145 - I Can Only Get So Hard

So, Sunday, I missed my flight in New Orleans. It's 10PM. Gotta go check into a hotel. Have to get up at 03:30 for my next flight, walk up to the, counter, and this angry old little man is just screaming at the front desk lady or dude. And it's just like we're we're to the point where I'm swiping my card, and this guy's still screaming about his coffee pot in his room.

Like, dude, it's 10:00. I just and, like, usually, we've talked about this before. When I carry a firearm, I just don't share any shit. It just keeps myself well. I was in a place where I didn't carry a firearm.

So and then annoyed because I missed my flight. I look at him. I go, shut the fuck up. Because what did you say to me, motherfucker? I said, you heard me.

Shut the fuck up. And he comes over, and he starts walking with me. He's like, we could take this outside. And my wife who's four foot ten and a half pushes him and says, no. You won't get the fuck out of here.

He throws his tail be hit between his legs, and he just walks off.

And just to clarify, did you miss your flight, or did you miss your flight?

It's complicated situation.

What's going on? It's time for another episode of too hard for the radio. Transmitting from the future free state of Greater Idaho where if you drive by my house late at night, you will see me zee kiling naked in my hot tub. Am I more than three quarters hard? Come and find out.

We've also got Daniel Steele. That was a terrible

have a hot tub.

That was terrible. I I I was hoping it would go

to funny. I'm like, how do I fucking follow that? Jesus Christ. I was about to talk about strawberries.

Yo, man. Naked in the hot tub. See Kyle in like a motherfucker.

Wrong hand.

Yeah. I know. But, you know, it's it's physical therapy. Yeah. And this is what I this this is my exercises.

Oh, for the, because the ski

actually. Yeah. Yeah. And, like snowboarding. And and it goes great and, like, it's great to do it in the hot tub because I'm all loose and, like, able to I can only get it, like, here right now.

Maybe a little more, but, like, once I'm in the hot tub for a few minutes, I'm, like, almost all the way.

Almost all all the way

there for the fear. I know. Oh, so how's life been treating you? How we doing?

Really good. I, I've been working a lot, so I haven't paid too much attention to the news. But also Me neither. It it's given me a a good, like, look in perspective, you know, because, like, I over the past two years, I've been very reactionary to every headline, like, and then, like, drawing a conclusion on it like this, this, this. And what I like, stepping back, seeing that it doesn't matter what Trump does.

Trump's deporting 10% less people than Biden did on a month, five month basis. He there's no Epstein files that, like but there are people on the other side of the aisle that it doesn't matter what he does. Their mission is to, like, fight that.

Yeah.

And I got to thinking, how retarded is it to think that a libertarian would ever be able to get anything done in this system ever? Other than jerking each other off talking about Ancapistan, like, even if they got more than 3% of the vote, they got 51% or whatever, they would never be able to move any policy. It like, the it's now my opinion that the Libertarian Party is the biggest waste of time other than maybe the Green green party.

Yeah.

But, it it's just like it's just I didn't vote for Trump. I don't care about him. Some of his policies, I like. A lot of them, I hate. But just seeing like, there that's the closest thing that we'll ever have to an outside candidate in my lifetime.

And he he just can't do anything. He's completely neutered.

Yeah. He

got he oops. Sorry. He can bomb Yemen. Yeah. Nobody's mad about that.

Yeah. No. I I have far more faith that Bitcoin will help fix the system than the libertarian party. And I'm not saying that Bitcoin fixes everything like a lot of these maxes. Oh, just wait.

Bitcoin. Like, I'm not I'm not saying that. But, like, I think we've got a much, like, better chance of going to hard money and maybe eliminating some of the fiat systems through Bitcoin rather than, like, the Libertarian Party. Because at least normal people can, you know, can participate in the Bitcoin system whereas, like

I mean, that's what

we do. Anything. You know? We're not doing anything.

Well, the like, the idea of okay. So I put my money into this Bitcoin system. If I left it in the S and P, it would gain 10% a year. Gold's doing way better. But when the stock market crashes, so does Bitcoin.

It's, like, completely tie it's part of the financial system now. For sure.

It's And like I said, I don't think that it's going to fix everything. I think that it it's probably our best our best vehicle to teach people about hard money and inflation and and all the things that are really destroying the country. And, you know, this is a long game. Like, the whole fucking what what's that, what's that libertarian mag Reason Magazine, freedom in our lifetime? It's like, come on.

You guys are fucking ridiculous. You don't get anything done. Reason is a laughing stock amongst libertarians. Think about how much of a laughing stock they are with the Beltway crew. You know, like, this is these are these are ridiculous people who are never going to get any we have one chance with the Libertarian party.

One, it was taken over. Dave Smith runs, gets on Rogan a bunch of times, and maybe gets 10% of the vote. Maybe. If if But the very lucky.

And then Don't let let's

say it goes well. And everybody just went to the gay cowboy.

No. Let let let's say it goes well for Dave Smith.

And 10% is as well as you could imagine. Right?

No. No. No. Let let's talk in fantasy because I know you like those fantasy movies and shit.

Yeah. Yeah.

You have Harris versus Trump. Trump does something complete to completely alienate the base, and there's no alternative other than Dave Smith, big dick Dave Smith. Yeah. And he wins. He gets in the office?

Bang.

No. He's neutered. Like, he just it it doesn't matter what you do. It doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter if you survive assassination attempts, whatever.

You just have to work within the system. And, like, it seems like they're trying, but are they? Where's the Epstein list?

It's on her desk. Don't worry, Dan. It's on her desk. No.

No. It's like there's reports. They're just destroying the file.

Yeah. For sure. But she but she said it's on her desk. You know? Yeah.

And, like, there's there's people who are against him no matter what he does. You know, the TDS crowd, and I think we'll play a video here in a second on that. But then there's also, like, my my buddy calls him Trump dick riders. Like, he's got this Trump dick rider that just will, like, bend over and take it no matter what he says. And, like, this happened to me recently where Santa Rosa, California is has, like, a small airport.

It's, like, 30 miles from where I grew up. They were running flights from Santa Rosa to Idaho for the past few years because so many people have moved from that area here that it's just a a great flight for everybody, and it was it was just great for everyone. And then the company, I think it was Alaska, maybe I don't remember exactly what company was, decided to take government contract of to do mass migration, you know, the mass, you know, deportations. Yeah. And I send this article to my family.

