Podcast Editing & Hotel Anecdotes

Speaker
It was fun. It was such a pain in the ass in editing. In fact, as we record, I'm still editing it.
00:01:22
Speaker
So I want to get it done by today. It was funny because... You know as a flight attendant and you're coming to my hotel and i would try to try to find a parking spot for you. And I go to the hotel person at the desk and I say, my friend is coming to visit. Is he going to be able to park here?
00:01:37
Speaker
is he going to leave after 10? Oh, no, he's not going leave after. Oh, no, no. I saw a slight eye roll and she's like, he can park in the 15 minute spot. Oh, no, he's going need longer than 15 minutes, girl.
00:01:52
Speaker
that was tweeting no yeah yeah so that was fun and then i come in with a bunch of camera equipment we're making porn no we were not we were not we're making pot pod podography podography is that a thing that I think that's what this is.
Preview of Topics: James Charles & Trump
00:02:10
Speaker
Okay. um Speaking of this, guys, we're going be talking about a few things. We're going to talk about the whole James Charles situation. If you're not familiar ready to get mad, I want to talk about some worst exes. I want to talk some, we we have some Trump stuff. We got some sports and we got about what what is the future of the industry with movies like obsession? And we got some cool jokes and a penetrating question, man. We got it all today.
00:02:35
Speaker
We have a penetrating question, Robert. We sure do. you do. So, ah yeah, without further ado, um yeah, let's get started. yeah Let's let's get deep into it, baby.
James Charles & Spirit Airlines Employee
00:02:48
Speaker
So um with the recent Spirit Airlines closure, a lot of people have lost their jobs. And if people have don't know, there is a influencer.
00:02:59
Speaker
named James Charles, who is he he caters to obnoxious, the obnoxious, like the most obnoxious you can think of when it comes to influencing. That is him. And little, little, little. Yeah.
00:03:15
Speaker
And someone decided, probably out of desperation, to send out a GoFundMe page. This is an ex-employee of Spirit Airlines to James Charles saying, hey, could you share this out? I don't know what to do. i just lost my job and might lose everything. And instead of just ignoring it or instead of just typing back, I'm not.
00:03:35
Speaker
He decides to make a whole video about this woman um and basically goes off on a tangent saying how, ah you know what you could do instead of this GoFundMe, find another fucking job and ah shit like that. And things like, ah you know, instead of sending me this GoFundMe, you could use this time to apply for other jobs because you're lazy and you're entitled.
00:03:59
Speaker
and And this is coming from an influencer. Wow. was never really worked a day in his life.
Airline Industry Insights
00:04:05
Speaker
And the, it was just the, the amount of like the lack of empathy, heartlessness, heartlessness, absolute heartlessness. Uh, the entitlement, the entitlement of that rotted his brain as an airline employee.
00:04:21
Speaker
Okay. As a flight attendant, This industry is always very challenging. Okay. This industry always has its, no pun intended, ups and downs. um Airlines close and... Airlines close, go under, they merge. It happens all the time.
00:04:37
Speaker
you look at the history of most airlines, it's happened to pretty much everybody. Okay. Delta wasn't always Delta. American wasn't always American. um United... i mean, Continental was a huge airline. They're now part of United. This happens all the time.
00:04:52
Speaker
So... When you lose your job as a flight attendant, at first it can be very difficult to get another job because what you've done in that skill set is so specific to that industry.
00:05:04
Speaker
Okay? yeah Yes, we know, you know, basic triage and stuff like that. We know how to, so you know, save people in the event of emergency, but we're not to become our we're not going to become... p ah not pediatricians i'm not gonna come uh paramedics out of nowhere because that takes a lot more so a lot more classes that a lot of us maybe don't want to be paramedics yes it's part of the job so for somebody to be who's probably completely down on their luck and probably already applied to other airlines other jobs things like that and for you to go you don't want to give them money fine but for you to go on and make a video about
00:05:36
Speaker
Fuck you, man.
Critique of James Charles' Empathy
00:05:38
Speaker
Jesus Christ. And Ron is just fresh off of ah seeing this video, which yeah I just saw it for the first time. And yeah I mean, the guy has his hair is done nice. That's obviously a nice robe, whether it's a hotel robe or not. It's a nice robe. Nails are looking fresh.
00:05:55
Speaker
You obviously have money. Okay. You've obviously had work done. You can see in your fucking cheeks. So, and here you are shitting on somebody because but what, what if you, even if you gave them a hundred bucks, they don't, you're like, you don't follow me.
00:06:10
Speaker
Okay. What if they did? Would you still make this fucking video? Right. It's obviously desperate. If they don't follow you and they're reaching out to you. Yeah, exactly. So it's just a very strange thing to do. Go, on go, go.
00:06:23
Speaker
ah You know, I, you know what I hope he attacks our podcast. That little game is trash. That'd be cool. But, uh, James Charles, I'm sorry. Uh, you're a heartless fuck. And i hope, and you're an influencer. Awesome.
00:06:35
Speaker
Great. You have followers. You make money doing stupid videos like that. Awesome. We have a podcast. We make no, we lose money on the podcast. yeah Every episode costs us $5,000.
00:06:48
Speaker
It doesn't. it's um then what you but you But you have to remember, you were a nobody once. and you And if you treat people like that, you still are a nobody. He's also a pedophile.
00:07:02
Speaker
Now, what proof do you have of that? So, yeah, there's been this is like old news, too. This is not like, oh, it just came out because of this. I mean, there's been DMs that he's been that he sent to like underage kids. So the fact that he like kept going, the fact that it kind of got swept under the rug and then he comes out with this video kind of brought all that shit back of like, wait a minute, you do know about this shit, right? Like this guy's just a bad person.
00:07:27
Speaker
um but yeah You know what's sad is that bad people gain traction.
Audience Humor: Brazil & India
00:07:32
Speaker
Yeah. you know You and I are nice people. We have nobody. We have somebody. But, you know, it's... We have people.
00:07:38
Speaker
We have people. It just makes me wonder... They love us in Brazil. ah They do. Brazil can't get enough of the Down With DP podcast. Actually, i think India. india so they like They like us in India, actually. a Shout out to India. Shout out to Brazil. we love you guys.
00:07:51
Speaker
ah but When I say they love us, i mean like five people, but it's fine. Hey, love is love is love. you Love is love is love is love. But here's the thing. As like a very successful influencer that he is. um This is two. Yeah, that too.
