1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: And there's some things in life that you just don't

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: want to know, like what's really in the micrib.

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 3: Do you want to know that?

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't think so just eat it?

7
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: Or how many spiders are within six feet of you

8
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: at any given moment.

9
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I live in such an old building. I do think

10
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: about this.

11
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes you don't think there's any in the ceiling right

12
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: now above us? And what songs are on Brook's bedroom playlist?

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to know.

14
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: I don't know me I can go all that and long,

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 3: or like a really hardcore energy.

16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: I'm not saying like cotton Eyed Joe and she'll be

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: coming around the mountain when she comes. But in some cases, yeah,

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: it's it's actually nice occasionally to get a little behind

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 2: the scenes look, especially if it's something you really care about,

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: like say, for example, if someone had some very interesting

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: insider information about your favorite restaurant.

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: And that's what's happening today.

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: This all started from a Reddit post from a girl

24
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: saying You'll never believe who I went on a date

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: with last night. It was the former general manager for

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: the Times Square Olive Garden oh.

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 4: Is It's either gonna make it or break it for.

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Me, which, if you didn't know, the Times Square All

29
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: of Garden is one of the busiest restaurants in the

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 2: entire world.

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I used to work at All of Garden. They

32
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: brag about the Times Square one just to made the picture.

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: It's three floors.

34
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: The wait time is always at least two hours to

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: get in.

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: Who is waiting two hours ago?

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: That's the way. They're a high end.

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 5: It's also the wait for any cheesecake factory I've ever

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 5: been into it.

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: Their last seating is at two am. That's how busy

41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: this place is. And she went on to say she

42
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: did not know that about him until after the date

43
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: had started, but once she learned that information, she spent

44
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: the next hour peppering this guy with questions about his

45
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: experience there.

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: She didn't know, all right, sugar baby, this guy.

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: You won't believe some of the things that he told her.

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: The people on Reddit went nuts with this, and they

49
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: were asking her all sorts of questions, trying to get

50
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: as much info as possible.

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I'm dying to know. I don't know

52
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: how I miss this.

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: The number one thing that hundreds of people wanted to

54
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: know was while he was the GM, did his restaurant

55
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: ever run out of bottomless breadsticks? Oh?

56
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, great question question.

57
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: Was his answer? Yes twice.

58
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: He says they were the worst two shifts of his

59
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: entire life. Customers were extremely angry, shouting like I don't care,

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: go make some more our Olive Garden never, you better

61
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: fix this.

62
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, take some.

63
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: More off the breadstick tree.

64
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: But apparently every international visitor was very polite and understanding

65
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: about the situation.

66
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 4: I met. I heard that sarcastically.

67
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: Besides the breadstick question, another big one was did anybody

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: ever order the unlimited soup salad breadstick combo and then

69
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: stay there all day?

70
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: Right because it's open until two am? I mean, you

71
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 4: could get your money.

72
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: One person did, and Olive Garden Corporate would not let

73
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: the employees remove him because quote their family, and he should.

74
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: Be allowed to eat and stay as long as he wanted.

75
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

76
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: The thing about family, though, you spend too much time

77
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: with them, you hate them exactly. You got some delicate balance.

78
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: What about the weirdest thing he ever saw in the restaurant? Yeah,

79
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: square Apparently, he says there was a knife fight one time.

80
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: That had to coincide with the breadstick.

81
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: Probably, and it was between two Karens.

82
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: Shut up.

83
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: They were both wielding butter knives from off the table.

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: It all started as a fistfight, and then eventually it

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: went up to the butter knives.

86
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 5: I mean, if you have a choice between a butter

87
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 5: knife and a fork, I'm sorry, grab the floor.

88
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: The GM had to pull the two of them apart

89
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: and shoved one in the elevator and sent her down

90
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: to the first floor, but the other lady broke out

91
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: of his grasp, ran down the stairs, stop the elevator

92
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: on the second floor, and grabbed someone else's knife from

93
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: a different table. They continued fighting and tumbled down the stairs,

94
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: ended up wrestling on the first floor.

95
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 4: Oh my god, did you know if you were in

96
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 4: the restaurant, you're like honey seed. This it was worth

97
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: the two hour.

98
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: Away, only in New York.

99
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: Eventually he threw both of them out onto the street,

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: but then he had to go chase back after them

101
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: to recover the.

102
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: Butter knives that they still have due This guy is

103
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: a great manager, I mean.

104
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: And after he told that story, he said, still running

105
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: out of red sticks was worse.

106
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, and.

107
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: We're talking about a post that went viral recently where

108
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: a girl went on a date with the former general

109
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: manager of the Olive Garden in Times Square. Oh my God,

110
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: and she learned about some of the craziest things that

111
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: he saw during his time there. Apparently another story that

112
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: he shared with her was when a really big guy

113
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: came into the restaurant one day and immediately all the

114
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: other customers were getting his autograph. Apparently it was a

115
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: famous NFL linebacker.

116
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: Okay, that makes sense. I bet there's a lot of

117
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 4: famous people that come through there.

118
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this guy was determined to eat each one

119
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: of the pasta and sauce combinations on the menu all

120
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: in one sitting.

121
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 4: It makes sense those NFL players.

122
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: After two hours, he'd cleared more than four pounds of

123
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: pasta plus three pounds of and he had the optional

124
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: meat add on for every dish, a sausage.

125
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 4: Do you enjoy it at that point or you just

126
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: like that's why you got different combos?

127
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he consumed probably over eight pounds of food throughout

128
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: the meal. He's the reason that they ran out of

129
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: the bottom of his breast. And then he only tipped

130
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: four dollars.

131
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: Get out of here four dollars tip on that and.

132
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 5: You tipped four dollars crazy.

133
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: He'd better be only like twenty three or something. That's

134
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: the only way that that can make up for it.

135
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: Finally, the one thing the former Olive Garden manager from

136
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: Time Square said he never understood all the time that

137
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: he was working there, is why Americans would go to

138
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: eat there.

139
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: Like they travel from all over.

140
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: The country, wait for hours in line to pay three

141
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: times the regular amount for the exact same food they

142
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: could have gotten at their local olive garden back home.

143
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: It's the same thing.

144
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 5: Like if you travel anywhere in the world and you

145
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 5: find an American franchised half of it is filled with

146
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 5: other American tourists. Yeah, I'm like, hey, y'all, we're in

147
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 5: Italy for a reason.

148
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I know Burger King's great, but.

149
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: I can only pronounce the food here.

150
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: Yes, it was so strange to me. I'm with him

151
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 4: on that one.

152
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: Well, text into seven eight, five nine two. What's your

153
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: craziest olive Garden story? If you have one, we want

154
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: to hear it. Your phone TAP's coming up right after this.

155
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning
