Ep. 125 - JON TAFFER EXPOSES BAR RESCUE!! 

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.

Can you put the camera on him.

Jon Taffer is a national treasure.

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

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.

Taffer is not an a**hole, people are idiots.

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

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

If you’re looking to see how real bar rescue is, it starts at 23:38

The camera should be on the person talking

His stance on tips really goes to show you the kind of great man he is. God bless you Jon

John Taffer is amazing man..👌

The camera work must have been an accident… right? I had to fast forward to when Jon was back on camera.

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!

Idk why but when he said “that wall sucks it’s blue” made me laugh 😂😂

Bar rescue is the best show in tv..👌

for christ sake put the camera on your guest

If someone is talking, the camera should be on them not on people watching him talk. Only complaint.

He Is A Business Idea Genius

23:00 < -- For Bar Rescue However, the entire thing is great so give it a listen/watch!

Here is to Taffers coming to Canada. Jon Taffer is A-1. Watch Bar Rescue all the time.

I don’t drink too often, I love John Taffer, and he has convinced me to get some!

sure, sure - great interview, Jon Taffer is the man!

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!

What a crazy way of saying “yes, it’s legit”. Makes it seem so much more believable.

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

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 😂😂😂

Beautiful! I love Jon Taffer

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

TikTok brought me here from the clip on TikTok. Great podcast, great interview!

Camera man...wtf you doing?

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

Love this man

I love Bar Rescue, JT is the best.

Camerawork was atrocious. I guess this is why it's a podcast instead of a live show.

You can learn so much from Jon Taffer. Great interview guys.

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

Yes. Put that on the label. Campfire. "It's freaking delicious!"

Love the pods keep it up please 🙏

As a Las Vegas born and raised local glad to have found your show

Such an authentic interview great questions 👏 30:00 maybe no apple text watches........😊

Taffer is even cooler than I suspected.

Maybe when he is talking about bar rescue pan it to him

You guys did a great job on this interview

Lol why is the camera NOT on people when they are talking

all those episodes where they walk in the kitchen and the mold is insane, mold is not good to breathe(of course) so after 240 bars recued, i'm just wondering if jon ever got sick?

I need to see a podcast with John Taffer and Joey Diaz together

You can apply the lessons from Jon to any business including retail management

If you’re looking for how real bar rescue is it’s 23:17

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

Keep Jon on the camera what the heck guys

This guy has the best discipline

The camera 🎥 man was probably drinking too much. Focus on Jon! We need to see his face, while he’s telling a story! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂

Why is the audio so cluttered

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

One thing about Jon... Be real with him, he'll be real with you and give you the tools for success ( Bar Rescue was here recently and did an AMAZING transformation on one of our local hangouts). Be a fake, forget it... he's GONE!

Seems like alot of people had trouble focusing on Jon lol. Maybe its just me but when he talked, Jon was the one I was looking at when he talked.

Love you jon❤

That mullet is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

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.

Why am I watching these guys just catching flies for 5 minutes while Jon's being interesting?

Live betting is around already

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.

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

Not sure why when Taffer is talking, the camera is fixed on the cohosts?

Microphone thumping kept happening. Yall need to use wearable mics or put the mics on tripods. Every time you hit the table it's like I’m sitting next to a 808 drum. Some one should of caught this, do you all monitor the audio in real time?

Sportsbet has offered next play betting since I joined ages ago

Can someone tell me which season and episode is the one where the bar owner in USA puts the blame on the Euro in Greece, cause that shits wild.

Blonde man finna catch flies with how long his mouth open

I love Jon taffer

He has some really wise ideas ..no nonsense

Im pretty sure betting is already there with live bets

I love taffer

i would def pay closer attention to the mix on your vocals on future podcasts. sometimes your vocals are super super quiet and then get REALLY loud. great interview otherwise - just wanted to point that out :)

I thought new york had a huge night club scene Bigger than the bar acene and i thought the night club scene in new york was almost as big as it is in miami not as big as miami but a little smaller or is that just new york city?? I gew up in miami and i live there part time still i have a house on miami beach and i live there durinng the winter months and live in vancouver wa during the summer months portland oregon is right across the bridge from vancouver WA i like to say i live on the normal side of the bridge because over in portland they say keep portland weird lmfao.

Dude next to Jon and one of the other dudes look and sound geeked on nose candy

I love Jon but did you really have to do that to the Pirate Bar?

Men in my fantasy world I would've to see Jonh and Ramsey one takes care of the bar and the other the kitchen helping millions dollars bar and restaurants straggling 😮

No offense, whoever did the camera work needs to learn how to use a camera or edit videos

Craaaazy move not having the camera on him the entire time he was talking about Bar Rescue. Did you guys think your facial expressions were more enjoyable than watching him speak? Wild.

Need better camera work. Get a table instead of the desk

whoever controls your cameras should be fired......taffer talking for 5 mins at a time and camera isnt even on him

"IM GOIN IN !!!" _nick

So you'll never find Taffer's Whisky in Canada, that I know of anyway.

And now the nfl and sunday ticket is getting sued. And the whole tipping thing, tipping should only be for like good service and what not. I firmly believe that restaurants and bars should pay their employees a proper, living wage.

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.

Jeff nods his head more than any other personality ok TV....

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.

I’m all for tipping high for great service. I’m not tipping high for bad service. To me this should be performance based. A lot of servers are entitled now post “the rona“ unfortunately.

he needs to start with how do the bars get on the show, how do they get the info from the bar, how they first communicate and all the damn cameras in the bar but the employees still do dumb shit even though they know they on camera. all he did is explain the show, we know all that shit.

Thom Matthews you are a treasure to us F13 fans!

i find it hard to believe they remodel an entire bar in one day. plus they need god knows what in repairs and replacement kitchen shit. nah son

If the guest is speaking, do not keep the camera locked on you two bozos with blank stares for 5 minutes. Do better

There’s prolong points where you have the camera on not the person talking for several minutes. Bizarre. I don’t want to watch two dudes shake their heads and say “huh.. yeah….. right.. got it.”

Why is the camera on u guys all the time. Listen we are here to see him you people. Are nobodies. We dnt care about u people. Only jon

Las Vegas has the best nightclubs in the world..? LOL... You guys need to travel outside the USA. Start with Ibiza. Then London, Berlin, etc.

You need to fire your camera guy. John talking and the camera on you guys for minutes while John talks. 6 and a half minutes lol. I love this podcast my brethren just pointing it out. Love yall.

Taffer going to work selling his alcohol

John, put the fucking drink down.

PAN LEFT BUD!!!
