This is a big week for Subtle Shores! Our new business consultant has arrived and has a lot of notes. We address the customer complaints such as the in-room coffee vending machines and an Opposite Day-installed sprinkler system. Skip asks for some guidance for his son's (Dennis the Lunatic) misbehavior and Dwayne shares feedback on his episode of Botched. And for the sake of transparency, we decide to each share our line-item budgets.

On the goings on, at the one hundred and twenty seventh best off beach, Gulf Coast vacation spot in the beautiful US of a, subtle shores, resort, and buffet. I of course am skip Powell.

spk_2
 

I am cronin Dwayne Newman. Hi. Hello and good morning everybody.

0:01:11
spk_3
 

I am, of course, Sydney Powell, Head of guest, relations, and entertainment.

0:01:16
spk_4
 

Hello. I am Joe Young. You can call me drop cloth and I am head of maintenance.

0:01:23
spk_1
 

That's right, folks. Thanks so much for tuning in today. You probably already heard. We, unfortunately, drop three in the rankings

0:01:33
spk_3
 

at this resort.

0:01:35
spk_4
 

Now when you when and you said we were a hundred and twenty fourth last week, in this area, because I think there at one hovering around one hundred is just a man's house

0:01:48
spk_1
 

that's true.

0:01:49
spk_4
 

It happens to be close to the beach that people park at. So the buck Yeah.

0:01:53
spk_3
 

He and MB's just the parking spot.

0:01:55
spk_2
 

Well, yeah. Lyle's house added a lemonade stand, his daughter did, and they shot past us on top of one hundred.

0:02:02
spk_1
 

And look, I'm not one to criticize the work a child, but that is just about the most sour lemonade I've ever had in my life. Add a little sugar, Denise.

0:02:10
spk_4
 

That's awesome. Believe we had

0:02:11
spk_3
 

an lemonade stand in the same week and theirs got the bump. What happened there, Skip?

0:02:18
spk_1
 

Well, a lot of people have been complaining about our lemonade as well. They say just tastes like sugar water. And I'll say this.

0:02:26
spk_4
 

There's not much lemon in it, they're saying.

0:02:28
spk_1
 

Let's let's just say

0:02:30
spk_3
 

simple, sir.

0:02:31
spk_1
 

The Grove is on the way. We, of course, thought it'd be cheaper to

0:02:35
spk_3
 

we like

0:02:36
spk_4
 

it to the shore. Yeah.

0:02:37
spk_1
 

We so we we planted a few lemon trees, not thinking about how long it would take for those to grow. Also, not thinking about the climate. We, of course, have trouble growing lemons in Well,

0:02:45
spk_3
 

we wanted to grow our own. We didn't wanna buy these mature trees, because we've been burned with that. Before.

0:02:50
spk_1
 

Exactly. You know, we our Sydney and I growing up, our father did own a a Christmas tree farm -- Yep. Mhmm. -- which a lot of people Farm.

0:03:00
spk_2
 

Go ahead. Sorry.

0:03:01
spk_1
 

What'd you say?

0:03:02
spk_2
 

Farm.

0:03:02
spk_1
 

Yes. It was a Christmas tree farm.

0:03:03
spk_4
 

Well, they bear they bore fruit. Yeah. These Christmas trees.

0:03:07
spk_3
 

Potentially, yeah, you sold them

0:03:09
spk_4
 

the Christmas fruit. Yeah. And was it fruit cake or or what was this?

0:03:14
spk_1
 

Well, a lot of people say they they were just pine cones and what we had was a pine fork.

0:03:18
spk_3
 

And we're pretty sure it was an unidentifiable fruit.

0:03:21
spk_1
 

Yeah. We we know that those are just sort of see, unidentified

0:03:25
spk_4
 

you guys kept submitting it to museums. Right?

0:03:29
spk_1
 

Of course. We wanted to get the lowdown. You know? We had all these very tall Christmas trees that were dropping unidentified fruit.

0:03:37
spk_3
 

Well, my question is what is a fruit? A fruit falls from a tree bears a seed. That seed goes into the ground and another tree grows. That's exactly what happens with a pine cone. You don't. And I've tried to eat one of these things. A lot better going in than it is going out.

0:03:52
spk_4
 

Yeah. You were less about the taste of something and more about its actual ability to grow another plan.

0:03:59
spk_3
 

Genius,

0:04:00
spk_4
 

yes. Genius. Genius families. Problem with ours was ours was more of a lemonade sit instead of a lemonade stand.

0:04:06
spk_5
 

That's right. Right?

0:04:07
spk_1
 

That is true. We sort of had just a sort of gingham blanket on the ground with a little sort of Well,

0:04:13
spk_2
 

i thought you guys were a little hard and fast with those rules. If someone wasn't sitting, they gotta eject it for the lemonade sit.

0:04:18
spk_1
 

Well

0:04:19
spk_2
 

and so that it you're you're killing your customers.

0:04:22
spk_3
 

Well, we wasted a lot of money on those ejector seats.

0:04:25
spk_2
 

Yes. I and wasted is exactly the word I would underline, man.

0:04:28
spk_3
 

Which is

0:04:29
spk_4
 

okay. Well, you did kinda go cheap because they were just Honda Civic. Under a tire. Right?

0:04:35
spk_3
 

So they still cost us a lot of money. We went cheap for ejector seats. We've been expensive for chairs.

0:04:40
spk_4
 

We've all seen the viral video of the man in the back of the Jiffy lube hit getting ejected off of the tire or just me?

0:04:46
spk_1
 

Which, of course, it was used in the neighbor's movies That was another place where the viral video was sort of enacted in a Right.

0:04:55
spk_4
 

One of our favorite things, taking a viral video, throwing it exact into the plot of a movie.

0:05:00
spk_3
 

Well, and I think this is something we need to learn from the lemonade

0:05:03
spk_0
 

--

0:05:03
spk_1
 

exactly, Sydney.

0:05:03
spk_0
 

--

0:05:03
spk_3
 

if the people don't like it, the exact way we make it, we shouldn't jump to punishing nope.

0:05:10
spk_4
 

As it The Helavac coming in, the Halifax sucking up the beaches again as you can hear.

0:05:15
spk_2
 

That's our helicopter you. Again, I will underline the wasted money part of this. Okay. I just feel like some of the things that we're getting to discussions about and I I call them complaints, but I guess we're calling them discussions from the customers -- Yeah.

0:05:28
spk_0
 

--

0:05:28
spk_2
 

is, you know, the coffee machines in the rooms are just Too big? Too big.

0:05:35
spk_4
 

Oh, come on. We had to go full six feet.

0:05:38
spk_3
 

We had to get one of those vending machines that's in an office that dispenses coffee for true.

0:05:43
spk_2
 

No, we didn't.

0:05:43
spk_1
 

So much less, we

0:05:44
spk_3
 

did because we want our customers to have choice. Listen, when my brother and I decided to make subtle shores, we said, this is gonna be different. Mhmm. Everyone's gonna have exactly what they need, and it's gonna be self serve.

0:05:58
spk_1
 

Go big. Or go home.

0:06:00
spk_3
 

And you invented that phrase.

0:06:02
spk_1
 

I did indeed. I'm the first person who ever said it.

0:06:04
spk_3
 

I love it.

0:06:05
spk_1
 

I can't be true. Yes. It actually is true because when my brother and I were just young ones, we were putting together Halloween costumes. Mhmm. And I wanted to be the incredible hulk and our dad was

0:06:20
spk_3
 

he made you go as the incredible She hulk.

0:06:22
spk_1
 

He did? He said, we don't have enough material to make you the hulk, so we're just gonna make you

0:06:27
spk_2
 

she hulk is more material. She has breasts.

0:06:29
spk_1
 

Right. But she's less

0:06:30
spk_3
 

yes. She did.

0:06:30
spk_1
 

There's less bulk.

0:06:32
spk_3
 

Yes. She did. Absolutely.

0:06:34
spk_4
 

Yeah. That that

0:06:36
spk_3
 

we've all seen the pictures.

0:06:37
spk_2
 

Well, you guys want a lot of the the what it would they were called the unfortunate costume contest. For sexiest kids' costumes.

0:06:44
spk_1
 

That's true.

0:06:44
spk_3
 

That's right.

0:06:45
spk_1
 

Also, I had a problem with being entered into a sexiest kid costume contest in the first place.

0:06:50
spk_3
 

He made Migo as Shewerewolf. Mhmm. Yeah. Of

0:06:53
spk_4
 

course. You guys ended up actually on stage at the big apple. Right? Give it a little dance

0:06:58
spk_3
 

for some trouble.

0:06:59
spk_4
 

We were at the big apple. Was upsetting.

0:07:03
spk_2
 

And this is not New York City. This is a truck stop. Sounds a big apple. Right?

0:07:06
spk_4
 

It's a truck stop with with a haphazard stripping pole.

0:07:10
spk_2
 

Which I obviously know because I I played a few new years there in a row when my booker was getting confused. I played the big apple and I was doing the ball drop.

0:07:18
spk_4
 

Oh, yeah. You also played the windy city. Right? And where was that?

0:07:21
spk_3
 

That was at a Wendy's. The

0:07:23
spk_4
 

yeah. Wendy's. Yeah. It was the only Wendy's that's big enough to house an entire ZIP code. Right?

0:07:28
spk_2
 

Yeah. That was that's the huge Wendy's in eastern Washington state. Wow. And it is also they've got one of those you all know it. We've discussed it before amongst ourselves, but one of the tornado sheens with dollars that you get at a magazine drive. Uh-huh. And so that's why it was so windy also.

0:07:45
spk_3
 

Well, I take your note on us wasting this money, and I think it is time you know, let's take this serious. Yeah. We've been here, we've gotten our feet wet. It is time to take this serious. It is time to show the guests what they came here for and give him some fun.

0:08:01
spk_1
 

And that's yeah. And then we've we've we've enacted that philosophy at this point.

0:08:05
spk_3
 

That's right.

0:08:06
spk_1
 

You know, you guys, obviously, we've spent this past week with this new business consultant, which is very very exciting development

0:08:14
spk_3
 

i I will say I did not think I was gonna like this guy.

0:08:16
spk_1
 

Me either. You never Came in grease

0:08:18
spk_4
 

hair -- Yep.

0:08:19
spk_0
 

--

0:08:19
spk_3
 

beautiful suit. Mhmm. Honestly looked great. And that is the first sign that I'm not gonna like somebody.

0:08:24
spk_1
 

Yeah. You know, you don't want somebody to come in and immediately make you feel bad about yourself just upon

0:08:29
spk_2
 

you must feel bad every time I walk into a room. Number one room.

0:08:33
spk_3
 

No. It doesn't what somehow when you walk into a room, I it's on I'm on the face. I'm happy to see you, of course.

0:08:39
spk_2
 

Well, okay, obviously, we're not looking up at the pristine face. I don't look at day over sixty, do I?

0:08:45
spk_3
 

I don't know, man.

0:08:47
spk_2
 

Okay. Well, oh, call it my plastic surgeon. If I look over sixty, I get my money back. So I gotta call the guy up.

