00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.120
K f I A M six.
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on

2
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.160
demand on the iHeartRadio app. I
want to try this again, Robin.

3
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:15.880
There is no business like show business. There you now, I'm happy.

4
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:18.960
Now you're alive to me again,
Robin. It was it was touch and

5
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:25.000
go. You're alive to me one
more time. Luke Skywalker is being recruited

6
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:33.000
to help control traffic. Hold on, Mark, don't beat me to the

7
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.240
punchline on this. Malibu is turning
to one of its most beloved residents,

8
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:43.799
according to KTLA, star Wars actor
Mark Hamill, and its latest effort to

9
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:48.880
curb crashes and fatalities on the Pacific
Coast Highway. The city is launching a

10
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:55.600
pr blitz dubbed Cruise Malibu Surf sand
Slow, which, as the name applies,

11
00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:02.079
urges drivers to slow down. The
campaign involves a new television commercial starring

12
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:07.560
Hammel and a theme song performed by
the Kenny Loggins Band. There's license plate

13
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:12.000
frames and stickers. How many people? And I don't know, maybe we'll

14
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.200
work in Malibu, maybe it's different, But I just wonder how many people

15
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.159
are going to put a license plate
frame on their car that says surf Sam

16
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.719
slow? Am I wrong on that? Am I wrong to assume that people

17
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.879
are not going to get the license
plate frames. I'm in the minority because

18
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.760
I would. I don't live in
Malibu, but I would because I've got

19
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.359
a dealer frame in my car right
now. They're not paying me to advertise

20
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.439
for them. I just assume put
the slow down thing. But I'm also

21
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.200
a curmudgeon who hates when people speed. Yeah, I'm the guy you're flipping

22
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.480
off for going the speed limit on
the freeway. It's me. Sorry.

23
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.480
So anyway, They've got Mark Hamill
involved in this, and I threw this

24
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.159
in with our Hollywood News because you
know celebrity. Okay, go ahead,

25
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.959
Mark, give the punchline. I
don't have it. Everybody loves Mark Hamil.

26
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.799
I would never gainsay a master of
the force. Use the brakes,

27
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.560
Luke. Oh god, come on, I think Robin's a little slow on

28
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.039
the rim shot tonight too. Oh
that one was just that was just hanging

29
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.960
out. Now you just get a
shrug out of her for that. Nothing,

30
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:23.439
not a thing. I'm a fan
of the Bear. I haven't watched

31
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.719
the new season yet because I haven't
had time to sit down and power watch

32
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.199
it. I'm looking forward to it. I will tell you this when it

33
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.039
comes to The Bear. Uh is
it? I was watching it on Hulu?

34
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.319
Is it on FX? I see
it on Hulu as well. Okay,

35
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.479
when I watched The Bear, I've
watched it. First of all,

36
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.039
it's not it's in the comedy category
whenever it comes up for the awards and

37
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:47.560
whatnot, And I hate that because
it's not a comedy. It's a drama.

38
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.039
Well maybe it's a dramedy. Yeah, listen, I don't laugh.

39
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.400
I mean, if you're gonna call
it a comedy would definitely be very eyebrow.

40
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.560
I guess that you'd have to sort
of look for the irony or something

41
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:05.400
of that sort. But really it's
a drama and the oh, it's not

42
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.560
criticism, it's actually it's kind of
a backhanded compliment. The very first time

43
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.960
I watched The Bear, the pilot
episode, I watched it and I got

44
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:19.919
done and I had to watch something
else. I was exhausted. Yeah exactly,

45
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:24.120
Yeah, yeah, I mean that
as the highest compliment because they pulled

46
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.919
me right back into the kitchen like
I was eighteen, working at a restaurant

47
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.919
in the summer again, and it
was so stressful to watch. I related

48
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.120
with those characters. I related with
the whole thing so closely that I just

49
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.039
found myself getting stressed out when I
watched The Bear. I get stressed.

50
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:49.919
I get so more than most shows. I just find myself exhausted after watching

51
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.000
it. So I haven't had time
to sit down, and because I've been

52
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.080
doing the night show this week,
so I haven't had time to sit down,

53
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.960
and really, you know, start
watching at least one episode at a

54
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.520
time. If an episode is not
too stressful, I can watch a couple.

55
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.599
All I know is that when I
got done, I think the restaurant

56
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.840
was no the restaurant was on fire
in the first season. I think I

57
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.639
don't know, he was stuck in
a cooler or something when I the last

58
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.919
time I saw him. So I
can't wait to see that. I did

59
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.279
want to bring this up because I
heard you make mention of it earlier.

