Speaker 1: It's time for the Bobby Bones post show.
Speaker 2: Here's your host, Bobby Bone.
Speaker 3: We just got off the air, so there are a
Speaker 3: lot of people on the phone still wanting to have
Speaker 3: their voices heard.
Speaker 1: So let's do that. Cindy in Richmond, Virginia, Hi, Cindy,
Speaker 1: what would you like to say?
Speaker 4: Oh, I just have a different take instead of leaving
Speaker 4: minus the money for the trash guy.
Speaker 1: H she got put back on hold.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm actually doing right now. And I give it
Speaker 4: to recycling trash mailman, neighbors. And the recycling guy actually
Speaker 4: brings our current cannon to suit away for us to
Speaker 4: give him water during the summer.
Speaker 1: And so you cut out a little bit. So what
Speaker 1: are you doing for them? What are you giving them?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 6: I make fudge, sudge fudge.
Speaker 1: That's nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's trifudge. And and so yeah, I give it
Speaker 4: to the well the recitement guy. There's two of them
Speaker 4: in the truck. I least two of them.
Speaker 3: Do our phone suck that bad ray where they just
Speaker 3: fall off the line and then it dropped and then
Speaker 3: it dropped completely.
Speaker 1: Give us you goes, Oh, well, I'm sorry that happened
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 7: It's a good to wave an it guy come by
Speaker 7: in about ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Geez uh fudge. So I think the idea. I think
Speaker 1: the idea is great, oh fudge. No.
Speaker 3: I don't like to eat food that I don't know
Speaker 3: the person they cooked it. Yeah, unless it's a restaurant.
Speaker 3: And even then I'm still like, I bet they spit
Speaker 3: in it. That'd be tough for me. But yes, excellent,
Speaker 3: I'm a weirdo. I'm sure they'll love it. Let's go
Speaker 3: over and talk to Brill in Oklahoma until the phone
Speaker 3: cuts them off.
Speaker 8: Brill, you're on, yes, sir, I was just wanting to
Speaker 8: touch based on the tipping the trash man, Yes, sir,
Speaker 8: I uh, well, when I regally called me and I
Speaker 8: agreed with lunch Box heavily. But I don't know. I've
Speaker 8: I've kind of thought about it a little bit as
Speaker 8: a fit here. And I'm a dad of three little girls.
Speaker 8: I'm a blue collar man, and uh you know, I've
Speaker 8: I've worked hurricanes and stuff like that, and I've seen
Speaker 8: I've seen ground zero and stuff like that, and America
Speaker 8: is kind of shaken that it's cooler.
Speaker 4: So I don't know.
Speaker 8: Uh, I think there's a time when when you need
Speaker 8: to help out you need to tip. And and I
Speaker 8: think now it is one of those times, you know,
Speaker 8: if if you see a situation where you know someone
Speaker 8: could use.
Speaker 1: It, Oh, we lost them.
Speaker 3: It's like we're in prison and the phone cuts off
Speaker 3: with like at a time you can't talk to.
Speaker 1: What he's he's back, look, go ahead, Brian, Okay.
Speaker 8: I was just calling out. I agree with you, lunchbox
Speaker 8: and in a sense, but I also agree with Bobby
Speaker 8: in a sense. You know, Uh, America's America's it's tough
Speaker 8: right now in a lot of situations no matter how
Speaker 8: you look at it. And so uh, and it's if
Speaker 8: you know a situation where you know you think you
Speaker 8: need the tip, I think it's good to tip. But
Speaker 8: also at the same time, I think there's overtime hours
Speaker 8: and stuff like that. Yeah, for situations where it takes
Speaker 8: more than a day or more than a set hours
Speaker 8: to get the achievable job done.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Because this guy's blue collar, like I am.
Speaker 1: You're not blue collar. Nothing about you.
Speaker 9: What's his name? Me and him are the same, you know.
Speaker 10: And so you say you've been on ground zero like
Speaker 10: tornadoes and hurricanes and things like that, do people tip
Speaker 10: you when you go do that.
Speaker 1: They probably what if they were like, hey.
Speaker 5: We'd like to tip.
Speaker 8: That's one thing, you know, I've never got a tip
Speaker 8: to show up with a cooler eyes, chest full of
Speaker 8: waters or try to give you o case a thirty
Speaker 8: pack of beers or something like that. But no, I'm
Speaker 8: definitely not getting tipped.
