Speaker 1: can't be said the same for our guy Eric. He's

17
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: still on vacation. We heard from him well over a

18
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: week ago. He was up in the Dakotas playing blackjack

19
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,800

Speaker 1: first vacation update from mister LARSI he has sent more

23
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,200

24
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: I have not heard how his vacation's going. All I

00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: on vacation. We're gearing up for one hundred. We want

29
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I know at some

30
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: point he was planning on leaving the Dakota's I don't

31
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: quite know when that was. But let's let's check in

32
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: on air on vacation.

33
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: Hey, Jeremy, it's Eric calling in for check in number two.

34
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm on day number three of my epic North Dakota,

35
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: Georgia adventure. I am calling you from Lake Audubon, which

36
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: is right in between Bismarck and might not for those.

37
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: That are familiar with the area, I'm not.

38
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: Audubon is adjacent to It's like the sister lake to

39
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: Lake Sakakawilla, which you probably know. Lake Kakawea is the

40
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: largest man made lake in North America, sitting right in

41
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: the middle of the great state of North Dakota. I

42
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: am about twenty miles north of the legendary Fort Mandan, which,

43
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: as I'm sure you know, was where Lewis and Clark

44
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: spent their winter when they were mapping out the Louisiana

45
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: purchase trying to find their way over to the Pacific Ocean,

46
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: is out with Sokakawea, which the lake is named after. Now,

47
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: fair warning, if you're using this this podcast as a.

48
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: You know, travel planner for your next vacation, do not

49
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: expect to.

50
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: Go to Lake Mandan and or Lake Mandan Fort Mandan

51
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: and be in the actual fort that Lewis and Clark

52
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: stayed the winter in, because that fort is under this

53
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: is a replica fort. It's look at about three and

54
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: a half miles from the actual location. So just fair warning,

55
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: no lawsuits. Don't go there and tell them that, you know,

56
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: laugh with me podcast stars, you're wrong. You won't find

57
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: a very receptive audience. But in between going to you know,

58
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: legendary forts and not swimming in a lake because well

59
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: it's North Dakota and even though it's July, it's only

60
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: seventy four degrees today for the high. Woke up this

61
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: morning and it was fifty So, needless to say, I've

62
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: been wearing jeans and avoiding the water as much as possible. Literally,

63
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: I don't know how it is possible to live in

64
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: this climate, but hey, good on your North Dakota if

65
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: you can do it, God bless. But what I wanted

66
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: to up with tonight was just to get your thoughts

67
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: on Airbnb etiquette.

68
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: And now what I mean by that is, for.

69
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: The last century we've been we've been a pretty hotel

70
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: centric culture. Hey, we'll get a hotel, We'll all stay

71
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: in the hotel. If we're we need common areas, we're

72
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: just going to go down to the lobby.

73
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: Or we're in the breakfast area, We're going to hang

74
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 3: out there.

75
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: But the Airbnb kind of throws that all out of

76
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: the window because how do you decide presidents when not

77
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: all the options are equal?

78
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: So case in point, I'm here with my family, We're

79
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: an Airbnb.

80
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: There's a room that has a king sized bed, and

81
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: there's also a room that has bunk beds. So like,

82
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: this is very easy in my mind, my mind, I mean,

83
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: I I revert back to shotgun rules. If the car's

84
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: in distance and I can see the car and I

85
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: call out shotgun that I'm going to sit in the

86
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: front of that car, So I would assume that Airbnb

87
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: would work off the same rules I booked the Airbnb,

88
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 2: I get first pick of the rooms. But in observing

89
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: my parents and my aunt and uncle here on this trip.

90
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: That is not how Airbnb is solved at all.

91
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

92
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: There seems to be.

93
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: You know, a aversion.

94
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: To anybody claiming the bigger room.

95
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: It seems like, you know, it's almost like one of

96
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: those now, don't say it out loud that you want it, so,

97
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: you know, how is what is the most fair way

98
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: to solve.