00:08:07
Speaker
yeah that too This can't be the first time someone has, uh, also JC is like Jesus Christ. Um, Jesus is Christ. Nails were never that fine. Okay. Oh, his nails were nice nails. They were properly done because they have a lot of fucking money and they're shitting on people who don't.
00:08:26
Speaker
I know Jesus's nails went through his hand. I would love for him to make a reaction. Go ahead. But he here's the thing.
Influencers' Responsibilities & Public Perception
00:08:33
Speaker
about my shit comedy career. I don't care. No, he i think he's trying to ignore all this shit because he did lose a lot of followers. So there's a lot of, lot of lash. Oh, how do you try to go fund me? Oh, wait, fuck you.
00:08:45
Speaker
Yeah. um So he made it, I think he made an apology video, unless it was an old apology video. apology videos are bullshit. Oh, no, I don't give a fuck about apology Ellen DeGeneres and her apology, fuck you.
00:08:56
Speaker
Yeah. You only did an apology video because you got caught. That's the only only reason anyone does an apology video. um I knew about that. i would ah I would hear stories about Ellen for years. So would I. So would I. Especially being in New York and being in the industry. Yeah, I've heard about DeGeneres for years. Even my wife, knew I think she was the initially told me. Even she knew about Ellen DeGeneres and she doesn't have anything to do with the entertainment industry.
00:09:17
Speaker
Yeah, I know we're transitioning a little bit to this, but it's the
Ego & Fame: Ellen DeGeneres
00:09:21
Speaker
thing. I think I've said this before. I think I've said this before. There's something to be said about having your own show where your name is plastered everywhere.
00:09:31
Speaker
Even on the paperwork you walk in, it's your fucking name. i think I think I've told this already, but um that's got to go to people's heads of like, hey, it's, you know, it's the Ron Prenomato show and it's Ron Prenomato everywhere. It's on the paperwork. It's on the fucking sticky notes. It's on everywhere. Your name's everywhere. So that, I mean, I've never, I've never had my name on a marquee, but you do get excited when you see your name up in lights or your picture somewhere. It is exciting. Um, to see my photo on,
00:10:04
Speaker
um my friend's show at uh danger fields made that club rest in peace i mean that was a dream come true for me yeah i got to perform at danger fields like that was amazing to me that is amazing oh does it go to your head yes but it doesn't have to go to your head in the sense of like ego ahha it can it can go to your head in the sense of know you feel good about yourself but don't let it get to your ego Right.
00:10:29
Speaker
Yeah. So don't let it go to your head, I guess is what I'm saying. Don't let it go to your head. Yeah. And I also would think like with the James Charles thing, this can't be the first time someone's asked him for money.
James Charles' Career Challenges
00:10:40
Speaker
So I'm like, why now? Why, why now lash out? here It's a hot topic right now. That's why. Yeah.
00:10:46
Speaker
It's a hot topic. and is I mean, we have we haven't seen an airline closure and a while. I mean, I mean, what was it? It was Hawaiian, alaskan Alaska merged with Hawaiian or Hawaiian merged with Alaska, I should say. So that's kind of a big thing. But we haven't seen an airline completely like shut down operations in a while.
00:11:07
Speaker
Right. That's true. Especially on on the amount on the American side. So I'm not sure what happens overseas. But yeah. Speaking of airlines, you were in my neck of the woods last night for like 10 minutes.
Ron's Burbank Flight Attendant Story
00:11:18
Speaker
I was. I flew to Burbank for like 10 minutes and then turned around and came right back. Yep. why So why did that happen? Why why the short? Oh, because that's the way the trip that's the way the trip was designed. It was a turn.
00:11:29
Speaker
oh was There was no layover intended. Oh, interesting. So was that flight just to bring you guys back? or No, that flight, I worked the flight going and then I took people off and I brought new people on and then I worked the flight going back.
00:11:44
Speaker
Oh, okay, cool. So yes, it was a 14-hour day of taking people across the country. So it was Burbank to New York? New York to Burbank, then Burbank to New York. Yep. Oh, wow. Okay, cool.
00:11:55
Speaker
Yes, i flew I flew across the continent twice in one night. Because you did send me a photo. What was up with the, how did you get outside the airport? The people were off the plane and we were deplaning. There was nobody there. It was, we had a like a 10 minute piece of downtime before we had to start boarding again. So I took a picture to show you that I was actually there and not lying.
00:12:15
Speaker
Oh, okay. Now I would have to look at the angle. For some reason, I kept imagining you were on like a shuttle van. I don't know why. No, no, no. That was ah that was the actual airport. Okay, cool. was I was on the ah the ramp. I just stepped on the ramp.
00:12:27
Speaker
Oh, yes. Okay, cool. That's all. That's all. um Oh, yeah, that Panda Express is in that. i've been You've eaten there before, haven't you? Yeah. Oh, I have. yeah I walk there all the time. um Yeah, the fact that you're walking distance from Burbank is crazy.
00:12:45
Speaker
Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah, you know who's probably not walking distance? two miss turmos James Charles. James Charles. James Charles. Yeah. Well, maybe he might be in L. He's probably in like, he's probably in like, I don't know. and don't know. He's probably in like Pasadena or some shit like that. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that.
00:13:04
Speaker
But, um but enough about that dickhead
Politics in Sports: Trump & Jackson Dart
00:13:09
Speaker
dickhead. There's another dick head dickhead dickhead of the week. Yeah. We're going to talk about another dickhead.
00:13:15
Speaker
Sweet. And he's not, he's not necessarily a dickhead, but he's getting a lot of backlash for it. Okay. Get a lot of backlash for it. Jackson Dart, the quarterback of the New York Giants, went and introduced Trump at a Trump rally.
00:13:37
Speaker
Oh, okay. um Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. Get that check. But, ah and he started the whole, I'm going to read you what what was quoted. This is how he opened up. I mean, he really needs to work on his PR skills.
00:13:52
Speaker
ah And this is quoted. What's up? What's up? What's up? Yeah, Big Blue Nation. It's a pleasure to be here. I got to start off with this. a Go Big Blue. I'd love it if y'all follow with me. Go Big Blue.
00:14:03
Speaker
Go Big Blue. Go Big Blue. Go Big Blue. So the funny thing about that is. Yeah. He's changed he's getting the ah trying to get a Giants chant going, obviously. ah Funny thing about that is, out of the rally of dozens and dozens of people, um only like four people chanted with him, so it was kind of funny.
