1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Bold, reverence and occasionally random.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 2: The Sunday Hang with Playing Buck podcast it starts now.

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal had a piece about the best way

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: to vacation. I think you and I have major, major

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: beef that may come out here over the best way

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: to have vacations. But I want you to share with

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: the people the advice that the Wall Street Journal gave,

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: given the fact that it's now Memorial Day weekend, effectively.

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: And hat tip to Jeff Gallac who wrote this piece

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: for the Journal in their travel section, how to have

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 3: a great vacation.

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 4: What science tells us? So follow the science fauci Is.

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: This fauci science or is this real science?

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 3: I know, I think no, These are all smart things.

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 3: So this is real science, not fauci science.

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: I think. Okay, I hope. So, when you're trying to

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: make sure that everybody has a fabulous Memorial Day weekend,

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: if you are traveling based on the science according to

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, all right.

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: So there are a couple of core principles here we

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: want to share with all of you. This might be

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: the most important thing you hear on radio all week,

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 3: all ight, because this will affect your life. First thing

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 3: for having a great vacation. And I think this is

25
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: where Clay and I are in a rock em sockem Donnybrook.

26
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 3: If you will ah this guy there, Yeah, thank you.

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 3: Sir Gallac says, do less. And here's what he writes.

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: If you love the beach, you should get in as

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: many beach days as possible. If you love an art museum,

30
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: go see every painting. Sounds logical, but only if you

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: want to have a not so enjoyable vacation. One of

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: the primary reasons vacations fall flat is because of an

33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: inalienable truth about hedonic consumption.

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: Enjoyment declines with time.

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: So basically he's saying, don't overdo any one thing.

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 4: And what I said to Clay is I get to

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: the beach. And maybe it's because.

38
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 3: I'm pale and Anglo Irish in origin and can't tan

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: and you know whatever. You could throw all these calumnies

40
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: at me. But I go to the beach. After two hours,

41
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, I need to get inside of air conditioning

42
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: and read a book, right Like you don't need to

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: You don't need to have six Margerita's day one, have one.

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 3: You don't need to go to every museum in the place.

45
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: Only go to the ones with cool war stuff. What

46
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: do you You seem to think that you can go

47
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: all in and there's no problem.

48
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: Well, so my thing is it depends on the type

49
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: of vacation that you are scheduled to have. So when

50
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: I went to Italy last year, which i'd never been to,

51
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: I took my family. I want to see as much

52
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: of Italy as I can because I don't know if

53
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: I'll ever get to go again. For instance, but at

54
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: one point my youngest kid was like another church, which

55
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: was very funny because obviously we're going into all these old,

56
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: you know, esteemed historic churches all over Italy, and I

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: enjoyed them all. But I understand the point of if

58
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: you were a first grader or a second grader, you're

59
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: like dad, another old church, another old cathedral. I get it.

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: So I understand that, but I think. And then we

61
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: went to Australia, two places that I've wanted to go

62
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: my whole life. I want to see it at all because

63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm ever going to be back there.

64
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: But if I go to a beach and my kids

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: are now old enough that I don't have to sit

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: terrified about every time they get close to the water,

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: which every parent or grandparent with a young child will understand.

68
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: It's not fun necessarily to be at the pool or

69
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: to be at the beach. And when you've got a

70
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: young kid who doesn't swim very well, you got to

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: have your head on a swivel. You can't have many Marguerite's,

72
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: you can't have many beers. I want to just do nothing.

73
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: So this weekend, I would be very happy where I'm

74
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: going to the beach if I don't have to go

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: more than one mile in either direction, and there is

76
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: virtually nothing accomplished at all that's other than hanging out.

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: You're agreeing with the science here, he says, do less.

78
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: The point here is just don't overdo anything that you're doing.

79
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: Not doing anything. Thing isn't a thing you can really

80
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: do too much of. I just meant too many hours

81
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: in the sun directly. But like he's talking about how

82
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: you shouldn't show up and schedule out in hourly increments

83
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: or something like that. Yeah, your vacation, so you're you're

84
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: you're Actually we did, but.

