1:18
Speaker 1: Radio Archive Featured Hour here from the Hall of Fame
1:21
Speaker 1: Phil Hendry Show and philhendryshow.com. And today we have the
1:25
Speaker 1: great Ted Bell from Ted's of Beverly Hills. This show
1:28
Speaker 1: that we did was in the glorious year of 2004.
1:31
Speaker 1: It was right after Martha Stewart got turned in, basically,
1:34
Speaker 1: by one of her employees. And Ted Bell is talking
1:38
Speaker 1: about what he does to test the loyalty of his
1:41
Speaker 1: employees because he doesn't want to have happen to him
1:43
Speaker 1: what happened to Martha Stewart. And a lot of the
1:45
Speaker 1: stuff that he said, a lot of the ways he
1:48
Speaker 1: tests his employees are pretty offensive. He has, for instance,
1:51
Speaker 1: I believe he has an accountant or one of his
1:54
Speaker 1: business guys is from the Appalachians. So he starts making
1:57
Speaker 1: sister jokes and stuff like this just to see how
1:59
Speaker 1: well they take this stuff.
2:00
Speaker 2: Here is Ted Bell.
2:07
Speaker 3: Put it over there.
2:08
Speaker 2: Tess, Beverly Hills Steakhouse, come on down.
2:13
Speaker 3: Hey, friends, why don't you go down to Tessie Beverly
2:15
Speaker 3: Hills for Valentine's Day. Bring your little lady or that
2:18
Speaker 3: special someone to join a great steak dinner at Tessie
2:20
Speaker 3: Beverly Hills. You get a tent free. Everybody in before
2:23
Speaker 3: 10 o'clock.
2:23
Speaker 5: We're at Tess.
2:26
Speaker 3: We want to put our meat in your mouth.
2:29
Speaker 2: Ted Bell joins us. He sponsors this portion of the
2:31
Speaker 2: Phil Henry Show.
2:33
Speaker 1: The Martha Stewart case, I know, has been fascinating you
2:35
Speaker 1: and a lot of Americans.
2:37
Speaker 2: Martha Stewart, self-made woman.
2:41
Speaker 1: You said yourself, Ted, one of the most successful businesswomen
2:44
Speaker 1: in the history of this country.
2:46
Speaker 2: What is this case really about?
2:47
Speaker 3: Well, to my way of thinking, and I don't think
2:51
Speaker 3: there's too many people here to disagree with this, Martha
2:54
Speaker 3: Stewart is learning something that I think a lot of
2:56
Speaker 3: us in business have had to learn, sometimes the hard way,
2:59
Speaker 3: sometimes the easy way, and that is, Phil, that disloyalty
3:04
Speaker 3: among your employees, no matter how good you treat them,
3:07
Speaker 3: no matter how you try to ensure that they're going
3:11
Speaker 3: to be on your side, disloyalty is something that can
3:13
Speaker 3: seriously damage a business to the tune of a billion dollars.
3:17
Speaker 3: And I think Martha Stewart is learning this. And there
3:22
Speaker 3: have been studies done, most notably done by Dr. Jackson
3:26
Speaker 3: at the University, I believe it was Indiana State, on
3:29
Speaker 3: employee loyalty and how it has robbed American business of
3:34
Speaker 3: literally billions of dollars over the last several years. Martha
3:37
Speaker 3: Stewart's case is only the most, I suppose, well-known of it.
3:42
Speaker 1: So in Martha Stewart's case, when you say employee disloyalty,
3:47
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
3:48
Speaker 3: Well, I'm talking about the breaking of confidences, the breaking
3:50
Speaker 3: of trust, the talking behind the back, the going behind
3:55
Speaker 3: her back and reporting things, misinterpreting things, trying to get
4:00
Speaker 3: her in trouble with the SEC. Every businessman, no matter
4:03
Speaker 3: who he is, understands that he's certainly going to have
4:08
Speaker 3: his dealings With federal regulations, I have to adhere to
4:14
Speaker 3: federal food safety regulations. And you're always constantly trying to
4:20
Speaker 3: do your very best. You certainly don't need an employee who,
4:24
Speaker 3: because he's disgruntled, because he doesn't make enough money, because
4:28
Speaker 3: he doesn't like the color of your tie one morning,
4:31
Speaker 3: decides to go behind your back and, as I say,
4:34
Speaker 3: take a flint axe and put it, Right in the
4:37
Speaker 3: back of your neck. Now, there's an area just below
4:40
Speaker 3: the skull, the medulla oblongata. In my opinion, what this
4:44
Speaker 3: kid did to Martha Stewart is to take possibly a
4:48
Speaker 3: Bronze Age flint axe and bury it deep into the
4:52
Speaker 3: base of her skull. And I say that figuratively. But
4:56
Speaker 3: look at what this has done to her image and
5:00
Speaker 3: certainly what it could do to other business people. So
5:03
Speaker 3: we're studying it. We're trying to get a handle on it.
5:07
Speaker 3: There are things that I do in my business to
5:10
Speaker 3: ensure loyalty, but it's tough.
5:13
Speaker 2: Ted Bell joins us from Ted's in Beverly Hills.
5:15
Speaker 1: He is the CEO and owner of one of the
5:18
Speaker 1: most successful restaurants in America. When you say that you
5:22
Speaker 1: do things to ensure loyalty, you talk about something called
5:25
Speaker 1: the bottom line.
5:25
Speaker 2: Can you tell me what that is? Then we're going
5:26
Speaker 2: to give our phone number out and take some calls.
5:28
Speaker 3: Bottom line is something that I do with employees, and
5:32
Speaker 3: a lot of businesses are engaged in this. What I
5:34
Speaker 3: do with any employee... When I first get them as
5:39
Speaker 3: an employee, I try a three-step approach. I try to
5:42
Speaker 3: see how loyal they are or how loyal they're going
5:45
Speaker 3: to be. It includes, in some instances, what we call
5:48
Speaker 3: the bottom line. In my business, like in most businesses,
5:52
Speaker 3: I'll give an example. We have an accountant. He's one
5:55
Speaker 3: of the top guys that I've ever known in my life.