I'm like, can you believe they shut this fucking flight down? And they go, well, it's for a good cause. I go, good cause? Where's the fucking mass migrations? Don't you think if they were using Alaska Airlines to do mass deportations, it would be all over CNN right now?

And it's not because they're not doing it. I'm sure those contracts do exist, and they're probably, you know, cleaning up on them. But, like, just the fact of them going, oh, well, my life is just made a bunch harder, but it's for a good cause. It's like, fuck that.

Yeah. And and there's a I think it's called the Dilly meme meme team on Twitter or x or whatever, and the dude who leads it calls himself Warlord Dilly. Can you get any gayer first?

That's pretty

fucking gay. It's like I I had to, like, just block the dude even though I don't dislike him or whatever. It's just like, oh, says all these things are wrong about the but their Trump can do no wrong, wrong, and here's why everybody's wrong. And it's like, no. And then the fucking the thing that bothers me even more than that is just blatantly being lied to by the media.

It's like, I don't even like Trump. Didn't vote for him.

Dude, it's

But I'm not fucking retard well, that's not why I'm retarded. Like, I just, like, fucking our elected officials who probably aren't even American born are flying to El Salvador to pick up somebody who had a number one, had a deportation order. Number two is very likely the member a member of a gang because his wife covers up his tattoos on his hands, probably covers up the bruises on his knuckles from beating her because he got arrested for that. Mhmm. And, like, this is where we're gonna focus energy.

Yep.

Is trying to bring this person back, and then we have I almost said the the fully on we have a representative from Michigan.

Wait a minute. Who? I got him. Yep. I got him on deck.

Bar,

the Supreme Court voted nine zero, sir.

Here we go.

This is congressman Srinathar. Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy, but defying a unanimous nine o Supreme Court ruling that

Dan, I think this video is missing something. I can't quite put my finger on it. Oh, wait. Yeah. I can.

There we go. Some loud Indian music.

The final straw. It's time we impeach Donald j Trump. The court said the wrongfully deported Hilmer Garcia must be allowed to return and receive

his new trust.

Trump ignored it. He ignored the constitution. He ignored the Constitution checks and balances.

Protect illegals.

Keep our democracy.

Man. This fucking guy This

isn't an isolated incident. It's part of a dangerous deliberate pattern. That's why today

I think we can I think we can a resolution now? We can we can play this

online video next.

Oh, shit. I can. Yes. The problem is is, like, there's no sound on it. And, Yes.

There is.

Well, kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Let's play it. Is like my favorite part.

I mean

the audio.

I'm gonna I'm gonna oh, here we go. Here it is.

Alright. So I'm gonna I'm gonna, lead into this one. Okay.

Go ahead.

Last night, I was on X, and I saw a video, and I started laughing so hard that I started crying. Like, I was crying laughing. And what's in the video is a gentleman in India with a GoPro selfie stick doing a zipline, and he's so happy doing like, this be like, this

is the first

fast moments of this guy's life. That's what I want. So let's play the audio. Very let's play the video.

Oh my god. Uh-oh. What is that? It doesn't

come out as clear as it does in, Twitter videos. Like, maybe we can post it a little bit or post it for the photos.

But, like, right now, you can see people falling left and right all around, and they're dropping.

Right. And he's just Yay. He's living his best life. Just like, it's the best moment of his life. I and it's during the Pakistan terror attack on India.

You see these people running and getting shot, and this motherfucker's like,

I really hope he survived that attack so he can remember that for the rest of his life. Yeah. Can you imagine his his, like, his his next video where he comes on and he's, like, all quiet? And he's like, so I was, I was out, eating food with my feet and decided to go on a zipline, and then people were dying.

I mean, he he even looked like he was, like, well put together. Yeah. Not yeah. Just

I couldn't smell him through the camera.

Yeah. Couldn't smell through the camera, but, god, that dude was just so happy. Oh my god. Sad to see people die. Yeah.

Yeah. What what like, let's set that aside for a minute because it happened. Yeah. I'm not, like, wishing that on anybody, but just the the juxtaposition between the best moment of your life and somebody getting running and getting shot and falling. They're just

dropping like

I thought it was AI. I thought it was AI for sure.

I had to watch it a couple times because it was like, am I really seeing what I'm seeing? And same thing, it was like, did they edit this in? Are people just, like, falling down and they're putting gun? That was one of the craziest videos I've ever seen. Like, one of the few instances where cell phone cameras bring people joy.

You know? Like, for the most part, I wish they'd go away, and I think it's a bad idea that we all have cameras in our pockets all the time. But goddamn, moments like that make it worth it.

My my buddy who sends me some of the most fucked up shit, when I sent that to him, he goes, top five videos ever.

Gotta be. Right?

Yeah. Gotta be.

Gotta be. I don't even I don't know where else I would like, I don't even know what I could rank above that that I've seen lately. That's a nice thing about having brain damage is, like, every video is a new video. Yeah. So for me, it's just, you know, every video is a new video.

Also, while we're talking about that terror attack so I I send Nick a lot of shit. He sends me a lot of shit. I've never once asked for his consent No. To send him a video. And I I have a buddy who lives in India, and I I was talking to him about the terror attack because it was close to home, and he's my friend.

And he's like, you wanna see what we did to those people? I'm like, sure. And so it turns out if your body is dismembered and you're Muslim, you can't be buried. Yeah. So I got to see didn't get to see.

I I saw a video of the Indian guys dismembering the Pakistani guys.

Chopping his head off with a dull knife.

Yeah. Yep. Please stop. I can only get so hard.

Exactly. Right? Like, oh my god. Like, I I don't really like seeing stuff like that because I've fucking had limbs chopped off before, so it kinda just gives me the fucking creeps.

Close to home. Yeah. I I sent it to him, and then he sent me a text. Jesus Christ. I didn't need to see that.

I said, when have I ever asked you for consent to send you a video?

Like, fuck. Oh, fuck. I do know for the future. And I had to download signal for that one because we are not sharing that over text message.

WhatsApp.

WhatsApp. Whatever it was.