99
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: You know, an impasse like that?

100
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: You know, just so that people who are booking airbnbs,

101
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: people that are getting into these situations with their families,

102
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: that they can address this in a mature fashion and say, hey,

103
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: I do want that room.

104
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: You know, what's it going to take for them to

105
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: get it? Rock paper scissors, game of uno. There's got

106
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: to be a better way, you know.

107
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: The Fort Mandan with Lewis and Clark, you know, brought

108
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: up kind of this argument, almost almost an identical argument

109
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: to me, because there's a room in Fort Mandan that

110
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: was Lewis, of Lewis and Clark. He stayed there, but

111
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: he also had his slave with him, and they would

112
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: share a bed. And so you see that bed in

113
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: the fort and you're like, that's not a very big

114
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: bed like those you know, that's.

115
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: A that's a very close sleeping arrangement. But we also

116
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: know from.

117
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: Accounts of like Abraham Lincoln's life and other notaries in

118
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: that that it was not uncommon that if you were

119
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: a guy traveling and you went to a hotel and

120
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: they were booked up, they might tell you to share

121
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: a hotel room with strangers. So then you think about

122
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: that and you're just like, well, man, all right, well,

123
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: if you got you know, two dudes.

124
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: Sharing a bed, you kind of know how it's going

125
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: to go.

126
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: But if you're putting three to a bed, I mean

127
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: that's almost that's almost airplane rules right there. I mean,

128
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: everybody wants the window, everybody wants the aisle, Like who

129
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: gets stuck with the middle. Could you imagine going to

130
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: a place like you're tired. Obviously you can't make the

131
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: reservation in advance, so you don't know what you're gonna get, Like,

132
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: you just want a place to stay for the night,

133
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden they're just saying like, oh, well,

134
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: these two dudes are going to be sharing a room

135
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: with you that you've never met. I mean, how do

136
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: you negotiate that without bloodshed?

137
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: Ah h, it's.

138
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: I'm I'm surveying the lake right now and it's very peaceful,

139
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 2: it's at dusk. But my heart is in turmoil, my

140
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: brain is in turmoil, and Jeremy, I'm really hoping that

141
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: you can shed some light and some clarity on this situation.

142
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: Thank you well, Eric, I don't understand why there has

143
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: to be bloodshed over having to share. I mean, it's

144
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: the hostile situation right where you're basically renting a bed

145
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: in a room in like a studio type room, and

146
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: you don't know who your bunk mates are gonna be.

147
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: But why does it have to end in bloodshed? You

148
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: think there'd be a logical way to figure that out.

149
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: There has to be a logical way to figure that

150
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: out that I'm sure he could ask around since he's

151
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: around this situation, because people aren't just randomly dying over

152
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: shared rooms, right. Something got me. You know, I'm sitting here,

153
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm working, We're grinding to episode one hundred. He's on vacation,

154
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, the temperature in the morning is

155
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: fifty degrees. You know what the temperature was this morning

156
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: here when I got up went to work at two

157
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: thirty am, it was eighty eight degrees and humid as

158
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: hal drenched in sweat, jrenched in sweat. And you know

159
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't like walking to work.

160
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: Guys.

161
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: You know you can hear you can obviously hear Eric's

162
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: walking around the lake. He's having a great time. I

163
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: was driving an air conditioning get to work, pick up

164
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: some trash, change some trash cans, drenched in sweat. Eighty

165
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: eight degrees to thirty am. Guys, it's not right. I

166
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: do like his idea about the airbnb thing. Look the

167
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: shotgun rules. Here's the thing. His family is not abiding

168
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: by shotgun rules. It doesn't even sound like he called.

169
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: If you, in my opinion, if you book the room

170
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: and you paid for it, you have the right to

171
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: decide if you want the bigger room or not. Here's

172
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: the thing. You also have the right to decide if

173
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: somebody else gets that bigger room, you get to make

174
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: that call. You could obviously then just make this just

175
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: quick side decision, which is now we're gonna give it

176
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: to the eldest group of the bunch, right, could be

177
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: his parents, could be his aunt and uncle Eric can

178
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: get the bunk bets, whatever, whatever makes sense for the group.

