1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,440 Do we all bring our pictures of our lost and found? I thought that was a thing. 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,000 I did. I didn't. It was my assignment. So I didn't. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,400 So will we get a husband in other weeks? I almost brought the item. 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,400 I totally forgot. But then I didn't want to because I couldn't 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,800 find a bag. I didn't want to touch it. We should talk about some runner-ups. 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,680 Oh, okay. One of the runner-ups was a prosthetic leg. 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,400 But I don't have that one. I didn't choose that one. 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,520 All right. Now on that note, welcome back to your tale from the service industry. 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,280 I'm your host. I'm Bill. Tonight we are rejoined by Mike. 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,000 Hello. Welcome back. Welcome back. 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,400 I didn't know if you were pointing at me or want me to pull your finger. 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,840 Our listeners won't see you pointing. Get some good radio noise. 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,240 And as always, Ms. B. Hey, guys. 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,720 And Liz, the resident deviant. Hi, team. 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,120 So Mike, it's been a while, man. Has been a while. 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,520 We appreciate you coming first and foremost. It's always fun. 17 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,240 I usually have to take a couple weeks off just to gather some more information, 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,080 some more stories. It's always a solid journey. 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,160 Come back and usually just whatever creams to the crop or goes to the top is said. 20 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,480 And you guys are like, Oh, my God. Did you mean the rhyme? 21 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,320 No, no. Oh, that was good. 22 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:11,680 He's a poet. Did you know it? You're definitely not. 23 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,120 I know. The episodes that you've been on have been some of my favorite. 24 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,600 And once I've laughed like the hardest. So you're going to have to tell me, 25 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,760 have you had any flying blow up ladies recently? No, we have not any flying blow up. 26 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,840 Wow. Okay, that's good. But we have, we did have something fall though. 27 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,960 Okay. So are we getting right into it? Yeah, we're jumping in. 28 00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:30,400 We're jumping in. I love it. 29 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,600 So I've had a crow's nest. Crow's nest is literally crow's nest right in front of my. 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,600 Like the bird. Yeah. Okay. 31 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:44,160 Huge. It's probably, I think the specialist told me it was probably about 12 to 13 inches in diameter. 32 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,600 Wow. It's a large nest, right? 33 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,320 Big ass bird. Oh, the nest, not the bird. 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,920 And so I scheduled to have it taken down by. I was thinking like the wingspan of the bird. 35 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,000 No, the nest. Oh, that's huge. 36 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,640 It's a huge nest. So call specialists take care of the nest. 37 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,520 Okay. He in turn calls the county because it is a bird's nest. It's protected. 38 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,160 What? Yep. So they both come out here. 39 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,880 It is on the sign. So it's obviously about 40 feet in the air. Okay. 40 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,440 Right above the port of Cachet. Right. 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,360 You can access it a little bit closer from the second because you hop on the port of Cachet's 42 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,320 roof. Okay. 43 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,200 Possibly reach it, but you're still a good solid 30 feet. 44 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,880 How did y'all like scope this out? How did you see it for the first time? 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,600 Or did you see the crow like flying around? Indications were their poop. 46 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,200 That'll do it. Everywhere. 47 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,040 Okay. That was kind of dumb. Everywhere. 48 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:39,600 Gravity works. And the mess and also the amount of sticks that would fall there. They were 49 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,520 billing this thing. I was like, those guys are a solid bush. So anyway, literally we're both 50 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,320 staring at this. The guy from the county is like, we can't take this nest down. 51 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,320 What? Yeah. Could have eggs and it could be 52 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:54,400 protected. So carry it. I was like, so these birds go to the bathroom all the time. 53 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,800 And they're saying you have to just like keep them there. Yeah. 54 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,440 It's not a protected bird, but I know they're scared. 55 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,080 Hurt the desk. You have to have someone staffed ready to clean it all points of day and night. 56 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,840 That's crazy. Yeah. 57 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,840 Increase your payroll budget. There you go. And right after the specialist, the guy who's going 58 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,280 to schedule to knock it down goes, well, at least we care about the birds. Oh my. 59 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,120 Out of right field comes got it. And it just drops and just splatters everywhere. 60 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:21,040 Wait, the nest? Yeah. 61 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,000 So who says that was an accident? My, my workers devised a little stick to stick up there 62 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000 and knock it down on the thing. They're on the roof or they are on the portrait shades roof. 63 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,680 Yeah. To knock it down in front of the specialist. 64 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,000 Yeah. And I was like, is that thing is always like, no, it's down now. He goes, but. 65 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,280 So now I can remove it because it fell. He saved me a whole bunch of money. 66 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,320 Oh my gosh. I will say though, 67 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,120 an all disclaimer, because I don't want to get any in trouble here. No birds or eggs were harmed in 68 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,600 the harnessing of doing these motion. So there wasn't eggs? 69 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,120 No, there was nothing in it. It was just a nest. There was probably birds flying in and out of it 70 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,880 because the mess, but there was nothing else in there. Okay. Well, that's, that's good. 71 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,240 I don't know if you guys know birds nest that well, but I'm not kind of Navy. 72 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,440 I'm an expert. Yeah. 73 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,920 I'm just kidding. There's a lot that goes into those nests 74 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,640 from when they get that large. So there was just branches everywhere. 75 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,640 Oh my gosh. It looked like a tree fell. 76 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,000 That's crazy. Yeah. A 12 foot net. 77 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,360 It was everywhere. Yeah. 12 inch. 78 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,320 Heck no. It was, it was huge. It was probably was like this big, like a, yeah, 12, 13 inches. 79 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,800 Oh my gosh. What ruler are you using? 80 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,680 That's like a good 16. Is it? 81 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,760 I was going to say that's like 24. Okay. Hold your hands up. How big was it? 82 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,520 Like how the man says it's just a larger. 83 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,240 Size doesn't matter. 84 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,040 Okay. So I'm another serious question. That's 16 maybe. 85 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,240 That's at least 20 inches across. I was going to say 18 to 20. 86 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,280 20 inches. Fair enough. 87 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:50,400 But now we need to also include instead of just a lesson on commas and decimal points, 88 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,360 we need to talk about units of measure. Yeah, we do. 89 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,000 Okay. I have another serious question. I think we both work in a similar area. 90 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,840 Yes. A really fun area. 91 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:03,040 How many individuals do you have to deal with on a daily basis, 92 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,840 getting them to stop going to the restroom in or around your property? 