85
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: We did that in Italy and Australia. I think it

86
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: matters what the vacation is like. Some vacations. The goal

87
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: is I just want to chill. I want to sleep,

88
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: I want to have a few drinks. Clay is going

89
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: against the science once again. I will say this. You

90
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: were talking about how easily you sunburned. I don't know

91
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: if you even heard this. And we had our eighteen

92
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: hour photo shoot last week. When you left, I came

93
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: in and they were like, oh, your skin is actually tannable,

94
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: unlike your radio show co host. We're gonna have to

95
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: change the coloration on the shots that we're taking because

96
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: of how pale he was. I don't even think you

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: heard this. Shots fired, shots fired. Look at this right

98
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: before the holiday week. No get They were like, I

99
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: didn't know how anybody could be wider than Buck was.

100
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: We're going to have to adjust the color filters here.

101
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: Uh now, I don't want to. I might end up

102
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: looking like Kramer on Seinfeld back in the day when

103
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: he when he'd got in the tanning bed for too long.

104
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what the final shots are gonna look like,

105
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: but there was an acknowledgment that you were super white

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: and they were going to have to adjust the color

107
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: filters when I came in for the photos.

108
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: That's not nice, all right. Limit your choices is the

109
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: second one here. This is I think, actually this is

110
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: a bigger lesson for life. Limit your choices. When planning

111
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: a trip, it's critical to compare hotels, tours, restaurants. Make

112
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: the best possible choices. He says, not so fast. Don't

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 3: look at all the options. Look at the options and

114
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 3: find a good option. I'm gonna tell you, yeah, people

115
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: that did, people that get their light out at the

116
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: restaurant on the menu and look reading a legal contract.

117
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: Stop being lame. You know basicoot's on the menu. Look,

118
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: go with what your eye gets drawn to. You don't

119
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: read it like you're reading a legal document. You figure out,

120
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: you do a little bit of artistry here, you go

121
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: a little bit of this, little bit of that, and

122
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: you just go with something you're gonna like.

123
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: You don't have to read every side and know everything.

124
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: And when it comes to hotels, you find a place,

125
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: Oh I'm gonna like that place.

126
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 4: You don't have to get.

127
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: Into the most you know, obscure review websites. To make

128
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: sure that you compare who gives you, you know, better

129
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 3: amenities or something for the thirty dollars amenities fee.

130
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: I agree with this, this bit of advice, because there's

131
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: nothing worse than going out to dinner with someone who

132
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: thinks that what they order for the dinner is going

133
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: to define their life's success for the next ten years.

134
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: And they sit there and they are terrified about it.

135
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm unique. There's like eight things on every menu

136
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: that I would be fine with eating. I don't assume

137
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: that there's a massive drop off between choice and one

138
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: and choice two.

139
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: Right, And this is he calls it choice overload. And

140
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: when you're I believe you're on vacation, he says. You

141
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: want to be what he calls a satisficer, a person

142
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: who finds the first, acceptable, acceptable option and accept Yeah,

143
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: I set of a maximizer who's trying to find the

144
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: absolute best.

145
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: The absolute best. The absolute best is an illusion. You

146
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 4: gotta find good enough.

147
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: And I tell my wife this all the time because

148
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: she'll be like, I got a great deal. I'm just

149
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: she can hear me right now, she's gonna yell at me.

150
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: But she'd be like, I got a great deal at Costco.

151
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: And then she'd be like, oh my gosh. Two weeks later,

152
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: she'd be like, I could have gotten a better deal

153
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: at Costco.

154
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, you got.

155
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: A good deal. It's a good deal is good enough.

156
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: We don't have to like go on a time machine

157
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 3: or something to get a better deal.

158
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: A good deal is a good deal. My wife had

159
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: a pretty devastating comeback when I had this exact conversation

160
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: with her. I said, you know, you don't have to

161
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: be super picky. You don't have to worry about every

162
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: little detail. You can just relax. You don't have to

163
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: make the perfect choice. She said, I know I married you. Oh,

164
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: if Carrie's listening right now, that would be a over

165
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: the top decapitation response. And I was just like, uh,

166
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's that is. I was just like, ooh,

167
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: I know I married you. I was like, well, you

168
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: order whatever you want.

169
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: You know.