Speaker 9: Yep, I'll see.
Speaker 11: I mean, well, I do agree.
Speaker 8: With you in a lot of in a lot of way.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: It's well, what I don't agree with is that the
Speaker 3: guy's not saying you have to tip me.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure a lot of people are reaching out
Speaker 1: going how do we get a hold of you? Two
Speaker 1: tip you? So you put this thing there.
Speaker 10: Okay, So now from now for the rest of the
Speaker 10: year and the description of the podcast, can we please
Speaker 10: put you can tip lunch.
Speaker 3: Say that on the show? Please send me my Amazon
Speaker 3: gift gift list.
Speaker 9: Yeah I do.
Speaker 1: That's you doing that.
Speaker 10: But I'm saying, like now that I need this guy
Speaker 10: puts it on every trash can. So I want on
Speaker 10: everybody that downloads this podcast and know that they can
Speaker 10: tip me via Venmo.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, delete that. Don't put a Venmo up
Speaker 1: on this? What go over that?
Speaker 2: All?
Speaker 1: Right? Thank you, Brian. I have a good day and
Speaker 1: it's messed up man.

Speaker 5: Oh? I was just calling in on the whole trash
Speaker 5: situation and tip from the trash guys recycle guys.

Speaker 5: Christmas cards. I got fifteen hundred customers a week that
Speaker 5: I leave Christmas cards for personal, you know. And we
Speaker 5: don't expect a tip, but it's always nice to see
Speaker 5: it when we do get it.
Speaker 1: So I think that's exactly.
Speaker 5: Appreciated, exactly, you know. And I know some of them
Speaker 5: do leave the envelope tips. I personally just leave the
Speaker 5: personal's card and if they so choose to leave me
Speaker 5: a tip.

Speaker 11: but we can't put our name and address on them.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I appreciate that.
Speaker 11: A happy holidays and merry Christmas. And if people tip us,

Speaker 11: It's about twenty bucks ten twenty bucks.
Speaker 10: Okay, and how much do you end up getting like
Speaker 10: you rack up over the holiday season.
Speaker 11: It really depends on the route in the area. We've
Speaker 11: got one route a guy makes about five thousand. With me,
Speaker 11: it's about a thousand.
Speaker 9: Do you see this?
Speaker 12: Guys, that's awesome.

Speaker 11: YouTube Bobby.
Speaker 3: See Jessica and Texas is on. We'll get off that
Speaker 3: and see what jess gas to say. Hey Jessica, hie,
Speaker 3: Hey what's going on? You're on the show.
Speaker 13: Hey, just had a couple of questions and just some
Speaker 13: advice say for me right, if.
Speaker 5: That's possible, Yes, go ahead, trying to make it quick.
Speaker 13: I know she took you, didn't how much time as
Speaker 13: it is is I have I'm forty fish now. And
Speaker 13: I've always told a long time job for my family,
Speaker 13: never been fired in my life. And I found this job.
Speaker 13: I left another one to go to this one because
Speaker 13: it was like the dream job, like I've wanted it
Speaker 13: in my entire life. My office family pat this boss
Speaker 13: was very well known everywhere in this state.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 13: Oh and I had done like business cards and I
Speaker 13: you know, hated out hundreds of them already and had
Speaker 13: family members moved to this company. And I thought I
Speaker 13: was doing great, had my review the middle of November. Oh,
Speaker 13: you're doing a great job. You're where you're supposed to be,
Speaker 13: You're learning the system and everything is great. Worked my
Speaker 13: butt off, do my job.
Speaker 5: Five o five.
Speaker 13: End of the day last week. He walks in and I'm
Speaker 13: telling him everything I did for today. I had to
Speaker 13: smile on my face. This is what I've done, you
Speaker 13: know a lot of a lot of things. And he
Speaker 13: interrupted me and said, I'm letting you go no reason,
Speaker 13: get a paper, and had three sipulations that I do not,
Speaker 13: of course give him that publicity because he is very
Speaker 13: public as I was with him, very public in pictures
Speaker 13: and everywhere. So now the embarrassment is me having to
Speaker 13: walk out in public is pretty embarrassing.
Speaker 5: What I have to say.