60
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:24.879
Mark, you said a quiet place
Day one is doing really well. Does

61
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:30.079
that mean it's doing well on day
one or that's it? Mads. Is

62
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.800
this a prequel? It's the prequel. It's the third film in the series,

63
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.079
but it's a prequel. It's an
origin story. It made seven million

64
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.519
bucks in Thursday previews, and they
figured it could make up to fifty million

65
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.079
this weekend in theaters. That's pretty
good considering what we've seen in the box

66
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.480
office so far this year, right, I mean we've had some we've had

67
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.319
some openers that have been kind of
bummers. Yeah, it's it's taken a

68
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:54.639
lot to get people off their I
mean out of their houses to go to

69
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.879
a theater. Yeah. Yeah,
I want to see that, and I

70
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.439
also want to see I don't if
you do the Kevin Costner Horizon film.

71
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.680
Both of those look pretty entertaining.
Is that the one that he funded?

72
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.439
It is? And I want to
support that because that takes some nerve.

73
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.560
Yeah, so the guy stops doing
If I remember this correctly and feel free

74
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.480
to jump in, Mark, the
guy said I'm out for Yellowstone because he

75
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:23.439
wanted to focus on his own Western
epic. Basically, he wants to make

76
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:29.000
how many films are the three five? I think it's four, okay,

77
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.920
whatever it is. So he was
dropping thirty million of his own money or

78
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.720
something like that. I love that
he's saying, I'm all in. I

79
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.279
believe in myself, I believe in
my vision, and this is what I

80
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.160
want to spend my money on.
That's awesome. I applaud him. It's

81
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.680
so great. Yeah, I admire
that. And it's the same thing that

82
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.879
Coppola is doing with his Megalopolis movie. He put his own his butt on

83
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:56.160
the line. Nice. Yeah,
I love it. I love it.

84
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.800
I'm with you. I want to
support it. And let's face it,

85
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:06.160
Cosner's good at westerns. He's I
mean, he's good at westerns. Whether

86
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.800
you like him or don't like him. I mean his westerns have been Yellowstone

87
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:15.959
Great Dances with Wolves, no doubt
that man directed the heck out of that.

88
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.040
I mean, was the one thing
you got to be worn for it.

89
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.120
So look, guy knows how to
do westerns. So I'm kind of

90
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.759
looking forward to that this quiet place, though, let's get back to this

91
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:30.560
for a moment as we talk about
the Hollywood news here, I don't know

92
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.120
if I want an origin story for
this. Is that bad to say?

93
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:40.399
Because one of the things that I
thought made the first one a little eerie

94
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.720
for me as an audience members and
I didn't know why. And now normally

95
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.759
you wouldn't want to keep your audience
in the dark on something that is kind

96
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.600
of the main point, But it
worked that very first quiet place. It

97
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.319
worked. We just knew that they
were being hunted. We didn't know what

98
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.160
it was, and then we were
tipped off that if they made any noise,

99
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.360
that was it. Again, we
didn't really know why, we just

100
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:06.319
were It was a story of survival. The circumstances around that were secondary to

101
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:12.040
the human condition that we were witnessing
on the screen, based on the environment

102
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.040
that they were in. I don't
know that I necessarily want to see the

103
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:20.680
origin story. However, we'll say
this qualifying this, I suppose, because

104
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:25.879
I don't want to back myself into
a corner. If it's good, I'm

105
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.560
all for it. Sure, Sure, But I think you're really hitting on

106
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.360
one of the dumbest trends in Hollywood
right now, which is making a full

107
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:39.360
movie and filling out every reference in
every franchise and ruining the mystique of things

108
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.759
that are just mentioned. Yeah.
Right. The poster child of this,

109
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.639
to me was the terrible Solo movie
that gives you a pon Solo's origin and

110
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:53.920
completely makes it ordinary and dull.
But we're getting a lot of that in

111
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:58.240
a lot of different franchises. It's
funny you went with Star Wars because I

112
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.600
think that if you are Gen X
and older, the Star Wars original trilogy

113
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.480
was fine. It didn't need the
prequels, it didn't need the sequels.

114
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.720
It was fine, don't touch it. And obviously that first prequel comes out

115
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.560
and everybody's like, what the world
was this? Jar jar binks nonsense?

116
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.040
And I know there were books.
I get all that stuff, right,

117
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.839
But for those of us that only
saw the films, we didn't need the

118
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.279
other stuff to fill it out.
And then, as you pointed out,

119
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.319
they had to go back and do
the solo part of the what they call

120
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.759
that a Star Wars saga. I
mean there was another Star Wars reference to

121
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.480
it, right, Yeah, there
were a couple of movies in there that

122
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.720
were sold as US Star Wars saga
or something like that, when they weren't

123
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:39.200
part of the continuity of the what
the original nine I guess there are right

124
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.159
now? Yeah, the original nine. But I like the original three episodes,

125
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.200
four, five, and six.
What's the Boba Fet one? I

126
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.399
haven't I haven't seen any of that. Oh, the Book of Boba Fet.