93 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,640 Homeless. We're talking about homeless. Yeah. I'll say it. 94 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,640 Realistically, the numbers probably all have five to 10. 95 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,880 A day. But the biggest thing ever is that I 96 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,880 solve the issue. How did you solve it? 97 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,520 I'm still dealing with this. Took off the handle and put 98 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,920 install the lock to it. So now you have to get the key from the desk. 99 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,640 That's okay. Wait, do you have to ask for the key or ask for the code? 100 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,720 Cause you were set a much larger hotel in mine. So. 101 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,360 It's smaller. Them going in the bathrooms are not our 102 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,480 biggest problem. No. 103 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,200 So. In the bushes? 104 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,800 So. So what are your number one and number two biggest problems? 105 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,320 So this was literally, I think this was last week. 106 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,480 I am leaving the hotel and this happens constantly. 107 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,160 I'm leaving the hotel. I'm pulling out. So there's like a stop sign, right? 108 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,440 And I'm just watching traffic go by waiting to make a right turn. 109 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,600 But on my left-hand side, directly next to me is my hotel. 110 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,200 And I'm kind of just waiting for the traffic to stop, but I see like a movement. 111 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,800 And so I look and there's someone climbing into the bushes. 112 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,480 Of my hotel. And I immediately like, look at them, you know, 113 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,240 given the glare and I rolled down my window and I said, you need to get out, 114 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,760 get out of the bushes out. And she's like, she looks me dead in the eyes and says, no. 115 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,760 And then I'm like, excuse me. She's like, I gotta take a. 116 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,160 And I, my mouth is completely agape and I'm like, well, you can't do it here. 117 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,160 Like you need to go somewhere else. And she's like, no, I don't let me. 118 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,560 And while she's saying this, she's now behind the bush. So I can only see like chest and up. 119 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:44,000 She is taking a squat, pulling down her pants and just yelling at me while taking my bush. 120 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,400 And yeah, that's quite the multi-task. 121 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,400 It was actually in a different area, but very similar. Okay. 122 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,000 So, uh, I, I basically created a huge fit because my lawn was dying on my hotel. 123 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,760 Okay. Care wise. So I got ahold of the guy. It's kind of hard to get hold of. 124 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,360 Is this where I think it's going? So he wants to test out all the 125 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,480 sprinklers. He thinks they're broken. Okay. So I go behind the dumpster. 126 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,880 I just remind all the homeless that do use it for a bathroom. 127 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,480 And I was like, Hey guys, you guys gotta go. They're like, yes, off as they're, you know, 128 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,640 pooping and going on stuff like that. And I was like, okay, well guys, this is, 129 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,160 and also to just start spraying everywhere. Water sprinklers flying everywhere. 130 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,600 Yeah. The restroom is now closed. 131 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,360 It was flooded. Yeah. I tried warning them to be honest, disclaimer, nothing bad happened. 132 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,480 See, I'm heartless. I said we should set up like one of those motion detector ones, 133 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,040 because like I said, it's a serious problem in our bushes that we have someone who's the 134 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:46,080 groundskeeper, right? That's basically his entire job is picking up human excrement. 135 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:52,080 My anti-vagrant hack from one of my hotels was we reprogram the sprinklers to come on 136 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,880 like every four hours for like two minutes. I love that. 137 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,520 Just gets everything wet and makes everything very uncomfortable. And they just drift it off 138 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,480 to other hotels. By flotation device or inner tube? 139 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,920 You don't want to squat in a wet lawn, I guess. 140 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,160 I can't imagine. It depends on how hot it is. 141 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,880 Wet bushes. Shoot. No. 142 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,440 But did you just, you were waiting for like the traffic light to go and you just had your window 143 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,240 rolled down, yelling at this woman. No, I rolled it down to yell at her. 144 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,160 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what'd you do? 145 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,640 Was she done with her business when like the light turned green? 146 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,000 No. So she just was, she was just still back there by the time the light turned green. 147 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,120 And so as I'm driving away, I just, I call my chief engineer and I'm like, 148 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,120 Hey, you need to send someone out to the bushes. 149 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,120 This is like a common occurrence. It's most places around us, like, you know, 150 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,240 their doors are locked, like the coffee shop across the street. They like have signs posted. 151 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,280 And I think it's supposed to be a policy. They're supposed to just let everyone use the restroom. 152 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,280 They have signs that say restrooms are closed so that they just don't let people in. 153 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,040 You know, I do feel bad in that, you know, I don't know where else for them to go, 154 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,920 but I mean, bushes, man. That's our best option. I guess you're like kind of covered. 155 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,280 Go to the public park, not my hotel. But a lot of places will put like the code 156 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,720 and you have to like embarrassing. I even get shy, like asking like, 157 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,000 Hi, can I have the code for the bathroom? I get embarrassed asking. 158 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,760 Oh, I don't. I say need it now as I'm holding a screaming toddler. 159 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,600 Oh, yeah. No, I don't have a problem. We used to have a hotel person was 160 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,200 going to the bathroom in the stairwells. Oh, yeah. That sucks. 161 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,320 It just walks out like, oh, man, a dog, please. 162 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,320 Now we have it currently in our elevator, like our, our garage elevator. So it's like you get it. 163 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,320 It's horrible. And people just do that. How do they get in the garage elevator? 164 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,320 You don't need a key. It's just you walk into the parking structure and you go into the elevator 165 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,240 and they take a dump there. It's mostly pee. Oh, OK. Yeah. 166 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,880 Should we blame the men on that one? Oh, definitely going to blame them on that. 167 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,320 We don't see any funnels in there. So based on the stories that Ali shared, 168 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,360 it could be a woman. It could. It could. Yeah, that's true. 169 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,200 The accuracy, though, just hitting the wall. Oh, if it's just like ground puddle. 