Fun Fact: When I was younger I spent about a bit under $50 on tottery tickets do to the fact that my family also bought them but I stopped buying them after I won $50 for the 3rd time. So I have spent under $50 on lottery tickets and have won over $150 on lottery tickets and if I never buy them again I can say that I have won over 3 times what I spent on them. I have not bought a lottery ticket for 14 years.

"Never kill the golden goose." Is a lesson that stuck with me from KotH. As it is simple, but important. When it comes to a consumer business, when you get a golden goose, a reliable employee that is great with customers and hard working. The kind of employee customers know by name, you do what ever is in your power to keep them. As they become part of your business reputation. This lesson also showed despite all the drunken debauchery, Strickland is a legit businessman. He recognized a red line was crossed, and *immediately* rectified it.

Thing about Khan that I noticed is that he gets hyper focused on one thing. And going to stretch this but this could be a mid life crisis episode. It's why the quick rich scheme and the cut corners like getting a lottery ticket. He wants a life style that he thinks he deserves and once he gets a taste he doesn't want to listen to anyone with sound advice til it bites him. Also like this episode because its one of the few times we get to see Strickland standing up for Hank and gives the lesson. It homes when Hank quit. And actually sold the shares and give what Hank wants to have him come back. I actually liked that. Show how he value Hank

Most of these people could do almost every job at the place too, but I could also run the recycling part of the factory that almost made up the loss of every other cell. My best four days I made enough to pay my wage with benefits for a year. My new job is awesome. I'm putting in about a fourth of the energy and producing more, everyone gets along, HR stops drama immediately, they ask us what we need to be more successful in our work, they won't make us work more than 60 hours which could be a positive or negative depending on how you look at it.

He specifically uses an example of a person turning a piece of land into a chicken farm (sounds kind of silly, but bear with me) and the owner decides each chicken is worth $30 dollars. In a capitalistic situation, as he states, the owner is allowed to do this, but capitalism also allows the potential buyers to accept or reject this offer. In the case of Hank in this episode, capitalism basically allows Buck to do what he did with Hank, but Hank is allowed to decide the value of his labor.

[@bluebird1914]

With that part about treating employees well, I think it's also worth mentioning the other reason as to why. While there's the fact that yeah, if you treat them well they'll stick around, another important fact is that employee relations can impact your business even more than customer relations. You have to be very careful with how you treat your employees, because word spreads fast if you so much as think about being rude to one. I had a boss once who had a reputation for losing his cool with employees and yelling at them. Something which he did in the first month he owned the place. Despite it only being a month, and him drastically backpedaling those actions, he struggled to find any new staff to work for him for the next two years.

Although i will admit that one of the only things about this episode that bugged me was that Kahn got the dumb idea to buy out the carwash because of those dumb "how to get rich quick" videos, i can't believe anyone would actually listen to and or believe in any of the nonesense that they say in those videos.

I mean, if doing evil and reckles things often then that is not really out of character, right? This was a good episode and I love to see Hank actually standing his ground against an unfair situation.

[@balanc-joy9187]

From what I've seen of his content so far, Shady has a bit too strong/strict an expectation of consistency and realism in fictional shows. Not to say he doesn't make good points, but some of the moments I disagree with him have been when he seems to just assume something _has_ to have a straightforward and clear conclusion (and I mean something that is up to his standard of it, or is in your face explicit in what it is doing) or _has_ to have some sort of development or change, when that isn't always necessary to a show and can sometimes work against it. It is nice to see Hank stand up for himself. I almost get the sense he fully expected Buck to back him up, since the way he says "If you say so sir" makes me feel like he was saying "Ball's in your court sir, what are you going to do about it?", and he was just quitting the car wash as a message to Buck.

[@juanfisi]

@@balanc-joy9187 I disagree, his expectations are not a problem. Even if I disagree with him some times I don't think there is anything wrong with his reasoning.

I like how the episode about working easy began with you explaining that you were doing a KOTH review so you could start Q4 by working easy

[@bretttillotson4852]

I think Khan's erratic behavior would later make sense as a symptom of his manic depression that we see way later at the end of the series. Sure he's medicated which keeps him balanced, but i wouldn't be surprised if it causes some levels of impulsivity and manic recklessness.

[@Stanley.77]

*YES!!* Seeing a K.O.T.H. video by Shady Doorags in my notifications always, always, *always,* makes my day! Thank you, sir!