Speaker 13: I don't work there anymore. So I haven't exactly told
Speaker 13: people I was fired because it wasn't because he said
Speaker 13: I'll give you a thousand dollars? Did he resign or
Speaker 13: I can go in terminate you as for a reason.
Speaker 5: We're in at will state.
Speaker 13: No reason.
Speaker 5: You don't fit in.
Speaker 13: You don't fit in with our family. And there's about
Speaker 13: fifteen of them who worked there. You just don't fit in.
Speaker 13: Some letting you go. So December first, right at Christmas,
Speaker 13: leg goes on the job that I know I didn't
Speaker 13: mess up long because I had my review everything.
Speaker 3: Oh God, cut off this look luck luck like maybe
Speaker 3: should hear this back? Because we lost her on the phone.
Speaker 3: I wonder what the reason is. There's always in Yeah,
Speaker 3: but there's always a reason.
Speaker 9: He literally said, you don't fit in.
Speaker 1: I hear you. But there's always a reason.
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying it's her. It's something that she's doing.
Speaker 3: But either there's toxicity around you, or you're toxic, or
Speaker 3: the mix isn't good. Maybe you don't really, So there
Speaker 3: is no such thing as no reason pardon the double negative.
Speaker 1: It was gonna It sucks. It was near Christmas. It sucks.
Speaker 1: She got fired.
Speaker 3: Can't change that. No one is gonna look at you
Speaker 3: and go I saw her in a picture with that
Speaker 3: boss ooh shame. Don't be embarrassed. People quit, lose jobs,
Speaker 3: move on all the time. Not a single person's gonna go.
Speaker 3: You're not working there anymore. I feel different about you.
Speaker 3: That is not gonna happen. I feel like it is
Speaker 3: because we are so wrapped up in ourselves that we
Speaker 3: think everybody is looking at us all the time.
Speaker 1: Either or not.
Speaker 3: You mess up big, You're like God, it's so embarrassing.
Speaker 3: People always gonna remember. Nobody's remembered a dang thing and
Speaker 3: generally and so don't worry about that either. But what
Speaker 3: you can't affect is everything going forward. Yep, that's all
Speaker 3: you can affect. You can have, you can harbor emotions,
Speaker 3: you can be resentful, you can be angry, but you
Speaker 3: can't let that take over so much that it affects
Speaker 3: everything going forward, or you're just going to stay in
Speaker 3: the hole longer.
Speaker 1: Your goal is to get out of the hole. Your
Speaker 1: goal is to get back on your feet.
Speaker 3: Your goal is to start making calls and connections, not
Speaker 3: even just to get a job immediately, although you need one,
Speaker 3: but it's to let people know, hey, you're willing and
Speaker 3: you're available, and you can only affect today.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: So, and maybe you do like a post mortem, try
Speaker 3: to figure out exactly what happened. It could have been
Speaker 3: a toxic place where everybody hated your guts because it's
Speaker 3: something that they do, something that you do. I don't know,
Speaker 3: dynamics are different, but it just it was not for
Speaker 3: no reason. I've never seen anybody get fired for no
Speaker 3: reason unless it's a budget issue, and that's still a reason.
Speaker 12: But if you're saying not that this is a valid reason,
Speaker 12: but if you're saying you don't fit in, that's sort
Speaker 12: of whatever reason, that's his reason.
Speaker 1: Sure, But she's saying there's no reason. That's a reason.
Speaker 3: But I'm saying that could be a toxic culture in
Speaker 3: the office and she doesn't fit that, or she's toxic
Speaker 3: with the rest of the culture.
Speaker 12: To me, because it wasn't laid out in a clear
Speaker 12: way why you're being let go, it doesn't seem like
Speaker 12: it is a very in my opinion, healthy environment, and
Speaker 12: you should just move forward. Like Bobby was saying, I
Speaker 12: think the best thing you can do is go show
Speaker 12: up and do an amazing job somewhere else, and who knows,
Speaker 12: maybe they'll regret letting you go.
Speaker 3: It would have been nice if they were just waited
Speaker 3: till January to fire though. Yeah the time, I didn't
Speaker 3: want to pay it for time off for vacation all day,
Speaker 3: So that sucks.
Speaker 1: It's a sucky situation for sure.