5:57
Speaker 3: I call him a personal friend, Fred McHale. Fred is
6:01
Speaker 3: a graduate of the University of Virginia, but Fred comes
6:05
Speaker 3: from the south. or a part of the South, the Appalachians,
6:09
Speaker 3: and apparently comes from one of these very poor families,
6:11
Speaker 3: and he really struggled his way out. And he's a
6:14
Speaker 3: great guy, and I know his wife and his kids,
6:16
Speaker 3: and my relationship with Fred was cemented. There was a
6:19
Speaker 3: period of time I wanted to know whether or not
6:22
Speaker 3: he was with me. So I would, in his presence,
6:26
Speaker 3: I would make hillbilly jokes about dumb Southerners. And I
6:31
Speaker 3: would really, you know, and I used a lot of
6:33
Speaker 3: the very crude jokes about, you know, this big old joke,
6:36
Speaker 3: you know, If you marry a woman in Alabama and
6:38
Speaker 3: you cross over to Georgia, is she still your sister?
6:41
Speaker 3: And all of these things. And I would say these,
6:44
Speaker 3: and I would watch him. And I looked for a
6:47
Speaker 3: twitch of the muscle, just a twitch of a finger, anything.
6:52
Speaker 3: But nothing. He took it like a man.
6:55
Speaker 2: So are you insulting these people?
6:58
Speaker 3: No, no. What I'm trying to do is to find
7:01
Speaker 3: out are they with me or are they not. We have,
7:03
Speaker 3: you know, Diane Trudy, who is my bartender.
7:05
Speaker 6: Yeah.
7:06
Speaker 3: Diane's African-American. And she was with us the first two weeks.
7:11
Speaker 3: You don't want to have to do this. You don't really,
7:14
Speaker 3: but you have to do something to ensure that what
7:17
Speaker 3: happened to Martha Stewart doesn't happen to you. And I
7:20
Speaker 3: made some off-color jokes, and I made some racial jokes about,
7:23
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know if you know the joke.
7:26
Speaker 2: You're making black racial jokes?
7:28
Speaker 3: When she first worked for us, yeah.
7:31
Speaker 2: And you say they're off color?
7:33
Speaker 3: No, no, the sex jokes were because she's a female.
7:37
Speaker 3: You know, they joke about, you know, if the doctor
7:39
Speaker 3: says I'm impotent, and when you is impotent, you walk impotent.
7:42
Speaker 3: You know how the black, you know, the traditional black
7:45
Speaker 3: way of talking? So this is the kind of thing.
7:48
Speaker 3: And when Martha Stewart's going through, what she's going through
7:51
Speaker 3: right now, Phil, I think should alarm all employers.
7:54
Speaker 1: All right, Ted, that's a good place to break. We're
7:57
Speaker 1: talking to a very experienced business owner and a very experienced.
8:02
Speaker 1: Entrepreneur Ted Bell about the Martha Stewart case. Does this
8:07
Speaker 1: portend bad things for all employers? Can you all expect
8:11
Speaker 1: to be betrayed by your employees? Can you expect to
8:15
Speaker 1: be litigated against and have one of your employees appear
8:20
Speaker 1: on the stand? What about employee loyalty? What has happened
8:24
Speaker 1: to it down through the years? What do you think
8:27
Speaker 1: it is, Ted? You test your employees with some pretty
8:32
Speaker 1: I would say pretty stringent or very strong methods, racial
8:37
Speaker 1: jokes and this kind of thing. But you mentioned to
8:39
Speaker 1: me before it went on the air that you're afraid.
8:41
Speaker 3: I'm absolutely afraid. I'm scared, Bill. I'm scared. I think
8:43
Speaker 3: I'm scared for all of us who's business owners. What's
8:45
Speaker 3: happening with Martha Stewart right now can happen to any
8:49
Speaker 3: business owner. And I want to make sure that a
8:53
Speaker 3: kid that I take in, who I have given a
8:56
Speaker 3: very good paying job to, who I have entrusted in
8:59
Speaker 3: the case of Fred McHale with my books, in the
9:01
Speaker 3: case of Diane Trudy with a part of my business.
9:06
Speaker 3: And I turn around one day, and they suddenly get
9:09
Speaker 3: jealous of the fact that I have a lot of money,
9:11
Speaker 3: and they don't. Because that's at the bottom line of
9:14
Speaker 3: all of this. You have to understand something. I'm Ted Bell,
9:18
Speaker 3: and people know who I am, and they want to
9:20
Speaker 3: be me, and this is something that I've had to
9:22
Speaker 3: kind of live with for a long time. You know,
9:25
Speaker 3: you can't be me. I'm Ted Bell. I'm me. And
9:29
Speaker 3: I said to a kid one day, he was one
9:30
Speaker 3: of my busboys. He said, Mr. Bell, I'd like to
9:32
Speaker 3: be you. I said, you can't be me. Where did
9:35
Speaker 3: you ever grow a pair big enough to think you
9:37
Speaker 3: could be me? You see what I'm saying? And so
9:40
Speaker 3: that kind of puts the kid in his place, and
9:42
Speaker 3: he gets a reality check. And what it's all, I said,
9:44
Speaker 3: you want to be me? I'm Ted Bell.
9:49
Speaker 2: Well, now you say the kid be you.
9:51
Speaker 3: I'm sorry?
9:52
Speaker 2: Well, then you say to a young man with ambition,
9:54
Speaker 2: you say, well, try to go out and be you, huh?
9:56
Speaker 3: Well, whatever you want to say to him is good.
9:58
Speaker 3: I don't know. But the arrogance of an employee to say, well, look,
10:03
Speaker 3: I'm rich. You're not. I built this business. You didn't.
10:08
Speaker 3: Martha Stewart built her business. This punk kid, Fanuel, didn't.
10:14
Speaker 3: He's an insignificant little broker's assistant. But seriously, Phil... Martha
10:20
Speaker 3: may lose her entire empire because of some kid who
10:24
Speaker 3: shanked her, and I can't let that happen to me.
10:29
Speaker 3: And that's why I do what I do, and it's harsh.
10:33
Speaker 1: All right, but in order to test employee loyalty, you
10:38
Speaker 1: are making racial and.
10:42
Speaker 2: Phil.
10:43
Speaker 3: Please qualify what you're saying. Well, how? Because I'm not
10:45
Speaker 3: doing this gratuitously. I'm doing it for a reason.
10:47
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I understand that. You're not a racist.
10:50
Speaker 2: I understand that.
10:51
Speaker 3: No, I am not. Please don't say that. Diane Trudy
10:53
Speaker 3: has worked for me. She's a top-notch black bartender. And
11:00
Speaker 3: there's nothing racial about me. And I've spent my life
11:04
Speaker 3: making sure that I adhere to all the equal opportunity standards. No,
11:09
Speaker 3: I have to do it to see if they can
11:11
Speaker 3: take it.
