00:04So the doctor says, we can freeze it or we can leave it, you know, but it's totally benign.
00:10And I'm like, doc, I've had this my whole life and holy moly, I'd miss him if he was gone.
00:21Anyway, one Moscow mole.
00:26I mean mule.
00:27Oh, hey, maybe that's what made me think of this, you know?
00:32You can touch it if you want.
00:33Gary!
00:34Gary.
00:35Do you have any tops with long sleeves?
00:37What?
00:38Because I showed them moly ringwold?
00:42Hey, maybe that's what made me think about it.
00:45Steve, how are we coming along with the new menus?
00:48Because these old ones are looking pretty ratty.
00:50Well, as you know, we've always used Jimmy's Paper Palace because you like to support local businesses
00:55and I like to be treated like a prince.
00:57Uh-huh.
00:58So I called Jimmy Sr., even though he turned the business over to his son, Jimmy Jr., because
01:02Sr. started the business and Jr. is not a people person.
01:06Right.
01:07Anyway, turns out the business closed.
01:11Because of Jimmy Jr.?
01:13No, COVID.
01:14Oh.
01:15But I'm sure Jr. didn't help.
01:17Have I told you about his gambling problem?
01:19Steve!
01:21Are we getting new menus or what?
01:23Tomorrow, Miss Busy.
01:28Now what?
01:29Emmett refuses to cook this steak medium well.
01:32Emmett!
01:33The cow's already dead.
01:35I'm not going to humiliate it.
01:41Okay, everybody.
01:43Happy checks this afternoon in my office.
01:46Aw!
01:46Ooh, happy checks.
01:48That sounds fun.
01:49They're not.
01:51They're performance reviews.
01:53I'd call them unhappy checks, but nobody would show up.
01:57Well, I'm not prepared for that.
01:59Oh, honey, you don't have to be.
02:01There's no reason for everybody hating both of us.
02:05No, I should be in there with you.
02:06We're co-owners.
02:07That means we share everything, even the unpleasant stuff.
02:10Okay, fine.
02:11But remember, when they get mad, sticks and stones may break your bones.
02:16But words will never hurt me.
02:19No, I'm telling you, they have sticks and stones.
02:29Sometimes it feels like a big old fight
02:33To get through the day and sleep on through the night
02:37But here you'll find a place
02:39That'll surely lift your spirits
02:42You belong in happy's place
02:48So how often do we do these happy check review thingies?
02:52Oh, not often.
02:53Kind of like flossing.
02:54You only do it when you need it.
02:57That's not how flossing works at all.
03:01I don't know.
03:01It just feels so weird criticizing people who are like family.
03:05Well, sometimes mama and daddy have to yell at the kids
03:08For peeing in the tomato plants.
03:13Nobody here is doing that, right?
03:15Nah.
03:16But I had a cousin that did get in trouble for that.
03:19We stopped eating salads at their house.
03:23Okay.
03:24Ew.
03:26We're not actually going to yell at them, though, are we?
03:28Oh, of course not.
03:29Well, maybe Emmett.
03:31Iron sharpens iron.
03:33But you don't have to be here.
03:34I mean, the offer still stands.
03:36No.
03:36We're in this together.
03:38Okay?
03:38So who's up first?
03:39Okay.
03:40Steve, you're up!
03:43I got you a little gift.
03:47Just because I'm a nice person who likes doing nice things for other nice people.
03:53Uh-huh.
03:54That's sweet.
03:56Are they for both of us?
03:58Okay.
04:01Steve, when we ask you questions, you answer with way too many details.
04:06Okay, if I may defend myself...
04:08You may not.
04:10Just knock it off, okay?
04:12Fine.
04:13You know what?
04:15These are for nice people.
04:17You bet.
04:18Tell him that he's up.
04:24Yikes.
04:25That was a little rough.
04:26What are you talking about?
04:27I mean, you just tossed it out there.
04:30Hey, Steve, we have a problem with you.
04:32Here it is.
04:32Bleh!
04:37He's a big boy.
04:39He'll be fine.
04:47Here.
04:49I got you these.
04:53Completely independent of Steve.
04:55Emmett, you need to stop hooting and hollering at the customer
04:59whenever they order food in a way you don't like.
05:02Well, if I don't yell, how are they going to know?
05:05They won't.
05:07They'll eat the food they ordered.
05:09Without your opinion, they'll pay for it,
05:11and we'll call it a restaurant.
05:14Fine.
05:16And we know it will be delicious
05:18because you're such a great chef.
