  Speaker 1: topics and one leading the way. I don't know if
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you heard, but one mister Tiger Woods uh yeah, got
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: into another car accident d w Y. I think it refused.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I was reading a little bit. I think it refused
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to blow or do the sobriety test because the last
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: one he had almost they almost.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Amputated his legs.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Yep uh and he was.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: On like percocets biking.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: In that last body cam footage of it was was
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: really bad. That's probably why you refuse this one.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I just kind of got late late word.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I was running around and he had a rollover in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Florida Jupiter Island or something and property damage and hit
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: another car, everyone walked away.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Seriously injured at all, but man, like, at what point
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: do you just not how do you not have a driver?
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: He just loves wrecking cars. There's just nothing else to
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: say at this point.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I don't like And it's like, I don't think he's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a big drinker.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: It's just this.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I think he's I feel bad for him because I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: think he's in so much pain all the time.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I think it's depression drinking pain drinking. You know, once
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: you a lot of times these athletes, once they get
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: these prescription medicines, they don't really know how to handle them, and.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: The doctors just keep they will not they're not going
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to tell Tiger no, no, you know, and you know
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: he's dating the Trump girl, and I don't know, like,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: how do you I don't know. He's got to go
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to rehab. I guess like he's going to miss the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Masters now. I mean, if he plays the Masters, that'd
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: be fucking crazy. It's not like Scottie Scheffler getting falsely
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: pulled over or whatever out of his car.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: No, he's just wrecking cars left in her cars.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You know, nothing good when happens when he gets in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a car. But like, come on though, like you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you and I like to drink. Like if we were.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Billionaires, I would never step futting. I would never step
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: fut in the driver's seat.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: No, no way, not a chance.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: There's too much to lose, there is.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And you know, his his reputation is always you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: it's it's just that it is what it is. Kind
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of thing with Tiger ye over the years, the cheating
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: on the wife, with the fucking girl in every state.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, good for him, I guess, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: but uh yeah, it's just I'm not shocked, you know
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what I mean. It's just oh yeah, okay, Tiger got
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: another car all doped up on purpose, you know, fucking
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: feeling good. It was like two in the afternoon and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: he got a te wee ah.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: That might be one of those from the night before,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and he just he just kept it going.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, Florida, you know, you never you.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Just keep going.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: We've had a few of those in our little two
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: chains trips.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so two three hours of sleep, keep it going.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you put us behind one of those cars,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: we probably would have did the same thing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't know me and Pascual. I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: really know who started it. I know it wasn't you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: because I remember you coming up to me like I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: in the first year.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we do.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: It's about nine guys.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Now. We do a trip every summer a different location.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And you know, it started out as a golf thing.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I think one year did we even golf. No, we
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: golfed every year at least one round. First year was
• 4:45

• 4:50
  Speaker 3: we played once at Atlantic City because it got rained
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: out the second time on one of them, and then
• 4:55

• 5:10
  Speaker 1: one day.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so a wide range of personalities, but
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: one thing we all have in common. Everyone gets really
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: really drunk. Yep, and to the point where we've owed
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: some extra money on our airbnbs. We've had a certain
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: fellow who's getting married in a couple of weeks. Really
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: just I don't know how to describe it. He is,

• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather, Right, so he's basically he's broke, like broke

  Speaker 1: he I think in his career made close to a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: billion dollars or over a billion dollars. Yeah, and uh,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: this is this is just I'm gonna read off some
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of the things that he's basically bought, you know, without
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: really much you know, investment, let's say, in the purchases.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Some of it is but he never wore I'm just
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: reading what I fucking read. His spending habits and lists
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of expenses are mind boggling. Floyd Mayweather never wore a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: pair of underwear twise, which that's just kind of cool.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I'm more of a sock guy, Like when I go
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: on vacation, I buy new socks and I throw them
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: out and so I don't have to pack him on
• 8:35

• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Leave everything home.

• 9:01
  Speaker 1: was sanitizing his car collection each morning. At twelve thousand
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: dollars a week. Oh, I'm sorry, sorry his morning. And
• 9:08

• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Six figures on Little Caesar's Bowl.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Averaged one k week and best lost fifty million dollars
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: gambling in one year. Now he's selling his jets and

• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Four years ago.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: His career earnings there we Go are one point two billion,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and he's broke his plan fight Mike Tyson.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: The thing is he can get away with it though.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, he can do a cop fights and make
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: make ten fifteen million dollars, no problem. You can go
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: over to Japan or Saudi Arabia where these people just
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: pay people.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's fine. But he's gonna make the money,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and then what he's gonna do with it, He's gonna
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: go broke again.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna go broke again.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Can imagine being making earning? Like, all right, let's say
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: one point two billion is what you've earned, you know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: slash a third of that. You still earn seven hundred
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: million dollars and you're broke. Like, what's he gonna all
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: these cars depreciate? I don't see. I mean, I'm sure
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you own a great home, but who knows he might
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: have leased it or rented it. These fucking people, they
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: have so much money. They don't understand what it's worth.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: They don't know what they don't know what to do
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: with it. They don't know they don't know what to
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: do with it. They have five thousand different people talking
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: in the air, and they care about the hype. Yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: that's it.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: It's just mind boggling. I mean, you hear a lot
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of stories about like the people that win the lottery
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and they just blow through it because they don't know
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: how to Even if you have like a financial advisor,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you probably hire the wrong one and you stole all
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: his money any way, you know. But yeah, it's it's just.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like, oh, if I got like twenty grand,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I'm gonna make sure I don't
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: blow it, you know, on stuff.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But you know, you got to invest it somehow.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, the only reason you should be blowing
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: any money is like vacations or I.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Think it becomes an addiction at that point. I don't
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: even think it's like a stupidity thing. I think the
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: the hype around him that he's got to buy all
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: these things and spend all this money, it's becomes an addiction.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: You become that person and you can't you can't go
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: off of that, off of that. It's all about you
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: being in the spotlight at all times. Yeah, that's it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: But when he walked away, I mean, you know he's fought, well,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: he fought who uh Logan Paul or Jake Paul Right
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of years back, three four years ago. I
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: think that was like an exhibition bullshit thing. That was
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: one of those cryptos, one of those cryptos from Connecticut.

