spk_2
 

Beef jerky. 2 of the saltiest words any road dog could ever utter. Apart they have their own meaning. Beaf, cow, moor. Jerky. The act of being like a jerk. A

0:01:10
spk_3
 

meme, put together, beef jerky. Now, that's 1 mean cow. Has anybody tried any of this Pepper teriyaki jerky? Have you all

0:01:23
spk_1
 

tried any of it yet? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's

0:01:25
spk_4
 

a good step. That's a new 1.

0:01:28
spk_3
 

I don't like it when they do these hybrid flavors. You know what I mean? When I'm no. I want pepper or I want teriyaki. When you put start putting them together, you start being able to value the individual flavors, you know? The teriyaki jerky. Obviously, best seller, pepper jerky. I obviously don't go off the shelves fast fast at all. You throw them together. Which 1 takes more weight? You know what I mean? Listen, I don't mean to have

0:01:53
spk_4
 

you wanna taste the nuances of the pepper? Well,

0:01:57
spk_3
 

i guess you don't wanna you know?

0:01:59
spk_1
 

I guess you don't want my new flavor salt, pepper teriyaki, do you?

0:02:04
spk_3
 

Salt pepper teriyaki's already salt. Roger? Yeah. Teriyaki's a salty flavor already, and you said salty. Teriyaki

0:02:12
spk_4
 

pepper. We gotta make this separate. We gotta set like a vendor time for you and then as restocking time. Because it's hard when you're restocking and also selling. You know what I mean? Me? Yeah. If you could just sell us new flavors when we're restocking flavors.

0:02:33
spk_2
 

Sorry, I'm late. Sorry, I'm late. Sorry, I'm late. My son took the car again. I'm sorry. I apologize. That's

0:02:43
spk_3
 

the fourth time this

0:02:44
spk_2
 

week. I know. Know it's a You just did a new key hiding place too. Well, here's the issue is

0:02:52
spk_0
 

was

0:02:53
spk_1
 

it in the rock? In the did you put it in the rock?

0:02:56
spk_2
 

Yeah. It's I put it in the rock by the front door. But

0:03:00
spk_4
 

you moved the rock?

0:03:01
spk_2
 

And then, well, I I had a pigeon You

0:03:05
spk_1
 

it has to be I had a pigeon

0:03:07
spk_2
 

issue, and I threw the rock at the pigeon, and it broke open. What's what's I'm sorry. I am late is the point. My son keeps finding the key.

0:03:17
spk_1
 

But to be fair,

0:03:19
spk_2
 

he co I needed him to cosign on the car. So it's his car too.

0:03:23
spk_4
 

I mean, he is he is the money in the family.

0:03:26
spk_5
 

My damn credit.

0:03:27
spk_1
 

Charles, while we were

0:03:29
spk_3
 

having an

0:03:29
spk_1
 

issue, Barry does not like double flavor. I was trying to add a third flavor with salt pepper teriyaki. He also thinks teriyaki is salt when it's a classic to bless you. Sorry. Just say just hearing the name of that 1 made me sneeze. Well, dang, I looked at you and turns out Yons aren't the only thing that's contagious. So our sneezes with me. Damn. Yeah. Listen.

0:04:00
spk_3
 

Listen, this It sure is. I'm sorry. To cause trouble. I know we need to

0:04:03
spk_1
 

have What do you think Sesame

0:04:05
spk_0
 

chicken

0:04:06
spk_1
 

tastes like? Sesame

0:04:09
spk_3
 

chicken? Yeah. That's, like, kind of it's a it's that's also pretty salty to me, maybe

0:04:15
spk_1
 

see, you can only taste salt. What do you just want salt jerky? What do you want?

0:04:20
spk_3
 

What do you what do you no. I don't

0:04:22
spk_1
 

want salt I'm about to quit and go back to the birthday cake store. I'm about to quit and go back to the birthday cake. They ain't going to. You know, we're They ain't going to Yes. They were I'm a pipe and

0:04:32
spk_0
 

master.

0:04:34
spk_1
 

I pipe cream. I put it on the base.

0:04:37
spk_2
 

1 of the great curses of life that you can pipe super well but the only cakes you wanna make are salt pepper teriyaki.

0:04:45
spk_4
 

You know? Tacking you back. They're

0:04:46
spk_2
 

not taking you back. If you would compromise on the cake flavor, maybe bring you back because We

0:04:51
spk_1
 

already took you back

0:04:52
spk_2
 

from the cake store. You piped my tenth return ceremony cake. So well.

