  Speaker 2: about ten miles inland from Palm Beach and it's the
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: winter equestrian capital of the world. And it's just a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: fascinating place. Horses walk by, golf carts drive by. It's
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: a really really unique place.
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Are you an equestrian, John, I am not an equestrian.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I horse around, but that's how who but honestly funing, No,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: not really. My wife enjoys it. But it's very cool.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Said like, the world's greatest jumpers come there every year
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: from all these countries in the world, and they compete
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: for two million, three million, four million dollars.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I always used to think that the most expensive horses
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: in the world are race horses. Some of these jumping
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: horses are worth forty fifty millions. Wow, And it's unbelievable
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to see how their carred for and stuff. Anyway, So well,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: it's really really fun to be there.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg's daughter is big into a crust ran although
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I think she had an accident about a week agoing
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: over her arm or heard her arm or something. Sorry,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: but okay, so you're in Florida. Now you're back in Boston,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and welcome back. I got to tell you, watching the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: show makes me dizzy because I can't even imagine how
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: much production goes into bar rescue.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was. I was mentioning briefly to
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you earlier that you know, we traveled the crew of
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: about fifty seven. Oh and so it's five trucks. When
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: we go to a city. We have to do three
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: bars in each city to make the economic mix worth
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: because it's so expensive to bring everybody in.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Once we do.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: That first night, I show up at about six o'clock
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: at night. I get it literally about a sixty second briefing.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: This is John and George are in debt, this amount.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: They're ready to kill each other. Blah blah blah. They're
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: losing such amount of money. I go in and do RECON.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to happen till I go
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: in there building. I've never met these people. I've never
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: been in this place before. Some of them's all real. Yeah,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: so it's all real. I'm not ahead of you, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I think that's why I bought the rescue success sol.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I'm finding it out when you're finding it out. So
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: when recon ends, what people don't know is I take
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: all the employees, I put them all in vans in
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the parking lot, and I designed the bar that night.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: So I'm giving the demographic report a competitive report. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: look at my verticals, my horizontals. I don't know how
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: many sports bars are in the area, how many of
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: this are in the area, how many of that in
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the era. So I come up with the concept that night.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: The next morning, when we show up, what you see
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: on television is training and stress test. On day two.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: What you don't see is we're approving the barstools, the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: wallpapers were putting together to day.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: You've got to work with in your designers.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I'm in the middle of everything. Nothing happens that I'm
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: unaware of.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Do you have your own interior designers that trouble with you.
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: I do.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I have a designer we call an art director, and
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I have a production team of about twelve just in
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the art department for remodel. So then what will happen
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: is at the end of day two, all the logos
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of the signed companies, the recipes and the food orders
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and the beverage orders, the furniture's ordered. Here's a little secret.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: If you look at Bar Rescue, the bar stools almost
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: never match because when you need sixty bar stools overnight,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you can only get twelve of this, six of these.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Nine of those, you can't get sixty at the same game.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Some inside stuff.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Now, look at the episodes, you'll see I try to
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: put the yellow ones on one side and the green
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: on the other, or I mix them up. I try
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: to make it make sense. But when you're remodeling it
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and that quickly, you deal with what you get. So
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: at the end of stress test, everybody goes home, they're
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: not allowed to come back to the bar and we
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: start construction. So we build it the night of day
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: two all day day three. That's why we train off Billy,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: because we're building it on site. So we train them
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: at another location, and then the fourth day, that afternoon
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: we reveal it to them. So we do build it
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: in thirty six hours, and what you see in Bar
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Rescue is pretty much day one, day two, day three,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: day four, as it happens.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But here's the deal. You also have to play the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: part of a family therapist a lot, because I've watched
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of episodes and it seems like the family
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: owned restaurants.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Or bars or whatever.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: It seems like most of the families have one failed
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: member that's just screwing up the whole thing, and you've
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: got to sit down with that person, sit down with
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the family, make it all work. And a lot of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: times you'll give the failed member more responsibility. Yes, but
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you have to make sure that everybody's on board with that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: You know, when somebody isn't caring and not working, it
