WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.960 Welcome to Don't Drop the Tongs. April third. Yes, we generally put 2 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.199 our podcast out on Wednesday. It's late Wednesday nights. This will probably go 3 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.359 out. How many you are already in bed? So? Yes, but 4 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:17.359 it has been a week. I know that I'm busy. I know Kyle's 5 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.160 busy, and clearly Phil is busy, because yes, who's not here yet 6 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:27.280 or maybe not coming at all? Phil the grill? Because why because he's 7 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.559 filled the grill? Phil's doing Phil things. I guess, dude, that 8 00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.119 is the truest statement that needs to be a T shirt. Phil doing Phil 9 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.719 things. That is a good T shirt. That should just be a I'd 10 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:39.840 rock that. I mean it kind of like remember back in the day that 11 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:44.799 baseball payer Manny or Mires, Yeah, and Jim Rome. Jim Rome goes 12 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:49.840 Manny being Manny and you're like Manny being Manny. That's Phil being Phil, 13 00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.840 Bill being Phil, Phil doing Phil things. That's what I'm saying. If 14 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.799 you ever want Phil anywhere, like, if he has to be somewhere, 15 00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.039 you always tell him an hour earlier. So if you got to be like, 16 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.799 yo, we were gonna do this here at seven, we were gonna 17 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.000 do this at seven and then I got tied up and I was like, 18 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.519 shoot, we'll push back to seven thirty. But I give you, guys, 19 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.519 like forty five minutes. Notice, I didn't want to keep people waiting. 20 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.079 You figure Phil would respond, no response. Yeah, all right, 21 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:21.000 so let's get into yeah right, let's get into this today. Yeah, 22 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.879 if you're if you could see this or if you do see the video of 23 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.959 this. Kyle is sitting in the dining room of his restaurant Birds and now 24 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.200 you are just over one month open as you open on March first. Yeah, 25 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.359 all right, one month in? Are things getting better? Are things 26 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.920 more chaotic? What's the story? One month in? Like I have to 27 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.719 cook more? Like? What do you mean more? Well, I mean 28 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.280 every every week, every week, we're cooking more as far as like a 29 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.159 case more, case here, case there, because you're selling more. Yeah. 30 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.400 Yeah, I mean we're running I'm you know, we're running into this 31 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.560 problem now that like we need frigerator space. You know what I'm saying, 32 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.879 What do you do? Well, I gotfrigerators. We're good, Like life's 33 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.520 good, but like any more you know, any more than this the than 34 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.400 like we're gonna have to figure something out. Hey, I mean maybe you 35 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.240 could reach out to some of those hospitals that during the COVID pandemic that hebre 36 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.000 getting those those more trailers. Yeah, I ran into it. Where we 37 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.599 can go maybe a hospital's got like a leftover one. Yeah, I ran. 38 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.039 I ran into a buddy at a restaurant depot and he was like, 39 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.639 yeah, dude, you need to just rent a You know, I really 40 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.719 wish we had a walk in. A walk in would be absolutely would solve 41 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.240 all my problems. Could you put a walk in in? No, no 42 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.039 space, there's zero space here, and you know that brings you know, 43 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:52.719 that's another good point. I got my first one star review. Oh no, 44 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.759 one star baby from a yelper. Yeah, so I'm reading this one 45 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.960 star and it's as when to visit the place. It was a two hour 46 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.879 wait to get in for the dining room. So I went to go and 47 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.719 try to get takeout and that was an hour wait. This place is too 48 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:21.879 small. This place needs to be bigger, They need to expand they need 49 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.759 to do this whatever. So I left. So they deserve a one star? 50 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:32.479 How and the hell is any of that my fault? I'm so sorry 51 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.840 my place ain't big enough. Well, you know, I'm sorry. There's 52 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.560 a two hour wait for people that want to dine in, and there's our 53 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.439 weight for takeout. Like, what do you want me to physically do about 54 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.199 that?

