Episode Date: December 20, 2023

Is it okay to give a tip if it's only in pennies? When you go to the car wash, do you get "The Works?" Then, Brad Williams is here to promote his new special "Starfish," take down Jeremy for wearing "elf face" on today's show, take us on a tour of his office, and celebrate his friend's mutton chops. Plus, Chris gets off to a rough start in our final segment as we get to "AGAINST! THE! SPREAD!" and a discussion on restaurant inflation. Learn more about your ad choices.

You're listening to Giraffeine's Network. This is the Dunlabel Tarshall with the StugatSpotCas. The comedian Brad Williams is going to join us here shortly. He's skyrocketing. He is growing in popularity. He has done a wise thing making him self-lebitard and Stugat show adjacent. He has increased his following. He's got a Netflix special. We will talk to him about that and other things. Actually, I don't think it's a Netflix special. We'll talk to him about wherever the hell it is. It's not Netflix, I think. But Stugots is rampaging now because he's

gotten to fire off some takes and now he wants to do top five quarterbacks who need to show him something this weekend. And he was pestering Billy saying, let's go to the top five room where Tony did his top five earlier, but Billy's like, I don't have confidence in the audio of that room. And it and Stugot saluted him for the maturity of that decision. Doesn't seem like maturity. It just seems like don't use a room here, where the audio doesn't work. But I heard something that I think is fairly shocking for Stugot. And I don't know what it is that he was talking about.

He said he was happy to overpay for something. And I didn't think Stugat's would be happy to overpay for anything. So what is it that you were talking about that you were just, you were, you were generally not someone who parts with money easily the way this works in terms of your relationship. I'm trying to take money. Yeah, with money is you get all of it and no one else gets any of it. That's generally your relationship with money. What are you happy to overpay for?

Express Lens. I am happy to overpay. I do it with a smile on my face, Dan. When you get to that junction where every single road turns to the 95 South and you need to get to the express lane so you could beat traffic so you can get to the station on time or get to these studios on time. The other day, I am telling you the traffic was so bad. The express lanes were set at $10 at $75.

Oh, that's the highest I've ever seen it. And I drove through it with a smile on my face. I said, we. And then as soon as you got into them, you came to a complete stop. Yep. I did. Yeah. It's the worst. One lane goes down on the express lane and you are sitting in traffic for two and a half hours, wondering why you spent 1075. There are a few things in life that make me as angry as watching regular traffic zoom by me as I sit in this express lane bumper to bumper. Put it on the pole, please, dude. Do you get unreasonably angry as you are in the paid lane and traffic in the non paid lane is speeding past you? I will

tell you guys, when the bronze first came down here, LeBron weighed in Bosch. They would set the express lanes and like $25, $30 on game. No, I've seen it. Roy knows. I'm super bulls. It's really, really. I've never seen it as high as I had seen it. You live right next to the arena. The highest I've seen it was like $7. I've never seen it. What? I took a $10 the other day. No, no, no. The highest I've seen is $12. No, I feel like I've seen a hundred. All right, there's that was game seven. No for real. Why would I make that up? What would I get out of that? What? You get my jolly's off.

I like it. It's just You know, you gotta yell at him. You gotta get mad at the billy's right about that. He's not right. He might be right. It's never been a hundred dollars. It's not that's not a thing. You just made it up and yes, you got your jolly's off. That's what you like to do. That's where you get your jolly's off is right there, just being an asshole. It's Christmas time, so I've done it. My nomination is getting my car cleaned. I am always going to overpay for that.

I don't want just the $22. You're going to vacuum and clean up the works. I want, hey, I'm selling this thing. Words. I want, I'm selling this thing. I want you to take two hours to do this. Do you feel it? Do you feel, I feel ridiculous sometimes when I give the finger guns and I'm like, I want

the works. But yeah, but that's what it's called. Really get in there. Really get in there. It's called the works, right? Bill, you know, it's awfully quick, Billy. That was not two minutes. There's a meeting in there.

