00:00Russell Crowe and his girlfriend, Brittany, were turned away from a Japanese restaurant
00:14in Australia.
00:15Is it all you can eat?
00:16What do you think it is?
00:17Listen, Lisa knows, but you think it's because it was all you can eat and they didn't want?
00:22Russell Crowe, you take a good look at him and you're like, get out of here.
00:26Get out of here!
00:27Come on, Russell Crowe!
00:28It wasn't for that.
00:34Reasons, well, did he have no shirt on?
00:36Was he in no shoes?
00:37You're closer.
00:38He did not meet their dress code.
00:39Okay.
00:40Yeah.
00:41Their smart, casual dress code.
00:45The gladiator actor's manager, Grant Vanderberg, said the couple had gone to a restaurant called
00:51Mr. Miyagi Fusion in Melbourne, Australia.
00:54Okay, it doesn't sound like it should be the highest class place when you're referencing
00:59the karate kid.
01:00He said...
01:01Well, you know, I mean, let's not get too carried away.
01:06Can I get two with a sweep the leg roll?
01:09Oh, yeah.
01:11He said Russell went there wearing a brand new Ralph Lauren polo, having just played a game
01:16of tennis.
01:16Okay.
01:17And was for some reason turned away.
01:20He added they went to another place to eat.
01:24But Crowe can't believe he was turned away from Mr. Miyagi.
01:27Oh, Russell Crowe!
01:29Hello!
01:30I'm fortunate.
01:31We can't let you in!
01:33Look at your shirt!
01:34Appropriately?
01:34Yeah, yeah.
01:36No, no!
01:37We cannot let Russell Crowe in or he will eat all of our food.
01:41We will tell him he is not fit because of his t-shirt.
01:45Why can I only wear sweatpants now?
01:48Yeah, well, that might not be wrong.
01:50I guess he was also wearing flip-flops and their website clearly states that flip-flops
01:55are not permitted inside the eatery.
01:57Well, they've lost me too.
01:58Dave attire.
01:59Yeah, they've lost me too.
02:01Discrimination!
02:02Yeah.
02:02I'm going to protest outside with giant flip-flops.
02:04Okay, so isn't it like a bad move every single time when a, like a legitimate, like he was
02:11the gladiator, right?
02:12Right.
02:13When the gladiator shows up to eat at your place, I don't care what he's in, right?
02:17Yeah, let him in.
02:18You let him in and you hope he likes it.
02:20Did they not know who he was?
02:21Maybe they didn't.
02:22He's a sloth figure.
02:23Oh, that's it.
02:23Who is this guy?
02:24He's a bad guy!
02:25Oh, a shrub!
02:26You look like a shrub!
02:27He's probably like, I'm the guy from Gladiator?
02:29I'm like, no, you're not!
02:30Oh, come on!
02:31Get out of here!
02:32The owner has no problem talking it out, saying they looked like they were slobs.
02:39Oh, a shrub.
02:40Wearing slobby gym gear.
02:42She was called out too, right?
02:44Yes.
02:45Oh, really?
02:45Both of them.
02:46Him and his girlfriend.
02:47And she said, we treat everyone the same.
02:49It doesn't matter if you're Russell Crowe or not.
02:51We've got a dress code that we enforce.
02:55And this is Australia.
02:56He's like a big deal there.
02:57Yeah, everyone should know who he is, right?
02:59Like, it's crazy that they were like, get out of here, you fat shrub.
03:05Shrub.
03:08She added, we're not trying, or he added, we're not trying to teach people how to dress, but
03:11I know personally, if I'm in my flip-flops and my board shorts, I'm not going to go to
03:16a nice restaurant, because that's not appropriate.
03:19Well, he went to Mr. Miyagi's, right?
03:21Like, I mean, he probably thought he was going to be okay.
03:25He was like, oh, well, it's good to Mr. Miyagi's, eh?
03:28I was worried about getting the whole show kicked out of the restaurant we went to when
03:31we were in Vegas that one year.
03:32Oh, yeah.
03:32Because I'm in a tuxedo t-shirt.
03:34I love that.
03:35It was fine.
03:36You're in Vegas.
03:37I don't know.
03:38Same rules don't apply.
03:39Yeah, but sometimes some of those restaurants can be kind of pretentious.
03:41Yeah, they can.
03:42You know, sense of humor.
03:43I actually did.
03:44We were the only ones in there.
03:45Family Insult.
03:46Yeah.
03:47I actually did get turned away from a restaurant in Portugal this past summer for wearing sandals.
03:54They were like, get the hell out of here.
03:55Well, we walked.
03:56Okay, so Amber thought it was around the corner.
03:59It was not.
04:00It was like a half hour walk.
04:02She always gets you with it.
04:03I know.
04:03Always.
04:04I think she just says that to me to get me to go.
04:06Yeah.
04:06Right?
04:07So anyways, so it's hot.
04:09We walked half an hour there.
04:10I'm like, oh, God.
04:12It was up at the top of a hotel.
04:14So we're in the lobby is where like the host stand is.
04:17And there's this real douchebag.
04:18Oh, yeah.
04:19There.
04:19And I walk up and he's like, sir.
04:22The lights are on.
04:23We'll see you.
04:24We have a dress code.
04:26You must wear shoes.