Yeah. Like, that that was not getting downloaded to my phone. Sure.

Oh, man. Yeah. That was brutal. You don't fuck with people like that. Like, we would do that to people in this country if we didn't live in a police state.

You know, if if somebody came in so, like, here's a story. I had a babysitter when I was growing up. They lived out on a ranch and didn't own guns for some fucking reason, is beyond me. Anyways

because they kill people.

Yeah. Guns kill people, which is why you want them. And, anyways, so middle of the night, one night, like, 04:00 in the morning, they wake up and, like, the the husband wakes up, and there's some fucking dude in his bed trying to rape his wife. So they get into a massive fucking fight. The guy is, like, on PCP and meth and just out of his he's a little Mexican guy.

He's, like, five foot five, a hundred and thirty hundred and forty pounds. Just a tiny guy. Beats the fuck out of the homeowner. Ends up getting a hold of a fire poker, like, that you turn logs with Yeah. And just, like, beat him in the head with it.

So they call the cops. Cops aren't gonna make it out there for a long time, so they call the neighbor as well. The neighbors are the baddest people in town. Like, they are the baddest of the bad. Like, the dad is an army ranger.

He's fucking killed people close combat with knives and shit like that. Like, just a a gnarly dude. The youngest son played for the Rockies, and the oldest son was a lineman. These are all very big native guys. And Yeah.

They just ran out, didn't think to grab a gun or a knife or anything. And they got a hold of this fucking guy finally. And it took all three of them to keep him down, and they were trying to choke him out. They were trying to break his neck, and they couldn't fucking do it. The guy, the homeowner, ended up dying in the helicopter a bunch of times.

They brought him back to life. He recovers somewhat, like, he still got problems. And one day he comes home from work and says you got a headache, and he lays down, goes to sleep, never wakes up. He had a house halfway finished that they were about to move into, like, other houses. It just destroyed these people's lives.

It was horrible. And, like, a gun would have solved that immediately. Yeah. If he had a gun right next to his bed like I do, you wouldn't had to get into a fist fight with the guy. You just reach over, grab your gun, and shoot him.

Wait. You only have one?

I've got guns all over the house hidden. I got one for the front room. If somebody's gonna fuck with me at the front door, I got one around there. I got the AR in the closet, and I got another pistol by my bed.

The I guess that answers the one bear or 100 guys question.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I'd I'd it's always a bear.

Yep. Always a bear.

I saw somebody, that's been a meme going around, and the funniest thing that I saw was somebody posted a T shirt. I'm not a bear, but I can beat off a hundred dudes.

Oh, man. I mean, sometimes we'd be walking around like, one of the funniest things I've ever seen is we were walking around San Francisco One day. These people that I lived with in the sober living facility. Couple of them were gay. One of them you would never know was gay.

One of them you would know was gay fucking immediately. You know, you'll he dressed like a vampire. He had weird tattoos and shit. And we're, like, walking down the street going to get pizza or something like that, and two bears walk by holding hands. And the gayest of the gay goes, ugh, fucking faggots.

And I go, what? And he was like, I'm gay. I get fucked in the ass. I suck dick. Those guys are holding hands in public.

Those are faggots. He goes, I do not need to he goes, I do not need to show you how gay I am. You can already tell.

My friend sent me a video yesterday on Instagram, and she's, like, super clean-cut. Wouldn't have expected it from her. And it's two gay guys on a podcast similar to this. And and the dude goes, Daniel, gay or straight? And the other guy goes, gay, obviously.

Alright. How about Dan? Oh, that's straight. And it's, and and then they go into if you use your full name, you're probably gay. So I I sent that video to everybody that I know with a short name, like Sean and Ryan and Louise.

Hey there, Ryan.

So if I went by Nicholas, that would be a sign. Nicholas? That would be a sign.

That'd be

a sign. I've only ever nobody's ever called me Nicholas before. Only I had a baseball coach that did. It was so fucking weird.

He was probably just being hopeful. He was trying to manifest destiny.

I he was, he was friend he

was my wife. Little kids things. Yeah. Like, hey. Come here.

Let me smack you on the butt when you hit a base. Yeah.

That's my man, we had some fucked up coaches in my town. Like, the the guy that, like, was our PE teacher in high school, he was a fucking piece of shit. He was always you could tell he was into the young girls, and he coached volleyball and girls softball and boys baseball, and and he just Or

even watch girls volleyball. Even college volleyball. Yeah. It's just like, no. There's there's no reason for me to be watching this right now.

I got him fired. Good. Yeah. I, so we, I don't I I'm sure I've told you this story before, but me and my buddies got arrested for hazing in high school. Have Have I told

you that before? So. Oh, shit.

So there was a Let's

fucking go, boy.

Let's go. Right? So there's, there's there was a tradition in my town that you paddled the the senior upcoming seniors, paddled the freshman days and confused style. Like, this went on for fifty years in my town. Right?

So we did it. I got paddled, you know, going in to be a senior. So I had a I had a single cab pickup with a short bed in it, and we're driving last day of school, we're driving around looking for looking for new freshmen. Hop in the back. You know?

We'll go hit you in the ass, and then we'll go fucking party at my house and have a good time. So we did. We paddled. It was me and, nine of my friends. We paddled, I think it was 10 freshmen.

So one of them ended up, like, telling his mom and being a fucking bitch about it, and his mom freaked out and wanted to sue my family essentially because we had a nice house on property, and it looked like we had more money than we did. So, like, the outside eye, it looked like we had a lot of money, but my parents were just fucking, you know, credit cards, and it it it wasn't good. Anyways, the whole Yeah. Whole goal was to get us get a criminal case going and then have civil case. So we ended up getting arrested for I got arrested for one count of possession of a deadly weapon, which they never found.

One count or no. 10 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, 10 counts of kidnapping, and eight counts of criminal conspiracy. All felonies.

And But one person?

No. Like, all me and all my buddies got arrested on the

same trip. Only one person.

Yeah. And, but but 10 of they ended up finding out that it was 10 of them. So we got 10 counts of each of them because it was 10 kids. Two of my buddies didn't get arrested. One of them had knee surgery, and his dad told the cops to go fuck themselves and slam the door, and they just never came back.