Oh, yeah. Should've gone to the top five room. I want to go there. There's a meeting in the battle, the Vonks. There's nothing more infuriating than spending money to get your car clean and then you get back in your car and the little like cubby, the little like slot and then butch in your door is not cleaned. It's like, you got to get every inch of this thing.

When it's detailed. Yeah, like when you get the works. Right, right. I'm talking about the interior. Like I don't want like this, this is just the vacuuming, like no, no, no. I want you getting in every crack. What do you get for the works?

Everything. You get what the scam I feel like. It's not a scam. No, I'm trying to tell you. I mean, it's a complete detailing. It is a wax. It's everything that place offers is what it is that you're getting. It's going to take hours and it's going to be probably more than $100.

If you want to get everything. And then they look at you for the tip on top of that. And if you're anything like me, like I leave all of that until the last moment where I just can't take it anymore, how dirty my car is. So the works is the only option. Like I need everything done to this car right now. Speaking of tipping at a car wash, what do you guys do? Do you hand the guys who were, you know, cleaning off the car at the end? You hand them the money or do you put it in the drawer?

The place I go, there's like a big bin that's like, I don't like putting it in the bin, though. I like them to know that I have put money into the, I have to stand there and be like, oh, you show them, okay? Until I see eye contact with the guy doing my car like, all right, there it is. You saw it. The problem with this, those stugots, is that most people listening to this are no longer dealing with cash tip transactions. So it's, you have a Venmo. This is something, this is something that has happened that has taken away some of the personal human touch involved with making sure that the person you're giving your generosity knows selfishly

that you're the giver of that generosity. It's most important during this holiday season of giving to make sure the most important thing is that people know you're the giver, not the giving, but that you're the giver. What's the point of being generous if no one knows? Put it on the pole at Labotarch. So what's the point of being generous if no one knows? How do you do the thing when it's like you are paying with cash and something you paid for was $1.97.

So you hand them $2 and they give you back three pennies. It's always a sad move of dropping those three pennies in a tip jar, like, hey, take my trash. Don't spend it all in one place. There you go. I went to a Chinese spot the other day and I had 50 bucks in cash that I had somehow, I don't know. But it ended up being $39 and like 97 cents or 96 cents.

So the guy gave me two tens or two fives and four pennies. And I was like, I cannot give this guy four pennies, but I'm also not giving five bucks. I feel like an easy five. I mean, five. I think I'll next up. Feels like an easy five. You, uh, you have to ask for your fives to be returned in singles in that spot.

I have felt great guilt of throwing four cents in the jar when what is in the wake of the jangling echo is a thank you when I don't deserve it. I don't. You just take a, you then grab a hundred and just put it in there like I find you should thank that. You know how much change just gave me you know that I just threw it in. It didn't rattle in the way that's sad penny sound. It was, it was, it was penny falls much differently than a quarter. It feels different to like when there's just a normal tip jar. I don't feel that bad about it. But if it's a tip jar that's like, Hey, these are for student loans or where they're trying to guilt you into it, whether it's trying

to say like, Hey, this is what the tip is actually for. That's when I kind of, I end up feeling bad about it. There's also this time of year of, would you like to round up on your purchase for donation? I'll give you tea in December. That's it. You get it in December. Don't ask me any other month. Right. But do they get it around it? I'll round up a dollar in December.

I'll find what is it for? The charity thing. All right. Fine. Let's do that. If if we were a show in which the producers didn't all have microphones and were required to, you know, produce, somebody would have found for me by now the highest ever sun pass.

Most I've found is 10.50. I've been looking for the 100 for like 10 minutes. 10.50 was the other 10.50 a couple times. And I'm looking specific to Miami. So other places mate, I'm telling you I saw $100. You did not. I'm telling you I paid $50 for. He gave.