170 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,000 Yes, woman. But if there is anything like high up on the wall, like waist level, I don't know. 171 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,160 I mean, I can't say I stare too closely at it, but I still want to blame men on that. 172 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,800 Why put your limitations on that? So speaking of the rarideer, 173 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:27,920 to kind of go off of that story is actually I actually had somebody who was fixing a car 174 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,240 outside the back of my hotel. OK. And had to look twice at this one. 175 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,520 Wasn't wearing any pants. Oh, yeah. 176 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,080 Because that's the way we like to fix our. Yeah. 177 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,760 By duct tape, too. So I didn't realize she was wearing pants. I got really close and I was like, 178 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:47,120 hey, do you help? OK, stood up and behold, she actually actually had a tail behind her, too. 179 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,320 A tail. Yep. 180 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,960 I don't get it. Like a removable tail. 181 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,520 What? Is this real life? Oh, that is real life. 182 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,760 Like a furry tail? Yep. Like a furry tail. 183 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,440 OK. Like furry tail. 184 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,440 Not not a fairy tale. No, no, no. 185 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,320 Furry. Furry. 186 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,160 What? I'm guessing no undies. Nothing. 187 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:02,960 Wait, you have. No, nothing. 188 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,360 You have photo evidence here for us. No way. I'm actually scared. 189 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,080 Yeah. I don't know if I want to see that. 190 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,240 She stood up straight up. She's like, no, I don't need help. 191 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,880 I'm like, OK. No, you do. 192 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,200 You do need help. Oh, but nothing I can provide you with. 193 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,520 Oh, Lord. But yeah, it was. 194 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,760 How about we make some pants out of that duct tape? 195 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,520 Yeah. But she was fixing her vehicle with duct tape. 196 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,440 Yes, she was. One way to do it. 197 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,840 It's one way to do it. Arkansas Chrome. 198 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,160 That's it. But yeah, that's one's really surprised because I was not ready for it. 199 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,120 I should have looked. But you know me, I was jumping in action. 200 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,800 I think you saw enough, Mike. Yeah, I think I just. 201 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,400 Should have seen when I was walking into that one. 202 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,440 Oh, my gosh. Can't find the picture. But yeah, that happened. 203 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,160 No, you have to find the picture. Oh, it's it's. 204 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:53,920 It's around here somewhere. He showed it to me. 205 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,520 I saw the receipt. He's got it. 206 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,160 I think Miss B needs to see it. Yes, she does. 207 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,120 I'm scared. Do I? Yeah, you do. 208 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,360 No, it's not that bad. It's not that bad. 209 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,480 Crazy. I was just like, OK, this happened. 210 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,760 No, because I'm just visualizing my head, so probably give me worse than that. 211 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,000 Probably not. I would assume. 212 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,760 Hey, I shared my story. But you got more. 213 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,560 It's like a burden here or something. Did the crow follow you? 214 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,560 The crow followed me. That's funny. 215 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,120 The crow followed me. Jerks. 216 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,720 So is that the craziest thing that happened to your hotel recently? 217 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,720 No, we've had we've had others. 218 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,560 Oh, I had so nonchalantly. No, there was nothing. 219 00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:45,680 Yeah, no, it shouldn't have surprised me, but it did just because it wasn't ready for it. 220 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,680 I thought I was just trying to help her out. 221 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,640 But how do you know they have pants on? That's insane, right? 222 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,480 I mean, I've definitely seen some crazy ass shoot. 223 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,600 Miss B, personally, have you ever gone in public like without pants on? 224 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,640 No. Intentionally. 225 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,520 Intentionally or not intentionally? No, I'm sorry. 226 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,400 It doesn't matter how intoxicated I am. I don't think I've ever like just like 227 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,000 walked out commando. Or do you think someone has like 228 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,600 you've worn like a long shirt or short dress? 229 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,520 I'm sure it may have looked like I wasn't wearing pants, 230 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,000 but I definitely was like shorts and a long shirt or sweater. 231 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,680 Yeah, of course. Oh, there it is. 232 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:23,680 Wow. Yeah. 233 00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,600 OK, is there a tail? There is a tail. 234 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,600 A furry tail? A furry long tail. 235 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,200 She is fixing her vehicle. 236 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,520 You know, the story is there are always like call girls that wear this stuff. 237 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,480 I mean, I'm not one to throw mine in the morning time, 238 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,000 but it looked like she was all about it. 239 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:36,640 Your call girl? 240 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,040 But for the listeners, it's I think it's an oversized hoodie 241 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,080 that she's wearing. Oversized hoodie, no pants and a tail. 242 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,920 Because she threw the only reason is she threw her arms up like she was frustrated. 243 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,040 And you saw hoo-ha. Yeah. 244 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,880 Oh, everything. Oh, you saw the cookie? 245 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,400 Yeah, that's what that's what I'm like. 246 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,880 Gracious. So no evidence of that. 247 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,160 But no, because I just take pictures because it's probably going to wind up 248 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,440 the police at some moment in time. 249 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,960 Yeah. And the fact that I walked over there. 250 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,480 In your brain. Yeah, forever. 251 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,000 I'm always having to deal with the police. 252 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,400 Like, I know them way too much and talk to them way too much. 253 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,280 They're so they call me for a case like every other day, I swear. 254 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,200 It's just so annoying. Yep. 255 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,800 I feel you. Yeah, they usually roll in deep. 256 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,080 OK, I'm going to jump in here. Yeah, go. 257 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,920 Since Mike touched on the topic of prostitution and service workers. 258 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,080 So last night, I come in this morning to a recap that I thought was kind of funny. 259 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,560 Oh, my gosh. Did you print a shift report? 260 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,080 Maybe. That's amazing. 261 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,440 Yeah, I was going to say that's an official work document 262 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,640 that then lived in your backpack for the rest of the day. 263 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,520 Quite possibly. Read it. 264 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,120 Read it. Read it. 265 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,400 So does it start off? It was slow, but 266 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,360 17 pages later. Easy night until. 267 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,040 Yeah, we can talk about that later. But yeah, I love those two. 268 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,280 No, this one. So two females came to the front desk at different times 269 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:05,280 around one a.m. and two a.m. last night asking if any of our guests needed their services. 270 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,480 No way. And then they came back bold. 271 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,480 They solicited the front desk. Uh huh. 272 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,000 Uh huh. You never know. 273 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,400 And then came back shortly after with some males. 274 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,280 They took off after they were confronted by security because they were told that they did. 275 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,880 We did not accept cash. So they left shortly after. 