11:12
Speaker 2: All right.
11:13
Speaker 1: Well, in the case of this young man, Fred, what
11:15
Speaker 1: is his name?
11:16
Speaker 3: Fred McHale is my accountant. All right.
11:18
Speaker 2: Now, he's a southerner.
11:19
Speaker 3: He came up a very hard way. He was born
11:21
Speaker 3: and raised in Virginia. And so I make a lot
11:24
Speaker 3: of these, do you sleep with your sister jokes and
11:25
Speaker 3: all of this stuff. And a lot of guys can
11:28
Speaker 3: laugh at him. But when you keep it going, and
11:30
Speaker 3: I keep it up for about three weeks until you
11:33
Speaker 3: want to get sick of it, that's when you know. See,
11:37
Speaker 3: one joke is fine. Two jokes... About 10 or 15
11:40
Speaker 3: of them in a row, and you really, it starts
11:43
Speaker 3: to grate on you. And that's when I want to
11:44
Speaker 3: look them in the eye. And I want to see
11:46
Speaker 3: whether I got them or not. Hey, Fred. Yeah? You know,
11:51
Speaker 3: do you sleep with your sister? And if he tightens
11:55
Speaker 3: up those jaw muscles, if he looks like he wants
11:57
Speaker 3: to pick something up off the desk, if he's tightening
12:01
Speaker 3: his hand around a pencil as if it's a steel
12:06
Speaker 3: shank made out on the yard in Clinton, I know
12:08
Speaker 3: I've got it.
12:10
Speaker 2: I don't know that it is wise.
12:12
Speaker 1: I understand that a Martha Stewart, a Ted Bell, whoever,
12:15
Speaker 1: they need to know that their employees are loyal. In
12:17
Speaker 1: the case of Martha Stewart, she has this guy who
12:19
Speaker 1: used to work for her. He's now testifying against her.
12:21
Speaker 1: I understand needing to ensure loyalty. I don't know that
12:26
Speaker 1: you want to ensure loyalty to the point where you
12:28
Speaker 1: provoke or antagonize an employee, but I'm not a business owner.
12:33
Speaker 1: Ted's at Beverly Hills, a great restaurant. Ted's talking about
12:36
Speaker 1: the people he hires, he will, you know, tell racial jokes.
12:41
Speaker 1: If they're black, he'll tell ethnic jokes. If they're hillbilly
12:46
Speaker 1: or this kind of a thing, just to test their loyalty.
12:49
Speaker 1: Is employee disloyalty so bad that we have to go
12:53
Speaker 1: to these measures?
12:54
Speaker 2: The world-famous Phil Hendry Show will be right back. The
12:56
Speaker 2: Phil Hendry Show. Building sandcastles in your mind. The Phil
13:03
Speaker 2: Hendry Show is back.
13:08
Speaker 3: Ted's Beverly Hills Steakhouse. Come on down. Come on down
13:15
Speaker 3: to Ted's Beverly Hills. Valentine's Day is too far off.
13:18
Speaker 3: Get away. Take the same part. Bring on down to
13:21
Speaker 3: Ted's Beverly Hills. Great, great eating at a reasonable price.
13:25
Speaker 2: Here at Ted's, we want to put our meat in
13:28
Speaker 2: your mouth. All right, Ted Bill with us. Employee loyalty.
13:34
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart is learning that employees sometimes are disloyal to
13:38
Speaker 1: the point where they're going to get you in trouble.
13:40
Speaker 2: And you're talking about ensuring their loyalty.
13:44
Speaker 3: Hold on for a minute. Let's be clear here. Martha
13:47
Speaker 3: Stewart hasn't been proven guilty of anything. All we know
13:51
Speaker 3: is Martha Stewart got pushed over a chair.
13:55
Speaker 1: Her dress pushed above her.
14:00
Speaker 3: What Kobe Bryant did to that girl in that hotel
14:02
Speaker 3: room in Colorado. is very similar, very similar to what's
14:07
Speaker 3: happened to Martha Stewart. She's an employee. This is what
14:10
Speaker 3: we do to our successful businesswomen. You know, Phil, I'm
14:13
Speaker 3: a feminist, and I have been for a great many years.
14:16
Speaker 3: I believe in the rights of women. And I can't
14:21
Speaker 3: believe that more women aren't shocked at what's happening to
14:23
Speaker 3: Martha Stewart. I think it's because women have been beaten
14:26
Speaker 3: down so hard that they're afraid. They're scared to death.
14:31
Speaker 3: They're going to make their husbands angry. Well, my wife,
14:34
Speaker 3: I'm fortunate to say, isn't that kind of a woman
14:36
Speaker 3: at all. And, again, Martha Stewart, I think, is... Somebody
14:41
Speaker 3: owes that woman an apology.
14:43
Speaker 2: Well, there are questions as we go. Let me get
14:44
Speaker 2: to the phones, though, here. 1-800-449-8686. Dawn, go ahead. You're
14:48
Speaker 2: on the line with Ted Bell on the Phil Henry Show.
14:50
Speaker 7: Hello.
14:51
Speaker 2: Yes, hi.
14:53
Speaker 6: I just want to say that I have been in
14:55
Speaker 6: the restaurant industry as a waitress for 10 years.
14:57
Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
14:59
Speaker 6: And never... Has any of my employers done anything like that?
15:03
Speaker 6: That does not ensure loyalty, all that it does.
15:06
Speaker 3: May I ask you how many different employers you've worked for, Don? Seven. Well,
15:11
Speaker 3: I think you understand where I'm coming from. Seven? I
15:14
Speaker 3: have white people that have been with me for 20 years,
15:17
Speaker 3: the same people. They have made their career at our
15:21
Speaker 3: restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. How do I ensure that
15:24
Speaker 3: kind of loyalty? I'll tell you how. I test my people,
15:27
Speaker 3: but once I know they're with me, This is their home,
15:31
Speaker 3: and they are my family.
15:33
Speaker 2: By telling racial jokes?
15:35
Speaker 3: You know, Phil, again, if you want to float from
15:38
Speaker 3: job to job like Don, that's fine. You can do that.
15:41
Speaker 3: I'm talking about people who want a home, a professional environment,
15:45
Speaker 3: and I tell a spook joke now and then or
15:47
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it.
15:48
Speaker 2: What do you mean a spook joke?
15:50
Speaker 3: The one about the blacks. That's how Diane and a
15:53
Speaker 3: lot of my black employees, how I keep them. Do
15:58
Speaker 3: you understand what I'm saying?
