  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Nice I am six forty handle here the day before Halloween,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: third day, October thirtieth. Quick word about ask Handle anything
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: we do at tomorrow at eight thirty. And this is
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: where you ask me anything and I answer virtually everything,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: and it's all designed to humiliate me and it generally works.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And here's what happens. You have to ask the question.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: So go on the iHeartRadio app during the course of
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the show, click onto the Bill Handle show upper right
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: hand corner microphone, click on that and record your question.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Neil chooses them and we play them at eight thirty tomorrow.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Now yesterday an interesting announcement where Donald Trump says the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: US will immediately start testing nuclear weapons. Now I agree
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: with his premise that if other countries testing their nuclear weapons,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: then we should react to that and test our nuclear weapons.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: But here's where he conflated just a little bit. First
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of all, we've been talking about the last major agreement
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: was back when H. George HW Bush signed the Comprehensive
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in nineteen ninety six. The Senate
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: refused to ratify it, and all treat all treaties must
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: be ratified by the Senate.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: We are not part of it. However, we've lived up
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: All the terms we are following, and what it means
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is no nuclear testing. There are a couple times. There
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: are a couple of ways of testing nuclear weapons. One
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: is underground, which they've been doing since nineteen sixty when
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: In grade school.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: There were two major stories that I remember when JFK
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: was president, certainly when he was assassinated, but during the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: course the first three years, and I was a young guy,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: but I still remember this. One was Alaska and Hawaii
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: being incorporated in the United States as states. That was
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: nineteen sixty, by the way, it hasn't been that long ago.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And number two the Test Ban Treaty that was signed
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: with Russia, and the test Ban Treaty said there are
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: no more atmospheric nuclear tests. That before that, starting from
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: World War Two right up to nineteen sixty, the testing
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: would be in the atmosphere.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: They would throw missiles up and.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Explode nuclear weapons in the sky, and everybody realized, yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you know, that's maybe that's not such a good idea,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: so they moved it to underground, where we tested probably
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: a thousand different tests the United States did and it
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: was underground in Nevada, which is why you don't want
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: to be a spilunker because when you are you don't
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: actually need those lights.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: You glow yourself.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And so the testing went underground and nobody has since
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six, we have not exploded a test. We
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: have not exploded a weapon underground. The only people that
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: have NUCA is North Korea. They have because they don't
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: agree to anything, and so do they still test? Yeah,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: they actually do. But let me tell you how it's done.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: They do it with computer modeling. That's the testing that's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: being done. And I had a friend of mine that
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: worked up at Lawrence Livermore Lab up in northern California
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and they developed nuclear devices. They you know, technology just
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: gets better and better across the board, so as they're
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: new TVs and new new nuclear weapons, and the testing
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: was always done on a computer model and that's the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: way it works. Well, why is Trump now saying that
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: we are going to start testing, Well, because China and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Russia are going to start testing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Particularly Russia. But it's not testing nuclear weapons that Russia
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: is doing.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: It's delivery systems is what they're testing how to get
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the nuclears weapons to a given target.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That's the testing.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And so when President Trump says they are testing nuclear
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: weapons and we are going to engage in testing, they're
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: not what he's What he should be saying is following.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: What's actually happening is Russia is testing delivery systems. Therefore
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we should test delivery systems. And Russia talks about it's
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: hyper missile and a torpedo so that moves so quickly
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: that it's you can't defend against it. Now on Air
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Force One on the way back from South Korea, he
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: did say that the process will begin immediately. We don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: know what that means. And because of other countries testing programs. Again,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: what they're testing is delivery systems, not the weapons themselves.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I've instructed the Department of War to start testing are
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapons on equal basis and that will happen right now.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And then a reporter asked him is the world entering
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a more risky environment when it comes to these nuclear issues,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and he said no, I don't think so. I think
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: we pretty well have it locked up. But I see
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: them testing, and again he leaves out, I see them
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: testing delivery systems, not the nuclear weapons themselves. And I say, well,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: they're going to test. I guess we have to test.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: He'd like to see a de nuclearization program, and that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: would be a tremendous thing. That's true, And he said
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it's something we're actually talking to Russia about. I don't
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: know what they're talking to Rush about, because Putin keeps
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: on testing these delivery systems and he is. As a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, Russia has created a couple of ways