No, I'm telling you you're both wrong. And I believe that what happened to Billy is that he was driving without his glasses. So it was $10 and it looked like a hundred because nobody is paying a hundred dollars. It was empty. I mean, you're going to get there quick. I do want to talk a little more though about what is correct with tipping. You have heard me before, Stugat, say that I find it generally infuriating that a place will not take my cash, that they say they are card only, but then I see the jar next to the cash register

for tips. And that absolutely takes cash. I've seen it a number of different times, it is offensive to me as someone who believes in the power, the power of the American dollar. It's offensive to me, but you can't just throw three cents in there. Can you like what is, you can't, if, if the way that we're doing this is you've gotten a penny for change, you throwing it in there is the same as throwing it in the garbage. Is it not? Does anyone now Listening to us right now would anyone see the value of me giving them a penny? I've told you before that I'm a big change guy if you guys have change I'll take it all right now I picked up a nickel on the floor the other day was my first time since COVID that I picked up change from the floor

It was such a beautiful moment. Wow. I asked Wayne Heizanga one time as one of the world's wealthiest men, the lowest denomination of currency who would bend over to pick up off the floor. And he said, a penny. He said, he would bend that. I know you, yes, you, I know, are more dismissive of a penny than Wayne Heizanga is. But will you put a penny in that jar and not feel guilt? Like to me, you're better off walking away with the guilt of not giving someone anything at all than they've given you one penny

in change and you've just dumped what is the equivalent of debris in their job. I feel like if it's going from their hand to yours and in one motion, your hand takes it from them and sweeps it all into the tip chart, that's just like, I'm giving you whatever's here. I'm sorry that this time it happened to be four cents, but this is my routine. I take it from your hand into the jar. I don't even think about it. It's just my process. I feel like you can get away with it. I feel like you shouldn't feel bad. You should feel good about giving something because some people put all that shit in their pocket and go home. Here's the thing about pennies. If you collect 1,550 of them on August 29th, 2018,

you could have taken the express lane in Atlanta, because it was 1550. Oh wow. I have a confession to make. So there was one time we came back from our honeymoon in Thailand, and Thailand deals in a lot of coins. Brock COVID, possibly.

And there was one time where I had a bunch of things. You did not put Taiwanese currencies. There was one time I was picking up food and I just had it in my pocket from those pants or whatever. And I dropped in like a bunch of coins. You tricked us like, let's go. You had a flat. You put the tight coins.

You, you, you, you, that is almost like right on the custom of fraud. You left there feeling good about yourself though, because it's not just that you're a giver, but you got to wait with something. It sounded the same. The guy was so happy, he's like, wow, thank you, Van, I was like, you got it.

I will always, if it's a couple of pennies, I will throw in a dollar with it. You have to. Because I cannot simply throw it. But $5? You're rich, Dan, a dollar for you. That's like that's it. Dan a dollar $5 is too much Tony. I'm looking for pens that couldn't do it. I couldn't do it five dollars. No, if your choice is between Tony said he had two fives and four cents and

He's boxed in at that point because I would ask for change and now now I'm Make around the scroll Dan Levin's art ask for change in a inefficient transaction the at that point because I would ask for change. And now now I make on this girl Dan Lebertard asked for change in a, an inefficient transaction. The guy's going for the $5 tip. Rap course now saying that Aaron Rogers is getting activated off in jewelry. Oh, what is happening? Get out of here. Loser. Don Lebertard.

Yes, you can't talk about a doubleit national titles when every single call of you winning the national title. It sounds like this. Oh, there's a stepping checker running down this high line. It's a real, yeah. And there's a wolf-wool-two veteran pitching into another white guy and he avoids another white guy. Oh my god, another name.

The fighting hybrids have done it again for the eighth time. They're not playing white people. I was having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time. I'm having a good time.

I'm having a good time. I'm having a. All right, his name is Chubby. Maybe you didn't hear me correctly. His name is Chubby Chakras. It's an S at the end. I feel like that should be the largest of five. And Chubby Chakras, it sounds like a college football name. This is the Dalabatar show with the Stugat. MUSIC Red Williams, our friend, has a new hour long special.

It is called Starfish. It will premiere Thursday on the live nation streaming platform called Veebs. V-E-E-P-S. He is with us now. He is joining us from what looks like a very sad office perhaps in the back of a comedy club of some sort. It doesn't look like it's the height of entertainment wherever it is that he is. Where are you and is that a calendar?