Another one moved, and then another one hid at the lake for, like, two months in a fucking tent like a pussy. Anyways, where was I going with that? I had I had something

on the The coach. You're you're

Oh, anyways, I made the paddle. I made a bunch of paddles in woodshop. I had woodshop that year. And they asked me how I was able to make the paddles in woodshop. And this was, like, the only thing that I talked on.

I didn't talk on nothing, but I hated this fucking guy. And I was like, well, coach Barry didn't give a shit what we did in woodshop. He went out and played football with all the football players, and we just did whatever the fuck we wanted. So, yeah, I made a bunch of paddles with the school's wood on your time. And they were like, yeah, you can't be a fucking wood job teacher anymore.

And then he got fired as the coach too. So fuck him. Right? There's actually a really funny article. It's in the journal for corporal punishment about, like, me and my buddies.

And, I'm in the article. Like, I was interviewed

in the interview. Like, crow corporal punishment?

No. I don't no. No. No. Unfortunately.

Wait.

Are are they saying what you did was Corporal punishment. Punishment or you deserved it?

Both.

Oh, sweet.

Yeah. Both for sure. But, I had to oh, dude. It was on national news. We weren't gonna tell my my grandparents about it, but they all saw it on the news.

They knew immediately. They were like, oh, yeah. He was definitely part of that. And, you know, did Did

your grandpa give you a thumbs up?

That no. Nobody cared. That was the weird thing. It was, like, nobody cared. The school pretended that they knew didn't know about it when they clearly fucking did.

And, like, nobody cared for thirty years, and there was one cop in town that was he was not from Cloverdale where we grew up. He was an outsider, and he wanted to be the chief, and he wanted to be the badass cowboy. So all of the other cops were, like, we're not touching this. I talked to a couple of the other cops. They were, like, what happened to you guys was fucking bullshit.

Like, we couldn't stop that guy, essentially. Yeah. And he took it upon himself to go on the news, and he was doing interviews as much as he could. These paddles could take down a horse. It was one of the things that he said, and it's quoted all over the place.

And the guy was just a fucking fag dude. So, like, me and my buddy were getting transported from Cloverdale to Santa Rosa. This was the funniest part of the entire thing. We, like, go in, and my mom was a a criminal defense, paralegal. So she gave us a whole rundown.

Don't say anything to these guys. Nothing. Like, whatever you say, they can use it against you. They'll try and trick you and talk about dirt bikes or something like that, but they're really just trying to trick you. So don't fucking talk to this guy.

He's a piece of shit. He doesn't and, like, I had problems with this cop previously. Some girl like, I had a party at my house, and a girl got choked by her by her boyfriend, and then we beat the fuck out of the guy. Cops got involved. It it was a big thing.

And then we tried to build a dirt bike track, and he shut that down too. Anyways, we go through the the, you know, all the they try and question us. They bring us, you know, through the fucking through the, the police station, and they put us in the back of a car. And, me and my buddy were just sitting there, and, he comes in, and he puts a chew in, and he goes, what kind of music do you guys like? And we just quiet, and he goes, well, you're not gonna fucking hear it in here.

And then I'm not kidding you. He put on George Strait, Bad To The Bone, and he flipped his glasses out and put his glasses on and drove out. And I was like, and I what did I I was like, dude, you're not a fucking cowboy. And my buddy just lost it. It was so fucking funny.

We we just couldn't stop after that point. He was so mad. He was red in his face screaming at us and, like, foam coming out of his mouth. Those beautiful things.

Are you sure it was foam?

It could have been something else. He did take my buddy into the back. Oh. No.

And then he got some leniency.

But it was fun. When we got to when we got to the jail, I'll be like the all the CEOs and the intake guys were like, oh, man. You guys are the hazing kids. This is fucking bullshit. You shouldn't be in here.

We're gonna put you guys on twenty four hour lockdown just for your own safety because, like, we're you guys are in with murderers and because of all of our charges, we're all felonies. We have, like, 40 felony charges. So we were as, you know, as bad as you could possibly get. And, like, there was a some guy came up to my fucking window at one point and tried shaking me down for something. I didn't have anything.

I'd only been in there, like, two days. I didn't have any food or anything like that. And then then this fucking guy comes over and he's like, hey, man. You don't fuck with these kids. I was like, oh, somebody's got our back.

Must be a CO. And it was not a CO. It was a guy that, I thought moved. But turns out he didn't move. He, stabbed his stepfather in the chest 14 times with a butcher knife.

So he was in for life. But he had our backs in there. He helped me out. He tossed me a fucking Reese's. It was good to see us.

It was fucking cool, you know. Yeah. And, that was it. I spent three months on spent three months on house arrest on my senior summer and, ended up, like it was cool because one of my buddies lived with us, and my sister was two years younger than me. So we weren't allowed to have people over while we were on house arrest, but the cops can't stop my sister from having people over.

And we're the same age. So we would go out and, like, dunk each other in the pool, not, like, not let the ankle go into the fucking pool so you can kinda just, like, hold your legs and then you dunk backwards in. It was fucked up. But, you know, I had to go around to, like I had to do I was the only guy that got busted with a brain. None of my buddies had brains.

They were all fucking idiots. They didn't know how to play the game. They didn't know how to act sorry, you know. And that was the only way we got out of we we went through this, like, restorative justice thing where we took a deal, but you had to pretend to be sorry. Like, that was the deal.

Yeah. Like, if you weren't sorry, you're getting the fucking charges. So I had to go around and, like, do speeches at at the Lions Club and the Rotary Club and in front of the school. And, like, they did a whole day where they had each of us in one room that was, like, talking about some different aspect of hazing, and it was just so stupid because everybody knew that we didn't give a fuck, but they made us do it anyways. It it was just looking back on it now, it's funny.

You know? But at the time, it wasn't. Yeah.

And it's like character defining. Right? It is. You got the story for your whole life.

Yeah. And it it taught me how to play the game. I'd never really had to play the game before where you know that something is wrong. You know that you're not necessarily in the wrong, but in order to, you know, get out of this thing, you have to play the fucking game. And that helps a lot.

Like, I'm sure you have to play the game in business a lot. You know?

Oh, no. I'm always just happy. You're right, sir.

Oh, shit. So should we, so should we have a a a little debate here for the end of the show?

About tips?

