we all know about how if you're offered a million dollars or dinner with Jay-Z you pick the money right? what's the amount of money where it's low enough for you to pick the dinner, though? Like 5 dollars or dinner with Jay-Z it's probably worth it to do the dinner. 100 dollars? where's your line
i think it depends where and what the dinner is. $100 or burger king with jay-z? i’m getting the $100. $100 or 3 star michelin restaurant with jay-z im eating with jay-z
what we eating tho?
Probably mid 4 digits? If you like hip hop then he’s one of the best to ever do it and, regardless of any ostensibly genius advice being shared (that he hasn’t already offered in his music), he has a nice voice for telling stories!
Would be an interesting meal (complete with bizarro Kanye stories) but I think even Jay himself said it’d be a poor business decision to not take the money and run 💎
$25. I know this makes me look bad but $25 is nothing to sneeze at! Also I feel like Jay-Z and I wouldn't have much in common or to talk about at dinner? Plus I have all kinds of dietary restrictions, it'd be a hassle coupled with a burden
darci not beating the "if george costanza finally transitioned" allogations /pos
this is an extremely George answer, I will concede
How nice is the dinner
How much is the dinner worth. 1 dollar under.
Honestly the line is just wherever the meal becomes more expensive. Like if it’s between a 20 dollar meal or 21 dollars I’d take the 21
probably like 70, 80 bucks. i value my time
what kind of value do you think the dinner would bring that would make you reject 50 dollars im curious
i mean if its with jay z hes a rich dude so we're probably goin somewhere pretty fancy. like a steakhouse or something
so the actual draw of the famous person is adding nothing here you're just doing math to gauge the value of a good meal interesting
yea p much. idk maybe he'd have some good tips about the music industry but we operate in such different areas that i dont think it would be anything at all
same, that's how i'd appraise it too
Someone that rich I don’t believe he and I would have anything to talk about and I don’t personally know his catalog well even. People make that much money it fundamentally changes how they see and interact with others and I just don’t see it being a good conversation.
Thought about it a bit and decided probably it’s partly that i don’t love Jay Z’a music compared to other artists. But I can’t think of any artists I love who have that kinda money either. Like Tom Waits I’d have that sit down in a heart beat. Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Bowie I’d sit.
for me ? someone like Devin Townsend. there's no amount of money i'd accept over a dinner with that guy
this is so interesting to me because i would kill to shake devin townsend’s hand and tell him quickly that i enjoy his music but i would do anything to avoid a long conversation with him. i feel like you would actually have stuff to talk about tho like to pick his brain but i would just Be Weird
i’ve thought about this a lot wrt trent reznor. if i spent more than 30 seconds around that guy something would fall out of my mouth that would embarrass me to a point where i would buy a trailer and live off of canned goods and attempt to forget that music exists for the rest of my days
i already met devin once at a VIP and i literally had the trip over my words moment he was incredibly gracious and down to earth and then i got to talk to him abt production a lil and i think at this point i could handle the starstruckness
Right? Like Steven Wilson, we’d be talking about music, audio, his work remastering Tull and King Crimson. Fuck….. it is possible that I am too white suburban dude for own good.
Yeah this exactly.
i can make a sandwich and not have to human, so… no line for me 🤷♀️ a penny is plenty
i can have dinner for free. the free dinner is sleep. but a penny given is a penny i didn't have before, so.
So here’s how you play this. Jay-Z is your foot in the door so that’ll get you a table just about anywhere. Now I’m selling tickets to dinner with Jay-Z and a 7 out of 10 at a Michelin starred restaurant.
Anything lower than what the dinner would cost, as long as I can take it to go. I don't even like Jay's music and he's responsible for Kanye, I don't wanna hang out with him. If I have to eat with him then that number drops even lower.
just wolf down the meal and peace out bring headphones and tell him your listening to his music and put on something else
once it's under the cost of the meal, im going for the meal
huge
finally a way for me to get you to eat more
im really bad at finishing my meals at restaurants 😖
we can always get a to go box!
nooooo
This'd be my general measure. Um, btw, who is Jay Z?
It really depends on if it's just me and Jay Z at the table or if there are other people present. If there are other people I can just enjoy my dinner and fade into the background. If it's just him and me the awkwardness would be all consuming, it'd have to be negative dollars.
depends on how much dinner would be if the money is even a dollar more than the bill take the money if the bill is more expensive than money take the dinner do i get to pick the restaurant? does he pay for accommodation?
this is starting to feel more like jay-z is having dinner with me and not the other way around
I'd take the dinner with Jemme over the million dollars
nah take the million and split it with me girl
and then well got to dinner after anyway
like $100 cause it WOULD be fun to do a deadpan bit of some kind at dinner with jay-z
Tbh I feel like it would be a pretty awkward dinner, but if it’s with jay z it’s probably somewhere bougie so a few hundred bucks? It would be nice to eat at a fancy restaurant
Probably 100, 200 bucks. The story + food would be worth about that much to me
Is Jay-z paying for the dinner or are we splitting the bill
Honestly, I'd say $1000. Not because I like Jay-Z, but because the bits I'd force him to sit through would be everything
Truthfully? I would still take the 5 dollars fuck Jay-Z
How long is the dinner? It is Alinea? I’d be seated if it was at a multi Michelin starred restaurant. Otherwise I’m counting it at 75 an hour, basically OT. That or higher take the money
kinda depends on the dinner situation, like if it involves visiting LA or Brooklyn and hanging around the rest of the day, then that's worth at least a 100 bucks to me
not with Jay Z, just you know, wandering around
if it's just a local restaurant, I'd rather have $50