00:14:27
Speaker
um also we also said after He also said after that, what an honor and a privilege it is to be here. Without further further ado, I'm grateful, I'm honored, I'm pleasured introduce the 45th and 47th President of the United States, President john Donald J. Trump.
00:14:43
Speaker
And then Trump came on stage to God Bless the USA by Leigh Greenwood. Okay. So Jackson, like, so what I'm hearing is that he had no permission from the Giants organization to go up there and to be there.
00:14:58
Speaker
Right? Okay. No. Uh-huh. Also saying go big blue. If you don't know that for a sports thing, it just sounds like you're cheering for Democrats. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. um Which is kind of it's kind of ironic. Which is like funny. Oh, yeah, yeah. Keep going. i don't want to interrupt.
00:15:13
Speaker
and's like I'm going to write in the thing. But here hear's here's the problem, okay? A lot of the conservatives say keep politics out of sports.
00:15:25
Speaker
Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. I mean, that's one reason why I watch sports is because it's not too political most of the time. Right. As political as I am, I need to break myself. But if you're going to cheer on Jackson Dart for speak, you're contradicting yourself. The conservatives are contradicting themselves. Oh, my God. no way.
00:15:44
Speaker
um So, yeah, this I don't think this is a smart move. He's got a lot of backlash. um There was also a thing that said, are you are you worried that you're going to lose fans because of this?
00:15:55
Speaker
And I'm not sure if this quote is true, but he basically said, yeah I don't think a lot of blue hairs watch football anyway, meaning Democrats. Yeah, yeah. You play for New York, okay?
00:16:07
Speaker
You represent the city of New York. A mostly liberal city. now Now, the National Football League lost a lot of fans after the whole ah kneeling for the flag thing, right? Okay? you your Your source, especially in New York, are a lot of Democrats.
00:16:26
Speaker
What are you doing? Right. Right. Okay, you want there's you want to you want to support you whoever you want to support. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. Maybe next time don't go rogue and do it on your own. Speak to your organization before making a decision like that, especially when we are so separated in politics. I mean, and especially your your your teammates.
00:16:45
Speaker
i Think of your teammates. I mean, do you think every one of your teammates is a Trump supporter? Maybe not. So what if one of them decides to go, up I slipped. I did the block wrong and you get tackled. And now you tore your ACL and now you're fucked.
00:17:00
Speaker
There goes, there goes your season, maybe your career. Now I hope nobody would do that. That's really fucked up, but you got to think before. Yeah, kid, you really do. Right.
00:17:11
Speaker
I agree. You know, and it's not like you're a great quarterback. you're You know, you're okay. But the fact that you represent a team in New York changes everything.
00:17:22
Speaker
I agree. So, you know, but for those people who like it, cool. Just remember next time somebody takes a knee during the play the ah National Anthem, you know, I'll keep politics out of sports. Well, you know, think about it.
00:17:36
Speaker
Yeah, I read it, actually. i actually read all of his Memorial Day posts. ah Yeah. hold um it's I think he since deleted it. but When he took office in 2017, it was very much happy Memorial Day, you know yes you know, thank you to all the people who died for our country kind of thing. Right. It started very generic and as what it should be. It should not be political at all.
00:18:00
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
Memorial Day & Political Debate
00:18:02
Speaker
i was talking with a friend about this last night. The fact that we make Memorial Day, the fact that we look at our military as political, pisses me off. Yeah, I agree. yeah I mean, as a bleeding liberal, um I support my military 150%. You know, I may not support the actions, but the men and women who go over there to do it, nothing but the biggest respect.
00:18:23
Speaker
And the ones that have made the ultimate sacrifice, yeah you know, you can't, Nothing, you can't say anything more. It's like you've, they've made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, for us to do this podcast, for us to be pieces of shit, for us, you know, for, for people to have our opinions. That's what we fought for, for freedom of choice to not be, um,
00:18:47
Speaker
punished, disciplined, or whatever want to call for having an opinion, even against their own government. That's what that's what I think you know people have paid their ultimate sacrifice for. And we're in a place now where the president is making these posts, and it's completely one-sided. And I don't i don't think anybody who made the ultimate... I could be wrong, but I don't think anybody who made the ultimate sacrifice...
00:19:09
Speaker
is you know was one-sided. they they are fighting They fought for this country. it's and that's you know He gets a lot of like praise for being a businessman, but this is like terrible business because let's just say, hypothetically, you're trying to sell a product.
00:19:25
Speaker
Why would you ever try to belittle half of of the market for said product? Why would you ever do that? That's terrible business practice.
00:19:38
Speaker
room Mind you, the man is a businessman, but is he a good businessman? No, he's terrible. That's like part of point. Just because you push people into a corner to get what you want does not make you a good businessman.
00:19:49
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, yes, you have money. Yes, it makes money. I'm not denying that, or none of us are denying that. But that doesn't necessarily make you a good businessman. I think what makes you a good businessman or business person is when you...
00:20:02
Speaker
do make deals and you make partnerships and you know, you work with somebody and you make money and your employees are happy. That makes a good business. Like it, I think we're past this point. Like there's been so many insults thrown at everybody that like, when I read like, cause he, the thing is he called, he's like having moral day, even the Democrats, which is like, okay. so all those veterans that fought, like who were democratic, guess,
00:20:27
Speaker
fuck them um that it's it's more of like it's not even getting angry in the past though yeah but it's like i see that and i'm like sure i could get really enraged but i don't anymore i'm just like ah he's just a fucking idiot i mean he made okay say what you want about say what you want about late and i will say great john mccain okay He made fun of John McCain. I know. Man can't lift his arms past his shoulders because he was a prisoner of war for so long.
00:21:01
Speaker
Yeah. And you made fun of him for that. Yeah. Wow. What have you done for this country? Besides raise our gas prices, get us started in wars and piss a lot of people off.
00:21:13
Speaker
Yeah. but you done't We don't have any money for snap benefits, but there's always money for war. Always money for war. Always money for war. Always. Yeah, it's bullshit. And anyone who and and you know i and for the war the war machine, you have to blame both sides.