  Speaker 1: I mean you started right after the Super Bowl, right,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: so you push it two months?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, April ninth will be two months. It's been good.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It's definitely different than anything I've ever done, which is
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: very eye awakening because you know, you don't really know
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: what you're getting yourself into. But at the same time,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't mind it. You know, I feel like I
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: got a little bit of the short end of the
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: stick with who was training me and the department that
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I'm in. Bough that just means that I got to
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: go in and change things up as best as I can.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: And I like the people that I work with. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: don't I don't hate showing up to work every day,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: which you know, a lot of people can't say that
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I don't love it yet, but I don't. I don't
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: see why I can't. It's fun.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Like every morning on my drive in It's like even
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: this morning, every morning on my drive and I'm like, yeah, fuck,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: how long you keep doing this for? It's just my
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: it's just my mentality. I woke up betfore thirty in
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the morning, and I showered and I got my routine
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and I'm, you know, in there at five point fifty
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: every morning. But by seven am, I'm like, that's fucking cool.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And then I think the time flies. To be honest
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: with you, I really do too, because like between the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: meetings and walking around and then you get into little
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: mini conversations on the side, and then you have you
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: end up making friends with people or be friendly with people.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: The time does fly and you deal with.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: You know, some absolute insane people, because it is an
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: insane asylum over there. Yeah, and then by the time
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: i leave, I'm like, man, what it was a good day?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: You know? Yeah?
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And I know I'm making money and i know I'm
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: saving money and I have great health and shured, you know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just a good job.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: It's a smart job to have.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: It's a smart job.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: To have, and it's not it's it could be mentally
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: training sometimes physically like what we're used to doing all
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Oh no, god, it's cake.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: My aura ring tells me, oh, get off your chair
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and start walking around. Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: The first couple of weeks, I was like, there's no
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: way I'm going to continue doing this because I was lost.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I had no idea what was going on. I didn't
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: understand anything because every other thing that I've done, I've
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I've picked up pretty quickly, you know. But going in there,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: it's a whole different world. And I was like, I'm
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: not going to make it. There's no way.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I I literally the first week I was there, I'm like,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: what the fuck did I step myself in?
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Exactly? I totally feel that way. But then now, yeah,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: you know, I still have an egregious amount to learn,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: but you hear me in the meetings now, like I
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: feel like I'm getting to you know, getting the hang
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: of it, you know.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Slightly at your stage. Now it's almost two months in.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even talking meetings yet.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Like, so the guy training you, I actually give him
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: credit for like letting you do that, because it's like,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you know, Calm's my boss, so he always had tight fucking.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: You know, kid gloves with me.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, let me just.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: At least try, Like, what am I gonna get in trouble?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I've been here six weeks. Like everyone that goes and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: works for Sikorski probably never worked on a helicopter before
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: or knows anything about helicopter parts. And I can pretty
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: much almost tell you how to build one now just
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: by working there. I couldn't build it because I don't
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: turn wrenches, but I know what goes where for the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: most part. Some of the inners, you know, the actual
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: like inside of a cockpit, I don't know because we
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: don't have that where we are, ye from Strafford. But
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the main stuff that you know, the rotor heads, the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: main gearboxes and the tails and all that stuff.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: And U and I had a conversation today with one
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of my guys and uh, you know, one of the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: things I feel, I don't want to you know, I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: don't really want to talk about Siorski, but I equated
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: it to bartending. I'm like, you know, as a bartender,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you have your awesome guests, whether they tip you well
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: or not.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: They're your regulars, right, and then you have your you know.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: People you see every once in a while or just
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: good guests to come in out of the blue and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: have a good conversation. Said well, and then you have
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: your assholes, and then you have your really really fucked
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: up people like you just don't want to you walk in,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: you fucking fuck.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: You walk away? Right.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: We have the same thing there.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's all about building relationships with people.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be friendly friends with them outside
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of work, but if you want to get stuff done.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I already know I've been there a little
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: over a year and a half. I know who I
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: can go to if I really need something done, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I know who I go to, like if Iah, maybe
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: they'll do it. And then I know who I don't
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: even bother going to.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you'll figure all that out.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And your department is much smaller than mine, but you
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: have a lot of challenges as well. So the one
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: thing I've noticed is and this guy I talk today
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: is an old timer, and I'm like, what I don't get, Well,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I get it, but what I don't get is the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: young kids.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: And there's a big gap.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: There's the fifty plus and then the thirty below, so
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: thirty to fifty, it's void of people in that generation.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: And what I see is that none of these people
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: in below thirty give a fuck what they're building and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: what they're building for, Like you are building aircraft that
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: saves people's lives, gets people out of danger. And I
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: said to him, I said, your generation, and he's the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: younger side of that generation. But your generation is it?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: You know, like do you guys feel that like like
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: do you still have that passion? He's like, jare, I'm
