1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 2: Lou Penrose with you till ten o'clock, Bag of It, 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 2: tuning in good to have you along with us. On 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: a Wednesday, Tim Conway talking about coffee. The numbers are 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 2: out and they've gone up. Just three years ago, the 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: average Americans spent eleven hundred dollars a year on coffee 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: and that number is out. Last survey done fourteen hundred 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: dollars a year on coffee, primarily at chain coffee shops. 9 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 2: So we really enjoy that little luxury and it's costing, 10 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: and that kind of stands to reason, because the cup 11 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: of coffee has gone from four dollars to six dollars 12 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 2: to now sometimes up to eight dollars. You do that 13 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: every day and sometimes twice a day, and you think 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: nothing of it because it's a small luxury in life. 15 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: Come on to go and get some coffee. They hand 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 2: out Starbucks gift cards at iHeart like it's nothing because 17 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: they know everybody has coffee. But you do that five 18 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: days a week and then maybe on Sunday morning, and 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: the next thing, you know, days become weeks and weeks 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 2: become a year, and it's fourteen hundred dollars out of 21 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: your pocket. Well, here's a number that you didn't know. 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: And I've always wondered about this. The wrong coffee order 23 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: is having a significant impact on some of these coffee chains. 24 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: You think it's a wonderful courtesy, and it is. They 25 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: want you to have that perfect cup of coffee. You 26 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 2: really can't mess up my coffee. I'll do a tall black. 27 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: My wife has her special coffee in the few times 28 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: that we're in one of these coffee shops. It's got 29 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: to be right. Like if she sends me out to 30 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: get a cup of coffee, I'm like text me the 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: exact words because it has to be right. So some 32 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: people are like that and they want their coffee exactly right, 33 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,639 Speaker 2: and if it's not exactly right or even doesn't taste 34 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: exactly right. All the coffee chains and all coffee shops, 35 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: but specifically Starbucks, they're the first ones to say, not 36 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: a problem, not a problem. They'll take it right from you. 37 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: Could be the biggest cup they have. You could have 38 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 2: had it with all kinds of special oats and milks 39 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: and flavors and steam, and they just they literally lift 40 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: it out of your hand and say not a problem. 41 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: They want you to know that they will remake that 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: coffee with pleasure. Well, those wrong coffee orders significantly impact 43 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: their business and have been destroying their bottom line for 44 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 2: years because to remake a drink means double the cost 45 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: of ingredients. All right, that makes sense, So double the 46 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: cost of milk, double espresso, double syrup, plus the labor. Time. Now, 47 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: because coffee shops are trying to be cost conscious, and 48 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 2: have you know, the margin, the profit margin has gotten thinner. 49 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 2: They're not making as much profit because they're trying to 50 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: keep that cost down. Coffee beans are expensive and the 51 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: coffee beans are going up, and this administration is always 52 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: talking tariffs, which spook the international markets. We don't have 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: coffee here in the United States, so it has to 54 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 2: come from somewhere. Who knows are they going to be 55 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: on the good list of the bad list this week? 56 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 2: And that puts jitters no pun intended in the coffee 57 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: bean market. So like Starbucks can't do anything about that. 58 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: So all they can do is tighten their profit margin. 59 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: But if they have to remake your coffee, that just 60 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: cuts right into it. The cup is relatively low. That's 61 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: interesting to me. I thought that the amount of things 62 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: that go on in a Starbucks coffee cup. You got 63 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: the cup, you got the lid, you got the sleeve, 64 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 2: you got the little green thing to keep it from spilling, 65 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: and then if you get more than two, you got 66 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: the caddy. There's a lot going on there. Usually in 67 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: the fast food business. I know this, I worked at 68 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: Burger King. Like, sodas in the fast food business are 69 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: a huge money maker. Like this. Nothing in a soda. 70 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: It is tap water. They use tap water. They're they're 71 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: not purifying the water. It's not sparklets back there. It's 72 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: just on the la the same line that the water 73 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: that comes out of the sink is. There's just tap 74 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: water and a canister of Coca Cola syrup, which at 75 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 2: the time that I was working, was pretty inexpensive, like 76 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: just a couple of bucks for a five gallon can 77 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 2: of syrup and carbonation co two great big co two 78 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: tank looks like a missile on a submarine. We had 79 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: two of them, and the guy came like once a 80 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: month to swap him out. So like at a fast 81 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 2: food restaurant, the most expensive component in your large coke 82 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: is the cup and the straw and the lid, but 83 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: at Starbucks, they're saying the cup is actually not it's 84 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: relatively low. The labor cost is really the big thing. 