276 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,440 Nine police cars were spotted directly outside the hotel at the adjacent property. 277 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,520 Wow. Yeah. 278 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,640 All said people involved with the nine police cars. 279 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,920 They were early trick or treaters. 280 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,320 Well, the trick part. 281 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,240 I see what you did there. Could have been tamale makers. 282 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,400 Do you want some more stuff? It's just in my trunk over here. 283 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,920 I just love the fact that like the prostitutes are coming in asking if any of the guests need 284 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,240 service. It's 2023. 285 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,440 They got they got their own website for reviews up. 286 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,880 That is funny. That is so funny. 287 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,240 Wrong kind of service workers. 288 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,200 Overnight, literally the craziest stuff like always happens. 289 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,200 Every overnight shift I've ever been stuck on has been like a shift from hell. 290 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,760 Listeners might not know, but the people in this room do, 291 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,880 that I had to do an overnight shift this last Sunday. 292 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,520 So Sunday to Monday because of a call out. 293 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,600 And it was the worst shift ever. 294 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,560 Not for my usual reasons. So you guys remember the last time I did one, 295 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,760 I had my stories because I had to keep kicking that guy out. 296 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,160 Yeah. So that was my last. 297 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,000 Yep. So I was just trying to train. 298 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,840 So this one, I wasn't doing any training and I didn't at all remember it in my training, 299 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,800 but I was just there holding down the desk. 300 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,760 At least you admit it. 301 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,160 Oh, absolutely. I wrote an email and was like the minimal training I previously had is gone. 302 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,120 There isn't it is not in my brain anymore. And I did my best. 303 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,360 Did you apologize to your like accounting department? 304 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,960 I bought her a sweater. So yeah, good gravel. 305 00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:02,000 So I am just dreading this night on a shift. I had a really long weekend and I drive to work 306 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,840 and I forgot about who was in the hotel. I pull up and I'm sitting in my car and I look 307 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,320 and I see a ginormous tour bus. And then I remembered that we had a group checking in 308 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,680 that day that sales predicted was going to be a nightmare. 309 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,920 And I was going to be there during their one night. 310 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,640 Your night on it. 311 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:22,080 And I was just in my car being like cursing and just upset. 312 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,680 Could we get that one more time for the people in the back? 313 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:33,840 Yeah. But so I'm literally in my car so upset. I'd like texted my friends. I was telling them like, 314 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:41,440 and so I, and so I gather my strength and my tears and I walk into work. 315 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,200 And just as I had expected, I asked like the desk team, I'm like, how have they been? 316 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,640 They're like, they're horrible. They're horrible humans. They're so rude. 317 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:57,680 And I'm just like, oh, I'm so excited. And so they all straight up dip at 11. They're just out. 318 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,600 Wait, sorry to interrupt. Can you allude to like who it was at all? 319 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,280 I guess I can for you guys. 320 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,080 Just a little bit. 321 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:04,640 So it- 322 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,920 Come on, we're all family here. 323 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:07,440 It was- 324 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,680 Just around the dinner table. Come on. 325 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:17,760 It was a large music group whose type of music they create is rap. And they are an older music 326 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,920 group. So they're not like, people were talking about them. I had no idea who they were, but 327 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,000 apparently they were relevant at some time. But to some people, they are still relevant. 328 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,120 And these people sure thought of themselves as relevant. So they were that group and then 329 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:36,640 all their posse and their friends. And it was two full tour buses, two full tour buses. 330 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,520 How many people can fit in a tour bus? 331 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:39,920 50. 332 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:46,320 50. Okay. So a hundred people, a lot of people. And they just, yeah, it was a nightmare. So I get 333 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,640 in there, desk agents have like dipped because they said it was awful. And I couldn't even start. 334 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,480 And I got it stuff pretty much my whole shift because they, like, I would go into the back 335 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,480 because like all the stuff saved on the back computer. 336 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,880 Do you want to allude to the room block situation? 337 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,640 I had asked the sales manager when like she was telling us. So she told us this group was 338 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,920 going to be happening because it was a last minute group on Friday. And they were supposed 339 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,520 to be arriving Sunday. I said, Hey, can we like pre block them all on the same floor? Because she 340 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,360 said they're partiers. And I didn't want it to like disturb other guests. And she's like, yeah, 341 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:18,240 we could try to do that. So I come in Sunday, all the desk agents have left. And I'm like, 342 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,600 just tell me they're all on the same floor. And they're like, no, they're not. They are 343 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,320 scattered throughout the entire hotel. I think, all right, let's do this. 344 00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:30,480 Can't isolate all your smoking complaints to just one floor. 345 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,600 They took the problem was, is they took a lot of sweets. And there's only two sweets on every 346 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,320 floor. So they're everywhere. And then they were just scattered throughout. Because I think at 347 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,480 that point, the points, it's just moot. Let me guess your salesperson that booked 348 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,680 it didn't Google who the group was. No, she knew. And she was cringing. She's like, 349 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,440 I'm really sorry. This is going to be a problem. Then why did she take it? 350 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,160 We needed the business on a Sunday. And if you're selling like a lot of heads and beds, 351 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:03,600 a good amount of sweets, too. Yeah. I mean, it was a decent piece of last minute business. 352 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:09,680 And the month is struggling. Look it. Yep. As an aside, yeah, there was a concert that I went to 353 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,800 that featured that band or that group. This is this is a bunch of years ago when they were 354 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:21,120 legitimately hot. Okay. So they were the last act. They came out on stage and they got super 355 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:26,800 combative with the crowd. The crowd walked. What? Now it was a small venue. Sounds really accurate. 356 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,880 These sounds like the people I was dealing with. It was a small venue that only sat five thousand 357 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,800 people only. And basically what happened was when they came out on stage, they were lit. 358 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:42,000 They were they were messed up. Sounds accurate. And they said something and I don't even remember 359 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,480 what it was, but they said something to the crowd and somebody in the crowd threw a water bottle on 360 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,040 the stage. They picked up the water bottle. They started yelling back at the crowd that whoever 361 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:56,560 threw that f and water bottle, you do it again. And we're out. And at that point, hundreds of 362 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,760 water bottles got thrown at the stage. I love that. And the crowd turned around and started to leave. 