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: telling you you should have seen this place thirty forty
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: years ago. I mean, like we would all like go
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to work. It was great First of all, it was
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: crazy busy back then when I was busy now, and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: we'd motherfuck each other all day. But it's just like
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, like restaurant world. We'd go
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to a happy hour on a Friday, and it's almost
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: like the shows.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: But we'd all just tell.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Stories that we fucked up a par or this and that.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: But they felt terrible because you know, the greater good
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: is getting these planes in the air, the telecopters in
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the air and saving people. Yep. I just don't think
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: these kids, they fuck up apart. They don't give a fuck.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I see them walk around. They don't give a fuck,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: they don't care, they don't there.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: It's a nice they're making way too much money for
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: their age. We didn't make that much money, like like
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: for what they're doing. No, you know, and it's frustrating
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and it's a paycheck for them. Yeah, how do you
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: how do you you know, I've said this since I started,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: how do we change the culture? Because I'm never going
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: to change the old time because they're gone in the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: next contract and then we're going to be stuck with
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: not you know, all these guys and there's some really
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: good kids don't get me wrong, but that are just
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: like you said, they're there for the paycheck and they
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: don't work there.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: All this time off.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: That's kind of like life right now across the board though, right, No,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: the whole generation like it's it's getting it's getting pretty bad,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: right and you just see it and everything is done
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: on social media and it's it's not making anyone look
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: any better. It's not you know, the whole hard working
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: you know American dream. You work hard, and you know
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: you get to tire once you're done. Working hard is
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: like kind of gone. You can't really just work like
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: a normal nine to five. And no, no.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I mean you're one of the few.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: You're under thirty, right, twenty nine, twenty seven.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Twenty seven, so yeah, you're you're like an outlier for
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: this whole generation.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I grew up with a bunch of older people,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: you know. I grew up with people who worked really hard,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: had their own businesses, entrepreneurs. So I learned from them.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: And honestly, I think I take big credit in being
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: in the restaurant industry at such a young age because
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: you just grow up so much faster.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even the people we work with that Stonebridge. You know,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: the younger bartenders even that we're friends with, they're they're
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: more mature than their their friends. You know. They come
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: with their friends and they act like idiots, and we're like,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: why are you hanging out with them? And I'm like,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I'm like, wait a second, you are them, Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: You are them. You grew up with these guys, yeah
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, you're right. It's you've learned, you know.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And I feel like, you know, me and Camp that
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: worked there for twenty seven years, it's like I take
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: pride in like the Ryan, the Ryan's of the Ryan.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Peas, the Zach Clear good people.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: You know, they're all good people that we brought in.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: And I can't say I really trained them because I'm not.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not a trainer, but outside of work, working with them,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: these guys for years, and now look at zach S
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: at Sikorski killing it. Ryan PE's about to open the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Shelton fucking Texas Roadhouse. He's killing it.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Like these guys have.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Moved on from Stonebridge, which is great too, and you
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: don't want to be like me and Camp just.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Fucking you know, I got out, you know, a year ago.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Whatever. But you know, Camp will be there probably till
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: he dies. Yeah, I love you, buddy, but like, yeah,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I just don't see him going anywhere.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I didn't want to do. I didn't
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: want to just you know, once I sold the restaurant,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I knew I had to do something different. I didn't
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: want to open up another restaurant. I didn't want to
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: go back to bartending. I kind of wanted to get
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: away from the restaurant business. I'm already in the food business, right,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: so I didn't want to have to go back to
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: where I was. I wanted to go do something different. Right.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, I walk the floor now and I
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: see you there in Alberto.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: That's awesome, Yeah, and me good.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You know, Danny's probably not long for you know, the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: operational side, but he's not gonna leave. Sikorski and even
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Matt Peters, you know, he's younger than us, but he's
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a good kid.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: He's smart.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I think we've got a great crew right now. I
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: think we really do. And I think we could be
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: kind of a culture not changer. But you know, just
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: just you know, correct some laziness, some some some bad habits,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit it's hard because we're slow. If you're
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: if you're if we're like jamming busy, I could just
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I can see how it's like, oh okay, like this is.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Everyone's working around you, working exactly.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: So now it's a little difficult. But once that k
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: comes in a couple of years, we'll be ramped up again.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: But all right, if it's talk, but it's great. Honestly, dude,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: this great scene of the hilarious it is and fucking
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I honestly I didn't know how people were gonna take it.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Just you know, I honestly don't know if I could
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: work there without the people that are there.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Now, like just off the street, not knowing anybody.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Not knowing. I don't think I could walk through that
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: company and not know anybody and and do like the
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: fact that you calm you know, Birdo, Dan, all these guys,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Matt Peters, all of them, they just you know, they
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: took me underneath, you know, your wing and you guys
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: have helped me out a bunch, and we make work
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: collectively a lot easier and more fun.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: It makes it more fun too.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's just you walk around and see
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: red and yeah, you know, you see so many familiar faces,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and it's good.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I think where we work we're very fortunate, you know,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: we have our characters there. But it's nothing. I don't