127
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.960
That's a mini series. So people
love it. It's not as good

128
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.679
as the Mandalorian. I mean,
if you're a Star Wars net, you're

129
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.879
gonna want to see it just because
it's part of that. But it's not

130
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.720
that great. But the Mandalorian can't. It is different than the Boba Fett

131
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.519
book. The Mandalorian is much better, much better. But that's a mini

132
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.600
series too, writer or some sort
of a series. Well, it's ongoing.

133
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.559
I think it's what it's said,
two or three seasons, and it's

134
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.799
just terrifically well. The Baby Yoda
one is the Mandalorian. And what's great

135
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.480
about that is that they're kind of
written like spaghetti westerns, and the Mandalorian

136
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.519
is kind of like your Man with
No Name, the quiet, laconic gunslinger

137
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.200
with with more nerve than anyone alive. They're really good. They're well made.

138
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.559
Okay, all right, So see
that's what this is why I had

139
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.559
to qualify it, like if it's
good, I mean, but I mean,

140
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:41.440
I think we agree. Not all
of them are. No, that's

141
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.799
that's a little rough for me,
a little rough, all right. From

142
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:52.000
our show business news to food,
glorious food. It's been a long time

143
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.320
since I've been able to say there's
good news on the food front. There

144
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.600
is good news on the food front. Especially for US fatties. Next,

145
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:05.440
you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.

146
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.360
Don't forget you grab our podcast for
the entire show, including incredible analysis the

147
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.120
day after of why Joe Biden should
not drop out of the race. If

148
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.039
you're a Democrat and you hope he
does. If you're a Republican even though

149
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.200
some are saying no, that is
going to be on today's podcast to be

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.519
able to grab that after the show. Also, I do a show on

151
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.399
Sundays and he grab that on the
featured podcasts as well. Thanks a lot

152
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.440
for give it a listen. I
have good news around food, glorious food.

153
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.799
Let's face it, we all got
to eat right. Oh, it's

154
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.679
been a long time since we've had
good news. Oh, prices are going

155
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.200
up. They're going crazy now.
By now, I'm sure that you've heard

156
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.320
about the price wars. All of
a sudden, the fast food places,

157
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.559
especially McDonald's gouse. A lot of
people are complaining about our prices. So

158
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.080
we thought we'd better do something.
Do you think, So, let's face

159
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.480
it, here's what's going on.
We've seen the prices. McDonald's is the

160
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.480
worst offender their average. Many prices
went up one hundred percent in the last

161
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.759
ten years. Inflation's gone up thirty
percent since twenty fourteen, they've gone up

162
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.159
almost three times as fast. And
so what they were doing is they were

163
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.000
testing to see where the tipping point
was, Where is the point where our

164
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.919
customers will not pay it. We
know that if the price goes up a

165
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.840
little bit, some customers will fall
off. But will the customers that fall

166
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.320
off, will you lose money?
Right? So you raise it a little

167
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.039
bit more and a few more customers
fall off, but you still are selling

168
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.919
billions and billions served. And he
raise it a little bit more and a

169
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.279
few more customers fall off. At
what point, where's the tipping point where

170
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:50.919
you lose so many customers? Now
you've raised the price too high? Right?

171
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.960
This is part of figuring out their
supply and demand equation. Well,

172
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.759
one thing we know in today's society
is that it takes a little time.

173
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.759
So while they may be raising prices
and some people are paying for it,

174
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.559
eventually we start to note notice the
first time, but then we start to

175
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.600
notice. We start going through the
drive through and we went, wait a

176
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.799
minute, I got a number one. That's a big mac meal, Right,

177
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.159
what'd you get? I'll get the
quarter pounder and cheese. Why is

178
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:24.120
there bill twenty five dollars for two
meals a McDonald's. And then what do

179
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.559
they do? They don't just stop
going new new new new new, new

180
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.799
new new new. They start rolling
the camera on their phones and they say

181
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.799
twenty five dollars for a big mac
and a quarter pounder and cheese and McDonald's

182
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.200
And they say, this is crazy. Is anybody else saying this? Click

183
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.639
the lily blow and subscribe to my
TikTok And then they all were like,

184
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:54.679
let's TikTok this out and let's hashtag
it fast food rip off and starts to

185
00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:00.159
go viral. And then things start
to spiral very quickly. So all the

186
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.519
fast food places got caught up in
some news stories as things started to go

187
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.679
viral, and then they all went, oh, we got a problem.