0:08:53
spk_3
 

Feels like this is not the first time I've heard you make claim and you're sort of testing your password searching. You're getting a lot of free work

0:09:01
spk_4
 

because Your botched come out yet.

0:09:04
spk_2
 

No. The the net they're getting a lot of issues with back and forth with the network sensors on my botched.

0:09:10
spk_4
 

Oh, they

0:09:11
spk_3
 

they wanted to blur everything.

0:09:12
spk_5
 

It's

0:09:12
spk_2
 

gotten to a point where showing face on TV makes something on n c seventeen.

0:09:18
spk_1
 

And now in what in what direction? Because, you know, some things get rated n c seventeen for sort of sexual sexual connotations, some things get rated n c seventeen for gore.

0:09:27
spk_2
 

I get I get

0:09:31
spk_3
 

your face is gold.

0:09:32
spk_2
 

I just And we shouldn't

0:09:34
spk_3
 

be saying this to our friend and performer. He's gorgeous folks.

0:09:38
spk_2
 

Come on gas, spend

0:09:39
spk_3
 

money in the lounge.

0:09:41
spk_2
 

Well, yes, I get gore and I get R o d, of course, which is reminder of death. If you remind people too much of death, then they put that rating way up. It's looking at me. Remind people that time moves one direction, unfortunately, and it's towards the grave.

0:09:54
spk_4
 

That's right.

0:09:55
spk_2
 

But the good news is that when that Bosch does come out, it'll tell my story, and I think I'll some sympathy, of course, about the butt issues that I

0:10:04
spk_4
 

you wanted to go smaller. You wanted to get a butt reduction?

0:10:07
spk_2
 

Yes. I said the pendulum swings one way and then the other. So when break the Internet came out obviously, Kim Kardashian put her champagne glass on a butt. I said I'm going the other direction.

0:10:17
spk_3
 

You went concave.

0:10:18
spk_2
 

And I went concave

0:10:20
spk_3
 

so your butt cheeks sort of go in from your back yard.

0:10:22
spk_1
 

And so

0:10:22
spk_2
 

if you look through my butt, you know, the person you're looking at's face looks huge.

0:10:26
spk_4
 

Yeah. Right. You could use you could use your ways to burn ants. Right?

0:10:30
spk_2
 

Canon do, unfortunately.

0:10:33
spk_3
 

Unfortunately, Well, and that was -- Yeah.

0:10:34
spk_0
 

--

0:10:34
spk_5
 

we

0:10:34
spk_3
 

do have to apologize for the folks in bungalow sixteen.

0:10:38
spk_2
 

Yes. So yeah.

0:10:38
spk_3
 

Accidentally, you were taking a morning walk and burnt down one of the palm trees right out side there. You cut it down.

0:10:45
spk_2
 

Yes. So I broke down the aunts in room sixteen because of the Paul drew situation.

0:10:50
spk_4
 

Oh, so you were looking for ants. You found a a bunch of brother's sisters?

0:10:59
spk_3
 

You said any any antle do?

0:11:02
spk_2
 

That's right. I was I was wasn't disturbing on my day.

0:11:06
spk_4
 

And I meant to say daddy's sisters, not brother's sisters.

0:11:08
spk_1
 

We all understood. But joke's still in.

0:11:10
spk_4
 

Okay. Good.

0:11:11
spk_2
 

But what what I digress and two. I do I do wanna say Don't make me regret merging my bank account with the businesses because we

0:11:22
spk_1
 

listen, we don't. We all have that fear. You know, when we all took on responsibility here, We all we all had that fear that we would be at we would end up in a worse place than we started. And I'll tell you this, guys, based on the suggestions of this new business consultant, I think Which did

0:11:37
spk_4
 

we talk about the hair in the suit?

0:11:39
spk_1
 

We did. We did we did mention it. I don't think we can emphasize quite enough.

0:11:43
spk_3
 

You really had a reaction when he walked in.

0:11:46
spk_4
 

I mean, I am a sucker for a a big pinstripe suit.

0:11:52
spk_5
 

Mhmm. You

0:11:53
spk_4
 

know, it's it screams class. And he he rolled up and he quickly said, why is the lobby closed and most of the rooms closed? And I said, I'm going over the sprinkler system. Right? And he laid into me. Yeah. He laid into me and I

0:12:09
spk_2
 

because the sprinkler system works exclusively when there are not fires, but we're having a lot of trouble with fires happen, the sprinklers turned off. It's like a reverse. Yes.

0:12:17
spk_3
 

Well, the sensor is active.

0:12:18
spk_2
 

That's which is good.

0:12:19
spk_3
 

And the sensor's opposite, which is yeah.

0:12:21
spk_4
 

It was in stalled backwards.

0:12:23
spk_2
 

There's a slow on opposites day, unfortunately.

0:12:26
spk_4
 

Yes. I, of course, had

0:12:27
spk_3
 

that counts.

0:12:28
spk_4
 

Yeah. I was Yeah. I was wearing shorts instead of long pants. Right.

0:12:36
spk_3
 

Which can disorient you.

0:12:37
spk_4
 

Long sleeves because I normally have the short sleeves on. And I installed the sprinklers on opposite day too. So, yeah, we had a problem with that, but I think they're working now, so that's good. I flipped the valve around. So that's good.

0:12:50
spk_1
 

It's such a simple fix.

0:12:51
spk_4
 

Yes. I unfortunately, as you guys know, the grass grew down, as I installed the sod that day.

0:12:57
spk_3
 

That's right. That's right.

0:12:58
spk_2
 

I was, of course, the it's the only day every year my son calls me to tell me he loves me. Because because he calls

0:13:05
spk_4
 

you the rest of the days and says he hates you?

0:13:07
spk_2
 

Yep. Every three hundred and sixty four days a year, my son, Duane Newman junior which is not what he goes by anymore, calls me to say dad, I hate you and I say, first of all, things acknowledging on your father.

0:13:18
spk_4
 

Yes. And really quickly, your real name is Wayne Knight, but you changed your name to Duane Newman. You're -- Because

0:13:23
spk_0
 

--

0:13:24
spk_2
 

course, I am Wayne Newton's brother. There's a lot of our family aren't going to be associated with each other and so petulately changing our name.

0:13:31
spk_3
 

I have to say, I'm I'm really sorry for that. I'm really sorry your son calls you and says that to you. You're a great guy, and

0:13:36
spk_4
 

you don't deserve that.

0:13:37
spk_2
 

Thank you.

0:13:38
spk_1
 

As a man who has issues with his son as well, I can tell you that it it truly just doesn't feel good. And I feel like I can empathize with you in a way that maybe our other two friends here can't, as they are not

0:13:49
spk_3
 

i was the first one to apologize. So, obviously, I can empathize with him. What are you talking about?

0:13:53
spk_4
 

I'm just You just stole his empathy.

0:13:55
spk_3
 

You're not the only one with empathy.

0:13:57
spk_4
 

Okay. I

0:13:57
spk_1
 

think I think that empathy stealer. No.

0:13:59
spk_4
 

He's an empathieser.

0:14:00
spk_3
 

No. You know, can I say, I've really taken to your crooning? And sometimes I walk around and this is crazy because I know I'm just a fun time guy, but I croon.

0:14:13
spk_2
 

Hey. Then that's the whole thing with crooning is you want everyone to think they can croon. Yes. If you croon so well that people think they can, you're doing your job right and I've heard you croon around the block.

0:14:22
spk_3
 

And I can't, you're saying.

0:14:23
spk_2
 

No. No. I'm saying crooning away my friend. I'm not threatened by you. I love to hear anyone crooning because it means that crooning is not dead. Which I, you know, a lot. Obviously, when my album came out, the the New York Times front page, Saturday night dead, they said.

0:14:40
spk_3
 

Right. And then when you go back to a six, it said crooning is dead. When you follow the headline to the second -- Right.

0:14:48
spk_2
 

Yes. Yes. I made it which a six is the furthest I've made it onto the New York Times besides the criminal.

0:14:58
spk_3
 

What you are using? You're all kinda

0:15:00
spk_1
 

leave with you. And it's also not a police blotter or anything like that. It is the criminal page.

0:15:05
spk_3
 

But but, yes, but there have been an ink plot before as well.

0:15:08
spk_2
 

Yes. I've ink plotted on the times. I've been a Sudoku a few times.

0:15:14
spk_1
 

A very an intermediate to heart also.

0:15:17
spk_2
 

Yes. Intermediate to heart Sudoku, if you Because my my if you do the numbers right, it spells out my name. I don't to explain it. Obviously, I make the Sunday Crossword about once a month -- Right.

You think you're a great clue.

0:15:31
spk_5
 

Yeah. I'm

0:15:32
spk_2
 

a fantastic clue. But we gotta go back a second and just discuss your son

0:15:37
spk_0
 

--

0:15:37
spk_2
 

right. -- Dennis The lunatic has not you haven't gotten him under control. And I I don't know. This is maybe a way we can use this this podcast is maybe give us some feedback of what you all think open the conversation. Do people feel about corporal punishment on kids? Spanking. Yeah. Because my dad gave me the belt regularly, and it's not something that's nice to talk about. But we were a classic family, you know. Yeah.

0:16:02
spk_3
 

And now your son hates you and maybe they're maybe they're related.

0:16:06
spk_2
 

I wonder if I should have belted my son more. Obviously, what and it's not it's the way we would do it is by

0:16:12
spk_3
 

you wonder if you should have?

0:16:13
spk_2
 

We in our family, we put the belt on a little too tight. And that's the one you know you're getting punishment. When you get the belt, as your dad puts the belt on you and he cinches it one hole too tight.

0:16:23
spk_3
 

Well, that's that's not so bad. I thought you were No.

0:16:25
spk_4
 

So you weren't spanking him. You were putting the belt on him and giving him a little tight place.

0:16:28
spk_2
 

A little tight belt. So you're telling me a little more, you're a little more self conscious. I see.

0:16:34
spk_1
 

No. I just I I I think this is actually very good. If anybody if anybody has any issues with Dennis, my son, I'm not gonna call him the lunatic, although that's what he see he has been been referred to around here. Well, as

0:16:45
spk_4
 

you can see, my hand is soup super glued to my stomach. So that's obviously Dennis. Right.

0:16:52
spk_1
 

Dennis, of course, does does the old trick where he puts superglue on your hand, and then he tickles your belly with a feather while you're asleep. Yes. He'll also he'll tickle all sorts of different spots on your body to try to get you to stick your hand to yourself.

0:17:06
spk_3
 

Well, one day, he accidentally I was sleeping face down, and he tickled I'm not gonna go there, but I got my hands stuck in my butt. Okay? And

0:17:15
spk_1
 

in your butt.

0:17:16
spk_3
 

Yeah. It's where you tickle.

0:17:17
spk_2
 

Well, and we checked on security footage and couldn't see him coming in or out of your room.

0:17:20
spk_3
 

I'm pretty positive what was happening was that this lunatic kid came in and tickled me with a fact. You can't

0:17:27
spk_4
 

keep blaming Dennis The lunatic, your butt play. It's alright. You like

0:17:31
spk_3
 

a little butt butt. Why would I have had super glue all over my own hand?

