Einstein Couldn't Fix a Dryer Either

19:07Jon McLaughlin:I think it depends on how many people you know personally at the party. If you're over 40%, you've got to say goodbye. I like that. If you only know, if you came because you're really good friends with the host, but you don't know anybody else, you can totally leave without saying goodbye. Wow, I'd maybe go the opposite. Okay, respect. I hear that. Because here's the thing. You don't owe people that you don't know a goodbye because they'd be like, oh, I didn't even know. You didn't say hello first. I don't even know who you are. That looked like a guy from Dadville. Right? But the host, the only reason why you maybe wouldn't have to say goodbye to them because it's like they got a lot on their plate.

19:47Jon McLaughlin:They got a lot on their plate. They're hosting. Let me take something off. I know them. We'll talk tomorrow. Yeah. I'm going to get out of here. Also, saying goodbye, that could be you you sometimes have to plan that 45 minutes ahead of time yeah yeah what are your thoughts on that you would go the opposite you said well i just i'm okay slipping out the older i get i'm okay to just not say goodbye ever and just kind of because i just don't think people care i really don't i don't think anybody's like dave and annie didn't say goodbye but see it It depends. Obviously, like if it's a small, if it's, you know, eight people.

20:23Right.

20:25Jon McLaughlin:But I think it's like a double date. You should probably say goodbye. Or if it's a date with me and Annie, I should probably at some point close. But like if you and I and Amy and Annie were over at our friend Jeremy Bloom's and the house is is packed. No, he doesn't care. But I'm like, you're going. I don't. I'm not going to care if you leave without saying goodbye to me. because I'm like, we live feet apart from each other. I'll see Dave. I wouldn't even think about it. But if I haven't seen you in forever, let's say I'm our buddy, Micah Dalton. I'm in town from Atlanta. I'm at Jeremy's party.

21:04Jon McLaughlin:Then it's like, well, I don't know if I might not see Dave for another year. Yeah, that makes sense. This is already taking too long, by the way. I know. When someone shows you a picture on their phone, can you swipe? I love this. I think no. I think no, but I live yes. I did this this week, so I was like, oh. And I was like, I'm sorry, I have to. One, because he was like, oh, there's a few pictures. Well, if you're giving a warning. Yeah, but I was like, you can't. What else is in there? No, I think the only time that it is maybe acceptable to do a swipe unsupervised is if someone's like, hey, check out this home renovation that we just did.

21:47Jon McLaughlin:And you know that there's not just one picture. Yeah, there's a lot. There's going to be a lot. What if there was one? But even then, it's like, I don't know if I'm swiping right or swiping left. I might get into... That's the adventure. As Stephen Curtis Chavin sang about infamously years ago, that is the great adventure. That's what that was about. Do you know what I think you're... Do you know what I think the risk is now that you're going to see what people are... it's gonna be pictures of like moles and rashes yeah you know you're not you know you're not gonna see some photo that some guys got you're like whoa bro it's gonna be like oh god that's a lot of skin you're like it's that's a picture for my doctor on your torso yeah yeah that's that's for my doctor and chat gpt and me that's it so many people ages eye photos are full of just like hey chat what is this okay chat what has this always been all right i'm gonna go real quick oh If someone's telling a story that you've heard before, are you required to tell them that you've heard it?

22:45I think it, I, yes, because I do that. I, I'm afflicted with not remembering who I've said what to. And so I tell people, I'm like, hey, if I've said, and every now and then, like, my good friends will be like, oh, yeah, you told me that. Great. But I will do that to people like, oh, yeah, you told me that. Because I'm like, listen, man, I don't know how many days I have left in my life. I don't know. In the next seven minutes.

23:03Jon McLaughlin:There's a window of time where you can do that casually and it's totally fine. It's right at the beginning and you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that. But one time I told a story to a friend of ours and it was like on a car trip. It was just the two of us. It's a long story. And 75 % of the way through, I was like, it hit me. I was like, wait a minute. Dude, I've told you this story. And he's like, yeah, you have. He's in the story. Well, in that moment, I was like, I'm a little bit, I know he was being nice. You wanted him to. But I'm like, dude. Yeah, yeah. Just stop me. You made me look like an idiot.