Speaker 3: I would sometimes we're not aware of what everybody else
Speaker 3: is aware of. I would try to find out what
Speaker 3: was really happening, even from somebody else that was working there.
Speaker 1: So it's tough to hear because sometimes it's your.
Speaker 12: Fault, I guess potentially, So yeah, you don't you don't
Speaker 12: take that into the next place.
Speaker 9: Have you ever got fired?
Speaker 1: I'm not answering that because I don't want to jinx it.
Speaker 9: What I got laid off one time, man, But let
Speaker 9: not fire O the same thing. Man. It's not How
Speaker 9: is it different? You don't have a job, right.
Speaker 6: But they're saying that's your fault.
Speaker 3: But it's different because if a company goes out of business,
Speaker 3: well you don't have a job, But that's different.
Speaker 6: Got it? You didn't do anything to deserve that.
Speaker 1: Company went under. So there are different reasons you don't
Speaker 1: have a.
Speaker 6: Job, you're layoffs, but yeah, but if you get fired
Speaker 6: you did something.
Speaker 3: Sometimes they hire people back that were laid off because
Speaker 3: of whatever they couldn't do with the financials, like, oh,
Speaker 3: we now have bounced back, we can hire people back
Speaker 3: that happened on this company.
Speaker 9: So you're telling me I got laid off because I
Speaker 9: was too good.
Speaker 3: Sure, I don't want to jinx it, so I will
Speaker 3: refuse to answer, but you can get your answer from that.
Speaker 1: Got it? Why?
Speaker 6: I just wonder what that's like. I've never gotten fired.
Speaker 6: I've been laid off, but never you're out of here.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: I guess I was laid off, although I've never actually
Speaker 3: been laid off. Eddie and I worked at a local
Speaker 3: TV station together, and one day I was about to
Speaker 3: go into work and he was like, hey, you don't
Speaker 3: need to go in anymore. I was like, why he
Speaker 3: goes They they cut everybody, shut the doors, and I
Speaker 3: was like, what about me? He's like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: how are you going to work it? They're not even
Speaker 3: open anymore. Nobody haven't been fired.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so technically he probably still works there.
Speaker 3: Jumping checks every two weeks, so I guess that's a
Speaker 3: thing I stopped going.
Speaker 6: It's a weird feeling, you know, when you get told
Speaker 6: like all right, your job's done. You really start thinking like, okay,
Speaker 6: well what do I do? And especially on a Friday,
Speaker 6: I can't do anything today or holiday.
Speaker 3: I can't do anything for two weeks, right when you
Speaker 3: got to buy gifts or get places.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sucks. I'm sorry about that hanging there.
Speaker 3: I mean, weaker people have gotten through tougher things and
Speaker 3: come out really, really good. So we got faith in
Speaker 3: you hanging there. All right, let's do a little mid
Speaker 3: role here.

Speaker 3: on social media where when someone falls intobody takes a
Speaker 3: picture of it.
Speaker 10: Pictures Highway five Sonic Ditch, Benton, Arkansas, Infamous Benton, what
Speaker 10: is it? Infamous Benton Ditch prompts fan page. They have
Speaker 10: now a fan page of the ditch, and.
Speaker 1: I guess I wouldn't fill the ditch. There's a fan
Speaker 1: page in there before trucks sitting in there. So we
Speaker 1: had a whole deal on our show. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: will you tell our listeners what your role is at Sonic.
Speaker 7: I'm a local franchise here in Nashville, got thirty two
Speaker 7: stores throughout Nashville and northern Alabama.
Speaker 3: Did you hear that Chichin when he was talking. He's
Speaker 3: so rich when he talks chine today. So we were
Speaker 3: talking here on the show. We're doing a thing. We
Speaker 3: bought a big palette of goods. All that stuff was
Speaker 3: returned from Amazon. You don't know what's in it. We
Speaker 3: bought it and then we went through it to see
Speaker 3: what it is. Now we're going to sell it back
Speaker 3: individually and try to make money, and Lunchbock goes, why
Speaker 3: don't we go have a yard sell it to Sonic And
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, Sonic wants us to go and shut
Speaker 3: down the whole side of their their restaurant, all of
Speaker 3: the drive ins for a bunch of garbage that we're
Speaker 3: selling one offs. And he's like, they would do it,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I don't want to do it because
Speaker 3: when Sony have drive around, it's not like you can
Speaker 3: drive in.
