00:24You
01:03I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
01:06It's too much garlic
01:08What you're telling me is too much garlic?
01:10You tell me, Carl
01:18Yeah, it's too much
01:24What did I say?
01:40You know, that thing that, uh
01:43It didn't, you know, it didn't work out
01:47So
01:50Which thing?
01:52Ronald Carson
01:54Do you think?
01:56Yeah
01:57Sorry
02:02Can I ask you something?
02:03Not for fuck's sake, Carl
02:04What?
02:05What, dude?
02:05Like, what, what?
02:06All right, forget it then, Mike
02:07Forget it
02:07Everybody thought it was stupid
02:09You do this all the time
02:10No, no
02:11Mike, Mike, Mike
02:12I'm just gonna ask if you gave a shit about it
02:13You gave a shit about what, Carl?
02:15Fucking what people say?
02:16No, I don't give a shit about that
02:17No, if you just gave a shit about the rental car business
02:21I don't, I don't, no
02:23No, I don't give a shit about that
02:25You need to stir that
02:27And for Christ's sake, I hear it's sticking
02:29All right
02:35How'd you raise the money?
02:37Second time you asked me that
02:38It's the second time you didn't answer
02:43You need money, Carl?
02:47What if I wanted to open a restaurant?
02:49What the fuck is that?
02:51Why a restaurant?
02:52Why not a restaurant?
02:54Like, you already have a restaurant
02:55Yeah, but this would be a different restaurant
03:00Tell me more
03:06Look, every one of our good memories
03:09They happen in restaurants, right?
03:12Like, the Homer's ice cream
03:14After baseball
03:16Uh, you know, Omega
03:19After that weird birthday party
03:21With mom
03:22You know, we couldn't stop laughing
03:25Look, like, all this good shit
03:28It happened to us in restaurants
03:29Cause, uh, restaurants are special places, right?
03:35And people go to restaurants to be taken care of
03:41Right?
03:41They go to restaurants to celebrate
03:44To relax
03:45To not have to think about anything else for a minute
03:49No, people go to restaurants to feel less lonely
03:54You know, even dad
03:57What do you mean dad?
03:59I don't know
03:59The only time I can remember him being even remotely happy
04:02Was when he would talk about that, uh, Irish place
04:05He loved so much
04:07Jesus Christ
04:08What?
04:09You remember that place?
04:10You remember what it was called?
04:14No
04:15It was a shithole
04:16It smelled like a dumpster
04:18It was fucking hell
04:21Oh, he loved it
04:22Yeah
04:31You, like, do that?
04:34You think about Pop?
04:39What was he like?
04:43Um
04:45I don't know, like
04:48Like, when was the last time you talked to him?
04:53I don't know
04:54Yeah
04:56You feel that?
04:59That's pretty much it
05:01I mean, that's what he's like
05:05He was an asshole
05:09Well, everybody loves restaurants
05:10Hmm
05:11Even assholes
05:12I don't know, man
05:13I'm in a restaurant every single fucking day of my life
05:15And I've definitely met thousands of people
05:16Who definitely do not love restaurants
05:18Yeah, well, they would love ours
05:19Yeah, why is that?
05:20Because it would be ours
05:21I mean, listen
05:22Just because you've, like, been to fucking Napa
05:24You know?
05:24It doesn't make this a not-fuck business, you know?
05:27Well, I know that
05:27Grass-owned plates
05:28No, I know that
05:29It's fucking, it's fucking hard
05:30Right?
05:31It's fucking hard
05:32And that's what makes it special, right?
05:34It's fucking hard
05:36And it's gnarly
05:37And it's brutal
05:38And it's specific
05:39And not everybody can do it
05:41But I can do it
05:42Mike
05:45Look, we could do this
05:47Right?
05:48We could take care of people
05:50We could make it calm
05:52We could make it delicious
05:53We could play good music
05:58People would want to come in there
05:59To celebrate
06:00Right?
06:01They'd want to come in there
06:02After they had great days
06:03And they'd want to come in there
06:04Even more after they had shitty ones
06:09We could make people happy
06:11Mike
06:16You're me
06:20Yeah, you and me
06:25You like
06:27You had a really thought about this, huh?
06:32I know what it smells like
06:36What do you call it?
06:40What do you call it?
06:41Mikey's
06:54I think
06:56I think I got a better one
07:04Well, what if there is no tomorrow?
07:07There wasn't one today
07:10Hello?
07:12Hello?
07:12Hello?
07:13Oh?