0:05:03
spk_1
 

And I love them -- You -- having that party. You retire more than Jay z. Well, you know, sometimes you just gotta It's not the

0:05:12
spk_4
 

same. If you

0:05:13
spk_1
 

quit the DMV, it is not the same. They don't want you to come back like they do a rapper.

0:05:19
spk_4
 

Well, you've also done several fired and retired.

0:05:22
spk_2
 

But, yeah, I did a fired and retired another fantastically piped cake, by the way. Thank

0:05:27
spk_1
 

you. Put all these

0:05:28
spk_2
 

words on there. But yeah, someone will say you're fired and I say, you can't fire me. I retire. And it's a fire retire.

0:05:37
spk_4
 

Yeah. Those those parties don't hit quite as hard, but there's not as much reverence. Well, you look.

0:05:45
spk_2
 

We Can I say something? We're all here. I know I'm late but we are in the red fellas. So we gotta change things up here. Okay. Yeah. This business -- And I and -- we are a beef side street side beef side jerky

0:06:01
spk_3
 

stand. Beef side. Yeah.

0:06:03
spk_2
 

Street side, beef side. And nobody comes to us. Nobody

0:06:07
spk_1
 

can you explain to me what beef side means again is that Do we only sell pork? So it's like beef adjacent? Yeah. Well, no. We it's Or sides

0:06:19
spk_2
 

of beef. It's anything you could determine as beef sides. So anytime someone comes in and you know the drill, we say what does beef side mean to you? And if

0:06:27
spk_1
 

not something

0:06:28
spk_2
 

we've done so far, we add that to the list of things we do.

0:06:32
spk_1
 

Okay. Right.

0:06:33
spk_3
 

Obviously, that couple came in for their anniversary. Last week, and they wanted to have a nice beef side dinner. So we

0:06:40
spk_1
 

set up a We set up a tea

0:06:43
spk_3
 

side of a cow. We put a 2 top next to it right next to the bathroom, best seat in the house. And they sat down. They had a nice little beach side dinner sitting next to that bloody dead cow. And that Well, lots of your time. They had a nice

0:06:55
spk_1
 

time. Mhmm. I do wanna apologize, and I think a little bit of us being in the red this month, is that I did that saved by the bell themed episode that took place at beefside for instead of Bayside.

0:07:10
spk_2
 

It cost us a ton of money.

0:07:11
spk_1
 

That cost us a ton of money. That was not Mark Paul

0:07:14
spk_2
 

gossler, by the way. I don't know who you paid all that money, but that was

0:07:17
spk_1
 

that wasn't? Or no. No. And that definitely wasn't

0:07:21
spk_4
 

belding. That was not belding.

0:07:24
spk_1
 

Well, I no. That was Belding. Now that was Belding. It wasn't No. You didn't

0:07:29
spk_4
 

get a single real cast member. You just added beef to bay. It

0:07:34
spk_2
 

was it was Danny Divino and

0:07:36
spk_0
 

ron

0:07:36
spk_2
 

jeremy. Which hey,

0:07:37
spk_4
 

congrats on the get, I will say.

0:07:40
spk_1
 

Well, Devina looked really good in the blonde wig. He looked gray, and he played he also played screech, and Jake played the family. I mean,

0:07:52
spk_3
 

you 8. Let's be honest, you did save a lot of money by having those 2 double up on the roll.

0:07:57
spk_1
 

Thank you.

0:07:58
spk_4
 

On the rolls for cracks. I mean You had them split roles.

0:08:01
spk_1
 

Yes. Yes. Yes. I was not about to spend a ton of money on roles. We all know that. Okay. So what are we so fine. I will back up and just do pepper. I'll just do teriyaki. Mean, pretty soon, what do you guys want? You wanna wanna not dry it too and have it just be regular water beef and not have it be jerky. What next? What next? I'm about to go back to the cakes

0:08:28
spk_3
 

store. They won't. I think I think

0:08:30
spk_2
 

if you go to the cake store, I'm retiring. I'll do it.

0:08:35
spk_3
 

Listen, guys. We don't need to get so

0:08:36
spk_1
 

how are you gonna leave? Because the car is gone. I just looked out

0:08:40
spk_2
 

right there. The car is gone. Wait. How could it be God? Let me check under the welcome mat out here. Key's gone.