Speaker 1: There's no drive in and back out.
Speaker 3: Well, if someone to say it's not us this, somebody
Speaker 3: came out. So we went into a yard selling your sonic.
Speaker 7: What would you say a yard selling my sonic? We
Speaker 7: have done some fundraisers.
Speaker 1: Oh this is not fundraiser. This is a very selfish thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're not a profit raiser.
Speaker 10: But just hear me out, like as a businessman. On
Speaker 10: a Saturday morning, we're there at seven am. We take
Speaker 10: up half the parking lot. The other half the stalls
Speaker 10: are open. People are gonna walk up, They're gonna buy
Speaker 10: a shower head from us, and they're gonna buy a
Speaker 10: cherry line made from you.
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't understand how that's a loose.
Speaker 1: If you understand the loop, you can't really drive into us.
Speaker 9: If we guess what, they can back out.
Speaker 1: You can't because people have to come in.
Speaker 9: Okay, guess what. They can walk up to the stall
Speaker 9: this one time. Okay, we can figure it out.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 7: I've got some stores that are in shopping centers. See
Speaker 7: ding Park next door. We do some of that count
Speaker 7: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And then you have to get clear to the shopping center.
Speaker 1: Lch box. It's that they don't own the shopping center.
Speaker 9: But the shopping center can't control who parks there.
Speaker 1: That they can control who does a yard selling their property.
Speaker 9: But we can. It's in their sonics lot is where
Speaker 9: the yard sale is.
Speaker 1: People park, Please tell them this is a ridiculous idea.
Speaker 7: It's a ridiculous ideal lunch, but you kind of I
Speaker 7: like it. I like it.
Speaker 10: You like it because we'd be like, Hey, this Saturday,
Speaker 10: we're going to be at the Sonic at this location.
Speaker 10: You know how many people are going to show up
Speaker 10: to that sonic more than they've showed up in the.
Speaker 9: Last six months?
Speaker 1: He said corn He said corn dogs Days were huge.
Speaker 10: I understand corn dog Day is huge, but we will
Speaker 10: have people travel from across America.
Speaker 1: That's not true, not for the garbage we bought.
Speaker 12: Yes, if it was like legit stuff that.
Speaker 1: People want, the baseball.
Speaker 12: Cards, people are not going to drive cross country. Do
Speaker 12: you get a shower curtain.
Speaker 9: Rod signed by the Bybone show and a chair in line?
Speaker 9: Made I think they'd be there.
Speaker 6: That rope was pretty cool, the big rope exactly by that?
Speaker 3: Okay, So anyway we have tuggle war matches with that
Speaker 3: rope in the parking lot and winner gets a cheeseburger?
Speaker 1: Are you paying with the cheeburger that's on the house?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 7: Got it?
Speaker 9: Of course? We don see how many?
Speaker 3: How many corn dogs do you guys make? Whenever it's Halloween.
Speaker 7: We probably had some store selling three four five thousand
Speaker 7: why a day?
Speaker 9: Oh my god?
Speaker 7: On corn Dog Day buddy matter of fact, a buddy
Speaker 7: mine in Sarcey, Arkansas. You know where that's at. They
Speaker 7: do a contest. They've got about thirty locations. Also when
Speaker 7: they do a contest over corn dog Day, if you
Speaker 7: can guess how many corn dogs all their stores sell combined,
Speaker 7: they give like a one hundred dollars gift cards and
Speaker 7: they've got a store same way selling three and four
Speaker 7: and five thousand a day.
Speaker 1: Do you have that many cooked frar cookers?
Speaker 7: You can cook probably sixty seventy at.
Speaker 1: A time, is it none? Stop though it then sixty
Speaker 1: back in.
Speaker 7: You pre brand, you cook them, hold them, cook them,
Speaker 7: hold them, and you have several hundred ready to go
Speaker 7: because you'll have people come and get forty, somebody get thirty,
Speaker 7: so you can't cook them to order that way, you
Speaker 7: gotta anticipate.
Speaker 3: I don't know that I've ever had a corn dog.
Speaker 3: It's not really my thing from Sonic. I would have
Speaker 3: like a coney, Yeah, I would have even then chick
Speaker 3: I like, I like the bite chicken up. So I
Speaker 3: never got a corn dog. Are corn dogs all the
Speaker 3: time popular?