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: think it like Strafford. So no, you know, I mean
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I may and end up in Strafford one day. That's
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: just the progression of promotion. Like Sheltings a little limited
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and Karming going anywhere for ten years. So I don't
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: see me taking over his role anytime soon.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: No, which is.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Fine, you know.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still learning too.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I'm in there year and a half. There's still terms
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that come out every day. But I said one this morning,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: one of my meaning and what the fuck does that mean? Yeah,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like, really like Jesus Christ. But
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: let's get to uh. Uh So you still have a business.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: It's a food uh meal prep, Meal Prep. I actually
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: am one of your better customers.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Yep. Uh.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I buy a lot of water from you.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I do buy it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I'm almost due, probably a couple of weeks. But tell everybody, uh,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: basically how to follow you what what you know? They're
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: all kind of healthy meals, all around five hundred.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: Calories, five to six hundred yep.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Uh they're delicious ninety percent of the time.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: And that's just being honest.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I don't like everything going well, yeah, you know, it
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: gets food, you know, that's it.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Uh, So talk about it a little bit.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Pretty much started it during COVID when all the restaurants
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: shut down and my barber and his barber crew were
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: still operating. And he knows that, you know, I've been
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: a chef my whole life, So he reached out to
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: me and was pretty much like, Hey, can you any
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: chance you want to make me and the shop meals
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: for the week. And I wasn't collecting unemployment at the time,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: so like I was like, you know, I could use
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: the money. So I started making the meals. I went
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: to the grocery store, I went home, I bought you know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: meal prep containers, and I started making the meals. And
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I had no idea what I was doing, especially from
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: a food cost standpoint, and no idea what I was making.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I just knew that if I spent two hundred, I'd
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: need to make more than two hundred. So it created
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: a little pricing scheme for them, and I pretty much
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: made them whatever they wanted, and they started posting them
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: and then my barber's you know, fiance is a nurse.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Then she started getting them and posting them. And then
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: a bunch of other nurses started to reach out to
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: me and they started posting them, and I started posting them,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: and everything trickled from so media, everything until this day.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: You know, I've spent zero dollars on marketing. I don't
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: have a website, I don't have an Instagram account for it.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Everything is done through me. I control everything. And that's
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: why A. I think it's been super successful, and B
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: why people use me is because I'm not like these
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: massive companies that are just totally on personable. It's just
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: dealing with a robot. It almost makes it seem like
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: I'm your personal chef. You know. I communicate with people
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: on a weekly basis. I send them the menu. They're
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: all almost like restaurants specialist menu, so they're not like
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: just boring chicken, rice and vegetables, you know, their creative meals.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: So it's it's kind of like give a personal chef
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: making you restaurant style meals. Every single every.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Meal, every meal, every week is inspired by you.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do everything, and no menu is ever the same.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I will never pull a menu from a past week
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: and repost that same menu. It a menu item, yes,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: a menu item yes, over time, especially big sellers. If
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: something doesn't sell, I'll scrap it entirely and I won't
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: ever use it. I mean, I have an Excel sheet
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: with over five hundred different menu options that I if
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I don't I actually sit down and I go off
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: the top of my head. I don't even look at
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: that Excel sheet. The only time I look at that
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Excel sheet is when I get stuck. I create the
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: specials menu for the week in my head. I sit
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: down every single Monday night and I think about what
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I had last week and had to change it up
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: for this week, and to make it completely different, and
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I make a whole new menu. I never never duplicate
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: it there there. I don't want to say that they're cheap,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: but they're a lot cheaper than other companies, you know,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: so you get a good price on them. That's also
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: why I stay competitive. And it's been going pretty well.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew you'd fit in at Sikorski.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: When you send out a message through your meal prep
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: that there may be a little delay tomorrow because of
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the storm, but your food will get there. And then
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I texted you. I'm like, what's going on. You're like,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I fired everybody. I'm like, what, Yeah, they said, sorry,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think we will to make it. The more
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like, You're like, that's not negotiable. Fucking you're done
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: and you got people done.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because when I hire people, I let them know
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: that are you able to drive in snow?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Are you able to drive in rain? Yes? Et cetera.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: And then the governor shut the state down. You're like, no,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: deliver the ship.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: No. As long as we can go out there, we
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: do it. You know. I see the second the second one.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: The second one I had to do to delivery. Timing
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: was different. It was the midst of the storm, so
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I had to push it back. But I mean, I
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: was driving around Connecticut picking up my chefs and dishwashers
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: from when we were actually prepping the food on Sunday,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: because they were trying to call out on Sunday saying
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: that they couldn't it was not safe to drive, or
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: they couldn't get the card of the snow. So I
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: responded back, oh, so that's why you can't show up
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: to work, And they said yes, and I said, okay,
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: well then I'll come pick you up. I'll come get
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: you They're like, uh, okay, yeah, what are you going
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: to say now? You already told me that that's the
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: only reason why you can't come to work. You're not sick, right,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: So I'll come pick you up. So I drove around