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: of delivering nuclear weapons that I don't think we've come up,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: we've come close to.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And so you know what's going to happen. Well, I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Is Trump going to go forward and start the nuclear
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: tests in Nevada? And the politics of that. You have
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Nevadians or Nevado's whatever, they all they call people citizens
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: of Nevada, residents of Nevada's, they're not going to be
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: happy about it. They're internationally people aren't going to other
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: countries aren't going to be happy about it. And there
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: are a lot of countries that are not big fans
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: of Donald Trump to begin with. But can you imagine
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: starting another nuclear war, not actual war, but a nuclear
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: testing war. I mean, we don't need it, and we
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: have the technology. From what I understand, we have the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: technology to do all the testing we want by way
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: of this computer modeling. So I don't get it now
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the basic premise, I agree. If the other countries, particularly
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Russia and China, that's what we're talking about. North Korea
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: is going to test itself to obolivion and there's nothing
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: anybody can do about that. And they have maybe a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: couple hundred weapons. China, well, Russia and the United States
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: have about the same over five thousand of these nuclear weapons.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for this one? You know what they
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: used to have with the United States and Russia had.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: The United States had thirty thousand of them at one
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: point and Russia is in the twenty thousands. How's that
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: for the ability to blow up this earth into little
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: tiny pieces? Now it's down because we've done all kinds
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: of treaties reducing the very weapons down to about five
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: thousand each. United States a little bit ahead by a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: couple of hundred, and when you talk about North Korea,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: it's way down. So who are the major countries that
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: have them? While North Korea does Unfortunately, Pakistan India developed
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: their own Israel has had one for years and years,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: although they deny it, they won't comment on it. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: there's a wonderful story about Israel and one of the
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Israeli guys who worked at Demona, which is the plant
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: where they make it, stealing secrets and actually giving them
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the United States and we had them in jail for
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: twenty years. That's another story we want to do at
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: some point because that's a fun one. So the bottom
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: line is, are we really going to start testing when
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: the other countries are not testing except their delivery systems?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Who the hell knows? No idea. Okay, now we're going
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to have fun escape monkeys. There was that story about
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the escape monkeys. There was that truck in Mississis that
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: overturned and had it was a trunk. It was a
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: truck full of Recis monkeys on the way to be tested.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And where were they going.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Well, they were actually going to a movie set where
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: they were filming the next film of Night at the Museum.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: That's actually not true because those are Cappachin monkeys, not
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Reciss monkeys. But I had to go there because it's
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: a nice visual. In the meantime, there's all kinds of
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: controversy about the monkeys themselves. Originally the truck driver said
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that they were infected with herpes and hepatitis because of
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the testing is what they do. And then we find
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: out that's not true, and one monkey was had escaped,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and it turns out there are three monkeys and a
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: number of monkeys were quote destroyed. That's the term they
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: use after they got loose. You ever noticed when anybody
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: is executed that what they should do is we have
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: destroyed the inmate, because that basically works. Okay, So the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: controversy is they were coming from the National The school
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: said that it's National Biological Research Center. It provides primates
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: monkeys to other research organizations to quote advance science, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: the monkeys were in fact not in fact that Okay,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: that's the news story. And then I go thinking about
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the animal rights people who have a real problem with
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: animals being used for testing. They've successful, they've been successful,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and for example, rabbit testing for makeup products no longer
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: rabbit eyes are being used to hurt the animals. But
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: when it comes to diseases, that's a very different thing.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And so there was a woman just right next to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: this story who has just found guilty of well, removing
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: four chickens from a processing plant. Four chickens, and she
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: did it and said she was removing them from cruelty.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: She didn't deny taking them.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Matter of fact, her organization the direct Action everywhere DX filmed.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It, they didn't un it and released it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: She was there, and she was there to prove that
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: animals were destroyed cruelly. And so she breaks into this
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: processing plant where there are millions of chickens, grabs four
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: of them, puts them in buckets, which is what the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: story tells us. Ironically enough, the buckets they put them
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: in they got from the back of a KFC store
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: that were put into the dumpster. So she is now
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: convicted of stealing the four chickens. And her attorney and
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: by the way, her attorney said, oh, we're going to
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: appeal the conviction. Her attorney said that the prosecution look