Speaker 7: Yeah? We sell quite a few kids only, no kids
Speaker 7: and adults. We had a lot of adults. That's my
Speaker 7: favorite walk to the kitchen.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, but you grab it.
Speaker 3: But if you're going to Sonic, you're driving all the
Speaker 3: way up the I'm probably not going to order something
Speaker 3: that'd been like salivating over before I get there.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 7: We sell a bunch though, yeah, little bunch. That's why
Speaker 7: they're so popular on Cornbalk.
Speaker 1: They are good, which yeah, I know, we ate them
Speaker 1: all up here in like five seconds.
Speaker 6: What about drinks, like which one is the most popular drink?
Speaker 6: Cherry Lime made? Yeah, ocean water people like Ocean Wire
Speaker 6: is my favorite.
Speaker 7: Ocean Water's good, But the cherry Line Made is the
Speaker 7: nationwide drink. That's what I like. That's why. That's why
Speaker 7: you see you'd ever board a cherry Line made?
Speaker 1: Why'd you buy your first Sonic?
Speaker 7: Why?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I wanted to make a living.
Speaker 1: Did you do one?
Speaker 7: Started out with one? When I?
Speaker 9: Did you work there first?
Speaker 12: And then decide? Or are you just did you work
Speaker 12: at Sonic first?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, I got hired at seventeen as a cook
Speaker 7: with the thought of being a manager. Or the guy
Speaker 7: that hired me. I worked for him at Wendy's and
Speaker 7: he called me and say, I want you to quit
Speaker 7: there and come here. He gave me a die more
Speaker 7: an hour. You know, back in seventy eight that was
Speaker 7: a lot of money. So yeah, I'll quit. So I
Speaker 7: went to work for him and we talked and he
Speaker 7: made me an assistant manager, and then I flew Adala and
Speaker 7: got into my first deal.
Speaker 9: Out take it twenty four you could buy a Sonic?
Speaker 7: I did?
Speaker 1: Yeah, take a loan st meeting a burger loan.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I took a loan out. Yeah, my partner
Speaker 7: signed co signed the note for it.
Speaker 1: Scary.
Speaker 7: It was really scary. And of course I bought my
Speaker 7: first one. I didn't spend that much money. But then
Speaker 7: when I built my first one, that was scary.
Speaker 1: That was because it's so much more.
Speaker 7: That was like a seven hundred thousand dollars deal back
Speaker 7: in eighty four.
Speaker 6: That's a lot that would you would you say that
Speaker 6: starting something like this is risky and you've got to
Speaker 6: just take risks and do it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but but we we had a good background. We've
Speaker 7: been my partners have been around for a long time,
Speaker 7: and so they knew how to do it, and so
Speaker 7: we started building and just kept building and building.
Speaker 1: What about people, I don't know, it's hypothetical here.
Speaker 3: They're always talking about doing deals right and always talking
Speaker 3: about making money, and I always talk about how he's
Speaker 3: going to do all this stuff and but never does
Speaker 3: anything ever and also doesn't shut up about it. Would
Speaker 3: you ever do go into business with something like that hypothetically?
Speaker 7: No, I don't know. It depends the talking about me.
Speaker 1: We said, no, it's hypothetical because They like, I.
Speaker 9: Don't do anything, but I make moves. Get in here,
Speaker 9: what moves?
Speaker 1: What business moves? Have you ever made?
Speaker 9: How we make that? Paladin here?
Speaker 10: Lawnmowing business? Let me tell you force? And I rushed,
Speaker 10: We rushed you, guys said, did I ever make moves?
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, did we make moves? We had a
Speaker 10: monopoly on our neighborhood. People tried to.
Speaker 9: Come into business and ran them out of town. They
Speaker 9: couldn't handle it.
Speaker 1: Did you go beat them up?
Speaker 9: No? People knew.
Speaker 6: What about the Disney movies?
Speaker 10: Disney movies? Oh, me and my buddy Oscar shout out
Speaker 10: Oscar for.
Speaker 1: Years and this guy can because it was illegal.
Speaker 10: We were we were importing Disney DVDs from a foreign
Speaker 10: country and we were selling them on eBay and we
Speaker 10: were making cash hand over fist.