Sounds like it in a good way, 134 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.960 but I mean it is, you know, constantly putting out fires com 135 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.120 you know, and then cooks don't. If a cook don't show up, 136 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.039 well now I'm you know, I'm the hefe now. But I got you 137 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.039 know, two three solid cooks that are like that pretty much I can trust 138 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.440 to run the kitchen. But it's just like they there's a chef name for 139 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.879 him. I don't know what the hell they're called, but so they call 140 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.600 it a soux chef, the soux chef guys or just the knobber that walks 141 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.080 around and you know, fills everything, makes this and I preach pretty plates, 142 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.559 and it's kind of an open kitchen, so there's no like hidden area 143 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.879 where like I can't talk as loud as I talk. But everybody, you 144 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.919 know, the other day, a lot of people, a lot of customers 145 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.960 are making fun of me because I was telling everybody it was like pretty plates 146 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.440 gets you a date. So that's our thing in the kitchen. They send 147 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.759 me a plate. I touch every plate that goes out, and if it 148 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:48.799 looks like crap, I send the crap, I send it back. I'm 149 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.639 like, bro, I'm not serving that next. You know, he's got 150 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.320 it. They got to make me another one. So I'm always telling him 151 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.000 pretty plates. It gets you a date, man, Pretty plates gets you 152 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.320 a date because I want, you know, people eat, so when the 153 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.399 plate gets to their table, I want to wow people. So it's going 154 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.200 good. It's going good. We're getting stuff. We got the liquor licenselling 155 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.240 some beers. I saw you were serving beers. Yeah. I got moonshine 156 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.279 here. Now we got box wine for pops, but we sell box box 157 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.840 wine. Yeah, dude, it's it's it's it's just I don't know. 158 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.240 And this is supposed to be a big weekend. It's called Road to Country 159 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.639 Thunder. So this is like the pre party before Country Thunder. Yeah, 160 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.960 and then you got Country Thunder next weekend. If you don't know, Country 161 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.159 Thunder is a gigantic four day country music festival that takes place in the town 162 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:45.919 where Kyle's restaurant is. And if you're again you're not familiar with Florence, 163 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.799 Arizona, is I want you to think that town twenty years ago that had 164 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.559 one stop light and the only other thing in that town was a prison and 165 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.360 a gigantic country music festival. That's the only thing people know Florence for is 166 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.960 that it's a tiny ass town with a prison and a big old country music 167 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:11.200 festival. Well, now the city is growing, but Country Thunder is massive. 168 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.399 I mean, we're talking thirty forty thousand people that are that are me. 169 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:18.279 I just don't know. I don't know how much people you're going to 170 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.879 get at the restaurant. Because you and I have been for multiple years, 171 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.000 almost fifteen years in a row. For me, you never you never go 172 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.360 to Longtown. You would never leave. That's the thing I shouldn't say that 173 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:37.240 we went into town. We went into town one time because legitimately I had 174 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.559 gotten out there on Tuesday to help set up and do stuff, and you 175 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.480 know, and I was like it got like Friday, and I was like 176 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.440 I need to get out of here or I'm going to lose my damn mind. 177 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.960 And we went into town and I don't know where we even went. 178 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.559 We went somewhere and just ate something. Hell, we couldn't even at your 179 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.360 old restaurant. For all of them. It was like we ate there and 180 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.639 was like, okay, now we can go back into the mad house. 181 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:01.960 See, yeah, I know. And that's the thing. Everybody's like, 182 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.000 you know, the people that are telling me like, oh man, you're 183 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.120 gonna be so busy and this and that. Those people, obviously, I 184 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.320 don't think have been to Country Thunder because now, because Country Thunder is a 185 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.240 camping festival, you're you go there, you're in. You drink too much 186 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.080 to get behind the wheel of a car because props to the Sheriff's Department, 187 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.120 they are they're popping to you as if you're dumb enough to get behind the 188 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.000 wheel, they're gonna light you up rightfully, so as they should. So 189 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.000 there's not that that much and there is not that much commuter. I mean, 190 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.080 there is commuter trafficking in and out, but they're not coming to you. 191 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.279 Where I see you getting an influx off a Country Thunder is the people 192 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:45.799 that are working Country Thunder. The everything from your parking attendance to law enforcement. 193 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.240 My gosh, they bring out. There's cops for days out there. 194 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:54.600 So I can see you getting an influx of sheriffs, law enforcement, EMTs, 195 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.200 firefighters. Wherever they get off a shift, they're like, wait, 196 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.440 there's somebody that has hot food or around here. Damn, I'm gonna go 197 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.559 there and get that, because that is one thing as a person who has 198 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.240 worked out there. Yeah, it sucks nothing more than when you finish working, 199 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.440 you want to get out, you want to go get something to eat 200 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.559 and get out, and you're like, there's nothing for like thirty miles. 