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: at what the prosecutors look at what the county did
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to prosecute this case
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: because the animal rights people were throwing tons of money
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: into this legal action.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Into the defense.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Well, the prosecution is right, and that is we're not
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: doing this because you're an animal rights person or you
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: believe in, you know, stopping animal cruelty.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: We did this because it broke in. That's what it's about.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: You broke into a facility, and it doesn't matter what
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the motivation is, and it doesn't. I mean, can you
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: imagine if they don't prosecute based on the fact that
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the motivation is to save animals from cruelty. By the way,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: does anybody think when they're gnawing on a chicken leg
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: that somehow it's cruel to animals?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I try not to think. I don't. I mean, I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: don't do that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are people that na on people's legs
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: that don't think that it's cruelty.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: The people read Jeffrey Dahmer different story. The point is,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: that's what animals are.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: But we as human beings, are put on this earth,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and we are the primary species, and we eat both.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Animals and we eat plants. That's what we do.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: We were designed to do that by God, if you
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: are into God. We were also designed to listen to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: rock and roll and to get high on drugs and
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to engage in all kinds of crazy ass sexual escapades.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: That's what human beings do. So you can.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Argue all day long that chickens have to be saved
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: from poulsry plants. Now, I wonder which of the four
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: chickens were the lucky ones. You talk about winning the lottery.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: There's two million chickens. We'll grab these four. You ever
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: seen a chicken smile? Okay, all right, let me talk
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: about restaurants. And then Neil talks about restaurants all the time.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: And this is how restaurants have changed completely. It's a
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: new model and it started in the early two thousands.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: And what it is is delivery. It's not people coming
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: into the restaurant anymore. It's delivering food. And you mix
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that up with technology. I mean, even delivery has been
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: around involved forever. I remember as a kid in the
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: valley there was pizza Man that would deliver and that
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: was and by the way, that failed miserably only because
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the pizzas were horrible and it was basically pizza again.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I still have Pizza Man.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, you go back a long way. Well, the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: point is it's gone from pizza delivery, which has sort
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: of been the end all be all for pizzas, into
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: anything you want, I mean anything. Some of the most
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: high end food that is delivered to your door, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: you're never on the phone. You never talk to anybody,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: is you just you're clicking through on your device or
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: on your home computer and the order comes in and
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: then the mechanism starts on the other side. And what
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: has been happening, I think Neil will back this up.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: What has been happening is that the focus of restaurants
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: is moving away from people walking into restaurants and having
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the restaurant experience to having the food delivered at home.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Now there's some downsides to that too, which I'm going
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: to get into, but just get I'm going to start
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: giving you some stats, and I want to start.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Giving you some names.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, this guy, but then na Colin Wallace in two
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: thousand and six wanted a snack in the classroom and
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: he had delivered long classes and he did it by
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: talking on the phone, ordering for the restaurant and then
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: waiting for the delivery.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: It was the Georgia Tech and he goes, that's kind
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: of neat.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: So he started a company that then was eventually acquired
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: in twenty eleven by grub Hub. He was at a
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: leadership at this company that would go on to change
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: restaurants forever. And so, as I said today, you can
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: get anything, literally anything ice cream Sunday, martini, wagou steak
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: delivered to your door and whatever you order. It comes
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: from a business that used to operate as a restaurant,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: and now it's more like a pickup counter. And there's
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: no experience there, restaurant experience, although eating at home and
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: in front of your TV that's kind of an I mean,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: there's some downsides to that delivery. And now I don't
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: like delivery at home. I mean, I think Lindsay has
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: door dash and we have it delivered, you know, once
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: a blue moon. But the food is always cold. You
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: never get hot, piping food delivered to your table.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: That's a given.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: The best you're gonna do is lukewarm plus and the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: food steams. You order tacos, for example, from that taco
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: restaurant up the street from US, which has great tacos,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: these crispy tacos that are just wonderful. Well, once I
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: ordered from them and they wrap it up in aluminum
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: foil by the time it got to my house, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: by the way, only a few minutes later.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Because this thing is quarter mile from it from me.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: The tacos were all soggy, they had steamed in their containers.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: And even the way the restaurants are using many dishes,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: they're not using much cutlery. What they're using is lots