85 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: And if they you have to remake your drink, it's 86 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: not just the materials. It's not just the cup. It's 87 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: the time and it's the time away from making the 88 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: other person's coffee for the first time. So that causes 89 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: all kind of bottlenecks, right especially now that people are 90 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 2: running in there with uber eats. People are ubering coffee 91 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: to themselves, so it's now measurable that courtesy of remaking 92 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: your coffee. And it's not always because they made it wrong. 93 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: Sometimes you ordered wrong or you just don't like it, 94 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: and you've gotten very comfortable with saying sometimes it's kind 95 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: of awkward. I'm not comfortable saying this doesn't taste exactly right. 96 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: I know it says what I want, but would you mind, 97 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: Like I'm not that guy, like I rarely send things back, Roner. 98 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: Do you send like food back in a restaurant or 99 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 2: ask Starbucks to remake it if they did it exactly 100 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: the way you said it and you just it just 101 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: doesn't sit right with you. If it's all if it's 102 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: written wrong on the cup. Even then I think I'll 103 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 2: just go with it. Almost never, but I don't go 104 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: to Starbucks. It's too expensive, it's too acidic, and I 105 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 2: think the people who run it are a holes. It 106 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: is too expensive, it is too acidic. Sometimes it's the 107 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: only thing you can grab it like an airport. Yeah, 108 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 2: I mean choosing Starbucks because that's the numbers here for 109 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: the example. But like, even in restaurants, when was the 110 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: last time you actually sent back something to the kitchen? 111 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 3: Well, almost never, because you want to be strategic about that, 112 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: so you don't get the special return to you with 113 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 3: some human saliva in it. 114 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 2: Well, ah, that doesn't really happen. Oh yes it does. 115 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: I mean that happens in movies in like you know, 116 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: teenage coming of age movies as a laugh line. Oh no, 117 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: don't kid yourself, Lou. You've worked in restaurants or you 118 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 2: know people that have that can first hand. 119 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 3: I've been a bartender at a number of places to 120 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 3: supplement my writing career, and I know tons of people 121 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: in the service industry. And if you send something back, 122 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: you want to be as nice about that as you 123 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: possibly can. 124 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: Right, And that's that's the thing. Like it isn't my 125 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: fear that they're going to adulterate my meal for spite. 126 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: It's just that i'd you know, everybody's working fast, everybody's 127 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: This happened to me just this past Saturday. It was 128 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: my son's seventeenth birthday and we went out and it 129 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: was like it was I think we had a seven 130 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: forty five time, but we couldn't get seated until eight ten. 131 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: That's how busy it was. And you know, it took time. 132 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: And when the steak came, it wasn't it wasn't medium. 133 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 2: It was certainly rare. It wasn't medium rare. It was rare. 134 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: But I was like, you know what, let the steak 135 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: sit for a minute. It'll eventually work itself up. I'm 136 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: not sending back the steak. I mean, these guys are 137 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: busy back there, This restaurant's full, It'll be fine. Like 138 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: I just I'm not comfortable sending it back because I 139 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: don't feel like anybody really made a mistake. There's hundreds 140 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: of dishes is going out of that kitchen. Not everyone's 141 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: going to be perfect, and you're right, and I also 142 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: just don't want to be that that person. Well, it 143 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: depends on what kind of a stake. It was. Was 144 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: it a really nice one? It was a really nice one. 145 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: But it was okay, I mean it was it was. 146 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 2: I would have liked it the way I ordered it, 147 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: which was medium. I just like it a little firm, err, 148 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: but it wasn't. But that's all right, it'll get there. 