201 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.480 So then you end up saying, all right, screw it, I'll stay 202 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:24.039 here. Then you start drinking shitty beer and you start eating a hot dog 203 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:30.000 that's disgusting in between some bun that's got dust on it. That was the 204 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.320 younger US bro. That was the younger US. Because you know what, 205 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.799 I'm out of the fifty I think I'm on. It's like seventeen years that 206 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.000 I've gone every year, but I've missed the past three. I've only left 207 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.559 my campground to go into town once. Yeah, and that is because I 208 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.559 got straight hammered at like nine am, straight ham like straight. We do 209 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.960 this thing. It's called Philly igloo. Basically think of jungle juice. So 210 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.759 everybody in the campsite brings bottles and I fill up this big, massive igloo 211 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.519 and nobody can leave the camp until it's gone. Well, we decided to 212 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.639 play this at nine am bro By one or two o'clock, you could just 213 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.360 sit back and people are falling down. I went to bed. I woke 214 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.960 up at like nine, and they're like, oh, let's go to the 215 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:13.639 concert. I'm like, no, get me out of here. So I 216 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.639 jumped in my truck and we went down to some pizza place out here and 217 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.759 we sat in eight pizza bro. That was the only time I ever left. 218 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.000 So I mean, think about how many years you and I were both 219 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.240 there and never crossed paths because neither one of us left our camps. Yeah, 220 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.120 exactly. I'd be like, be like, go walk around and be 221 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:37.759 like why I was? They could come to me. I'm like, they'll 222 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.600 come to me. Yeah, I'm like And also, that's one place where 223 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.200 I'm kind of redneck Jesus, and I'm like, I don't really want to 224 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.080 deal with people right now. I just want to recognized. I just want 225 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.639 to sit in my motor home and drink my beer and close the door and 226 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.360 pretend I'm not here. I mean, I was the king of that. 227 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:58.919 People be like Barrel's gone, and be like, no, Barrel's here. 228 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.120 He just got his motor home with all the blinds closed and the door closed. 229 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.879 And I was like, if you don't text me and know that I'm 230 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.720 in here, I'm not letting you in. I mean, I was notorious 231 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.360 for that. But yeah, and see what I'm hoping for too. There's 232 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:16.200 a Mexican food spot out here. I'm friends with the owner, and he 233 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.080 says a lot of the country acts go into his Mexican food restaurant during the 234 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.279 day and then sometimes at night because they want to get away same thing they 235 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.799 want to You know, I can definitely see you very well, could get 236 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.240 something where they're like, dude, I just because and again I can't guarantee 237 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.159 what you're gonna get. I don't think you're gonna get some of the big 238 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.720 headliners because a lot of those headliners are just coming in and going out. 239 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.679 They got the private jets out. Yeah, they're they're pj and in and 240 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.720 they're doing their thing. They're escorting and they're leaving. But I will tell 241 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.000 you, I could definitely see you, and I hope you get I hope 242 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.360 you get Eric Church to walk in there. I will I will bone my 243 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.039 my life is over. If Eric Church walks in here, it's game open. 244 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.679 Or I hope you get Jelly like with Lady Wilson, who walking in 245 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:00.720 there? That would be a melro you, Lady Wilson. So I've been 246 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:06.080 tagging them in every damn post that I do, and tagging Country Thunder and 247 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.120 all why not on Instagram. I've been going to day it's smart marketing. 248 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:11.879 You should be now. I will say this now, whether or not you 249 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.120 get one of them in there, that would be amazing for you. I 250 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.120 would love that for you. But I don't. I don't see it that 251 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:22.440 I could see you getting members of the crew whatever else. Because I have 252 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.559 a lot of friends of mine that are on these bands, these tours, 253 00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:27.480 and you talk to these guys, and you know, everybody thinks it's this 254 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:33.159 glamorous life. Dude, it is a life of just rough. They ride 255 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.639 in a bus, they sleep in a bus, they get to a city, 256 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:40.080 they leave one city, they wake up in another city. Yeah, 257 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.000 especially when they're doing these festivals or wherever else. They're excited. If they 258 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.639 can go get not showering a trailer or not shower like somewhere, they're like, 259 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.000 they don't care. And if it's warm, good food, they're like, 260 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:57.000 I don't care. I just want I want something different than backstage catering 261 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.679 people like, oh, backstage catering is awesome. No, backstage catering is 262 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.440 rubbery, gross, Yeah, chicken that you hope you don't get food poisoning 263 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:11.839 off of in powdered freaking eggs and just where you're like, ugh, this 264 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.319 sucks and oh yeah, by the way, you've been doing it for twenty 265 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:18.359 five years of your life. Yeah, And I tell you so, you 266 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.079 very well could get crew people. And if you do, I would just 267 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:26.039 say this that anybody who you think is with the tours, the bands, 268 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.839 whatever, treat them like gold, because what you want to have them do 269 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.839 is say is to go back to the bus and be like, dude, 270 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:40.759 I had some freaking banging ass barbecue. Yeah, and the people like really 271 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.200 where? And that will spread like wildfire once you get one or two and 272 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:45.960 then go back and say it, it'll spread like wildfire. And then you 273 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.039 will get a headliner that's like, yeah, oh, well, let's go. 274 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.799 I want real ast food, let's go. I mean yeah, because 275 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:59.000 he the owner of the Mexican food place, was showing me that. I 276 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.960 think it was Luke Bryan here last year anyways, Luke Brian was eating lunch 277 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.759 at his at his and it very well could be a situation where Luke Brian 278 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:08.000 came in early and he's on his bus and he's like, I just want 279 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.119 to go. Let's go get some Mexican fool I got. I gotta get 280 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:12.440 out of here. I want to get out of here, and I want 281 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:17.559 to have a conversation with random like I want to talk to random people. 