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: of plastic, lots of paper, lots of rappers. And it's
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: changed completely, totally, completely, basically. One of the restaurant restaurant
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: tours and a critic as well as an expert in
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: the world of restaurant says, what's happening is less of
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: experience and this has become a commodity.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: That is the shame of it.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: National Restaurant Association keeps track of restaurants nationally.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Wine a whild name. In twenty twenty.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Four, nearly three out of every four restaurant orders were
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: not eaten in restaurants. And when you look at millennials
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: and Generation Z man, here are the stats. More than
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: half of adults under forty five use delivery at least
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: once a week.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't do that. How come I has that to me?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: They use delivered at least once a week, thirteen percent
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: use it every day. One in eight boomers use the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: delivery once a week, which is last time a Boomer.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: We're order inners or inner orders, and DoorDash was just
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: acquired by a British delivery service, delivery, I mean delivery.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: How's that for a name? They paid three point eight
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: six billion dollars for door Dash. So, Neil, you have
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: seen this happen. You've been talking about food for what
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: twenty years and you have fifteen or more? Okay, you
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: have you know you have seen this happen before your
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: very eyes.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we all saw it unfold and then explode,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: you know, tenfold or more during the pandemic. It just
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: has been Now it's the norm. I mean, whether it's groceries,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: which is one thing, or whether it's restaurants, which is
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: a whole other thing, because they're still paying unless they
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: have a ghost kitchen, which we've talked about before, which
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: is just a kitchen, no storefront, no vibe, no atmosphere,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: nothing inside. You never walk in it. All this ghost
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: kitchen does is produce food to be delivered. That's one thing.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: But if you have an actual restaurant that you've paid
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: designers to come and design to make a vibe and
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: all of those things, you've got people paid to go
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: in there and serve you, or make cocktails or do
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: any of these things. There's a massive amount of cost
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: in there. And I know it looks glamorous and like
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: everybody's you know, a celebrity chef, but it's not. They're
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: very small margins, and those margins are consumed by the
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: typical charge fifteen to thirty percent of the total order
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: price by the company that is, the third party company
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: or app that is delivers.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: But let me throw something back at you.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: The cost of producing the meal and having it delivered
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: for a restaurant, is that more profitable than it is
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: for a sit down restaurant, considering labor, considering rent, considering overhead, because.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: If you're trying to do both, which they are because
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: that's the only way they can stay alive, and some
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: of it they're still paying for the lighting, the air
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: condition everything, if that restaurant's empty.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: No, And that's my point.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: So what I'm asking is, if a restaurant can successfully
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: move over to delivery only for the same food, will
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: they make more money.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: No, Because some of the best items, some of the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: higher end items stake and things like that, they don't
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: travel well. I was saying, And you're not going to
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: buy a fancy meal and have it delivered to your house.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Except that's happening now, why rare occasions? All do something?
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: If I'm you know, if it's just me and I'm
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: sitting home and Max and Tracy are at visiting family
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: or something, then I might treat myself to something like that.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: But at that point I'll make it myself. It's not
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: a great model the way it is. They've tried to
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: switch to first party where they invite you. Restaurants invite
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: you to order off of their website, and that saves
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: them some money, but still it's a rough model all
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: the way around. And I think deliveries continues to get
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: worse because now they're batch. They're batching deliveries if you notice,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: and so it takes longer for you to get yours
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: because they're making multiple stops for other people's foods. So
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: the quality goes down.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I think the.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Way it's designed or being utilized now, they're going to
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: have to they're gonna have to change that a little bit.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: But it's hard to have a restaurant and try and
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: live off of just delivery.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and look at people who deliver, they're ten ninety
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: nine employees. No one is a cardiovascular surgeon that delivers food.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: They are told to move quickly, not particularly safely.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Remember what was it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Domino's used to deliver in half an hour guaranteed until
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: one driver plowed into a car and made the other driver,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: the kid, a quadriplegic. Okay, they stopped doing the half
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: hour guaranteed and driving.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: And I didn't know this.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Driving for a delivery service is one of the most
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: dangerous jobs in America.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that either.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Really, I didn't either.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: That's according to the story out of the Atlantic. Okay,
• 23:40