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: can be a lot of reasons. And I believe I
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: need to find the primal reason. What is the primal
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: instinct that's causing them to shut down? Yeah, it could
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: be lack of pride. It could be that somebody is
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: stifling them. Yeah, could be they don't have confident. What
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the heck is it? That's causing them to do that. Yeah,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I got to figure that out, and I got no
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: time to do it. So that's the trick once I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: find out what it is that's causing them to do it.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Lack of motivation because he felt unimportant made him feel important.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Have you ever had to fire a family member?
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: Oh?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Absolutely? And you know what I tell families. You know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: in the business, you're not a family, You're a team.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: You see, families protect each other in weakness. Little Johnny's trying,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: They have little Johnny a break. Little Johnny doesn't feel
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: good today. Right, that's a family. You protect each other
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: in weakness. That's exactly what you don't want in a business.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: So I say, be a.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Family outside inside, be a team. If you strike out,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you get benched, right, Billy, Yeah, sure, big.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Difference than a family. Yeah, Okay.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: If you were to think of all the places you've
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: done and revamped and everything in families and bar owners
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that you've met and spent time with, is there one
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that stands out that whenever you're hanging out with somebody
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: at a bar having some of your brown butter bourbon,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that you say, you won't believe the worst thing that
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: ever happened to me. The worst place I had to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: do is there one.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's one that always strikes me as the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: most powerful. You know, Spirits on Bourbon is a very
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: successful rescue. They made millions and millions of dollars. It's
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: a great story, but it's not a family. It's two partners.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: There was a family in South Carolina. They owned a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: bar called Characters. You might remember this one. And in Characters,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: they had their whole staff in like the most ridiculous
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Halloween style costumes in the world. One of it was
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Marilyn Monroe in other words, Burt Reynolds and and it
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: was just so tacky and awful. And there was a
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: daughter who cried all day every day because her brother
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: just beat the hell out of her because she couldn't
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: do anything right and the parents were stuck in this
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: awful situation. It was Charlie a Helen guy remember Andrea, Yes,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: and Alexander was their last name. And I put in
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: moon Runners based on the original days of Moonshine. Oh yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: motion they would do it during the darkness of the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: moon is when they would bring the moonshine down the
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: mountain and stuff. We put it together and we and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: we fixed the family along the process. Wow, and the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: daughter's life dramatically changed. The brother respected the daughter, the
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: parents were just enthralled by the entire thing. Now I
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: can tell them. I communicate with them often. They just
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: opened two new locations at the same time. Good for them,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and they're doing terrific. And when you fix a family, Billy,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: it feels so good. I mean, the bricks and mortar
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: building a bard, that's great. But that's not why I
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: do it. Yeah, you know, I do it because I
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: want to look in their eyes and feel like I
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: made a difference to somebody or some family. And that's
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: really a powerful thing to that.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Well, the minute we said you were going to have
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you on, we've been getting talkbacks and we've been getting calls.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: People want to talk to John Taffer. We get some
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: right here.
• 12:47
  Speaker 12: Hi, John, big fan of yours. Your show is always
• 12:49
  Speaker 12: on at my house every Sunday. You're yelling, brings me joy.
• 12:53
  Speaker 12: I have a question for you. What would you say
• 12:55
  Speaker 12: the grossest thing you've ever seen an employee do before?
• 12:58
  Speaker 13: Thanks?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, there's a couple I want to be there's
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a clean show. But I found a used piece of
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: sexual apparatus behind the bar. Once. That was a shocker.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I went in to do recon in the bar in Austin,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Texas called Headhunters, and I did recon with my wife
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and she was wearing open toe heels and the cockroaches
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: were walking across.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Her feet, all on her.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: And we had a shut down production. It had a
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Class five infestation. We had a shut down production tent.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: The building fumigated or you know, fog it out and
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: then go back in. And it was a Class five infestation.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: It was unbelievable.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And now you've got to deal with the town and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: with permitting, and you've got to clean it up and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: have it reinspected.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And we have a production schedule, and now we're behind
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: in schedule, so the next bar has to push back
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: two weeks. But you know, that was a pretty disgusting one.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: You know what you was another one we kept back
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and have some brown butter bourbon.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: That's why I shouldn't.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: You're not going to drink that, are you? He opened
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: the bottle. He can't drink that on the air. He
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: gets drunk on one step.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, there we go.

• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, we're doomed. Good stuff delicious right.

  Speaker 1: So, Jimmy Kim, a longtime friend, longtime band leader Kalito Escuebazito,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: died this week. He was only forty nine years old.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: You can understand Kimmel got emotional last night.
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: We've been on the air for almost twenty three years
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: and I've had to do some.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Hard monologues along the way.
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: But this will This one's a hardness because late last
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: night early this morning, we lost someone very special who
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: was much too young to go, and I'd like to
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: tell you about him, if you don't mind me. His
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: name was Kalido, but we all called him two him.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Boy Kimmel. Sounds like it'd be a great friend, doesn't he.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: He and Klido go way back to when they were
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: just nine years old. They lived across the street from
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: each other, and in the nineties, Cleto toured with Oh
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I don't Know, Paula Abdul, Mark Anthony, and then in
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: two thousand and three Kimmel I brought Cleto on as
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the band leader, and Kimmel had some really good old
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: stories to share.
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: Clito was the leader growing up, I was the sidekick.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: He was the star.
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: Cleto played saxophone. I played clarinet. That's kind of all
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: you need to know about it. When I was a
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: local DJ at a junkie little radio station in Palm Springs,
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: Cleto was on stage playing the twenty thousand people and
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: then a few years went by and our roles reversed.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: It was my show, My.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Name was on everything.
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: I was, all of a sudden the star, and a
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: lot of people who have a huge amount of talent
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: would have a problem with that. Clito never did, not
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: a twinge of jealousy, envy, passive aggressiveness, none of that, ever,
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: the opposite.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: He was proud of me.
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: He loved me, He loved seeing all of this happened.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: We loved being a.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Part of it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Cleto Escabido died at fifty nine years old.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: So young.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: When they were kids, they used to stay up late
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: and watch David Letterman because obviously it was Jimmy's.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Dream and he was the king at the time.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Letter And then when Jimmy got the job in two
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: thousand and three, he bought he brought Cleto on.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: He's been there ever since.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: So all right, Kimmel's never brought out the clarinet?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Has he?
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And maybe I just haven't seen it on the show.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: That would be so cool. Maybe he will now this week.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I don't see a lot of.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Trip now, you really don't. Breaking news this morning, Sabrina

• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I went in to do recon in the bar in Austin,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Texas called Headhunters, and I did recon with my wife
• 24:41

  Speaker 15: It's a great organization and we're still kind of a startup,
• 26:45
  Speaker 15: but our mission is to provide care and dignity and
• 26:52
  Speaker 15: resources and opportunities to every child who's engaged with the
• 26:56
  Speaker 15: Department of Children and Families, which is our states child
• 27:00
  Speaker 15: welfare system. And that means there are thirty five thousand
• 27:04
  Speaker 15: children in every city in town in Massachusetts who are
• 27:08
  Speaker 15: eligible for Wonderfund resources, Meaning.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: What like, how does it all work? How can children
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: take advantage? How can families of children in need or
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: involved with DCF, how can they take advantage of the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: program of Wonderfund.
• 27:21
  Speaker 15: We do everything that we do in partnership with the
• 27:24
  Speaker 15: social workers of DCF. So a social worker can make
• 27:28
  Speaker 15: a request on behalf of any child on their caseload
• 27:33
  Speaker 15: for emergency essentials like clothing or a backpack or a
• 27:38
  Speaker 15: winter coat, or they can request funding for any kind
• 27:44
  Speaker 15: of activity that that child might want to do. So
• 27:46
  Speaker 15: if they want to play sports, or go on the
• 27:49
  Speaker 15: eighth grade field trip, or go to prom or take
• 27:52
  Speaker 15: driver's ed summer camp, whatever they want to do, the
• 27:56
  Speaker 15: social worker makes the request and we say yes.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: And in some cases these are children who had to
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: be removed from their homes for their own safety, right,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So it's a sad situation.
• 28:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah, no child wants to be involved with child welfare,
• 28:14
  Speaker 15: no family does. But when a family's in crisis and
• 28:19
  Speaker 15: the state steps in, DCF is there to ensure the
• 28:22
  Speaker 15: safety and protection of the child, and the Wonderfund, through
• 28:27
  Speaker 15: this great partnership we have, can really focus on how
• 28:31
  Speaker 15: that child feels and what they need to recapture those
• 28:35
  Speaker 15: moments of childhood that every child deserves.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: And.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: We'll do.
• 28:41
  Speaker 15: We'll say yes to anything pretty much, and especially.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: With the holidays coming up.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I mean I've been there as a young child when
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: there's nothing, but I wasn't in strife like a lot
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: of young kids are removed from homes fighting for their
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: own safety, so I can't imagine it. So this is
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: the perfect time of year for this. Now, what is
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the process? How does it work behind the scenes with
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: all the gifts being put together and being sent out?
• 29:05
  Speaker 15: Well, every year, the Wonderfund does a massive holiday gift
• 29:09
  Speaker 15: drive where we distribute donated holiday gifts to thirty thousand
• 29:14
  Speaker 15: kids and it's not just one gift, it's everything anything
• 29:19
  Speaker 15: they want. So we will ask social workers to collect
• 29:23
  Speaker 15: the actual wish lists of kids and we let we
• 29:29
  Speaker 15: ask donors to sponsor a child, or ten kids or
• 29:32
  Speaker 15: a thousand kids, fulfill those wish lists specifically, and then
• 29:36
  Speaker 15: deliver them to an office, a DCF office, where the
• 29:40
  Speaker 15: social worker will take it to the child. The other
• 29:43
  Speaker 15: way we do it is.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: People can go.
• 29:47
  Speaker 15: Online and purchase off of our Amazon wish list and
• 29:51
  Speaker 15: they can buy loose toys, and those toys come to
• 29:53
  Speaker 15: our warehouse in Newton, and we have volunteers coming over
• 29:57
  Speaker 15: to on box and sore and pack holiday gifts for kids,
• 30:02
  Speaker 15: and then they get shipped out to every DCF office
• 30:05
  Speaker 15: across the state.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: I've seen the videos of the actual operation and it's
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: so uplifting to watch that knowing these piles of toys
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: are going to kids that really really need them.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: This is a great organization.
• 30:18
  Speaker 15: Thank you, An, They's a great organization.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Are we doing an event together tomorrow night?
• 30:23
  Speaker 15: I hope you're going to show up, Billy, because we're
• 30:25
  Speaker 15: really counting on you.