188
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.879
And then what happens is they all
try to overcorrect and they start competing with

189
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.000
discount meals. Yes, we are
into the back to the competition of value

190
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:22.519
menu phase. Granted it's not real
good, it's not great. The McDonald's

191
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.399
value value meal is basically a happy
meal. You can have something that used

192
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.080
to be on the dollar menu,
and they're all now three dollars, which

193
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.120
is like a McChicken or mcdouble.
You get a small fry and a small

194
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.399
drink for five dollars. Listen,
let's I get a hamburglar bibblehead to go

195
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.240
with that. It's not worth it, but I'll tell you what is worth

196
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.639
it. Taco Bell. Cool.
Taco Bell used to have a five dollar

197
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.080
box and it was good. Prices
started going up and I think the last

198
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.000
time only threw it was like nine
dollars. It's crazy. So Taco Bell

199
00:13:54.080 --> 00:14:00.960
actually came out with the five dollars
Discovery Box that ran last month April and

200
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.240
May, and that was a crunchy
taco, Dorito's, Locos, Taco Cantina,

201
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.759
Chicken, crispy taco in a medium
drink that was five dollars. Good

202
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.000
Taco Bell leading the charge. Remember
when you go fill up at Taco Bell

203
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.240
and it costs you like three bucks, it was great. They're finally getting

204
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.840
back to that. Now they've come
out with a seven dollars bucks. But

205
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.879
I'm in for this. I know
it's more than your small fry small drink

206
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.320
at McDonald's, but I'm in for
this, and here's why McDonald's is part

207
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.279
of their value menu war that all
the fast food places are doing now.

208
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:41.080
For seven bucks, Shiloupa Supreme five
layer burrito, a double stack taco and

209
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:50.039
chips and nacho cheese sauce. Grand
total one four hundred calories for seven dollars.

210
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:56.600
Yeah, that's enough calories for most
of the day, all in one

211
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.519
city. Listen, you don't have
to loosen up your belt by not eating

212
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:05.720
Taco Bell like this. You do
this because you're an American eating Mexican food

213
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.879
that you will not find in Mexico. God bless America, and thank god

214
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:15.200
we're finally getting back to our senses
and we're bringing down the cost of American

215
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:20.559
Mexican food. Don't call it Mexican
American food. That implies that Mexicans endorsed

216
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.559
Taco Bell. Don't do that.
I endorse Taco Bell not actually they don't

217
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.440
pay me, but I like it. I'm one hundred percent. You know.

218
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.519
Now the bad news. You are
familiar with another restaurant that is uh,

219
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.720
you can easily throw two thousand calories
on in one sitting. It's known

220
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:45.240
as the Olive Garden, which,
as any Italian will tell you is authentic

221
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.200
Italian food. If you take an
Italian person to the Olive Guard and they

222
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.639
will say show but uh uh more
perfect. I don't know Italian at all.

223
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.600
At some point they will tell you
just how how much it is,

224
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.559
exactly like mamma's cooking back home.
That's what the Italians will say about Olive

225
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:11.600
Garden. I've never met one that
would say otherwise. So anyway, Olive

226
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:17.279
Garden is running into a little bit
of a sales slump. So while you've

227
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.600
got the fast food places the low
end that are getting into a price war,

228
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:26.200
evident least some of those mid range
restaurants not doing so swell. Olive

229
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.519
Garden says they're going to raise prices
because they had a drop in sales last

230
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.399
quarter. So see they're finding the
tipping point, but it's the math is

231
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.720
not working out for them. So
now they're saying, we're going to have

232
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.519
to shed some of our customers,
so we're not going to come in because

233
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:42.919
things are getting more expensive, but
we're hoping we can make up for it

234
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:48.120
by those that continue to come in. And it's not just Olive Guard Garden

235
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:53.720
restaurants owns Olive Garden. They also
own Longhorn Steakhouse, Yardhouse, Ruths Chris,

236
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:57.720
which is very difficult for me to
say for some reason, Ruths Chris,

237
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:03.359
Ruths Chris Steakhouse, Cheddars, Scratch
Kitchen. I've been to that,

238
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:07.799
the Capitol Grill, have been to
that season's fifty two fresh grill, codmit

239
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.720
to that, Eddie V's Prime Seafood
drove by one once, and a Bahama

240
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.839
Breeze Island Grill I think the cname
of a drink I had. Anyway,

241
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.480
I think they say that they're going
to raise prices two to three percent company

242
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.440
wide over the next year. Olive
Garden has already seen a one percent increase

243
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.960
in menu prices, and now they
say they're going to see a one to

244
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:33.000
two percent growth in sales they expect
next year. Honestly, do you notice

245
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.160
a one percent growth in price?
I don't think you. Do you notice

246
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.240
two or three percent year over year? Probably not, because that's basically what

247
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.359
our rate of inflation is right now. So I don't know how much you

248
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.400
notice that. What you do notice, and this is where I get hunt

249
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.799
up. I notice when they bring
the bill and if I went to Olive

250
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:59.519
Garden with my wife before and accepting
wine like no wine boll You know,

251
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.799
Let's say our bill was forty five
bucks. They we've got an advertiser,

252
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.759
and let's say it's forty five dollars
between the two of us. And then

253
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:10.599
they bring the bill out the next
time and it's fifty two dollars. That's

254
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:12.960
when I start to notice it's not
what I'm looking at the menu price.