00:21:30
Speaker
You really do. Because, you know, a lot of them want to keep their pockets full, but... Yeah. pretend And I will say a lot of Democrats will pretend to act like they're doing trying to do something for us when really they're... I mean, Nancy Pelosi is a good example, I think. Yeah, yeah. You know, Nancy Pelosi, she i've I've agreed with her in the past, but at the same time, why hasn't any Democrat ran against her in a primary? Oh, because she controls the fucking party.
00:21:53
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And we're going to war, but yet you speak out, but yet you do nothing to make sure Democrats, you have enough power to make sure Democrats win all the fucking time, but you don't. Right, right. So, what are you doing?
00:22:05
Speaker
Did you, um, speaking of, uh, Trump doing terrible things, uh, did you see, uh, the last Colbert?
Stephen Colbert's Final Show & Podcast Speculation
00:22:12
Speaker
I saw clips. I saw clips. saw clips too. I thought it was sweet. Um...
00:22:16
Speaker
Yeah, Stephen Cole, the Late Show, I mean, that was to rival the Tonight Show. And Dave Letterman did it for years. Yep. Which was fantastic. Always loved it. And then, even though I was always a Conan fan, i'm not going lie. Oh, I'm a Conan guy, through and through. But at when Colbert went from the Colbert Rapport to the late Late Show, awesome. And I've had friends who've performed on the Late Show.
00:22:39
Speaker
So it's it's sad that CBS, you know, basically... put their tail between their legs and sucked off the president and kicked, kicked, kicked freedom of speech off the air.
00:22:52
Speaker
Yeah. Very upsetting. Very upsetting. But, uh, speaking of Conan, did I ever, I don't think i told you this. Like said c yeah I said, CBS, right? I said CBS. Yeah. I love Conan so much that, uh, there is a thing. So my, my, one of my dreams is to not be a cast member, but to host SNL.
00:23:12
Speaker
I would love sure one of my things. And I already have a way that I want to like come out of, you know, when the host comes out of the door. i thought you meant something else. Oh no, no, not, not.
00:23:23
Speaker
Cause I'm here to you if you want to come out. I'm very, I'm here. Okay. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. um But yeah. Yeah. When the host is walking out of the door, um i wanted to do a Conan stick when he had his show where he would like he would do a slow walk like all that. thing yeah And then he would do like a hop and then point to the band.
00:23:46
Speaker
Oh, yes. it is yeah I wanted to do a subtle thing like that um just to be like, hey, I like Conan and Conan worked on S&L, you know, he did like a cool thing. He did.
00:23:56
Speaker
But um he also wrote for The Simpsons. Yeah, he did. He sure did. But back to Colbert. Yeah, it's Colbert. it's just It sucks. It does. Yeah, it really sucks. And I do like how Dave Lederman and him threw furniture off the. That was cool. I did see that. Ed Sullivan theater roof. That was pretty cool. Yep. And I'll end it with ah Paul McCartney.
00:24:17
Speaker
Yep. He was the final guest and it made sense because they had their big, the biggest like debut on late night was on the Ed Sullivan Theater with the Beatles. Oh yeah. That's right. A little tie in the knot at the end.
00:24:30
Speaker
And then they had some funny celebrity guests in the audience that were, you know, they're pretending to be upset that they weren't the final guest. Bryan Cranston was in it. um And then he like finds out he's not the final guest. and he's like, all right, fine, I'm leaving then. And the same thing with a Paul Rudd as well does the same thing. And so was just kind of funny.
00:24:49
Speaker
um What do you think he's going to do? you think he's going to go to the podcast world? I feel like that's the next step, right? Conan did, and it's great, by the way. Conan Needs a Friend is such a good podcast. He might go to the podcast world. I mean, that's that's it's a solid move. You have attraction. You'll get you know yeah so many followers. it's you're not You're not starting from nothing because you have a following. Yeah.
00:25:12
Speaker
you know You never know, maybe TBS will fill that Conan spot that they did years ago. um i don't think... I hear rumors that he might... he want You know, him running for office.
00:25:23
Speaker
Yeah, I i don't know. I don't think he'll do that. Even though I think him or Jon Stewart would make wonderful presidential candidates.
Podcasting vs Traditional Media
00:25:32
Speaker
But, you know, i we need the comedians. We don't need them to be politicians. Right, right. um i You know what's interesting about the podcast world? um So I have a podcast, Ron. Oh, yeah, I do too. Rob rambles.
00:25:49
Speaker
Yeah, I was going to say that as a joke, actually, but I didn't. For those of who that don't know, live Rob had a small podcast so where he would ramble for 20 minutes. Yeah, unlike this one, which is huge. But we both rambled for an hour. Yeah.
00:26:04
Speaker
Honestly, the Robert Rambles podcast was just an excuse for me to vent. I was by myself. There was no there was no fancy gadgets like we got here. yeah um But there was no video. There was no video. No video. It was just me. It was just me and you, baby. Me and were you. single Were you single at the time?
00:26:20
Speaker
No. um But well, here's the thing. When it comes to like Conan. Conan's show is so entertaining, his podcast, and it's just it's interesting because you're getting the same show at such a fraction of probably the budget that it would take to do a late night show, yeah and you have more control. Like, he's not...
00:26:44
Speaker
You know, I'm sure yeah you know, like advertisers don't really own you on podcast. You either promote them or you don't. um It's not like television advertising where it's correct.
00:26:55
Speaker
um At least I would think so. But you're just not you don't have as many restrictions. So maybe that would be the way to go if if Colbert even wants to do that. But who knows? I mean, maybe we'll take a break.
00:27:07
Speaker
Yeah, like kind of like Trevor Noah did. He took a break. And next thing you know, he's doing like a Heineken commercial or something like that. Like, yeah. We'll see. I mean, we still have the Daily Show. We still have the Tonight Show. We still have late night freedom of speech.
00:27:21
Speaker
So, yeah you know, just one less, but hopefully they don't try to. I mean, he's going to go after. ah Obviously, he's going after Jimmy Kimmel, obviously. Oh, yeah. I know he he kind of like took a shot at him and it admit it hit hit him, but he recovered. It hit him, but he ah got back up on his feet and.
00:27:38
Speaker
Yeah. I don't know. It's unfortunate. I mean, and he's on ABC, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yeah. yeah Right. it Right across the street from the Dolby theater in Hollywood. um I know if you, you, you've, you've been to like the Dolby theater and stuff had no i haven't no on Hollywood Boulevard. Nope.