07:47You know, some guys would look at this glass and they would say,
07:51you know, that glass is half empty.
07:53Other guys would say, that glass is half full.
07:57I think you was a glass is half empty kind of guy, am I right?
08:03What would you do if you were stuck in one place
08:06and every day was exactly the same and nothing that you did mattered?
08:40So, you know, you're not going to be stuck in one place.
08:43I don't know.
09:19I don't know.
09:43I don't know.
10:27You're going to have to be a little more specific.
10:35I, um, I wasn't good enough, and I need to be better.
10:42Okay.
10:42I don't know if that's a takeaway.
10:45What's the takeaway?
10:47Uh, the Trib ate here three times at three different restaurants.
10:54The food sounded good.
10:57Sometimes.
11:01They didn't like the vibe.
11:06They didn't like the chaos, and, yeah, frankly, I don't know if I do either.
11:13You think I like chaos?
11:16I mean, I think you think you needed to be talented.
11:24You would be just as good.
11:26You would be great.
11:27Maybe even better of, you know, a cook without this need for, like, mess.
11:37Oh, congrats.
11:38That knocked the wind right out of me.
11:39Well, you don't need it.
11:40Air?
11:42Dysfunction.
11:46You're shutting down.
11:47I can feel you shutting down.
11:50You can feel it in this place.
11:52I have no idea, like, where you are.
12:01I don't like dysfunction.
12:04Okay, well, what do you like?
12:09I like this.
12:12Okay.
12:13That was, like, maybe the most miserable delivery of someone liking something, I think, ever.
12:21Yeah, I told you I'm trying to be better.
12:23Okay, maybe just try to be less miserable first.
12:30That hurt.
12:32Good.
12:34Good.
12:37I'm in tune, and I'm gonna tune, riding on to you, riding on to you, riding on to you.
12:54Hey, so, uh, what happened with the bear?
12:57You kicked me in the nards.
13:00No, no, no, I mean the bear at the store.
13:02Wait, what'd she tell you happened?
13:04Well, she came home from your house, and now she thinks that you're mad at her.
13:07No, no, no, no.
13:08Let me tell you.
13:09She wanted a bear that cost a hundred bucks, and I said no, and then she got pissed, and
13:13I didn't back down.
13:15Okay, cool.
13:16That's all you gotta say.
13:17She said she deserved it, and I wasn't taking no for an answer, and I don't know, does Frank
13:21buy her a lot of shit?
13:22Maybe you guys just parent differently now, and, uh, I'm out of the loop, maybe?
13:26What are you talking about?
13:27Look, I tried to establish and set rules by fostering an independence to help her develop
13:32a set of self-control.
13:33Cool.
13:33Okay?
13:33Not unlike the way I run my business.
13:35Mm-hmm.
13:35She's seven, Richard.
13:37You know what, Tiff?
13:37I gotta, I'm sorry.
13:38I gotta take this.
13:39I'll call you back.
13:42Fuck.
13:42There's nothing more that is to be said.
13:44Anybody know where the...
14:10How about you stare at it for one more minute,
14:15and then we throw it away.
14:18Throw it away now.
14:20I'm good.
14:21Gladly.
14:26Yo.
14:28Yo.
14:31You good?
14:35You ever feel like you're...
14:38stuck in the same day, like, over and over again?
14:40Like Greenhawk Day?
14:42Yeah, like you can't get to tomorrow.
14:45I had before.
14:47Yeah, what'd you do?
14:48Like, how'd you, how'd you fix it?
14:50Started working here.
14:54I tried that.
14:59Excellent.
15:04Ma'am?
15:06Sir?
15:07What's going on out here?
15:09Creating opportunity.
15:10Yeah, new system.
15:12For me, yes.
15:13And setting up new delivery app.
15:15They're trying to keep the window as busy as possible.
15:18No problem there.
15:19The review loved your sandwiches.
15:21Nice work.
15:22They like it other things, too.
15:23Yeah, maybe.
15:24There's nothing more needs to be said
15:27I'm just banging on my own feet
15:30And I'm getting into the street now
15:37I'm getting into the street now
15:50I'm getting into the street now
15:53I'm getting into the street now
15:58Yeah, I'm getting into the street tomorrow
16:02Yeah, I'm getting into the street tomorrow
16:05Yeah, I'm getting into the street now
16:08I gotta get faster.