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: west Haven, Bridgeport, New Haven, picked up my workers. We
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: went to work.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Well, like, in all honesty, like do you think if
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: you just postpone everything by a day? To you, that's unacceptable.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I mean because it was pretty bad out or you know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: like I don't think any of your I don't know
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: your customers, but like I know what I've been like, Yo,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere anyway.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: I'm off.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: So like because it comes tomorrow, I'm cool.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: It's more of a consistency thing. I've had clients that
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: have been ordering for four years consistently get their meals
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: on Monday. I have clients that go to work at
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: a certain place on Monday that don't work on Tuesday.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Everything just everything is timed with me, you know what
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, By the time we go in and prep
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: the food, by the time we bagged the food, we
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: plate the food, the driver's show up. Everything is on
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: a time limits. So consistency, you know, helps businesses. Yeah,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: you gotta be consistent.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: No, I get, I get it, but I'm just saying that,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: like I understand.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Also, like when your customers see that you're going through
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: those efforts to deliver them their food in a snowstorm,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe some people don't buy me personally. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: would respect the ship out of that.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, I mean, god forbid, you got like a
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: bad accident and died. I would just been like, yo,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: it's my food there. Yeah, I just want my grilled
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: buffalo chicken.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: I would drive pick up the meals and then go
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: finish throughout.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: No and all. Honestly, they are they're they're delicious. They're
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: perfect for me. I mean, I don't order crazy from you.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: But you know it's people at all.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Don't get them on I don't you know, I don't
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: get them Monday. I mean I get them on Monday,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: but I don't get them to bring to work on Monday.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll start having to bring one in.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: With with you for me.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: There you go, there we go.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I just thought of that right now.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't think of that either. Yeah, I had people
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: that ordered four meals once every six months. Really they're
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: on the list. They get the menu. They want to
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: stay on the menu listing.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: How do you keep I know, it's an Excel sheet
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: right like you're getting so you're getting all the ship
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: through text messaging, right.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Mostly text message, phone calls, emails.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Man, I don't know how to keep it all together.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Is it hard?
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: It sucks? Yeah, it sucks. It sucks you like, nope, no, no,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Because when I went to the so when I changed
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: the website and I had everyone, I had a whole
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I spent a bunch of money, I had a whole website,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: was ready to go. Everything was you know, done through
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: the correct avenues. Like we we did everything the right way.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: We got our own name, our own website, created our
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: ordering system, everything. I reached out to everyone and I said, hey,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: we're switching to website orders. You got a men you
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: will still be posted on the website. You've got to
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: go on yourself, you know, order, put your card info
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: in pay and then deliver and it'll get delivered. I
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: lost eighty percent of the business in two months. Every
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: single person stop because I was just like every other company.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: I make it so easy for everyone that it's hard
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: not to order through me. I make it so easy
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: everyone else doesn't want to go through making an account
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: or dealing with subscriptions, or even with these big companies.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Though they might have thirty forty options, those thirty forty
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: options don't really change. You're going to cycle through them
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: eventually and get bored of them. You know. With me,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: it's it's completely personalized, and people like that. People like that.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: You know, I remind people, Hey, you got to order
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: every single every single week for four years. I sent
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: out that reminder text message.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I have to ask that too, Like, so you literally
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: text me today about all right, about this show coming on,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and then like three seconds later I get to fucking reminder.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: By the way, I got to answer that reminder be
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: able to.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Answer it live on the show. Yeah, how do you
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: do that? You don't individually text everybody, but you have
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Like is there like something where everyone's on the list
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and you just said, I'm so fucking illiterate with this ship. Yeah, no,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I'm used like group texts and I get all these
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: other numbers on it. Do you text me individually or
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: am min in a group that texts everyone separately?
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: It text you separately.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Oh is that an app? Or I sound so stupid
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: right now? I don't know.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: No, you can't do that. No, no, no, it's an app.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it's kind of cool actually, like you can
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: mass send something out, but you got individuals back exactly.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Oh that's cool. Learn something new every day. So tell
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: everyone how they can basically find you.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: My instagram squal V, s q U a l V.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: It's called meal plus prep. Follow me on there. If
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: you're in the need for meal prep service, you can
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: reach out to me.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: And what's cool is like to piggyback on what you
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: said before. I like, like every Tuesday Wednesday you send
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: out the menu and I know it's gonna be different
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: It's always zoom in on them.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Cool.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: It's just kind of an exclusiveness to my company. Also,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: like you need to kind of know me or know
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: someone that orders me for you to be able to order. Right,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: You're not just gonna find me by googling good meal
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: prep services. It has to be a word of mouth.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: And if someone's recommending it to you, it means that
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: they trust it, So you're gonna probably you're gonna use
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: me off of just watching an add online, right, you
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: know what I mean. So that's also like a huge
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: part is ninety percent of it has been word of mouth.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you see him there's like there's where
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you do four meals, then you.