16:00
Speaker 6: Well, the thing is, I don't hop around jobs because
16:03
Speaker 6: I'm not loyal to the company. It's because my family moved.
16:06
Speaker 3: Seven jobs in ten years. I think there's, is there
16:09
Speaker 3: an alcohol abuse problem?
16:13
Speaker 6: I seriously doubt it as I'm only 23.
16:15
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know why you can't hold a job.
16:18
Speaker 3: I don't understand.
16:19
Speaker 6: You know, you're degrading me and I don't even work
16:23
Speaker 6: for you.
16:23
Speaker 3: No, I'm not degrading you. I'm just wondering why you
16:24
Speaker 3: don't hold a job. You're not a thief, right?
16:29
Speaker 6: No, I'm not a thief. All I'm saying is that.
16:31
Speaker 3: Are you married to a man who has problems? A
16:33
Speaker 3: lot of women who are married to men who have
16:35
Speaker 3: got drinking problems, they've got to take a waitress job
16:37
Speaker 3: because you can't hold a job.
16:39
Speaker 6: No, my husband has worked at the same place for
16:42
Speaker 6: four years.
16:43
Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
16:44
Speaker 6: And my children are fine.
16:46
Speaker 3: Are they cared for during the day? I beg your pardon?
16:49
Speaker 3: Are your children cared for, or do you have to
16:50
Speaker 3: lock them in the home and.
16:53
Speaker 3: Do you tie them to anything?
16:54
Speaker 2: What do you mean tie them?
16:56
Speaker 6: Yes, I just take them to the wall.
16:58
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what... The lady's not making any...
17:00
Speaker 3: Are you unusually... Are you unusually heavy? Do you have a.
17:03
Speaker 6: What does that have to do with anything?
17:05
Speaker 3: I'm asking, do you have a weight issue?
17:07
Speaker 2: Why are you asking that?
17:08
Speaker 7: What does that have to do?
17:09
Speaker 6: Do you need to make.
17:10
Speaker 3: I've got to be honest with you. I wouldn't keep
17:11
Speaker 3: any girl on that's beginning to, you know, abuse the costume,
17:17
Speaker 3: abuse the cocktail dress. And I call it a serious
17:20
Speaker 3: abuse of the dress when you're... You're making a mockery
17:23
Speaker 3: out of a gorgeous thin cocktail dress by getting an
17:28
Speaker 3: ass on you. Okay.
17:30
Speaker 6: Speaking of asses, you're kind of sounding like one.
17:32
Speaker 3: Have you ever been caught taking large containers of butter
17:35
Speaker 3: or soup? All right.
17:36
Speaker 2: Hold on. I want to know, Ted, when you talk
17:41
Speaker 2: about loyalty, okay, when do you go too far?
17:46
Speaker 3: You have to test the loyalty. That young lady there
17:49
Speaker 3: is a waitress. Now, I know the type. It's what
17:52
Speaker 3: I call, they're the coffee and hash brown type, okay? Yeah, sure,
17:56
Speaker 3: I can open. Yeah, sure, I know the cash register. Yeah, sure,
17:59
Speaker 3: I know the bar. No, no, no, no, no, no.
18:02
Speaker 3: I'm looking for professional service people at Ted's Beverly Hills.
18:07
Speaker 3: And all you have to do, if you are a
18:09
Speaker 3: person of color, if you can handle, you know, some
18:13
Speaker 3: fun black jokes, I want to see how you take it.
18:17
Speaker 2: All right, what if a white guy, what about a
18:18
Speaker 2: white guy?
18:19
Speaker 3: Well, there's something about anybody.
18:21
Speaker 1: All right, 1-800-449-8682. Here is an African-American gentleman, James.
18:25
Speaker 2: Go ahead, James.
18:27
Speaker 3: Hi there. How are you doing?
18:28
Speaker 2: Fine, sir.
18:30
Speaker 5: Listen, I feel that this gentleman's ways are antiquated and to.
18:36
Speaker 3: Excuse me. Are you a waiter?
18:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, racially insensitive remarks and culturally insensitive remarks. It's totally
18:43
Speaker 5: uncalled for, particularly in this day and age.
18:46
Speaker 3: Are you an employer, sir? He's outdated. Are you an employer?
18:48
Speaker 4: Pardon me?
18:49
Speaker 3: Are you an employer, sir?
18:50
Speaker 7: Do you.
18:52
Speaker 8: No, right now I'm a truck driver.
18:54
Speaker 5: I'm retired pharmaceutical sales.
18:57
Speaker 3: All right. So, in other words, you don't really know
18:59
Speaker 3: my line of work. Well, no. Okay, so.
19:04
Speaker 5: But the line of work has nothing to do about it.
19:06
Speaker 3: Well, yes, it does.
19:07
Speaker 5: The point is I have been with other employers that
19:09
Speaker 5: have tested employer loyalty by not engaging employees. in confrontational remarks.
19:18
Speaker 3: Well, can I say something at this particular juncture, Phil?
19:22
Speaker 3: I'm Ted Bell. Have you been to Beverly Hills, James?
19:26
Speaker 3: You know my restaurant?
19:28
Speaker 8: I have been to Beverly Hills, but I have not
19:29
Speaker 8: been to your restaurant.
19:30
Speaker 3: All right. A lot of people want to be me.
19:33
Speaker 3: And I've often said it. It's the kind of people
19:36
Speaker 3: my employees know. I always say, people want to be me.
19:40
Speaker 3: And they get jealous of how much money I have.
19:44
Speaker 5: Well, it's not a matter of what type of, how
19:46
Speaker 5: much money you make.
19:47
Speaker 8: It's a matter of respecting the feelings.
19:51
Speaker 3: Like, would you call this bad if I said, what
19:52
Speaker 3: if you said to me, hey, Ted, I'd like to
19:54
Speaker 3: be you? I'd say, well, James, you can't. I'm white
19:56
Speaker 3: and you're black. See, that's a joke. Well, I understand that,
20:00
Speaker 3: but first of.
20:01
Speaker 5: All, I don't think a person wants to be like
20:03
Speaker 5: another individual at all.
20:05
Speaker 3: When you look at a guy driving a car.
20:09
Speaker 5: They're looking to make a living.
20:10
Speaker 2: All right, James, thank you for your call, sir. We've
20:12
Speaker 2: got to take a break. This is Martha Stewart, the
20:13
Speaker 2: victim of a disloyal employee.