04:28I'm wearing shoes.
04:29He's like, those are sandals.
04:32Yes.
04:33Okay.
04:33I'm like, dude, we walked half an hour from our hotel.
04:35Really?
04:36He's like, let me make a call.
04:37So he calls up.
04:39He's on the phone.
04:40And I was wearing like my Apple watch.
04:42And so, you know, I wasn't dressed up or fancy or anything.
04:45I mean, I was wearing a nice shirt.
04:46And he's like, yeah, what is he?
04:49And he looked right at my watch and was like, yeah, it's an Apple watch.
04:53And then he's like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
04:59I'm sorry, sir.
05:00We cannot make an exception.
05:02What?
05:03Incredible.
05:03I was ready to, Amber's like, calm down.
05:06Because I'm like, I don't know where the non-Europeans here.
05:12Yeah, exactly.
05:13I'm not liking on you.
05:14I think that if I had been wearing like a nice watch, and I have some nice watches.
05:19I just wasn't wearing it.
05:21I would have been allowed in.
05:23And an Apple watch got you.
05:25An Apple watch.
05:26Sandals and an Apple watch.
05:27You can't get into a restaurant.
05:30Son of a bitch.
05:31I would have called James and said, James, I need you to poop on something.
05:35I'll be right there.
05:36Well, I went on TripAdvisor and wrote a scathing.
05:38Oh, I bet.
05:39You definitely got to look that up when you're in foreign countries and traveling.
05:44I know.
05:45I honestly didn't realize it was a fancy place.
05:47Yeah, I'd feel like, I'd be like, you, sir, are a douchebag to the guy.
05:51Oh, my God.
05:52Oh, and he was.
05:54You're like, well, my Apple watch ain't fancy enough for ya?
05:57Huh?
05:59I didn't call him an A-hole.
06:01But that's when Amber told me I had to go.
06:03Yeah.
06:04Because I was ready to get into it with the dude.
06:05Apple watch.
06:06Dush.
06:07Dush.
06:08Sandals.
06:08And I'm like, I put him like, look right at it and say Apple watch.
06:11And then I'm like, he's like, I'm sorry.
06:13Sweaty.
06:13They look like they came in off the streets.
06:16They walked.
06:16Amber looked incredible.
06:18But her husband with sandals and an Apple watch.
06:22I'm not kidding.
06:23They walked here.
06:24I'm not kidding.
06:24I'm not.
06:25I'm not making it up.
06:26They walked.
06:26It was like a half an hour walk.
06:28They had to walk.
06:29So they have no, there's no money.
06:30We walked down the street and found an incredible restaurant that let us in.
06:34So F them.
06:35Yeah.
06:36It was called Taco Bell.
06:39Hell yeah.
06:39Someone said I got rejected from a restaurant at a Jamaican hotel for flip flops.
06:44Jamaican hotel?
06:45At a Jamaican hotel.
06:46What kind of fancy Jamaican hotel were you at?
06:48But someone else was allowed in with wet scuba boots because they were closed toe.
06:53Yeah.
06:53Yes.
06:54I am in a scuba outfit.
06:57Come on.
06:57I would have showed up the next day in a full scuba outfit.
07:00I was in the Dominican Republic with the rock chicks here at the station and they would
07:04have let me into the kibachi place because I didn't have pants.
07:07Oh yeah.
07:07I was in shorts.
07:09Yeah.
07:09It's a tropical location.
07:10I'm like, I'm on vacation, man.
07:11I don't wear pants in Michigan in the middle of winter.
07:14No.
07:14You know where's the craziest place?
07:16So when years ago and we did Disney with the whole family, one night Amber and I went
07:20to dinner by ourselves and the family watched the boys.
07:22Yeah.
07:23And it was a really supposed to be like one of their nicest restaurants and it was amazing,
07:27but it's Disney.
07:28So they don't enforce any, like there's a suggested policy.
07:33So I was wearing pants and a dress shirt.
07:35Amber was all dressed up.
07:36The people next to us had frigging goofy ears, goofy hats on.
07:41Yeah.
07:41I hate that so much.
07:43And just let me know that that's okay because then I could, I'm not going to have goofy ears
07:48on or whatever, but I will be at least comfortable and not sweaty.
07:53I'm like, I could have been in shorts and a t-shirt and still had this beautiful meal.
07:57Yeah.
07:59Yeah.
08:00That bothers me.
08:00But they, you know, I think Amber kind of joking around with the waiter said something
08:04and he's like, yes, at Disney we suggest, but we want everyone to feel comfortable.
08:08Yeah.
08:08What are they going to do?
08:08Because people literally come from the park and go eat, you know, a nice steak dinner or
08:12something.
08:13And then you feel like you're overdressed.
08:14That's how I, and there's nothing anymore.
08:16You're next to Goofy Bill over here who's like sweaty and has been in, you know, on rides
08:21all day.
08:22And Goofy Bill's probably like, look at these fancy pants guys.
08:24Yeah.
08:26Come and enjoy the Magic Kingdom and get all dressed up.
08:28You're right.
08:29They probably, you're right.
08:30That was probably the one out of place.
08:31Can't believe he's wearing a bow tie.
08:35Bow tie.
08:36I wasn't wearing a bow tie.
08:37He looks ridiculous.
08:38I did feel out of place.