23:42Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah. And he would say, no, that was you. Because you already told me. It was actually Brandon Heath.

23:49Jon McLaughlin:Shout out to Brandon for sitting through that story. Give me your eyes. Okay. Is it rude to correct someone's pronunciation or if they say a word wrong?

24:00Jon McLaughlin:I think he kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Root's a strong word. I can't help it. I think I like words enough that when somebody says something wrong, I'm like, I just, because it's like, so to your point, watch me do this. Let's say you and I are at this caramel horn.

24:21Let's end. It's too good. I think we have to end the episode there. That's a perfect button. That's what we call a callback, folks. That's a callback. but but i i think it is actually in the same way that you would say someone needs to tell you you've told that story i would say you're not caring for someone well if they say

24:38Jon McLaughlin:something so wrong yeah and it depends on how egregious there you go yeah yeah but and if they're if you know that they're about to go into a setting where they're going to use that word they're going to redo it there you're you're kind of a proof of concept conversation for later yeah you're like listen man don't no don't do it because you're kind of doing the same thing with the story because you can feel someone like hey i gotta tell you the story and you're like it's like someone who's about to walk out on the tonight show stage and they have a booger in their nose you know i have to tell you this is uncomfortable but you have okay can we move into another subject are you okay with that yep let's go texting and phones is sending a five minute voice memo acceptable?

25:26Jon McLaughlin:This is kind of like my response is how your response was with the swiping. I don't know if it's acceptable, but I'm going to do it. Oh my gosh, am I going to do it? I just feel like I can express what I'm feeling so much better in a voice memo. I do think it's a little lazy because I'm like, I don't want to take the time and energy to be concise. So yeah, I'm going to send it. here is one Apple's new phone update you can speed through voice memos now which is revolutionary you can go two times like I just noticed that this morning did you two times me this morning and that is not you but a dear friend two timer classic two timer second thing I send you know there are things that I really am proponents of God's love for us how great my family is music great music yeah I love a kindness kindness mercy the hope that we have a gospel voice memos yeah I went in reverse order yeah that's well just cuz you know I don't want people to judge me I have tried to I've tried and converted so many people to voice memos like I remember being an early adopter and just like I'm gonna do this no matter what people think and so many people like dude I can't tell you the amount of times that I've heard the phrase on a voice and man, I don't really do this much, but I know you're doing it.

26:49And then people are like, why have I never done this? But I will tell you, I have a few friends that we will send. I've gotten a 12-minute voice memo from someone. I've gotten an eight-minute. I've sent. That's another level. That's a podcast.

27:04Jon McLaughlin:Someone just sent you a podcast. Which is how I listen to them. I get excited because I'm like, I'm going to go pick Ben up. Oh, I'll just hit, you know, John said that one. That'll be what I listen to when we wait a day. Yeah, yeah. You know, so I don't. so I'm a little weird that way because I actually really enjoy those but I know not everybody does so you know it's it's they never bother me I like I wonder too if Nashville because it's a creative community of really expressive extroverted people if it's more of a thing in Nashville than other cities like people maybe listen to me like I've never sent one of those in my life but I'm telling you try it because I do believe most people that try it go oh gosh this is so much better than texting yeah totally and now you can two times that mother and i mean eventually we're we're going to get to the point where we're like voice texting at the same time in real time and we call that a phone call i don't know we're not ready for it yeah but i don't know that phones can do all right i'm going to hit you with one hit me with one is it rude to text someone after 10 p.m this was my next one can i add can i add an addendum before 7 a.m uh yeah yeah same same rule I have a pretty black and white rule on this.