170
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: It's a good point. That is a that is a

171
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: very good line, by the way, not as well received

172
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: if the man says it to the woman. A lot

173
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: of that, Yes, there would have been. I took it

174
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: in the spirit of which I assume it was intended

175
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: as a joke. I do not know had I said

176
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: it if it would have been taken in the same way.

177
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: But it's a good line for women to men. I'm

178
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: not sure that I would suggest men use that with women.

179
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: When we come back and take some of your calls.

180
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly's going to join us to talk about Red

181
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: Lobster shutting down Buck. I I don't know if I've

182
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: told you this. Every restaurant that I like in Nashville,

183
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: I am the kiss of death. It inevitably closes. I

184
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: love so many places. I think there are eight different

185
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: top draft pick restaurant choices I've had in Nashville, all

186
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: of them close to the point where I actually feel

187
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: bad if I go into a restaurant and really like it,

188
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: because I know that it's going to fail. That's where

189
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: I am. So I understand the pain of Jesse Kelly

190
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: when it comes to Red Lobster shutting down. Sunday Hang

191
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: with Klan Buck. We're joined now by Jesse Kelly, balding

192
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: Man who orders seventy five dollars shots when he goes

193
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: out drinking in New York City and also a diehard

194
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: fan of Red Lobster. Where on the flow chart of anger, sadness,

195
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: despair does Red Lobster closing rank And how would you

196
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: compare it to the Michigan Wolverines Being a vastly superior

197
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: football program. Now to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

198
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: First of all, I just want to point out to

199
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: everybody that you're a bad person. Okay, and I your

200
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: comments almost as much as I resent that mop of

201
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: hair you still have on your head. That's you and Buck,

202
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: both of you with all this hair. What a couple

203
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: of hippies. That's one. Two. People do not appreciate red lobster.

204
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 2: It's thought of as some kind of I don't. I

205
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: don't know why it's not thought of where it should

206
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: be as the pinnacle of American cuisine. We only had

207
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: one in Montana when I was a kid, and it

208
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: was two and a half hours away, and we can

209
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: never go out to eat, but whenever we would go

210
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: over to this town, we would always go to Red

211
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 2: Lobster and it was it always delivers. Red lobster has

212
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: been the peak of American seafood forever, and I am

213
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: legit upset about it. I have one three hundred meters

214
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: I would say, from where I'm sitting right now, I

215
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: eat there twice a week and it's closing up. I'm devastated.

216
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Well, so what happened?

217
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: I mean, there's this rumor out there that And I

218
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: don't know if you part took in this, mister Jesse Kelly,

219
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: that it was the endless shrimp that was the last straw,

220
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: if you will. They went endless shrimp, and people kind

221
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: of like Homer Simpson when Hell is feed donuts and

222
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: Hell runs out of donuts, remember that that people could

223
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 3: eat more shrimp than they ever anticipated at corporate headquarters

224
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: for Red Lobster, and that that was the the coup

225
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: de grass, if you will, the final moment for Red Lobster.

226
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: Is that true or is that just rumor mill stuff.

227
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: It's probably rumor mill stuff, but I'd like to think

228
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: that it's true because it's the kind of thing Red

229
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: Lobster would do. Red Lobster hasn't been about profit. It's

230
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: not been about making money for the restaurant itself. Red

231
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: Lobster has been about sustaining an American population with high

232
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: end seafoods since its inception. And I would say, I

233
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: don't want to speak for the owners. I'm sure the

234
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: owners are, you know, wonderful Christian people or whatever, but

235
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for them, but I would

236
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: imagine that's how they would want to go, giving away

237
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: the last of their vast wealth to the people so

238
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: the people could enjoy. Have you, guys, ever had the

239
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 2: shrimp scampy for red lobster? Have either of you ever

240
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: sat down and enjoyed that delicious buttery bowl of garlicy

241
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: shrimp scampy? It will change your life. And then you

242
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: take the cheddar Bay biscuits and you you dip them

243
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: in the butter in the shrim scampy bowl. Gosh, I'm starving.

244
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: So I think most of our audience, and I don't

245
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: know if you would subscribe to this, would say Chick

246
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: fil A, if you had to pick one fast food restaurant,

247
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: is the best fast food restaurant in America. Now, look,

248
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: there are others that I really like. I'm a fan

249
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: of Zaxby's. I'm a fan of raisin Canes. These are

250
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: Southern places sometimes are that he's talking about. Just to

251
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: be clear, I o to be fair, Like Sunday Sunday

252
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: meal when I was a kid growing up was Captain D's,

253
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: which I don't think exists anymore. It was the seafood

254
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: fast food, which doesn't sound like a combo. That would

255
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: be really popular.