282 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.640 I'm talking to my randoms, not only randoms, but in some situations it's 283 00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.400 hey, I got to call my wife and kids. And I'm not saying 284 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:27.440 Luke Brian's kids, but they gotta call my wife and the kids. My 285 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:32.759 kids being a shithead, and I need to lay the law into my kid 286 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.319 for being a punk. And I can't do that backstage because, by the 287 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.559 way, when I'm backstage, a lot of times I have to be on. 288 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.079 I have to be seen. Yeah, I need I need somebody to 289 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.279 go drive me out of here so I can FaceTime my kid and tell my 290 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.640 kid he's being a shithead. Yeah that I mean. They're real people, 291 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.200 And that's what I don't think people understand. So often they think like, 292 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.319 oh, they're glamorous, somebody else raises their kids. No, country artists 293 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:56.839 are real ass people. Who got real things they're dealing with, So you 294 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.319 very well could get a headliner walk in. But that's why what if every 295 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.200 single person treat them like gold, because you need that word to get back 296 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.039 to camp or back camp, to backstage. When people were like, dude, 297 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:11.319 there's this banging barbecue place right over there. I'm all over it. 298 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.599 And then that's what you get, because I will tell you I went I 299 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.440 went on. I've been on a few different tours, but I remember being 300 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:26.480 with El Dean in Chicago and there's this thing called bus food. When the 301 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.200 buses all get ready to leave at the end of the night, somebody there's 302 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:36.640 usually a local restaurant that brings food for the buses, so it's whatever. 303 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.720 And I remember this local pizza place in Chicago. It was the best Chicago 304 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:41.640 pizza I've ever had. And I was like, how did you find this? 305 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.440 And they're like, oh, you know, so and so knows about 306 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:47.359 it, and they every time we come to Chicago, this is what we 307 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.400 get for bus food, and I'm like, damn, this is amazing. 308 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.039 But again, it wasn't like a big chain. It wasn't a loo miildoddies, 309 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:57.200 it wasn't It was some of the local shop that somebody had had an 310 00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.279 experience it was close to the venue, reaches out to and says, hey, 311 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:06.400 can you make sixteen pizzas and twenty orders of wings? And I was 312 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.160 like, yeah, sure, boom and now they're there, go to And 313 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.559 that's what I hope happens for you.

As in Detroit where I grew up, everybody always used to say, 332 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.079 you want to know where the best restaurants are, look for the cop 333 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:22.640 cars. They're like, they're like, they ain't eating it. They they're 334 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.680 eating out every single night. They're not eating a garbage Oh you know what 335 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.599 I mean. They're they're going where it's good. They're going where it's safe. 336 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.359 They're going often where it's family yelped. Yeah, yeah, soully on 337 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.319 board of that. So that's awesome for you. So all right, you're 338 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:44.960 a month into the restaurant. What has been the part that you underestimated the 339 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.480 most and what was the part that you were worried more about that does or 340 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:56.559 has not come to play or hasn't come to I would say underestimated. I 341 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.119 would say, uh, what did I underestimate, well, you know, 342 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:06.519 staffing, and I underestimated that I could literally sit here twenty four hours a 343 00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:11.200 day and just cook, cook, cook, cook. Well, I mean 344 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.559 it's I'm still doing it, but it's I'm underestimating that the how much I 345 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:22.519 can really do. And I'm very hard headed on letting other people do things, 346 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.319 yeah, because it's like, you know, I like touching everything. 347 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:27.880 I like cutting the potatoes, I like making the beans, I like doing 348 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.960 you know, all this stuff. And you know, it's it's still taking 349 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.400 me a while that like, hey, like let them do it. And 350 00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.839 I have a head cook here. She's she runs the entire show. She's 351 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.359 I put her in charge. She's the head. You know, she trains 352 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.720 everybody. Now, she's the head HAFE. But she like literally has to 353 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.759 look at me, and you know it's I don't know, it's funny different. 354 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:53.799 I don't know how to say this, but like how you talk to 355 00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.440 women and compared to how you talk to a dude. Yeah, you know 356 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.720 what I'm saying, it's different. So I'm like real nice around her, 357 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.680 and like she'll just look at me and say, Kyle, shut the f 358 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.480 up, let's get this done. Let him do that. You do you're 359 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.039 doing this or you need to go talk to customers. I got this, 360 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.400 this is my job, you know, it's just this whole thing off. 361 00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.000 I'm very happy that you have that, I know, and I'm so thankful 362 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.720 that she like and she was the number one girl that was constantly blowing me 363 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.359 up. When do you open it? When do you open it? I 364 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:29.400 would like to apply, I would like to apply, and you know so 365 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.880 yes, so me trying to try to get hands off is very hard for 366 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.119 me. But she is on me pretty tough about doing this, doing it, 367 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.119 and she wants to learn. She wants because I haven't taught anybody my 368 00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:44.640 wing sauces yet, Like she's like, I'm I want to know how to 369 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.359 do that. I also got another guy that she brought in that is uh, 370 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.079 he's another killer. He wants to learn the smoker. He wants to 371 00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:57.039 be here at three am when I'm pulling meat wrapping me. He wants to 372 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.599 put ribs on at four am. He wants, you know, he wants 373 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.240 to learn all that. And I've taught him the wings and it's just difficult 374 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.480 for me, Like because I don't see a day I know it's I know 375 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.480 it'll happen. But I just personally don't see a time where I'm gonna be 376 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.960 like, like, I don't have to get up at three am to go 377 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.400 wrap. You know, it's not ultimately the goal. That is the goal. 378 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.880 Yes it is the goal, but damn, I'm hard headed and I 379 00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.039 can't let anybody. I'm just hard headed, man, And it's I just 380 00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:26.759 I don't under I know, I know I gotta do it.