Speaker 9: And one time you got one order, well, no, we
Speaker 9: got two orders.
Speaker 10: And then we were like, all right, we did small
Speaker 10: orders to see you you know, test market.
Speaker 9: You know how you get to do that. You get
Speaker 9: to test see if people want it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we test stuff here.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you test.
Speaker 10: You tested a new burger, a new slush, and you
Speaker 10: see if people like it, and then you go nationwide
Speaker 10: and so we decided all right, we're all in, and
Speaker 10: so we put all of our money back into the
Speaker 10: business and got a big shipment and we got to
Speaker 10: know from customs saying if you want to come get them,
Speaker 10: you can come get them. So that business went under.
Speaker 9: When it happens, you know, you when you do businesses,
Speaker 9: not all of them are going.
Speaker 6: To succeed, especially if they're illegal. Yeah, it happened.
Speaker 10: If you're committing crimes, it's don't think it's committing crime
Speaker 10: selling DVDs.
Speaker 3: It's you're buying illegal DVD's that are bootlegg That's I
Speaker 3: didn't know that.
Speaker 1: You did know that because you told us you were
Speaker 1: doing it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but that's my defense is I didn't know it
Speaker 10: for the custom agent, like, hey man, I just saw
Speaker 10: them online.
Speaker 9: I wanted to buy them.
Speaker 1: Do you do you have interesting having more sonics?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, well let's.
Speaker 1: Go, give me a coil.
Speaker 9: I'm ready to go.
Speaker 7: I mean, we tried to.
Speaker 1: Do our y Olahoma. We can't get the property over there.
Speaker 11: I know.
Speaker 7: We've got so many people working for us that have
Speaker 7: worked for us for a long time that we really
Speaker 7: want to help them out and get them started.
Speaker 10: So is that how you do it, Like, if you
Speaker 10: have an employee, you bring them on it. An owner
Speaker 10: of a Sonic.
Speaker 7: Of our thirty two locations probably thirty album started as
Speaker 7: a cook or a car hop or a fountains like
Speaker 7: I did, and they stayed with us as an assistant,
Speaker 7: and hey, they wanted to do it, so we put
Speaker 7: faith them.
Speaker 10: And so like when you do that, like how much
Speaker 10: of a percentage do they get? They get one hundred percent,
Speaker 10: twenty five that's not bad.
Speaker 1: So they get twenty five if what they run it.
Speaker 7: Twenty five percent ownership and they run the store.
Speaker 1: But are they having to invest their on money?
Speaker 7: They invest them with money. We co signed their deal.
Speaker 1: That's cool. I mean I don't need a cosign.
Speaker 3: I just need a proper I just need the territory
Speaker 3: we didn't battling for.
Speaker 10: How do they ever get paid? Is it they have
Speaker 10: to sell out? Or do you get twenty five percent
Speaker 10: of the sale?
Speaker 7: Twenty five percent dividend every month if the store makes money,
Speaker 7: they get twenty.
Speaker 3: Five probably net profit. If I'm the net profit, do
Speaker 3: you know what that means? Yeah, had so much money,
Speaker 3: you make no net?
Speaker 1: But what's net? And gross?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 9: Gross?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 9: I already know this. I watched Shark Tank. Guys.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: I'm not asking, I'm asking. Just say it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, net is after you take out the taxes and
Speaker 10: pay everything, and that's what you get.
Speaker 9: Gross is like, oh man, look at all this money
Speaker 9: I made. Yeah, like, oh man, good job. It's gross
Speaker 9: because it's so big. You know.
Speaker 7: We buy the land, build a building and then the
Speaker 7: manager runs it and they own twenty five in the business.
Speaker 7: We own real estate, and so that's that's.
Speaker 1: Why I want to be on that side.
Speaker 9: So do they pay you rent?
Speaker 7: Let's go they pay us rent? Yeah, yeah, that real estate.
Speaker 10: That's yeah, that's what I almost did too.

Speaker 7: You got a leap, you got to jump out there.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you? Doesn't do well.
Speaker 9: I mean we almost did it, But what you almost did?
Speaker 9: What I mean? I don't want to say it because
Speaker 9: what if I still do it?

Speaker 1: I'll probably hold you up from like making millions of
Speaker 1: dollars or something.