149 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: Just let it sit for a couple of minutes. It'll 150 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: eventually get to get get to the where where it 151 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: needs to be. But I like, I would never have 152 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: sent it back because I remember my son said we 153 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: should be sent it back. I'm like, no, don't back, like, 154 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: don't even suggest that, like, don't even say anything, like 155 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: don't say, wow, that's a little less than I wanted 156 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: to wanted it. But I'll settle with it, like don't 157 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: even go there. Let let people just do their work 158 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: and uh, and just kind of roll with it because 159 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 2: there is there is no perfect I remember somebody once 160 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: told me that. 161 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, everybody's threshold is different, but for me, 162 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 3: something's got to be just catastrophically bad for me to 163 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: send it back. Because you're rolling the dice from the 164 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 3: instant you call the waiter or waitress over to your 165 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 3: table and say, hey, listen, I'm sorry, but I just 166 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: there's there's something not here. 167 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 2: I mean, there has to be something on the plate, 168 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 2: like something on the plate that does not belong on 169 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 2: the plate, or a piece of glass in the plate, 170 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: or I mean, it really has to be something that 171 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: everybody would agree. Oh, I'm terribly sorry, you know, like 172 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: that's and I'll just point it out. I won't even 173 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: say or complain. I'll just like just bring the person 174 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: over and just point at it and they'll they'll get 175 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: it up right away. Yeah. 176 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: Otherwise, I just don't go back to the place. It's 177 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 3: got to be something bad, like a human tooth on 178 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 3: the plate, something. 179 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: That's exactly And if that has happened to you, I 180 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: don't even want to hear about it. Because people have 181 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: not made their seven forty five dinner reservations yet. 182 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 183 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 4: When your coffee costs almost six dollars. Startups, and it's 184 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 4: just a BENTI Americano with some syrup in it. 185 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 5: That's it. 186 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 4: If they make it wrong, you're damn right. I'm good 187 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 4: to get them to remake it, which I did today, 188 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 4: and they're happy too, because I'm regular and they don't 189 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 4: do it very often, so that helps. But you know 190 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 4: they promise to get it right, so they got to 191 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 4: get it right. And it is very expensive. But I 192 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 4: don't drink alcohol, so I can justify it anyway. 193 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: Bye bye, appreciate the call. Right, see you did it. 194 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: You just did it today, which tells me you do 195 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: it more regularly than you think. Couple of things, so 196 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: lou Penrose rule Number four. Words matter in life. There 197 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: is no they're happy to do it. There's only I'm 198 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: happy to do it. So don't presume they're happy to 199 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 2: do it. People in the service industry are paid to smile, 200 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: so you hope they're happy to do it. You think 201 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 2: they're happy to do it. You're comforted that you think 202 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 2: they're happy to do it. But there is no they 203 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: are happy to do it. There is only I am 204 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 2: happy to do it. So you heard those words. That's 205 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: different than you make in that presumption. And number two, 206 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: like these stats are correct, right, they got to throw 207 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: that cup away. Nobody's drinking it, so milk, expresso, the syrup, 208 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: what you have an Americano that's just coffee and water. 209 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 2: But still well, I mean the cup goes away. They 210 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 2: got to start with a whole new cup, and then 211 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: the time they can't go help somebody else, so that 212 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: slows down the line. And that's bad. But I appreciate 213 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: the call. She just did it today. So this is 214 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 2: going on. This violates one of your major principles, mister Ronner, 215 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: and that is, I think twice before you ask them 216 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: to do it. But she's very confident that they were 217 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: happy to do it. 218 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 3: I think you're not rolling the dice as severely at 219 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 3: a Starbucks where you can see everything everybody's doing, and 220 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: if you've got a legit reason, I mean, she's right. 221 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 3: The coffee there's insanely expensive. If they don't get it right, 222 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: you have a right to ask for something different. But 223 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 3: if a waiter in a restaurant brings something that isn't 224 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: just quite to your taste, weigh your decisions carefully. 225 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: Well, I see, I have a whole different strategy in 226 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: restaurants because I do like things the way I want it, 227 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: and I'm excellent at rearranging the menu. Like I can 228 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 2: look through a menu and literally find raw materials all 229 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: over that menu. And but you have to read the room, 230 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: so you have to you have to literally read the server, 231 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 2: the waiter see if they're open to and and it's 232 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: very delicate and very nuanced. I once ordered. I don't 233 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: like caesar salad, but I like everything in a caesar salad. 