I went to a steam room today.

**Matt McCusker** (2:31)
Did you really?

**Theo Von** (2:32)
Yeah.

**Matt McCusker** (2:32)
Just steam, it wasn't anything else?

**Theo Von** (2:34)
Yeah, have you been in there?

**Matt McCusker** (2:35)
Have you been in that? Is it like a just a steam room or attached to a gym?

**Theo Von** (2:40)
Oh no, it's attached to the gym. It's like in the bathroom or whatever. There it's on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a room of steam. It's intense.

**Matt McCusker** (2:45)
It's intense. I thought you said you went to a specific place called the steam room, like it was a new thing that's just a steam. You walk in, it's just steamy as hell.

**Theo Von** (2:53)
I wonder if there would ever, I wonder if that'd be a good business if you had another business that also at the same time was a steam room. That's what I'm saying.

**Matt McCusker** (3:02)
Get your hair cut and just sweat.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:03)
Yeah, that would be tough though.

**Theo Von** (3:07)
Or like a radio shack, you know?

**Matt McCusker** (3:09)
Oh, that'd be nice.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:10)
And they're trying to look at batteries.

**Matt McCusker** (3:11)
They could have stayed in business if they just cranked up the steam.

**Theo Von** (3:15)
Well, radio shack, it was almost like where you almost just go there to ask the guy a question and then you would leave. It became that place after a while.

**Matt McCusker** (3:22)
It did. Once the internet came out, you'd be like, yo, what kind of battery are you going to use for this? You'd be like, I got it right on. Get it on Amazon and be like, right nice.

**Theo Von** (3:28)
You'd even buy it in front of them.

**Matt McCusker** (3:31)
Yeah, that's what Best Buy kind of is too. And they don't know shit at Best Buy. What kind of camera do I have? They're like, ugh.
I'll ask a couple of times when I went to Best Buy to ask about like cords and shit. They're just like, I don't really know, man. I'm like, all right, dude, what the fuck? What's the point of this place? Yeah, it's kind of bullshit.

**Theo Von** (3:48)
Yeah, they don't know and then they'll walk over to another guy. That's the craziest thing. Let me ask my, and they'll be like a co-worker or whatever. And then they'll go over there and then the people will just start laughing or the guy will slip a guy's joint and then they'll just walk out of the place.

**Matt McCusker** (4:02)
You're like, it is so it's sad, man. Last time I went to Best Buy, it was just two dudes. One guy was struggling at a cash register. He didn't even have like the uniform on. And then two other guys were just talking and it was like 10 minutes of people just watching this guy struggle. And I was like, you guys, can you guys come help? And they're like, yeah, man, I guess. I walked over and I'm like, all right, well, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, customer service dipped during COVID. It's over now.