About tips. I do have a lead in video for us. This one's pretty funny.

Confrontation over tipping lands an Evanston Restaurant Owner and some hot water. Now he's sitting down with our Sarah Mackey to say he takes full responsibility, he's sorry, and his door's open to the other person involved.

Hey, bro. What do you want, bro? What do you want? I pay for my food.

Evanston Restaurant Owner, Kenny Cho, says he takes a full responsibility for his actions in this video taken Saturday afternoon, telling us he followed a regular into the street intending to tell him never to come back after leaving without tipping again.

You gonna tell him, I paid for my food. I handed you $20. You can't charge me more than what the menu say? So what are you talking about?

But the tensions escalated. The men yelling at each other for several minutes as the customer walked away from the business. Have you watched the video?

Yes.

And when you watched it

Somebody's got a samurai sword to this guy's back. Shame. This is a full on poshange video.

You know? Bring shame to my wife as a husband, you know, as an owner, you know, at the same time, you know, to my mom and dad.

The video ignited a debate online about tipping and led some people to leave messages on the sidewalk in shock, calling the business Table two Sticks anti black.

Tippets to Sticks. How can I be?

Asian confrontation. Nothing to see here.

I'm sorry?

The backlash has forced them to stop taking calls, deactivate their social media, while Yelp has paused any new reviews.

Bro, you about to blow up our social media, bro. What

the fuck?

When asked why he didn't tip, the customer told people online, oh, I just didn't want to. Cho tells us the customer's brother has since come in, describing their conversation as productive.

I apologize to him and to his family, and I was asking if you could pass this message along

to his new brother.

Abandoned me. Home with the customer's favorite order, a handwritten apology, and an offer.

My door is open for you, man. You know? Come on by anytime.

From Evanston, Sarah Mackey, CBS News, Chicago.

Alright. So since I've I've worked in a lot of restaurants, I think we should let you take the, the opening salvo

here. I'm gonna start by saying I'm a very good tipper. I am. And for the majority like, pre COVID, I guess. COVID is when things changed.

Mhmm. 20% tip was great service. 15% was average. 10 was like so so. And if it's horrible, you gave nothing.

The culture completely changed during COVID, and this is my problem with it. Now no matter what you do, they're at dude, I went to the air I was at the airport last week, got a bottle of water. They turned the fucking screen around on me. Yeah. Most restaurant not most restaurants.

A lot of new restaurants now are you go up, you order, they bring your food out, then you have to go back to get another drink. Yep. And the default tip or the the sorry. There's a scale of three, and the left side of the scale is 20. And the high sky high side is 35 to 40%.

And I'm just ordering and you're dropping shit off at my table. Nobody's asking me how good my food was. Nobody's asking if it was okay. Do I need a refill or whatever? That's gone.

But now I'm expected at the or if you hit other, people just look at you like, who's this cheap fucker? And it it's gotten so far that we went to this bar a month ago. Skinny dentist in Nashville, wouldn't go back. Walk in, big cool place. It's like a, so we live in East Nashville, which is like the cool food art scene, and Broadway is like where the tourists go.

And, like, this is a Broadway bar, but it's in East Nashville. Like, okay. I get it. Like, sometimes we need big gatherings and shit. Go in.

Sit at the bar. I'd like to order some food. Well, you can order from the food truck out back, but you do it through an app. Mhmm. Okay.

Cool. Order. Auto, 18% gratuity. The like, you you have no choice.

Mhmm.

You have to pay 18. Then on the next screen, they bring you to a default 35. So now we're talking about 53%. Get the food. The food fucking sucks, bro.

I just spit it out. Nobody asked me, how was your food? Well, I spit it out because it's shrimp shouldn't taste like trout ever. But they like, the I had to pay that 18% no matter what, and then they tried to ask for more, which I didn't, and I never will. And it's just like, I don't have a problem with tipping as a gratuity.

It's not the business model of the business to not pay people what they're worth. A gratuity is something that you give extra. And the culture is gonna like, we ordered fucking Palo Santo online. Do you know what Palo Santo is?

I do not.

It's this tree that in South America, when it falls and then it ages for ten years, if you burn it, it smells really good. But you can't hack it. So, like, you have to let it set for ten years, and it's really good for the people in that region because they're able to harvest it, and nobody can, like, grow this and sell it. And I bought Palo Santo, and they asked for a fucking tip for the warehouse staff. Yeah.

Plus shipping. Plus handling. Like, the it's that culture that I have a problem with, not tipping in general. Like, I'm I'm a very good tipper. I've always tipped like, I've always been 20% minimum, great service 30, and terrible service zero.

But if if I have to tip upfront, like, how how how do I know what my service is gonna be?

Yeah. Well, this is gonna be kind of a boring debate because I I agree with most of what you said there. I think that there is a difference between a full service restaurant and a self-service restaurant Yeah. Where a self-service restaurant, you should not be expected to tip anything. Like, I I go to a a Hawaiian restaurant near my house.

It's got a a window. It's like a Chipotle or something. You go in, they build your shit, you go sit down. You should not be expected to tip those people. That is their job.

Minimum minimum 20.

I I typically what I do in that situation is give them a dollar plus the change. Yeah. And I think that's good enough. Yeah. Full service restaurants, on the other hand, is a different story.

Let me ask you this. Like, let's first off, I do think that tipping has gotten out of control, the culture of it. I was at my grandmother's house the other day. My mom ordered a pizza, and they charged automatic gratuity on the delivery, and they left the pizza on the fucking ground outside. That's not Didn't even knock on the door.

Two. He had a the screen door was

open. Charge.

The service charge. The screen door was open. Like, there it was just the screen door. They didn't even knock or say your pizza's here. They just left it on the ground.

So I I I agree with you that it's gone too far. As far as, like, serve full service restaurants, it's gotten to a point where you couldn't have the restaurant industry that we have in this country without the tipping aspect of it. Since you're you're far more of a world traveler than I am, Is there a country that you think we should try and emulate?

What's when when we're talking about a full service, that's a whole different thing.

Okay. So yeah. This is kind of a weird debate thing because I I think we were gonna I thought we were gonna have a debate on full service restaurants, like, the difference between European and American and, like

No. I still I'm not fucking they love me in Europe.