363 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,360 Oh, when I say started to leave, I don't mean like they were trickling out. I mean, like 364 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:10,480 literally hundreds of people every minute leaving the venue. I love that. And you were in the crowd. 365 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,280 Yeah. Well, we were in. He stayed. No, no, just him. At the time we were in the beer garden, 366 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,400 which is kind of like the back of the venue. So we could not exit immediately. It's kind of like 367 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,640 being in the last row of the plane. Right. Yeah. But you just had to chill and keep drinking and 368 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:30,720 watch like, well, yeah, I look, I paid for that $15 beer. I'm going to drink it. So we're sitting 369 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:36,480 there finishing our beers and literally within 15 minutes, 2000 and 2500 people already gone. 370 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,520 That's amazing. They ended up stopping the set. That's embarrassing. Yeah. So this group was not 371 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:47,600 fun to deal with. And I was the only one there with my security officer. So I am trying again, 372 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,080 keep in mind, my space is like, Oh my God, what did I learn in my last night of training? I'm like 373 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,200 racking my brain trying to do things, but they won't stop coming to the desk every two seconds. 374 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,400 None of them could keep a key to save their life. They needed a new room key. I swear just every 375 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,760 single one of them needed a new room key at least twice. And next time they book, make their room 376 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,080 keys, punch a hole in it, put it on a lanyard for them. Oh, I should have done that. That's gene. 377 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:18,000 They're gonna lose them anyway. Probably. But so they'll pass it to the left, right? No, that's 378 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:28,560 funny. Left. So I was left. Sorry. So I was like making them new room keys every two seconds, 379 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,920 trying to do the night audit. And then they kept coming in busloads. So they didn't, weren't like 380 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,160 all there at once. A lot of them came earlier, but then they're coming in like increments. 381 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,040 And I guess, you know, some people are still setting up or tearing down or whatever, 382 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:46,720 cause they had a show and every time a new busload came, they had so much stuff. It was like, 383 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:52,400 they were moving into the rooms. So many bags, so many boxes, like just so much. So they were using 384 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,760 all of our luggage carts. By the time I got there 11, there was no luggage carts. So my agents told 385 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,520 me they all took them and they're in their rooms because we've done a sweep of the floors. There's 386 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,800 no luggage carts on the floor. They have the carts in their room. So then these people of the same 387 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,520 group are coming with all this stuff and they're yelling at me because we don't have luggage carts. 388 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,400 And I said, your group has them in their room. I'm sorry, but they're the ones that are doing 389 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,960 this. We only have so many luggage carts. So I got yelled at for luggage carts. And then I got 390 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:24,720 these not so cute girls. I'm sorry, not so cute girls were coming up to the desk, trying to get 391 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,760 keys to rooms that didn't have their names on them. And was like, seriously? Like that's my name. 392 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,400 I was like, I don't know who you are. I don't know who they are. I'm not giving you a key. 393 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,760 Throwing temper tantrums. Then the guys coming up, getting all irritated with me. 394 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:44,400 And I was like, this is for your safety. And then this was them giving me, it was just the whole 395 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,840 night was just being given a hard time. And then the worst of them comes up. There's this guy in an 396 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:56,000 all orange, bright fricking orange sweatpants and hoodie. And he's holding a bottle of tequila in 397 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,960 one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other. And he comes up and he just won't stop giving me a hard 398 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,240 time. And we lock our restrooms at night because all public areas are closed. You're supposed to 399 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,680 go to your room. He comes up and he's like, Hey, I need to use the restroom. I was like, okay, 400 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,360 there's one located in your room. All the restrooms down here are locked. And he's like, 401 00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:17,920 seriously? And I was like, yes, all public areas are closed. So we would actually prefer that you 402 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:23,120 congregate in your room because this area is closed. And he was like, you're probably just 403 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:28,320 lying to me, aren't you? And I caught me off guard. I'm like, why would I lie about that? 404 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,680 And I told him, I was like, you can feel free to go check, but I'm not lying. And he's like, 405 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,720 oh, well, can you at least get me a luggage cart? And I said, your group has all of the luggage 406 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,400 carts and they're in their rooms because they have not bring them out. Well, then could you at least 407 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,920 get a bellman or something to help me? And I said, sir, it is 3.30 in the morning and there is no 408 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,080 bellman on. I said, it's you and me. And I said, and I have a security guy. Well, can at least he 409 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:57,840 come and help? I said, I will absolutely request him to come and help you. So he's just being so 410 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,440 combative with me so much so like I hadn't even called my security guy yet. And he was up there 411 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,360 at the desk and I'm like, how did you know? And he said he was actually on his lunch break and he was 412 00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:10,000 watching the security cameras and could tell they were giving me a hard time. So he came up from his 413 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,440 lunch break because he could tell I was getting frustrated and they were giving me a hard time. 414 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,040 And then so he's like, what do you need? Come on, let's go. Like trying to get them away from the 415 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:22,000 desk. And then while still dealing with that, we have like a market gift shop. We put like this big 416 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,160 barrier there overnight so people don't sneak in, grab something and leave. And we tell them they 417 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,560 have to go to the front desk to ring it up. I saw someone push this giant barrier to the side and 418 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,160 was in there. So while he's still dealing with that in front of me, I go to the right and I'm like, 419 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,200 sir, what are you doing? This area is closed. If you'd like something, you have to come to the front 420 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,960 desk and I can rig it up for you. He's like, oh, no, no, no, no, it's fine. I'll grab it. I'm like, 421 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,000 no, that's, that's not what I said. Uh, I will grab it for you. I need you to leave. He's like, 422 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,440 all right, all right, one second. So he's not listening to me. He goes into the beer fridge. 423 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,680 He takes out like four beers and I'm like, sir, you need to put those back. And he's like, why? 424 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:59,280 And I said, you cannot buy beer at three 30 in the morning. It is closed. Why not? And he's like, 425 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,640 what? Why? And I said, it is literally against the law to serve beer after two o'clock. 426 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,320 And he looked at me and he says, that's ridiculous. I've never heard of that. You're making that up. 427 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:14,080 Fun sucker. And I'm like, I'm just blown away. I'm so irritated. I'm tired. I haven't slept. 