256
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: During Sexton family road trips, I'll just tell you we

257
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: would have the argument about fast food, and my dad

258
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: would just the argument. Er was always burger king, flame broiled,

259
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: so that advertising worked really well.

260
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: So what is Jesse, Let's presume that all Red Lobsters

261
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: shut down? What would be and I'm not talking about

262
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: fast food? What would be your number two draft pick

263
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: of a place that would try to fill the great

264
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: void in your life that was formerly occupied by Red Lobster.

265
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: I would suggest this is my nomination. I'm curious what

266
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: Buck would say too. Olive Garden is probably the best

267
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: I think sit down company. I think they oh they

268
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: used to be, so they spun it off. But I

269
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: would say Olive Garden would now be the peak of

270
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: American chain sit down dining. What would your argument be, Jesse?

271
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: It definitely wouldn't be Olive Garden, which is low rent trash,

272
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: it's not high end like Red Lobster. It figures you

273
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: would pick Olive Garden. Now, don't get me wrong, just

274
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: like anyone else who who's alive and has taste buds,

275
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: I love going to Olive Garden and cameling down some

276
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: bread as much as the nests man. I'm a big

277
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: fan of that. But as far as replacements go, I've

278
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: already picked my replacement. People think I've got one white

279
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: trash thing in my back pocket. I've been white trash

280
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: for the forty two years of my existence. I just

281
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: took my son's to waffle House the other day. They

282
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: love it. My wife refuses to go in. She says

283
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: there are some clemingist problems which I have personally never seen,

284
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: but waffle House. Do you know what waffle House has?

285
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: Everyone knows about the waffles and the breakfasts and the

286
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: smothered and covered and the fist fights and everything else.

287
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: What people don't understand is the cheeseburger at waffle House

288
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: is top tier. It's as good as any restaurant burger

289
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: you can get out there, now, are they Jesse Kelly Burgers. No,

290
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: of course, nobody's perfect, but waffle House cheeseburgers, hash brown,

291
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: smothered covered. Oh, that's as good as.

292
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to a waffle House buck?

293
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 5: Uh?

294
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

295
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been like hungover as a college kid, for sure,

296
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 3: I've been to waffle House.

297
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: That's their staple.

298
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: But I just think it's funny that as we're talking

299
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: about this last twenty four hours also the EEO of

300
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: Cracker Barrel has recently apparently said yeah, we're just like

301
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: not as good as we used to be or something.

302
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 4: I'm just like, wait, what's going on?

303
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: Why would you throw your own stuff under the bus

304
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: that way? Before we get into the Cracker Barrel discussions

305
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 3: to say, Jesse, we asked for some of our VIPs

306
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: to put you on the hot seat. And this is

307
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: clearly somebody who's a Clay and Buck and Jesse Kelly

308
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: listener because I don't even know what's going on here. Brian,

309
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: one of our Clanbuck VIPs, rights ask Jesse if he

310
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 3: could defeat fifty iguanas with a slingshot to defend himself

311
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: shields high Brian the plumber.

312
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: What is he? Can you defeat fifty iguanas with a slingshot?

313
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 4: What is he talking about?

314
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm deadly with a slingshot. You see, when I

315
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: was a child, all I would do is I would leave.

316
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: You know, this is back in the day when you

317
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: just got kicked out of the house and we had

318
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: these woods back beyond my house, and I didn't have

319
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: any neighbors close to me, so I was constantly stuck

320
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: in my own world, talking to myself, playing with myself

321
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: doing all those kinds of things. And the sling shot.

322
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: I got a slingshot for Chris Smiths one year, and

323
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: let me tell you what, I was basically the world's

324
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: deadliest sniper with that thing. I'd be taken out squirrels

325
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: like you can't imagine. My mom would be thrilled to

326
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: come home and find a bunch of dead squirrels in

327
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: the window sill in the kitchen. You can bring on iguanas,

328
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: You could bring on rhinoscera, a bunch of rhinos, and

329
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: I would manage to take them out with a slingshot

330
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: as well. I'm basically King David, what is your best?