234 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: Does that make sense, I'm I don't like no, I 235 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: like like, I'll have a caesar salad if I'm in 236 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: the mood, I'll have a because you can add chicken 237 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: to a caesar salad, which I like. Is one of 238 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: the few places that you can find grilled chicken on 239 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: almost every menu, like every like every menu that you 240 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: fight chicken. But sometimes the chicken is baked. If it's cooked, 241 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: it's got a whole lot of butter on it. I 242 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: like that, and I don't really want anything fried. So 243 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: the chicken caesar is a good way to go, because 244 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: you know that chicken breast is gonna be grilled and 245 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 2: it's gonna be perfect. But I don't like caesar salad dressing. 246 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 2: I don't like that anchovy thing, and it's worse when 247 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 2: it's imitation anchovy, which often it is. And I just 248 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 2: don't want the croutons because they're messy, and I don't 249 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 2: like crunchy salad. So I'll order it and I'll say, look, 250 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 2: if this is okay, then it's fine. If it's If 251 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 2: it's not, what if it's just not gonna go over 252 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 2: well with the preparer, then then just blow it off 253 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 2: and get me something else. But I want the caesar salad, 254 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: no croutons, no caesar dressing. And she'll say, like you 255 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: understand that it's nothing but a bowl of romaine lettuce 256 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: and shaved parmesan cheese. And I'm like, yes, that's fine, 257 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: that's perfect, and then add chicken, and that's what I want. 258 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: With no dressing, no lube, nothing. 259 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 2: No dressing, no dressing if sometimes depending Now, the dressing 260 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: is a whole other thing. If there is the wooden 261 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: ball on the table, I'll go with the wooden ball. 262 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 2: The you know, the the chilupa whatever, the one that 263 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 2: has the wooden ball as the top. I don't know 264 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: what you're talking about, like the red fush has got 265 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 2: to know oh the hot saucel right, Okay, Okay, I 266 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 2: get you. I just called the wooden ball, and they 267 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: always seem to know what I'm talking. 268 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: Okay, now I get it. But everybody loves the wooden ball. 269 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll always go at the wooden balls as 270 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: a dressing because I just don't like any of that white, 271 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: creamy dressing. And I don't like branch I don't like 272 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: blue cheese. I don't like the whole combo Italian. Sometimes 273 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: they have creamy Italian and they'll mix it with the 274 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: olive oil and vinegar. I just don't like any of that. 275 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: So I'll do the chilula or serachi, some of the 276 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: red one of those red bottles on a salad. I'll 277 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: throw it up on the salad. 278 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 3: I listen. It's not my job to denigrate the host. 279 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 3: But that's pretty sick, you know. I think that sounds good. 280 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: You gotta try it, you Know's what's funny people people 281 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: have that reaction when I go out with people for 282 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: the first time. Yeah, and they see me ordering like 283 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: a chicken caesar made without anything that is caesar, no kroutons, 284 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: no no dressing, and then I'll order. I'll either order 285 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 2: if they don't have the wooden ball. And then some 286 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: are on the menu. They serve hot chicken wings. Sometimes, 287 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: like in the appetizer section, they'll be buffalo wings. I'll 288 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: ask for a sight of the buffalo sauce used in 289 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: the buffalo wing recipe. 290 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 3: I hope you tip your waiter and waitress really well 291 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: because you know that they're talking about this when they're 292 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: out of your sight. 293 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, but what they say is, you know that looks 294 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: really good. See you think that's nobody's never said right, 295 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: nobody's ever said number one, we can't do that, or 296 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 2: the waiter won't do it, or that sounds really crazy, 297 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: but it's your money. They always bring it out and 298 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: they're like, you know, that looks really good. That's what 299 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: they say with Yeah, but they wouldn't have this. They 300 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 2: wouldn't say that unless it was true. 301 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 3: Oh, Lou, I hate to break this to you, but 302 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 3: that's not what they're saying. When they go back into 303 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 3: the kitchen. 304 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: We have this maniac out there that wants basically broken 305 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 2: up pieces of romain lettuce, some dried cheese, and the 306 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: wooden ball sauce. 307 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, the waitresses is back in the kitchen talking to 308 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: the cooks is saying should I just give this to 309 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 3: him or should we call for an involuntary mental health hold. 310 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, you got to try it. That's that's the 311 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: big that's the big secret is like find other things 312 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 2: on the menu to use as dressing on those salads. 313 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 3: I like Caesar dressing, and I like the anchoviies. I 314 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 3: And I don't feel like I have to defend this. 315 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 3: I think it's just inherently tasty. 