05:21Keep up the good work, soldier.
05:25War is hell.
05:29What was that all about?
05:31A compliment.
05:33Not surprised you didn't recognize it.
05:36Do you have a problem with the way I'm doing these reviews?
05:40No, as a matter of fact, I do.
05:42You're upsetting people.
05:44Nobody likes criticism, but we get over it.
05:47Just like I'm going to get over the way you're talking to me right now.
05:52If you compliment someone before you criticize them
05:55and then end with a compliment,
05:56people tend to take the criticism much better.
05:59It's called a compliment sandwich, and it totally works.
06:02Tons of studies say so.
06:03Mm-hmm.
06:04Seriously?
06:05Who are these people doing these studies
06:07because they sound like a bunch of whiny babies to me?
06:10Can we just try my way, please?
06:12You know, if it works, isn't it worth it
06:15taking a little extra time to spare someone else's feelings?
06:19Mm-hmm.
06:19Fine.
06:20But if it doesn't work,
06:21I'm sending you some of my cousin's tomatoes.
06:29So, how'd your review go?
06:31Well, apparently, I take too long to give answers to very simple questions.
06:36But details are necessary.
06:38Without them, you have no context.
06:40Without context, you don't have understanding.
06:42And without understanding, you have nothing.
06:45Well, I guess they'd rather live in ignorance.
06:49How do yours go?
06:50Well, I'm not supposed to complain about customers who are idiots.
06:56What?
06:56You worked really hard on your recipes.
06:59You're entitled to get upset when someone doesn't appreciate them.
07:02And you should be able to talk as much as you want
07:04because you're a funny little guy.
07:09And you're a tall man who speaks the truth.
07:12Aw.
07:14Are the baby's feelings hurt after a little criticism?
07:18Let me play you a sad song on the world's smallest cello.
07:28Um, you're supposed to play the world's smallest violin.
07:32That looks like you're brushing your knees.
07:34Well, I don't know how to play the violin
07:36because my mom said playing the violin would make me look like a giant.
07:41Well, we're not being babies.
07:43We can take criticism.
07:45Yeah, I just don't like it.
07:47You want me to give you a little advice?
07:50No.
07:52Always expect the worst.
07:55You can't get too low if you're already living in the basement, baby.
08:00Listen to Yo-Yo Ma.
08:04Gabby, you're up.
08:05All right, McAllister.
08:08Give it to me straight.
08:10I can take it.
08:11I warmed up earlier by FaceTiming my mom with no makeup.
08:18Actually, Gabby, Isabella will be leading your review.
08:21Ah.
08:22Okay, Sanchez.
08:24Hit me where it hurts.
08:28Gabby, you are one of the best bartenders I've ever seen.
08:36Okay.
08:38The customers love you.
08:40The staff loves you.
08:41I mean, even the mean guy who delivers the beef loves you.
08:46Well, he's not so bad once you figure out which eye to look at.
08:52You're a valuable part of this team.
08:54And we are so, so lucky and so, so grateful to have you.
08:59Well, um, okay, this is the best day of my life.
09:06Thank you, guys.
09:08Hang on.
09:09You hadn't finished your sandwich here.
09:14What?
09:15There is one thing we'd like you to work on.
09:18We feel that sometimes you tend to overshare a little with the customers.
09:25Overshare?
09:27How do I overshare?
09:30Well, like that time a customer ordered a Reuben sandwich and you told them how you dated a
09:36circus clown named Reuben who dumped you at a Greyhound bus station.
09:42He claimed there was no room in his car and everyone knows that is a lie.
09:48Time to slap on that other piece of bread.
09:52But what we really want you to carry away from here is that you are a vital piece of the
09:57Happiest Place family.
10:00Still the best day of your life?
10:04Okay, I'm confused.
10:06You complimented me.
10:07Then you criticized me.
10:09But then you complimented me again.
10:12Exactly.
10:12Yes.
10:14Why are you playing with my mind?
10:20You lowered my defenses so I wasn't prepared when you kicked me between the cello holders.
10:32And here I thought gluten-free was the worst kind of sandwich.
10:37Liver and onions.
10:39No onions?
10:40Are you nuts?
10:42Liver needs help.
10:45It's wrong, but you can't say anything.
10:48Are we suddenly supposed to not care?
10:50This is insanity.
10:52Man, I cannot believe them.
10:55What?
10:55What'd they say?
10:56Well, after emotionally waterboarding me, they said that I overshare with the customers.