28:16Jon McLaughlin:Okay, come on. The answer is no. You can text someone at any time. I love that. I love that. Because if you text me at midnight and it wakes me up, I think that's on me. Yeah, that's fair. I should have put my phone on silent. Yeah. That's on me. I think the thing that scares me, at 10 p.m., I'm not awake. So, I mean, you're not going to text me at 11, unless I'm on the road, or I'm making some really bad decisions that you should pick up. you should text me and call me because i need to come pick you up we need to have a hard conversation of retold stories i think i am more at the age i am i because you know and i mean you're you're doing this more than i am but like i'm up in the morning you know either running or i'm up i'm lifting i don't know if we've talked about me sure lifting now you can see it now oh yeah i'm taking creatine john i don't care anymore that's where i am in my life i'll cut i put the creatine powder are on the weights and you sort of shoot them you kind of throw them in yeah and then like that you're just like the way i think it like you're my Cyrus so i get more nervous because once i'm up i mean nobody would be surprised to hear this about me my brain is fully engaged and fully going i need no warm-up time i am at full throttle at two minutes one minute into being awake so especially if i'm going to run my brain's really gone and i'll be like oh i need to text and then I need to, oh, or I'm just thinking about somebody.

29:36Hey man, thinking about you this morning. But I'm like, if you get a text from me at 617, because that, are people like, bro, you got to, sir, you got to chill out. Is that too much? No.

29:46Jon McLaughlin:No? I don't think so at all. I'm glad he is. And I don't know when the feature of silencing your phone, I mean, you could always turn your phone off, but like going on Do Not Disturb, whenever that became available, I would say two years after that is when it is now okay everyone should be on board now it's like it's like when a spoiler alert is no longer it's like there's no spoiler alert for top yeah yeah yeah it's been out for like 40 years don't tell me though i don't don't i know and that's why i used that example because you gotta watch it is it still the top gun is what i want to know is it still the best gun and that's what you have to watch you have to watch i think i get more concerned with people going what is this psycho doing at 6 17 like go inside and be with your family and stop having thoughts the family's not up yet it's needed that from me john i saw this years ago and something like the 5 a.m email is the ultimate like business humble brag it's like i'm up yeah what are you guys doing sleeping i'm already productive okay can can we dive into restaurants because i have i have a really i have one that i really want to know if you're splitting the check or and someone doesn't drink should they have to pay for everyone else alcohol this is this is this affects you it does probably all the someone who drinks heavily and i'll drink for other people but the only thing you love more than alcohol is splitting checks it's a venn diagram it's the nexus of passion yeah no i'm sure you are the one at the table but this is yes i don't really drink there's like a couple of cocktails that i like but but typically i just don't drink and that's not you know i just it all tastes like horse tt to me and so i've numerous times been in you know situations where like you know like everybody's having drinks which is great and we all split some pizzas or something whatever you know and then it kind of comes down to like i mean annie and i had this conversation last week because this happened to her where she's like randomly i just didn't have a drink that night she's a huge boozer huge and uh and she was like i mean my bill was like 75 bucks because everybody there had had numerous drinks and i was like well why didn't you just tell him say i'm not telling and i was like oh that's i have zero problem being like hey guys like i didn't i mean it is so much more expensive it's half the bill a lot but you think it's okay for me to be like hey i'd rather not have to yeah i mean i think ideally you the other people should recognize hey dave and well they're too drunk that's true that's the longer the dinner goes buzzed and drunk and they I don't care.

32:19Jon McLaughlin:No, I think it's 100 % fine. You should not split that bill. Okay, that gives me. Okay, let's jump to another one. Ooh, John. Wait, wait, wait. Okay, you have one. Speaking of splitting. I'm flying. Yeah, yeah. If someone says at dinner, hey, do you want to split dessert? And you're like, I don't think so. And then they order dessert, and then you take a little bite of it. That's no. No, no, no, no, no. You can't do that. Yeah. You can't do that. Yeah. Well, that's a great question. You can't do that. The only time that that could be acceptable is if the person does get the dessert. Yeah. Okay.