428 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,040 And I'm looking at him and I said, are you serious right now? Like all my professionalism was just 429 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,720 like out the door. I said, are you serious right now? And he's like, yeah. And I said, put the 430 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,160 beer back. And I said, it is California state liquor law. We cannot serve any alcohol past two 431 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,800 AM. And he's like, well, I've been in California a lot. How come I've never heard of that? And I 432 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:38,240 said, I don't know, but while you've been here, have you gone to any bars? Yeah. Said, what time 433 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:45,440 do they close? Pause two. Why do you think that is? Oh, well, I never thought of that. And I'm like, 434 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:52,000 okay, put the beer down. And then this proceeded to happen with other individuals keeping, trying to 435 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,560 come in and take my beer. And I'm like losing my mind. I would have just probably pulled all the 436 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:04,000 beer from the fridge. I would. If you had a second, if you had a second to, you probably would have. 437 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,120 Uh huh. And then there's so much alcohol in it. It would have taken me forever to get every little 438 00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:15,920 thing out. So on top of the tour, like a tour and travel group. Okay. So very similar, but 439 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:21,760 not of the same era. These guys are just here to see, um, the area we live in sites here. So this 440 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,800 was, so do you have a backstory in this one? Yeah. They came to see dirt. Yeah. Pretty much. No, no, this is 441 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,240 a different area. So to give you a backstory on this general manager, who's probably the most 442 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:38,000 craziest general manager ever had. He was, uh, no, not bill. Go on. That hurt. So he's like, 443 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,280 there's no way he's probably listening. He's been retired for years, but he was, the guy was insane. 444 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,280 He was totally, he's from, he was originally from New York and he had a temper tantrum problem. 445 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,920 He would go crazy. If you, if you're rain, he was an HR nightmare. He would call you out, 446 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,960 tell women to get makeup on themselves, like cut their nails. Men, like if you had a facial hair, 447 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,360 he'd go off on you in the middle of nowhere. So we have this tour, brand new tour and travel group. 448 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:04,640 We're trying to get different type of clientele in the group and they have a buffet. Okay. Okay. So 449 00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:10,560 he comes in, it was normal routine around 10 o'clock smoking in the lobby, lobby smoking, not like, 450 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:16,000 yep. Yep. Used to do it all the time. Oh, my GM. Yeah. That's funny. Yep. He walks right up to the 451 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,120 desk as I'm walking with this guest from the tour and travel group. He's going nuts. Oh God. He's 452 00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:26,960 like, Oh my God, this effing buffet smells like garbage. He goes, what is this stuff? Looks like 453 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:34,880 green slop on here. It just reeks. He goes, what are we coming to? And I'm like, sir, the, 454 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,560 we're gonna have some problems. The, uh, the guy right here, he's a part of the tour group 455 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,520 and his face just turned red. Cause you could hear everything he said. Oh God. And I was like, 456 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:53,200 but he only speaks banter and we have a translator. He's like, we don't have one. 457 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,840 So the breakfast is culturally culturally. Yeah. Okay. Culture oriented. Oh, that's funny. 458 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,840 It actually was a really good breakfast, but it was just how he was. He was very 459 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,800 adamant and in the morning time, it sounds like it'd be so entertaining to work for. I can't say 460 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:15,200 long-term like, but he really wasn't because he was, he was mean. He understood the hospitality 461 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,200 industry, but he was very one-sided and his management style was just to call you out. 462 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,320 You're always nervous because it doesn't know, but he spent a lot of time in the office. He 463 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:30,320 really did. He wasn't one to move around or this was a full service property. He didn't really 464 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,160 ever deal with guests. You get it around. That's why I'm asking. You get it around 10 o'clock 465 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,120 and he would usually look around three. Oh, nice. I want those hours. Yeah. Oh my God. That sounds 466 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,120 entertaining as heck. But they had the one, I just felt bad. I was like, bad if he heard that, 467 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,720 like it's just bad because it's a good breakfast. It was very well thought out, but like, but it 468 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:51,280 could be a strong smell. It was. Yeah. It's like I said, you just got to get used to it because 469 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,440 culturally we're just starting to use to it and because it was smelling eggs and bacon. Yeah. 470 00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:01,200 Like, yeah, that's funny. Yeah. Oh, quick go back. So remember how I told you I didn't buy a sweater. 471 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,760 Oh, one member of that group who was actually a nice human, he asked, he's like, would you mind 472 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,680 helping me? And like, you don't ask nicely. And I'm like, of course you asked nicely, whatever you 473 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,880 need. So I'm helping him lug and I was helping him store his stuff for the next morning. So I 474 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,160 didn't have to bring it up to his room and he was so grateful. And he's like, Oh, that's nice of you. 475 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,760 Yeah. And he's like, would you happen to want a sweater? I'm like, no, I'm okay. Like I was like, 476 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,680 not my cup of tea. And he's like, are you sure? And then I thought about it. And I remembered my 477 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,240 accounting girl loves them and wanted to come in on a Sunday just to see them. So I was like, 478 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,840 Oh, she's going to be the one cleaning up my mess. So I'm going to get her one. I was like, actually, 479 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:39,280 yes, I need that. So when the night was a mess, I got a free hoodie and I left it on her desk at 480 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,920 the, sorry, thanks for fixing my mess. And then she was more than happy to fix my mess. And she 481 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,160 went around showing off that sweater all day long. That's cute. But like ours is like in your car, 482 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:54,640 right? Cause you got, you got sweaters for, you know, your pod co-host. I'm so sorry guys. I only 483 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,160 got one for the person who cleaned up my mess. That's the only reason I showed up to this day. 484 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,400 Cut the cord. All right. That's a wrap. You know, it actually was really good to piggyback 485 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,960 off of that. We actually had a country singer show up really nice. And so, uh, the woman working on 486 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,120 the desk really recognized this country singer and, um, she was nervous about what to say. 487 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,120 Yeah. And so I said to him and he's like, Oh no, I know what I had to take care of. I was like, 488 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,280 could you go and say hi to her? Cause she's like shy and she didn't know what to say. So we went 489 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,880 to her and, uh, I was at the desk while he was with her and he goes, you obviously know who I am. 490 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:33,680 He goes, if you can name a song, I have a guitar. I'll play that song. No, shut up. She was like, 491 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,280 the brain fart. I'm like, Oh God, at this moment in time, I can remember one here. She literally 492 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,600 riddled off the whole album. She got a song and sure enough, they played. Yep. Well, he played, 493 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,600 he played the song. That is amazing. He was pretty spot on. He didn't think that he's like, 494 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:50,400 I'm pretty old, our country singer. So it's really nice to hear that. And, um, he gave, um, 495 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,480 guitar picks. It was really nice. Like it was really nice. He didn't have to do that. I don't 496 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,080 get many nice celebrities, so that's cool. He was really nice though. He's like, I'll take it from 497 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,480 here. He's like all about it. He likes, he was like, he wanted to like interact with the fan. 498 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,480 Yeah. He was super excited. He's, I was like, yeah, did everyone get photos? Most of the front 499 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,320 desk staff actually knew who he was. And he's actually mainstream. Most of them won't stop by 500 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,320 the desk. Like we had really famous ones. They don't even, someone never even leave the desk. 501 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,800 He actually got a room on the first floor to help one of his crew because he has a hard time walking. 