- 0:57What do you think about anonymous sources?
- 1:00Like that breaking news?
- 1:02Yeah.
- 1:03Feels fake.
- 1:04I don't know what that was.
- 1:06I get sniped.
- 1:07Pew!
- 1:09Tell your truth.
- 1:13I mean, I understand why somebody would be anonymous
- 1:17if they were trying to whistleblow.
- 1:19Yeah.
- 1:19so
- 1:20it's hard because you have to like
- 1:23critically assess everything
- 1:26you are told
- 1:27yeah
- 1:28and it's
- 1:29I think that's hard to do especially when it's like
- 1:32people want there to be like
- 1:35like you might want something to be true
- 1:38right
- 1:39so it's like if someone confirms something that you want
- 1:41it's going to be like
- 1:42this is good information
- 1:44yeah
- 1:45I like it
- 1:46but I can see the opposite being true
- 1:48where it's like, if you don't believe something and someone says, you're like, yeah, okay,
- 1:50I want you anonymous, big guy.
- 1:52I'd be anonymous.
- 1:53Hiding behind your anonymity, huh?
- 1:54Yeah.
- 1:55Real convene.
- 1:57Yeah.
- 1:59Real convene.
- 2:00Yeah.
- 2:01So, yeah.
- 2:02But I also understand, because people do get killed.
- 2:05What?
- 2:05I get it, too.
- 2:06I don't even want to ever leave a review on Google for anything.
- 2:11I don't want people seeing my shit.
- 2:13we had a friend Joe found one of their reviews in the wild
- 2:19and it was just really funny to me
- 2:20he's reviewing something
- 2:24it wasn't even like I went to the review section
- 2:27it was the top review of this place
- 2:29that I had been to before
- 2:32I was just looking it up for directions
- 2:34and it was right there
- 2:36that's so startling to me
- 2:39you guys since you have my location
- 2:42you could probably see my profile and read all my reviews.
- 2:45I can't believe I haven't done this already.
- 2:47Oh, this sounds like.
- 2:50It's going to be a good night.
- 2:51Oh, because I know you're not leaving night.
- 2:54I know you're most of those reviews are probably torching.
- 2:56I try to be fair.
- 2:57I really do It not my fault that some that people make things look hard Oh I not sure I still do this I don remember but I used to have two accounts One was for good and one was for bad
- 3:09Oh, so you look magnanimous in one of them.
- 3:11Like a total asshole in the other.
- 3:13I just want my two identities separate.
- 3:16Right.
- 3:17Have you heard about these local reviewers in town?
- 3:21The twins. One of them is really nice and one of them is incredibly mean.
- 3:26get out of my way i'll make room
- 3:28statistically there has to be an evil and nice twin
- 3:34right or at least comparatively they're they're never going to be exactly equal morally
- 3:40unless they're trying to be in which case like why are you performing well then that's performative
- 3:44and then that is that's by default lowers their their vibration yeah yeah true just be yourselves
- 3:54twins.
- 3:57Yeah, you idiots.
- 3:58Don't even get me started on triplets.
- 4:01God,
- 4:02imagine giving birth to three children at once.
- 4:06I think they come out individually.
- 4:11It's not like all three of them go,
- 4:13we're here.
- 4:14In the mother's dead.
- 4:15Yeah.
- 4:15The explosion.
- 4:21Put that part out.
- 4:22leave it in that happens medical explosion look it up oh don't say that
- 4:30is there like a tragedy i don't know no it just sounds gross oh
- 4:34as opposed to all the other stuff we say yeah this this is the line and now improv
- 4:44oh uh it's you uh it's you again um hi welcome welcome to the restaurant uh i'm i'm really i saw
- 5:00your negative review i'm sorry i i didn't think that our uniforms were a shade of blue that
- 5:10shouldn't exist in nature and was an affront to God and man.
- 5:14I thought it was just,
- 5:16it was,
- 5:16I thought it was just regular Royal blue,
- 5:18but we've changed them since your review.
- 5:22I'm sorry.
- 5:23I'm really sorry.
- 5:24Hopefully,
- 5:25hopefully this we're,
- 5:27we're just gray now.
- 5:29Well,
- 5:29you're just lucky that no other restaurant in town was open tonight.
- 5:32Cause I didn't want to come back.
- 5:35Well,
- 5:35we're happy to have your service and please,
- 5:38I'm going to be honest with you.
- 5:40We're all scared of you and your reviews.
- 5:44We're worried about what you're going to say next.
- 5:46So if you have any issues, please let us address them in the moment.
- 5:52I don't want you.
- 5:53It looked like last time you were reviewing things literally as they happened.
- 5:57You had a string of like 14 reviews right in a row And each one was an individual complaint I have to say I flattered because you were paying so much attention to me Well one of your reviews said at the very end of it the last line was
- 6:11hang on, I gotta go pee.
- 6:13And then the next review was, okay, I'm back.
- 6:16They served my lobster while I was in the bathroom.
- 6:20One star.
- 6:21A lobster that, quote, had it tasted itself,
- 6:25would have come back to life and committed suicide.
- 6:28Unquote.
- 6:29I don't think that that's fair.
- 6:31I don't think that that's really true.
- 6:33We win awards for our lobster.
- 6:34We trap them ourselves.
- 6:37Table for one.
- 6:39Right.
- 6:39How about this?
- 6:40You pick the table.
- 6:43I want you to pick the best table that we have.
- 6:46I want you to have it.
- 6:47I want you to have a great...
- 6:49Of course.
- 6:49Of course.
- 6:49Just make a quick note for later.
- 6:51Okay.
- 6:52Indecisive staff leaves administrative tasks to the clientele.
- 6:56No, no.
- 6:57I was just trying to make you happy.
- 6:58You're fine. I'll choose a table. I'll choose a table for you.