32:56Jon McLaughlin:Hang on. I didn't know that this one went this deep until I started thinking about it. I was going to say, you're really belonking this. But here's the thing. If I'm like, hey, do you want to split this cheesecake? And you're like, no. That implies that I really only wanted half this cheesecake. Oh, I never thought about that. But you've got to order the whole cheesecake. so then that is fascinating what i want is just half the cheesecake so are you helping me out by taking a little bit of the part that i didn't let me ask you this and i really mean this let's say you order that you like let's say this is me and you we're on the road and you're like hey uh i really want dessert and i'm like man i think i'm good and you're like cool i'm gonna get this cheesecake and you eat half of it you're not gonna eat the rest right can i eat i now eat the rest or is that kind of like i've kind of well you got to determine am i taking a little doggy bag am i taking that home let's say you're not you're like dude i'm done now you don't invite me to eat it you just go okay i'm done because you assumed i didn't want it but now i'm realizing like god looking at it do i have to pay for it i know if you ate the whole thing

34:02Jon McLaughlin:john dave it's me dave okay i didn't know if it was you i just went with a generic name because there are a lot of days i got a haircut and i'm super ripped now you know that feeling when your kid is driving somewhere and you realize it's been 20 minutes since they were supposed to get there. Oh, yeah. Hondo P. That's 100%. You don't want to send the like, where are you text? You know, but you're definitely thinking about sending the where are you text? Obviously. Exactly. I don't want to constantly check on my kids. No. I just want to know they're okay. And that's what I like about HeyPolo. Yeah.

35:18Jon McLaughlin:Dave. Oh yeah. Hey, yeah. You know, when you find a shirt that fits just right, that's the kind of collection I like to build in my closet. That's what I like about Quintz elevated everyday pieces with premium materials. Like, you know, I was going to say it. Mongolian. I could tell, Mongolian. Or cashmere. Or cotton and premium denim. And their 100 % Mongolian cashmere starts at just$50. That's a lie. But it's true. I don't want to be accountable for a lie, John, but it's not a lie. It's the truth. You get that luxury feel without the luxury price. We aren't liars. And they have leather bags and shoes.

36:33Now available in Canada and the UK too. That's Q-U-I-N-C-E dot com slash dadhill.

36:45Jon McLaughlin:I think both people have a solid argument. I don't know. Because I obviously could be like, well, you said you didn't want it. Well, Dave, you ate the entire half of it. This cheesecake is$9. I ate$4.50 of it. Yeah. And you ate$4.50 of it. But you could be like, well, yeah, I didn't want it, but it was just sitting there. It's going to go to waste. Well, my argument is it's wasting it at that point. That's true. I know. I don't know. Your argument would be like, yeah, but I own it, and I can determine what I want to do with what I own. Exactly. And if I want to waste what I own. $4.50 of cheesecake.

37:20That's on me, my man. That's on me. Okay, let me ask you this. Yeah. What's an acceptable tip for terrible service?

37:28Jon McLaughlin:you know i will say i have never had such bad service that i was willing to go below 20 i have on numerous occasions i just my kind of rule is like it's 20 is where we start and most of the time it's where we end yep if tip if the service is amazing yeah then you go beyond that but i don't know that i've ever had well let me ask you this you waited tables at some point right technically no but i was okay i was a food runner at that's right roadhouse at texas which was the greatest job i've ever had you you save lives in the pools but so this is this what's interesting annie and i both waited tables for a few summers each yeah and i'm not saying that i'm not saying this i'm not just suddenly trying to you know big you or anything i do think if you've served it's an interesting it's an interesting dilemma because if you did a bad job as a server, you shouldn't get paid as much.

38:25And so I think what's hard for me is I'm kind of like, and I know I feel like I don't want to speak for any, but I assume she would say, cause she was an incredible waiter. I was a terrible waiter. She'd be like, if you did a bad job, like I don't deserve the money you're going to give me. So I'm not going to, and you need to learn. You can't do that. You need to do better than that. Like you did a bad job. So I'm just paying you what's appropriate to the job to give and let it be a lesson and get better and go get them, you know? And then maybe the good table to be 25%. I just think it's tricky because like, And I don't do it a lot, but if it's really, really, really bad, and I mean, I've done this, I mean, no more than 200 times, so it's not a lot, but honestly, maybe five times What is a lot?