Okay. Yeah.

I like it.

And I'm I'm, like, I do have a a little bit of a problem with the automatic gratuity. I have worked in restaurants that do it.

So part party seven or more? Sure. 47 or more? But five? Yes.

You're you're waiting on five people. Yeah. Just do your fucking job.

We had a six and up rule because we had

six top That's the middle.

Yeah. We had six top tables. We had six top tables. You could put eight on them if you put people on the ends, but they were kind of a pain in the ass. And we had a lot of Europeans that would come in.

And, for the most part, I tried not to use it whenever possible. I was good at my job. I I never had a problem with people not tipping me so well except for, like, the the people from Oakland. They would come in and and they would tip shitty. So we just stopped serving Hennessy.

Like, that was one of my first moves at the bar. I was like, oh, this has gotta go. The EO's gotta go. Like, all the fucking black shit's gotta go. We're not doing Hennessy and hypnotic.

Like, no. No. No. And my boss was like, why? And I was like, it it it draws a bad crowd.

And he was like, bingo. Got it immediately. You know? And, like, if I could tell that you were that you knew what tipping was, I wouldn't put it on because people were typically on vacation, there to spend money, and didn't really have and Europeans have gotten a lot better in the past ten to fifteen years. When I first started working in restaurants, Europeans were really bad about tipping.

They just wouldn't do it out of principle. Now, like, the well, the last time I worked in a bar was is 2015, so I can't say what it's like now. But at that point, it kind of almost went the other direction where your Europeans knew that they needed to tip, and sometimes they would tip more than they needed to, and they were fine with that. We also had problems with, like, locals in in the bar that I worked at. I had two locals that lived in the marina right next to the bar that I was working in.

And they would come in, and we would give them $2 PBR pints because they were locals. And at one point, I had to pull them aside and go, look guys, I like you both. You're both cool guys. I don't mind you sitting here at my bar all day drinking PBRs, two bucks a piece. But you are costing me a lot of money.

If you're gonna sit here all day and drink $2 PBRs, which these other customers don't get, they pay $4 for the pint or $5 for the pint. You gotta tip something. You can't just sit here and cost me money all day. And they were kinda like, oh, didn't think about that. You know?

Two other people sitting in here, I'd be making another, you know, 50 to $60. So it kinda got in their head, and then they started tipping a a buck or 2 per drink, which was that's fine. Like, I'm I'm totally $2

a drink is great.

It's great. I'll do that all day a week.

For $20.

Yes. We didn't do that.

And if you don't tip a 5, that bartender won't come back to you. Yeah. I think it's gone too far.

Yep.

A a funny story. I was traveling with a friend. There was a group of five of us. So with Uber, if you order Uber black almost every time because they don't make, like, Lincoln Town cars anymore. Almost every time, it's a Suburban.

So order an Uber black because there's five of us, and driver gets there. Well, in the Uber black policy, there's only four people allowed, and we're all kinda drunk. And the dude's like, you can't get in here. And my buddy's like, why? He's like, there's five of you.

He's like, we've done 20 Ubers this weekend.

Yeah.

Why why and then the guy just, like, starts giving him lip, and my buddy just, like, gets mad and starts fucking screaming at him. And, like, we're in front of a nightclub, and, like, he's like, get out of the car, you fucking pussy. Come on. I'm like and then the the bouncer, like, pulled the bouncer manager out. They're like, yo, this dude.

And, he goes, no. They're good. Homeboy tipped me. He was gonna let my buddy beat the shit out of the Uber driver because I gave him a 20 when we came

in. Yeah. So, like, one of the things I would always hear about, you know, working in restaurants from from people abroad, they would come in and and, you know, we don't have to tip in our country. Why do you guys have to do it here? And, like, I I learned this from an, an Australian bartender that I worked with who had worked all over the world.

He was a really good bartender. Those countries, you're still paying a 20% VAT tax. It's just going to the government instead of the server or the bartender.

But it it's built into the price.

Yeah. It is.

But the the that's But

you're still paying that extra 20%. It's just going to the government on behalf of the server so they get health care and whatever commie bullshit that you wanna get. So it's

like And and then they're also getting a much larger wage because I think in Vegas last time I saw the, minimum wage was $3.50 for servers and bartenders. But then also for the skill level of those people and I'm not saying, like, college education, just like the skill of

There's some great bartenders. Like, really good. No.

No. No. I'm I'm saying that you don't have to be that tell you you couldn't work on a line.

Yeah.

Like, a lot of those people could not work in anything that needed a bunch of metal capacity. Those people were making $7,800 a thousand a night.

Yeah.

And so it's it's like a really good system. So, like, why why are you pissed when people are like, oh, I don't wanna pay the service charge when you're making more than your education or your career paths would allow?

Yeah. I mean, becoming a bartender early like, I I I started working at a restaurant at 18. I started at a a, an Italian restaurant, a chain restaurant called Johnny Carino's. It was a good restaurant for a chain restaurant. We had good food, good lasagna.

And, I'd never even been to an Italian restaurant when I started working there. I couldn't tell the difference between the foods. Like, they they would put it out, and I I don't know what that is. You know?

There was a red sauce.

So it was it was really hard for me to learn. And in the beginning, it was really frustrating because I wanted to be waiting tables, and they were still having me run food because they they wanted to start me as a as a bus boy, which I was adamantly against. And my uncle built the restaurant, so I kinda had an end, and I was just like, no. You know, he told you to hire me as a waiter, hire me as a fucking waiter. You know?

And it took me a while to learn it, but once I learned the system, I got good at it. And I started bartending at 21 on my 20 birthday. I told them at that point, like, if you don't have me bartending on my 20 birthday, I'm going somewhere else. Because they you know, the whole the deal was, oh, yeah. We'll get you in as soon as we can.

And then I'm starting to turn 21. It's like, well, we don't really have an opening right now. I was like, no. No. No.

You you're gonna make an opening. Like, I'm the best waiter you have. You're gonna make a fucking opening. And, you know, even now, I could still move if I moved to Tennessee, if I say, hey, Dan. I I think I'm gonna move to Tennessee.

You would give me a couple of suggestions for places to go and work, and I would get a job in a day.

That's no. Because most places require cocktail shakers.