0:17:35
spk_4
 

It was a post panic

0:17:38
spk_0
 

--

0:17:38
spk_3
 

okay.

0:17:39
spk_0
 

--

0:17:39
spk_1
 

blame on Dennis.

0:17:40
spk_2
 

And and but play is okay. I mean, me being in the industry, You you do all sorts of stuff because fans wanna do stuff you hear stories. Frankie, Dino would always talk about about play. Mhmm. Drake, we all know, does it. I think it's you should be comfortable with something like that. I am. Okay.

0:17:55
spk_3
 

That's not what happened. The lunatic came in and tickled my feather and butthole.

0:18:00
spk_1
 

Well, listen, I'm gonna you guys this. My goal

0:18:01
spk_2
 

solar bubble.

0:18:02
spk_6
 

What do

0:18:02
spk_5
 

you know

0:18:02
spk_3
 

what I mean?

0:18:03
spk_1
 

I had a I had a sort of one on one consultation with the with our consultant, and he mentioned

0:18:08
spk_4
 

about your son about

0:18:08
spk_3
 

what is his name? Was it was it Parsnip? I thought it was Parson. Parson.

0:18:12
spk_4
 

I thought it was Nutmeg. What is his name?

0:18:20
spk_1
 

Parsonate. Parsonate. We'll think

0:18:22
spk_3
 

of it. Was it oregano?

0:18:24
spk_4
 

Erega. Yes.

0:18:28
spk_2
 

Yes. A regga yes.

0:18:30
spk_1
 

It was a regga

0:18:31
spk_4
 

yes. Okay. So our business consultant a regga yes. Yes.

0:18:35
spk_3
 

No. No. It wasn't. No. It was food.

0:18:39
spk_1
 

It was food, but it was not a reggae yet.

0:18:41
spk_4
 

We can use oregano. Yes, if we want. Carrot?

0:18:45
spk_3
 

No. Karen.

0:18:47
spk_4
 

Karen. Is it a woman?

0:18:49
spk_1
 

It's definitely a man in a in a nice, beautiful pinch striped suit with his hair slicked back. Parsnib. It might have been It

0:18:56
spk_4
 

was Parsnib.

0:18:57
spk_1
 

It was Parsnib.

0:18:57
spk_2
 

And we're right back to the beginning of March.

0:18:59
spk_1
 

But I had a one on one called consultation with Parsonip. And he and he said one of the first order of businesses, he actually suggested I send my son to boarding school. And I'll tell you this.

0:19:09
spk_2
 

That's great. CoSign.

0:19:10
spk_1
 

I I have to agree.

0:19:12
spk_2
 

Hey, sorry.

0:19:13
spk_3
 

For my right hand covered in superglue cosine.

0:19:15
spk_1
 

I'm just I you gotta you guys have to understand what that would mean for my family. We haven't spent more than a couple days apart for his entire life. You know? He's he's ten years old or or so. And and he he hasn't had a day without his mom and his dad in his whole life. The idea of sending him away to boarding school. I mean, that feels like such an extreme thing. If I'm thinking back to me as a kid, if I if I had gone away to boarding school, who knows what happened? You know? Mhmm. Me and Sydney had had a rough time as kids two had our issues. We did. But we made it through because we had each other, and I'm afraid if I send this kid off to boarding school, he's gonna end up in solitary. He's gonna he's not gonna Confinement. Yeah. You know?

0:19:54
spk_2
 

That's prison. They don't do that at a boarding school.

0:19:57
spk_3
 

I I don't believe so.

0:19:58
spk_2
 

Have you been Can

0:19:59
spk_5
 

i can I

0:19:59
spk_2
 

make a little armchair psychologist, head shrinker here?

0:20:03
spk_1
 

Sure.

0:20:03
spk_2
 

Mhmm. I think that you're actually you can't last without him. I think that's what you're saying.

0:20:08
spk_1
 

It's interesting that you say the same thing my that my wife says. And I because I I feel like you've had a conversation with her because

0:20:13
spk_2
 

because she

0:20:14
spk_3
 

wants to send her to boarding school for sure.

0:20:16
spk_1
 

She's actually

0:20:17
spk_4
 

are you still getting coffee with Skip's wife?

0:20:20
spk_2
 

Yes. She's a dear dear friend, and she's a dear friend of mine. And we like to chat, and we really have not to feed her.

0:20:26
spk_3
 

And you guys will do long coffee dates.

0:20:28
spk_2
 

I love coffees.

0:20:29
spk_1
 

They hold on. They're not dates, though. They're just chats.

0:20:32
spk_3
 

We're just talking Chook them to the house.

0:20:33
spk_2
 

But I'll let

0:20:34
spk_4
 

i better watch your back, Skip.

0:20:36
spk_2
 

You do not have to worry.

0:20:38
spk_1
 

You guys know me. I'm not a jealous guy.

0:20:40
spk_4
 

I I That is true. You're almost too not jealous. Yeah.

0:20:43
spk_1
 

I I say everybody live your life As long as she comes home to me, at some point, it's fine.

0:20:48
spk_2
 

Well, and I I said the same thing to Fred Dirst at Woodstock ninety nine. You know, we the in this industry, If you love somebody and they come back home to you, who cares what they're doing? Which fan they're hanging with or whatever, you know.

0:21:01
spk_1
 

Yeah. Exactly. And that's

0:21:02
spk_4
 

how I thought you were there, you were the mud man. Right?

0:21:04
spk_2
 

At Woodstock nine ninety. Yeah. Added mud. I was a little down business wise, so I started mud business, and I did woodstocks. I was doing warp tours.

0:21:12
spk_4
 

So you bring in mud for people to slide around.

0:21:14
spk_3
 

What's a great business? Because sometimes you run out of mud as long as you have a

0:21:17
spk_4
 

hose What

0:21:17
spk_1
 

if it's not raining? Yeah.

0:21:19
spk_2
 

Exactly. And that was that's kinda my pitch. That's what it said on my business card, way new one get your mud, what if it's not raining?

0:21:25
spk_3
 

That's right. Well, I just have to say, listen, after parsnip coming through, I think it really put us all put us all on notice

0:21:33
spk_0
 

--

0:21:33
spk_3
 

yeah. -- that it's time to

0:21:34
spk_4
 

approve this place.

0:21:35
spk_3
 

Yeah. Mhmm. I fixed a hole in two boats -- Mhmm.

0:21:38
spk_0
 

--

0:21:39
spk_3
 

two boats -- Which

0:21:39
spk_1
 

is famous for history.

0:21:40
spk_3
 

Sitting on the dock. Mhmm.

0:21:42
spk_4
 

He's trying to give us he's trying to lean us out.

0:21:46
spk_1
 

Yeah. And well, because as as He said, you know, there's a little bit of stink on Settle Shores. He says the reputation of the resort is, you know, not one obviously, we're hundred and twenty seventh on the the associate's list of best resorts

0:22:00
spk_0
 

--

0:22:00
spk_4
 

and climbing.

0:22:00
spk_0
 

--

0:22:01
spk_1
 

and well, and falling. And so Well, numbers I guess number The number slide. It's yeah. The directional issue here is interesting, you know. He did say it might be best. For us to try to rebrand, for us to try to to to potentially shoot some new ads, to potentially renovate. So we've all got we've all got some tasks in front of us for the next few weeks.

0:22:24
spk_3
 

But when we first started this, I think we all thought, hey, resort life. Mhmm. You're gonna go down there and work, but you also just kinda live the resort life. No. This takes work. Yeah. And we are ready to do that work. And I've been seeing improvements from each and every one of you guys.

0:22:39
spk_4
 

Thank you.

0:22:39
spk_3
 

And I really appreciate it. This is the first time I've ever taken myself seriously in my whole life.

0:22:44
spk_1
 

And I can vouch for that.

0:22:46
spk_3
 

But I just want to say, that I appreciate you guys.

0:22:50
spk_4
 

Yeah.

0:22:51
spk_3
 

Okay? And from now on, I'm gonna stop drinking on the boats.

0:22:55
spk_1
 

Hey. Okay. Step.

0:22:56
spk_5
 

And from

0:22:56
spk_3

0:22:58
spk_2
 

Wow.

0:22:59
spk_6
 

Hey.

0:22:59
spk_3
 

And from now on, I swear to God, I'm not gonna sleep on floor.

0:23:02
spk_2
 

Small changes. Let's do small cabinets there. Just a little coffee.

0:23:05
spk_3
 

And I'm gonna drink water now.

0:23:07
spk_5
 

It's a

0:23:08
spk_2
 

great I I'm all yes.

0:23:09
spk_1
 

You know what? What if we all just today? Today, we all just commit to drinking a little bit of water.

0:23:14
spk_3
 

Let's drink water.

0:23:14
spk_1
 

That's an easy actionable choice.

0:23:16
spk_2
 

I is this including the water that melts into my my tithes? Because I'm now a number six that's probably my eighth couple of water.

0:23:22
spk_4
 

Yeah. I'll do crystal light, but I'm not going straight down to water.

0:23:26
spk_3
 

Okay. Well, Chris, that is the taste growth for both of

0:23:29
spk_5
 

you guys.

0:23:29
spk_4
 

Mastering I

0:23:30
spk_3
 

know you used to do your mottize no ice

0:23:33
spk_0
 

--

0:23:33
spk_3
 

yes. -- straight liquor. And I know you used to have only drink warm soda.

0:23:38
spk_4
 

Yeah. I like it hot out of the back of a car.

0:23:42
spk_3
 

I hear you, buddy.

0:23:43
spk_4
 

I like my yeah. I like my dairy cokes hot out of the

0:23:45
spk_3
 

back of the car. Just not good

0:23:46
spk_4
 

for we need

0:23:47
spk_3
 

you we need you to get to water, you know? I saw you one time last week you peed in the toilet, dude flush. It looked like you had peed motor oil. It was black. Yeah.

0:23:57
spk_2
 

Which I for me, that's a man's peed. That's a guy. That's how I

0:24:01
spk_4
 

well, you guys know, you can jump a boat off with me, and you can also use my p to to gear grease some gears. I know. I mean, I can go down to the basement and I can fix a eighty watt electric motor simply by taking a leak.

0:24:16
spk_3
 

Well, as long as you got a soda.

0:24:17
spk_1
 

I noticed in in the budget, that you that you submit for your department, I noticed that there was actually no line for motor oil or or w d forty or any of those things

0:24:30
spk_3
 

that norm no. There was a section, but it was empty.

0:24:33
spk_4
 

I've been part of the handyman empire for so long that my body is actually starting to create some of my supplies.

0:24:41
spk_1
 

That's beautiful.

0:24:42
spk_4
 

So like oil, w d forty, my ears, are almost like a silicone lubricant, a dry rub that you can put on the waxes.

0:24:51
spk_3
 

I know the same thing. If I do enough cocaine and then sleep on the dock, and dry out enough

0:24:56
spk_0
 

--

0:24:57
spk_5
 

yeah.

0:24:57
spk_0
 

--

0:24:57
spk_3
 

the salt crystals start to form around my lips, get me re high.