39:03What is a lot is food and what is money. What is money? And what is money for food?

39:07Jon McLaughlin:Right. I mean, literally five or less times, so it's not like a lot. But when it's really been so egregiously bad that I'm like, there's no way you think you did a good job, and I'm not about to give you the money to say you did. Yeah. which is probably terrible. And let's define what makes a good and bad server. Because obviously I have tons of experience serving. I mean, my goodness, I've been doing it for 44 years. I just haven't served technically as a waiter in that capacity. But bad service would be you take the order, and then you don't see that table for 20 minutes, and you come back and the food's cold.

39:44I would say 90 % of it is the time. Yeah. It's like you order, and 40 minutes later they bring you the food. or they get everything wrong to such a grand scale that you're sending every plate back or they're really rude. Yeah, yeah. It's got to be, we're talking really extreme examples. But at that point, I'm like, no, man. That's not how this works. Yeah, I agree with that.

40:11Jon McLaughlin:I agree. Okay, let me ask you this. Do you tip at the front when you order a coffee? Because you order a lot of coffees. And they're like, okay, great. and they flipped the screen and all they did was you said I want a macchiato Americano Americano I do a quad shot quad shot espresso press up a little bit of steam milk Wilson of course I was gonna say but you know and they go okay flip the screen yeah you want to tip do you tip I do you do you're so nice I'm kind of I'm trying not to mmm I'm trying to tip in that scenario I'm trying to tip a little bit less. We have a mutual friend who we both love who is not from America natively.

40:53Jon McLaughlin:And he is like, guys, this is out of control. We don't do this back where he's from. He's like, no, I'm not going to tip. If they did something extra to warrant a tip in this scenario, then I'll tip. And I'm like, that's how it should be. I'm tipping out of guilt. When they swing that screen around it sometimes somehow becomes five times larger yeah they turn around the whole city everybody's looking everyone's like hey what's he gonna do and brazenly i don't tip i don't any of both and again this is maybe where we're a terrible couple but i just i can't tell you now let me say this as a business owner absolutely you put that on the screen i mean it's a genius move whoever came up with that five years ago yeah was like i mean i have zero problems out as a business owner i'm like i disagree with it intrinsically but yes you do that because 90 of the people feel guilt and shame yeah and they're gonna be like no tip and your homies are like bro we're cashing out yeah but i mean as a patron no no no i know and already the coffee sometimes i'll be with someone or there's enough people watching that i'll do it but 99 out of 100 times i don't do it yeah and i just brace for them looking at me being mad or whatever but i'm like no no this is yeah i didn't grow up that way younger generations that may be their normal you know my children have every right to tip in that scenario but i just didn't i wasn't raised like that yeah well we we didn't until whatever five six years ago that wasn't it was like you could tip a little extra you put cash in a jar yeah and it was a it was an extra thing yeah now it is it's just it's out of control it's And I mean, I would imagine waiters have to be kind of mad.

42:37They're doing, think about it this way. I've never thought about this. They're doing infinitely more work and getting paid the same as someone who's not even doing the work and getting paid. You know. Let's, waiters, rise up.

42:49Jon McLaughlin:Rise up. Now is the time. You know what? Amy and I were talking about this the other day because she went and got, I think it was her eyebrows done. She got some kind of facial eyebrow thing happening. And she was like, okay, the service is$100. And apparently that's a pretty good price. Yeah. But if that person's doing it in their garage like she was, you kind of go, okay, we're at a different level of service. And she doesn't even live there. So you got to go quick. It's really, but that's having the fun. But it's true. This person was, this is their business. They're not like an employee of some big corporation.