331
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: As we're going off the holiday weekend, we had a

332
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: conversation about this. There's a Wall Street journal piece on

333
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: the science of having the best possible vacation? What is

334
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: the Jesse Kelly version of having the best possible vacation

335
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 3: by you know, by the advice you can give?

336
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: Okay, well, are we talking now? Are we talking a

337
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: realistic vacation or Jesse's all of a sudden a billionaire

338
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: and I can go and do well.

339
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: No real realistic, Like if you're giving folks like the

340
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 3: basic nuts and bolts of how to have a good

341
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: long weekend, because they talk about things like don't try

342
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: to do too much, don't look for the best, look

343
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: for good enough. Stuff like that, like what's what's your

344
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: your real deal? Wisdom or advice on a great American

345
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: long weekend.

346
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the best American long weekend you can possibly have.

347
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: What you need is either a mountain or a lake.

348
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: You need a cabin on a lake or a cabin

349
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: on a mountain, and it has to be an hour

350
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 2: or less away from your home. Otherwise this is where

351
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: people screw up with vacations all the time, especially long

352
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: weekend vacations. You got seventy two hours, you got three

353
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: days max. Okay, we'll make it. Maybe you've got ninety

354
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: six hours. Maybe you got a four day or are

355
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: you really going to bookend your vacation with three four

356
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: hours of either driving the kids and having Daddy I

357
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: get a pie, or you're going to go fight off

358
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: the eight hundred pounds tsa agent at the airport trying

359
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: to get to and fro. No, thank you. It has

360
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: to be less than an hour away. You don't need

361
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: a beach. The beach is the most overrated thing in

362
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: the world. I don't want sand in my ears. I

363
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: don't with this. The beach is fun for an hour

364
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: and then I can't read anymore. I'm hot. It's miserable.

365
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: Go to a lake, A raft a lake. One of

366
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 2: the styrofoam coolers full of beer is all you need

367
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: to have the best weekend in the world.

368
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: That's not bad advice, except you're totally wrong on all

369
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: beach related opinions. And I bet you haven't been to

370
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: thirty A, which is where I'm about to head. The

371
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: Florida Gulf Coast. You're talking about like redneck Galveston, Texas.

372
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: You're talking about throw I'm sorry Galveston. I mean it

373
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: is like no everybody in Texas. They don't have a

374
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: beach in Texas that anybody wants to go to.

375
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 3: Oh, it's true that aggression cannot stand hold.

376
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 2: First of all, I fully admit that Galveston, Texas is

377
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: kind of a rundown beach town and that's part of

378
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: its charm. But don't you dare call Galveston garbage while

379
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 2: pointing out the Florida Golf Coast. I love the Florida

380
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: Golf Coast. I go down there every chance I get.

381
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: Have you seen people smile when the Florida Golf Coast

382
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: playing it all look like Leon Spinks. Don't tell me

383
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: about the Florida Golf Coast as if it's the correct.

384
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm not talking. First of all, the people are fabulous. Second,

385
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: they may not have as many teeth as they would like,

386
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: but that's what happens when you live well. Also, I

387
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: would just say all of Texas biggest flaw that Texas has.

388
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: The beaches are a disaster. Everybody listening to me in

389
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: Texas right now. They come to the Florida Gulf Coast

390
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: because the beaches are white sand, because the water is

391
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: emerald colored. It's like you're in the Mediterranean, and it

392
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: is spectacular. And I subminietrated with more trumpet flags. That's right,

393
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: the Mediterranean with more trump fat flags, which is a

394
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: good combo. And by the way, jesse As we're about

395
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: to go out here. My mom won it. She just texted.

396
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: She said, Dad and I ate at Red Lobster yesterday.

397
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: Shrimp scampy is my favorite. So you've at least won

398
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: over my mom.

399
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love her already. She's by far the smartest Travis,

400
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: that's for sure.

401
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: Do you think they're gonna keep making those cheddar Bay

402
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: biscuits even when the clothes, because my sister and her

403
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: husband love those things, like I'm pretty sure they would

404
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: drive multiple hours just.