502 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:29,360 Oh my God. Nice human garbage I've gotten. I know. Speaking of nice humans, we should take a quick 503 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:38,160 little pause here because we have a nice human who has shared items with us to be opened at the pod. 504 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,240 A listener gift. Wow. I'm so excited because I've been staring at this box and these scissors and 505 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,400 I've been wondering what it was. I'm super excited that you brought it. Well, we didn't really, 506 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,120 I mean, Bill and I gave a little backstory, but Miss B didn't get the backstory. Okay. 507 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,360 Should I open this box? Wait, so what is this? Who is this from? Do we know it's not ticking? 508 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:58,640 No, it's not ticking. It's not ticking. Okay. It's from, um, probably our most dedicated listener. 509 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,680 Oh, I'm so excited. Thank you. Listener. You mean the number one talk crap radio show 510 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:10,240 does have to worry about bomb threats. Our mail has to be very carefully instructed. 511 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:16,800 From this listener? No, I don't think she would, um, threaten my life. Eat crap, love the homeless. 512 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,480 These scissors are pretty sharp. I'm like kind of scared. Don't cut yourself. 513 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,800 You asked for scissors. I give you the best. We don't, the medic. I need the child scissors. 514 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,600 Rounded tip. Oh my God. 515 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:44,160 Well, okay. This is funny. Oh my God. It just keeps going. Tiny bottles of vodka and a lot of straws. 516 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:50,800 A lot of straws. Wait, are there 500? Oh, I don't know. Oh God. Okay. These are a lot of straws. 517 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:56,640 Whoa. No, these are more. Oh my God. Another hundred. This is so many straws. Oh my God. Another 518 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:02,960 hundred and so many booze is okay. We're gonna have a good night for our listeners. Um, if you 519 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:08,800 don't understand this joke, you need to go back and listen to the episode titled 500 straws for 520 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:15,840 Christmas. We will go ahead and post a photo. Oh my gosh. We put all these in all of the straws 521 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:21,520 we received from this phenomenal listener and booze. This is ridiculous. Oh my God. This listener's 522 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:27,040 amazing. 1800 is my fave. Is it really not sponsored 1800 tequila is my fave. Please tell me there's 523 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:32,160 Titos. Yes, there is. Are we going to take a shot on this show? That's what we're doing. Wait, what 524 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:39,200 are these straws? Where can you find these bamboo straws? Reusable bamboo straws. Do you dishwash 525 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:50,560 these? These dishes are safe. Guys, every alcohol is sponsored here. Fireball. Oh, I don't like fireball. Would you like to give a little background? 526 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:55,600 Um, no, I would just say, I would just say go listen to the episode. But yeah, you can, you can 527 00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:03,520 fill them in on the background. It's a great story. All I will say is, um, Liz has a straw. Yes, I do. 528 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:11,360 I have a straw problem. I these are big shots. Like these little nibs are more than a shot. Yeah, Liz, we have the best fans ever. 529 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:18,080 You may have a, you may have a straw addiction, but at the moment you don't have a problem. 530 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:26,880 The problem is now solved. You got straws till like 2025. Oh my gosh. Okay, let's see. Uh, one, two, 531 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:34,880 three, 50. I mean, these four things are 500 straws right there. That's 120 in my hand. Oh my God. So 520 plus 532 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:45,920 another 100. So 620 straws. I think that'll yeah 2025. That was a good guess. You know what I like the most about all of this? I'm so excited. The booze. 533 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:56,800 No, yes. But no, I like the assortment. There is a veritable cornucopia of straws. These are like cocktail straws. It looks like they went to multiple different stores to get 534 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:06,240 all these straws. These are solid, flexible straws. This looks like a chocolate milk or a smoothie on the front. Um, I love the patriotic straws. These, these are 535 00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:18,800 really good. Like either soda, water, ice coffee, party paper straws. That is for, oh, that'd be good for your greens in the boba straws. Those are bamboo. 536 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:28,880 Yeah. For a boba. See how they're big. That's so you can sip boba guys. Okay. Miss B is taking the boba straws. Oh my God. That's so cool. That is the funniest part of it. The bamboo straws. 537 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:40,560 Okay. So a little bit of tidbit that you'd mention about party and this has nothing to do with hotels. Just to go off on a side side note here. Okay. Is everybody from California in Michigan? There's party stores that has a lot of things. 538 00:36:40,560 --> 00:37:10,480 Like party city. Okay. A case in point. My wife's like, you mean party city? I'm like, no, like party store. Don't you guys have party stores? Like party city. She's like, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm like, they have pizza. It's the greatest pizza ever. They have groceries. What? Yeah. They have all the alcohol you could think of. They're called party stores in Michigan, but you don't have them in California. It sounds like a grocery store. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Do you go and consume all of these things or do you go and buy? You just purchase them. It's like a good party. So this isn't like a Chuck E. Cheese for adults. No, no. It's like a convenience store, but you guys don't have any and they're called party stores. 539 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:20,480 Do they sell decor? Yeah. And the food? Oh yeah. And the booze? Yeah. Oh nice. It's like a one stop shop everywhere. And like, it's so funny because it blows my wife's mind every time she hears another story about a party store. 540 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:39,480 I mean here you would have to go to party city. Okay. And then probably like, what, Costco? No, Costco. I'm sorry. For the listeners, Costco is the only and best place to get booze. Yeah. My bachelorette party was basically sponsored by them. And if that's news to you, you walk your booty down and go get a Costco card. Oh yeah. And the gas is cheap. 541 00:37:39,480 --> 00:38:09,400 When my family came, she started asking questions because she hasn't been to Michigan yet. Well, she has now, but at the time she hasn't, she started asking questions and more stuff part popping up. She's like, so what's at a party store? Like, oh, best pizza in the world. I was like, oh yeah. Yeah. Like, oh yeah. You get your balloons there. You get your, you get your stuff for your party there. They got alcohol there. They got, they got costume designs. They have costumes. They have masks there. You can do your, they have makeup counters. And my wife's like, what the? Until she walked into one. It was literally everything she ever hoped in her life. She's like, oh, funny. Yeah. 542 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:22,480 This is a party store. And the guy in the car was like, yeah, every day is a party. That's amazing. I wonder if our listener went to this party store. Thank you listener for all this fun goodies. It's just the party. The whole party thing kind of reminds me of that. 543 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:36,880 Because you guys don't have it in here. They're everywhere in Michigan. That's so funny. Yeah. I've never just a random tidbit. I've never heard of something like that. It sounds like me the first time I walked into a Fred Meyers. What's that? I don't even know what that is. It's like a department store, Pacific Northwest, Alaska. 544 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:58,080 Oh, yeah, you literally can buy everything from raviolis to shotguns to outboard ATVs. It's crazy. Oh, like a Bass Pro Shop and Walmart and Costco combined. Yes. I need to leave my state more. I don't know about Costco, but because it's not big bulk. Yeah. If all of those got together had a baby and then that baby only did upper body and never leg day. Yes. 545 00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:27,800 Nice. That's an analogy I can understand. Look, I speak to my audience. I like to break it down. Okay, so side note. Miss B is obsessed with the tiny tequila. It's so tiny. You all have a homework assignment. I did. Did you fail? The homework assignment that you're talking about is our lost and found challenge, right? So the day after we recorded. Oh, okay. I went to my housekeeping supervisor and I said, Hey, 546 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:55,480 give me something weird. No, no. I said, Hey, I know this is going to sound weird, but I have a homework assignment. Yeah. And I didn't give her the background because I don't really, I don't really advertise to my immediate peeps what we do on the side, right? So I just kind of alluded to the fact that my friends and I who are also in the industry have a little challenge going on. I said the same thing. I said I meet together with my hotel friends. And we were friends. I'll count you. 547 00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:16,800 And basically, I just played it off as we're playing a drinking game. Perfect. Okay. Yeah, accurate. We're playing a drinking game on the wildest thing that we can find in our respective loss and found. And she looked at me with the look of sadness in her eye and said, We just purged all of the expired loss and found. 