43:26Jon McLaughlin:This is their business. So she's like, I'm paying you$100. those eyebrow corporations that are taking over. She's not doing it. Yeah, but Amy is loyal to the mom and pop eyebrow people. But then she's expected to do a tip on top of that. And Amy's like, this doesn't make any sense. You're getting the money. Yeah. In the other situations, it's like, okay, this money is going to Cheesecake Factory corporate office. I'm going to pay you a little bit. Yeah, yeah. Because Cheesecake Factory is paying you$2 an hour or whatever. This person who just did my eyebrows, they just made$100 in 30 minutes. And now I'm getting more money.

44:03Now I'm getting more. But it doesn't, it is, if I talk, I'm not kidding. If I talk about this long enough, I'll actually start to get mad. I think just because it is, it's the great fleecing of consumers in America. It really is. Because what's happened is every industry has gone, oh, we can tip now. And it's like, look, for, again, for younger generations, maybe that's what they grew up on. That's their thing to figure out. But I'm like, growing up as a 48-year-old man in America, tipping was for a certain thing. that sort of like had a context in a very certain industry. And that was it. Maybe every now and then, like if someone parked your car, whatever you do, that whole thing too.

44:39But I mean, really it was the restaurant industry. And now literally everybody has an option tip. And I just feel like it's so unfair because it really is. Either someone did such a phenomenal job doing something that you were like, the service was met and 100 % exceeded what I expected or it was done quicker or better or maybe less costly. Like you did it quick enough that I didn't have to pay what you quoted me or whatever. And then there's a tip. Any other thing, it's literally going, I'm expecting you to feel so bad that you'll pay me more money. Wouldn't you see that?

45:13Jon McLaughlin:You know, the irony is you use car valets as an example. They're probably the ones that have taken the most hit because nobody carries cash anymore. And a lot of times now they do have Venmo, but that little exchange at the car where you get the keys and you give them a$100 bill like I always used to do. That's why every valet is doing eyebrows. I mean, if you look at the industry, you'll see it. You'll see it. Without knowing, they'll park your car. Those are two industries that used to have no overlap. They can't help it. Right. There's lashes all over the floorboards. Which was my favorite Boyz Men lyric.

45:53Okay, let's keep moving. Okay, let me ask you this. this one makes me laugh so i'm gonna try the question makes me laugh this we're all over the place john we're just gonna keep moving can you adjust the thermostat in someone else's house

46:05Jon McLaughlin:never never i don't know i don't know unless they have instructed you that you can like if you're staying at our house and you're staying upstairs yes i would i would of course say to you i'll probably say it two or three times yeah hey and and like if it's too hot up here or whatever if you know adjust the thermostat whatever you i will tell you oh no let me ask you this let me ask you this you go to stay with somebody in a town and they're like good friends here they never say that they never say hey you're staying upstairs you're the only one up there that's a big deal because the kids are up there that's kind of a conversation yeah but they're like hey take the extra room and it's 78 degrees because a couple things could be happening there they could have forgotten that it's that hot upstairs because they never go up there.

46:55Jon McLaughlin:Yeah, that's a factor. That's a factor. Also, that's too hot to sleep for me. That's way, way, way too hot to sleep. Now, I know some people that's fine with that and they're all weird people and they should be dealt with. I'm sorry. I'm going to change the thermostat. And I don't really feel, I have no feelings about this. I think I would too. Right? That's kind of what I mean. So I guess I'm going back on my original. Well, let me say this. Now, let me tell you how dark and weird my brain works. and I kind of blame this on my dad because I think he'd do the same thing and all thermostat issues stem from your father all of them and that there stems from their father can that please be the name of this episode oh my gosh that's amazing but I think listen you can just very well but I think if if I was at a party and I don't care how wrong this is if I was at a party and it's a I don't know if I do this to someone's house I didn't know but I'd be really close and it was too hot there's 50 people in there and it's showing 80 degrees i really think i would change i think i would just walk over and be like this is for the good of everybody i think i would do it yeah i think i would i i don't think i would do it but i think if you you would leave without saying goodbye at that party i would just leave i would take the thermostat you would you don't care no i think if you if you had heard from a couple other attendees at the party like that's hot in here yeah by the third person then you're like all right this is something i'm doing a service for the greater good here i guess what i'm saying is i trust i trust