405
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: For the biscuits.

406
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: Buck. A great product never ever ever leaves. Once you

407
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: achieve the pinnacle of something, it never leaves. It may

408
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: be ripped up, rebuild, it may be bought by someone else,

409
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: but when you've achieved the culinary masterpiece that is the

410
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: cheddar Bay biscuit, it will be here long after you

411
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: and I are dead and gone. Brother.

412
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: I don't want to stroke your ego too much before

413
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 3: we go off for the weekend. But there are people

414
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 3: I have seen on the interwebs who think that you're

415
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: so called best burger ever imaginable is actually really good?

416
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: Where can they go and find out about this supposedly

417
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: amazing burger that apparently a lot of people.

418
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: Like I actually have to give unique guidance on this

419
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: because now this thing is taken on a life of

420
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 2: its own. And apparently they're about eight million blogs out

421
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: there called the Jesse Kelly Berger and most of them

422
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 2: are wrong. They just kind of decided to come up

423
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: with their own recipe and called the Jesse Kelly Burger.

424
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: Just look up Jesse Kelly cheeseburger and click on a

425
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: video of me describing it. That's the only way you

426
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: can make sure it's the actual Jesse Kelly cheeseberger and

427
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: all bluster aside, I do make the greatest homemade cheeseburger

428
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: in the history of mankind. You try one, you'll never

429
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: make them any other way. Trust me on that.

430
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 3: A great cheeseburger is unbeatable, undefeated.

431
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: It really is pretty fabulous.

432
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 3: Go check it out and check out the Jesse Kelly

435
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 3: your lovely wife and the boys have a great holiday weekend.

436
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: And by the way, you're gonna be with us. But

437
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: you want to complain that I've got us all going

438
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: to Milwaukee. You've been upset that I managed to corral

439
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: everybody to Milwaukee.

440
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: We're gonna all go to Red Lobster.

441
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: That's a truth. We're going. You want to take a

442
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: shot at this week in Milwaukee that you're upset that

443
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: I've managed to corral everybody into No, I.

444
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: Have no problem with the road trip. I would just

445
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: like in the future to be consulted before Clay Travis

446
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: signs me up for four or five days away from

447
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: home in a hotel. I'm not by my bed. I

448
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: don't even like Republicans. Why do I have to go

449
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: to the Republican convention? A bunch of useless eunuchs out

450
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: there selling us out every single minute. Now I have

451
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: to go act like I like these people. Thanks a lot, Clay.

452
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: You know what, you're buying the dinners, not that that

453
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: would be abnormal, but you're buying the dinners.

454
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: On the black card.

455
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: I'll handle the I'll handle the dinners all right, right, Yes, boys,

456
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: I'll see you in a couple of months. I'll see

457
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: you all. Hang out, Thanks man, Thanks Jesse.

458
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 3: And we'll get to a caller right now, who is

459
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: a Oh, yes, we have a red lobster manager.

460
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: Is this right, am? I right on this one. We

461
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 4: have a general manager of a red lobster in Virginia.

462
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: That's correct.

463
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 4: Well, talk to us, sir.

464
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: What happened? I heard that the I heard that.

465
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: It was a delicious culinary delight for so many years,

466
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: and yet.

467
00:22:59,160 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 4: Here we are.

468
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 6: Here we are. We're not going anywhere. My store is

469
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 6: very profitable. All all five hundred and fifty or five

470
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 6: hundred and sixty of us that are staying open and profitable.

471
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 6: Everybody closes up stores now and then our back's closing.

472
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 6: Some Starbucks even close the stores that are unprofitable. We've

473
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 6: put it off for a long time. We've been saddled

474
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 6: with when we left Darden, Golden Gate Capital saddled us

475
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 6: with some terrible leases that had million dollar poison penalties

476
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 6: to close up a store. So the only way out

477
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 6: was Chapter eleven. But the good news is endless shrimp

478
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 6: did not kill Red Lobster. We had been owned by

479
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 6: a Thai union, a seafood company you know, out of Thailand,

480
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 6: that had made us sell endless shrimp too cheap and

481
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 6: buy pay too much for all of their shrimp. There's

482
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 6: a big investigation with all that going on right now.

483
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 6: But the moral of the story is we're not going anywhere.