179
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: But that seems like an easy pick.

180
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 4: Dude.

181
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: He sounds like he's got this stressful situation. Oh, I'm

182
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: in the lake and I gotta decide which big ass

183
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: room I got this Airbnb. And it's nice and cool

184
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: out in the morning, and I'm walking around the lake

185
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: and I gotta wear jeans. Johnny, it's not that bad.

186
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: It's not that bad. Oh, poor guy's got it rough.

233
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 5: This is travelog number three, day seven of my epic

234
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 5: cross country trip from North Dakota to Georgia. I apologize

235
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 5: due to the lateness of my updates, but on my

236
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 5: last night in North Dakota, I ran into a attraction

237
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 5: called the shot Ski.

238
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: Which I'm sure you're familiar with, but just for the benefit.

239
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: Of your audience, I'll fill you in. It's a little

240
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: ski that you would ski down a mountain in the winter,

241
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: but instead of being used for skiing, this ski is

242
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: used for shots, and so it has four shot glasses

243
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: mounted along it and it allows four people to take

244
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: a shot at the same exact time.

245
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: My cousin owns one of these. I had a couple

246
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: of shot skis and YadA, YadA, YadA.

247
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 4: It took three days to get this update out to you,

248
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: but it brought up an interesting question of you know,

249
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 4: shots are kind of unique in that if you're an

250
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: individual and you're at a bar, or if.

251
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: You're just hanging out with friends and you line.

252
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: Up a shot just for yourself, you're on an alcoholic

253
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: and that's going to be you know.

254
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: What's remembered out of this. But if you line up

255
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,359
Speaker 3: a shot ski.

256
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: With four shots and you say, hey, everybody, come do

257
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: a shot with me, then you're just a fun person.

258
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: So it's kind of an interesting contradiction between you know,

259
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: one or all on that. But anyways, I digress.

260
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: I am in Atlanta now, and you know, I've been

261
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: to a Braves game.

262
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: I've enjoyed some of the local cultures.

263
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: I went to a metal brewery today, which is just

264
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: to say that they've played really loud music. When I

265
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: came in, I asked the bartender if he could shut

266
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, play the metal music at a lower volume

267
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: so that I could pick up my beer. And he

268
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: looked at me like I was crazy. I had to

269
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: explain to him that it was in fact a joke.

270
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: But one of the thoughts that I had in here

271
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: while I was down in Atlanta is Atlanta's home to

272
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 2: a lot of gentlemen's clubs that are that are famous

273
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: throughout the country. You know, one of them was used

274
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 2: during the you know, when the NBA was going through

275
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 2: its COVID year and they had their famous bubble. You know,

276
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: a player violated the bubble to go to a club

277
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, Magic City, and when confronted, he said that

278
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: he didn't go to see the ladies do get wings.

279
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: The wings were what drove him to break the COVID bubble.

280
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: And it kind of got me thinking, to you know,

281
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: what kind of businesses have like a side hustle that

282
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: they could really lean into Because.

283
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: You think about that, I mean, not only do you

284
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: have strippers, but you also have wings. I mean that's

285
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: that's a real double whammy.

286
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: And so you know, during the summer, you see a

287
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: lot of fundraisers that are car washes, or maybe you

288
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: have the cheerleading team doing a car wash, or you

289
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: have like different you know, college athletes doing car washes

290
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: or that kind of stuff. You know, what do strippers

291
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: do during the day where they just sleep, they get

292
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: they get ready for the next day.

293
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: Like, why don't you open.

294
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: A stripper car wash where I mean, put these girls

295
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 2: to work during the day, get them clean enough cars.

296
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's double income.

297
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 3: I can't believe nobody's ever.