20:14
Speaker 3: Bye.
20:16
Speaker 2: The Phil Henry Show is back.
20:21
Speaker 7: Hey, everybody, come down.
20:29
Speaker 3: To Ted's in Beverly Hills and bring your sweetheart on
20:31
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day. We've got the pork loin special. Now bring
20:35
Speaker 3: the coupon in from the L.A. Times, and you'll get
20:38
Speaker 3: half off on a Ted.
20:39
Speaker 2: We want to put our meat in your mouth.
20:45
Speaker 1: Ted Bell with us about employee loyalty, talking about Martha
20:48
Speaker 1: Stewart and what it takes to keep an employee loyal.
20:51
Speaker 1: And apparently she, you say she's the victim of employee disloyalty,
20:55
Speaker 1: and that's why she's in trouble.
20:56
Speaker 2: She didn't break a law or anything like that.
20:58
Speaker 3: No, I don't comment on the guilt or innocence. I
21:01
Speaker 3: don't know whether you or I are talking about the
21:03
Speaker 3: same thing here.
21:05
Speaker 1: Well, I guess I have a question as to whether
21:06
Speaker 1: this is really about an employee letting down or the employer.
21:12
Speaker 3: No, this is a case. Let me explain something to
21:16
Speaker 3: you and explain something to the people out there. My
21:19
Speaker 3: name is Ted Bell. I built a restaurant up. My
21:22
Speaker 3: father had drunk the profits up. He almost ran into
21:27
Speaker 3: the ground. I'm Ted Bell. I built that restaurant up
21:29
Speaker 3: to what it is today. No one tells me how
21:32
Speaker 3: to run my business. Now, I'll give you an example.
21:38
Speaker 3: We have a waiter named Oscar. Oscar's been with me
21:41
Speaker 3: for 25 years. He was with my father as well.
21:44
Speaker 3: He's from Germany. He is schooled in the old school
21:47
Speaker 3: art of being a waiter. And I looked at him
21:51
Speaker 3: one day and I said, Oscar, would you ever stab
21:54
Speaker 3: me in the back the way this guy did Martha Stewart?
21:56
Speaker 3: And he said, no, Mr. Bell. I've worked for you
21:59
Speaker 3: for 25 years. I've been with your father. No, sir.
22:02
Speaker 3: And I looked at him, and I said to him, Phil, well,
22:05
Speaker 3: I think you're a lying Nazi. And I leaned in
22:08
Speaker 3: and looked him in the face to see if it
22:09
Speaker 3: had any effect. And he looked ashen, and he walked away,
22:13
Speaker 3: and he continued waiting on tables for about a half
22:15
Speaker 3: an hour, and Jeannie, the hostess, came into my office.
22:17
Speaker 3: She said, Oscar, quit. Now, what does that tell you?
22:22
Speaker 2: This man was with you and your father for 25 years? Absolutely.
22:26
Speaker 2: You see.
22:28
Speaker 3: What happens, Phil, is you finally scratch deep enough and
22:30
Speaker 3: you find out they're backstabbing, backshanking, two-bit.
22:38
Speaker 1: Is it possible a man quit because he was so
22:40
Speaker 1: profoundly insulted by being called a lying Nazi?
22:46
Speaker 3: 25 years. You know the stuff that my father used
22:48
Speaker 3: to say to him? You wouldn't believe it. My father
22:50
Speaker 3: used to say, hey... Hey, Himmler, come on over here
22:53
Speaker 3: and give me another drink. I mean, you wouldn't believe
22:54
Speaker 3: what my dad said to him. So the crowd gets
22:58
Speaker 3: upset with that? Come on.
22:59
Speaker 2: Let me go over here to Bud. Bud, you're on
23:01
Speaker 2: the Phil Henry Show.
23:04
Speaker 6: Bud?
23:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, can you hear me?
23:06
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, go ahead.
23:07
Speaker 4: Yes, I would like to know how a man that
23:11
Speaker 4: claims to be as successful as this gentleman does could
23:14
Speaker 4: make such a mistake between loyalty and kissing his well-groomed,
23:20
Speaker 4: pompous eyes.
23:22
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I didn't understand your accents a little bit.
23:24
Speaker 3: Could you say that again? Yes, sir.
23:27
Speaker 4: I can't understand how you could mistake loyalty for these
23:30
Speaker 4: group of people that you.
23:31
Speaker 3: Have around you. Yes, sir.
23:33
Speaker 4: When it's so obvious that they're not loyal, you don't
23:35
Speaker 4: get loyalty right off the bat immediately. Loyalty is something
23:38
Speaker 4: that has to be developed and groomed. It comes with time.
23:42
Speaker 4: It doesn't come at face value. What you get at
23:44
Speaker 4: face value is ass kissing, and that's what you seem
23:46
Speaker 4: to want to surround yourself with.
23:49
Speaker 3: Well, I dare say ass-kissing. I mean, look, I don't
23:55
Speaker 3: kiss any ass. That's the only thing that's important to me.
23:58
Speaker 4: I'm referring to your employees that you're so proud of,
24:00
Speaker 4: that you claim to be, that you're so convinced are
24:03
Speaker 4: loyal to you.
24:04
Speaker 3: Well, I will tell you this, and I'm sure you'd
24:06
Speaker 3: agree with me. I don't know if you're a business owner,
24:08
Speaker 3: but you've got to agree with this. I'd rather drop
24:10
Speaker 3: my trousers and have somebody plant one on one or
24:13
Speaker 3: the other cheek than take a flint axe in my
24:16
Speaker 3: lower spine.
24:18
Speaker 4: No, I'd rather have someone that would stand up and
24:21
Speaker 4: be a true loyal employee or a co-worker or a friend,
24:26
Speaker 4: not a yes man. A yes man does, a group
24:28
Speaker 4: of yes people would provide no comfort at all.
24:30
Speaker 3: I don't see the difference. I don't see the difference.
24:32
Speaker 1: You don't see the difference between a guy that kisses ass,
24:35
Speaker 1: as Bud says, and someone who's loyal?
24:37
Speaker 3: It's the same thing. As long as they're not sticking
24:42
Speaker 3: a shank in my... Look, every day I walk into
24:44
Speaker 3: the restaurant, we've got Jeannie who's been with us for
24:46
Speaker 3: seven years. She's my hostess. And I walk in, and
24:49
Speaker 3: I always say the same thing that I've been saying
24:51
Speaker 3: for seven years every day. Hello, Jeannie, you cheap slut.
24:56
Speaker 3: And I go to my office, and she says, good morning, Mr. Bell.
25:00
Speaker 3: And you want to know something? It's become our way
25:03
Speaker 3: of saying, are you with me? Yes, sir, I am. No, no.
25:07
Speaker 6: Yes.
25:08
Speaker 4: I don't know where you came up with the idea
25:11
Speaker 4: of that, but you're going to find out.
25:13
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
25:13
Speaker 3: Are you a business owner, sir? Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
25:18
Speaker 3: What business are you in?
25:20
Speaker 8: I'm a trucker.
25:21
Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you what. You get out to L.A.,
25:23
Speaker 3: and you've got a stake on me at Ted's at
25:26
Speaker 3: Beverly Hills, because I like our truckers. I love our Teamsters.
25:29
Speaker 3: I love the great service that you do for us.
25:32
Speaker 2: Okay, now that's what I call ass-kissing.
25:35
Speaker 3: You know what, Phil? I'm making a friend and a
25:37
Speaker 3: customer out of this man, and what you do is
25:39
Speaker 3: you turn it into something ugly.
25:41
Speaker 2: Well, you're taking.
25:42
Speaker 4: No, you haven't made a friend, nor a customer out
25:44
Speaker 4: of me.
25:44
Speaker 3: I've never met you.
25:45
Speaker 4: I don't know anything about you.
25:46
Speaker 3: You want to keep eating that roast?
25:48
Speaker 4: I'm not very impressed with it.
25:50
Speaker 3: You want to eat that? Have they still got that
25:51
Speaker 3: steakhouse on the loop outside of Atlanta that went out there?
25:53
Speaker 3: I think it's out of the east end of the
25:55
Speaker 3: loop out there, or the west end of the loop.
25:56
Speaker 3: I always eat at that steakhouse. Fantastic.
26:00
Speaker 4: I don't care anything about getting a free steak on you.
26:04
Speaker 3: I can buy my own steaks.
26:05
Speaker 8: I don't need you to give me a free steak.
26:07
Speaker 3: I'm talking about a good steak. That's something you get
26:09
Speaker 3: in a roadhouse with those video games. But anyway, you know,
26:13
Speaker 3: there's one catch, though, Bud. I don't have paps on tap.
26:16
Speaker 3: But I'm just kidding around. Come on in. I'll get
26:18
Speaker 3: you a tip.
26:19
Speaker 2: Anyway, Bud, thank you for your call, sir.
26:21
Speaker 3: 1-800-449.
26:21
Speaker 2: You know, the man is very serious.
26:23
Speaker 3: I understand he's serious, but I'm Ted. I don't understand
26:27
Speaker 3: what he's trying to say. He's going to understand Ted Bell?
26:29
Speaker 3: You don't understand Ted Bell with one phone call. It
26:33
Speaker 3: takes years to understand Ted Bell. My employees know this.
26:37
Speaker 1: Every day you walk in and say to your hostess, Hello, Jeannie,
26:40
Speaker 1: you cheap slut.
26:42
Speaker 8: Yes!
26:43
Speaker 1: And that's a wink-wink and a nudge-nudge to say, Hey,
26:47
Speaker 1: we're with, we're together.
26:49
Speaker 3: You know, Phil, you can laugh at it, you can
26:51
Speaker 3: joke about it. But the fact is, it has worked
26:53
Speaker 3: for me for the last eight years.
26:57
Speaker 2: 1-800-449-8686. We're talking about loyalty, employee loyalty.
27:02
Speaker 1: And why did it desert Martha Stewart?
27:06
Speaker 2: Here is E.W. E.W., you're on the Phil Hendry Show.
27:08
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
27:10
Speaker 8: Yes, I just don't agree with anything you said. I'm
27:13
Speaker 8: an employer.
27:14
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
27:15
Speaker 8: I'm an African-American employer. I have almost 50,000 employees.
27:18
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
27:18
Speaker 8: And I was never insulted about it like that. Now,
27:20
Speaker 8: what I want you to do, Ted Bell, and thank
27:23
Speaker 8: you fully, you're fully yourself for sure. It's who you are.
27:26
Speaker 8: Nobody cares who you are. My point is this. You
27:29
Speaker 8: try the same type of tactic on the people that
27:33
Speaker 8: patronize your place, and you go out of business.
27:36
Speaker 3: Well, wait a minute. Why would I do that with
27:39
Speaker 3: the people that patronize my place? I don't need to.
27:41
Speaker 2: I have their money.
27:43
Speaker 3: But I don't have... See, they pay me money. What
27:46
Speaker 3: does my employee do for me? Other than.
27:48
Speaker 8: They make you money.
27:50
Speaker 3: Stand around staring at them. They make me money.
27:52
Speaker 8: They make you money.
27:53
Speaker 3: You can't make it for yourself. They serve up the steak.
27:57
Speaker 3: I'll give you that.
27:58
Speaker 8: They make you money. You need to be decent about it.
28:00
Speaker 3: Look, this is not about race. If you have white employees...
28:04
Speaker 3: I have white employees.
28:05
Speaker 8: I have African-American employees. I have Hispanic employees.
28:08
Speaker 3: I have Asian.
28:08
Speaker 8: I have all kinds of employees.
28:10
Speaker 3: If you have white employees, I can tell you some
28:11
Speaker 3: white jokes you can tell to the whiteys.
28:13
Speaker 8: We don't need to go to that level. Why do
28:15
Speaker 8: you want to go to the garbage bin of your...
28:17
Speaker 8: of your... of your mind to try to insult people?
28:22
Speaker 3: Sir, I'm talking one business person to another, and all
28:25
Speaker 3: you're doing is insulting me, sir. I told you I
28:27
Speaker 3: would give you top drawer white jokes, and you instead
28:31
Speaker 3: want to insult me.
28:32
Speaker 8: What do you mean? I heard you say a moment
28:34
Speaker 8: ago you made a black joke with this cocktail, the
28:38
Speaker 8: lady that runs your bar.
28:40
Speaker 3: Yes, that's Diane.
28:41
Speaker 8: And then you think she's going to take that? I
28:44
Speaker 8: wouldn't take it for a second. I went out. No
28:48
Speaker 8: way in the world. I've educated myself. I've earned doctorates.
28:51
Speaker 8: I do all these things. I would not work... Nobody
28:54
Speaker 8: should put up with that foolishness from you.
28:55
Speaker 3: Well, with all due respect.