00:27:57
Speaker
Oh, really? Oh, so i we've actually never I've never been down there. I've been to LA a bunch of times, but I've never been down there. Okay, so the Dolby Theater is um it's actually where they hold the Oscars. And right across the street from the Dolby Theater is ah is Jimmy Kimmel. like They show the outside with the pillars. I've i've actually gone to see Jimmy Kimmel once before.
00:28:19
Speaker
um And he had Sean Penn on, which was cool. oh yeah Yeah, that was neat. I mean, that whole thing with Jimmy Kimmel, just... It's just so petty. it's it's it's It's so un-American. Is that the right word? yeah You know, you speak out against the president, now Disney is taking you off the air? Like...
00:28:39
Speaker
Disney, what are you doing? Let me get your opinion on this. um So I've been kind of like, yeah know I've been liking Gavin Newsom, but I noticed he, did he not try to cancel shows too that were talking more
Media Influence: Trump vs Newsom
00:28:53
Speaker
Republican? I just, because here's the thing. He probably did. I don't, I mean, um go ahead. I just don't want to be a hypocrite. I'm not for what Trump is doing to television, and I would not be for the Democratic version of that.
00:29:08
Speaker
You know I mean? Like, so if Gavin Newsom came in and there was some kind of show that was making fun of Democrats, I wouldn't be like, no, let, yeah, let's cancel them. Can't take them off the air. Here we go. Here we go.
00:29:22
Speaker
Hold on. I found an article. no I don't want a, I don't want a democratic version of Trump. If that Gavin Newsom, the headline reads on msn.com. Gavin Newsom calls for late night TV shows cancellation.
00:29:34
Speaker
ah let's see. like Why is the president saying anything about what's on TV? yeah California government governors is doing everything he can to act presidential these days, even if means following President Donald's Trump example that includes Democrat calling a major network to cancel his popular late-night show. Gutfield.
00:29:52
Speaker
That's what he trying. Gutfield on Fox News. And his post post was on on Twitter, because I refuse to call it X, on Twitter, and in all capitals...
00:30:02
Speaker
I seldom watch low-rated, end quote, garbage man, end quote, Greg Gutfield, but when I do, I marvel at the fake laughter on the show. It sounds like a bad, quote, laugh machine, end quote. It sounds obnoxious and disgusting, just like him. Always laughing no matter what is said. Real page reads hate it when Fox... and Let's see. And then it says show more.
00:30:25
Speaker
Let's see. Mm-hmm. Let's see if I... But yeah, basically what I'm saying is I just don't want... Oh, here we go. Real Patriots hate it when Fox edits the tapes. That's in parentheses in quotes.
00:30:40
Speaker
Puts Garbageman Greg on. Fox ought to, quote, get smart, end quote, and not use losers like this. Also, they shouldn't be allowing shouldn't allow negative ads about me. Thank you.
00:30:52
Speaker
So if that is the Democrats next choice, OK, if that is what the Democrats are going to put on my ticket.
00:31:02
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to vote third party. Yeah, well, I will. I will write in Luke Skywalker like many people have in the past. You might as well just not vote. that I will write it. I will write in Robert. dunn Okay, well then that's a vote worth voting for. Thank you. I'll vote for myself. I mean, there are plenty hopefully there's plenty of other candidates in lo my local elections. Actually, Ron, if I became president, imagine how much that would help the podcast. i if We just can't make money on it. I can make money on it You can't make on Yeah, but then you would put it away in a Swiss bank account. So when I'm done running, I would get all that money.
00:31:37
Speaker
You know, you would put it away for me. Right. And if you don't, I'll have my croonies go after you. Next thing you know, you have to live presidential because you said you have croonies.
00:31:49
Speaker
That's right. Good thing this is not airing. But if Gavin, really, if if Gavin Newsom is like, he like no. do Do not take a page from Trump. Do not stoop that low. yeah No politician would be stooping that low.
00:32:03
Speaker
None. I understand maybe wanting to like, you know, fight back in the same way and stick it to him. But I think we got to stop with the stick it to him mentality, even though we really, really want to. If you look, if you look, and if you look at debates, if you look at debates, presidential debates prior to Hillary and Donald Trump.
00:32:24
Speaker
They were so civil. They complimented each other. They shook hands. They were so civil. We have not had this since then. And it's unfortunate because, you know, I think the American people want that back.
00:32:40
Speaker
Yeah. We want, we want people to disagree, but get along at the same time, because obviously it doesn't work. I mean, how many people have lost friends because there are other friends or family members or Pat, you know, they disagree with them.
00:32:53
Speaker
Right. yeah i have i i don't I don't think I've lost any friends. I mean, couple people that I've known in high school got into it, don't talk anymore, whatever. I was never really close with them to begin with. right But at the same time...
00:33:06
Speaker
Like, it's awful that, you know, people feel this passionate. And I understand, too. It's like, let's say, let's say you're a member of the gay community and somebody is voting for, you know, the Republicans who are against, most of them are against homosexuals. And yeah, i I understand you not wanting to talk to them anymore.
00:33:24
Speaker
I get that. I do. Or if you're a conservative Christian and somebody is very big on abortion and you don't like that. I yeah understand that side too, even though I think, like I said, you should be pro-choice and pro-mind your own damn business. what someone else does But anyway, but yeah, I understand that, but you should like, you should have a difference of opinion, but yet still be friends.
00:33:44
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, and you and I grew up in fucking Florida. Yeah. In central Florida. If we, i mean, i if we didn't have, we have our opinions obviously, and we, we now state them on the show, but like,
00:33:56
Speaker
You think we would still have friends if we stopped having, if we didn't like our friends for having opinions? Because you know we have conservative friends. Yeah. A lot of them. but there When we went to the class reunion, you know, i had one friend ask me, why do you live in New York? I just said, because I like it.
00:34:10
Speaker
Yeah. and he's And he's a conservative and that's fine. Nothing wrong with that. but Well, that that's such a dumb thing. It'd be the same. Why do you live in LA? Because I'm not like you. Like, why do you think I live there? I mean, I like cities. That's my whole thing. I like cities That's why I live in that's why i live in new York. I'd be like, why do you live on farmland? i get it. that Farmland's beautiful. I don't know. that's what i mean. Like, I'm not going to shit on them. It's not for me. Okay.
00:34:35
Speaker
Yeah. It's just not for me. so but Dude, literally, i don't think I told you this, but literally on one of the comments...