Is that an old timey old fashioned calendar behind your substantive forehead? This is my office. This is how I've been regulated to in my house. I have a lovely, wonderful new home, which my wife has decorated immaculately. And this is my corner, my sad calendar, which is filled by the way. It could be less, yeah, it could be more sad if it weren't filled. You're very busy. You're a, you're a, you are a very popular comedian, very successful right now touring the country with many dates all over the country. You would not know that from this setup. Right now it looks very sad. And this is why you need to go to Veebs.com and get this

special because I got to upgrade my office. I got to send the Asian dwarf baby to college one day. So yes, get this special. You guys put a book about a lion. You fans put a book about a lion from Greg Cody at the bestseller list. You can't show up for a comedy special, which is going to make you laugh. So I need the Levitard fans to show up show out so I can, so I can, so I can upgrade my office and be way less sad. And by the way, what the hell is going on in the back row of the shipping container right now? Well, are you talking about Tony, Billy or Jeremy? I'm looking at one Jeremy Tashay. Listen, my people have gone through a lot right now. We got kicked out of snow white. We got kicked out of the new Wonka movie. We got tall people

taking our jobs left and right. And then you come in Jeremy in L face. What is this? Oh, it's not a costume. I'm an elf. Well, technically, I'm a human, but I was raised by Elves. You're an elf. I haven't seen you at any of the meetings. Good God, man. He's an angry elf. Are you offended? Are you on behalf of your community? Is it cultural appropriation or what is the equivalent? Yes. He, this is cultural appropriation. And I don't care if you're like, but it was a gridded death punishment. All right, if they had some other offensive gridded death punishments,

would you have done that? Would you have dressed up like Dr. Ken Jong from the hangover and gone full? Would you have done that? Why is it okay to do to my people? We're losing jobs left and right Jeremy. He must be a South Pole elf. I can't stand this man. You're not alone. Let's play for the people here. I got my friend Jeff Miller who you ran into on an airplane going somewhere, sent me a photograph with you and with this video of you at the Denver Broncos game. The Broncos, I believe also sent this out. The Broncos are big fans of Brad Williams. Let's play for the audience this video of a very happy Brad Williams

against this video of a very happy Brad Williams back before they were losing to the lion. Just crushing it. By several touchdowns. Very confident. Are you a very confident dancer, Brad? Yes, I'm a very confident dancer. And when a dwarf dances, whatever I do looks like a win. Just whatever happens is like, wow, good for him. He did it. Well done. So the amazing part about that video is if you look at it. The sidebar is on the guy next

to you. Yes. The guy sitting next to me has button shops. He looks like a captain in Andrew Luxe army and he is listening to the song Who Let The Dogs Out? Yes, that's correct. That is the most impressive thing about that video, not the dwarf dancing, but the fact that a middle-aged man with mutton chops is rocking out to Who Let The Dogs Out. That man is an American hero and should be celebrated accordingly. That is an excellent reference by you, Andrew Lux army, because I did not even notice

that guy because of how vigorously you were dancing and because of how you commanded the stage with your dancing. That I somehow did not notice a man who absolutely looks like A-hab. It's not just Andrew Lux Arming, that man looks like he spent a lot of time at sea in the 1920s. Yes, that's my friend Rob. He's actually the master distiller of Metallica's whiskey called blackened and he should be getting his flowers for holding his own next to a dwarf dancing to the Baja men. That is your friend, you two walking into a place. I imagine creates something of a visual stir, you and him. I've found out that if you add me with just about anyone,

when we walk into a place, it's like, okay, what's happening here? My opening act on the road is a fantastic comedian, Chris Assena, Mike Siena, his name is JB Ball. He, there's Rob, look at that sexy man with his mutton chops. Rockin' him, that's how you know he's a man. He his mutton chops rocking them. That's that's how you know he's a man.

He rocks mutton chops confidently. But my opening act is a comedian, great comic named JB Ball, who is about a six foot three black man. And sometimes we walk into towns and we're like looking around like, ah, look at the riff rap in this town. And then we have to pause for a second and go, all these people just watched a dwarf and a six foot three black band walk into their town together. What's their reaction?

