• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We have to be a little bit quiet. It's one
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: more thing.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I'm strong, and.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: So we are here in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention,
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: but there's an interview in being being performed like two
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: and a half feet from my right shoulder, and so
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: I'm being kind of quiet.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: It is yet another in the parade of notables who
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: we have just verbally murdered on the air. Yesterday, Randy
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Weingarten was within five feet of us.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Another person we hate right next to us.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Lori Lightfoot, former mayor of Chicago, her honor, the mayor
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: almost ruined the city completely. Brandon Johnson has bravely taking
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: the baton from her and being the people of Chicago
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: over the head with it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Oh and during COVID it was ridiculous.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, just unforgivable, absolute lap dog of the teachers'
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: unions that are ruining Chicago schools and the poor little
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: kids along with it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Just without even comple depletely straightening out my arm.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I could tap her on the shoulder and say I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: hate you.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I would be indelicate, but that would be a moment.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, she walked further away, so no one, I'm in
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the clear, Yes, yes, how do you how do you
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: judge whether or not a hotel is nice or not?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I have very low bar for a hotel being good
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: enough for me. If I'm by myself, perfectly fine with
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: like a Super eight, as long as it's not dangerous.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: The neighborhood matters more to me than the hotel itself.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: As long as it's not dangerous, I don't care. I
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: just need someplace to sleep. I'm getting back on the
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: road in the moon. If I'm with my kids, different situation.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: If it is a you know, a romantic opportunity, assuming
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I'll ever have that, I would be obviously a.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Different level, right, Katie.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: This is yet another layer of the conundrum, within a riddle,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: within an onion, within a something or other that Jack
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Armstrong is. He stands next to me, worrying. It's just
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: a beautiful sport code, I mean, very nice, starched expensive.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Way did you have that shirt made? Tell the truth?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: This one might be very cool.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Jeans and shoes that cost more than my car, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: he stays in fleabag motels.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I do, and it's proud of it. I don't know
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: if I'm proud of it, but I do it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Well, you have you have stayed it through the years
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: with unmistakable pride in your voice. Then you will stay
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: at junkie hotel. Yeah, the chiefest hotel I ever stayed at.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I stayed at a hotel in Montana that was eight
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: dollars a night. Oh that place was gross. Sorry, just
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: to clarify, was this in nineteen twenty Did you get
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: a bath down the hall? Oh? It was?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It was actually gross.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Stay.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I had to share the room with another cowboy. Wow,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: it was above a bar. You know, the memories are hazy.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: This is back when I still drank. Memories are hazy.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure they normally rented out rooms. It might
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: have been more of a you seem like you need
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: someplace to stay. There's a mattress in the room. I think, Yeah, anyway,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: this is the bathrooms hotel. The mattress was gross. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: like slept on top of the comforter or something I remember.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: But anyway, back to how you judge a hotel? How
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: do you how do you judge a hotel? Whether it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: nice room? Oh boy, A couple of different things are
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: we talking about specifically in the room or when I
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: walked in the front door, Like the hotel we're staying
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: in right now, which I think is pretty nice. Some
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: other people that are staying at the hotel, one person
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: said to me, this is a yanky hotel.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Really, I think it's really nice.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, wow, it's It's not a janky hotel at all.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: They travel a lot for business, so maybe they have
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know, but I don't think
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: it's yanky doll.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, although it's funny.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Shortly after I had that conversation, I'm in the I'm
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: in the bathroom brushing my teeth or washing my hands,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: because that's the only thing the person should ever do
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: in the bathroom. But for some reason, I reach for
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: the toilet paper roll and the toilet paper dispenser falls apart,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and the toilet roll rolls across the floor, and then
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I have to get on my hands and knees and
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: crawl over and get it right.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And it was a it was in a state of vulnerability.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, was at a point where I must have needed
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: to blow my nose or something, because I really needed
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the toilet paper roll the.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Only reason you're in there, and it rolled clear over
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to the other side.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: So I had to Yes, I had to go get it,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and I thought, this is not cool, like an animal,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: This isn't cool. This had This hasn't happened at any
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: of my Super eights or Motel sixes or any other
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: numbered hotels. You gotta call the front desk, gentlemen of
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: your status, that it deserves better than that, better than to.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Be crawling around like Gollum after the precious trying.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: To get some toilet paper. I'm aggrieved, I'm angered on
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: your behalf. You know, I'm alone in my room and
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: nobody's going to see it, so it doesn't really matter.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: But I have the toilet paper roll now sitting on
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the counter, kind of like college guy, crappy apartment style, right,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: because your toilet paper thing's broken it it's years ago.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, broke years ago, and you've never fixed it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the most man conversation I've heard in a while. Yeah,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I left a role in the ca exactly. You sit
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it on the back of the toilet because your thing