16:11The review said the pasta was late
16:13All three visits
16:14I've been fucking up
16:16We're in a new system
16:19You should have reviewed it in a few weeks
16:21I feel like the only way I can look at it is like
16:24I gotta get my head in the game
16:25I gotta focus
16:27I gotta get faster
16:28Take some of the positive
16:29Take some of the negative
16:32Head down
16:33Good work
16:35That's my system
16:38Good system, sir
16:41System, baby
16:47Morning, sports fans
16:48Hi
16:49Hi, Mr. Galinowski
16:50Hi, honey
16:51Computer
16:51Hey, Sid
16:52There's something we want to show you
16:53Tremendous
16:54Computer display
16:56Outlet?
16:56Uh, yeah, right there
16:57Sorry, Nat keeps calling
17:00Yo, yeah, I think I know what this is about
17:02I've got unk and computer here
17:04So I'm gonna put you on speaker
17:05Is that all right?
17:06Okay, one second
17:07Hi, Suge
17:08Hi
17:08Hello, my sweet darling
17:10You can probably guess what's going on over there
17:12I don't know if you could
17:14We've got computer plugging a clock into the wall
17:17Uh, why?
17:17Why are you plugging a clock into the wall?
17:19Props are proving to be effective
17:20Uh, anybody
17:22Read anything good lately?
17:25Just curious
17:27Okay, moving on, moving on
17:29This clock
17:30Is just playing 1,440 hours
17:33Anybody know how long that is?
17:34Three months
17:35Two months
17:36Fuck me
17:36Neff, I don't know what you're worse at in math or calling people back
17:39Anyway
17:40The clock is telling you officially how much money we have left
17:43Okay, but we've got ten months to pay you back, right?
17:46Nine months
17:47Jesus Christ
17:48Which leaves a gap of
17:51Seven
17:51Seven
17:53Months
17:53Okay
17:54So?
17:55Computer, um, say it a different way
17:57We have an option in the deal
17:58If the business starts to bleed profusely
18:02We're allowed to act
18:03Act
18:05So what does that mean?
18:06It's just a tourniquet, buddy
18:07When that clock shows zero
18:09This restaurant needs to, uh, cease operations
18:24I'm really sorry
18:38I'm really sorry
18:41Sydney
18:41I agree
18:42No, no, you're both right
18:43Then what's the problem?
18:45First off, it's fine to
18:46Okay, parachute
18:47For which we owe a great deal of praise
18:49To the gentleman running the beef window
18:50Because that business is shockingly rocking
18:52Secondly, this parachute doesn't take into consideration
18:55Any repayment of loans
18:56Produce terms
18:57Delivery terms
18:59Reservation
18:59No-shows
19:00My sampling
19:01Shows no growth
19:02Or escalation
19:03Which is the sign of a dead business
19:05Third, you're talking about a healthy parachute
19:07This is not that
19:08What's making our parachute unhealthy?
19:10Yeah, full of holes
19:11What kind of holes are we talking about?
19:12Fucking bazooka-sized holes
19:14Courtesy of Chicago fucking trip
19:15Well, there were nice words
19:16Absolutely
19:17But there were also words like
19:18Confusing and show-offy
19:20And dissonance
19:20And dissonance
19:21Tell me, Nicholas
19:22What does that word mean to you personally?
19:24Harmonically fucked, James
19:25Okay, computer
19:27What are you telling us?
19:28Did you read my charts?
19:29Absolutely not
19:29I color-coded them for you
19:31Well, I tried
19:32And no offense
19:32The colors were weird
19:34And it was depressing
19:36Yeah, I read the charts
19:37And?
19:38They got depressing
19:39Right, so
19:39You know
19:40Unless there's
19:40A marked difference
19:42Like a giant fucking difference
19:44Like, holy shit
19:45That changes everything
19:46That's a gigantic fucking change
19:48If that doesn't happen
19:50This is this
19:52Clock runs out
19:53You close a month ago
19:55Unc
19:56Is this real?
19:58I'm so sorry, darling
19:59I gotta put the restaurant
20:00Back on the market
20:01Try and recoup something
20:01I like to bring about
20:02The inevitable
20:03Instantly
20:04Unlike my partner over here
20:05Shut the fuck up
20:06Who would drag the thing along
20:07Like a kid's wagon
20:08That doesn't have its wheels on
20:09Shut up
20:10Oh, shit
20:12What's this?
20:13Hey, what's going on?
20:14Hey, computer
20:14Hey, aunt
20:15Greetings, Neil
20:15Hi, my love
20:16Hey, Matt
20:17Hey, Sugar Bear
20:18Anybody, um, care to catch these two up?