0:25:01
spk_1
 

Wow. Wow.

0:25:02
spk_3
 

Salt life.

0:25:04
spk_4
 

Yeah. When I actually

0:25:05
spk_2
 

that sounds more like cocaine life.

0:25:07
spk_3
 

Well, cocaine salt life.

0:25:09
spk_1
 

And now, well, guys and and we should say, we're taking baby steps because we we have a sort of we have a sort of date on the books.

0:25:16
spk_2
 

Literally for some of us, obviously, you haven't seen my botched yet, but I'm taking baby steps every day. Due to my new petite feet.

0:25:25
spk_4
 

Yes. Very small.

0:25:27
spk_3
 

Well, they had they botched your extra large feet.

0:25:31
spk_4
 

They went the other way. Right?

0:25:32
spk_2
 

I wouldn't. And I clearly showed them. I said, this is Shaquille O'Neil shoe. I wanna fit into that. And I don't know where

0:25:38
spk_1
 

you sort of ended up with the sort of legs of a dinner table.

0:25:41
spk_3
 

Well, they thought you meant that you wanted your whole body to fit into the shoes. Yes. And you caught them they work their way.

0:25:46
spk_2
 

Very well.

0:25:48
spk_4
 

And and I find this attractive, but but you are you do have hooves.

0:25:52
spk_3
 

Yeah. And I find it very attractive

0:25:54
spk_5
 

as well.

0:25:54
spk_4
 

I find it attractive.

0:25:55
spk_2
 

Well and that has been my argument. Is it?

0:25:58
spk_4
 

I find you attract him.

0:25:59
spk_5
 

Thank you.

0:26:00
spk_3
 

That's so wrong.

0:26:02
spk_2
 

Yes, you will see me clomping around. This is I don't know if we want to get into this, we haven't yet.

0:26:09
spk_5
 

This might be

0:26:10
spk_4
 

i thought it was gonna be a crooner, but it wasn't.

0:26:12
spk_2
 

Well, that's the thing when you're a crooner, you're always keeping people on their toes. Maybe.

0:26:17
spk_4
 

Yes. There it is. Five.

0:26:18
spk_2
 

I don't wanna get into this. There there but there's been some controversy controversy.

0:26:22
spk_4
 

Yes. Now which is sexist.

0:26:24
spk_3
 

Thoughtful of you to say that.

0:26:25
spk_4
 

Really sexist this new term of yours.

0:26:28
spk_2
 

No. Controvershey. I say Hurstree. I say controversy. I call God goddess. You know, it is I am a

0:26:35
spk_3
 

how do we love it?

0:26:36
spk_4
 

But you really heavily use controversy.

0:26:41
spk_1
 

The negative one.

0:26:42
spk_2
 

Well, because if it's if I am having a controversy, it's never with the man. Men do never bring up their problems with me, but the women continue to. Okay. And and I'll say this also. Women love me. Don't we ladies the women out there that come by the room.

0:26:56
spk_4
 

Quiet from the pool. Yeah. No one even turned. We are out here by the pool, DJ Miles Miles DJ. Yes.

0:27:04
spk_2
 

But there's bits of controversy obviously over my Christmas albums that came out last year and one of the reasons I partnered with this business, of course, that a lot of people have accused me of being Jewish.

0:27:16
spk_3
 

They come up and they say, we know.

0:27:18
spk_4
 

Yeah. It's an accusation. It's a strong accusation.

0:27:21
spk_2
 

And and, you know, my birth certificates have come out with my Yeah. We we have several, first of all. Yes. Well, I've been Well, they

0:27:28
spk_1
 

were reissued and they were reissued when you legally changed your name.

0:27:31
spk_2
 

Reissued when I

0:27:32
spk_4
 

changed And how

0:27:33
spk_2
 

how could

0:27:33
spk_4
 

they tell your from your birth certificate that you were due? Was it a Jewish birth certificate? Last name.

0:27:40
spk_2
 

Oh, okay. Yeah. Obviously, before Neumann, I was Nuckman.

0:27:45
spk_4
 

Okay. So you was Hold on. Your name was Wayne Knight. So at one point, your

0:27:51
spk_3
 

well, that is your name before that was Newman.

0:27:55
spk_4
 

Let's just go over this. It's what It can't be too complicated for me.

0:27:59
spk_2
 

Okay. Well, yeah, I guess so because that is what we said to those boarders way Right?

0:28:03
spk_4
 

Right.

0:28:03
spk_2
 

Yes. You

0:28:04
spk_4
 

changed your name to Dwayne Newman.

0:28:06
spk_2
 

That's a really important number. Before all that

0:28:08
spk_4
 

dwayne Newman.

0:28:09
spk_2
 

But I I guess I was being a little bit misleading. We Wayne Newman, my brother.

0:28:14
spk_4
 

Mhmm. Wayne, yes.

0:28:16
spk_2
 

What's that? Wayne Newton. Wayne Newton, my brother

0:28:18
spk_0
 

--

0:28:18
spk_6
 

yes.

0:28:18
spk_0
 

--

0:28:18
spk_2
 

and I were both born Jewish as the Nuckmans. And we both wanted to get away from our heritage, so we could put out Christmas albums. Not shame. Just there's more money in Christmas albums, the chronic albums. But but bring that all back around. It's also the reason I I point to my cloven hooves and I say, how could I be Jewish? How can I be Jewish? I have the the hooves of the devil.

0:28:41
spk_4
 

So is this?

0:28:43
spk_3
 

Is that a sign?

0:28:44
spk_2
 

I am as Jewish as a goat or the devil.

0:28:48
spk_4
 

So the feat -- Which

0:28:49
spk_3
 

a lot of Christians would say

0:28:52
spk_2
 

yes. A lot of Christians

0:28:53
spk_6
 

would say

0:28:53
spk_0
 

--

0:28:53
spk_4
 

the feat Surgy was kind of a gentile proof thing or what was it?

0:28:57
spk_2
 

No. It was a I would say it was a silver lining to a huge mistake. I wanted huge feet, like, Shaquille O'Neil. And I ended up with tiny little hooves and I said, well, we could spin this and I've got the best PR crew in the gig gig.

0:29:12
spk_3
 

That's right. Because you're not a part of any game. Yeah. You have the best And your PR won your gig.

0:29:19
spk_4
 

And this the the the contract is gig by gig. Right?

0:29:22
spk_6
 

They

0:29:22
spk_4
 

won't represent you for a month or so. No.

0:29:24
spk_2
 

They won't take me on for a long time. They won't be on retainer.

0:29:27
spk_3
 

And there's a lot of bold that specifies this is a gig, not a job.

0:29:32
spk_2
 

Yes. Yeah. They don't want to be on their book. They don't want their other clients seeing they're working way

0:29:37
spk_3
 

they pay you way under the table.

0:29:38
spk_4
 

And you're gonna and if you're gonna meet them, it has to be in a well lit area?

0:29:43
spk_2
 

Yeah. Well, that's that's in every that is in everybody's rider with me.

0:29:48
spk_3
 

But you have to wear a disguise.

0:29:49
spk_4
 

Mike in a Luvs gas station or something.

0:29:52
spk_2
 

Yeah. I have to show so I show up into the Luvs in one of my different disguises to meet my You're exactly even because they are so scared of being seen with me. But because what it will do with their PR.

0:30:10
spk_3
 

And they're scared to be seen with you pre their PR.

0:30:13
spk_2
 

Pre their PR. It won't be well, it's they turned down a lot of my PR requests. Right.

0:30:18
spk_5
 

You know, I

0:30:18
spk_2
 

said the stuff you've seen is just

0:30:19
spk_1
 

what they

0:30:20
spk_2
 

were saying.

0:30:20
spk_1
 

And the company you work with is technically a crisis PR company. Right?

0:30:24
spk_2
 

Like, they were there for enron They were there for enron, Blackwater.

0:30:28
spk_3
 

Yeah. To Halliburton. Yeah.

0:30:30
spk_2
 

Yeah. Yeah. Halliburton Exxon

0:30:32
spk_1
 

around the Beldes.

0:30:33
spk_2
 

Yes, sir. And the Valides, they've they worked with a lot of the bad boys of history, and they still Speedy. They said we've do we worked with b p

0:30:39
spk_5
 

and we

0:30:39
spk_2
 

still won't be with you. Well, it's

0:30:41
spk_4
 

because you killed off about five hundred thousand ducks at one point. Right?

0:30:46
spk_2
 

Yes. Obviously, and I I did a beach concert where my singing

0:30:55
spk_4
 

they had to wash off the with Don detergent.

0:30:58
spk_2
 

Yeah. And and and by the way, Don does not pay me any anything for those commercials. Wow.

0:31:03
spk_1
 

No. They used clips.

0:31:03
spk_3
 

Those commercials were shot at your county.

0:31:05
spk_4
 

They Yes.

0:31:06
spk_1
 

Slip from your concerts in their commercials showing them wash the ducks off.

0:31:10
spk_2
 

Yeah. And and I I, you know, I bet they pay boo Bla when they use him singing, you know, Everything's better now, and he sings to the ducks and it heals them.

0:31:17
spk_3
 

Well, thank God they pay him because he helps you out.

0:31:20
spk_2
 

Well, at end of the day, yeah, jokes on them because Bubele is loaning me money. I obviously drive around the least Bube Play mobile.

0:31:28
spk_4
 

Boopley, of course, paying for your Hyundai.

0:31:31
spk_2
 

Yeah. If they if they didn't pay Boopley, guess what? I'd have to pay rent on that backhouse that I stay in that buble lives in the front house with my wife.

0:31:39
spk_3
 

X wife or wife?

0:31:41
spk_2
 

X wife. Yes.

0:31:42
spk_4
 

And have they found you back there yet? Or you still got the bed underneath the couch?

0:31:46
spk_2
 

Well, I I had a close call the other night, but I convinced them it was ghosts. Luckily at buble and my wife, for a little bit, they believe in the supernatural. So Little did. Right. Yeah. Yeah. They're a lot dense.

0:31:57
spk_3
 

Booble Booble came in for a nice meal the other night, and boy was he entertaining, but just a just a schmuck.

0:32:03
spk_4
 

Yeah. He came into corroborators and really really dined. Yeah?

0:32:08
spk_1
 

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He did.

0:32:09
spk_2
 

Which is very nice of him. That meal was just keeping a float I think right now.

0:32:13
spk_6
 

I think

0:32:13
spk_1
 

that's at this point. Yeah.

0:32:14
spk_2
 

I I would we don't we discussed a little bit, you know, your line items and how you're not putting some of that. So I mean, maybe we should I'd like to get people a behind the scenes of running a business maybe. We can all talk about our line item budgets here. Yeah. And just to tuck on the air, you know, what we're cutting for.

0:32:28
spk_1
 

Now that was something that that Parsonsib said. He said there needs to be way more transparency. You guys stop gotta stop keeping secrets from each other and keeping secrets from the business bureaus. So so the partner And really, we're excited.

0:32:41
spk_5
 

Yes.