316 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: The thing about the anchoviies is that like it's it's 317 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: hit or miss, like if it's if you're in a 318 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 2: place that is, like if you're a restaurant that has 319 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 2: actual anchobies on the menu. Elsewhere otherwise where are they 320 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: getting those anchobies. It's just I don't like to take chances. 321 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: You get one shot at ordering, and I we've all 322 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: been there when you order bad, especially if you're hungry, 323 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: you order bad, and the whole night goes south after 324 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: that because you can't you can't change the order. You 325 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: gotta sit with it. No anchovy's can be dicey. 326 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 3: I understand that, and I will have anchovies on a 327 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 3: pizza and enjoy everybody else's horrified reaction to that. 328 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: I think you're one of those guys you because that 329 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 2: you know, it's funny you go back in the day 330 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: and people talk about anchovies on a pizza, Like if 331 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 2: you go back to the Honeymooners, Ralph Crandon will order 332 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 2: a pizza with anchovies. You go to back to black 333 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 2: and white sitcoms and like early seventies television shows, even 334 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: on happy days, they would order pizza with anchovies you'd 335 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 2: hear referenced. Now nobody does that, so you're that's old 336 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: school right there. 337 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 3: If it's good enough for Ralph Crandon, it's good enough 338 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 3: for me. I love the Honeymooners. There you go. 339 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 340 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 2: They have now identified the substance that was sprayed on 341 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: Congresswoman il Han Omar at a Minneapolis town hall event 342 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 2: last night. It was apple cider vinegar, but it could 343 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 2: have been anything, and that this individual was able to 344 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: get that close to a member of Congress is troublesome. 345 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 2: I have to tell you perfectly, perfectly, honestly that when 346 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 2: I saw this video, man, I got chills because it 347 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: was a flashback. This is the worst nightmare for any 348 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 2: staffer of a member of Congress. And I staffed three 349 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 2: members of Congress, and this is the worst nightmare. Watching this, 350 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: I like almost broke out into sweat, Like I was 351 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 2: just so terrifying, because this is the scenario that you 352 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 2: play in your head when you design events for your boss. 353 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: If you work for a member of Congress and it 354 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 2: happened to her. And when you consider how close this 355 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 2: guy was and what he could have done, you realize 356 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 2: that Congresswoman Omar is a very, very lucky person. She 357 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: is very lucky. And I don't care what your pay 358 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: politics are. I don't care if you like her, don't 359 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 2: like her Republican Democrat, it doesn't matter. No member of 360 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: Congress should be harmed in the United States. Nobody should 361 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: be hurting members of Congress. This is incredible. How close 362 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: he got to her is just incredible to me. 363 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 6: But fifty five year old Minneapolis man is in custody. 364 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 6: He is being held in the henne Been County jail 365 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 6: after lunging towards Representative Illhan Omar with a syringe with 366 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 6: a syringe, So think about that. 367 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: That could have been anything in his hand right. He 368 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 2: certainly could have shot her if you could have gotten 369 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: a gun into that room. But he could have taken 370 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 2: he could have He was within distance to hurt her 371 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: with a blade of some kind. He could have been 372 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 2: an editor, or there could have been other things that 373 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 2: he could have thrown on her, bleach chemicals, who knows. 374 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 2: And he had a syringe. Now I looked at it. 375 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: The syringe. It was kind of like the syringe that 376 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: you get when you're giving like a toddler children's talent 377 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 2: all one of those plastic syringes, not that big, and 378 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: it doesn't hold a whole lot, maybe like ten fifteen milliliterers, 379 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: but it's plastic. So if she had metal detectors, who 380 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: would have gotten through. And people don't know this, but 381 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 2: members of Congress are not guarded by secret Service, They 382 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 2: don't have dignitary protection. If she has her own personal security, 383 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 2: it's hired and paid for out of the campaign account. 