0:08:50
spk_1
 

You put a rock fell under the mat. It's a big old bump. Alright. Well, what

0:08:56
spk_4
 

happened this time? You have more pigeon issues or what? What

0:08:59
spk_2
 

i suck at hiding keys from my son. Alright? I am so

0:09:03
spk_1
 

and you gotta stop cranking these pigeons.

0:09:07
spk_2
 

I am in a prank war with the pigeons. They crap on me. I crap

0:09:11
spk_4
 

on them. Which I still think you lose by the way. I think that ain't a victory for you because it gets on your hand. You know?

0:09:19
spk_1
 

You gotta sit you you you get up in those power lines all day, waiting for them, waste your damn day, burn your shoes. Yeah. Get shock. Go to hospital.

0:09:33
spk_4
 

Dye, come back, call it a retirement. You can't keep doing this. You need to come to work because listen. Your excuses while they are valid are still rebelled. You know what I mean? They're invalid. While they are valid, they're invalid. Because it's gotten to be so much. You ain't never worked. Let me take issue

0:09:51
spk_2
 

with 1 of those things. I did not die and come back. I retired and then I came out of retirement. I didn't die climbing up an electric wire to try to grab out a pigeon. Yes. You did. My shoes got electrocuted and my socks were wet due to a puddle issue. And then I got electrocuted in

0:10:07
spk_4
 

bed. Well, we've talked about the rules. If you want it to be classified a retirement, you have to say it before it happens. You cannot fall off another thing in all the time. I hate that rule.

0:10:18
spk_2
 

I hate that rule.

0:10:20
spk_4
 

That'll be your choice. That's the whole deal. You you've been fired by life 5 or 6 times. And you can't trudge through a puddle and call

0:10:28
spk_1
 

it a puddle issue. Okay?

0:10:31
spk_4
 

You already saw you playing in that thing in a big old slicker in a hat like a child. I was at the time of my

0:10:37
spk_2
 

life, and these pigeons crept on me and I said, well, 2 can play that game. So

0:10:43
spk_4
 

on a sopping wet, rainy day, you climbed up to the top of a telephone wire and thought you would take a shit on a pigeon. See, I got a mind to write you up for this because if people I hope you weren't wearing a beef

0:10:55
spk_1
 

jerky shirt.

0:10:56
spk_3
 

Hang on. I hope you weren't wearing a beef jerky shirt. Stop it. See, guys guys, I

0:11:01
spk_1
 

think these We can all run each other. It's

0:11:02
spk_3
 

the problem here. We

0:11:03
spk_4
 

don't have equal responsibility.

0:11:06
spk_1
 

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. You put a head down. I don't know.

0:11:11
spk_3
 

I think that's the problem with this store is we quit writing who are you I'm writing all 4 of you up, and that and 1 of them

0:11:17
spk_2
 

is me in the mirror. I

0:11:18
spk_3
 

ain't done the

0:11:19
spk_4
 

fair's fair. Alright.

0:11:20
spk_2
 

Right? I know

0:11:21
spk_3
 

nothing. Listen. I

0:11:22
spk_1
 

am right. See, this

0:11:23
spk_3
 

is the problem with this store. No. I'm gonna write I'm gonna write how about this. I'm gonna write us all 4 because we're all causing trouble here. That's the problem with these stores. We spend too much time at each other's screen. I

0:11:32
spk_0
 

agree.

0:11:33
spk_3
 

Not enough time not enough time working on the product. For example, if we started give it maybe, maybe. If we started just being a little more clever with the products that we sold and stop selling such salty stuff, I mean, even the free water right here is salty. I'm taking a sip right now, and this tastes like tears or ocean. It's Well, if you

0:11:55
spk_1
 

don't salt the beef, if you don't salt the beef,

0:11:57
spk_4
 

it doesn't it doesn't it

0:11:59
spk_1
 

doesn't do. It's dehydrated

0:12:01
spk_0
 

water.

0:12:04
spk_1
 

It's dehydrated. Water, man.

0:12:07
spk_2
 

I I I'm willing to talk about some issues that we with the business, but we can't start changing fundamentals like the salt water. Agree. But people come here from all across the world to get a nice cup of thirsty dehydrated water, gratis.

0:12:22
spk_1
 

Pretty soon you're gonna

0:12:24
spk_3
 

want me -- thirsty.