0:32:41
spk_3
 

We're not hiding any of

0:32:42
spk_1
 

those stories. Not at all. Of course, I I did Go ahead. I had to add Internet to the budget. You know, we'd, of course, been

0:32:51
spk_3
 

operating for

0:32:51
spk_5
 

a while.

0:32:51
spk_4
 

We have been stealing we have been stealing from a neighbor.

0:32:54
spk_1
 

We've been stealing from the public library that's next to the resort for the last few years.

0:32:58
spk_2
 

A lot of people ask about the location of the resort, and one of the big reasons we're here is because the public library and Wi Fi is it was close. Hey.

0:33:05
spk_1
 

And I'll tell you this. Good on them for getting whatever sort of router or modem they have, because I'll tell you this, I can get I can I can access their WiFi? From across town.

0:33:15
spk_3
 

Can I tell you this? I snuck into the library with a long ethernet cord, and I ran it out to the boat. I can get WiFi two hundred feet out into the water. Wow. And it's not WiFi. It's core.

0:33:30
spk_1
 

He has to say.

0:33:31
spk_3
 

You know, I can get internet.

0:33:32
spk_4
 

That's hard line.

0:33:33
spk_3
 

That's hard line. I'm downloading and uploading on the sea.

0:33:36
spk_2
 

Fantastic. Yeah.

0:33:37
spk_4
 

You're you're inheriting a shit ton of movies out there.

0:33:40
spk_3
 

While pirating a ship.

0:33:41
spk_4
 

Yeah. It's interesting.

0:33:42
spk_2
 

Well and the issue with that is a lot of people through town when you when you end up going out onto the water, a lot of people getting tripped. They're walking and the Ethernet wire is going getting

0:33:53
spk_1
 

it ends up getting sort of buried by a few by an inch of Sanders. And they're walking through, sinking in, they get caught, They fall.

0:33:59
spk_3
 

We've had a couple of lawsuits, but I'll tell you what, the Internet is nice.

0:34:02
spk_1
 

And I'll tell you this to these people who are suing us, there's no way you got hurt falling on sand. And I don't mean to be confrontational on on but I am just about sick of these frivolous lawsuits for people who are getting injured at this resort.

0:34:15
spk_2
 

What do kids play in?

0:34:17
spk_1
 

Sand.

0:34:17
spk_2
 

That's right.

0:34:18
spk_1
 

So how

0:34:18
spk_2
 

could you get hurt in sand and water?

0:34:20
spk_1
 

The only things on Beatrice sand and water, two things that you actually cannot get hurt on.

0:34:24
spk_2
 

So And of course, for those of you who have been to Settle Shores and are saying, well, your beach does not have sand. We're working on it. We're going through the line items right that right now. And right now, our Sonde is working well enough until we get the sand in.

0:34:38
spk_3
 

And Sonde is, of course, sonde for son. Yeah.

0:34:41
spk_2
 

It's a mix of sod and shells, which, by the way, if you've eaten our beef arm with breakfast and then you need to vomit, you can vomit right into the sod

0:34:49
spk_1
 

it's perfect.

0:34:50
spk_3
 

It's perfect.

0:34:50
spk_4
 

So we have WiFi. We're working with some Belkin. What's the Do we have Belkin?

0:34:55
spk_1
 

We do not have Balkin. We have Balkin. It's a Bulk. Okay. It's a it I'll admit it's a knockoff.

0:35:00
spk_3
 

It's WiFi from Europe.

0:35:02
spk_1
 

Yes. It is. It's from the Balkans. It's actually I don't know how they get it here. I just

0:35:11
spk_3
 

and then know how we get the Internet anyway. These are questions I do not need the answers to.

0:35:16
spk_2
 

Okay? And that's what we're men's men. You know? We don't look deep into these details. We, you know, we just Show

0:35:22
spk_1
 

me a solution. I won't ask you a single question.

0:35:24
spk_3
 

Utility, it's

0:35:24
spk_4
 

a very cheap, unsecured network that we loaded all of our financials on too, and it's working great.

0:35:30
spk_3
 

Right. And I'll tell you this, guys. Anybody who stays at our hotel gets the password.

0:35:35
spk_4
 

Anyone. Yeah. You

0:35:36
spk_2
 

can have it. You can have it. So congratulations, and we don't change it. Don't worry. It's you should come back another time, same password.

0:35:42
spk_3
 

Yeah. Yeah.

0:35:42
spk_1
 

It'll be the same time I understand.

0:35:44
spk_2
 

So we we put added the the bulk and Internet to the wine item budgets.

0:35:47
spk_4
 

Parson have said you gotta have your own Internet.

0:35:49
spk_6
 

He said he

0:35:50
spk_4
 

said. It's illegal. And did you have to take any hits did this pull anything out of your budget

0:35:56
spk_1
 

that you liked? It did. It did. Unfortunately, We cannot put any new chandeliers in and a lot of people say, originally, when I started installing all these chandeliers or say, this doesn't seem like the kind of place that needs chandeliers

0:36:11
spk_0
 

--

0:36:11
spk_5
 

right.

0:36:11
spk_0
 

--

0:36:11
spk_1
 

it seems out of vibe.

0:36:13
spk_2
 

Aesthetically confusing is

0:36:14
spk_1
 

what all confusing, the the reserve seems to be a little more rustic.

0:36:17
spk_3
 

Were you thinking you were gonna add more chandeliers? I thought we had a whole meeting about this.

0:36:21
spk_1
 

I was I thought look, I walk into the the the lobby, and I see that big chandelier up above me. And I think this place has class.

0:36:30
spk_6
 

Right.

0:36:30
spk_4
 

Okay? And I figured But then there's the one just to the left of that.

0:36:33
spk_1
 

And I wow, holy crap. These guys spent this much money on chandeliers. I bet everything here But

0:36:38
spk_3
 

then there's one just to the right of that.

0:36:41
spk_4
 

And I which is where the original one was. Yeah.

0:36:43
spk_5
 

And it's

0:36:44
spk_1
 

hanging off the bottom of the original Shandalee.

0:36:46
spk_3
 

It touches the ground.

0:36:47
spk_1
 

Yeah. So it's a centerpiece for the room. Listen, guys, I wanted Settle Shores to be something unlike anything anybody had ever seen. You can go to Sandalls if you want.

0:36:54
spk_3
 

Can I get honest with you for a second, my brother? You're my brother and brother.

0:36:58
spk_1
 

Yeah. Please.

0:37:00
spk_3
 

You're not fancy. I and neither am I. And this is not the fancy shore. It's subtle shores. We provide entertainment for families and regular folk.

0:37:12
spk_1
 

That's interesting.

0:37:12
spk_4
 

So if

0:37:12
spk_3
 

you're regular, come on down, guys.

0:37:15
spk_2
 

Don't walk into a, let's say, a cracker barrel and expect to see somebody, like, an attendant in the bathroom.

0:37:21
spk_3
 

Wow, Zach.

0:37:22
spk_1
 

Did you guys read the script that my wife read to me last night because this is exactly what she told me last night. Is everybody hanging out with my wife? And she just

0:37:30
spk_4
 

did she have the script at coffee?

0:37:31
spk_3
 

Well, we do lunch. Shipping?

0:37:33
spk_2
 

Well, we well, I gave her some notes at Coffee on the script because she's doing a script loosely based on, obviously, her life. And she's a fantastic writer, and she just needs

0:37:41
spk_4
 

is there anything about the villain? You gave her notes on the villain of her script that she's writing about her family? Who who was in it?

0:37:47
spk_2
 

Well, This room scoop.

0:37:49
spk_4
 

I think it's scoop. Yeah. An angry man named scoop in the basement. Right? Wow. Shooting propane tank.

0:37:56
spk_3
 

Yeah. The villain lives in the basement in the story. How can they get him?

0:38:02
spk_1
 

This is interesting.

0:38:03
spk_2
 

No. That's that's that's why you all read it. I said, no notes. I said, this guy feels really, feels scary. He feels tough to deal with.

0:38:12
spk_4
 

That's tough. That's tough.

0:38:13
spk_1
 

Just ignore all this crap. I I'm just gonna say Please don't. Yeah. No. No. Seems pretty punch it at you. I'm taking the notes This is the same

0:38:22
spk_2
 

as your don't Google me theory. Is telling people to ignore it will make them ignore it. But I think it's actually making people

0:38:28
spk_1
 

more work theory. Only become an issue when you really think about them. Okay?

0:38:31
spk_3
 

I just got a text. Someone asking me to forward quip.

0:38:34
spk_4
 

Oh, yeah. Hit me with that. Stop. I'd love to give notes. Yes.

0:38:37
spk_3
 

You got it.

0:38:37
spk_1
 

I listen. I parsed up said similar things about about how we need to decide on the vibe. He said -- Mhmm.

0:38:43
spk_0
 

--

0:38:43
spk_1
 

this place looks like a sort of rustic sort of coastal off coast sort of getaway. Lean into that, make it feel a little more like a sportsman's lodge, like a place, something like that, where people come in and they're not confused about what you're trying to give them.

0:38:58
spk_3
 

Well, this is a great first step. You've added WiFi instead of buying more chandeliers.

0:39:03
spk_4
 

Right.

0:39:03
spk_3
 

Now maybe if we can sell a few of the existing chandeliers or maybe take them apart put them on the beach of stones, something to make them not disgusting looking for the room they're in.

0:39:13
spk_2
 

And I heard that sound you made at the idea of reselling them. Don't hort chandeliers. You're not gonna there's not gonna be another occasion where you're gonna go, I wish I had my trailer.

0:39:20
spk_3
 

You know what I'll even say? I'll even say in our current time period, chandeliers are done. I don't think people need chandeliers anymore. I think we get it.

0:39:30
spk_1
 

I'll say this though. How many times have you thrown out an old USB cord or some some some little thing And then six months later, you're sitting there, and you've got a peripheral that you need to collect -- Right.

0:39:42
spk_0
 

--

0:39:42
spk_1
 

connect to your laptop. And you're like, where's the USB cable that I threw away six months ago? I threw it away six months ago. Right.

0:39:49
spk_3
 

And

0:39:49
spk_1
 

that's what's gonna happen with these chandeliers. I'm telling you now, in six months to a year, we're gonna wanna build a ballroom we're gonna wanna have some sort

0:39:57
spk_6
 

of I

0:39:57
spk_3
 

wanna build a ballroom now. I wanna have a ballroom. Yeah.

0:40:01
spk_4
 

Well, it would've been I actually needed a small lighting accoutrement for my house that I was living in before I moved into the worksite trailer. And It was around the same time that hurricane Andrew was about to hit and you went and balled up all the chandeliers. Why would it's not toilet paper.

0:40:21
spk_2
 

Yeah. Your -- Okay. -- your doomsday hoarding is expensive and unnecessary. It's good for the rest us looking at the other stuff. Yeah.

0:40:29
spk_3
 

What else did you buy? Faberge eggs?

0:40:32
spk_1
 

Yeah. I did. I see Allman's. Yeah. I I bought almond. I bought bitcoin. I bought I bought some different types of cars. Listen, guys, I am I am prepared for the future that I want. Okay? Mhmm. I want a future where I need these things. Okay? And so I'm sort of trying to will into the existence, a subtle shores that makes us money.