384 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 2: You can't expense that to the federal taxpayer. So it's 385 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: just her and her staff, and she's sitting in a room. 386 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: And I don't know if it was a town hall 387 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: meeting or a press conference, but clearly the public was invited, 388 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: and the public usually is invited when a member of 389 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: Congress is going to make remarks. That's the way it's 390 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 2: supposed to be. We have an open government. We have 391 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: representatives that are democratically elected. We're supposed to be able 392 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 2: to walk up to our own lawmakers and talk to them, 393 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 2: and sit quietly in a chair and listen to them 394 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 2: share their thoughts and answer questions. I mean, that's about 395 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 2: as American as it gets. But it is just too 396 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: dangerous out there. There's too many crazy people. And I'm 397 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: happy that she is safe. I really am, because I 398 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: was working in Congress when Congresswoman Gabby Gifford's got shot 399 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 2: in the head in her own district at an event 400 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 2: where she invited people to come, and she was like 401 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 2: literally in a strip mall shopping center on a Saturday 402 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: morning to do. And I've done this, like donuts with 403 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: the congress member. Come and sit and have some donuts 404 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 2: and coffee, and let's chat about what you think about 405 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 2: what's going on in America today, and give me some 406 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 2: feedback and some good ideas, and I'll give you an 407 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 2: update on what we're working on back in Washington, DC. 408 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 2: Like that used to be the thing. We used to 409 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 2: do that regularly when members of Congress were home, as 410 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 2: we say, in the district, because they represent a congressional district, 411 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 2: so when they're home of the district, it was my 412 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: job to find a good venue. Find you know, a 413 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 2: nice place where there's play parking and it's open air 414 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 2: and you can hear the member of Congress. So if 415 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 2: we're using amplified sound, it works, or if it's not, 416 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: if we're not allowed to have amplified everybody can hear 417 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 2: in the back. This plenty of room, everyone's comfortable, and 418 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 2: there is security. But back in the day, all you 419 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: needed was whatever security that came with the venue, or 420 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: you know, maybe the local the local police department would 421 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 2: just send out a squad car and they just park 422 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: it way out in the back, just to have a 423 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 2: presence of law enforcement. But that was all done and 424 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 2: it was done properly in Arizona, and the Member of 425 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 2: Congress almost died but was shot here. You have no guns, 426 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: no knives, but who knows what he could have threw 427 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: at her. And I just think that for a while, 428 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: we may want to consider suspending the whole town hall 429 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: meeting thing. And that's a pity, that really is a pity, 430 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 2: But that's where we're at. It's too dangerous out there. 431 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, these four hundred 432 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 2: and thirty five members of the House of Representatives, while 433 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 2: you may like some and really dislike others, they are 434 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 2: representatives of your fellow Americans. So they have a right 435 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 2: to be in Congress. They have a right to stand 436 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: in the public square and share. You have a right 437 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 2: to ask them questions. If they're your representative, you really 438 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: don't have a right to go and bug them and 439 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 2: bother them. If they're not your representative, go talk to 440 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 2: your own congressman. But we ought to be able to 441 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 2: just gather and have her share her remarks, even if 442 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: you disagree with what she had to say. 443 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not a big fan of hers, but I 444 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 7: wouldn't want harm to come to anybody. You're right, it 445 00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 7: could have been gasoline bleach. There was definitely a breach 446 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 7: of security, Absolutely terrible. I saw it on TV. It 447 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 7: was soaked right into her sweater. But what I loved 448 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 7: is she held her fists up to the guy and 449 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 7: was going to take him on. 450 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 2: Did you see that? I did see that. I did 451 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: see that because I watched it like fifty times, and 452 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 2: I did see her initial reaction because it's striking right. 453 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you feel water on you or 454 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 2: some kind of something wet or cold, and it's like, 455 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: you know you've had that happen when something get sprinkled 456 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 2: on you. It's jarring. And when she looked up and 457 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 2: realized that somebody had was approaching her, coming at her 458 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 2: and sprayed it on her. Her first reaction was to 459 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 2: go after him. And she's tiny and he was like 460 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: twice her size, but she stopped herself and let security 461 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 2: handle it. But yeah, her initial reaction was to attack. 462 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 2: I did see that was rooting for her in that moment. Seriously, 463 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 2: Lou you're you're falling for this. It was a complete setup. 464 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm not. I'm not down for the setup. 465 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: You know the level of coordination it would take to 466 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 2: manufacture a fake assault and battery on a member of Congress. 467 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 2: And by the way, who would you get to play 468 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 2: that role? Because that person is facing jail time? You 469 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 2: know what, LOUI, you're right. 470 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 8: I mean, she's she's not the most likable person in Congress, 471 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 8: and she's not definitely not the smartest person in Congress. 472 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 8: But you're right, she no member of Congress deserves to 473 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 8: get treated like that. Absolutely, you're one right. 