48:24enough to just make this but what if just to go what if you're the only one that feels that way everybody's hot everybody's hot and then i would just turn it down oh my gosh but i would do that you know all right let me say this one of the most you know what let me do this john can we do this let's let's we've got more of these let's just do a part two let's let our next yeah we got too many so so let me unless you have another one but i will i will tell you the story maybe that's how we land this plane one of the most infuriating vacations i've ever been on annie and i went to with the kandroses to montreat for fall break like probably a decade ago it was a decade ago because sam was still in a bassinet so this was maybe even 11 years ago No, gosh, he wasn't born then.

49:07I'm not great at math, but I'm fun. Right. I'm fun. Sure. No, this would have been because he's 10. So this would have been, let's say, eight years ago. Eight or nine years ago. Because I'm saying all to say he's in a bassinet because that's a big part of the story.

49:19Jon McLaughlin:You're not talking about his dance troupe? No, no. Oh, like the... I got you. Now I've got to talk about that and put up the website. No, so Sam's in a bassinet. We're all in one room. Because basically what we learned about this house was they had HVAC in one part of the house. because you know in the black mountain i'm letting you know i've heard this story anyway thank you guys for listening we'll see in the next episode and i'm literally getting mad as i'm telling the story so in the can dressers were kind enough to go our kids are a little older we'll sleep in the other part because it wasn't super hot we're just like hey i think it'd be helpful if we had ac and they were like it was so kind of them so they're like all good you stay in the kind of the room that's got the ac so they have a nest and again we have an infant and randomly it was like a hot, it was like a really hot fall break.

50:05And so the days were fine, but you know, it was like, it was getting in hot and stuff in the house that you couldn't just leave the windows open. So we go to bed the first night, I turn it down. I get up in the middle of the night and it is, and you know, we had one of those, um, monitors, uh, in the room, not because we need it, because I was just curious about the temperature and I look and it's like 77 and I'm like, so I go out and sure enough, it is at 77. And I'm like, so i turn it down again because i'm like i think one of the kids had woken up and was like get up the guy turns it up again and i was livid yeah i would be so then he locks us out of the nest so annie because i was i was literally so angry i thought i was gonna like give this so i was like you got a call because i'm gonna i'm gonna so i think she ended up calling just being like hey we've got a baby and he's like well we just don't really need it and we're like no we do need it and we're in the house so we have the right to use your you like when you say we do you mean the people sleeping here and i think he or she whatever was trying to be diplomatic well you know we it's really not hot and people rarely and it was like you don't get to make that decision

51:12Jon McLaughlin:you have rented your home to us and i mean once you rent the home you have relinquished but it was i think we i can't any would remember i think we had like a couple more hours where it was kind of a tit for tat and finally he relinquished control but i it was i was livid yeah i would have been the same way right yeah that's too far that's too far that's too far well now you're all hot and bothered again i know now i'm gonna have to go run around and like work off all this energy or just break into andrew's shed and look at really cool tools that always calls me we got to do a part two on this we have so many more there's so many more guys thanks for listening And let's just remind you once again at the end, because we're great entrepreneurs, there are Christmas shows.

51:53Go get those Christmas tickets.

51:55Jon McLaughlin:Let's, hey, let's turn up the thermostat on Christmas this year. I even have a Christmas single that's going to be coming out soon. Dave, when? Why didn't I start with that? You took this long to tell us? I don't know when, John. I don't know when. Christmas time. We'll talk about that more when it's time. Christmas is when it'll be out. It'll be out sometime. Anyway, much love, everybody. More etiquette to come soon. In the meantime, stay dry. Don't tip as much as you need to. Stay dry. Fix stuff on your own. Turn down the thermometer if you need to. You know, just actually don't. And just, you know, don't tell that story again.

52:23Jon McLaughlin:That friend. That friend. That film.