0:40:53
spk_3
 

Let me ask you, what's the next step after the WiFi for you because you're front of house, you're the first thing people see, you're the greeting. Uh-huh. What's the next thing you're gonna do to improve the guest experience? Because guys, We want you here if you're listening.

0:41:06
spk_2
 

I I mean, yeah, the number one crooner in the world is telling you come to settle shores we want. You're here, baby.

0:41:12
spk_3
 

I think I'd already posed the question. I don't think you need to insert that you were the number one kid.

0:41:16
spk_2
 

I just gotta let people know that that, you know, it's not these shitheads who are poor here, I come also and I enjoy things.

0:41:22
spk_3
 

That is right. I will I will say I have to big up you here. You are a wonderful crooner. And some people have even said it was worth the true drink minimum.

0:41:30
spk_4
 

Yes. You are

0:41:31
spk_6
 

a great

0:41:31
spk_4
 

singer, and you're one of the town's biggest classes.

0:41:35
spk_2
 

Absolutely. There's where's that?

0:41:37
spk_3
 

Which is big in a resort town.

0:41:39
spk_4
 

Huge, huge. Yeah.

0:41:40
spk_2
 

I say it's I'm not a class, because I'm a libertarian. And that's what I believe. But what is, again, to the customer experience, what are you doing at front of house? I'm looking at this line item budget and I'm just not seeing a lot for Well,

0:41:52
spk_6
 

because a

0:41:52
spk_1
 

lot of the things that we're working on right now are sort of infrastructure things that maybe don't cost money, but they do take time. So for one, we are going to create a database of rooms so that we know which ones are occupied and which ones are not.

0:42:05
spk_3
 

That's gonna be awesome for the

0:42:06
spk_2
 

that'll be great spreadsheet, I think it is gonna be really helpful once one

0:42:10
spk_4
 

no more someone's in here.

0:42:12
spk_1
 

Yeah.

0:42:12
spk_2
 

Yes.

0:42:13
spk_1
 

We would well, a lot well, we kind of just had like a sort of like, a key is in a bowl situation where -- Mhmm.

0:42:18
spk_0
 

--

0:42:18
spk_1
 

because keeping track of all that stuff was sort of outside of my wheelhouse, we didn't have a tech guy. And and and that was part part of Parsons's thing. He's like, this isn't stuff that tech guys need to do. This is stuff that everyday human beings can do to make the experience better. So we're gonna have a database so we will know which rooms are occupied.

0:42:36
spk_2
 

There was obviously That debacle where we were all kind of taking on a little bit of work when we didn't have enough staff. And so we were each switching off the front desk, and we each rented out the same room and ended up having about eighty families in one room by the end of the night. Right?

0:42:49
spk_4
 

Yeah.

0:42:50
spk_5
 

And it

0:42:50
spk_3
 

was the old keys in a bowl situation, so it got pretty fucking wickiest.

0:42:53
spk_2
 

It was awesome that we were able to pay

0:42:55
spk_4
 

for that mistake, because CBS bought it. Eighty families in a room -- Yes.

0:43:00
spk_0
 

--

0:43:00
spk_4
 

and and it aired for a season.

0:43:01
spk_2
 

Eighty families in a room is going strong. Will Arnette, running up the cast their

0:43:06
spk_3
 

unfortunately, your agent did our deal, and we did not get many residual payments on them.

0:43:11
spk_2
 

That's right. My my agent does not believe in back end.

0:43:15
spk_1
 

Well, it's

0:43:16
spk_4
 

always because you have no ask. Is that why? Is it because you that's why it's perfect

0:43:22
spk_2
 

for you. We fit together was the self for being. I didn't I didn't know he meant that also.

0:43:26
spk_3
 

Because your agent has a big bulbous rotund button. You guys stand back to back and fit together perfectly?

0:43:32
spk_2
 

Yes. We are. Yeah. Ying like

0:43:33
spk_4

spk_1
 

Like, ball boy, but it's boat, Ben. Yeah.

0:44:32
spk_4
 

He runs there any time any time I drop a boat. He runs as fast as he gets,

0:44:38
spk_3
 

picks up the boat and he gets to

0:44:39
spk_4
 

the other side and falls and hits this wall. We've all seen the video.

0:45:15
spk_6
 

But

0:45:15
spk_2
 

that's right. The associates screeched to a halt when they saw how many days ago.

0:45:19
spk_4
 

The associates came in and gave me a biggest mouth in my class. No. Yeah.

0:45:23
spk_3
 

In your high school class.

0:45:24
spk_4
 

In my class, we went back and we shot a superlative photo. I spread wide.

0:45:35
spk_3
 

That's a wonderful superlative.

0:45:37
spk_4
 

Yeah. We recalled everybody's yearbook. Yeah. Went around, found them all.

0:45:41
spk_3
 

I got big yes.

0:45:42
spk_2
 

We

0:45:43
spk_4
 

recalled it. Well, people were having accidents with them. The brakes were going out on some people's

0:45:48
spk_3
 

right. Right.

0:45:49
spk_1
 

And now that all so that photo has ended up being a a sort of photoshop meme that's gone around where people have been, like, sort of photoshopping whole things into your mouth as well. Right?

0:45:59
spk_2
 

Yes. Like when I find the shrimp at the party or something like that. Yes.

0:46:03
spk_4
 

Yes. When I come home and my wife cheating on me, with best friend, that was a good one. Which was actually your face.

0:46:11
spk_3
 

Also, when I come home and my wife ready,

0:46:18
spk_4
 

and I'm not sure it was I'm not sure what she was ready for, but this man was surprised me. I was and but biggest mouth biggest mouth yeah. That was really cool of the associates. They actually winded and dined me, which was awesome.

0:46:33
spk_3
 

No. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Like, did they take you where'd they take you?

0:46:37
spk_4
 

The best hamburger in its class restaurant that they

0:46:43
spk_3
 

it was they took you to a JD power spot?

0:46:46
spk_4
 

Well, they we went in disguises as all of JD powers' mothers.

0:46:55
spk_3
 

Genius.

0:46:58
spk_2
 

Thank you.

0:46:59
spk_3
 

How could we tell how could they tell that their own mothers are chewing up?

0:47:03
spk_4
 

We went under we went under eight hours of of superhero makeup.

0:47:10
spk_1
 

Their mothers are all superheroes.

0:47:11
spk_3
 

Do super wear? Do super heroes wear expensive makeup? Someone just looks like a guy.

0:47:16
spk_1
 

I guess some of them do. I'm sure Superman's hair takes some time.

0:47:19
spk_4
 

Yes. We all were we all looked like Superman.

0:47:24
spk_3
 

And, mom,

0:47:25
spk_2
 

superman. So the associates are so mad at JD Power. When they're wining and dining people, they're gonna put in their new their new spread, they take

0:47:33
spk_4
 

it

0:47:33
spk_2
 

to JD Power restaurants dressed as their mothers

0:47:37
spk_0
 

--

0:47:37
spk_4
 

yes. And we we say things from their childhood that'll trigger them, you know, like why did you

0:47:47
spk_2
 

really dig a deep.

0:47:48
spk_4
 

Yeah. We we got we do research.

0:47:51
spk_5
 

These

0:47:52
spk_3
 

associates have been burnt by JD Powers. Oh, my god.

0:47:56
spk_2
 

They are pissed off. Yeah.

0:47:58
spk_4
 

What the associates drove most of the Chevrolet's. And the JD Power would always rank them best midsize sedan.

0:48:06
spk_3
 

They're like, oh, I'm the name.

0:48:08
spk_4
 

Yeah. And so I've been hanging out with them a lot yeah, boatman is gone. Mhmm. And that's tough for me. And that's, you know, that's almost forty thousand a year.

0:48:17
spk_1
 

Yeah. Right.

0:48:18
spk_4
 

Which I took a hit And he's apparently He's watching me, Parsonip's taking a look at my tools, seeing what I need. Do I need this lathe? Well, do any delays.

0:48:31
spk_3
 

Because because you spend I would say you do spend a little too much time on the lathe trying to make the perfect bed post.

0:48:37
spk_4
 

Well, you it me to make something to to that the doctor could base your feet off of. Right? Yeah.

0:48:43

0:48:48
spk_4
 

to make the flip. I made some well, no. He's got fucking bold ass ass table leg feet.

0:48:54
spk_2
 

Work with my hooves. I had to bring in something to the doctor. Because I'm try I'm I'm now in my fifth surgery to reshape my hooves into something a little more full. Each one more botched than the last.

0:49:05
spk_3
 

And so You they're doing a season on you.

0:49:07
spk_2
 

Yes. They're doing twenty four episodes of drop of drum cloth of botched on me. And so, you know, keep checking out. And it is it is crossing over with my season of What's the one where you're on drugs? Intervention.

0:49:23
spk_4
 

Oh, right. Yes. There are

0:49:24
spk_2
 

people who are I

0:49:24
spk_4
 

don't think that's the show where you're on drugs, the show where you're on drugs.

0:49:27
spk_5
 

Well,

0:49:28
spk_2
 

for me, it is.

0:49:31
spk_4
 

It's just an hour of you tripping. Right?

0:49:34
spk_2
 

Yeah.

0:49:35
spk_3
 

You're like, these people are acting weird around me. You go on drugs. Letters.

0:49:40
spk_4
 

Yeah. You go on drugs to other people's interventions?

0:49:43
spk_2
 

That's right. I show up and I say are you sure? You don't wanna do this anymore? And it's kinda the other end of it. And they they eventually people see me in my table foot hubs.

0:49:51
spk_3
 

You gotta show both sides.

0:49:53
spk_2
 

Well, yeah. I pulled back face, my little my I would say corpse teeth is what people are calling over. They say, maybe I don't want this. But as speaker of line item, Scott Scotty. Right? I know it's gonna be Scottty, Sydney, Scott. I'm sorry. You guys look similar. Does everybody else Totally.

0:50:07
spk_3

spk_1
 

a little like He keeps

0:50:13
spk_4
 

it high and tight military pair cut.

0:50:15
spk_2
 

That's so weird.

0:50:15
spk_4
 

Really looks that much like at all.

0:50:17
spk_2
 

Okay. Yeah.

0:50:18
spk_5
 

That's

0:50:18
spk_3
 

well, he just he's the kind of guy that when you see him in the front of the house, he makes you look comfortable. You check into a guy with a crew cut and a buff Well, yeah. There's a a buff look. And, you know, this guy's gonna make me feel sick.

0:50:29
spk_5
 

And so

0:50:29
spk_4
 

what there are a lot of people

0:50:30
spk_3
 

who are

0:50:30
spk_4
 

the the most common thing said to you is, excuse me, officer, where's the front desk? Right? Yeah.

0:50:35
spk_3
 

And this is at the front. Yes?

0:50:37
spk_1
 

Yeah. And also also a lot of people run into the lobby and report crimes to me.

0:50:41
spk_2
 

But, yeah, you guys are sorry about the Dave confusion, but I Tell looking at your line item budget, and you have given up your all your seam meals, which is was a big thing for you. You'd cook and catch and and eat on the seat.