What is the story of these mutton chops? How old are they? Clearly, they're a distinguishing feature for this person. And for the audio audience to got, I don't know how i would explain this but imagine that santa clauses bearded uh... just stopped as it got toward his ten uh... uh... i know him like a reverse go to it is uh... it is i don't know how to explain this to the audience can you help me with this bread because they are about the thickest mutton chops i've ever seen and i imagine they've been a distinguishing feature for this gentleman for many years.

Yes. When Rob and I walk into an establishment together, we look like hipster Santa and hipster elf. Like we look like the Santa in the elf that just aren't caring anymore. And by the way, this is a really tough time for me, Jeremy. In addition to you being an elf, you can take off that outfit and go to a mall and blend in. Okay, I can't go to the malls nowadays because everyone just assumes I work there.

I get thrown in a line. I get asked where certain things are. This is the second worst time of the year to be a dwarf, the second worst time of the year. What's the worst? The worst time of the year is obviously St. Patrick's Day. I hate that holiday. You guys can go out, have a lot of fun. Chris Cody, you're feeling me on this as a ginger.

You guys can go out, have the fun, drink the beer. I don't leave my house on St. Patrick's Day because people just get drunk and stare at me and goes, he knows where it is. It's not good. I don't leave my house. people just get drunk and stare at me and goes, he knows where it is. It's not good. I don't leave my house. Uh, uh, St. Patrick's Day is the dwarf version of the purge. Put it on the pole. Please is a great poll.

Is St. Patrick's Day and put in parentheses, the bread Williams asked the question. It is St. Patrick's Day, the dwarf version of the purge. Your special is dropping December 21st. Is that symbolic? Is that is that done on purpose? Yes, because that December 21st is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. Look at that marketing. Look at that. You're good. Done it and done. So on the winter solstice, you will think of me and you will go to Veebs.com and you will get the special starfish. Now, unfortunately, I called my special starfish without remembering that limp biscuit released an album called Chocolate Starfish in the hot dog flavored water. So now everyone thinks that the name of my special is a reference to anal. Excellent.

Yeah. That is what I think of a second when I think of starfish. The first thing I think of is the starfish, but that's second limb biscuits, asshole reference to starfish. How much time, Brad, did you spend thinking about the decor in your office? About 31 seconds. That shows how about a light bulb? I mean, listen, the sad part is, is I'm going to turn this over. Oh, no. Over here, there's a, there's a lovely painting of Robin Williams, which would be an even better background.

That would be a great background. You can control that. Yeah, why are you using that? Why is the calendar your background? I have a desktop. It's plugged in. I can't yank it off the wall and put it over there. The microphone is attached to the desktop.

I want the audio to be good more than the visual. That's why I chose this sad, Milton from office space corner in my house, in my office, and not the giant, lovely painting of a comedic hero who once gave me the greatest compliment of my life when he met me, saw my act and called me pro-zac with a head. Can you tell us please how it's going for you with other comedians who are famously competitive about things, famously jealous, famously insecure. You're rising in a way that's obvious to everyone.

You have had great success here recently. I believe this is the very top of your career so far. May it continue to climb, but how is this going over in the competitive world of other competitive comedians? Uh, so far so good, but I was at the comedy store a few nights ago, and there was a comic who saw me and said, man, I've been seeing your ticket sales and seeing the venues that you're playing. God, I wish I was a dwarf.

That would really help out my career. And I just thought to myself, you can have it. By the way, you, you, you, you, you can have it. Like you can wipe your own butt. I have back problems. I have T-Rex arms. I have bidets in my house. That is what helps me. I take showers on the road. And if it's ever a situation where neither of those are available, I go on Craigslist and try to find someone with a very specific fetish. You can take the dwarfism, okay? You can have it.

I'll write other jokes. By the way, if you want to be disabled as a hook, I don't know, there's tools to help you do that. You can do that. What an insult though. I'm sorry. But Dave's plural sounded kind of like a flex though. We're going to be honest. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's trying to flex on not being disabled. I, it's fine. You, you can go out and, and you, you can solve an arm. You, you can be like that guy in 127 hours and presto, you have a brand new 20 minutes. Okay. So it, it, it, it, it's hurting you that much.