298
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 2: Thought about that.

299
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: So that's insane.

300
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, I guess maybe give me

301
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 2: your thoughts on the stripper car wash.

302
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 3: You know what, what do you think that that could be?

303
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: You know what could become of that?

304
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: But you know what other opportunities are there for you know,

305
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: maybe an underutilized workforce that you know could pull a

306
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: double duty. AnyWho, I'll try to be better. I'll get

307
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: you another update tomorrow. We'll calculator.

308
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, dude, all right, I'm not like,

309
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: I'm not against the stripper car wash. Okay, I just

310
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: want to go on the on the record to saying

311
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm not against the stripper car wash. What I'm questioning

312
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: is because it's a theme, and I'm not just to say, oh,

313
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: that's the only kind of cars we have the strippers.

314
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: Different cool car washes would be awesome, Like themed car washes,

315
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: like where's the rock and roll car wash? You know

316
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: where you go in and you get your car wash

317
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: and there's flashing lights and loud music. Let'd be sweet.

318
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: But anyways, back to Eric's point, and it's not he's

319
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: been on vacation too long if he's at this point

320
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: where he's saying, not only do the strippers need to

321
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: come up with a car wash business, but they need

322
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: to also do their normal job at night as well,

323
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: like they need to work around the clock. Why why

324
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: is the workforce out there at such a point now

325
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: that Eric's solution is that strippers need to work more,

326
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: Why is that the solution?

327
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: Eric?

328
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: I disagree with that. With that, Big said he's onto

329
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: something with the car washes. Okay, so let's not throw

330
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: that aside. I just don't understand why we got to

331
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: work these poor girls around the clock just because of

332
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: the idea of the stripper car wash. Why can't they

333
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: choose one or the other. All right, there's there's labor laws. Eric,

334
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: there's labor laws, and the shot sky sounds awesome. Here's

335
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: the thing. If I go to the bar and I'm like,

336
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, order me a beer and a shot just

337
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: for me, maybe that's just I want to, Like, I

338
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: just that's what I want. I want to I want

339
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: to have a beer and I want to have a shot.

340
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: I just want to kind of like chill, Like I

341
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: just want to like get the buzz going. Okay, this

342
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: is my way of relaxing. And then chilling at the

343
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: bar doesn't make me an alcoholic because I bought myself

344
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: a shot. Eric's over here calling me an alcoholist because

345
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: I'll buy a sh not just for me. That's ridiculous.

346
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: But I do agree that if you buy four shots,

347
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, everybody, thet's who shot? You're social. That's huge,

348
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: that's a win for the entire group. I'm with you

349
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: on that, dude. But to call everybody who's to decide

350
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: because I have a beer at eight am, now I'm

351
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: an alcoholic? Like who makes that call? Huh?

352
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 3: Not me?

353
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: Well, Eric has made it to Atlanta. He is in

354
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: Georgia for this what feels like it's been like a

355
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: mufflong vacation. But we'll hear more from him, and uh,

356
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: we'll catch up with them next episode. But it sounds

357
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: like he's having a great time. His mind is not

358
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: with it, guys. At this point. He's asking strippers to

359
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: work around the clock in various different businesses and anybody

360
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: who's ordering shots and alcoholic this is where this is

361
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: where Eric's brain's at. And he's in the cold in

362
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: the Da Codas. But now, I've been as hot as

363
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: hal in Georgia. I like how you didn't mention that.

364
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: He didn't mention how hot it was in Georgia. Don't

365
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: you dare bring out the temperature now when we're sweating

366
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: an eighty eight degree humidity feels like one hundred at

367
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 1: two thirty am. All right, Eric, we'll be back with

368
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: more vacation updates. I promise you the Vetti Vegas in

369
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: the next episode. Finally, it's been a long time since

370
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: we've had Vetti back on the show. I'm sure, I'm

371
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: sure we'll have some words in regards to that. Thanks

372
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: for listening, guys,
