  Speaker 1: When you travel to a new city, some people plan
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: activities by looking up reviews on apps like trip Advisor
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: or Yelp. But now there's something better and more truthful,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: because you can't really trust reviews nowadays, So instead we're
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: offering the overly honest hotel concierge at your service, And
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: today we're trying to help a guy who's already emailed
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the hotel asking for recommendations during his stay, and he's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: about to get the cold, hard truth whether he wants
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it or not. In your phone tap right now. Hello,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: good morning, sir. This is Jack calling from the hotel,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: just to double check. This is Chris.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, this is Chris.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: It says that you'll be in town for forty eight
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: hours on a business trip.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna have a lot of free time, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I wanted to see the city, so that's why he
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: emails you.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Got you absolutely Well, that's what we're here to do,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: so let's make this trip fantastic for you.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Sound was great.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Perfect.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So in your email you asked if the city was
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: safe at night.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, I did. I like walking exploring right.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, first of all, I can tell you the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: city is absolutely safe.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: But I would suggest that if you want to venture
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: out of the hotel past five pm, you can borrow
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a weapon.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: From the front desk. Wait. In fact, I would probably
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: recommend that to you.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: We have knives, mace, we even have one flare gun,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and if you take at least one of those items,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you should be good.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I never heard of a hotel offering weapons to borrow.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I know that's what sets us apart in the hospitality field.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Wait what anyway?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I see you also emailed us about restaurants, and I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: wanted to tell you about a really nice Italian place nearby.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Oh great, I love Italian.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Food, excellent, So I will say the portions are small,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: service is slow, but at least it exists.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but is that really your recommendation?
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Also, the pasta tends to be overcooked and the sauce
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: taste like they forgot to add anything.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: If I'm just being completely honest.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you being very honest. Yes, suh, I'm I'm
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: love for words. I don't quite know what to say right.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Well, sir, Sometimes the best advice isn't telling you what
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you want to hear, but what you need to hear.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: And that's what I'm here for.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And as for the public transport, I will let you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: know the subway here is reliable. You'll share a car
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: with people who cough like they're auditioning for a horror movie.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Though that sounds terrible. That does not sound good at all.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, are you sure? Because some visitors find that kind
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of exciting. You're with people who look like they're from
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the Walking Dead, but they're actually real.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: They're being completely honest. Like all these things you're telling
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: me right now, it makes me think I don't even
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: want to stay at your hotel.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Oh but I haven't even gotten to our sight seeing
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: recommendations for you, because there's an observation deck in a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: building right across from us, and you'll look out over
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the city and realize everyone is just pretending to be happy.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Including you.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not pretending I am happy.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Well you won't be after staying with us in our
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: fine city or not so fine city. I'm just being honest, sir.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're making me bummed out. I'm kind of depressed
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Well, sir, I know the truth may not sound glamorous,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: but it does make for a more memorable stay when
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you're with us.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: My goal is not to carry weapons in a city
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that I'm not familiar with.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Well, you won't need a weapon if you do one
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of our local tours. Hopefully there's a historic walking tour
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I can recommend for you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: You'll see a lot of old.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Buildings and you'll feel your own life crumbling in real time.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: What you just like the buildings, the way you're painting.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: This is like one of the most depressing cities I've
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: ever stay at. Sir.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I noticed it's just you on your reservation, but you
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: do have two queen beds. How about I just stay
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: with you for a few nights.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: No, you're not staying in my room.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean it sounds like you're gonna be around
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: town doing things. It's not like we'll be together most
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of the time. I could just order room service watch TV.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: This has got to be one of the most absurd
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: conversations I've had in my lifetime.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Sir, you are absolutely right on that thought. And it
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: all started when your girlfriend Carleen contacted us to do
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: this prank on you. How do you know Carleen because
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: she emailed our radio show. Because my real name is
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Jeff from brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, Carleen set
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you up for a phone tab. Dude, Yeah, obviously don't
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: work at the hotel.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: But obviously you don't.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Carleen said she was giving you a bad time
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: about emailing them a huge list of questions for the concierge.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: She thought it was so dumb that she wanted us
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to mess with you.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you're killing me.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Well I may not be, but the people that live
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: in this city might you know the walking dead?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: So definitely take a weapon with you.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad you told me it was a joke.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I almost canceled my.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: But no joke. I really could use staying in that
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: queen bed with you if that's cool.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: You are so stupid.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm honest.
• 5:36
