WEBVTT - Diners vs. Waffle Houses 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:09.480 Hey, everybody, welcome to hold up with dul Say Sloan 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:11.840 and Josh Johnson. That's us, by the way, I know, 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:13.800 I was saying it like it was to other people 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:15.840 that we were going to interview and talk to, But 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.000 it's us. I don't know why I say my name 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:19.840 like I've forgotten my name before I say my name. 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:24.960 But we are here to discuss a really important topic today, 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.640 something that's weighed on our hearts and our minds for 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.080 basically our entire lives. And we we had no idea 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.479 that the other didn't feel the same way. Honestly, this 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:37.400 is one of those things where it's best that we 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:40.839 became good friends before we found this out about each other, 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.839 or else one would have judged the other pretty harshly. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:48.080 We probably would have judged each other. Today's topic is, uh, 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:55.160 diners versus waffle Houses. Okay, so this is waffle Houses 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.160 of the world taken on the diners of the world. Well, well, 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:03.920 well it's the waffle houses of America. Mm hmm. Because 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:08.920 I don't believe waffle House is a international company. I 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.360 feel like if it is, we would have heard about it. 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:17.080 I feel like, yes, because waffle House only operates like, 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:21.399 the closest waffle house to hear is in Pennsylvania. And 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.760 me and you know, my friend Ben ben Bergman chopped 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:29.160 Big Bergman. Me and ben Bergman have contemplated, uh, renting 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.600 a car to go. I think it's like a Scranton, 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.760 Pennsylvania waffle house. Yeah, the closest one, one of the best, 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.840 one of the best outings you could probably have is 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.160 hitting the six Flags on the way and then going 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.840 to a waffle house. That sounds like an incredible weekend. Well, 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.320 you know you have to do the waff house after 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.080 six Flags. Yeah, yeah, you don't wanna. Yeah, you want 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.480 to lose your waffle house. Yeah, you don't want to 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.640 have a biological refund on all of your waffle house. 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:00.840 I'll tell you right now, though, the thing that would 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.640 make that trip better besides six Flags and then a 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.880 waff house is a six Flags and any dinner along 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:13.800 the way, because waffle house it doesn't stack up. Okay, 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:24.200 what to to an American institution of dinerism. Okay, all right, listen, listen. 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.480 This is how you know you have life funked up. Okay, 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.480 I'm gonna tell you this. This is the reason you 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.080 don't drink okay, And I think you've only had like 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.799 one drink in your life, right, No, I never drank. 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.000 So you've never had alcohol in your American Christian life, 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.920 not one sip. You didn't have a rogue untt you know, 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.799 irresponsible uncle, I mean my uncle is irresponsible. But the 0:02:54.760 --> 0:03:03.000 drake interesting. So the missing ingredient of waffle House is alcohol. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.480 So for a long time, when you first start going 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:12.600 to waffle House, usually if you didn't go as a kid, 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.560 you went in college. You start going to w like 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.760 you've been out late with your friends. There's nothing, there's 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:23.360 nothing else open, so you go to Wilf House. It 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.240 was a lot of food, it was super affordable, and 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:31.040 you were drunk, okay or a little tipsy. So a 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.960 lot of it is like if you are trying, if 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.600 you have been out drinking and you are trying to 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.880 ensure that you do not have a biological refund on 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:47.120 all the alcohol that you purchased, Wiffle House is a 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.360 sure fire away to make sure that you not do that. 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.120 Because all the times I've been out late and been 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.000 drinking and seeing people very drunk in a Wilf House, 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.040 it is very rare that I have seen somebody have 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.520 a biological ref one because all that waffle house just 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.480 soaks up all the liquor. See what I'm slaying, that's 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.000 why you eat carbs like that after you drink. That's wrong. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.000 People are drunk. They want French fries, they want potatoes, 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.920 they want stuff like that because it's just your body 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.800 is like, bitch, I need help. Okay, you know it's so. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.040 But they're out here. They're saving they're saving the children. 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.840 That's what they're doing. They're helping people. He would help 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.640 me and then help me understand, right because in my 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.360 in my experience, just from the outside looking in. Like 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.960 I said, I've never drank before, so I'm not I'm 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.000 not gonna act like I know what you're talking about 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.479 and what I'm talking about. You know what you're talking about. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.920 I know what I'm talking about. And I've just noticed 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.720 that in life, when someone has to be drunk for 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.000 something is probably not as good as they think it is. 