28:57
Speaker 8: You're on the road for another month or so, because
28:59
Speaker 8: somehow you're going to remember how you mistreated them and
29:01
Speaker 8: insulted them before your rest of the employees, and one
29:04
Speaker 8: of these days, you're going to get it back on
29:06
Speaker 8: the wrong side.
29:07
Speaker 3: With all due respect, BJ, I can assure you, you
29:10
Speaker 3: won't lose your business if you just tell a couple
29:12
Speaker 3: of cracker jokes and just drop in the O.F.A. reference
29:15
Speaker 3: and move on. I mean.
29:17
Speaker 2: The man doesn't want to do that, Mr. Bell. The
29:20
Speaker 2: man obviously conducts his business differently from you.
29:23
Speaker 3: I'm Ted Bell. That's the difference between, what's your name, BJ?
29:28
Speaker 8: You're pulling yourself. You keep on saying, I'm Ted Bell.
29:32
Speaker 8: For what? I mean, treat people with dignity. They earn that.
29:36
Speaker 8: You said a guy was working with your dad for
29:40
Speaker 8: 25 years, and you call him a nut.
29:42
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. That was a horrible thing. A 25-year employee,
29:45
Speaker 2: and you insulted that man?
29:46
Speaker 3: It was a joke.
29:47
Speaker 8: That's ridiculous.
29:49
Speaker 3: No joke.
29:50
Speaker 8: How would you want somebody to make jokes about you?
29:52
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not.
29:53
Speaker 2: I'm Ted.
29:54
Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
29:55
Speaker 8: Ted Bell is my foot. You don't mouth anything. Nobody
29:58
Speaker 8: cares about you. You can't just go and suck people.
30:02
Speaker 3: Do you have any Chinese working for you? Indeed, I do.
30:07
Speaker 3: I got some Chinese jokes.
30:09
Speaker 8: I don't want to joke.
30:10
Speaker 3: That'll ride the wig right off of them.
30:13
Speaker 8: You know how I make people loyal to me? I
30:16
Speaker 8: test them by giving them responsibility. I make them loyal
30:20
Speaker 8: by paying them proper. I test them by treating them
30:23
Speaker 8: fair and giving them a fair wage. I test them
30:25
Speaker 8: by giving them health insurance.
30:27
Speaker 3: Do you have a Jewish accountant?
30:30
Speaker 8: No, I don't have a Jewish accountant.
30:32
Speaker 3: You should.
30:32
Speaker 8: Oh, yes, I do.
30:33
Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
30:33
Speaker 8: There you go.
30:34
Speaker 3: See, now you are smart.
30:36
Speaker 2: What do you mean, do you have a Jewish accountant?
30:38
Speaker 2: For God's... Is everything boiled down to a racial stereotype
30:40
Speaker 2: with you, Mr.
30:41
Speaker 3: Bell?
30:42
Speaker 4: Mr.
30:43
Speaker 3: Henry, please remember you're talking to Ted Bell. Do you
30:45
Speaker 3: want to rephrase what you just said?
30:48
Speaker 2: Does everything come down to a racial stereotype with you, Mr.
30:51
Speaker 3: Bell? No.
30:53
Speaker 8: Apparently it is.
30:54
Speaker 3: I'm Ted Bell.
30:55
Speaker 8: Who cares? I'm the world's second target talent fan. I'm
30:59
Speaker 8: Ted Bell. I'm Ted Bell. Just like you said, I'm
31:01
Speaker 8: the president. You're not the president. Nobody cares.
31:03
Speaker 3: Wait a second.
31:04
Speaker 8: You've never heard of me.
31:06
Speaker 3: You've never heard of me. Where do you live, sir?
31:08
Speaker 8: I live out in West Avena.
31:09
Speaker 3: All right. Then you know, obviously, Ted's at Beverly Hills Steakhouse.
31:13
Speaker 8: Sir, I wouldn't come to your steakhouse if it's the
31:16
Speaker 8: last steakhouse. I don't eat steak anyway.
31:19
Speaker 3: Oh, here we go. There's another rabbit. What are you,
31:21
Speaker 3: a vegetarian? Let me tell you something.
31:22
Speaker 8: I eat fish and chicken and all that stuff.
31:24
Speaker 3: Well, all right. That's good. But, you know, you've got
31:26
Speaker 3: to get that red meat. Otherwise, you're going to get
31:28
Speaker 3: a prostate about the size of a football. And you
31:31
Speaker 3: don't want to have that, okay? Now, let me... Look,
31:33
Speaker 3: I'm Ted Bell.
31:34
Speaker 2: Oh, shut up. He's Ted Bell. Listen, EW, thank you
31:40
Speaker 2: very much.
31:40
Speaker 3: Oh, it's EW. I thought it was BJ. EW.
31:43
Speaker 2: It's EW.
31:44
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought I was talking to somebody else.
31:49
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, sir.
31:50
Speaker 8: I hope you never do that. You've cut that out.
31:52
Speaker 3: Cut out what? Don't tell me. I'm Ted Bell, E.T. No,
31:57
Speaker 3: I don't. I forget your name now. You take care.
32:00
Speaker 3: Good luck with the Chinese. Yeah.
32:05
Speaker 2: Here's Patricia. Hi, Patricia. You're on the Phil Henry Show.
32:08
Speaker 5: Hi.
32:09
Speaker 4: Hi, man.
32:10
Speaker 7: What's the man's name that called that woman a slut
32:12
Speaker 7: every day?
32:14
Speaker 3: Are you talking to me, dear?
32:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's your name?
32:16
Speaker 3: My name's Ted Bell. Mr.
32:18
Speaker 7: Ted Bell.
32:18
Speaker 3: Yes, ma'am.
32:19
Speaker 7: How long have you been calling that woman a slut
32:22
Speaker 7: every morning?
32:23
Speaker 3: Well, it's an inside thing between me and you.
32:26
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no.
32:26
Speaker 3: I asked you how long. How long have you been
32:28
Speaker 3: calling her a slut? I don't know. It's going on
32:30
Speaker 3: now a good six years.
32:32
Speaker 7: And that woman has not slapped you across your silly
32:35
Speaker 7: face one morning?
32:37
Speaker 3: You know why she doesn't do that, Patricia? Because she'd
32:39
Speaker 3: be fired. And if she got fired, she's never going
32:41
Speaker 3: to get another job as good as what she did now.
32:43
Speaker 7: She should be lucky to be fired from you. To
32:45
Speaker 7: be fired from you, that's a gift.