0:50:54
spk_3
 

Yes. Yeah. I I was spending a lot on bait. Of course, I

0:51:00
spk_4
 

always Pogies.

0:51:01
spk_1
 

You you had you

0:51:01
spk_4
 

were spending about fifty dollars a day on Pogies.

0:51:03
spk_3
 

Yeah. Well, I don't really wanna just catch you know, little flounders and stuff. I'm trying to catch Marlon.

0:51:09
spk_4
 

Right.

0:51:09
spk_3
 

So Marlon, were you saying Hogies? Because what they

0:51:12
spk_5
 

eat is,

0:51:13
spk_3
 

what they eat is big hoes. Right. If you Yeah. That's what I said.

0:51:17
spk_4
 

Did I say pokeys are man hoes?

0:51:18
spk_3
 

No. Yeah. If you wanna catch a big fish, you gotta hook them with a big meal. Yeah. So I'll get, you know, a Philly cheese steak or, you

0:51:26
spk_1
 

know And now, how do you when you're when you're when you're fishing with a cheese steak. How do you keep that together on the hook?

0:51:33
spk_3
 

Saran.

0:51:33
spk_1
 

I was gonna say

0:51:34
spk_4
 

saran wrap. You wrap it up, but you leave one open. Shine too, pitch their eyes.

0:51:40
spk_3
 

Little little saran wrap. First of all, steaming hot hoagie, that you wrap it in saran wrap, put a little glitter on it to give it a little bit of that fish lure shine.

0:51:49
spk_4
 

Of course.

0:51:49
spk_3
 

And then you put it on a hook and you try to bait tomorrow.

0:51:51
spk_2
 

And you've got about thirty five, like, full of doctors.

0:51:56
spk_3
 

Thirty five loungers. Thirty five Philadelphia Philly fans and no Marlons yet.

0:52:01
spk_2
 

Now, but here's why I think you're having issues with the Marlons. Is you're a tough guy fisherman and you I can catch up Marlon on a I I don't need a big line.

0:52:08
spk_6
 

Right.

0:52:08
spk_2
 

So what pound how many pound line are you fishing with here?

0:52:11
spk_5
 

Well, I'm

0:52:11
spk_3
 

on a half pound line.

0:52:12
spk_5
 

Half of

0:52:12
spk_2
 

that test. And they are snapping when it Well, yeah.

0:52:15
spk_3
 

There are six hundred pound fish and ammo. Excuse me.

0:52:17
spk_4
 

Because half pound test is technically spider web. Actually,

0:52:22
spk_1
 

actually, I've heard Spiderwave was actually thicker than half.

0:52:24
spk_3
 

Spiderwave was actually one pound test.

0:52:25
spk_4
 

Okay. I'm on

0:52:26
spk_3
 

a half pound test.

0:52:27
spk_1
 

Just sort of baby hair. Dasty Spider, web web a weak spider.

0:52:30
spk_3
 

Tasty spider webber, baby hairs, what is depending on what brand you go with. So, yeah, I have gracious cut down my budget on that. I'm not buying the line. I'm not buying the hokies. Oh. I'm not buying the ranch dressing. I'm not buying the French fries. I'm not buying the brownies, and I'm not buying a large fountain Coke every time I go out.

0:52:50
spk_2
 

You are still getting the taste of cakes.

0:52:52
spk_3
 

I still get the taste of cakes. And I have ordered fountain cokes to be delivered to my house. Right.

0:52:57
spk_4
 

And of course, you got to keep your vayenas. The vayenas still go with you out there. It's sauce just Yeah.

0:53:02
spk_3
 

The the vikings, which many people call Vienna's. No.

0:53:07
spk_4
 

No. No. No. There's nothing

0:53:08
spk_2
 

better than popping a vayena on the sea, popping a can of vay man. I'm just stuck in a bit.

0:53:12
spk_4
 

Well, I'll

0:53:13
spk_3
 

tell you what I've been doing. I don't need to catch all these fish out there. I got my little Hibachi grill,

0:53:18
spk_2
 

some

0:53:18
spk_3
 

vaina Sastres, I'll tell you what, and that's all you need. Yeah. Obviously,

0:53:25
spk_4
 

if I'm sorry, honest.

0:53:26
spk_3
 

There are some sergeants on there. Also, you catch a couple of Grooper. Nah. Okay. Now you got half a meal. So I'm cutting back on that stuff, and I appreciate you seeing it. I am trying to live off the land a little bit more or the sea as it were. Mhmm. I've been eating lobster.

0:53:44
spk_6
 

Yeah.

0:53:44
spk_3
 

I've been eating.

0:53:46
spk_4
 

I feel like that could be a problem. No.

0:53:48
spk_3
 

No. I've been catching it. I've been catching Okay. Okay. Okay. I will say this. What I need to really lock down next is my boat budget. Mhmm. Because I am going through these things, like hot cake.

0:54:01
spk_1
 

Which is in it's quite honestly insane. The because boats are notoriously not even notorious famously, a a -- Right. -- item that you invest in that you have for a long time.

0:54:10
spk_3
 

Well, I'll say this. I got sixty boats because I'm buying used, and I think as a boater, you know you can refurbish anything. Another fiberglass on there, and it's good to know.

0:54:20
spk_4
 

Nothing lasts better than something that's out in Saltwood. That's insane. Use jet skis, use boats use outboard engines. They're gonna be good.

0:54:30
spk_3
 

I've always said the only thing with better resale than a car is a boat. Because people think, oh, it's got a hole in it. I can't use this anymore.

0:54:40
spk_2
 

Right.

0:54:40
spk_3
 

I'll take it off your hands. It's People say, hey, the prop fell off the motor, but the motor's broken too. That's sitting in I'll take it off, Chris.

0:54:47
spk_4
 

That's been sitting in my backyard for so long. It's practically part of the yard now.

0:54:53
spk_2
 

There will always be a man who does not wanna deal with this problem, so he buys a bunch of different stuff. Alright. There will

0:54:58
spk_5
 

always Hey,

0:54:59
spk_3
 

you're looking at it.

0:55:00
spk_2
 

I absolutely I mean, I'm looking at four of them. Yeah. Because there's a mirror so one's me.

0:55:04
spk_3
 

I'm trying to get better. And you do always carry that and peer around with you.

0:55:07
spk_2
 

Well, yeah. When you when you look this good, you gotta see it all the time. I've also gotta know if any of my hair is out of place or anything like that.

0:55:14
spk_4
 

Well, I know. Dwayne, you kinda your schedule took one of the biggest hits by Parsonibs. Is that correct?

0:55:22
spk_2
 

Yes. Parsonibs said that we can't do a show an hour if people aren't attending them because I I'm

0:55:28
spk_3
 

really sorry. Is it parsnip? Or is it parsnip? Snips.

0:55:32
spk_4
 

I I I thought it was plural. I thought this man's name was either plural or possessive.

0:55:38
spk_2
 

Yeah. And I wanna go back and just say, I have saved it my phone. I looked it up. I do have a regular yes saved it my phone. Yeah. So I I don't

0:55:46
spk_5
 

wanna rule that out as soon as possible there. You guys could be a regular yeah. Me neither. I checked I I just checked my email to see the email that

0:55:46
spk_2
 

he sent. And his his email

0:55:57
spk_1
 

is is actually parsley at

0:56:00
spk_3
 

g mail dot com. Now that honestly makes a lot of sense.

0:56:04
spk_2
 

Parsley. Parsley.

0:56:06
spk_1
 

Parsley. I'm thinking maybe his name is Pars, and his

0:56:09
spk_2
 

last name

0:56:09
spk_5
 

is Lee. Parsley. Parsley. Parsley. Parsley. Parsley. Parsley. Parsley.

0:56:09
spk_6
 

Parsley. Parsley.

0:56:10
spk_4
 

Parsley. I think

0:56:11
spk_1
 

my I think his name might be Parsley, or it might be parsnip.

0:56:14
spk_2
 

Well, what does he think when I keep calling him a reggae? That must be Yeah. Where did we get a reggae? It's the one got crossed somewhere, and I hope he does not mad

0:56:24
spk_3
 

at me.

0:56:25
spk_4
 

Let's don't ask him. Let's just let's just

0:56:26
spk_6
 

i'm trying to make sense of this because I do know we did first meet

0:56:26
spk_4
 

him

0:56:30
spk_1
 

at corroborators, and we all were eating a nice pasta meal.

0:56:35
spk_5
 

Yes.

0:56:35
spk_1
 

And I do believe one of us made a joke when they asked if we'd like oregano. I believe someone said, Orega, yes.

0:56:42
spk_3
 

That's a

0:56:43
spk_4
 

joke. We just liked the joke so much for for

0:56:45
spk_1
 

so much. Right? He made the joke and we like,

0:56:48
spk_2
 

so do you think our waiter also wasn't in bolognese? Well, no. I I well, I know him. I thought it was bolognese. Wow. I

0:56:57
spk_1
 

i actually do know for a fact that that waiter's name is bully bully bully yes. Really?

0:57:03
spk_4
 

Bully, yes. So Bullier's was like Bolier's?

0:57:06
spk_1
 

It might have been bully's. I just don't know how to pronounce it because I actually am the person who,

0:57:10
spk_5
 

you know

0:57:10
spk_2
 

well, a bulk gaze is what you're gonna be hearing cheered. When you come to my now, medley hour. We've taken all of my hours of the day and it is all one hour now. Right. And so I'm putting everything into one hour. So that's the croon and answer, that's the crudent at noon. That's the Mary Crounsmas. It's all one hour. The litigious hour? The litigious hour. The crudent

0:57:31
spk_1
 

a, I believe.

0:57:31
spk_2
 

The crew yeah. The crudent answer. Yeah. The crudite we're still doing.

0:57:37
spk_1
 

And this is all because, of course, parsnip or parsley, whatever.

0:57:40
spk_3
 

Parson

for events and other because it's you know, a lot of hotels and resorts, they'll rent out a room for a convention

0:57:53
spk_5
 

or a

0:57:53
spk_1
 

or a, you know, a a flat earth. Meeting or something like that.

0:57:57
spk_2
 

Yes. Yeah.

0:57:58
spk_3
 

We found a lot of those here.

0:57:59
spk_1
 

Yeah. So we rent that space now. So anybody out there, if you're listening, Eleven out of the eleven hours of the day that that it's open, that that space is actually for rent.

0:58:08
spk_4
 

You can rent

0:58:09
spk_1
 

it for your event party.

0:58:10
spk_2
 

I thought we came to a very nice compromise where we just really pushed me on the event. So that if you're having a I can turn my all my songs a flat earther songs or whatever your event is, I can Weird

0:58:22
spk_1
 

out in the missing. In ten

0:58:23
spk_2
 

minutes, I can weird out them, or normal Dwayne Neumann them is my, of course, care Durall. My songs are normal.

0:58:30
spk_3
 

You did a great show for all those Chinese tourists that were in town.

0:58:33
spk_2
 

I did a fantastic show for them.

0:58:35
spk_4
 

And you take parody songs and renormalize them.

0:58:38
spk_2
 

I renormalize parody songs. So, of course, I took I took the White stuff. Uh-huh. And I turned that into the right stuff.