I could still do that. I could still do that. But that's the great thing about having a job like that is when I moved to to Maui, I went to a couple of restaurants and had interviews. And in the same day, two two of the restaurants that I was recommended to go to by my family were like, this isn't the place for you. You need to go to Moose's.

Moose McGillicuddy's, that's that's where you wanna work. And I went in there and got a job immediately. It was within a couple of days, you know. And I I have an a degree right now in liberal arts, which is the most worthless degree on the planet. And there is

no studies.

Yeah. That's probably true. There is no job that I could get with that degree that would pay me more than bartending. None.

Yeah. Yeah. And and nobody you didn't have to get student loans to be a bartender.

Nope. Nope. Learned it myself. You know?

So I I I think it's a good system for people that, like, don't fit into a normal work culture, don't wanna go to school, whatever, but it's not fucking guaranteed. And, like, the sense of entitlement bothers me.

Yeah. Yeah. No. I I

I go to the marketplace. The

man's great. I thought great.

They're always super supportive, but it's like a husband and wife. And it's like the the low end of the scale is 20%. Like, bro, this is your fucking business. I should not be tacking on when we do pop up vending for the business, I don't add tips to what I'm doing because I'm selling the product at the price that it I was willing to sell it for. We we had a dog sitter when we were traveling, and the app that we use, like, followed up two or three times to leave a tip.

It's like, no. This is a a person that set their price, and this is the price that we agreed to. Why in the world would you try to make me tip when we agreed to pay a lot? Is it $50 per dog per night? Why why would you be asking me for another hundred?

I would argue They

they set their price.

I would argue that restaurant margins are so low that without tipping the servers, you couldn't operate a successful restaurant at this point. If you had to pay the servers what they're making and not require tipping, you're you're you're gonna be too low. You're not gonna be successful. You're gonna close down immediately.

You you you could charge 10% more and pay the servers what look. For their skill level.

But how alright. I made a hundred thousand dollars a year more than that. But I was a hundred thousand a year on the books bartending in San Francisco.

And what what was your skill in vacation level?

I was the highest paid employee in that restaurant. They could not pay

any more. People, that's too much money. Like, if you want a hundred thousand dollar a year job, go learn a fucking skill.

Oh, I think bartending is a great skill. You know? You're You the you're Here's a great story. I and I

bet I bet that you were a great bartender, but it's just like, you're not a you're not a fucking plumber. You you don't like, it it's just not it there is craft there. Don't get me wrong. But, like, there like, there's no reason why a bartender should make a hundred thousand dollars a year unless they're just fucking excellent.

I worked my ass off, Dan. You know? I, I work seven days

a week. How much did you make out of alignment?

Not near as much, but I would have made a lot more once I became a journeyman. You know? I would have made $200

a year. Had to work your way up through. Like, yeah, the there's just I I I don't agree that bartenders are entitled to a 6 figure salary.

Oh, I didn't say they're entitled to a 6 figure salary. I said the best ones who work their asses off. I wasn't I wasn't making 6 figures because I was getting tick tipped extravagantly. Like, we we had the cheapest restaurant on Pier 39. 1 of my jobs every day was just find out how much they were selling beer for at the other restaurants so we could lower our prices below it.

I I worked, you know, six to seven days a week, ten, twelve hours a day. That's that's how I made my money. But I would also argue, like, so I I worked when I was in San Francisco, we were dealing with people on vacation. And so in

San Francisco?

Yeah. And sometimes, like, a good or a bad restaurant can make or break one of the days of your vacation. We had a couple come in. I was, I was working in the back bar one night, and you can kinda tell when people wanna talk and when they don't wanna talk. And Yeah.

There was this this couple. They were just kinda somber. And, I just kinda left them alone, you know. And at the end of the night, I was like, hey, guys. You know?

Yeah. What are you doing the rest of the weekend? What's going on? You know, just kinda give them a little bit of small talk before they leave, see what's going on. And they were like, you know, we're just we're kinda having a rough day.

Like, my husband just got diagnosed with a with a terminal bone cancer, and we're here on we had this vacation planned anyways, so we decided to go. And, like, we haven't been able to buy any weed here yet. And, like, he's just in pain, and we just haven't really figured it out. And it's just not not a great night. And I was, like, hold that thought, you know.

And I went in the front of the restaurant and talked to three or four guys. I'm, like, somebody's got to

a dishwasher.

Somebody's got some weed in here. Right? You know? And I I found them some weed. We didn't charge them for it.

We just gave it to them because, I mean, fuck. What a horrible position to be in. Right? And, like, change those people's lives. Like, got them enough for the weekend that they were gonna be there.

They went from having a bad trip. They came in every night after that and had drinks, and they went from having a a bad last vacation to a happy last vacation. And those are the type of things that you can do to really make a difference in people's lives. Like, I've had a lot of things like that happen working behind a bar. It's not just about, you know, giving people their drinks on time, which is, you know, a big part of it.

One of my major pet peeves is a restaurant. At a restaurant, I keep my fucking soda full.

That because this is the morally right thing, or did you do that because you deserve to make a hundred thousand dollars a year?

I did that because I was in a position to do it. You know?

And how fucking retarded are you that you can't find weed in San Francisco?

You know, it's one of these things where Europeans get scared, and they don't wanna go to jail. And at that time, they're they didn't have open clinics. I think it was still, you know, medical use only. So you have to have an ID from you know, you can't go in there Yeah. And and do it.

So they were fucking they were scared about it. But, you know 12 year old I bought. I'll remember though that couple for the rest of my life. You know, that made me feel good to be able to, you know, give them a last vac like, the guy was dying. He was gonna die.

That's why you didn't deserve any money for that. You did it because it's the morally right thing.

Exactly. But, you know

Fucked up.

I don't think I got paid a hundred grand because I was a fucking therapist or because I had skills. I made a hundred grand because I worked my fucking ass off. That was why I made the money.

Yeah. Let's go back to the alcohols that you outlawed

Mhmm.

At that bar. The the alcohol hypnotic Mhmm. Spell it.

Oh, god. I I'm a horrible speller. H y p n o t I c.

IQ?

IQ.

Correct. That's the way it was by this is a Mandela effect.

Oh, really?

There's no why. But, like, I I so I I was in

Interesting.