20:20We have a two-month parachute
20:21Sick
20:21No, wrong
20:22Why wrong
20:23Holes
20:24What kind of holes?
20:25Big ones, honey
20:25Once the parachute runs out
20:28They're suggesting
20:29No, not suggesting
20:30Telling
20:32They're telling us that
20:33We're gonna have to close the restaurant
20:35Because after that point
20:37It'd be like beating a dead horse
20:38Yeah, like blasting a fucking wet crap
20:41All over it before you throw it off a cliff
20:43And then running it over with a panzer tank
20:44Yeah, before you set it on fire
20:46And run it through the fucking wood chipper
20:48And then scraping it up
20:49And, uh, drowning it
20:50After which
20:51I think we get it
20:51Just thank you, though
20:57May I speak for a moment?
20:59Please
21:01Um, all right
21:02Uncle Jay, Uncle Computer
21:04Uh, am I correct to assume
21:06That this presentation
21:08Has something to do with
21:09A little unsavory article
21:10In the paper of record?
21:11It would be safe to assume that, yeah
21:12All right
21:14This is what I want to say
21:17This, um
21:18Just like we practiced
21:19Very
21:19Um, I read that article very carefully
21:23Uh, I admit
21:25Initially I did bristle
21:26And dismissed it as the musings
21:27Of some skustemop millennial jagoff
21:30No offense
21:31But upon reflection
21:33And, uh, further re-reading
21:35And the cigarette
21:36I realized that
21:37There was a lot of truth
21:38In that article
21:40Some bullshit
21:40But also a lot of truth
21:41Uh, I've been
21:43Doing a lot of work on myself
21:45I don't think that's a secret
21:46And, um
21:47It made me realize
21:49That I
21:51I'm dropping the ball
21:52All right
21:53There is no excuse
21:54That man came in three times
21:56I should have known it
21:57Not because he's a critic
21:58Because he's a repeat guest
21:59There's no excuse for that
22:01And I am very
22:02Oh
22:03Very
22:03Sorry
22:04No, hold on
22:06I'm not finished
22:06But I really
22:07I do think that I should be the one
22:09That's taking the blame
22:09Enough of Martyr Carmen
22:10Let me just finish
22:11No, I'm trying to tell you
22:12It's my fault
22:12Yeah, but you're not listening to me
22:14No, no, no
22:14You're not listening to me
22:15Okay, bye
22:16I'm not changing the menu
22:17All the time
22:18Okay
22:19I'm telling you
22:20I'm doing
22:20I hire people to help
22:21Stop hiring people
22:23Fucking hiring people
22:24Everybody quit
22:25I needed to replace them
22:27That's science
22:28Who quit?
22:28Eric, Debbie, and Daveed
22:30Who the fuck are Eric, Debbie, and Daveed?
22:32Debbie's really nice to me
22:33And then Eric's kind of whatever
22:34But Daveed is the best
22:36Fucking dissonance, bro
22:39Okay
22:41What about when we get the star?
22:43If
22:44If we get the star
22:51Right?
22:57Yeah, as strange as it seems
22:59What?
23:01The sound of her laughter
23:02May sink in your dreams?
23:03I'm Rodgers and Hammerstein
23:041958
23:0558
23:07Yeah, 58
23:08I'm serious
23:10Carmen
23:12This has never been more serious
23:14Okay?
23:15Never
23:15Forever
23:19We're gonna get the star
23:22Well, you got
23:23That amount of time to get it
23:31Yo, Uncle Computer
23:32You're Chuck
23:33I wanna let you know
23:34That we got a robot
23:35So nobody freak out
23:36When you see it riding around outside
23:37We're listening
23:38His name's Chucky
23:38And what does Chucky do?
23:40Chucky delivers
23:41I got a free
23:42I got a free delivery
23:42Delivery app
23:43Excellent work
23:44Nice work
23:45Carry on
23:45Thank you, Chef
23:46So
23:47Just so we're clear
23:49Nobody's gonna spend any more money, right?
23:51I'm looking right at you, Richard
23:52Chuck's buying droids
23:53I thought he was free
23:54Fucking gratis
23:55Look
23:55I'm not hiring anybody else
23:57Okay?
24:00Anybody else?
24:02Who'd you hire?
24:09Non-negotiables
24:13So
24:16What seems to be the biggest issue?
24:19Communication
24:29Like holes
24:31Got it
24:32Let's start with signals
24:34We're gonna communicate
24:35Without saying anything