0:58:46
spk_1
 

Which is then, of course, just to cover.

0:58:50
spk_2
 

Well, it's a good news. The way I

0:58:52
spk_3
 

prove her,

0:58:52
spk_2
 

weird weird al charges less money for the rights of his songs. So if I'm doing a cruver, I don't have to pay as much as I would pay originally to the new kids

0:59:02
spk_1
 

on the spare use parity law, to go back to the original on a weird outcome. Wow.

0:59:07
spk_2
 

Yes. So, of course, that's

0:59:08
spk_4
 

why is weird al's instrumental, but it's renormalized.

0:59:12
spk_2
 

That's right. It's got a cordial vibe. Of Amish paradise -- Yeah. -- gangster's paradise.

0:59:17
spk_4
 

Yes. Of course.

0:59:18
spk_2
 

You know, my cruver, sorry.

0:59:21
spk_1
 

You gotta call them cruisers as well or otherwise If

0:59:23
spk_2
 

i say even just saying cover right now, now I have to pay Coolio three million dollars. Which is very uncoolio and I said it in court and I'll say it here.

0:59:31
spk_3
 

And I will I will just say you merged your bank account with us earlier that is only one way. Correct? We do not now, oh, Julio, you're in on this, but we're not in on your life.

0:59:41
spk_2
 

And of course, I did get it on the record that I got butt fucked on the merge. But it's and that is on the record. That's on

0:59:47
spk_3
 

the record. Now what does that mean when someone puts that on the record? Do they just write it down?

0:59:52
spk_2
 

Do they write it down? So yeah. And then I have it somewhere. I was away on the record.

0:59:58
spk_3
 

Just for your sort of people And

1:00:00
spk_4
 

you walked the the jury. Right?

1:00:02
spk_2
 

I walked the jury. Yeah. So I've I've watched thirteen juries which I this is what you're saying is they left the case.

1:00:09
spk_4
 

Right. And, yes, they didn't like the term.

1:00:11
spk_1
 

And the

1:00:12
spk_5
 

the

1:00:12
spk_1
 

last the thirteenth jury was actually a jury made up of all the alternate from the twelve other jury.

1:00:17
spk_5
 

It is.

1:00:18
spk_2
 

And that was the that we finally got a jury of my peers. Yeah.

1:00:21
spk_4
 

Wait. It was a jury of your fears. Right?

1:00:22
spk_5
 

It was a

1:00:23
spk_2
 

jury of my fears. I misspoke. And so it was It was obviously it was my my son was there having a greater career than me.

1:00:33
spk_6
 

But he was the foreman. Yeah. He was

1:00:33
spk_2
 

he was Well, they got He was the four son. Yeah. Blaie. Buble was there, my victory, my fears, my wife, a car accident? Your teeth falling out? Was it yours? Teeth falling out showing up to school naked and and everybody pointing and saying we knew. Mustard? Mustard was there.

1:00:54
spk_1
 

Mustard was there.

1:00:56
spk_2
 

Mustard was the one that wrote the Tell all book, of course. I am by the way, do not get mustard around me. It's in my writer. I it's not that I don't like the taste of mustard. I am scared of the stuff. Right. But

1:01:08
spk_3
 

wouldn't it be safe to say? That through all these life experiences, you've become a better crooner and a better entertainer.

1:01:17
spk_2
 

Rooning is all about experience. Some people think it's just singing whatever. But it's

1:01:24
spk_3
 

some people think that.

1:01:24
spk_2
 

Some people think that but

1:01:25
spk_6
 

i've I've

1:01:26
spk_3
 

never thought that. I've thought it's a real Why don't you give us another clue?

1:01:29
spk_2
 

Class crooning is class. Talk to me. Cruning is experience. Speak with me. Yeah. Cruning is pain.

1:01:40
spk_4
 

Oh, I love that part. That's when you eat all of those little short pieces of celery and the Crunate. Right?

1:01:47
spk_2
 

The Crunatee, yes, take a little Crunate break. Right. Audiences hate this part as watching me eat in the middle of my songs.

1:01:55
spk_3
 

Well, because you don't stop singing.

1:01:57
spk_2
 

No. You ain't trouble dancing? I do a trumpet scene.

1:02:01
spk_1
 

It honestly sounds disgusting.

1:02:02
spk_2
 

And we'll know.

1:02:03
spk_3
 

But it looks wonderful. Yeah.

1:02:04
spk_2
 

It's the same thing as a ventriloquist artist doing the drinking while the dummy talks -- Right.

1:02:08
spk_0
 

--

1:02:08
spk_2
 

don't even know

1:02:09
spk_1
 

i'm eating longer. A bad. Like a like a bad

1:02:11
spk_2
 

don't even know I mean

1:02:12
spk_4
 

well, you do keep saying don't don't any of these dummies in here talk while I'm eating.

1:02:18
spk_2
 

Oh, yeah. I've been I've been talked over by a few dummies. I've had a few shows ruined by Ventura Christ dummies.

1:02:24
spk_3
 

I think we're getting off track.

1:02:25
spk_2
 

I just wanted to make sure.

1:02:26
spk_3
 

I wanna make sure that we all remember here that we're making this for the prospective guest who we're so excited to see. If you come on down the subtle shores, we have plenty of oil -- Yeah.

1:02:39
spk_0
 

--

1:02:39
spk_3
 

the boats work, and I'll tell you what, we only have four too many chandeliers.

1:02:43
spk_5
 

That's right.

1:02:43
spk_2
 

And we

1:02:44
spk_1
 

have WiFi. And and here's

1:02:46
spk_4
 

and we're happy about these changes. We really are. You know, it's leaning us out. You know, I did have to fire both, Ben, and that was tough. So I sent him a text. At about midnight, and I let him know his fifteen

1:02:57
spk_1
 

year career was over.

1:02:59
spk_3
 

And I'll be honest, when I first met Parsnip, I did not like getting notes. Parsly alright. Yes.

1:03:06
spk_2
 

You think his name is Lee Pars.

1:03:08
spk_4
 

I thought it was

1:03:08
spk_2
 

lee Parks. And his email is Pars Comalee as fun.

1:03:11
spk_1
 

That's what

1:03:11
spk_4
 

i thought.

1:03:12
spk_3
 

Well, when I met Parsonip, I did not think I was gonna like these notes. I I went straight to the boat and I fired off every flare gun I ad because I was so angry.

1:03:20
spk_1
 

Right.

1:03:20
spk_2
 

Which is why there's so many of those in the line item now.

1:03:22
spk_3
 

That's right. I do need to buy some more, and I also need some boat hole patch kits.

1:03:27

1:03:46
spk_1
 

And I'll tell you this. I think we all we all say to ourselves, you know, we're gonna turn things around, we're gonna get to another place. We're gonna get to a place where this this place making money. It's gonna we're getting a return on our investment, and to ensure that, and that we are continuously making steps forward.

spk_2
 

North Dakota to hold them is pretty exciting.

1:06:04
spk_1
 

And a lot a lot of people I know you're listening right now and you're thinking, these sound like games I've heard before, why what's the deal?

1:06:11
spk_2
 

Shut up.

1:06:12
spk_1
 

Yeah. Shut up. Don't

1:06:15
spk_3
 

Slut machine, Pullette. Oh, it's all there.

1:06:18
spk_2
 

And obviously the most exciting part part is, I know a lot of you out there wondering, will I ever get to see a bunch of hungry great whites? You've gotta go through a lot of them to get to the casino.

1:06:28
spk_3
 

That's right. And yes. And, yes, we chum the water

1:06:32
spk_0
 

--

1:06:32
spk_1
 

yes.

1:06:32
spk_0
 

--

1:06:32
spk_3
 

to make sure that you get your show.

1:06:34
spk_4
 

And you had a line you pitched. I won't be the only great white here.

1:06:38
spk_2
 

That's right. I will be the greatest white of them all.

1:06:42
spk_3
 

And I saw you had it by saying, I won't be the only great white here. I'll be the greatest white of the month. Okay. Do you think that's too

1:06:50
spk_2
 

much on top?

1:06:51
spk_3
 

I just think we had it with the first half.

1:06:53
spk_2
 

Yeah. Well, you know, we'll take the gall. I won't be the only great white. I'll be the greatest white of them all. Number one white. But

1:07:02
spk_4
 

come on again, this is about this

1:07:03
spk_2
 

and We are excited for

1:07:05
spk_1
 

the full year. And and I'm I'm gonna tell you, I'll be be brutally honest and vulnerable with you guys. There's a little part of me that is scared because in Shore Casino is is a a a financial investment that we are maybe not prepared for.

1:07:19
spk_3
 

It's a real legal risk.

1:07:21
spk_1
 

With a bank with a bank breathing down our neck. We were lucky to secure the funds -- Yeah.

1:07:24
spk_4
 

But Leaparte's Leaparte was in on it.

1:07:27
spk_3
 

You say

1:07:28
spk_2
 

he thinks we can make a lot of money off of it. And here was the thing that I was gonna suggest and we can cut we don't want to. But I was thinking that people can maybe email us some suggestions or something about the -- Yes.

1:07:38
spk_0
 

--

1:07:39
spk_2
 

i would put a little email at the end -- Yes.

1:07:40
spk_0
 

--

1:07:40
spk_2
 

at things to put into Settle Shores they'd like to see or we can open up the complaint line. That's true. Right. Or the the discussion line and people could say problems they've had. We can address them on Aaron future episodes.

1:07:50
spk_4
 

I think it's a great idea.

1:07:51
spk_3
 

We also do wanna talk about the complement box we've installed as well as the

1:07:57
spk_0
 

--

1:07:57
spk_3
 

discussion suggestion box. That we haven't quite opened yet.

1:08:00
spk_1
 

We're calling the the the discussion the discussion box because, you know, it it's your suggestions are a jumping off point. It's a conversation. It's back and forth. Okay? That's great. But a

1:08:12
spk_4
 

big week ahead -- Yeah.

1:08:13
spk_0
 

--

1:08:13
spk_4
 

a lot of changes, we've gotta keep leaning I

1:08:16
spk_3
 

think with this new attitude, we are really excited to make something new.

1:08:20
spk_1
 

And I you know, who doesn't love a deadline? Who doesn't love a goal? Yeah. If you live your life just spinning the wheels, hoping hoping to get to the end so you can go to sleep and wake up tomorrow. That's right. That's not that's not living, guys. The only way that you can actually be living is is with a goal in mind, and our goal right now is to to reverse the direction of the decline in our sort of number with the associates. Know, next week, we're not gonna be number one hundred and twenty seven. We're gonna be back up to one twenty four if I have my way or higher. And by the time, This resort is also a a offshore casino. I'm hoping that we are the number one resort buffet and offshore casino

1:09:00
spk_0

1:09:00
spk_3
 

that's right.

1:09:00

1:09:13
spk_2

1:09:17
spk_4
 

Yes. Plumbing is back. It's good.

1:09:21
spk_2
 

I think that is that is a perfect outro. Plumbing is and it's good. So folks, please, come on down to subtle sure.

1:09:30