But yes, I'm pumped. 448 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:15.960 I mean shit, I had a two hour wait to get in on 449 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:22.960 Saturday, and Fridays are killing us. Saturdays slammed here. Sundays is like, 450 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:25.759 you know, it's slow in the beginning, but as soon as church 451 00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:29.039 lets out, we got a massive, you know, massive crowds of like 452 00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:32.880 people, a party of ten, party of twelve, party of seven, 453 00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.799 you know, stuff like that. But yeah, no, I'm pumped. 454 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:37.920 A lot of people show up here, A lot of people support us, 455 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.079 as town supports us. Everybody, you know, I got. I got 456 00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:44.759 a couple of customers that just wait for my wing sauce to come out when 457 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:47.559 I drop it and then they say, okay, pick the day and they 458 00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:51.200 come in every weekend. I mean I've had people here every weekend just to 459 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.519 try the wing sauce. Yeah, it's just whatever, crazy, you know. 460 00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:56.839 And that's why I got to keep pushing these crazy specials. And I 461 00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.559 got some crazy ones this weekend. But I keep pushing that, and that 462 00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.279 drives people to keep going. I gotta have that. I gotta try that 463 00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:10.559 drives people to come in. Have you had any have you had any technical 464 00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:15.440 mechanical smoker go down? Internet go down? Like oh shit, where this 465 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:22.079 was not good moment? Umm? No, no, knock on wood, 466 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:27.599 nothing like that. We have a toast. We use Toast as our POS 467 00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:33.519 system. Yeah, that is like a total different dimension for me to even 468 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:38.119 comprehend on how you're not a very tech savvy person at all. So Koffeini 469 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:42.759 handles all that. So we're constantly calling each other like, hey did you 470 00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:47.160 put this on the menu? Did you do this? And then the girls, 471 00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:48.720 the servers, they come and ask me and I look at them. 472 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.279 I'm like, I don't know what you want me to do, you know, 473 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:55.400 And then they're screaming at me, Hey, we need this, order 474 00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:56.720 this, this, this, and I'm like, look, so we gotta 475 00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:03.400 sign we got some head quote unquote head waitresses here that they're very savvy with 476 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.559 toast, they know how to use it, blah blah blah. So I 477 00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:11.839 kind of send the newer training slash younger to them to let them handle it. 478 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.640 And if they can't handle it, then they come see me or we 479 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.720 get you know, Coffeini involved to put all the you know, to figure 480 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.599 out the toast system. But other than that, no, nothing, knock 481 00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.359 on wood. Has nothing gone out good? Thank god. I mean, 482 00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:29.200 we got an ice machine. Ice machines have been given us problems. That 483 00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.400 thing can't keep up, but it hasn't gotten down. But I think that's 484 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.119 kind of an m in Arizona. Ice machines never can keep up. Yeah, 485 00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:41.519 I know, I know this. We're all right. So it's a 486 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.680 four thousand pounds, you know, it's it's supposed to put out four thousand 487 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.359 pounds of ice. Well, I'll run through that and you know, half 488 00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:52.240 a day maybe more, and then the damn thing can't keep up, the 489 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.880 damn and so then now I gotta go buy bag's ice. And that's the 490 00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.599 only other that's that's the only thing. Other than that. Now, life's 491 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:04.240 been good, all right. So you're month in, what is your goal 492 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:10.799 for six months? What is your goal for a year? Goal is to 493 00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.000 have a pitmaster, have somebody that I can trust, which we're getting there 494 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.119 that I can trust. That's like, Okay, you're gonna be here at 495 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.759 three am, You're gonna round so you won't have to sleep in the restaurant. 496 00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:26.200 Then yeah, yeah, you'll be able to be a human correct And 497 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.440 literally I have Mondays Mondays, I come in, I got two people that 498 00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.880 come in with me. We clean the smoker, We do a big deep 499 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.559 clean in the restaurant, and then I'm out of here by noon and I 500 00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.599 finally get to go to Waddell, do some laundry, clean all the rags 501 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.279 and all the other bs that I got to take from the restaurant. Then 502 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:48.559 I'm back. You know, sometimes I'll hit restaurant deepot that I'm back out 503 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:55.240 here on Tuesdays and I'm here till till Monday. Sleeping at the restaurant. 