255
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.720
It's after the fact that I start
to notice it feels like it was more

256
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.599
than last time. So I don't
think i'd noticed one or two early on,

257
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:27.359
but I probably would after they get
to that two or three percent when

258
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.400
the bill comes. I'm a little
late to the game. It's the wait

259
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.640
works, all right. I've told
you before if you were listening earlier in

260
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:40.640
the program. I set up today's
show specifically because of my friend Mark Ronner,

261
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.079
and so I've got a segment for
him that is right in his wheelhouse.

262
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:51.200
We'll talk sports next. You're listening
to Later with Moe Kelly on demand

263
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:53.519
from KFI AM six forty. All
right, Mark, this is for you.

264
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:56.240
I know how much you like talking
about sports. What did I ever

265
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:02.359
do to you? How about the
only real sports story? The rest of

266
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:03.759
it. I think you're actually gonna
dig. The only real sports story I

267
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.559
have is this Bronni James going to
the Lakers. It was a story yesterday.

268
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.839
I know that, but we kind
of have the debate going on yesterday.

269
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.319
So there you know. Lebron's gonna
play with his kid. That'll be

270
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:18.400
nice. Great. He used up
a second round draft pick on him.

271
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.200
They have a coach that's never coached
in the NBA before, perfectly capable,

272
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.359
but inexperienced. And I don't have
a whole lot of hope for the Lakers

273
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.480
this year. I would love it
if they surprised me. It's heartwarming.

274
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.920
You and your dad have trucks together, and they have the NBA together.

275
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.519
Yeah. He's got the new one, it's only seven years old, and

276
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.279
I've got the old one. Yeah, so that's it. Yeah. Anyway,

277
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.559
I hope they do really well.
I think it'll be a great story.

278
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.920
Should sell some tickets because of it. But beyond that, I got

279
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.880
to tell you, I think that
the what do they call that? That

280
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.799
the burn time on this is gonna
be pretty short. Before all of a

281
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.880
sudden, we're like, okay,
enough of that, all right, here

282
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.720
there you go. I'm gonna say
the words NFL, but I'm not going

283
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:06.240
to talk about any of the players. In fact, Ronner, I would

284
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.920
even say, this is an entertainment
story, but I already had an entertainment

285
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.680
story, so I threw it into
a sports story. So the NFL lost

286
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:17.160
a big lawsuit. Now maybe you
heard about this again, happened yesterday.

287
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.079
There were some other things going on. The NFL lost this massive lawsuit.

288
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.799
And on the face of it,
it looks like the NFL lost a lawsuit

289
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.160
worth almost five billion dollars four point
eight billion in a judgment against them,

290
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.400
But it could be way more than
that. And here's why. They were

291
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:42.279
basically found guilty of colluding with Direct
TV according to the report, and this

292
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.599
was in the La Times, but
here it is. It took nearly a

293
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.240
decade for the case to want to
wind its way through the legal system,

294
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:55.640
beginning in twenty fifteen when a pubet
in San Francisco called the Mucky Duck.

295
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.400
Fuck the mucky Duck. That sounds
like something that autocompletes responsible for exactly what

296
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.599
I was thinking. Yep, that's
exactly where I was going with it.

297
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:11.640
See this is you and I are
simpatico. My friend anyway, the Mucky

298
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.359
Duck, if that's their real name, file to complain about the hand about

299
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.920
how the NFL handles its out of
market broadcast. It's a class action suit

300
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:22.960
filed on behalf of more than two
and a half a two point four million

301
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.599
residential subscribers, so almost two and
a half nine and almost fifty thousand restaurants,

302
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:32.400
bars, and other commercial establishments that
show the NFL. It's centered on

303
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:36.400
the Sunday ticket package, which is
now on YouTube. It used to be

304
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:41.160
on direct TV. So that allows
you to see all the games, except

305
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.319
I think for your in market games. You can see all the out of

306
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.640
market games. But if if the
Rams are playing in town and it's on

307
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.480
CBS or Fox or what I guess
would be Fox, you wouldn't be able

308
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.440
to watch that. If the Chargers
are in town to be on CBS,

309
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:56.799
you wouldn't be able to watch that. But all the out of market games

310
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.039
you would be able to watch,
all right, So what they did is

311
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.519
they said, wait a minute,
we're paying for a premium product, but

312
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:10.880
it's not a premium product. It's
the same exact broadcast that you have going

313
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.400
somewhere else. So if the Rams
were playing the Bears in Chicago, and

314
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.039
they want to show the Bears game
the Rams game, right, they got

315
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.759
to pay for this Sunday ticket,
which is about four hundred and fifty bucks.