0:12:25
spk_1
 

Pretty soon you're gonna want me out of this wheelchair because my legs have dried up into crisps. Is that what you're gonna want? Well No. I think I do my salt

0:12:37
spk_3
 

i don't think you

0:12:38
spk_2
 

need to get into the salt vat when you're salting things. I think it

0:12:42
spk_4
 

yeah. That's a cleanly

0:12:43
spk_1
 

you are you are salted. Your first fly fishing. Smash it around like grapes.

0:12:48
spk_3
 

No.

0:12:49
spk_4
 

You have Out of those, it

0:12:50
spk_3
 

looks more like you're fly fishing. Where you sort of stand in there. You wait in there a little bit.

0:12:55
spk_1
 

I wish. I wish I could still fly fish. Throwing the salty. And I'll

0:12:58
spk_4
 

be honest, we don't need a great place every day. Okay. We don't need someone to fall out of the vat every day going, 000, because it again, it cuts down on our productivity. Because someone has to come pick you up, rub your feet, you know, get you back to normal because you're

0:13:16
spk_0
 

way

0:13:17
spk_4
 

and hollering, then we're not stocking beef jerky.

0:13:20
spk_2
 

Yeah. Well, let's go back to basics. A foot rub. I think

0:13:23
spk_4
 

i know. But he demands it. Well, what

0:13:27
spk_1
 

well, let's go back to the basics. What was our best seller right when we opened that put us on top? Plain, beef, plain. Turkey. Jerky. Plain beef jerky. Okay.

0:13:39
spk_0
 

Yes.

0:13:40
spk_3
 

Plain. You just take a steak. You suck all the juice out of it, and you throw it out. You throw it. In a vacuum sealed bag. Well,

0:13:46
spk_4
 

no. You don't

0:13:47
spk_1
 

take And what it is You don't do? Nice

0:13:48
spk_4
 

steak. And he You don't

0:13:50
spk_1
 

what it is due when you opened it up for the first time. When you opened it up, what did it do to people around you?

0:13:59
spk_2
 

Past

0:13:59
spk_3
 

them out.

0:14:00
spk_1
 

Pass them out.

0:14:03
spk_4
 

That's very nice. Away

0:14:04
spk_1
 

from our tradition. I'm It was smelling salts, plain beef jerky, passed them out.

0:14:11
spk_3
 

Yeah. Past

0:14:13
spk_1
 

i think

0:14:13
spk_2
 

we got by the way, I think got hosed on the smell and salt. They're supposed to wake you up, not pass you out. I think we got reverse smell and salt.

0:14:21
spk_4
 

Well, I think can I be we got a few problems and we all know it? But 1 of the things I think we need to figure out is we have 1 person with an extreme salt aversion. And we have 1 person with an extreme salt obsession.

0:14:37
spk_2
 

Salt aversion. Hey.

0:14:42
spk_4
 

And then we got yours on. We always

0:14:44
spk_1
 

got yours on the jerky salt. Parodies, which I think you're doing really good.

0:14:52
spk_0
 

Is

0:14:54
spk_1
 

your son able to He's going around trying to get you booked.

0:14:59
spk_2
 

Right? That's what he says, but I'm certain to think he's not doing it. I'm starting to think he's going to the disco. Because what have you sent out a demo with him? Because I loved ray of beef. Quicker than a ray of beef. Thank you.

0:15:15
spk_4
 

You're welcome. I love

0:15:16
spk_0
 

that.

0:15:20
spk_4
 

I love that song, man. I can listen to that at a at a Super Bowl. And I feel like I'm thirsty now. Yeah. I feel.

0:15:44
spk_3
 

I see see, I think we're just I

0:15:46
spk_1
 

think we're doing the wrong thing. Did you just hear Ray of beef? That's genius. Let's leave this store right now and get on the road.

0:15:57
spk_4
 

Just sing recipes. You think you could? You think we could? You think we could at least do, like, I don't know, local fairs or something, you know, go on the road like a circus It's genius. I don't

0:16:10
spk_2
 

know that my throat can handle that much thing and I'm drinking a lot of the salt water over here. I could maybe

0:16:14
spk_1
 

do a show a week. Oh, my gosh. I'll stand in the background. I'll stump around on salt. You'll sing Ray of beef. Well,

0:16:24
spk_4
 

that's maybe good. Maybe we could do a Friday night. You know, madonna's here. I'm afraid. You know, you could dress up. I'm madonna's here. Madonna's
