WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.280 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.839 Retail sales slowed in April. 5 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.960 Tariffs have been weighing on consumers or are pooled pulled 6 00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:18.600 forward spending on some key categories in the month of 7 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.079 March ahead of those terraffs. So the headline retail sales 8 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:25.559 rose tenths sorry, one tenth of a percent in April. 9 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.559 It's a little bit above the expectations for sales to 10 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.519 be flat. It's well below the one point seven increase 11 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.719 one point seven percent that we saw in March. 12 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.320 So you'll forgive my whiplash, but here it exists. 13 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:41.759 Because the last time we had Michael Monks on from. 14 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:46.000 KFI News, we were talking about La City being in 15 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.039 such a deficit that it had to get rid of 16 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.840 all these workers, had to lay people off left and right. 17 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.960 And now the La City Council is turning around and 18 00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.240 telling business leaders in La you have to pay your 19 00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.920 people more. That's real rich, isn't it. 20 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:01.880 That's the great irony of this. 21 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.359 And it wasn't lost on some people who oppose this 22 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.040 minimum wage increase. For some airport and hotel workers. In fact, 23 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.400 a representative from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce started his 24 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.760 remarks to the council, look at the economic climate inside 25 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.879 this building, inside city Hall. At this very moment, you 26 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:22.519 were talking about laying off sixteen hundred workers because you yourself 27 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.799 are not fit to pay them anymore. And that is 28 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.239 the situation in which we find ourselves in Los Angeles. 29 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.920 Across LA the economy is a little stagnant here. Restaurants 30 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.599 are closing, New businesses aren't coming the way that they 31 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.040 might have. But now, by a twelve to three vote, 32 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.840 the city Council has in fact given the initial approval. 33 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.120 They'll do a second vote, just more of a formality 34 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.439 at this point, to give final approval to a raise 35 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.159 for these workers at the airport and in hotels with 36 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.400 sixty or more rooms up to thirty dollars an hour 37 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:53.359 by twenty twenty eight. 38 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.040 Wow. And so this will be an incremental raise. It'll 39 00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:56.640 start in July. 40 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:58.480 They'll go up to twenty two to fifty, which is 41 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.719 modest compared to what the minimum wagh now, so it's 42 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.599 a couple bucks more, but it's going to go up 43 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.040 incrementally over the next few years until it reaches thirty 44 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:06.680 dollars an hour. 45 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.599 I was complaining about something at home work related to 46 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.240 my husband. He says, well, why don't you quit and 47 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.840 go work at a hotel near the airport? And I 48 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.599 didn't really ask a follow up or or think about 49 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.639 it further. But then this happened, and now I get 50 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:21.280 what he was saying. 51 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.599 It's right, so he broke news. 52 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:25.319 He wrote news. 53 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:27.360 I think you'd be a good waitress. 54 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:28.879 You'd be a sassy wait but would you be the 55 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.000 type of waitress that sat down at the table to 56 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:31.560 take the order. 57 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.479 She's an edge everything about you about time your meal 58 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.319 was done. But this isn't for Is this for waitress? 59 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:39.240 Wait staff as well? 60 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.319 The interesting part of this as it relates to that 61 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:44.439 specific job if you're waiting. 62 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:45.919 Tex And why did I just put myself in a 63 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.199 waitress outfit in my head from like the fifties? 64 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.199 I wonder the only one I was gonna say. I 65 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.759 wonder if you did the same one that was in 66 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:52.199 my head. 67 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.680 Let's all sketch, Well what we just imagine? 68 00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:58.719 Why did I? 69 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.919 No, I don't want to to come down here because 70 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:02.400 I don't want to have to take one of these jobs, 71 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.479 even though the pay is more interested in this building, the. 72 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.719 Votes don't even work. Do you know that we don't 73 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.000 have working votes here? That's hilarious. 74 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:10.639 Think about this. 75 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.400 Let's say you work at Gary and Shannon's cafe outside 76 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.680 of you know, Silver Lake. You're in silver Lake, a 77 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.080 standalone building, your popular restaurant, and your servers are in there. 78 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.360 They do not get this. 79 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.639 But if there is a holiday in with a restaurant 80 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:32.159 inside it next door, the workers inside that holiday in cafe, 81 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:33.759 they do get this. 82 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:39.639 Fras yes, how uh okay, how come nobody on this 83 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:40.439 city council. 84 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.439 You said it was twelve to three the vote yesterday. 85 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.479 So there's three people who would arguably listen to this 86 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.800 proposal by the unions, right, because that's I'm assuming where 87 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.680 it comes from. Yes, uh, and the three of them 88 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.840 would simply say, you're affing crazy. 