• 35:40

• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they think, well why is it sold out? Exactly,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: It's just easy marketing.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: You don't even have to sell out to say it's
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: sold out. Yeah, we can all go eat it. Ah
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Man news in the Olympics, I don't know if you saw.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: It's causing a big stir. Do you see this?
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Have announced both Winter and the Olympic Committee for all
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: the Olympics announced that biological men that cannot.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Compete with the women.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Interesting, yeah, I mean commentsand yeah, but you know who's
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: going crazy is the left? Oh my god, Like, I'm
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: so tired of this spot.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: I don't even know how they can argue it.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Don't get it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Like the what was it? It was a boxer, yeah,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: knocking knocking everyone.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Fu an Iranian box or whatever, knock out that.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Poor girl knocking everyone out.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: And then they found that the dude's got a dick.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's like.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Again, like I am just tired of the topic. And
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: this is what makes this is what.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Kills the liberals.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: It's this stupid ship like this, like you could be
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: sympathizers to certain things that's fine. You can have your
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: little protests against Trump in the street this Saturday. Have
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: at it. But literally, where are the feminists here? And
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the women, like the liberal women like? You know what,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: this might be maybe a little over the line. Create
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: a trans group if you want. Like, there's literally a
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: men's in a women's group on purpose. I just you know,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: And the people are no fucking excluding people. No we're not. No,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: you know what. You know who else we exclude the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: parent fucking bellegics. They can't beat with fu people with legs,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: so they had their own fucking Olympics. Let's have trans Olympics.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I think that'd be great.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Go for it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: You can run around your goofy hair and your flags
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: and all the bullshit and your mental health struggles. I
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: read this fucking joke. It wasn't even a joke. This
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: was this was the Nashville Predators, right had Pride Night,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and they made their logo the Predator logo, the Pride flag.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Think about that Predators Pride flag jo.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: They really they really should have thought about a little
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: bit deeper. They really should have. But no one's none
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: of them think about anything deeper. That's that's the real problem.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: They just say ship and they do shit, and then
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: there's zero repercussions for it because they make a giant
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: deal about it, I know, and they just continue to
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: get away with it.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even think they understand.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: What I don't think that. I don't think they understand
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: what's arguing about either.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: They're just out there.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, the no Kings is one of the most
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: hilarious fucking things ever. When you know, we have a
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: governor like Lamont, we had all the COVID lockdown shit.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Fauci was a king.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: If you want to fucking talk about kings, you know
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: you were. You were not not allowed to do anything.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: You could disagree with Trump all you want. That's what
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: That's what being an American is. And disagreeing with your president
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: and and God bless you go do it. I don't care,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: but the basis in the platform you do it on.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: It's just so ridiculous. He's not a king, you know.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: And and I think I think your liberals in Congress
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: and Senate are such fucking pussies that you don't even
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: stand up to him. All you do is bitch about him.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: No one's gonna go to his face and say, yo,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: what you're doing is fucking wrong. Go do that. I
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: have more respect for you stead of just get in
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: front of a microphone and a camera and Jeffrey's what
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the fuck his name is? With a stupid fucking grand
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: man of Schumber and all these guys. He just looks
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: so stupid. But yet the liberals all eat it up. Like,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know it just I just can't understand.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I have friends that are liberals, and some of their
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: ideas are fine. I actually, you know, get along with
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: You know, there's one today that's in Milfords, remember the
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: old Paul's Yeah, yeah, so it got sold.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: I saw that they want to build apartments.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Yea, their building apartments. So everyone's up in arms again, right,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: which I get because Milford's becoming.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: This you know a lot of these apartments.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: But I wrote on the fucking Facebook page, I'm like, guys,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: it's seventeen years to buy the fucking property and bill
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: whatever the fuck you want. You can't get mad for
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: a developer coming in there forever, So like, let that
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: one be all right? Them tear down the diner down
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: to down the other end Bridgeport Flyer. You know, the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: guy sold to the highest bidder, I guess, and it sucks.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: But again, I mean, these things are getting gobbled up too.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: It's not either fucking vacant housings. My problem is where
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: all the tax money? Where what tax money regenerating from this?
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Why are my tax going down?
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: The thing is, if it was really that prosperous, he
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have sold it, or a developer or developer wouldn't
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: have bought it because the price would have been too high,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: and another restaurant tour would have came in and bought it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: And that's on the people. Why are you not going
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: in and supporting local businesses. Why are local businesses selling
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: to these developers for your land? Why is that happening?