Civility in Political Debate
00:34:40
Speaker
Kevin Newsom, stop being a dick. One of my necessary conversation ah parody videos I did, someone was like egging me on to call for like the death of the father.
00:34:53
Speaker
And I was like, nah, man, I just... Oh, that's oh that's fucked Because he was sick, right? The father? Yeah. oh yeah I think this was actually before that. And that's and I was just like...
00:35:05
Speaker
I played it down. I was just like, nah, man, I'm just a guy that makes silly jokes. And he's like, no, you need to like, you're either for it or against it. And he he turned this into a thing where it's like, you're for fascism if you don't call for the like the death of this man. And I'm like, you're a fucking psycho. You're fucking psycho. That's what I wanted to say.
00:35:24
Speaker
if you have like what's wrong with it you want to If you want to live in one of those types of government, go to a country that has that type of government. Right. I don't want to live in that kind of society. I don't. i do not. I mean, for me, like, we're getting we're getting a little into my actual my actual opinions. Like, I would like to have socialized medicine, socialized education.
00:35:46
Speaker
You know, that I think the government should pay for those two things. Otherwise, leave me the fuck alone. Yeah. and That's exactly. And if that if that makes me a fascist, then fine. Whatever. right But my, but, or, or the alternative, make it affordable.
00:36:00
Speaker
Right. Right. Make it affordable. So if I do stay out of pocket, I'm not spending $300 just to see the doctor. I'm spending 60. Make it affordable. Yeah. There are people like, or so or socializing one of the two. It sucks that like so many people are afraid to call an ambulance. Yeah.
00:36:18
Speaker
because of how much it's going to cost, not because it's going to save their life. The Uber costs less to go to the hospital than the ambulance. Yeah, it does. Isn't that crazy? and i may be but i maybe ble I may be bleeding out, but if I live, it's going to be $25 versus $2,500.
00:36:31
Speaker
you know twenty eight hundred And now this Uber driver, has your their life is in their hands now. like That's not fair to the Uber driver. My insurance, I think going to the emergency room, $300.
00:36:42
Speaker
three hundred dollars Even if I go to like ah urgent care because it's not my doctor and network, it's $300 off the bat Yeah. And then it say and if and if I go to my doctor, if I go to my doctor, it's like a hundred something.
00:36:53
Speaker
Right. Right. It's, and it's, it's kind of insane. And I understand when other countries look at us like that, but look at, um, but look at education.
Economic Disparities: Education & Healthcare
00:37:01
Speaker
How many, how many of our generation, okay. Are in debt.
00:37:05
Speaker
Oh, how much hundred percent. All of us. I didn't finish school. Luckily I paid off my loans, yeah but if I finished school, I'd still be paying them off. Yeah. I'd still have loans. Yeah.
00:37:16
Speaker
It's it's wild. Yeah. and there are definitely people I know like and this is not a knock on these people, but there are people I know that have wealthy relatives. I have a friend who ah like their parents pay their rent.
00:37:32
Speaker
You can't like. And here's the thing. Like there are just people that have privileged privileged situations. Yeah. But yeah, it's just, yeah. If I could have paid rent, if I can't pay my rent, you know what my mother would have told me? Get another job.
00:37:47
Speaker
Yeah. Which I've done. I've had to work two jobs. She would have gave you James Charles reaction. Oh, get a fucking job. We can, we can end this like on a fun way. Cause we got a fun way. Cause I'm going to take off my shirt here with my titties. All right. Let's get, let's get into it guys.
00:38:10
Speaker
This is cold jokes. Ron and I write each other jokes and we read it for the first time. We've never seen these jokes before. So let's get on to it. I don't know. How many cold jokes do you have? Mine are two very bad ones. well What else is there? Sorry. you I think, hold on. I think this is right.
00:38:33
Speaker
Hold on. Don't read yet. Okay. I'm not, I'm not reading. Not looking at it. not looking at it
00:38:41
Speaker
Okay, that works. Go. All right, here we go. Jackson Dart, quarterback of the New York Giants, recently introduced Trump at a conference. now Now that he's done, that he's received a lot of backlash. If he loses his job, I heard Crumble is hiring. It's like the same job, working for a company that isn't as good as everyone thinks it is.
00:39:01
Speaker
Okay, there we go. That was probably the best Crumble bashing that I've seen. In while, in a while, yeah. I'm a little rusty, but that I think we're back now. All right. Go ahead, Robert, with your little cold joke.
00:39:15
Speaker
o His little cold joke. A little cold joke. Yeah, my name's Robert. I do a little cold joke. Yeah, that's me. All right. Here we Copy. There we go. Nope.
00:39:27
Speaker
You know, Robert, my whole life I was asked what's the asked the age old question. What comes first, the chicken or the egg? And which my response every time would be shut up, bitch. You know, I did.
00:39:38
Speaker
And then I'd call her an Uber and block her number.
00:39:44
Speaker
yeah Yeah. Wow. You're right. That was ah that was a good one. that was there you go here's Here's an applause for you buddy. right
00:39:54
Speaker
now You know what's you know it's crazy? That's more of an applause that ah than Trump gets at his rallies. anyway they was also such small He can't clap well for himself. Anyway, you got another one joke or was that the only one? No, I had one.
00:40:07
Speaker
Okay, here's my second one. You have a second one. Here we go. I have a second one. Oh, God, please be better. It probably won't. okay Okay. God, what the fuck? They say two is company, but three is a crowd. Well, I guess the amount of gluten beers it takes for me to blow up a toilet nowadays is one third of a crowd. You little cunt.
00:40:27
Speaker
You little cunt. That's a good one. All right. all right, guys. Thank you so much. As my stomach growls. Dying from your cold jokes. As my stomach growls. And i will right before this episode, we we get ready to record and I go, Rob, hold on. I'm about to shit myself. And yeah. That's true. Because apparently I ate something.
00:40:47
Speaker
that Something that made me break out in hives and... mess up with my allergies yesterday. I don't know. I'm like also slightly allergic to like shellfish. So whatever is in, I don't like pad Thai apparently Robert and that fish sauce, whatever it is. Uh, yeah, that's that but no, it's not because I love massaman curry. So fuck off. ah Um, yeah.
00:41:07
Speaker
Have you ever had Bellsmoke Curry? It's delicious. I think so. Oh, I did did go to a cool pizza place where they had Detroit-style pizza, that and they had a chicken tikka marsala dip sauce.