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.680 Oh no, no, no, no, no, I'm not talking about 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:56.320 I've never been to a diner and been like this 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:00.360 food is amazing. There's a lot of times. Hold on, 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:05.560 I know me finished, hold on, I remember my mom 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.800 asked me to go to waffle House and it was 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.839 like a Sunday morning, and I was like, are we 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.040 gonna get drunk? First? What are we doing? And then 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.000 I was able to have out waffle house without having 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.839 it be three in the morning and nothing is else 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.359 is open or not being a little tips McGhee and 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.920 I had waffle House, and I was like, Oh, this 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:29.560 is actually good even without the alcohol. Alcohol does give 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.039 you a little like a little bit of a you know, 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.800 It's like it's just a little you know, it's just 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.480 a little a little kiss from a rose when you know, 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.800 when you're a little inebriated and you're in a waffle house. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:46.039 And also it's like the ambiance of a waffle house. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:52.080 Also the waffle house has I'm sorry to interrupt, but 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.839 ambiance is way too sophisticated of a word to a 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.280 waffle house. Listen, I'm be honest, too conphisticated a words 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.400 used for Danny, Like That's what I'm talking about, because 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:06.440 it's like, also there's diners, but it's like, is Denny's 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:10.120 a diner or the restaurant but dinner or the restaurant 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.960 but a waffle house, Nigga, It's a waffle house, so like, 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.240 you know what you're dealing with. So this is just 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.479 just for the listener, just just to make sure we've 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.040 caught everyone up to speed. It seems clear that you 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.240 are on the side of waffle house. I'm on the 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.640 side of dinner, and we're both coming at this thing 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.920 with maybe an eight out of ten. Like, I don't 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.360 really see our position shifting or changing, but I do 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:39.080 plan to help you a log and understanding why waffle 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.800 house is uh is that where it's at all? Right? 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.800 First of all, you mentioned ambiance, um ambiance, the ambiance 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:51.039 of fists, the aubiance of chokes, the aubiance of of 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.400 someone that might be let your food burn only because 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.440 they are currently engaged in a fist fight. Listen, I've 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:04.719 never had burned food from wilfile House because I mean, 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.480 sometimes you're hat but because I get my hashbrown scattered, 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.880 smooth and covered, so sometimes it will be a little 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:14.080 crispier on the ages than I wanted to be. But like, honestly, 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.960 I can't. I don't know how often I've had burned 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.080 food from a restaurant period. I'm not I'm not talking 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.800 about charge to an absolute Chris I'm saying it would 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:29.120 have been perfect had somebody not jumped the counter. Listen, 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.280 I haven't seen have I seen a fight in a 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:38.040 wiffe House? Yes? Was it with the employees. I've never 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.440 seen a Wilfa house fight with the employees. I know 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:45.040 what happens. We all know what happens. But um, you 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.120 know we all have the same internet, right, But I've 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:53.040 never seen I've never seen it. Also, what we could 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:58.680 always credit the Waffa house or waffle house employees more 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:03.280 convicted felons m than anyone has ever seen. If there's 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.800 a man, first of all, if the dude on the 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.040 grill don't look like he served at least five years, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.920 I don't want him cooking ship for me. Yeah yeah, 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.520 because that that comes with its own level of experience, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.160 Like now he's working with real ingredients and not prison ingredients. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.120 I understand what you're saying, but let me let me 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.120 kick it to you why I think the diners are 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:30.080 just far superior. Go ahead, because I'm bougie. Okay. Look, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:34.760 all I'm saying is when someone tells me that they're 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.040 about to give me steak, I just wanted to be steak. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.880 You know, when I get steak at a diner, I 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.960 know that that's steak. When I get steak at a 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:47.840 waffle house, that's burger. That's just burger. No waffle house 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:53.360 one has steaks too. Why are you ordering a steak 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.600 at a diner or a waffle house in the first place. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.760 You have set yourself up for failure. This is why 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.600 this is my issue with That's on you. You wanted 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:08.400 a high quality steak from somewhere whose menu is thick 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.760 like an encyclopedia. This is my issue with diners, and 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.600 this has always been my issue with diners. Wilfile house, 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.440 it's breakfast and then like burger ship right like I 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.760 know there's a high turnover. The ship is coming out 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:28.000 the door. Their menu, it's been laminated. I see the pictures. 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:34.000 I flip it over. I see the pictures. Understand dinner menus, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:40.480 chapter books, chapter books, Old Testament, New Testament. Do you 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:46.280 mean to tell me that you have a turkey dinner, 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:53.240 a lobster florentine or whatever, but also disco fries. What 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.640 the fund is happening in here? I don't know. It 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.960 is the middle of July. It is the middle of July. 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:05.280 Who who is coming in here? And ordering turkey dressed 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:09.199 in cranberry juice, I mean cranberry sauce. Who is ordering 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.199 turkey with all the fixings in the middle of July. 