[@jtilton5]

1:00 hi I just wamt to point out something that happens in a later season. As you said, most of the time. Khan is a normal man with his own faults, but sometimes his "Khaness" gets turned up to 11. It may be because of "Flanderization" by the writers. But, in a later episode it's revealed that Khan suffers from Manic Depression, more commonly know as a bipolar disorder. So this story could easily fit into the idea that he is having a minor manic episode and that is why he is acting so recklessly in trying to "get rick quick"

[@Shiirow]

the carwash thing, from the looks of it you had people washing their cars before going "cruising", which I can say in very small towns and cities there are places where cruising is something people did on the weekends. You would literally pile into a friends car to cruise up and down the main street trying to hook up. I went cruising quite a few times in High School.

[@tylerorr6481]

The car wash thing is totally legit. Me and my buddy used to meet at this shitty little car wash and spend like and hour or so washing our cars then go get coffee.

[@devdoesitbest6974]

I actually laughed at the carwash thing not only do we meet at carwashes for car guy stuff (like a mini car meet) but we also started doing a D&D meet

[@KittyMonk]

Are you gonna cover the Thanksgiving episode where Peggy steals the turkey? I think that episode could’ve worked if they focused more on Hank’s belief that if Bobby takes home ec, he wouldn’t wanna get married.

[@jackpearce367]

Yeah. It’s kinda concerning that Peggy got that jealous of her own son. Not out of character just concerning

Yeah that's another good episode that shows Peggy being more in the wrong. It also shows Hank being more open minded. He starts out being against Bobby doing Home ec, but then realizes how good Bobby gets and even encourages him to keep doing it.

They aren’t getting together to wash the cars they are just going cruising. Which is just driving around enjoying the ride and showing off your car. They might run the cars through the wash so they look better but it’s mostly just driving to enjoy the drive. Something that was common before bad politics hit us as the pump.

[@Shiirow]

Kahn can be overly Kahndescending.

[@The-Rguy]

You raise a good point maybe Hank could start a business if he had someone who understands the business world as a partner. So it would be like his partner runs the business side of the Venture while Hank works as the public face. So one covers all the business aspects while the other handles the public and worker relations. That's something I would do I'm looking till one day on my own business and if I can find someone who knows business I can be the face of it since I've worked the 9:00 to 5:00 the majority of my adult and Teenage life under various kinds of bosses

You could also do the episode where Bobby shadows Buck. But I’d love to see you do the one where Luanne worked on a golf course and was harassed by the customers for the discussion on how professional misconduct is handled and the Margaret Lovatt jokes.

[@christianjohnson5379]

@@giancarlocaballero7684 doesn't matter if one becomes corrupt from capital or worker exploitation, the point of capitalism is having the freedom to do what do you want with the assets and resources you have. Under a socialist society you have no freedom, all of your labor, all of the results of one's work, and all of the means of production belongs to the state. We'll take capitalism over THAT any day.

Nobody I know gets together with friends to wash their cars, but I do know two things that make me confident it's something that really happens. 1) If you want to keep your car from rusting out before its time, especially if you live in places like Iowa or Minnesota where we salt the roads in the winter, or someplace dry and dusty, like Oklahoma or TEXAS, you'll want to wash your car at least every other week. 2) In a community like Arlen, people will find ANY excuse to go hang out with old friends. In my local SAL, we take half an hour before the meeting to shoot the breeze and drink, 30-45 minutes for the actual meeting, and another few minutes of shooting the breeze and drinking before we go home.

4:42 I'm from Texas and I grew up in a semi-rural area in the 90s like in this show. Yes, they do actually, or at least they used to. When I was a kid, my dad would actually take me to these big fancy car wash places whenever he had to take care of me alone, and it was just like the one Hank and the guys go to in this scene. In fact one of my friends from HS once posted a few pictures of her childhood one time and some of them were also at a car wash lot, so I can say with confidence that this was a thing that people probably did, at least back in the 90s. Remember, this was all way before we had things like the internet to keep us all connected and busy 24/7. Back then, going to the gym, mall, library, or to these car wash places was for entertainment, not out of necessity. I don't know how it's like these days, I can imagine it's probably had a decrease in popularity like how malls or libraries have, but I can definitely see these places being used as weekly hangouts for some people.
