BONUS: The One Thing Modern Hotels Need To Bring Back

0:00Gary and Tommy's bonus puff dives! I don't know which little issue to bring up first. They're not even issues, they're observations from my weekend away last weekend and staying in a hotel firstly. Have you ever had your Uber Eats delivered to you via walking? Yes. Oh, have you? Yes, once. But it shows that they're riding. It shows that they're riding. I've also had one that was on a razor scooter and it was like six kilometers. And they get the same thing. It showed it was on a bike. And he got there and he was literally, it took 40 minutes and he was covered in sweat. He was just like, I feel like giving him the food because I'm like, bro, you are depleted. Well, because we watched, we ordered room service now. I don't think hotels want you to order room service because when you go on it says minimum weights an hour and a half. Do you want to lock in at a time? And I'm like, we just wanted like now or soon. So we ordered Uber Eats and we ordered hungry jacks.

1:01And we were waiting. I was watching my wapper as it went around the streets and I, because we were staying near a shopping center, I think they just got it from inside the shopping center not from a hungry jacks somewhere because we could see him sort of almost looked here with shop, like he was shopping, obviously. But then I was like, how's he on a bike? And then I was like, why is he taking so long? And we watched the route. And then a couple of times he doubled back. And anyway, 45 minutes later this guy arrived up the hill puffing. And I was like, where's his bike? And then I said to Evie, my daughter, I think he walked here. The food was so cold. And I was like, why are we doing this? Why do we, I know we're lazy, but why do we keep doing this? You know the trap that we've also fallen for is using priority. It's never priority. I got priority the other night. And the dude literally stopped in a street for 15 minutes. Like I could see his car not moving. So the point where I messaged and said, are you broken down? You'd be such an ass though. I took my food and I was like, thank you very much.

2:02Have a nice night. And you're all ready to nag him. Anyway, that was the first issue that I just thought was peculiar. So your laziness was the first one? Well, I did think, because then I saw how far he had to walk, which was about 300 metres high. I could have just walked and got the food. But you were on holiday. Well, okay, so I was on holiday. So the other amazing thing, other than eating in bed, when you're a holiday that you look forward to, because if room service is not really a thing that they want you to do anymore and they want you to go down to their restaurants, that's one thing removed from my experience that I love. I love room service in bed. But I just don't, like even in the morning when we went to get breakfast, it was a long delay if you wanted to get breakfast. It was like a 50 minute wait. And I'm like, surely when people ring to get breakfast, they kind of want breakfast. Yeah, I certainly don't plan ahead. No, no one does at a hotel, because you plan and goes out the window and you just, you know, tell them. You know why I like room service? Because it's plain food that on the ground. Like it often comes with a mini, sometimes a mini tomato sauce, which I really like. And a little pop.

3:02And a little thing. And I even like, even though you know what's under there, when the, the cauching comes on top, I always said to myself, ooh, what have we got here? But I know what it is. But have you noticed, you would stay in hotels all the time. All the time. Have you noticed something that you can no longer watch movies in hotel rooms anymore? So it's the third hotel I've noticed this at. That they no longer have movies. There's a selection on their TV. Really? I feel like they've all got, it's not Fox tell, but a version of that where there is like all the sports channels, versions of. So you can watch free to air or you Chromecast, right? Yes. But now what's happening? So I had all this trouble, Chromecasting, because I don't know. No way. You carry. Chromecasting. But I thought I'd nailed it. And then I called the guy and asked him to come up and help me. And he goes, oh, you're trying to Chromecast. I see, and he goes Netflix has stopped you Chromecasting. Stan's has stopped you Chromecasting. I think it's Disney plus has stopped you Chromecasting. So you can't Chromecast. So then we couldn't watch anything that we had on the screen, but there was nothing to watch.

4:02So we were watching flicking through free to air. I think we watched. What's that big bang theory? Oh, I always got an SBS food. TV with me though. I don't reckon she'd love Adam Lee Owl. Well, we went past the soccer. And then she was like, oh, that's the men's soccer boring. And I was like, yeah, the girls. And then we ended up watching six episodes of the big bang theory, eating our cold, uber eats. And I was like, this is not how the hotel experience used to be. You know, just one thing about that. You know how you said, like, we ended up watching the big bang theory. Like it's something that's, you know, so far removed. Isn't the show that you watch all the time with your girls? When you can watch whatever you want. Yeah, children. Yeah, but it's different to big bang. Big bang's got a bit more like sexual innuendos. A does it. And I just, I don't think it's appropriate. And your girls have watched math, son. You used to innuendos. I don't want them to laugh. I don't want them to laugh.
