Ralph details the strict, almost militant routines of strip clubs including hourly walkthroughs, nightly goodbyes for near-empty rooms, breakfast-themed late shows, no-touching rules, and how the scene got diluted after Giuliani's crackdowns.
- 27:43The strip club served breakfast items late at night called 'Legs and Eggs' during the last three hours
- 28:12Tim closed the night's shows with Adam Sandler's 'So Long' to strip music
- 28:35The New York club required hourly walkthroughs where all girls did two-for-one drink and dance specials
- 29:00The club made girls do formal goodbyes every night at eight o'clock with full dress introductions
- 29:35The nightly introductions involved 50 to 60 girls in full costume getting called out one at a time with biographical details
- 30:17Before Giuliani changed zoning laws, dancers considered a thousand dollars a bad night and banked serious money
- 30:37Giuliani eliminated most New York strip clubs through zoning changes and the public appetite for debauchery died
- 31:08'Breaking space' was the club's term for a rule where dancers had to stay at least knee-distance from customers
- 31:23Modern strip clubs allow customers to do essentially anything with girls in VIP rooms if they pay enough