504 00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:59.920 Got me a nice little cot. But yeah, it's driving me crazy. 505 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:04.480 But we're we're getting there with the pitmaster. What are the goals we got, 506 00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.640 uh pitmaster? And I got to learn to just let people do their 507 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:13.720 thing. But I'm very like, I just touching plates like that's big to 508 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.599 me. Like I like touching the plates. I like looking at them, 509 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:20.359 making sure life's good it. You know, the pretty plates gets you a 510 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.200 date. I wanted to make you look pretty, the toppings, you know, 511 00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:28.480 stuff like that. I enjoy, you know, going out talking to 512 00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:31.279 the customers, making sure everybody's happy, everybody life's good, blah blah blah. 513 00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:34.640 And you know everybody wants to talk. Where'd you get this trophy? 514 00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.960 How how did this turn out? Why? Florence? You know, stuff 515 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:42.960 like that. So okay, I don't know. Yeah, and now the 516 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:47.039 five year question, do you see yourself ever opening another one? Uh? 517 00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:52.559 Hold, somebody's at the door, so can we talk? This is kind 518 00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:54.440 of awkward. We're gonna do this. So somebody is at the door right 519 00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:58.279 now. I'm gonna describe this. Somebody's at the door or Coyle's Restaurants, 520 00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.839 Real Quick's the dining room. Somebody's knocking on his door. It is eight 521 00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:06.680 o'clock on a Tuesday or on a Wednesday. Excuse me, he's unlocking the 522 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:12.960 door down to tell somebody, Like literally, Kyle's downplaying how popular his restaurant 523 00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.920 is. It's eight o'clock. He's clearly not open. He barely has a 524 00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:21.200 light on inside this place, and people are banging on the windows and doors 525 00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:23.960 to try to get this barbecue. I mean, Kyle's very very humble, 526 00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:30.000 he's very very proud of this stuff, but he's not showing off with success 527 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:34.640 like the dude legitimately is standing there right. No, he just came to 528 00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.559 the door and now he has pizza in wings. So now it looks like 529 00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:45.519 people may be trying to bribe him to open up. Brouh, did somebody 530 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:50.200 just bribe you to open up? Yeah? They brought me a pizza. 531 00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:55.559 What is this for? So they sent me a free pizza? Who did 532 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.279 the pizza owners here? I guess stage He was like, yeah, we 533 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:02.880 see you driving. We drive by here every day. We see in here 534 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.440 working at all hours. My husband works somewhere, I don't know, somewhere 535 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:09.679 at three a m. Somebody just brought you pizza. Just brought me a 536 00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:12.960 pizza because they saw me sitting here and said, you look like you need 537 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:17.519 to eat, dude. Perfect, Perfect, that's all I need to look 538 00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:21.559 like a bum because I'm always at this damn place. Perfect. I just 539 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:25.360 I just got pizza. Free pizza, baby, I'll take it. That 540 00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:30.320 is awesome. I was describing, Hey, whatever, I'll take it's free 541 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.559 freeze free, free is free, my brother. Hell yeah, anyways, 542 00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.800 where were we? You got free pizza? Bro? So I got this 543 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:42.000 massive window here and I have this big blackboard kind of covering the window so 544 00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:45.079 I can kind of hide, and I push it towards where I sleep, 545 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:47.480 so nobody knows I sleep here. But you know, I leave the lights 546 00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:50.760 and not leave the lights on, but I got you know, the lights 547 00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:52.960 are off. But I'm up, you know, constantly making sauce or whatever 548 00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:57.639 the hell I'm doing. But hey, let's go free pizza baby, free 549 00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.920 pizza. Gotta love that now. Would you ever open another way? Yeah? 550 00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:06.679 Yeah I would, but you know, five ten years down the road, 551 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.719 yeah, one d percent you know, because I got there. Yeah 552 00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.519 I would. I would, but you know, I think things would be 553 00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:16.159 I don't know. We have to see if I gotta get through one year, 554 00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:21.559 but yeah, yeah I would do it. I love doing this. 555 00:35:21.559 --> 00:35:22.519 This is fun. This is fun to me. Like I don't have a 556 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:25.599 boss, I don't have I do what I want to do. You know 557 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:30.119 what I'm saying, Like I'll hate coffeini up, and I'm like, Yo, 558 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:31.719 Brody, this week I want to do bacon wrap ribs or this week 559 00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:35.119 I want to do hall opinion.

Yeah, I don't 565 00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:55.599 know Connecticut.