Go out and really take a chance. Were you hurt by this? Like did you walk away from that saying, what kind of asshole says that to me is if I don't have any other talent other than being short? Yeah, I kind of hurt, but you know what, that's okay. I'm okay with it. I know that I do other jokes in my act. I know that I don't just stand on stage for an hour

and say I can take a bath in a thimble. That's weird, like that's not my material. So I'm confident in myself and whatever excuses that particular comedian has to make as to why they're not as successful, that's okay. But I'm confident in myself. I'm confident in my special starfish which would be streaming on Veepe's tomorrow.

And I'm confident going out on tour in 2024. We have over 70 dates booked. I'm booked New Year's Eve 2024. That's how far in advance. And it's pretty nuts. So I'm thanking all the fans that come out. And especially fans of this show, because they I do a meet and greet after every show.

And they always come up and say, Hey, Brad, I get the show. And that is awesome. I always love hearing that. Who said it, Brad? Thank you. Not. Right.

Now he's going to hear this and text me. Now it now he's going to think that I out in him. Damn it's going to be. The new hour long special is called starfish. We tell fans of this show to support the people who support us. Veepe is the live nation streaming platform and it premieres tomorrow. Thank you, Brad. Good seeing you. Always a pleasure, guys.

Thank you so much. Jeremy, I'd better be with the meetings. See you there. Don Lebatard.

It's just cute He thinks that he makes those decisions. I don't think he's going to play it would be moronic even by the standards of moron that the

Jets generally produced for 40 years to play. They're activating him just so he can say he was active. This is all assinite. Well, it's part of his rehab process. He can't be on the practice field, which they view as invaluable to his teammates. So this is a technicality so that he's allowed to interact with them. I'll buy this loser. Tony, Tony, please give me something, give me some information against the spread. Dan, today, for Against the Spread, brought to you by HMS Bonds and Draftkings, we're going to be taking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfields who have been playing excellent against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a battle for Florida, Dano.

Minus one taking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just FMS bonds. Billy?

I didn't want to give them the whole shout. I mean, that's where I work. That's where, you know, I know. I know. That's where it was. Wow. That's where I was slinging munis. Yeah.

Wow. Billy, what are was slinging munis. Yeah. Wow. Billy, what are you doing against the spread? I'm going to take the Giants plus 11 and a half against the Eagles. Christmas day, Miracle Dan, you never know what's going to happen. It's a big spread. I'm not saying they're going to outright win the game. Right.

11 and a half, though, is a lot of points. You're just doing it again. Yeah. Yeah. I was so tempted to do charges against bills, but I'm not going to get crazy. Do gots, what do you got? Dan, big game this weekend. Big game this weekend.

Some might say a super bowl preview. Ravens 49ers. In San Francisco, Ravens getting five points on the road. I believe in Baltimore. I don't believe in San Francisco. Therefore, I am taking Baltimore to not only cover the five points, but to win the game outright. I am taking the Ravens plus five against San Francisco against the...

So you don't believe in San Francisco against the whoo. So you don't believe in San Francisco. Yeah, not now. You're the only person watching football who doesn't believe that the San Francisco 49ers are great. Mm-hmm. We'll see how it plays out. I mean, gotta stay healthy. I don't know if they're gonna stay healthy.

Brock Purti needs to do it in the playoffs. I don't know if he can do it in the playoffs because I've never seen him do it so I have a game here that Billy said he didn't want to get crazy with but I'm gonna stand to go a little crazy The Buffalo Bills are minus 11 and a half Against the L.A. Chargers. They've been playing incredible football. I'm petrified of them as a dolphins fan Buffalo Bills minus 11 and a half. Wow. Tony's laughing. Yes, the spray. Tony is laughing because he heard what Chris Cody whispered in my ear while you

were talking, which is the following. The start of that segment is going to sit with me for a while. Does somebody need a hug? We've all been there. It's only followed by I am going to take the sixers. They are playing the T wolves tonight. And I'm going to take the sixers minus three and a half. The Timberwolves are very good. They've only lost five times all season.