00:41:20
Speaker
It was fucking amazing. That sounds delicious, but that's Indian, not Thai. I know, but you said curry, so I thought of curry. Racist. So that I'm actually. Because there's Jamaican curry, Thai curry. I'm bringing races together. Indian curry. You're trying separate us. You're trying to separate us.
00:41:38
Speaker
You will not. united what What is this? United by curry? Is that what we're doing now? Stop dividing us, Ron. Stop dividing us. That actually sounds like a great campaign, united by curry. That actually sounds really good, and I would be for it 100%.
00:41:50
Speaker
hundred percent That is funny. Anyway, what do we have next, Robert? ah You got some sports stuff. I do have some sports. We have a i have my sports segment and then an additional part of the sports segment, which you and I will discuss, but I will speak in
Sports Update: NY Knicks & Wander Franco
00:42:05
Speaker
sports.
00:42:05
Speaker
We got a big sports thing right Big sports. We got a big sports. We got the biggest sports. All right, let's get into it, everybody. This is Ron with Sports.
00:42:19
Speaker
So for everybody that knows right now, the Canadians lost last night to the Carolina Hurricanes, which puts the series at two to one. The Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs are at a two and two. They will play tonight. But the big news in sports, the biggest are the New York Knicks are going to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, baby. Yeah, I am not a kni you i've been not a Knicks fan, but I will be cheering for the Knicks because it is fucking New York. Let's fucking go New York.
00:42:52
Speaker
Hell yeah. Bing bong. Let's go Knicks. Awesome. And that's me with sports. All right. All right right. That was the sports. The sports are over.
00:43:03
Speaker
But so ah and and there is an additional thing. And this hurts me as a fan of the team. ah As a Tampa Bay Rays fan, people may remember in the past that shortstop who has signed the biggest deal in Tampa Bay Rays history, Wander Franco, um a few years ago was um caught having a relationship with a 14 year old.
00:43:26
Speaker
In the Dominican Republic. No, Wander Franco. Wander Franco. Oh, both Francos did shit. The name I know. Sorry. Yeah, yeah. So here's what's interesting. He had a retrial a few days ago.
00:43:38
Speaker
can This is from Major League Baseball. This is the from MajorLeagueBaseball.com. Ray's shortstop, Wander Franco, was found guilty for the second time on charges of sexual and psychological abuse of a minor, but he will not serve time in prison, according to a verdict delivered Monday in the Dominican Republic.
00:43:57
Speaker
He was initially found guilty in 2025, received a suspending two-year sentence. Okay. Both sides appealed the ruling and a new trial was conducted. A three-judge panel found him criminally responsible, but issued a judicial pardon declaring that he was also a material victim, but not a legal one in the case, according to the Associated Press.
00:44:16
Speaker
Here's the fun part, Robert. This is where it gets kind of crazy. The minor's mother was initially convicted of trafficking her daughter, resulting in a 10-year prison sentence. The sentence was appealed, but the judge convicted the mother of trafficking on Monday, and I believe money laundering as well, and issued her a 10-year sentence.
00:44:38
Speaker
So, do you think that's how he got in touch with this girl? Potentially. that's That's kind of what they're saying, yeah. I mean, here's the thing, though. Okay? Okay.
00:44:50
Speaker
This woman comes up to you and says, take my daughter. Okay. She's 14. Right. Right. right What the fuck are you doing? Yeah. You know, I'm, I'm just saying like, the only thing i can see, the only thing I can see, and I don't defend this at all, but the only thing I can see is if he was told she was of a certain age of legal age and he went with it anyway, and then found out later And then he was kind of forced to pay the mom. That's the only thing can really see. Oh, yeah. If you're trying to find some kind of justification, yeah, I get it. But I think that running into a woman like that is exactly the person he was probably looking for.
00:45:32
Speaker
But here's my thing. You are... shortstop you are supposed you're you're a shortstop for a professional baseball team not any professional league major league baseball okay right you are with a team you just signed the so largest contract in this team and this team if you know the tampa bay rays we have no fucking money we always have the like the lowest salary gap however we are one of the best teams right now so let's go that's cool let's go right but what are you doing why would you get involved in this
00:46:02
Speaker
What's the whole fucking point? Yeah. you You're a professional player. You can have one me even can have anybody. You're young. you're in You're in great shape. can have anybody.
00:46:13
Speaker
But you took a 14 year old. What the fuck? You know what? I feel like when it comes to like people that get involved in like kind of this, like, I don't know. I don't know. This is a really deep argument. Um, because,
00:46:30
Speaker
don't know. Because one could say he already indulged in all that shit where he got any girl he wanted. And it's just not enough. He has to go into another dark realm. shorter for film And that is a very male point of view. you can have anybody yeah I get that. yeah But for the mom to get 10 years, i mean, if she actually trafficked her daughter, which it sounds like she did because this has happened. She got accused of this twice.
00:46:55
Speaker
Yeah. Or, you know, Wander Franco is, you know, professional baseball player, you know, represents the Dominican Republic. You know, there, of course, they're going to take care of him. But if she was trafficking her daughter. Yeah. 10 years. Fuck. Yeah. How dare you?
00:47:09
Speaker
And I mean, the poor girl. Let's look at the fucking victim here. Right. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Oh, my God. Who knows what's going through? I mean, I'm sure she has a lot of psychological trauma. The poor thing. Well, yeah, there's nowhere you can go. There's not a way where you can go. Everybody involved in abusing this girl should be put in fucking jail.
00:47:26
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Wanda Franco included. Mm-hmm. And it sucks because he was supposed to be like the future of the Rays. He was supposed to be like, how do I go? Like the Mike Trout of the Tampa Bay Rays. He was supposed to be the future of this team.
00:47:42
Speaker
And luckily we don't need him, but it's very upsetting because I think we spent more money on other people. Yeah. yeah Well, um that god that does suck. Yeah, but it's just weird that it's like, okay,
00:47:55
Speaker
He's a Q. He's it's he's proven guilty of sexually and psychologically abusing a girl, a minor. But the mom gets prison. Not both of you. Weird as fuck. It's a man's world. Is he just there is. i believe there's another trial that happened in June.
