Ep. 125 - JON TAFFER EXPOSES BAR RESCUE!!

[@KKishaA]

I have no words for how much I appreciate Jon. Who would think a show about bars and alcohol could encourage people to be the best version of themselves? Thank you Jon.

[@cristianbeastmode]

Can you put the camera on him.

[@zaakmitchell6955]

Agreed

[@rob3223]

FEELS LIKE HES ON THE PHONE

[@danielnicholson25]

Agree I think an angle that captures all four people would be best and maybe the individual angles secondarily. Great vid tho

[@adamr9215]

The camera isn’t the problem, Taffer’s mic is. I have to turn the volume up every time he is talking, but I have to turn it down every time other people talk. It’s a horrible set up for a podcast. I can’t believe that they didn’t have a sound guy balancing the audio. Probably the lowest quality podcast I’ve heard.

[@sparticus55667]

Bruh look at their view count they can't do shit lol someone's funding dumpster fire too

[@atliszilla445]

Jon taffer is the reason why i do my chores correctly.

[@Crawfordvillagemari]

If that’s the only reason that’s creepy 😂

[@A_M_P_]

Jon Taffer is a national treasure.

[@notthatkindofdoctormatt1036]

I was at a Dominos picking up Pizza and when I paid, the machine automatically asked me about adding a tip. The cashier said, "God, I hate that thing. We are hourly/salaried workers, please don't leave a tip because I have to claim that on taxes and I'd rather not do that." Him and I started chatting about it. He said it only started when they switched to a new terminal for card transactions. It's a money grab by the company that makes the terminal. If you spend $20 at Dominos and that company takes 10%, they get $2. But if you spend $20 and add a 20% tip now it's $24 total and at 10%, they get $2.40. The company that makes the terminal wants you to tip every time because it raises their bottom line, not because it's a gratuity for service.

[@Demedich1]

And this is why you should always tip cash if you can.

[@NickDePanfilis]

Why don't they want to claim their tips on taxes? If they got paid more hourly it would be claimed on their taxes. Makes no sense.

[@PhayzinOut]

​@@NickDePanfilisBecause logic says tips shouldn't go to Uncle Sam

[@NickDePanfilis]

@@PhayzinOut And what logic is that? Tips don't go to Uncle Sam, a percentage of your income does. Nobody living on tip income are paying that much in taxes regardless, if they owe anything at all lol

[@PhayzinOut]

@@NickDePanfilis They are if they're reporting tips at the end of the night. It becomes part of their income That's why no one wants to report their tips. You think the IRS gives a fuck whether tips should be separate from their pay rate?

[@junes4856]

my three big gripes with this podcast is; 1: them not having the camera focused on the person talking (or at least having a show with all four of them), 2: the audio levels are not consistent at all. 3: you can hear a ton of background noise so it's really distracting still honestly great to hear jon talk outside of the show, great perspective and makes me like him + the show even more

[@Warrior2044]

32:33 It’s so strange to hear Jon Taffer drop the f-bomb because most of the time it’s censored.

[@vaporean_boylove.0w083]

It really does sound strange xD I kinda forgot I wasn't watching a TV network

[@Warrior2044]

[@terrywilson3066]

I rarely listen to a show for an hour John's an excellent speaker

[@adamhoffoss5768]

The audio levels are all over the place on this podcast. Put some headphones on so you can hear your levels and know when you're too close or too far from the mic and adjust accordingly. Otherwise, love Jon Taffer!

[@greecoboost]

I was thinking the same thing. Amateur hour.

[@PunkyBrat87]

I also think they should focus the camera on the person talking. Jon was talking multiple times throughout the episode and the camera was just focused on the other two guys staring at him nodding their head. First time watching this podcast so idk if this is how it tends to be or not.

[@billyjansen7690]

Nope ... just u can hear everything ... u to bored n have nothing to ... if u complaining bout volume that works .... get hobby or anything better ... u typing nothing and care cuz u just bleh .... get up go out or do anything but this

[@dshawnspjute6305]

​@billyjansen7690 just shut the hell up, he doesn't need to go get a hobby just because he stated that the videos sound levels are off. Its a fact the audio levels are weird asf in this video and they should always try to improve their videos. When you have a guest on your show you put the camera on them when they are talking. We don't want to look at them the whole time when they have guests.