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.320 There's so many things on those menus. There's calamari, but 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:21.160 then there's also chicken tenders like all of like it's 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.160 it's like, oh, there's like chicken kiev, but then it's 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.640 onion rinks. So it's like, I know that there's stuff 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:32.280 in here that has just been sitting in your freezer 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.679 because people aren't ordering somebody somebody who order a meat 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.560 low sandwich and a Greek salad in the same day. 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.640 How long does that meat been the freezer? How long 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.920 has the lobster been in the freezer? Turkey dinner? How 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.520 long does that turkey ben? The fun I have questions 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.880 and concerns. First of all, how dare you slammed or 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:56.120 the name of diners by assuming that stuff is sitting there? 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.600 Any good diner has the kitchen and has the freezer. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.920 That's like a Narnia. All right, there's just amazing stuff 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:07.000 back there, amount of space. And I'll tell you right now, 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.480 what you think is the beast, I think is the beauty? 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.000 All right? So When I see that chapter book laid 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.199 out in front of me, I'm like, wow, I really 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.800 have options in life. I could I could try something 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.440 and get something that I already like as a backup. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.160 So am I gonna get, uh, you know, a pasta 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:28.160 with a burger? Maybe I'm crazy like that. I can 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:33.840 get wild like that because I could get wild like 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.360 that because I'm a dieter right now, I'm not limited 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:41.360 to the to the cheese. You're gonna get a grilled 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.640 cheese and a chicken alfredo, you fucking child. I'm I'm 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:49.360 gonna get a grilled cheese. I'm gonna get spaghetti. I'm 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:58.280 gonna go ahead and no grill cheese against spaghetti. And 0:11:58.480 --> 0:11:59.959 you know what, you know what, just the top of 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.719 it all, just because I can. Because this, this is 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.400 what options in life do for you, you know, because 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.800 when you go to a diner, you're your own little 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.720 Elon Musk, your own little Jeff bezos. They're going to space. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:16.640 I'm out here having orange juice chocolate bill with the 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.760 Monta Crystal sandwich, a set of front said a mont 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:24.520 A Crystal sand And that's okay. And that's how you 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:30.880 have a biological refund is chocolate milk orange shoe and 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:35.840 I'm money crystal. Okay. Also this is there is another 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.520 metric that I want to bring up because you you 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.280 already brought up a point for waffle House that they 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.840 employ a lot of X cons, they're leading employers or 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.800 X cons and everything I will I will offer up 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:52.120 to you. A lot of diners out there have some 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.839 of the best cooks in the world that just are 0:12:55.880 --> 0:13:00.520 struggling right now. Right so, there are some cooks at 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.760 diners that should be in some of those Michelin star restaurants. 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.480 But you know what, they fell off a little bit. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:11.120 You know, maybe they maybe they burned the wrong person's steak, 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.360 maybe they got into it with a supervisor and so 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:21.240 then they regulated to only work at diners after that. Okay, 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:25.400 I'm just saying I think the quality because you see 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.600 the menu that takes skill to be able to do 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.240 all that menu that meniters that take skill. That means no, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.560 it doesn't take a top of skill. Tell me something 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.320 on the diner menia gives me that I need skill 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:42.000 for Okay, at I know, but it's a it's a 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:47.400 do you really think that they are in the back 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:52.680 of a diner making a stock from lobster shells and 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.040 meet and then adding a cream and doing all of this. 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:01.600 It's it's still a restaurant that mass produces food you 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.000 buy it from. Have you worked in a restaurant before? 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.559 I have worked at a restaurant, and I can I 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.839 can tell you right now that the best restaurants put love, time, care, 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.160 attention and into every dish. And so what I go 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:14.800 to it. But if I'm but if I'm getting a 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.839 lobster bisk, that's five. You did not put love and 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:23.120 care into this lobster bisk. You opened a can. Don't 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:27.200 first of all, don't don't act like I'm not judging 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.480 the amount of love. What I'm saying is there could 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.360 be plenty of love, but what there was not was 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:35.920 prep work and care and time involved. You can't there's 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.280 too much stuff on the menu. This is a high 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:44.320 volume situation because if you don't use a lobster bisk 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.720 out of a can, so you don't sell that lobster bisk, 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:52.400 it's easier to throw away a can of soup that's old. 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:59.280 Then two every day create this stock because this is 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.760 the thing. There are so many things on a diner 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:06.160 menu that if you have anything with a short shelf life, 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.400 you're throwing away a lot of ship. You're throwing away 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.720 a lot of inventory. Yeah, you're not selling all of these. 