• 31:56
  Speaker 15: to donate a gift or to donate money so he
• 32:00
  Speaker 15: can buy gifts. Because these are kids who, through no
• 32:04
  Speaker 15: fault of their own, are living in a really tough situation.
• 32:07
  Speaker 15: And when when your family's in crisis, what you want
• 32:12
  Speaker 15: for Christmas or or whatever holiday you celebrate, like, it's
• 32:18
  Speaker 15: just not a high priority. And a lot of these kids,
• 32:20
  Speaker 15: if you didn't, if you didn't fulfill their wish list,
• 32:24
  Speaker 15: no one would.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: And you'll know you're doing the right thing. It's the
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: holiday season and you're doing good. And like tomorrow night,

  Speaker 17: you have chickens lay brown eggs or white eggs? If
• 36:35
  Speaker 17: you could maybe mention that on the radio or even
• 36:38
  Speaker 17: in the after podcast. Thanks.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: They are brown eggs of all different sizes. Some are
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: small and some are big.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I really want one.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: I'll bring some in. I eat about six a day.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, bring a few wins so we can have
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: eggs in the morning. They're really delicious. Have you had
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: like farm raised eggs. Oh, there's a huge difference. They
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: taste much better and they're much better for you.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, you don't give me a lecture.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just asking for a couple of eggs.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'll bring them in, but just know what you're getting.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: They're special eggs.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: You have to appreciate the egg.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Okay. With the appreciation, it's an egg.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, when all is said and done, it's an egg.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: No, because I'm gonna give you.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: I'll give you the eggs, Billy, and then you're gonna
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: report back and you're gonna say that was the best
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: egg I've ever had. They're fantastic. So you should see
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: the coup. By the way, she's got it all winterized.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: My wife, she's a complete psycho.
• 37:38

  Speaker 4: have a heated like area that they can go in.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: They live better than me.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: You have no idea.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: It's like a mansion for hens.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And it started I know, you know, you probably
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: It started with I want to get a little coop
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: with two chickens, and then she ordered nine, and so
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: the nine came and it was too small, So then
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: we had to build this big.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Mansion for the chicken.
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she ordered the chickens.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: You can order them to be sent in. We gave
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: two away because they were eating the other.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Nay, are they still beating the spit out of that
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: one chicken?
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: No, we we expelled two of them. We had we
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: had nine, now we have seven.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Where do they go when they're expelled?
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: We gave them to a farm that took them. What
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: they do is as a pecking order. You haven't had
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: that term pecking order. So they attack one of them

• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Found a list that a woman had her daughter sent
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: it to her of rules for the holiday parties. It's
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: completely ridiculous. I'm not even gonna replay it now, but
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: that was our topic time, right, family drama.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: You know, the holiday's not coming up.
• 39:31
  Speaker 18: I was a teacher at this preschool and I was
• 39:33
  Speaker 18: the only male teacher in this preschool. And one year
• 39:36
  Speaker 18: we had a Yankees to have Christmas party and everything
• 39:40
  Speaker 18: was all feminine and I opened something and then someone
• 39:43
  Speaker 18: opened a Cheesecake Factory gift card. I took it, and
• 39:45
  Speaker 18: I was like, perfect, No one will switch it with me.
• 39:48
  Speaker 18: This one older teacher walked on over handed me her
• 39:52
  Speaker 18: gift and took the gift card. So now I'm the
• 39:55
  Speaker 18: proud owner of a makeup bag and a candle holder.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Oh and the Yankee swaps was a major topic because
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: there's always drama with the Yankee swaps.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, always, yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I was thinking I was a Yankee swap. That's where