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't work.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: You know what's changed is hotels are now back to
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the housekeeping staff comes to your room and like does
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: its thing every day now unless you hang out in
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: the privacy. Thing kind of got used to the COVID
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: deal where they would come like on Tuesdays and Fridays
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: unless you ask them. I've actually found at the more
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: expensive hotels when I stay at like really nice places,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: they don't because they're so into the environmental stuff.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you have to ask to have them come
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: do your stuff. They it's an opt in.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: They assume because you care about climate change as much
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: as them, that you don't want your bed made or
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: anything like that. I don't need my bed made right,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: But for me, that's like the joy of staying in
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: a nice hotel is that when I come back into
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the room, it's perfectly made. I just want my coffee replenished,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and they have replenished. You don't care about the bed
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: being made. I really like to come into a room.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I know what you love that? Well, I make my
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: own bed every day.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I do it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I've blatched onto that philosophy and I I don't. It's
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: weird and I don't quite get it. It made a
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: different good thing. It makes a difference. You walk into
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: your room and your bed is made as supposed you
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: get home and it's unmade. Just seems like your life's
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: a mess. Yeah, yeah, it kind of does uh anyway,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: what was I gonna say? Oh, one thing about the
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: environmental thing and the maids coming every day housekeeping staff.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to say maids. Why is that the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: meaning in some way that I called.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: My cleaning person a maid in front of somebody and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: got yeah, it's you're not supposed to say.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, So my instincts were, right, clean person, yeah, house cleaner,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: house house house, house cleaner. Yes, Arnold Michael, Michael, you
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: get the staff, tiny drop of the day.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: That was beautiful, congratulations.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Arnold impregnated his housekeeper.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, the story he called her a maid. He
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: wouldn't have gotten that sweet, sweet loving.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: That's right, and make it spicy. Right? Where was I something?
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: There was a house keeping the house every day, clean
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: your something something?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Here we are in Chicago, Illinois, and West Coasters and
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Hawaiians and and sun Belters and all. There is a
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: lake so effing big it might as well be the
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: ocean right over there, and it's never empty ever in
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: the last five million years.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: So the idea of you've got to conserve water.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: You're looking over there, you're thinking there's an f and
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: lake as big as an ocean right there.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: There appears to be quite a bit and there is
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: so nobody cares.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: So I tried to repair my toilet dispenser because I
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: don't like the toilet roll sitting on the counter in
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the hotel room, right and it keeps breaking. It's done
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: it five times now, and I keep trying. I think
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I got it fixed, and then I go to reach
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: for toilet paper and it breaks.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And it rolls across. I just keep doing it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you might get to call engineering.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: You think I should have somebody to come to the room.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they've well yeah, they probably get like a
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: storeroom with five thousand of them.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I'll just screw it into the wall and keep moving.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: And if you leave it that way, they're gonna think
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: you broke it. And nah, there's another charge.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. Oh what in this hotel? Weirdly,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I'd never had a hotel do this before. You know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: you always have to put your card in for incidentals. Yeah,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: usually it's fifty seventy five or one hundred dollars. Yeah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: this was seven hundred dollars. They ring up on your
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: card for incidentals are.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Like people stealing the entire bed door.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: What are you having a party with sixty guests in
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: there in ordering room service and charging it all of
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the room.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Is it a hundred dollars eating back to the days
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: of the Who and lead Zappelin or something. I don't wow,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: wrecking the room, it's a little.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So they'd be happy to charge me one hundred bucks
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: for my broken toilet paper dispense.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell you how I discern whether it's a
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: good hotel or not.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: No hars in the room. One hair, one hair, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you've dropped from d at the highest. Oh yeah, yeah, no,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it's I'm out of there as soon as they get right.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: That is the number one thing. Very clean hotel we're in,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: very clean.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: You go to a Super eight or a Motel six,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: you gotta shave the bathroom before you go in it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Oh lord, oh the well all right, I don't even
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: want to talk about it much less see it. Sometimes
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: in case they have lawyers, they probably do, and sometimes
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: not all the time.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: One particular which has now been torn down.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I was thinking of a different hotel.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, whoops, you meant Motel seven. I did motels seven
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: through nine. The quality of mattress, also, I think is important.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: If you get on the bed and is a bad
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: bed already, I'm in bad You know I'm in a
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: bad mood.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: That's when I throwed a chain through the window. Get
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: my money's worth. They're putting blue tape on the floor.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I wonder, why what do.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You suppose that's for.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know, anybody got a guess why they would
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: string blue tape all across.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: The It's in front of the MJ statue, the Michael
• 10:16