32:47
Speaker 3: Wait a minute. You don't understand the business I'm in.
32:50
Speaker 7: I don't have to understand no business.
32:52
Speaker 3: I need employee loyalty. Mr. Best.
32:53
Speaker 8: What do you do for a living?
32:55
Speaker 7: I don't have to understand no business just to know
32:56
Speaker 7: what I'm talking about right now. You do not walk
32:59
Speaker 7: up to a woman, any woman, in the morning for six.
33:02
Speaker 3: Years every morning.
33:03
Speaker 8: What if I'm kidding?
33:04
Speaker 3: What if I'm joking?
33:04
Speaker 7: For five days, for business days, and call her a slut?
33:07
Speaker 3: What if I'm joking? What if I'm joking?
33:11
Speaker 7: What if she does not take it as a joke?
33:13
Speaker 3: But what if she does?
33:15
Speaker 6: Uh-huh.
33:15
Speaker 3: I got you on that one, didn't I?
33:17
Speaker 7: Why don't you tell me? How did you take it?
33:19
Speaker 3: She's still working for me, isn't she? And she hasn't
33:21
Speaker 3: slapped me. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Oh, I'm sorry.
33:25
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
33:25
Speaker 7: That's because you're paying her.
33:27
Speaker 2: You know something, Ted? You're really acting like a child.
33:29
Speaker 7: Like you were talking about. That little boy over at
33:31
Speaker 7: Martha Stewart's office, right? He got paid, too.
33:35
Speaker 3: That dirty little sycophant.
33:38
Speaker 7: Employee gets paid, right?
33:40
Speaker 3: Look. What if you and I had a joke that
33:43
Speaker 3: every morning I would call you a sloppy cow? Huh?
33:46
Speaker 7: We wouldn't have no joke.
33:47
Speaker 3: Well, let's suppose I was only.
33:49
Speaker 7: It's not funny, Mr.
33:49
Speaker 3: Bell. What if I called you a sloppy cow and
33:51
Speaker 3: I was kidding, and I was only joking?
33:53
Speaker 7: You don't need to call me no sloppy cow, Mr.
33:55
Speaker 3: Bell. Well, ma'am, you're right. You're right. I wouldn't know
33:58
Speaker 3: you because generally the people that load up the dock,
34:01
Speaker 3: I never meet them. But I can tell you.
34:03
Speaker 2: Okay, look at Ted. You know, the guy is, he's
34:06
Speaker 2: a real person.
34:06
Speaker 5: It's all right.
34:07
Speaker 7: You know what? It's all right. Because all I have
34:09
Speaker 7: to say is.
34:10
Speaker 3: You know, I'm getting busy in here, Patricia.
34:12
Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. Say it again, Patricia.
34:15
Speaker 7: All that I have to say about Martha Stewart is
34:19
Speaker 7: that any employee who.
34:20
Speaker 3: Gets infected like that boy does.
34:21
Speaker 4: Get all the Mexicans out of the back.
34:23
Speaker 3: And get them on.
34:24
Speaker 8: The table six.
34:25
Speaker 3: Huh?
34:27
Speaker 2: Would you mind saying that again, Patricia? Because the restaurant
34:29
Speaker 2: was loud.
34:30
Speaker 6: I said.
34:31
Speaker 7: What's going on over.
34:32
Speaker 8: Where you are?
34:34
Speaker 2: Mr. Bell is in his restaurant.
34:36
Speaker 3: We are in the middle of our dinner service, Patricia.
34:39
Speaker 3: Excuse me for being successful. Jesus.
34:42
Speaker 7: Oh, my goodness. How are you going to sit on
34:46
Speaker 7: a show and you're playing tennis?
34:50
Speaker 3: Hey, Patricia, I think I can hear the ding-ding. Somebody
34:52
Speaker 3: must have shirts for you to starch.
34:55
Speaker 7: You're not even funny right now, so I know you're
34:57
Speaker 7: not funny in place of business. Okay, that's all I'm saying.
35:05
Speaker 1: I'm saying the boy, Martha Stewart, she.
35:09
Speaker 7: Treated him like that. He deserved to be fired. I mean,
35:12
Speaker 7: he deserved to have her back. What is this man doing?
35:18
Speaker 2: He's in his restaurant working right now.
35:20
Speaker 3: Oh, that's... I mean, I asked the lady to quit
35:22
Speaker 3: her yapping on the phone and... Patricia.
35:26
Speaker 7: I should come down there and tell all you people.
35:28
Speaker 3: No, what I'd like you to do is start busting
35:30
Speaker 3: people's fives.
35:31
Speaker 7: People are protesting dinner tomorrow. I ought to come protest
35:33
Speaker 7: your restaurant. I can't believe you have customers in there
35:38
Speaker 7: eating your food.
35:39
Speaker 3: Yeah. Johnny Walker black for him. What do you want, red?
35:42
Speaker 3: Johnny Walker red for him.
35:44
Speaker 7: Well, that's his problem.
35:45
Speaker 5: He's a drunk.
35:46
Speaker 3: Hey, Patricia, get on down here.
35:48
Speaker 7: Listen to all that liquor he's ordering.
35:50
Speaker 3: I got a whole lot of dishes for you to wash.
35:52
Speaker 2: All right, see you later, Ted. You're not hanging up
35:55
Speaker 2: on me.
35:55
Speaker 3: You're hanging up on her. You're hanging up on that sloppy....
36:00
Speaker 2: I hung up on him.
36:01
Speaker 3: Good.
36:02
Speaker 7: He deserved to be hung up on. He doesn't make
36:05
Speaker 7: any sense to me. How is he going to call
36:07
Speaker 7: that woman a slut every day? And this man still has,
36:12
Speaker 7: you know, is able to have children? I would have
36:15
Speaker 7: socked him so hard.
36:17
Speaker 2: Oh, I see. You're saying if a man had called
36:19
Speaker 2: you that, he would be unable to have children.
36:20
Speaker 7: I'm saying if you get disrespected over and over, you
36:23
Speaker 7: need to let that person know it is not okay
36:25
Speaker 7: to disrespect you like that. You have to let them know.
36:29
Speaker 7: And this man sounds like he needs to be hurt
36:31
Speaker 7: to understand something.
36:35
Speaker 3: Can I just ask, is this Mrs. John Kerry? Because
36:37
Speaker 3: I need to get out of here.
36:38
Speaker 2: Get him out of here. Get him out of here.
36:41
Speaker 2: He's an idiot. All right, Patricia, thank you very much.