316
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.039
Now, granted, your local station
might be showing the Rams anyway,

317
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.279
so maybe that's a maybe that's a
mischaracterization. Let's say that Mark wanted to

318
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:34.880
watch his Seahawks play the Bears,
okay rematch of a Super Bowl about almost

319
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.119
twenty years ago. So let's say
he wanted to watch the Seahawks play the

320
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.000
Bears, but he's living in Los
Angeles and he goes, wait a minute,

321
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.240
if I lived in Seattle, I
can watch this for free on the

322
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.720
over the air broadcast. Why do
I have to pay four hundred and fifty

323
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.119
dollars for it? And the NFL
says, well, listen, we give

324
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.119
it away free up there, but
this is special because you're elsewhere and you

325
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.000
got to be here. And what
the jury decided is that the NFL,

326
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.400
yeah, maybe you can charge for
out of market games, but the amount

327
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.480
you were charging was exorbitant. It
was out of control, it was too

328
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:11.400
much, and so this fell under
an anti trust case. They said this

329
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.880
was collusion. This has to do
with the NFL and that broadcast partner.

330
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:21.079
Nobody else was involved, There was
no other competition going on. This is

331
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.799
its collusion, bad deal. The
NFL, of course disagrees and want to

332
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:29.000
appeal. Blah blah blah. Now
I mentioned that the lawsuit, the jury

333
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:34.400
said four point eight billion dollars.
And if there is a league that can

334
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.559
handle four point eight billion dollars,
it's this one. I mean, this

335
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.559
league is doing quite well for itself, but it could be a whole lot

336
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:48.640
more because in federal laws, under
anti trust cases, they could be liable

337
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:56.680
up to fourteen point one billion dollars
because some of the federal laws triple the

338
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.160
amount one when it's an anti trust
case. Even though the jury said four

339
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:06.680
point eight billion, just by the
mere fact that it is in an anti

340
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:11.160
trust case that falls under this purview, it triples the price. Now,

341
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.640
listen, I expect there's probably gonna
be some lobbyists that are going to try

342
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.720
to change this and then not so
this in future, and the Supreme Court

343
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.920
will be like, oh groovy to
us, do it, But for right

344
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.680
now, fourteen billion dollars. Now, I don't care who you are.

345
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:26.519
I don't care if you are the
NFL, and you're raking in the dough.

346
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:29.960
Fourteen billion is going to hurt the
bottom line. I don't care if

347
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.880
you're exon. If you take fourteen
billion out of the profits one year,

348
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.839
that's gonna hurt. And finally,
how about a win for the little guy?

349
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:42.119
Again sports related, but this is
really more about business. The La

350
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:47.279
City Council's effort to crack down on
the brok ring of tee time reservations on

351
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:52.640
municipal courses. The County Board of
Supervisors takes similar steps this week to require

352
00:24:52.839 --> 00:25:00.720
non refundable reservation deposits and charging cancelation
fees. So what's happening uni course near

353
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:04.359
you? You want to go golfing? You pull up the website that allows

354
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.720
you to reserve your tea time,
already been reserved, nothing's available, and

355
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:12.000
you go, man, I never
remember this course being that popular. Why

356
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:18.839
is everything gone all of a sudden. What's happening is there are tee time

357
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:23.920
brokers that are just simply going in
and reserving every tea time. They're going

358
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.920
in and they're snagging them up.
We'll get every tea time. And then

359
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.799
they start their own website that says, do you want to play on this

360
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:37.599
muni course, you could play.
We've got a tea time open at seven

361
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:45.319
eighteen am and they want to cut, so they're gonna you're you're getting the

362
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:47.480
tea time. The tea time is
going to cost you when you go there,

363
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.559
and you got to pay. You
got to pay the fees to golf

364
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.319
anyway, but now you have to
pay somebody else because they reserve the tea

365
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:59.759
time. And the municipal courses,
by definition, are being run by the

366
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:03.640
same the county, whatever it is, is being run by a local government

367
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.759
entity because it's supposed to be available
for anybody that wants to do it and

368
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.039
pay the fees. So not only
are their greens fees like you normally have

369
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.319
to pay when you go golfing,
now you have to pay some reservation broker.

370
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:22.079
And I have to tell you there
are obviously the reservation brokers are saying,

371
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:27.000
oh, this is bad for us, but also to the golfers.

372
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:32.319
I hope that for those of you
that are at businesses that like to buy

373
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:37.680
things up and resell them, you
recognize the irony. If you were working

374
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:45.000
for ticketmaster or a ticket scalper,
a ticket resler, that's a legitimate American

375
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.400
business. Yeah, we bought up
all the Taylor Swift tickets and now we're

376
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:57.400
reselling them on seat geek or to
find your bleacher dot com or cushion yourtushion

377
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:02.839
dot com. If you want to
see Taylor Swift, We've got your tickets

378
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.680
right here, face value two hundred
and twenty five dollars now yours for just

379
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:12.039
thirty two hundred. That's considered legitimate
business. But when you do it to

380
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:15.799
the Muni course, all of a
sudden, the same people that are doing

381
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.359
it in resales to everyone else are
like, all right, that's unfair.