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:17.640 You have seven different soups. Lobster business are flying off 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.800 the shelf. So why would you make that fresh every day? 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.560 You can't. It makes no sense. You'll be throwing that 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.160 soup out every day. So you have to have something 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.720 in the back that comes in a small enough can 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.080 to where this one dude that ordered lobster bisks in 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.880 the past two days, he is going to get all 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.640 the love and care that comes from a can opener 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.400 and heating up to something up on themself. Even if 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.240 you think, because we don't know, we can't verify. Even 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.680 if you think that all the lobster bisk and all 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.360 the diners is canned, I'll tell you right now. To 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.840 be able to go from type of food to type 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.400 of food that also takes skill. All right, you're coming 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:59.400 at me with a piping hot, delicious veggi field casadilla, 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.920 Andrew coming at me with some chicken alfredo that's just 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.280 cooked a perfection. I would love I would love to 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.960 see wallfly House trying to pull off both of those 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.880 things because waffly House knows their lane. They have figured 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.720 out what they are doing. They have figured out what 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.880 they're doing. No. No, I'm talking about as a company, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:24.120 not as individual not as individual stores, because I have 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.360 been an example waffle houses. I'm just like, I was 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.560 giving pure chaos on a plate, and I've been in 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.280 some WiFi houses. I was like, oh, somebody wiped down 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.800 the edge of somebody gave me some presentation of that. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.400 You see what I'm saying. Every experience is different, but 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:42.800 every diner is different. But every diner, to me, every 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:47.200 diner menu feels like pure chaos. It's like there's too 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.600 many there's too many things on this menu. How was 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.240 all this food in your kitchen once you and why 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.520 would you want less good? Why are you talking about 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:02.120 me that I'm trying to get the saying right where 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:07.280 it's like, oh, it's like a master of none situation. Okay, okay, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:11.640 so how's it? Semn other phrase goes, it's a jack 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.600 of all trades, master of none. Right, So if you're 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:21.639 in here making egg rolls, right, you're making egg rolls 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:29.159 and and Thanksgiving dinner and pasta in case it is 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:34.480 and dry nachos because the nachos are always dry. Always try, 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.280 always draw the number of times that I have been 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.600 just given just a just the sands of time nacho. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.080 There's a thousand things on your menu, so it's like, oh, 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.800 there's spanta, coprata and chili. What the hell is going 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:53.480 on in here? So jack of all trades. But yeah, 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:59.000 I cannot wait. I cannot wait. Two people hear you say, 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:03.439 dip the spin and a coprata in the chili. You 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.439 are a wild man. I love you. But that was 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:10.080 a phrase. That was a wild phrase, dipped the spare 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.400 of cope in the chili. Oh, the Lord can't bless 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:19.000 you living like that. So it sounds like that sounds 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.440 like a move from a poor child who just got money, 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:29.800 like just just got out here. Oh man, I'll tell 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.760 you this. I met a guy at a bar. We 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.440 went to the waffle house because I was the only 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.280 that was open, and we were just sitting there talking. 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:39.040 We were at this we were I guess it was 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.199 a date or hanging out or whatever. We were at 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:46.359 this waffle house for so long. We ate twice. H 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.680 You saw people change ships. Oh there was a ship change. 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:51.640 There was definitely a ship change. We were in there 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.080 talking for like probably like seven hours, just hanging out. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.480 Like the sun came up. I was like, well, we 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.320 might as well have breakfast now we're in this bitch. 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.639 So oh it's like but that was another great thing 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.800 about a wiffle house. Wiff House is never gonna kick 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.320 you out unless you're acting a fool. If they're not 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.919 super busy, a wilf House will let you be there 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.880 as long as you want. Okay, you could order a 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.720 coffee in the waffle house, as long as you're not 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.240 taking up a whole booth, wilf Houles will let you 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:24.919 have that coffee and being there until the return of 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.440 our Lord and savor Jesus Christ. Waff House does not care. Okay, 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.760 you're in here, You're in here. Yes, people will fight, 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.200 but I've also seen bar fights. Okay, we've all been 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.760 in a place. People fighting a Walmart, people fighting the CDs, 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:42.639 people fighting doctor's offices, people fight everywhere, people fighting the 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:47.840 street train. So I don't know why waffle House is 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:55.680 getting all of the slack. Don't do that. Don't do that. 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.200 That's because you love Wilfa House too much. Because it's 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.560 not like it's not a love thing. It's like you 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:05.359 came with the loving attitude of like a mob. That's like, look, 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:10.200 everybody fights sometimes, and there's fighting. There's fighting overseas. They're 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.440 fighting at a war right now, they're like they fighting bars. 