I know a couple of guys who run a VCR repair shop in Wisconsin. They mostly just sit around and talk about movies instead of repairing VCR players. In fact, I don't think they've repaired a VCR player since the 80s. Not sure how they're still in business.

Is this like the premise for a movie?

Not to spoil the joke, but it's about redlettermedia on YouTube. I'd rather give them more traffic than just chuckle about an inside joke.

Oh Iโ€™m completely unaware. Iโ€™ll go check them out.

Do they have a lot of customers who pop in but don't stay long?

Mostly just some rich asshole who keeps asking if his VCR player is fixed yet.