548 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:32,680 How often do you expire it? 90 days? So every 90 days, they go back and everything that was there prior to 90 days gets distributed amongst the team and whatever is not claimed gets dumped and nothing within those like 90 days that had just occurred was like good enough. 549 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:48,760 Honestly, I looked through the log and everything was boring as vanilla. There was nothing good. So I will freely take the L on this one. Somewhere in my archives, I have photos of crazy stuff. So I can give an honorable mention but I am not in this competition. 550 00:40:48,760 --> 00:41:12,080 So my team's a little weird. Interesting. We log our lost and found. If it is brought up to the front desk, sometimes it kind of sits back there a little bit. But sometimes they kind of become a part of the office until they're claimed. Okay, so we currently have a master's degree on our wall that we've collectively decided is our master's degree. 551 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:32,600 But like someone's name and their university. Absolutely. People go, What is that? We go, It's lost and found. We don't know. So it's our master's grades on the wall. And then we have like random items. And this is one of those items. So this was just turned in like as you said this episode, like he's literally sitting there on one of the computers now. And he's a lost and found item and he 552 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:54,800 is sitting on one of the computers. We've named him. Okay, is your pet? Is it alive? We've named him Jerry. Does it have a heartbeat? Oh my god. Wait, he's so cute. No, he's not. He's kind of creepy. But like kind of from far away. He looks kind of cute, right? Far away looks cute until you look at his face really quick. So this is like a long armed like plush thing. It is a doll of some kind. It's a 553 00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:22,800 demonic looking. He has lots of teeth and fangs, big eyes, this pink fluffy body with yellow feet and hands and his head is kind of shaped like a tooth. Like it's a kind of thing that you would think just goes, at all times. It's something that you would find in like a nightmare. Can we make that the cover art for the episode? This guy? That guy? Totally. I'll send it to you. So this is Jerry and he's currently a part of our 554 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:48,800 office now next to our master's degree. Okay, so I think you have a winner. So I will go next. Go ahead. So this technically was never logged in lost and found. This was just something that was lost and claimed very promptly after the person found out it wasn't like in their pocket. Okay. So we have complimentary child care at my facility. This parent, who is the owner of this 555 00:42:48,800 --> 00:43:16,800 item, he has a lot of complimentary child care at my facility. This parent walks in and drops off his children. And I think he sets this item down where they sign in and he leaves and my staff, I find all of this out very after the fact and I have coached them on what to do differently. But he left a sort of pen that you inhale from. 556 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:45,800 Yeah, we got to. And so the staff sees it and pockets it. And it's like, I know exactly what this is. And I know exactly who left it here. So I'm going to pocket it and see if this guy fesses up to be like, hey, I left my weed pen in here. Do you find it? So a couple days go by and my way. Yeah. And my staff sees him again at the facility and goes, Hey, have you lost anything recently? 557 00:43:46,800 --> 00:44:15,800 And he's like, what are you talking about? And this is okay. Let's let's put in perspective. This is like a 40 year old male talking to a 20 year old female. And I'm like the cojones on her, dude. You missing anything? And he goes, what do you mean? And she goes, I think you might have left something while dropping off your kids in the childcare area. And he's like, I don't know what you're talking about. And she finally fesses up and like pulls it out of her pocket, which every single day. 558 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:44,800 Which every single shift it is in her pocket. Oh my God. That's not good. She could, I know, I know, she could get fired. I know. And she like slightly like pulls it out of her pocket and was like this. And he goes, Oh my God, that's where it was. And he tells this young woman, Oh, well, did you take any hits off of it? And she's like, no, but like, I didn't tell anyone you can have it back. And he goes, honestly, like, no, you can keep it if you want it. 559 00:44:44,800 --> 00:45:09,200 Like, I don't really like need it. He probably has another one. I don't know. I would have totally made a joke. I'd be like, I meant to drop that off another kid. So yeah, like end of the story, he gets his weed pen back. She's like, no, I really don't want it. Like, here you go. Oh my God. I think he tipped her like for giving it back. But technically was never lost and found. Well, you know, I know what his is, and it fits perfectly with that. Oh, my God. Okay, batter up, Mike. So just a little bit of a 560 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:30,320 backstory is I kind of heard about this. When did you tell me that yesterday this was going to happen or two days ago? Two days ago. So I ran. I got super excited. So bear in mind my supervisor because she's amazing. She does a wonderful job. She runs a crazy department in housekeeping and she doesn't speak a very 561 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:59,520 good English. So I asked her for awesome found because apparently she does speak some form or does understand English. Okay, come back to my office and I got about 5000 items sitting in my office. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I asked my front desk supervisor I was like, why is this all my office? And he's like, didn't you ask for all lost and found? No, I didn't. But I guess it works. And we don't throw away ours. Stuff was back from 2022. Oh, God. So final runners up was a plenty of bedpan prosthetic leg. 562 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:29,800 Clothes galore. So I had had my had my pick chargers chargers. Everything could possibly. Yeah, usually just one junk. Yeah. Or the case. Just a case. It was going to do the prosthetic leg. I thought that was interesting. How do you leave without your leg? I thought that what like you have a backup like with you? You popple out and miss it. But what one? Law and order style. We got a drug phone, a phone labeled. 563 00:46:30,320 --> 00:47:00,320 Drug phone. All right, guys, we're looking at two phones side by side. Both have labels on them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like from a label maker. Yeah. And one is cracked and one is not shockingly the one that is not cracked says drug phone. Do you think this was a dealer? Possibly. And then one that is cracked says coppers. What does that mean? Like copper? The cop? I don't know. The phone he calls cops on? Have you seen this? Yeah. The solid 564 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:19,760 police stations bought off for many years. That's insane. They were rubber banded together. That's funny. Maybe he's a CI or something. A drug addict. That's a snitch. So one phone that the drug dealers contact him on and another one that he talks to or the police through. And then that way you don't confuse and accidentally 565 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:49,760 dial the wrong person or send the wrong text message. But it's interesting that the drug phone is not cracked and the phone that is cracked is the one you call the cops on. Who knows what went down? Yeah. And I have these so. And I love how the label is on the screen. I thought that that was the I was like, okay, there's some crazy story behind this. That's hilarious. I'm sorry, I have to ask. Were you tempted to like plug it in and like charge it? No, I don't want nothing to do with that. Pretty sure they're like purchased cops. 566 00:47:49,760 --> 00:48:19,680 And be like, how'd you get this number? Oh, God. It's just for a story. Oh, my gosh. It's just for a podcast, I promise. Any who's. On that note, guys, I think this is a good time to wrap up. Mike, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for having me. This was so much fun. You have to come back. I need to the next one. Yeah, I know. I'm always I'm always super psyched to do it. Okay, good. We'll give you another homework assignment for next time, too, because you definitely won this one. Well, we'll text you a homework assignment. Well, please text me before. 567 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:49,760 Two days before and I will probably not have all lost and found. I was happy to know that we do have several years of lost and found still left of all junk. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. I love that. Well, it's a little bit more notice now that my housekeeping supervisors on board. I'll be able to participate. Okay. Oh, my God. Maybe we should make this a weekly segment. No, maybe quarterly. Okay. Yeah, we would fit. One of our quarterly goals because, you know, we purge every 90 days and your incentive. That makes sense. Wine. So and. 568 00:48:49,760 --> 00:49:13,520 Straws. So when or lose, we win. Yes. And shots. Love it. Miss B. Thank you for being here as always. Thank you for having me guys. It's so much fun. Bill. Thank you for being our fabulous host and always. Amazingly. Oh, you're welcome. And big shout out. And thank you to our listener and number one fan for all of our fun goodies. Yeah, fun goodies. Love it. 569 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:30,040 Draws and booze. Daws. It's really all I need in life. It's like 900 straws for Halloween. Oh, yeah. That's a typical hotelier being like something small like, oh, my God, this is amazing. Very, very typical hospitality. People being so gracious for anything. 570 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:45,120 I know. Leftover banquet food. Amazing. Hey, careful. Banquet food is bomb. All right. It is. It is. It's always good.