89 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.159 There's no way that we would be able to support this. 90 00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.680 There's no way that the company that own those hotels 91 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.360 and those tourist spots, whatever they might be, there's no 92 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.280 way that they're going to want to do this. So 93 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.520 to protect what does exist there in that infrastructure in 94 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.680 terms of hotels or places where this would apply we're 95 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.839 gonna not do thirty dollars an hour because we don't 96 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.680 want these companies to pull up and leave. We want 97 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.360 them to maintain some sort of footprint in our city. 98 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:30.600 How come it only. 99 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.800 Was three It was on the city council members Monica Rodriguez, 100 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:39.279 councilwoman Tracy Park, and Councilman John Lee who voted against this. 101 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.040 They raised a lot of questions over the course this 102 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.360 has been going on for months, these conversations, it was 103 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.040 clear they were not on board with it because they 104 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.560 were listening to the industry and it's not just. 105 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:48.199 The big guys. 106 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.920 Hilton, which it does have an important thing to consider 107 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.439 down in Universal City not far from here, that they 108 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.680 may stop doing, which is a major expansion, and they 109 00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.800 have an agreement with the Olympics. But they were talking 110 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.600 about some of these all hotel ears and if you 111 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.519 are a shop owner in the airport, you're not some 112 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.360 big corporation and you're already struggling. This was the point 113 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.480 that was hit really hard. The argument here is and 114 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.720 why twenty twenty eight is the target date for it 115 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.959 to hit its max for now is because the Olympics 116 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.040 are coming and we're the people on the front line 117 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.560 and making sure all of these visitors have a great time. 118 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.079 And by the way, the Olympics aren't forever. 119 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.959 They're two and a half weeks long, so this is 120 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.000 something that will last beyond the Olympics. But tourism right 121 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.279 now and business right now, it's not just bad, it's 122 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.000 getting worse. 123 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:34.279 Then. 124 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.399 Those businesses that they're targeting are struggling more than usual. 125 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.759 And they have data to prove that. So they heard 126 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.639 from the CEO of the LA Tourism Board who came 127 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.399 in and gave statistics. It's not just international travel that's down. 128 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.240 I know that's been tied to the White House and 129 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:51.079 some of the rhetoric and maybe the tariffs and all 130 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.040 of that, but domestic travel from some of the key 131 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:59.639 markets that they identified, New York, Miami, Washington, DC all down, down, down, 132 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.600 And so there were I just as a guy who 133 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.920 watches every city council meeting, including the committee meetings, they're 134 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.279 just rarely, really never any discussion about improving the overall 135 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.560 climate of Los Angeles to make it more. 136 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.160 Yeah, how is this going to attract people back to LA? 137 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.040 I don't have an answer anything. 138 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:21.240 It's going to make it worse. 139 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:21.839 On your face. 140 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.279 Sorry, your look wasn't tell but the blank look, because 141 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.439 there is no answer to it. 142 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:32.040 No, no, If anything, it's gonna make it. It's gonna 143 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.360 make it worse because these businesses holiday and for example, 144 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.160 are going to have to pay people more. Well, where 145 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.959 do you think they are going to pass that on to? 146 00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:43.920 They're going to pass it on to the people from 147 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.160 Cleveland who come to visit. 148 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.360 They're going to pass it on in higher room rates. 149 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.839 They're going to pass it on in not refurbishing their 150 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.600 hotels the way that they would have had they not 151 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:57.279 been hit with this payroll tax. Essentially, I mean, it 152 00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.920 makes no sense. I'm not asking for the La City 153 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.759 Council to suddenly make sense or be business minded people, 154 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.639 but to me, this is like kindergarten level intelligence of 155 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.199 how the hell do you expect this to attract more 156 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.399 people to your city and businesses? 157 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:13.600 And that? 158 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.000 I mean, it's it's it's awful and you can't even 159 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.079 balance your own books. You're already so far in the red, 160 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.879 and now you're telling business owners to spend more of 161 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.759 their money that they don't have as well. 162 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.120 I mean, it really is next level Fresno dumb for. 163 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:34.160 Sorry, Kean No lovely by the way, the gateway to usemity. 164 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.399 Really it was a little inside conversation like Madera all 165 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.879 love the Fresno and the listeners there. Yeah, yeah, I'm 166 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.519 sorry I started it and I apologize. I'm from Kentucky. 167 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.720 I just picked up the ball.