- 7:00Here you go.
- 7:01Ambivalency knows no bounds.
- 7:04Take me to the seat.
- 7:05Here we go.
- 7:06This is, I set you up.
- 7:09It's half booth, half table.
- 7:11So you can choose either side.
- 7:13Can't even commit to a single kind of seated arrangement.
- 7:17What sort of Jekyll and Hyde nonsense does this restaurant operate under?
- 7:21I ask you.
- 7:23I'm sorry. Okay, fine.
- 7:25Does it bother you that I'm saying this out loud?
- 7:26Well, no, I mean, I guess I need to get ahead of it.
- 7:30I'd rather hear it while it's happening.
- 7:32I'll take the booth.
- 7:34Okay, there you go.
- 7:35It's nice.
- 7:36Put the napkin in my lap.
- 7:39Oh, touched me.
- 7:42I'm sorry.
- 7:44Sorry, that was an accident.
- 7:46I'm really sorry.
- 7:46I'm going to choose to believe you.
- 7:48I'd like a drink menu and a food menu.
- 7:50Oh, of course.
- 7:51Right here.
- 7:52Drink menu, food menu.
- 7:54Hmm.
- 7:54Do you hand all of your customers the menu upside down?
- 7:57Oh, my goodness.
- 7:58I'm so sorry.
- 7:59I'm so sorry.
- 8:00Are you making fun of me because you know, as a child, I was dyslexic?
- 8:03No.
- 8:04How would I know that?
- 8:05No, I choose to believe you.
- 8:07Thank you.
- 8:08Thank you so much.
- 8:09Now, may I tell you about our specials?
- 8:12Yes.
- 8:12Okay.
- 8:14For an appetizer, we have grilled artichoke hearts that are lightly dressed with tips of asparagus.
- 8:23Hold on one second.
- 8:24I gotta check your menu.
- 8:26Didn't realize I was at Yard House.
- 8:28What?
- 8:28No, this is a...
- 8:29If I wanted a grilled artichoke, that's where I would have gone.
- 8:33No, no, no.
- 8:33This is a signature dish for our chef in the back.
- 8:37All right.
- 8:37Break me off one.
- 8:39All right.
- 8:40Okay, great.
- 8:40One appetizer special.
- 8:42And our feature tonight is a little beef bourguignon.
- 8:47It's done in a traditional French manner.
- 8:51No?
- 8:51Stop.
- 8:52What?
- 8:54What I going to do is provide you with a link to a website that helps English speakers with French accents because that frankly was appalling It was tr d No no my mother was French That how she would pronounce it Beef bourguignon
- 9:13Your mama was an imposture.
- 9:16I am sorry to tell you.
- 9:18No French woman would ever say...
- 9:20Say it again.
- 9:21Beef bourguignon.
- 9:22Dear God.
- 9:23What?
- 9:24That's how she said it.
- 9:24I don't know what to tell you.
- 9:25She's from...
- 9:27She's from France.
- 9:28She's from Nice.
- 9:30No more about your Polish mother.
- 9:31Go on.
- 9:32All right.
- 9:34And then our featured wine tonight is a Barolo.
- 9:39It pairs beautifully with the beef bourguignon.
- 9:42How am I supposed to say it?
- 9:43Tell me.
- 9:44Did you say Barolo?
- 9:45Yeah, Barolo.
- 9:46Yes.
- 9:46All right.
- 9:47Yeah.
- 9:48We'll have water.
- 9:50Okay.
- 9:51Water it is.
- 9:53Here you go.
- 9:54Here you go.
- 9:56Ice water for you.
- 9:58Is that what I said?
- 9:59You said water?
- 10:00I got to write something down.
- 10:01freely dispenses ice
- 10:04as though they were the Atlantic Ocean
- 10:06and I were a thirsty Titanic.
- 10:09Do you like that?
- 10:10It's poetic,
- 10:12but please don't write that about us.
- 10:14Please don't write that about us.
- 10:15It's a good line.
- 10:16I'm going to have to think about it.
- 10:18Bring me a dessert.
- 10:20Redeem yourself.
- 10:21Starting with dessert.
- 10:22Sure.
- 10:23Okay.
- 10:23Yeah.
- 10:24Here we go.
- 10:25I'll be right back.
- 10:26Just let me grab it.
- 10:28You can entertain yourself while I'm gone.
- 10:32Okay.
- 10:33Let me just make a couple of quick notes as I look around.
- 10:35This fucking hell hole, tear down, hole in the wall.
- 10:42And I'm back.
- 10:43Oh.
- 10:44Death by chocolate.
- 10:47It's a flourless chocolate cake with raspberries on top of it.
- 10:52Go on.
- 10:54And that's it.
- 10:58if you fancy yourself an evening where you don't have to think about the human condition,
- 11:04may I not recommend this establishment?
- 11:07Because though my mother just recently died and I didn't want to think about death,
- 11:12they deigned to bring me a dessert called, basically,
- 11:19your mother's dead. Here's chocolate.
- 11:22Try it.
- 11:24Try the death by chocolate.
- 11:26Why the hell not?
- 11:28Last time I'm coming here, one-star bullshit-ass restaurant.
- 11:33Yeah, that's right.
- 11:34It is the last time you're coming here.
- 11:37That's right.
- 11:38Would you taste our special ingredient in that cake?
- 11:41No.
- 11:41It's something.
- 11:43Yeah.
- 11:43It's the chef's special poison.
- 11:45No.
- 11:46Why?
- 11:48Death by chocolate.
- 11:49No.
- 11:50Oh, my God.
- 11:51Wait.
- 11:52My lights are going out.
- 11:53One last thing.
- 11:55The staff is ugly.
- 11:58Fuck you.
- 12:00Scene.