00:48:11
Speaker
i was like, that can't be it. yeah But I guarantee if he got away with it twice already, he'll probably get away with it again. Now, the question is, will he come back to Major League Baseball? Probably not. Probably not. He'll probably be stuck playing for leagues in other countries, which, you know, if he goes to Japan or Korea, that's fantastic because they pay well. Great, you know, great baseball countries. um Mexico even. But yeah, I mean, he he's probably might be fucked.
00:48:37
Speaker
yeah His career is definitely fucked. And it's so I think it was an 11 year, one hundred and eighty two million dollar contract, something like that. Yeah, it's, a I mean, I mean, maybe guys like that feel like they are invincible and they can get away with shit, you know, that money, money, money makes you a money makes you.
00:48:55
Speaker
It makes you feel invincible. really I mean, obviously, yeah look at the politicians in our country. h Yeah, there's there's definitely like that factor. Well, um I will just... ah I'll continue on. We are coming to the end of our episode, so
Success of Low-Budget Films
00:49:10
Speaker
i want to get through this. ah I just want to give a shout-out to the future of the film industry.
00:49:16
Speaker
um We have another video, another video another movie that... um That is doing extremely well. I still haven't seen it yet. It's called Obsession. Yeah, just heard about it. And was by... thought it was just made by someone who made Instagram reels. I'm sorry did not do my research on this. But the idea being that it didn't come from a studio who chose a big director to make a big movie. It was yet another example of just somebody...
00:49:46
Speaker
making a movie and it blowing up. and It was such a low budget film. I'm going to look up and I think it's, i think, I think, I think it is to become the, um, movie with the lowest, but like makes the most money kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:04
Speaker
It might have been like a million dollar budget. and I'm looking it up right now. Obsession. The budget. Oh my God, this is insane. ah This is obviously smashing records here. 750,000 to 1 million was the budget.
00:50:18
Speaker
So far the box office, it's made Robert 85 million. Wow. eighty According to Wikipedia, $85 million dollars on such a low budget. I mean, that...
00:50:30
Speaker
That is every filmmaker's dream is to have such a low budget film and to profit like that. That is, mean I mean, you look at the fucking Big Lebowski, I believe that was technically a flop in the theaters. Now it's, ah you know, I'm obviously part of the religion. So yeah, it's,
00:50:48
Speaker
Yeah. Congrats to them. But how they do how did they make the movie exactly? Robert, that's the thing. How did they do it? I mean, I think the guy had a following. So it's a matter of like getting investors, production companies involved. I don't know how many production companies were involved. A lot of times if you see like lower budget movies, the opening of the movie, you know, it shows like all these production companies, like five of them, because they all probably put in a piece of the pie, adding up to 750,000. And yeah,
00:51:14
Speaker
and you know And maybe if whatever he was able – I don't know this guy's financial situation, but if he had a big following, you know if he if he's at that James Charles status, hats the money maybe money. Maybe he fucking put money in it what and gave people fucking jobs.
00:51:33
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know what I was trying to do there. Click clack with the nails. Click clack with the nails. um What was that other low that other low budget film? It was a horror movie. It was like 10 second grandma or what was it called? or No, I know what you're saying. The Call or whatever it was. It's like a 10 second film and it's all it is is Are you talking about the dead grandma? grandma Yeah, a dead grandma. That's what it's called. yeah I think i talked about once before but look how much traction that got. that's and That's a short film.
00:52:03
Speaker
yeah And that was that fucking terrifying because i mean, my sister just had a baby. Okay. And all I can think of is, oh my God, that could be my mother lying on the back. And the scary thing was she kind of looked like my my mom.
00:52:15
Speaker
So that was fucking weird. So, if movies are the industry is definitely changing with the technology that we have to record something. I mean, look at us doing this podcast right now. My camera is my phone.
00:52:26
Speaker
I mean, how many music videos have been shot on phones and stuff now? I mean, yeah, the industry is changing and we can do these low budget films and put out good product. Yeah. I think Hollywood is going to have to rethink how they do it. Maybe go back to a little bit of their old, uh, find their roots again and instead of hashtagging everything. Yeah.
00:52:43
Speaker
and ray And having a sequel that's the original name as the first movie, like Fast and the Furious. Exactly. I'm a little bit of Scary Movie also. their Their new movie is called Scary Movie.
00:52:55
Speaker
and Yeah, Scary Movie 6, though. It's just called Scary Movie 6, right? i I saw it yesterday advertised a scary movie. Oh, I hope not. But I did like their popcorn bucket, which, by the way, I'm not a big fan of the popcorn bucket craze. I think that's just but I understand. I think that's a way for movie theaters to make money again.
00:53:13
Speaker
But sure but their popcorn bucket is like a giant bong, which is funny. um Oh, yeah. so That's cute. But ah um yeah, well, good luck to the Obsession crew. Good job. I guess we can end this. ah We do have one penetrating
Q&A: Baristas vs Flight Attendants
00:53:28
Speaker
question. So let's. ah We do have a PQ, baby. All right, let's do it.
00:53:40
Speaker

00:54:06
Speaker
um So we have a question, I think more directed at you from Coffee Bean Flicker. That's good. That's a good one. That's good. I mean you don't want to flick it, but that's great. No.
00:54:20
Speaker
But they ask, are baristas the flight attendants of the land?
00:54:28
Speaker
Yes. All right. Thank you. That's been trained questions, everybody. No, I mean, it's it's kind of the same job. You may't expect you don't deal with medicals and stuff like that, but it's kind of the same job. You're talking to people. mean it's it's any It's really any customer service job. You're talking to people. You're...
00:54:45
Speaker
you know You're listening to their problems. you know People are traveling, coming and going. I used to work at a coffee shop by a train station. so People are always coming and going, trying to catch their trains, point A to point B. um You're making their coffees. You're serving them food. Yeah, kind of. ah the bathroom is Showing them where the bathroom is. The only difference I would say is we aren't baristas aren't trained on evacuations. So I think that's, that's just get the fuck out. That's how, that's how they do it. We have a little bit more orderly way of doing it. And regardless, hopefully none of us ever have baristas or flight attendants ever have to do that. But, um, I happen to know this is a, this is a, a statement that was made on a podcast called girls gotta eat, I believe.
00:55:29
Speaker
Um, and they were talking about it. i thought it was really funny. um I did hear about this before. So that's funny. That's a good question. a good question i like yeah I like it. And as somebody who's done both, there's so many similarities. Yeah. yeah So many.
00:55:44