I was rushing towards the goal line. 169 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.920 I do want to note that because this this increase 170 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.519 in pay also includes an increase in healthcare contribution. 171 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:56.759 We got more than stick around. 172 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:02.199 Michael Monks talking about the La City Council and the 173 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:06.560 backing of a thirty dollars minimum wage for hotels, despite 174 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.759 everybody in the tourism industry saying that's an awful idea. 175 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.319 That is just a stupid, awful, Fontana dumb idea. You 176 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.600 know what I changed the city? 177 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.959 Do you know that Fresno, just to go back to 178 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.959 the well is the raisin capital of the world. 179 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.319 You know what sucks?

Hey, 253 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:36.720 if you have a city you hate, let us know 254 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:37.840 on the talkback teature. 255 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:38.320 That's good. 256 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.320 I want to show your math, Michael. 257 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:43.320 Tell us more. 258 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.440 Not only is there salary going to go up or 259 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.720 their hourly rate, but also the bennies. 260 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:51.440 The healthcare contribution. 261 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:51.879 Yeah. 262 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.360 Absolutely. 263 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.679 By twenty twenty eight, they're going to be paying about 264 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:59.159 eight dollars plus an hour for these healthcare contributions. So 265 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.159 that's a no. They're added expense for these businesses. Now, 266 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.240 healthcare in this country can be debated all you want, 267 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.120 but right now it is mostly provided by employers, and 268 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.840 for these workers, they're going to see a significant increase 269 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:14.360 and what they're getting. There is a proposal to make it, 270 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.120 which I thought was strange. Tell me if I'm wrong 271 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:20.039 that this is strange. Councilman Adrin Nazarian, he's the guy 272 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.279 who got elected last year to replace Paul Krekory, and 273 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.320 so he represents the part of the valley, and he 274 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:29.440 put a motion forward suggesting that these hotel and airport 275 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.679 workers who already have insurance through a partner or through 276 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:36.159 some other means, they should be able to recoup their 277 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:43.080 healthcare contributions in cash because they're using WOW, a different WOW. 278 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:44.360 So we're just handing out money. 279 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.639 That's like our company. Also, like most companies, I think 280 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.639 these days are encouraging. Hey, if you can get healthcare 281 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.080 through your spouse or house, please go do that. 282 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:56.120 But they're not giving us the money for it. 283 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.519 I will even go so far as to say you 284 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.840 must tell tell them, you must tell the company if 285 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.879 your spouse has healthcare available. 286 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.360 You can't just not do it or not sign up. 287 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.399 For it. You've got to and they will be very 288 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.879 angry with you if you don't. We subject to that. Yeah, 289 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:15.759 we live. 290 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.960 In an era where I mean spouses may have different 291 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.799 health care plans because companies are like, this is too expensive. 292 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:22.120 So this was not. 293 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.559 Shot down, It did not get included in the motion 294 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.840 that ultimately passed. But this amendment that was offered by 295 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.399 Councilman Nazarian, which again sought to ensure hotel and airport 296 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.519 workers could recoup in cash their healthcare payment if they 297 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.000 already receive healthcare through a partner, spouse, or veteran plan, 298 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.440 that has been sent to committee for further exploration, rather 299 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.799 than just shot down outright, all right, I. 300 00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:48.879 Want to tie this into the Olympics, and I heard 301 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.360 this proposal. The idea of our proposal is not the 302 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.399 right word. Here's an idea if you want to get 303 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:00.440 the city ready for the Olympics in twenty eight. We 304 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:02.399 have a dry run coming up next year with the 305 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:07.200 World Cup, I believe, and other big events that we 306 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:11.360 regularly do. Anyway, is there a way for us or 307 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:18.440 for hotels, tourists based industries to increase minimum wage for 308 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:19.679 the Olympics. 