When I was a professional poker player. I had this buddy who, his dad was the richest guy in town. And whenever he went out of town, he'd get drunk and just act wild because he could never just be himself. So we, we're we're in Niagara Falls, Canada. We're in the lobby.

We meet these girls. We're like, hey. Do you wanna come up to our suite? They're like, sure. And this girl pulls out a bottle of hypnotic, and I'm like, oh, this is a child.

And, like, we were in our twenties. Like, it's hard to tell with pickup and shit. I'm like, no. No. This is definitely a child.

And I I remember seeing

the one fifty fifty. You know? That's that's She pulls

out hypnautic. Yeah. And I'm like, how old are you? She goes, oh, I'm 17. And I said, get the fuck out of my room.

And my buddy who's dead is the rich guy. So he never he's like, no. Agent consent's 15 here. I'm like, I don't care. Fuck.

Get out of my room. We are not fucking children

in this room. But

she had a bottle of h y p n o t I q. And no. It's HP.

HP. I didn't know that. I wouldn't I've I've never served it in a bar. Like, I knew about that shit.

Of course. Because we because you

made a hundred k a

year as a bartender. Yeah. Like,

I knew about

that shit. All the hypnotic.

No. No. No. You get you get that shit out of there as quick as fucking possible. Dude, I had a guy.

I'll I'll never forget this guy either. I might have told you this story before. He came in. He was from Oakland. He came with his family, and he was a cool guy.

He had fucking gang tattoos. He was gnarly. And, we were just kinda bullshitting it.

And those figures?

Yeah. All over. Face, neck, the works. You know, they would come in because we had an arcade, which, you know, just attracts the trashiest fucking people you can possibly get. And we're he was just kinda showing me pictures of his motorcycles and shit.

And then after a minute, he was like, man, this fucking place is so cool. I didn't know you could just hop on BART and get over here. No. That's not what he said. At this point, I didn't know where he was from.

He goes, this is so fucking cool. I've never seen the ocean before. And I was like, really? Where are you guys from? And he's like, Alameda.

I'm like, oh god. You're from 40 miles from here, and you've never seen the ocean because you've never left your home fucking block, you retard.

Well, we were talking about that. So, like, I grew up in Michigan, spent my early twenties, like, in Amish country, but I always ate fast food. And then, like, people live in Los Angeles, but they never see the ocean. Yeah. Like and not just gangbangers.

It it's, like, pretty weird. So when we talk to people here at Nashville, we just assume that they, like, grow their food and get farm fresh eggs and fucking barely anybody does.

Yeah.

And it's just I I guess you take it for granted. I'm not sure.

Yeah. I've got one more video for us before we get out of here. This, this obese black woman decided she was gonna move to Ghana because America is racist. Oh, yeah.

But, yeah, I'd rather go back to America and deal with the racism in America before I sit here in Africa and deal with the bullshit robbery, the bullshit fraud, the bullshit scams, the bullshit too expensive, the bullshit

Oh, no. It was the wrong video.

Shit down

in the world. Here it goes.

But, yeah, I'd rather go back to America.

Wrong video.

The bullshit bribery, the bullshit fraud, the bullshit scams, the bullshit too expensive, The not having no snacks. The not having no food. The electricity. The hot water. The what's that called?

That be coming down. The bullshit animals and scorpions outside the house. It's big ass spiders. It's big ass lizards. Colorful lizards you ain't never seen before.

All in the fucking room with you. Sleeping with you. All all the bullshit people trying to scam me when you go outside thinking you're rich, so they try to get more money off of you. I'm really trying to wrap my head around this shit. I'm really trying to wrap my head around how are Americans coming to Africa and being happy.

Please comment down below. Because for me, I'm ready to go. And I always used to say, if it's up to me, it will be, and I'm gonna go out to Africa and make sure it happened. No. I don't want to.

No. I wanna take my businesses back to America. I wanna open up shop back in America, open up my dentist office, and all the stuff that I was gonna do out here in America. Electricity. And the only time our electricity get hit off is when we don't pay the bill.

And we got it so good now. We got prepaid electricity, so we forget to pay the bill. We put some money on that prepaid thing, and it comes right up to hold it to me.

Did you

hit the chirp, bud?

In less than two minutes.

I was waiting for you to hear it.

I was about to say they don't have the chirps and got out.

I can't deal. I love the people.

Don't give me the I

hit it like 10 times

and you missed it. I love people.

I I was looking for a pizza. Don't try that before.

Back home.

Home is where the heart is. Right? When you come back home, you're supposed to feel comfortable. You're supposed to be happy. I'm not happy to live in a house where you look outside, and

all you

see is turkeys.

I didn't even hear that one. She's in.

I think it's the other. Yeah. It's the other. It'll come through on

the pod, though.

I had to find a black video because I added a chirp to the fucking to the board. I did I did

a full How do I get soundboard access?

Oh, you can't from here. You'd have to buy a soundboard.

Oh, no. But if I bought a soundboard, I could hit Yeah.

Hit audio. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You get I have a Rodecaster Pro two.

It's like $400. This is expensive, but it's a really

badass machine. But if I plug that in, I

could chirp. Yep. Yeah. You can chirp whenever. I dude, I added a bunch of funds.

Got here. You ever had your shit pushed in?

Yeah. My shit pushed in, bro, big time.

I'm trying to I haven't been able to get them very loud. That's kinda been the problem. It's like right. Oh, here. This one's fun.

It's fast and loose, and accidents happen. Yeah. That one's too quiet. That's that's Alec Baldwin saying it's fast and loose, and Accidents happen.

I I know what I'm gonna tell Joy about it for my birthday.

Yeah. Absolutely. And then you'll have perfect sound like mine. We can do the whole we can get your sound even better. I was actually gonna ask you, like, we're on the show right now.

Maybe I should, do you think we should try and go live on YouTube when we go?

Yeah. We we don't edit anything.

Mm-mm. Like, the only editing I do is I kinda put the thumbnail into the, like so I'll I'll I'll we'll do the cold open, and then I hit the music, and I put the thumbnail in so it goes from us to the thumbnail and then back to us again. But aside from that, like, there's no editing involved anymore.

Well, no. You can do the live then pull it down and release it with I

can do that too. Yeah.