11:05You oversharing?
11:07Did they mean overcaring?
11:10You are not just a bartender.
11:13You're a therapist.
11:14A psychic.
11:15A minister.
11:16Your personal stories have probably saved lives.
11:21Maybe pull it back a little bit.
11:24Hey, can you guys keep it down in there?
11:26The customers can hear you out here.
11:28Oh, really?
11:29Well, don't tell the bosses or it'll end up on my next happy check.
11:33What do you mean?
11:34Well, Dakota, I can't help but notice that you were not called into the office.
11:38Why?
11:39Is that because you're perfect?
11:40Or because you're a spy.
11:42Well, I'm not a spy.
11:46Well, well, well, look who thinks he's perfect.
11:50Well, I don't think I'm that either.
11:52I'm just like you guys.
11:53I've got tons of flaws.
11:55Name one.
11:56Well, one time I...
11:59One time you what?
12:01You couldn't come up with a life fast enough?
12:03Yeah.
12:06Sorry, undercover boss, but I ain't signing a waiver.
12:12You guys gotta help me.
12:14I need a happy check.
12:16A bad one.
12:17What's gotten into you?
12:19Everyone's ticked off at you guys, and they think I'm a spy.
12:23A spy?
12:24That's crazy!
12:26If anything, you're a teacher's pet.
12:29Get down.
12:30They might hear you.
12:31Wait, hold on.
12:32What do you mean everyone's ticked off at us?
12:35I don't know if I should say...
12:37Why not?
12:37They already think you're a spy.
12:40Oh, man.
12:42This must be why James Bond doesn't have any friends.
12:47Whoa, whoa, whoa.
12:48Where are you going?
12:49I'm going to go talk to them.
12:51I don't want them upset.
12:53I think if I explain to Steve and Emmett that their reviews weren't as bad as you made them sound,
12:58they'll feel better.
12:59So you think this is all my fault?
13:00How do you explain Gabby's reaction?
13:04Can we ever explain Gabby's reaction?
13:07Isabella, listen to me.
13:09Talking to them's only going to make it worse.
13:11The best thing we can do is just leave them alone.
13:14Yeah.
13:16I'm going to go talk to them.
13:18Well, I hope they listen to you better than you listen to me.
13:27I just don't find it fair when I try to do it in the nicest way possible.
13:31Oh, I'm sorry.
13:33I can't take a criticism unless you tell me how wonderful I am first.
13:38Isabella, let it go.
13:39No, I don't want them to be upset.
13:41Especially because my critiques weren't even that big a deal.
13:45Okay.
13:48What?
13:49What was that?
13:52Come on, ladies.
13:54Where I come from, snorting leads to hair pulling.
13:58I just think it is really easy for certain people not to expect other people to get upset at those
14:03certain people
14:04when those certain people never have to get criticized by those other people.
14:11Now, are you certain people and I'm other people or am I other people and you're certain people?
14:17All I know is it is really easy for you to because you never have to get criticized.
14:22Wait, is that what's bothering you?
14:23Yeah.
14:25Well, would it make you feel better if you all got to criticize us?
14:28Yeah.
14:28Wait.
14:29Wait.
14:30No.
14:31We don't want to do that.
14:33What's the problem?
14:34It only seems fair.
14:36Yeah, Bobby.
14:36What's the problem?
14:37It only seems fair.
14:40I don't have to be fair.
14:41I'm the boss.
14:46Last time I sat in a circle like this, I was only allowed to use my first name.
14:53So, what the heck is this again?
14:55Well, uh, just as Bobby and I had some suggestions for you about how you do your jobs,
14:59we thought you might have something to say about how we do our jobs.
15:03Yeah, well, not to your face.
15:06Would you prove this?
15:08Sure.
15:08I mean, I don't know.
15:09Whatever.
15:10Just join the circle.
15:11Uh, I think what Bobby means to say is that we are walking into this with open minds and
15:17hearts.
15:18And closed fists.
15:21We are doing this so that there are no hard feelings and everybody feels heard.
15:25Well, I would just like to say, Isabella, that that is truly admirable.
15:29You're a real leader.
15:31Oh.
15:32Well, thank you.
15:35Except you build people up just to tear them down.
15:40You're like a Taylor Swift revenge song.
15:44Really?
15:45You didn't see that coming?
15:47Gabby, I'm not just trying to build you up.
15:50I actually think you do a great job.
15:52Okay, save it, sister.
15:54I'm not falling for that crap anymore.
15:55It's not crap.