309 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.799 I don't know. The municipal law around that. 310 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.080 It's a kind of a city attorney question probably, but 311 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.000 if that's what their goal is as stated here, it's 312 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.120 something that maybe could have been explored, like, hey, while 313 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:31.639 these two and a half weeks are going or the 314 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.240 months surrounding it as well, for a temporary time, you 315 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:36.639 will have to pay this much because it's going to 316 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:37.519 be really busy here. 317 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.919 And why just do your job? Why do you I 318 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:40.559 don't get that. 319 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:44.519 I mean, I don't agree with that idea of doing 320 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:46.639 it just for the Olympics, but it is going to 321 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.759 be busy and offer people over time. That's a lot 322 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.320 of ways that a lot of the lot of time. 323 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.679 That's the way people make extra money is they're willing 324 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:55.360 to work a little. 325 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.279 But who's checking in right now for the Olympics work? 326 00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.519 I mean, come on, did a service job it was 327 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.960 better when it was busy or the day went by quicker. 328 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:05.399 Yeah, well you should. 329 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.919 Get paid more because it's busy at your service job. 330 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:08.960 That's ridiculous. 331 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.559 The union here Unite here Local eleven, they do. What 332 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:14.960 I've learned is possible at La City Hall. I mean, 333 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:16.679 if you come to La City Hall with the demand, 334 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.279 if you stand and shout about four hundred times. You 335 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.279 usually get what you want, and that's what happened here yesterday. 336 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.639 You've heard a lot of that chanting, a lot of 337 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:31.480 characterization of these businesses being selfish. Were CEOs and stock 338 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.879 prices and all of that. I this as predicted by 339 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.720 the tourism industry, the hotels, the airport workers. We also 340 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.120 heard from the chairperson or the CEO of the of 341 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.039 the airport board. This is going to hurt the businesses. 342 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:45.759 You know. 343 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:48.200 It seems like it might be another step to make 344 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:51.200 us not ready to even begin to be ready for 345 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.360 the LA Olympics, and maybe we'll make a motion to 346 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.120 move them to Fresno. 347 00:15:55.080 --> 00:16:01.399 When you open up circle, Monks ice Cream, Monkery. 348 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.279 The monkeyy, I don't I don't know. 349 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.639 That kind of monkery. The Monker a. 350 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.360 Brand new raisin flavor, but I. 351 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.440 Don't like raisins. Monk's Creamery, I don't like creamery. 352 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:13.480 I like creamery, and I was leaning towards that, but 353 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.480 Monk's Creamery sounds no kind of holy and I feel 354 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:17.519 like I'd have to lean into that. 355 00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.159 You'd have to do rosary things. 356 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.240 I could. I could open up next to the robes. 357 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:24.759 We could have everybody dressed like monks and shave their. 358 00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:28.039 Heads or okay, my question before they have. 359 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:32.519 We could chant at the customers, welcome to monkst Creamery like. 360 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:44.399 That, Oh my god, you paid attention.