382
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.799
Wait a minute, We're not supposed
to be the victims of our own system.

383
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.920
That's not how we set it up. Yeah, there is distinct irony

384
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:33.960
going on when it comes to the
whole golfers having to go through a ticket

385
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:38.519
broker and screaming foul. Who I
feel bad for is the working class people

386
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:44.079
who like to go golfing on the
weekend are not participating in these sorts of

387
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.400
businesses, and all of a sudden
can't because they just got priced out by

388
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.920
a ticket broker who ironically is selling
it to somebody who can't afford it,

389
00:27:53.359 --> 00:28:00.240
likely because they're in the markup business
in some other aspect of commerce. So

390
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:04.319
anyway, thanks to the La City
Council, Thanks to the Board of Supervisors,

391
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:11.440
Thanks for cracking down on people taking
advantage of people. Gotta do it

392
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:17.759
man, all right, how about
punch clock buddies? You've heard of work

393
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:23.119
wives? What about work BFFs.
If you don't have one, buddy up

394
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:26.559
quick, you don't want to be
the last one standing. That's next.

395
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:33.039
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI Am six forty.

396
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.279
There's always a pleasure being with you
and a pleasure being in for mo Kelly

397
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.799
this week listen to Anytime on demand
of the iHeartRadio app. Oh man,

398
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:47.680
what a week listen. We had
debates, we had Supreme Court things,

399
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:52.279
we had of course, then life
going on. The busiest traffic season we've

400
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.000
seen in years. In fact,
some airports were reporting that they had the

401
00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.440
most traffic they've ever seen. And
we're just now getting into the holiday weekend.

402
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.599
It's a crazy time. It's good. There's a lot of good stuff

403
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.000
going on, good stuff going on. Hopefully things are going all right for

404
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:14.119
you at work, and chances are
if you are at work and you're having

405
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.839
a good time. It's because you
like the people you work with. During

406
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.640
the last break, I've been spending
time here talking to people and saying,

407
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:27.400
listen, I appreciate Matthews. In
tonight Toalah had the night off. First

408
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:30.400
time I've worked with Matthew. Toalla
said, this guy's ready to go his

409
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.160
shark and boy, Matthew, you
are locked in, buddy, Thank you

410
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:40.079
so so much. I'm impressed so
good. Foush one of the best in

411
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:42.200
the business. And I am unemployable, which means I've done filling work all

412
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.920
over the country and Foush absolutely one
of the absolute best in the business.

413
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:51.119
And Mark Ronner. I get up
in the morning because I think I get

414
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.599
to work with Mark tonight. I
just love working with you and I have

415
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:57.200
for a long time. I feel
a connection. You're a good guy,

416
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.279
all of it. Maybe someday some
of th already figure will give us a

417
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:04.599
show together. What did I just
say, unemployable? All right, so

418
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:08.759
it won't be here. Maybe a
podcast. Maybe we could join the podcast

419
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:11.599
ranks. Wouldn't that be thrilling for
nobody? Well, it's just what the

420
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:18.279
world needs is another podcast. That's
what I'm saying, this is exactly what

421
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.359
I'm saying. My god, one
hundred thousand. We haven't even we haven't

422
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.039
even scratched the surface yet. Was
reading an article the Wall Street Journal was

423
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.079
talking about how important it is to
have work friends. In fact, they

424
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:34.119
go so far as to say,
everyone seems to be talking Rob, and

425
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:37.319
I haven't forgotten about you. Just
wait until the end of the second.

426
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.240
These days, everyone seems to be
talking about all the value of a work

427
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:48.559
best friend. On Instagram and on
TikTok it's the hashtag work bestie. Gallup

428
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:55.480
data repeatedly showing that employees with work
best friends feel more invested and productive in

429
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:59.960
their jobs. Would you like advice
on how to get a workplace best friend?

430
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:02.799
And yes, I will give it
to you. And here's what you

431
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:10.440
should do. According to the experts. You should this is listen. If

432
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:12.039
you have to get a checklist and
learn how to make friends, you're in

433
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:18.799
trouble, but here's your checklist.
You should engage in virtual water cooler talk,

434
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.880
so if you're not actually in house, you should use zoom, Slack

435
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:33.720
and other digital tools to start casual
conversations. That's always yep, always always

436
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:38.599
personal. Hey, how is divorce
going yep, people love that, it

437
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:42.839
says, share personal tidbits and common
interest to build rapport, just as you

438
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:48.839
would in physical office, Be genuine
and authentic. Authenticity goes a long way

439
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.559
in building trust. You know how
you get to be authentic. This is

440
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.240
what I learned. Here's a little
trip. Here's what I learned. You

441
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.759
just complain. That's it. You
complain, and you tell people why you're

442
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.200
complaining. That's authenticity today. If
we're being real about it, it goes.