474 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. I am right. But for the mean, 475 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 2: while we're shorting this out, we probably want to tone 476 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 2: down the whole town hall thing for a little bit 477 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 2: of time. And I think that's just a statement of 478 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: where we're at and I do think that's a pity 479 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 2: because we don't in America. We don't make the laws. 480 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 2: We elect the lawmakers. So it's a trust and we 481 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: have to have constant community communication with our lawmakers. And 482 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 2: if conditions are so dangerous that you can't even talk 483 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 2: to your own constituents, that's a step back in my opinion. 484 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 485 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,479 Speaker 2: There is a small clothing company in North Carolina that 486 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 2: decided to double down and buck the trend and manufacture 487 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 2: American clothing with American raw materials, American cotton, and pay 488 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 2: Americans American salaries and just whatever the price tag came 489 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: out to be, they're gonna put it on the shelf 490 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 2: and guess what, they're going gangbusters.

And there's a guy that tests 503 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 2: apple cider vinegar and then checks his blood sugar. And like, 504 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: now I was like reading the story, and then I 505 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 2: got hooked on this guy because every like you get 506 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: like an Omar story, Minneaples story, then this guy with 507 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: the blood sugar, then doctor Bragg's apple cider vinegar, and 508 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 2: then the blood sugar, and so now it weaned me 509 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 2: off the story and now I'm on his story. 510 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 5: We're gonna use apple cider vinegar today. There's a lot 511 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 5: of info online about apple sider vinegar and how it 512 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 5: can reduce blood sugar spikes. 513 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 2: So I'm really curious to see if this. 514 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 5: Is gonna work. 515 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this guy is insulin resistant one. On 516 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 2: social media, he's on like all of them. He's got 517 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 2: his own YouTube channel and he's like he tests food 518 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 2: and different kinds of breads, and I guess he's diabetic, 519 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: so he wants to not have things that spike is 520 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: blood sugar, and so apple cider vinegar they say helps 521 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 2: stabilize your blood sugar. But like doctors say that's not true. 522 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 2: But now technology is there where this guy is actually 523 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 2: wearing a blood sugar monitor and did a test, and 524 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 2: it turns out that doctor Braggs was right, the guy 525 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: that sells the apple sider vinegar that it does have 526 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: an impact. And he did the test like live on 527 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,239 Speaker 2: social media. Well like he recorded himself doing it and 528 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 2: then put it up there. So it's true. If you 529 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: have high blood sugar, drink a couple of teaspoons of 530 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: apple sider vinegar and you'll be under control. He did it. 531 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: He drank, He literally took sugar and put it in 532 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 2: water and drank the water and then looked at his 533 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 2: of course as blood sugar spiked. And then he waited 534 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: a day and did the apple sider vinegar. And let's 535 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: give it a shot. 536 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 5: Here's the apple cider vinegar first, all right, Now let's 537 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 5: do the sugar water. All right, So it's been two 538 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 5: hours since I've had the apple sider vinegar and the 539 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 5: sugar solution. Let's have a look at the glucose monitor 540 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 5: and see the results here. Wow, this is really interesting. 541 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 5: Yesterday there was an increase in my blood sugar level 542 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 5: by three point one points. Today with the Apple Sider vinegar, 543 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 5: it only went up one point five points. That is substantial. 544 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 2: Eventually, we're not gonna have to go to medical school. 545 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 2: None of us will have to go to medical school. 546 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 2: Like there won't be any e for medical research or 547 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 2: studies because people are doing it on themselves for clicks. 548 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 2: You ever hurt this guy ron or like you've ever 549 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: this justin guy with the Gluecoast monitor.

He's 551 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: always referencing it, but I don't know if there's a 552 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: brand associated with it. But he just does this. He 553 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 2: just every day he eats something different and does it. 554 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: Sometimes he'll do a control. Today, I'm gonna have white 555 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 2: bread on an empty stomach and see and then tomorrow 556 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 2: we're going to do the gluten free bread and see 557 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 2: if it spikes my blood sugar. 558 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 3: No, I've never heard of the guy, but it does 559 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 3: seem like we're more and more being influenced by people 560 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 3: with no medical expertise or credentials. Is that a good sign? Loop? 561 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 2: He has none, no medical credentials whatsoever. He's just literally 562 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 2: he goes grocery shopping and he's got an iPhone. 563 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 3: Who's our HHS secretary again, Bobby Kennedy.