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? I added my restaurant when
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I was when I was selling. People coming in the
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: last week. Oh my god, I heard you're selling. I
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: haven't been here in six months, Like, what's going on?
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: You haven't been here in six months. That's exactly what's
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: going on. I had people come in. Oh man, I
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: saw you post your food for a year. It looks
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: so good. I heard you were closing. I had to
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: come in and try it. Well, you've been watching me
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: for a year and you're only coming in now that
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: I'm closing. This is the reason. I mean, people will
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: bash something over and over and over again, but do
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: the complete opposite. They will do the complete.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Office, and they'll never sit in your shoes of being
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: a business.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I'll never sit in your shoes.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: And understanding all the bullshit.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: That goes into it.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: It's like when a headaches and the heartache and the
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: you know, the not only are you a business owner
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: worrying about paying your bills, but you have to hire people,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: you have to fire people, you have to deal with
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: all that shit.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: You can't say the wrong thing to somebody.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: You know, you can't go on social media, and you know,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: you probably couldn't do this podcast, you know, if you know,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: talk about some of the things we're talking about, if
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: you still had your restaurant.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, west Haven's brutal. I mean, look at Riva. West
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Haven won't complain about that. West Haven's a shithole. West
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Haven has nothing going on. West Haven has nothing to do.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: All the restaurants suck, and then Riva comes in and
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: spends millions of dollars on the property to build a
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: nice restaurant. Who's that for that's for the people of
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: West Haven. And then everyone complains that they're putting it
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: in there. It's like, what are we doing? What are
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: we doing?
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's there's the complaining society.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: I call it.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: That's all they want to do.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Everyone has something to say.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: They're so miserable in their own lives. They have no
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: they have nothing to look forward to, they have no
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: goals in life. Where they're at the point of their
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: life where they're just riding it out and.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: The outlet is complaining.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: It's complaining Garner's conversation with the person next to you,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: and then they're gonna complain. And then all of a sudden,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: you got a big complaint fest going on, and we
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: all complain. Don't get me wrong, I can plain at
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: work about certain things. But at the same time, you
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: got to learn to dial that back a little bit
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: and champion stuff and enjoy it and welcome it into
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: the community, into your life and.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Give it a chance.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: You don't have to go, right, No, you don't have
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: to go.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Why are you going to bash it?
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: And I see that all the time.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: It's all over Facebook. People are just constantly bashing thing.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: So a friend of mine's future wife went into Divine
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Bagels in Milford on it was like the Friday before
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Saint Patti's Day or whatever, it was right around Saint
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Patty's Day, and she wrote this scathing review on you
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: know you even live in Milford. I'll never go back
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: to the ladies. They fucking made me tip them, and
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I came up short and they had to speak to
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: a manager because I couldn't afford the tip. So on
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: face value reading a look, whyley forcing a tip on you?
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: But as you read into the comments, and some people
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: that work there, like hold on, hold on, this was
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: a special order of like fucking forty fucking green bagels. Okay,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: we put autobratuity on this kind of shit because it
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: fucking kills her kitchen for an hour. Yeah, building this
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: stuff and putting packaging it and all that stuff. And
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you know what, I just already in my head, I
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: could feel the poor girl behind the counter to deal
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: with all these people are running in and there green
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: shit on and I need my bagels and all that
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: fucking shit working around. Like you said, work in a
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: restaurant for fucking six months.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: You'll figure it out.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: You'll figure it out.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: And now they're just trying to bash the place. And
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: you know, some people obviously pileonion. They go to sandwich there,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: you know, God forbid.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: And they won't be the first one to speak.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: You could probably go back in my Facebook feed since
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: I started Facebook in two thousand and seven and find
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: me fucking saying something.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Bad about a restaurant. But I tell you what, I.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: Try not to unless it's I don't even think I
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: have there might be something I might have commented on,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: but just to like go out of your way to
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: go to a you know, you live in Milford site
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: that has who knows fifteen thousand followers that all live
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: in the local area because you had a bad experience
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: or maybe the girl had a bad day and literally
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: you ordered like fucking green bagels and you help. I'm sorry,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: my friend, but how how you can't cover fucking an
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: eight dollars tip? Yeah, I don't know, Like it's just
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: that one's got me going. And then they finally like
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: they took the post down and all this.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: I'm like, God, take it down, take it down.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: The fuck are you doing. I've been there twice once
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: I actually went there, went in, got a bagels, saying,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: which sat outside a nice spring day with a couple
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: of buddies of mine. We enjoyed it. The other one
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: was I went in, I took it out, I went
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: home and it was fine. I don't go there much.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not a supporter of Divine's Bagels. Yeah, but I
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: went there. Everything was fine, but I could see, you know,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: you might have a bad experience. Carvale's right next door,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: so you're like, all right, what do we do? Ice
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: cream and bagels just their matches right across the street,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: so you know, there's you know, Divine Bagels was really
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: just breakfast and I think an early lunch and they're closed.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: But I mean they were fine. I mean, I just
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big breakfast guy. I mean, but whatever,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just like guys, just go home
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: and you know, hug your kid, or pet your dog,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: take your dog for a walk. Like seriously, like, just
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: calm down. Did you get your bagels? Were you humiliated
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: by anybody? No, they said, now you know what, you
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: really didn't pay because I'm sure that was an auto gratuity.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: So let's say the bagels were forty dollars. The eight
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: bucks was put on and tax it was fifty bucks, right,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: so you only came in with forty thinking it was forty, Well,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: shame on you. You're online like.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Auto gratuities were really not a thing ten years ago.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: Auto gratuities have came in because of how people have acted. Honestly,
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just probably someone much smarter than you,
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: and I said, hey, why don't we just put it
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: on there?