15:57It's...
15:57I have a complaint.
16:01In conversations, you always have to have the last word.
16:05I don't think I do that.
16:06Believe me, you do.
16:07Agree to disagree.
16:08You just did it.
16:11Maybe move on to friendlier shores.
16:15Okay, but he's wrong.
16:17Chagoda, you haven't said anything yet.
16:19Oh, well, this ought to be good.
16:21Can't wait to hear what Benedict Arnold has to say about our dear leaders.
16:25I'm not a spy.
16:27Exactly what a spy would say to himself in the mirror, practicing how not to sound like a spy.
16:35Isabella, you put a target on my back.
16:37Oh, hang on.
16:38I was in there, too.
16:40It's okay, Bobby.
16:41He's just making an observation.
16:42Yeah, whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, sweetie.
16:46Are these the sticks or the stones?
16:49Okay, y'all picked on her enough.
16:51Doesn't anybody have anything bad to say about me?
16:53I do.
16:55Why the hell would you agree to Isabella's stupid idea?
16:59Okay, good session.
17:01I am going to go and...
17:05and...
17:06and I'm going.
17:10Well, y'all happy now that you made her cry?
17:14Kinda, yeah.
17:17Well, I'm not.
17:19Your boo-hoo complaining was not enough.
17:22You had to go and only pick on Isabella.
17:25There's a good reason for that.
17:27We're scared of you.
17:30I'm not.
17:31Oh, yeah, Emmett, you're a big old tough guy.
17:34We get it.
17:35So does that girl out there crying.
17:38I'm not proud of that.
17:40Well, you shouldn't be.
17:42Y'all are some of the best people I know.
17:46And you attacked the one person that was just trying to help you.
17:54I feel terrible.
17:56You should.
18:00Spying is a terrible thing.
18:09There you are.
18:11I thought you ran out in the alley.
18:14I did.
18:15But the trash has a bunch of cabbage in it right now,
18:17so I thought I'd just wait in here.
18:21Well, you have every reason to.
18:23They were way out of line.
18:25No, they weren't.
18:26They were just doing what I asked them to.
18:28In a really mean and spiteful way.
18:32Oh, honey, you only did that because you care so much.
18:37I mean, I also did it because I know that criticism hurts my feelings,
18:40and I don't want to make another person feel that way.
18:43I get it, but you need to weather the storm.
18:46People being mad at you is just part of being the boss.
18:49I just don't take it personally.
18:52You're right.
18:53I know.
18:54Don't get down on yourself.
18:56You bring out the good in people.
18:59That's why we love having you around so much.
19:02Okay, why are you grinning like that?
19:05Because I think you just gave me a compliment sandwich.
19:10No, I didn't.
19:12Wow.
19:13Bobby learned something from me.
19:17You keep grinning like that, I'm going to give you a happy check.
19:20Well, just be sure to compliment me like you learned.
19:26Gotta be really right to leave a room like that.
19:29Yeah, she's really right.
19:35Isabella, I have an update on that stove repair.
19:38Okay.
19:39Siri said a 15-second timer.
19:41I called the guy we used last time, but he's out sick,
19:44so I found another guy who can do it,
19:45but we're going to have to open up early
19:47because he has to get out of here by 9 to get to his brother's wedding.
19:50It's the brother's third marriage, and nobody likes the bride,
19:53but he's still got to go, and don't fix it on Tuesday!
19:58Great.
19:59Well done, Steve.
20:02At first, I thought I needed 20 seconds,
20:04but then I talked to my cousin's dock sitter, and he said...
20:06Ding!
20:10Isabella?
20:12Unhappy Kathy just ordered a sex on the beach,
20:15and she still has no idea what I did in Tahiti.
20:19I'm proud of you, Gabby.
20:21I am keeping it all in.
20:22I'm probably growing a tumor, but my tips are up 20%.
20:28I think those performance reviews are starting to pay off.
20:31Mm-hmm.
20:32Bobby, Emmett won't cook a steak medium well again.
20:36Emmett!
20:36What?
20:38Did the narc tell you I just said no?
20:42I didn't call the customer an idiot like I wanted to.
20:46I got this.
20:47Emmett!
20:49Stop your hooting and hollering and give the customer what he wants!
20:54You got it, boss.
20:57See?
20:58I learned something from you, too.
21:00Wow.
21:01Dakota, you care too much about what other people think.
21:04That's something you can work on.
21:06Thank you!
21:08Did you guys hear that?
21:09Isabella really gave it to me.