484
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 6: So there's those Cheddar Bay biscuits are still available.

485
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 4: Here we go.

486
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, Thank you for your service.

487
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: But this was the data point that I wanted to

488
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: hit you on Red Lobster. Red lobster buys twenty percent

489
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: of all North American lobster tales, sixteen percent of all

490
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: rock lobsters sold worldwide. That's a pretty staggering stat right,

491
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: that they would buy that percentage of the seafood that

492
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: is actually that is actually harvested. I guess would be

493
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: the word all over the country and all over the world.

494
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 3: Is lobster your absolute go to seafood if you have it?

495
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: Is that is that number one?

496
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: I usually go salmon. I usually go salmon. I think

497
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to go wrong with salmon. Yeah, it's healthy, salmon. Yeah,

498
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: that's great, probably the most getting off with fancy getting off.

499
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: I think salmon is less fancy than lobster or crab

500
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: or any of those. I bet lobster is the number

501
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: number one seafood consumed in America by far. I bet

502
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: would be salmon. And I know sometimes it's fresh water.

503
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 6: I know that.

504
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: You know, telapia is uh is something that a lot

505
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 3: of people eat, but that's also globally.

506
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: Sundays with Clay and Buck, a lot of you traveling

507
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: over the holiday weekend, probably still a lot of you

508
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: on the road now. And mayor Pete went on over

509
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: the weekend. Usually it's pretty safe for all the Biden

510
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: administration to go on. They have put billions of dollars

511
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: into trying to get you to get an electric vehicle.

512
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: That's despite the fact that it's still hard to charge,

513
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: the amount of time it takes, long trips, everything else

514
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: not ideal. Is it going to surprise you that the

515
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: government has spent seven and a half billion dollars to

516
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: evidently only finish seven or eight electric vehicle charging stations?

517
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 1: Listen to Cut twelve.

518
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 3: The Federal Highway Administration says only seven or eight charging

519
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 3: stations have been produced with a seven and a half

520
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 3: billion investment that taxpayers made back in twenty twenty one.

521
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: Why isn't that happening more quickly?

522
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 5: So the president's goal is to have half a million

523
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 5: chargers up by the end of this decade. Now, in

524
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 5: order to do a charger, it's more than just plunking

525
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 5: a small device into the ground. There's utility work. And

526
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 5: this is also really a new category of federal investment.

527
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 5: But we've been working with each of the fifty states.

528
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 5: Every one of them is getting formula dollars to do

529
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 5: this work, engaging them in the first handful again by

530
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 5: twenty thirty, five hundred thousand chargers and the very first

531
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 5: handful of chargers are now already being physically built or.

532
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: Eight so much.

533
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: First of all, he's so smug and such a honestly,

534
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: such a clown and so inapt and just sort of

535
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: shows you what the box checking, resume obsessed managerial class

536
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 3: presents these days, like somebody who just is constantly sort

537
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: of smarmy and like I worked at you know, McKinsey

538
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 3: or Bane or whatever, and so no one cares the

539
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 3: guy has done a terrible job atviously as transportation secretary,

540
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: because we know who he is and we know he's

541
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: done a terrible job. The transportation secretary shouldn't be somebody

542
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: who you have particularly strong feelings about any respect. Also, though,

543
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: where it's going to be in twenty you're not going

544
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: to be there. You know, you're not going to be

545
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: part of the administration. A new administration can totally change

546
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: focus and change funding. This thing of oh, by twenty fifty,

547
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 3: we're going to be like zero emissions is just childish,

548
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 3: it's just absurd, it's nonsense.

549
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: Five hundred thousand charging stations by twenty thirty, As you mentioned,

550
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: they're not still in power. But to have spent seven

551
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars and only have seven or

552
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: eight of them, it feels like that should be a

553
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: bigger scandal than it is. I give a credit for

554
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: asking the question, but this is why the electric vehicle.

555
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: If you want to buy one, more power to you.

556
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: But this is why so many people in America are

557
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: not willing to make that choice, particularly people have to

558
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: drive long distances on a regular basis.

559
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 3: You have to remember the point for Democrats of spending

560
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: the public money in this way. It's not to actually

561
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: do things for the public. It's to buy votes and

562
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: to pay off their people.