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.720 If I don't understand why my baby fighting means he 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.400 gotta be suspended because you you came with this thing 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.720 of like outer stars singing about waffle House. But waffle 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:27.919 House versus regular dieters has more fights per capita, all right, 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:32.720 there are more punch thrown. I don't want what you 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.760 want facts and statistics. You're not gonna come in here 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:42.120 and act like I mean if we're if we're putting 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.320 the Dennis of the world and the eye Hops of 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:50.679 the world, asking if we're doing that. I'm just saying, 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:54.280 when we talk about virality, there are more viral videos 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.840 of some ask wepons and some waffle Houses than there 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:58.760 are at the eye hops. I'm not saying doesn't happen. 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.159 I'm saying that the Dnies and the eye Hops and 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:05.280 the places that have But you have to understand that 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:11.000 like eye hops close close, so when you're so when 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:16.280 you're dealing with a business that is open during the 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:21.439 drunk people time, You're going to have more altercations just 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:27.440 because you're open during the drunk people time. You're open 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:30.760 during fight time, you're open during shoot up, the club time. 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:35.080 Now because the eye hops that are open late. If 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.280 you take eye hops that close at ten or nine 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:43.960 in a twenty four hour hot, I've seen plenty of 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.280 altercations in a twenty four hour eye hot. And any 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.639 time a minute twenty four hour eye hop, it's because 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.800 the line at wolf House was too long. If I'm 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:56.200 in a Denny's, it's because listen, we all enjoy a 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.480 moon is over my hammy, Okay, shout out to Denny's. 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.800 All right, I'll enjoy a love of egg, you know, 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:08.600 an egg and cheese and ham sandwich. Delicious. But if 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:12.000 you're if you're a twenty four hour restaurant, you're gonna 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.640 deal with nonsense. You just are using people acting full 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:19.600 on the twenty four hour diner we've all seen. But yeah, 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:23.359 don't let's not. Let's not act like you're going to 0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:28.560 just get more riff raff because your business model. It's 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.800 riff raff time. Okay, But I think that there's something 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:37.119 to be said this is also where the diners, the 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:41.080 spectrum of diner that that we're in right now, it 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:45.440 just it outclasses waffle house because some diners do close 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:47.400 at a late hour, some of them close at once, 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:49.399 some of them close it too, and that's just a 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:52.879 little period of closing. Just that little period closing saves 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.359 you so much because now there's time to come back 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:58.760 in and meal p the staff gets to rest. There's 0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.159 no one am to seven a m. Shift. I know 0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:03.680 that I'm getting the best and brightest of that time 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:06.840 period when that shift starts, like no, you're getting a shift, 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:10.080 that's it. If your shift is one am, unia shift 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:12.840 is one am. If your shift is from twelve to twelve, 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.520 your shift is from twelve to twelve. Some of the 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:20.199 worst service I've had is in a restaurant that's empty 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.199 in the middle of the afternoon. And if the restaurant 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:25.840 at four pm is the worst service I get every time. 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:30.640 But this is I will say, it's let's and let's 0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:35.720 not act like that waffle house. It is not contributing 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:40.440 to the community at large. Because have you all on 0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:46.200 have you heard of the waffle house Hurricane index, I've 0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:48.480 heard of the waffle house hurricane index. You can tell 0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:50.399 it for the people, for the people that don't know. 0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:55.280 But I'm already with you. Okay. Let me let me, 0:23:56.000 --> 0:24:01.560 let me give the folks the full Google bull definition 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:06.800 straight from your Wikipedia page. Okay. The wilfile House Index 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.760 is an informal metric named after the waffle House restaurant 0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:12.720 chain to determine the effect of a storm and the 0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:17.040 likely scale of assistance required for disaster recovery. It was 0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:20.720 coined by former administrator Craig few Gate of the Federal 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:26.200 Emergency Management Agency a k A. FEMA. The metric is 0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:31.439 unofficially used by FEMA to inform disaster response. So the 0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.320 index is based on wilfile House's reputation for having good 0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:41.359 disaster preparedness, staying open during extreme weather, or reopening quickly afterwards. Now, 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:43.920 if you get there and now this is the quote 0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:49.960 from Craig few Gates, former head of the Federal Emergency 0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:55.800 Management Agency a k A FEMA, if you get there 0:24:55.840 --> 0:25:00.960 and the wilfile House is closed, question mark, that's really bad, 0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:05.760 is what the man is quoted as saying. Now, there 0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:10.600 are levels to this ship. Green full menu restaurant has 0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:13.360 power and damage is limited or no doubt or don't 0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:17.720