By the way, that's really good. Yeah, and I 568 00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:06.039 actually want to talk to Phil. Phil made my Detroit style pizza, used 569 00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:07.639 my dough recipe. I saw that, so it must be an sea if 570 00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:12.320 he's playing, if he's practicing that. It looked good. It looked good, 571 00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.039 the doe look good, the crust look good. Phil and I were 572 00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:17.559 talking about that.

Well, he doesn't do anything. Where I was going with 575 00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:30.320 this is so you know, he said, you want to open another one? 576 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.559 But I have to ask this I would?

The building does have a downstairs basement in it. 582 00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:57.400 It's for Kyle's sleeves because the guy is working. Not anymore. But yes, 583 00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:00.840 okay, well you have slept there. Yeah, but here's what is 584 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:08.000 interesting. The place has a ghost. Yeah yeah, I haven't seen some 585 00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:14.679 sort of some sort of outside little spirit. Some weird stuff has happened. 586 00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:20.000 Things have turned on randomly, Toilets have flushed randomly. Let's see. I 587 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.920 can kind of explain the toilets flush because it's like it's an old building, 588 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.039 like whatever. But this is like one of those super flushers, Like when 589 00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:29.960 you flush a toilet, it's like Yeah, it's like like it could like 590 00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:34.599 take a watermelon down. Yeah, it's not like a home like a home. 591 00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.960 Yeah you know, okay anyways, but yes, so it flushed. 592 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:44.559 Yeah, you've had other stuff happen. Has there been any recent updates with 593 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.360 No? No, there hasn't been anything. I mean, like, I 594 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:51.960 mean, who know nothing. Do you think the ghost is retired? You 595 00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.119 think the ghost is cool with you now? No? I think we're on 596 00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:58.119 the same page. Yeah, like I don't mess with him her and he 597 00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:00.159 don't hear she don't mess with me. So wh Yeah, so you guys 598 00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:05.000 are good.

That didn't happen. 612 00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.079 Yeah, So he came to me and was like, hey, can you 613 00:38:55.199 --> 00:39:00.760 make two hams for me? Smoke two hams?

This place, you know, there's nothing like that out here, 659 00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.800 so I'm gonna take advantage of that as long as I can. But 660 00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:44.480 yeah, no, it was killer, It was good. It was good, 661 00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:45.519 well good. I'm glad to hear that.

Okay, just that, just it gets me fired up. 671 00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:30.360 Bro, Andrew, I'm so nice. I don't fire off on I don't. 672 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.760 I will tell you. I will tell you that is one thing that 673 00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:37.880 I have struggled very hard with my job is Unfortunately, in my job in 674 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:42.440 the radio industry, there are changes, changes happen, and people take to 675 00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.199 social media after a change happens, and they love to just let it be 676 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:51.039 known and just say the worst things they can about you and just cut you 677 00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:55.239 down. And you're like, why are you so angry? Like why So 678 00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:00.000 I had a situation there was when we made a change about eight years ago, 679 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:02.239 go to our from our old morning show to a new morning show where 680 00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:06.079 I had a bigger role on it. It was tough, man, I 681 00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:08.159 mean it was change is never easy. That was a huge I mean that 682 00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:12.800 was a huge morning show too. Yeah. Yeah, good people change, 683 00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:15.039 It's shit happens and it sucks. I hate it. Yeah. Anyways, 684 00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:20.360 dude, people there were some people that were upsets, people were happy. 685 00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.320 It was it was just a mess. Well, there was one person that 686 00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:30.000 was extremely mean. I mean every single day for like weeks straight, like 687 00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:34.639 we could post, oh my gosh, look at the beautiful sunset, and 688 00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:37.360 it was you suck, I'll never listen again. I'm like, it's a 689 00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:42.519 sunset, Like it was just even you could not win. Right. So 690 00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:50.639 fast forward about I don't know three four months in I run across. I'm 691 00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:52.440 a I'm at a ticket stop giving away tickets for one of our concerts, 692 00:43:54.280 --> 00:44:02.960 and up walks this person and I'm eyeball eyeball of them because I saw their 693 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:07.719 social media photo every single day with a notification and so says, you suck, 694 00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:12.159 and I'm like, okay, So I see this person walk up to 695 00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:16.079 me. In my head, I'm like, I want to just I want 696 00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:20.639 to. I walk up to the table and they enter and I looked right 697 00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:24.719 at him and I go, thank you so much for still listening. I 698 00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:28.639 know that you said you wouldn't, but it's clear you still do and I 699 00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:32.960 appreciate it, and I welcome you to the family. Thank you. And 700 00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:37.880 they were like like did not know what to do, like they were on 701 00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:40.440 their heels. And I was like, I go, we're all human, 702 00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:44.559 and I said, we all have feelings, we all have emotions, and 703 00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:50.119 I for true and I would choose to