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? And you know some of
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: these service chargers in Florida and New York are complete
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: bullshits exactly, But I mean, do we really have to
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: put an auto gratuity on for you? Do we really
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: need to do that? I mean yeah, because people don't
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: know how to treat customer service people. I mean, these
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: people are making six seven eight dollars an hour. They
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: live off of these tips. I mean obviously you and
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: I know that just as good as anyone else. And
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: we've said that at Stormage. We're like, why don't we
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: just tack eighteen percent on for late night? Because you
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: know how many times it fifty percent of the time
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: we're getting zero dollars and doing the work. But yeah,
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I agree, like I feel like I listen. I think
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: the tipping culture is getting a lot of control, Like
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: everywhere you go, everywhere they went, and I'm just the
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: guy that where was I? I with the Panera bread
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: for lunch with me and Bee went up the hill
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: and uh, dude, literally just do do do do doute
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: and flip the thing over and it's like, you know,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: it's actually it wasn't crazy. It'said one dollar dollars, three
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: dollars and I think our bill was like twenty two
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: dollars or something. Well, I'm like three is just hit,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Like fifteen, he's even a little less. Yeah, so I
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: custom it to five, just because that's who we are. Yeah,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: like boom and he doesn't make the food, he puts
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: it in and then they fucking. But I'm sure that
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: kind of tip is pooled throughout the employees. I would
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I would hope.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: Where does the line get drawn? Though? No? Another that's
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: another that's another huge thing because like someone comes over
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: moves furniture. I tipped furniture guys.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I tip movers.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: IP tipped movers.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I had three movers the last time. I gave him
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: fifty bucks each and they looked at me like it
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: was an asshole.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I, where is the line? I mean, I
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: It is a gas station attendant in New Jersey.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: I do, yeah, so do I I go.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, it's just it's just I guess
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: it's custom.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Sure, there's the gas station Rynex, Popados and West Tavan.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Really nice kid. He would come out all the time
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: to Popados right across the street. Every time I got gas.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: I would tip them every single time, and their gas
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: was kind of cheap. But after I tipped them, it
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: was the same prices everything else. So think about it.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Gas goes up like fifty cents, the whole country goes
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: in fucking panic mode. Fifty cents. The average tank is
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: thirteen to fourteen gallons. Yep, so we're talking about seven
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: dollars over two weeks if you don't drive that much. Yeah,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: so fifty cents a day it's costing you if the
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: gas goes up fifty cents? Are you fucking kidding me?
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Gas is such that's a hot topic. I don't understand why.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Like I understand why because it's easy. It's visual. You
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: see it every day when you drive and compare prices
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: and some people that I couldn't tell you what it
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: was fucking three months ago.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: I don't idea.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I roll up, I put the thing in, I fill it,
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: I pay, and I fucking leave, grab a monster and
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: a little bag of ritz bits crackers. I'm good to go.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: When was it like six six dollars?
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: It never was six dollars.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, A while ago it was like five
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: six bucks, like a while ago where it was like
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: insanely expensive, like a long time ago.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: A long time ago was probably what like the golf
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: for war. Maybe yeah, yeah, I don't I don't remember
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: it that high. I mean I remember it high fours
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: almost five. I don't remember it being six though, I
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: mean maybe it was. I again, I don't really pay
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: too much.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: I remember neither.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: I remember there was like times when you filled your
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: normal tank it was like fucking sixty seven dollars or something,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: which is you know it's up there, But again, is
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: it really I go to a bar and I buy
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: ten shots for my boys and it's fucking I'm spending
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty dollars. Yeah, and fucking what four minutes?
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: So I mean, but we're we're the kind of people
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: that we just spend and it's whatever it is, what
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: it is. We you know, easy, come, easy go.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Some people have budgets and they're tight and but I
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, it's fucking it is what it is.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you googling it, what do you got?
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: That's the problem. You don't have a producer for a show.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: Five dollars was an average in twenty twenty two.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, that was Biden years.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, some some some places were six dollars and
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: forty four cents in the state of Connecticut.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably the fucking fox with they get.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Still, it's probably gotta be thirteen.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Rolling out of fucking Moriguan. One morning, I'm like, oh,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: I got like forty bucks in my like my movie car.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I'll go get some gas, and it's like fucking seven dollars.
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: The worst is when you lose like one or two grand.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: You start your car and you got like five miles stamps.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: You're like, nice, I'm gonna get fucked again by them.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: This is perfect.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Oh man, all right, what else we got? We'll wrap
