  Speaker 2: Everything is expensive.

  Speaker 3: But, Does it even show the liquor on there? I
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: wonder if they had drinks because I've got a story
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: this morning about wine when you go to a restaurant.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Okay. Oh, wait.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: One Modelo draft, $ 15, and one red wine, $ 26. 95.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: One glass of wine.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: That's what it says.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: See, this is, okay, that ties into this. It's from
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Money Digest. They're doing a study about how much the
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: restaurants are marking up wine when we order dinner. 300%.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: For the bottle of wine at the restaurant.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: The glass.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, for the glass.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: They are marking it up 300%. The bottles, yes, they're
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: marked up the same, but they said as crazy expensive
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: as the bottles are, it's even more costly to get
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: it by the glass.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: That is unreal.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: And they said there's like kind of no way around
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: it because if you bring your own bottle, they give
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you a corkage fee.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I've done that too. I went out.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: It can't be as much though.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: It was $ 75 for a cork fee.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: No. Yes.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: $ 75? Back in spring when I had dinner with Sharon,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: our old friend Sharon and Tom.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: It was $ 75 for the corking fee at the restaurant.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Can't you just, like, lean over and say, I can
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: do it, thank you?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Pretty much.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Bring your own, like.

  Speaker 2: Bring your own opener.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and your own glasses.