Just played last night. I like what you're thinking here. Huh? Um, but they played a couple of nights. I. Just played last night. I like what you're thinking here, huh? But they played a couple of nights. I hope they played last night. It was a couple of nights ago. I think I got that wrong.

Yeah, that couple of nights ago. You got that wrong. It was a contribution that was useless and wrong. Not helpful in any way, and also as an added bonus, all so long. Thank you for your non-help. Help. I was trying to support you. I think in Anthony Edwards for Ty non-help help. I was trying to support you.

I know. Anthony Edwards for titles. I didn't realize he was 22. I'm thinking about five, maybe six even. Please support me. You're an accurate information. Well, Jordan has eight, my personal record. I saw the other day that Bloomberg reported something

that I haven't noticed, but I'm assuming that the audience has noticed, because yes, there has been inflation all over the place in ways that are uncomfortable and make me sad And while I had noticed, obviously that everywhere prices have gone up on everything, I had not noticed that it was that much. Had you noticed, Stugots, that it was that much because the pandemic has changed any number of things, including just restaurants being able to stay in business. I've said this before,

I don't know if the audience knows this, but it is such a hard way to make a living, the restaurant business, the Hulu series, the bear that shows you sort of the frenzy of it, 80% of restaurants fail. You just open it, you got all your dreams in there, you got to work so much of the time just to keep it open and keep your employees functioning

and day to day you're running on a treadmill and 80% of the time you get failure. Your finances are gone and you're doomed. Had you noticed that it was at 24%. I haven't noticed if it was 24%, I just noticed that I'm paying a lot more for food at restaurants and at the grocery store than I was, I don't know, six months ago. So yeah, noticed it.

Well, three years. It's the pandemic that fast, it's sort of fast forwarded all this stuff. The bear you talk about this show, I've worked in the restaurants. That is such a crock that show. It is not that intense in restaurants. Every episode of this show, it is the most intense thing. And I've been in these in in kitchens before. It's not short staffed Chris. It's just the franticness of that show is exhausting. It is one of the signature staples of that show.

It's all it's that way on purpose to give off the the the tumult that he want nothing going on when you watch the show. I get what you're saying that a show about a boring restaurant wouldn't be as entertaining. You know, just like cards at the back. Hang it out. A lot of people like are like, man, that's I can't believe that's what restaurants are like. And they're not. Well, wait a minute. What job did you do? Were you in the kitchen? I was F.O.H. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Front of the house. Look at that face. I got to put in front of the house. But the the general undercurrent of the bear, the thing that face. I got to put him for a house. But the general undercurrent of the

bear, the thing that I remember about that show is that they elevated the stress to a place that you could feel it watching on television. It's what, it's what they were going for. The Jamie Lee Curtis hour long episode that starred Odin Kirk and all of those famous people. What they're going for is just flogging you in the face with the intensity of a stressful atmosphere. I don't generally think of restaurants in Miami as having very good service or having people who are happy working there because so much of the clientele can be rude and mean and treat people poorly.

I don't think of them as happy environments generally except for the places that have the best customer service and there are not many of them. I just can't believe that prices have gone up that much in restaurants. Like everyone is gonna feel, I'm assuming everyone listening to this is saying, yeah, I felt the price hike.

I just didn't know it was that much. You mentioned the Jamie Lee Curtis episode. That's the second episode, the second and last episode of season two. That was someone of the greatest minutes of television I've ever seen. I was brick and bat levels that episode. My wife was the other day like, man, we can't go out to dinner for under a hundred bucks anymore. I'm like, oh, three glasses of wine didn't help.

Oh, yeah. They've also put up the number of alcohol. That's creeped up easily. You know, if you're an elf like me, you don't really have to worry about the prices going up, because we stick to four main food groups, candy, candy canes, candy corn, and zero out of here. Shut up, Jeremy. You speak for all of us, Tony. speak for all of us Tony.