just be kind. I can't and 704 00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:53.280 they but dude, being so kind. I'll be honest. I was almost 705 00:44:53.320 --> 00:45:00.000 patronizingly kind. Guess what it did. It completely put them on their heels 706 00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:05.119 and it completely made them be like, Okay, he knows who I am, 707 00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:08.440 and he should be an asshole to me, but instead he's being so 708 00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:14.199 nice to me that almost he's being a bigger jerk because he's nice. But 709 00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:19.199 I can't. That person couldn't react because I'm so nice to him, completely 710 00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:22.760 put him on their heels. And I was like, I could do it 711 00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.159 good for you, but I would I can't, dude. That's why I 712 00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:30.119 like these one star reviews. Bro, there's no profile picture. Of course, 713 00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:32.880 there's no profile picture. And don't be surprised, Kyle. And this 714 00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:37.159 is crazy to say this. When you start getting popular and you start rolling 715 00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:43.199 and you start getting random negative reviews that don't make sense, believe it or 716 00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:49.320 not, there are bots out there that you can pay. You can sign 717 00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:55.280 up and pay a fee for that will write negative reviews about something in order 718 00:45:55.320 --> 00:46:00.639 to try to drive down your star review your competition. We'll do that. 719 00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:04.440 Oh I'm sure, I'm I'm I'm sure that's coming. And people are like, 720 00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:06.840 that doesn't exist. I'm like, no, it does. When you 721 00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:09.840 click on the profile and the person doesn't exist, the photos are stage, 722 00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:14.000 they're random whatever. I'm like, that's a bot. That is a computer 723 00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:20.400 generated AI bot that whole job was to just bash you because that's what the 724 00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:23.519 service does. It creates us to drive down, to create negativity, to 725 00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:27.440 try to make a negative thing pop up in the algorithm, to try to 726 00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:30.199 do these things. And people are like, are you serious. I'm like, 727 00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:35.039 yes, the world is sick that we love and think that we got 728 00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:37.360 to bring people down, but we don't have the guts to even try to 729 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.360 do it ourselves. To fight it. We have an ai bot bash. 730 00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:44.679 It's like, come on, yeah, no way, yeah, yeah, 731 00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:47.519 I know. So if you get a random one star from somebody and you 732 00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:51.880 look at it and you're like, they have no photos, they have no 733 00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:55.199 other views of restaurants, they just exactly no other, exactly other. It 734 00:46:55.440 --> 00:47:00.920 just smoke me on a Tuesday. They just decided to there's violence on a 735 00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:04.480 Tuesday. You're like, exactly cool. I just hope, I just hope. 736 00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:07.000 I'm not having a bad day when I read them. I just because 737 00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:08.960 you get you get emails, you get notification, hey, blah blah blah, 738 00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:12.519 you gotta you know, and my you know, during service, my 739 00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:16.519 phone's down and I'm all over the place. So after everybody's gone, I 740 00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:21.360 put the meat on meets ready to roll. Now I'm relaxed, I'm calm, 741 00:47:21.679 --> 00:47:24.079 then I pull up the Then I pull up the email. Yeah, 742 00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:29.599 the emails or the you know, the whatever. I answer people back the 743 00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:31.119 whole thing, So then I'm more calm. But if I'm like in the 744 00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:36.480 middle of it and I get this thing I don't know, that might get 745 00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:45.280 a little rough. Don't don't, don't no to react because that's what that 746 00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:50.920 negative reaction will go much more viral because it's they always say, it's it's 747 00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:55.800 an old saying. You could meet a hundred people and be the nicest can 748 00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:00.400 be that hundred people, maybe ten them talk about how nice you are. 749 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:05.880 Ye, if you meet one hundred people in your mean to ten of them, 750 00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:09.199 a thousand people will know how mean you were. Yeah. People love 751 00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:12.880 to talk smack. They love to say how much they sucked. You hate, 752 00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:15.239 Oh I got the owner pissed off and he's a psycho. Man. 753 00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.840 They're not gonna talk about how the owner came out and talk to him and 754 00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:22.800 was super cool and super nice and sat down. Now they don't care about 755 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.440 that. They want to hate. We live in people just want to talk 756 00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:30.519 smack. No. I mean, let's be real though. Look at sites 757 00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:35.360 like TMZ, what is their job they're billion dollar companies whose only job is 758 00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:43.840 to expose people's skirts, drama, dirt, whatever. Exactly how often is 759 00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:45.840 teams are in a story like, oh my gosh, Mel Gibson walk the 760 00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:50.639 puppy across the street. No, no, they want to run the story 761 00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:53.920 Mel Gibson trips over dog in Hollywood Street. You're like, oh gosh, 762 00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:58.079 you know what. I gotta be honest. I'll read the story. Yeah, 763 00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:00.360 I know, right, I know, I know because they got some 764 00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:04.039 good headlines. All right, all right, brother, will be good. 765 00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:07.679 Good luck.
