 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.240 inside of you must have been dying. Well, um, steak 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:23.400 under a heat lamp. Here's the worst part. Well, fifteen 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.400 minutes before that, I had a chance to go out 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.040 with my other friends to go to dinner. And I 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.679 was like, laying in bed. I'm like, I don't even 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.120 know if I want to go. And then Gan he's like, 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.200 just come, just come. I said, all right, I'm just 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.280 gonna put on some pants and walk up the block 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.400 because that's all it required. And I'm like, all right, oh, steak, 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:44.080 you know steak. And I'm sitting there thinking like, okay, 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.280 this is gonna be great, until it was it was okay, listen. 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:48.920 I will say at the end of the day that 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.400 it was very interesting to get into a conversation, an 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:57.600 intellectual conversation about wine. But they obviously wanted to steer 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:02.480 us in the direction of this cific brand. And what 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.840 was the brand? Staggs Leap. Never heard of it, Oh, 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.560 it's very famous brand. Well, first of all, stags Leap 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:14.400 is from the stags Leap region of Napa Valley, California, 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.000 and there's several different stags Leaps brand, but this was 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.800 a stag Leap stags Leap wine seller. By the way, 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.520 have you have you done Nappa with Robin? No? Okay, 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.120 because we're sitting I'm gonna tell you about the dinner. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:26.960 But we were sitting at the wine dinner last Wednesday, 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.160 and my wife says, you know, we really should plan 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.640 a trip to Napa. Yeah, oh okay, so I got 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.880 him now. She said, I wish someone would play just 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.440 it's actually what you said was gosh, it's so much effort, 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.040 but I wish someone would plan a trip to Napa 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.679 for me. And I'm thinking, who else is going to 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.160 do that? Of course it's me, like, of course, you know, 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.840 so that's that's apparently now on my list. Well, so 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:53.679 I'll say this, um, the you know Robin and I well, well, 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.520 actually no, sorry, Gandhi and I and Cheryl. We were 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.800 sitting there. We we talked about this wine. We you know, 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:04.560 we gave out raining how he felt about no, no, no, no. 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.840 They had a moderator at each table. There was a 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.760 bi orator asking us questions, showing us different label versions 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.640 of what they want to do with the brand going forward. Wow, 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.760 my wife would have loved it. It It was called the 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:20.080 wine is called Artemist. It's their top selling Stag's Leap wine. 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.600 H And at the end of the night, to be 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.440 all kidding aside, it was educational and it was fun 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.280 and I felt like my input meant something and I 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.040 do drink Stag's leap Artemis, So it was kind of 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.000 hurt you drink a glass of wine ever, absolutely and 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:37.440 uh and that you're a hard liquor guy, and so 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.560 I know, but I sometimes I like wine to start 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.480 my night right or at least with an Italian meal. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.080 What I mean when you when you're pre gaming with 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.880 the girls before you go out. Yeah, with my Brie 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.880 and my crackers. Is that her name Brian Crackers And 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:57.120 that's the new podcast. That's a new podcast on Barstool 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.800 Easy to spin off, Brian Crackers. Crackers. Well, I'll say 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.600 all I'm gonna say is I'm trademarking that right now 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.520 for by the time you guys hear this, it's trademarked 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:14.240 done too late hashtag Brien Crackers. Uh. So I'll say this, Um, 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.720 we were tricked. Um. I don't use it on fall 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.200 for stuff like this. But Gandhi was in control, and 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.240 all I did was say yes, yes, I'll show up. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.760 But she felt stupid because she's like, oh my god, 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.000 I can't believe this. I got tricked again. But but 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.240 people and slices, you should know this. It's like, if 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.680 it's too good to be true, it probably is right, Like, 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:39.400 I mean, you were advertised free dinner. We thought we 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.360 were getting like this six course amazing meal with a 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.400 wine pairing at each course, and we get to talk 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.120 to the monk, talking amongst ourselves. Instead we got a 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.520 three hour conversation with microphones in our face and questionnaires 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.160 and people scribbling things up on a piece of paper 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.840 while we're having a conversation over French fry lamp file 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:04.320 at Mignon and charcuterie. Yeah, so that's what I got. 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.120 So we got whatever. It was still free, and if 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.760 it's for free, it's for me. Let me ask you 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.520 a question while we're still on this topic real quick. 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.240 I know you wanna, you wanna. We gotta take a break. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.760 But let's say hypothetically you asked to go to the 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.280 free dinner, right, they called you and they said, scary, 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.720 we'd like you to come and bring two friends. Let's 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:26.520 say hypothetically the seventeen people you asked before me weren't available, Okay, 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.840 and then as number eighteen, I'm going right, So you 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:34.000 and I go and we have this meal. Would you 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.280 then once again claim that you gave me my free 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:41.400 steak dinner? Literally, Yes, fuck you hit the button with 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.000 B and Scary'll tell you about my steak dinner, my 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.960 wine dinner. So every I don't know. Every few months 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.760 Ruth's Chris, and they explained it again. Why it's Ruth's 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:58.240 Chris uh and Chris Steak and it was Christ Ruth. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.640 Ruth bought it and it burned down. But when she 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.240 wanted to reopen it in another part of New Orleans 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:07.480 or New Orleans, New Orleans, Uh, she wasn't legally able 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.280 to call it Chris's Steakhouse. So since she owned it, 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:14.800 she called it Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and our master. Okay, 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:21.760 So they do these wine tasting dinners, legitimate ones. Whereto, Yeah, 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.800 not that, not that, which is better pepsi or coke? 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.080 Thing you did? And what they do is they give 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.080 you like a five course meal, like a small plates, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.479 and they match up a wine by whatever wine company 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.760 is sponsoring the dinner. We've done prisoner wine this particular 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.280 week was Camus c A y m U. I'm very 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.359 familiar with Camus. It came up in our conversation and 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.800 our focus group. Yes, in fact, the Camus vineyards make 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.840 a lot of wines that a lot of people listening 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.160 may have had, so look them up there. They're also 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.879 very high end. Yeah, well they're they're also medium end. 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.560 They have medium and high end. Okay, So I decided 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:56.879 I'm not I'm not the drinker. So I ordered off 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.639 the regular menu and my wife had the five course 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.560 meal and with the five glasses of wine, with the 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.000 half glasses of wine, we had a wait, a wonderful night. 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.520 At the end of the night. When we first walked in, 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:13.080 I should say, there's a poster on the wall and it's, um, 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.080 I don't know, crooked walker or something. It's something walking fool, 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.000 walking fool. That's it. That's the sequel to your walking 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:23.440 to walk right right walking fools. So there's a poster 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.480 on the wall of a guy with like, um, a 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.800 wooden bar across his back holding too like jugs of 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:33.040 wine on each end, you know, like that, Okay, And 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:34.760 it's and I noticed the post is on the wall 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.439 because it's crooked. And I'm a big like I bothers 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.160 to me when the ship's crooked, so I'm I'm looking 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:41.600 at it. It's in the it's in the front of 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.560 the room, where again it's the private room. Like you 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.359 were in and the general manager is there in his tents, like, 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:51.280 I don't know about thirty people, six tables of people 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.080 who are signed up for this special private thing. It 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.879 wasn't it was. It was. It was pricy, but not 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.520 like extraordinary, but it was okay. So I had my meal, 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.520 she had hard meal. And at the end of the night, 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:03.639 so I'm sorry. Beginning of the night, there's these cards 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.960 on the table. They're like, they're like a guest list, 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.800 like a mailing list thing. So my wife fills it 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.080 out for me and fills it out for her. She's like, oh, 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.280 whatever this is, we'll both get emails. So this way, 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.000 if there's something special, will both see the email. Look, okay, 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.840 that's fine. And the girl comes around she collects all 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:20.920 the cards. I don't think anything of it. End of 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.440 the night, oh, I should say. The general manager is 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.720 giving a speech and he plays a video about the 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.800 Kamis vineyards. Before he plays it, he's like, let me 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:31.360 tell you what you're in for tonight. And every time 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.560 he starts talking or the video starts playing, the large 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.639 table to our right, that's when they have to talk. 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:41.600 He's like, okay. So the first course giants and the 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.600 Jets and the football, and they're just like as if 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.840 he's not there. It's a small private room at a 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.760 quiet steakhouse, and I have to like strain to hear 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:50.720 over him, and every time he talks, it's like he 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.359 hit a button and they have to talk. Okay, So 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:55.160 end of the night, he says, all right, well, let's 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:59.000 do our raffle, and then um, after the raffle, we're 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.800 gonna we're gonna auction and off, I'm sorry, we're gonna 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.119 sell off whatever bottles we didn't use tonight. We have 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.600 a few bottles of each of the Kames brand that 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.240 we drank tonight, that you know. And so my wife says, well, 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.280 you know, i'd really like the uh the crooked What 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.600 did I say?

So uh like all right, well, 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:25.400 she was, it's probably expensive though, so maybe we shouldn't 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.080 get it. I'm like, well, you know, the dinner was pricey, 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:29.919 but if you like it that much, let's see what 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.760 they if they're charging us, like, you know, retail price 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.239 or whole.
