with a new bank. Oh yeah. And he went in to do it and you know, I was quite impressed. He got all of his business together. He didn't just throw his hands up and say,

I don't know how to do this. There's no man like you who just asks you or he just absolutely calms it off. And Sade said to him, I'll come in with you. And he's like, no, no, I'm going to go do it. So he went to do it, went into the bank,

said, I would like to open a bank account. And the bank said to him, you can't do that in a bank. Now, how fucking cooked is that? Also, this is a guy with a lot of money. Like, yeah. You want me. He doesn't look like it. No, he doesn't look like it. But this is a guy with a lot of money. Like, yeah. You want me. He doesn't look like it. No, he doesn't look like it.

But this is a guy, you've just turned away a man with a lot of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you didn't know it. Yeah. What? So how, what is he going to do? It wasn't like he didn't have, because he was still in the bank and he rang shout out and he's like, do you know you can't open a bank account in a bank anymore?

Is it just this bank? It might just be this bank. I don't know because Carwen said this happened to her as well. She went in. Right. You had to do it all online

then go into the bank with an ID or something? It's like, well let me fucking do it while I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. Well some banks have terminals

like computers that you can launder on maybe. Some do but little spots. Yeah. Because you have to go and prove that you're real for money laundering purposes so you don't money launder on maybe some do but little spots yeah because you have to go and prove that you're real for money laundering purposes

so you don't money launder that's what I said shut up I said I thought you had to go in yeah because but you're fucking there

he's there he's got his he's got his like three forms of ID yeah he's got like addresses he's got everything

he's got everything it wasn't like the most organised he's ever been and he couldn't do it Yeah That's wild They wouldn't let him do it

It is this like It was cop He was drunk Sade And Sade's like Oh dad you've made a mistake He's like I haven't Which usually he would've If he said I haven't

Yeah And so she's like Pass the phone to someone in the bank Yeah So yeah This person's like Oh yeah no you can't open A bank account in the bank anymore

And Sade's like Do you realise How fucked that is? Also, the person working there, it's not their choice. But also, oh, my gosh. But also the banks making their billions of dollars profit per quarter, putting these poor people out front to deal with frustrated people and being like, what the fuck are you talking about?

Yeah. How can you not open a bank? A bank account. That's stupid. Yeah. That's nuts. Well, they're closing all the branches. I guess, is this a way of being like,

well, you couldn't do anything in the branch anyway. Who cares? Handy. But like old people, I mean, granted, I said to Shana, you think about how many people who aren't capable of doing it online, even like once you're over 60,

you're not opening a new bank account, are you? Nah. You've probably got your accounts you've had forever. You're starting to tie up your odds and ends and getting ready to die. But yeah, what can you even do in a bank? You start winding down. What's that winding down? You start winding down.

Get some slippers. Like a cat you're sleeping on. You shuffle around. You start shuffling around. But yeah, what can you do in a bank anymore? I mean, the coolest thing, our local bank, granted, it's only open two days a day for, two days a week for about three hours each day,

but you can take a bucket of coins and then tip it in a machine and the machine automatically counts the coins. Oh, that's fun stuff. Do you know what? I went the other day though

and I got some cash out and they didn't even have an envelope. I was like, can I have an envelope? They said no. And I was like, so I'm just going to carry this cash out. They're like, yeah.

And I was like, all right. Well, they didn't put it in one of those old plastic cash bags. They didn't have them, Vaughn. What are they good for? No, because I've had envelopes before. No. Did you put it in your bra?

Yeah, I had to stuff it. And it was a fair amount of money. Stupid. Jesus Christ. I looked like a stripper walking out the mall. Because a stripper's strip at the mall. Oh, the bank was at the mall.

I was like, where am I supposed to place this strip? No, because I've got cash between my titties. Yeah, good stuff.