443
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.960
This is what frustrates me because people
relate to frustration, and here's why

444
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.960
it frustrates me. And then they're
like, yeah, me too. Oh

445
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.799
and because of this, that's it. That's how you're authentic. Done.

446
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:21.160
There are you connected? You're welcome
leverage company events, participate in company organize

447
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.279
social events, even if they seem
forced. Like Mark on the company softball

448
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:30.599
team. These events can be great
to meet colleagues outside your immediate team and

449
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:34.319
find potential allies. Unless your Mark
on the softball team, and then we

450
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.200
don't want to have to play you
in the game, but HR says we

451
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:42.559
do. You should seek common ground. Look for colleagues with similar working styles,

452
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:46.839
interests, or professional goals or total
slackers like yourself, and you should

453
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:52.920
offer constructive feedback like Chris. Shut
up, quit insulting Mark, be willing

454
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:55.920
to give and receive honest feedback.
People love it when you tell them that

455
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:00.839
they're doing something wrong. Do that
more, that's sarca. Don't do that.

456
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.359
Here's what they say, are the
don'ts all right? Are you listening?

457
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:06.680
I want you to be great at
work. I want you to go

458
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:13.119
to work and find your work bestie. Don't rush the relationship. Boy,

459
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:15.240
This is so true, not just
in work relationships but in everything. Yeah.

460
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:20.200
Are you sure this is specifically for
work? Or yeah? Well with

461
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:24.519
this it's It reminds me of the
great philosopher thirty eight special. Hold on

462
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:29.359
loosely, but don't let go.
If you cling too tightly, you're going

463
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.119
to lose it. You're going to
lose control. They say, building a

464
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:38.400
meaningful work relationship takes time, and
moving too quickly or being overly eager as

465
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:43.880
it can overwhelm the other person and
backfire. So don't do that. No,

466
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:46.519
don't don't try to get past second
base with somebody at work. It's

467
00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:50.799
not recommended, thank you. Yeah, don't do that anyway. No,

468
00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:52.599
they say, don't crap where you
eat. Yeah, don't do that.

469
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:58.079
I don't overshare too soon. This
is one of my favorites to make people

470
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:00.680
feel awkward. Do you ever do
this? I love this. While openness

471
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:05.400
is important, be mindful of boundaries, especially in the early stages. Avoid

472
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:08.599
sharing overly personal or sensitive information.
I love to do this. Got it.

473
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:14.320
You send me a photo of yourself
with this seatpap thing on your face.

474
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.840
Yeah, I don't think. I
go, oh, I look like

475
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:20.440
a monster. I look like,
what did I tell you? I looked

476
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:22.719
like an elephant or something with my
seatpap And you go, no, you

477
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:25.280
don't. I'm like, here's my
picture. Yep. No, I love

478
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:29.000
this too. You see somebody in
the elevator, you know, casually,

479
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:30.639
you might remember their first name.
You couldn't pick them out of a lineup

480
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:32.559
otherwise, And they're like, how
are you doing it? You go,

481
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:39.519
oh, man, my wife is
upset at me again. And they're just

482
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:43.239
like, oh god, no,
don't go into this. And then I

483
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:45.760
just love to spin a tail.
I love it. I love to put

484
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.760
them on the because the people that
get the joke, now you got an

485
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:52.920
office buddy for life. The ones
that don't. Yeah, I dismissed them.

486
00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:57.519
Well, people bond over complaints about
the old ball and chain, right,

487
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.960
yeah, yeah, I love that. Like, oh god, well,

488
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.719
my wife is going through a crisis. She dyed her hair again.

489
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.280
It's back to purple. I don't
know why people do this, and they

490
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.079
look at you like, why are
you telling me this? Those are my

491
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:14.079
favorites? Huh? Ignore power dynamic
or don't ignore power dynamics. In other

492
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:15.320
words, don't try to buddy up
to your boss, and don't try to

493
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:19.440
buddy up to somebody below you,
and then don't engage in negative talk.

494
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:23.039
That's how you build friendships at work, and that makes work more rewarding.

495
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:27.960
Robin, are you listening. This
is why I want to be good friends

496
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.800
with Robin. Who's been in there
with Foush all night. I work with

497
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:34.280
Robin on the weekends. She's dynamite, Robin. Thank you so much,

498
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.559
because behind the scenes, Robin's been
helping Exults some things as well. You

499
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.119
are the best and I love you
all. Thank you so much for letting

500
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:43.559
me be a part of your world. I can't wait until the next time

501