My favorite bar rescue moment is when he asks people if the guys an ass and then he goes WHY ARE YOU AN ASS 😂

[@ashermorris1139]

The reason all those machines have select a tip preference even when the employee wouldnt normally receive tips is because the machine vendors for the fancy card readers as apart of the deal with the business, automatically take x% of all card transactions regardless if it’s a tip or not. The card companies are the ones forcing the tip screen to pop up

[@blueninjas1236]

So do the employees actually get the tip or not?

[@tinyky2598]

​@@blueninjas1236 yes but the card company takes a % out from the total

As Jodan Peterson would say he's a disagreeable personality. He values getting things done more than feelings. He yelled to motivate people. He does not care if you move to work or move out of the job. If you leave he will get someone else. It's all about the job, nothing about the people.

[@krisaaron5771]

@@danielstellmon5330 "It's all about the job, nothing about the people." And that's a GOOD thing! The people will always put themselves and their needs first, stroke their own egos and rationalize one failure after another while denying how much of their losses are entirely their fault.

[@cassidydickinson7974]

I think this is a great podcast. However, there were times I thought my phone was frozen because it was only on the two of you. It seemed like a person who wanted their face in there as much as possible even when they weren't commenting. I hope the show progresses and that you guys are going well. There are just a few things to work on. I wish you the best!

You guys did a great job on this interview

[@sumyunguy08]

Camera man...wtf you doing?

[@Andrew_Schaefer]

Ok - I love that you had Jon on to talk about the Bar Rescue production process, but for 5-6 minutes (24:00-30:00) straight, while Jon is talking! , you have the camera on you guys the hosts. Why? Just thought I'd say something: when the guest is talking, have a majority of the camera time on him/her.

[@Shortfirstslip]

Jon is an industry professional (both bar AND film), but he's so passionate that he occasionally loses focus and gets too far away from the mic while speaking about his craft. I'm impressed by that level of enthusiasm, it's the mark of person who cares.

[@grantjohnson952]

Jon Taffer is a funny motherfucker! He's one or those guys who's funny when he's not trying to be. Just his facial expressions and body language 😂😂😂

[@jh.5022]

Taffers mic is really low compared to the others. Turn the volume up to hear John then get blasted by the others voice

[@danielstellmon5330]

John is not good at keeping a consistent distance from the mic. He is used to a body mic and is very animated while speaking.

Made no sense to me

[@claymenefee6999]

Imagine needing that big break, getting it, and then throwing it all away.

[@jessestevens224]

The one thing that throws me off a bit and takes a bit of the authenticity of Bar Rescue, is the cameras following the staff during recon and as Jon walks in. They seem shocked that he is there and his recon team is there despite a full camera crew being there. The rebuild feels authentic, but it surprises me that these places don't act "right" just like they do when DHEC is in town.

[@Gravy_Master]

The whole thing is scripted. Real bars, fake everything else.

[@ANDYWOUNDSABRXS]

why didnt you put the camera on Jon when he speaks? Jon would call that a fail

[@BlackMaleSpirituality]

I want to tip Jon Taffer. I want to meet him one day just so I can do that.😂

[@bksduskmirror1250]

In Quebec Canada a 15% tip is added to your bar and food bill, it’s the law, you don’t have a choice to pay it. You can have shitty service, bad drinks and disgusting food, waiters with bad attitude, they don’t even care about you anymore, they know they will get their tips anyway.

[@greecoboost]

You still have to pay even if you get disgusting food? What about if you discuss the food?

[@whyisblue923taken]

I knew Canada was bad, but the governments over there make sure that you know they hate you and want you dead. In the US, they blow smoke up our butts while stealing our money.

Why is the camera not on the guest??????

[@StabbyMcStabwood]

You need a podcast rescue. All this money invested and less than 100 comments in 4 months with a guest like John Tapper. I was ready to click off the video before he even started explaining his whiskey because of how bad your audio is. $700 mics and you put them on the desktop so everyone listening can hear every time someone bumps the desk or puts their hand down. You also need to balance your audio, it sounds like you dont even have a gain limiter setup. Theres a bunch of background noise and every time someone gets too close to the mic their breath is punching me in the eardrums. Also why no tight shots on the guest when you have multiple cameras? Who wants to see this guy with a ponytail who has nothing of value to add to the conversation? If you only have 2 cameras with you do a wide shot of everyone and a tight shot of the guest. Would have at least gave you a better thumbnail ffs.
