1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 2: La Fires one year later, hosted by Michael Monks. It 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: starts tomorrow at seven. It's been a year and there's 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: still lots of discussion and not a clear path forward 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 2: and so many angles to this should be an amazing special, 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 2: but lots of talk about. Of course, there's Venezuela. This 7 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: is his three of January sixth, And then there is 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: the crisis in the pizza industry. The pizza industry is changing. 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 2: According to the Wall Street Journal, technology has messed it up. 10 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 3: Economic pressures i e. 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 2: The cost of materials to make a pie has messed 12 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: it up. And the pizza places messed themselves up. They 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: got greedy. They charged it too much for toppings and 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: convinced you that you needed three toppings four toppings to 15 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: have a pizza. 16 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 4: Pizza h has been battling sinking sin for over a year, 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 4: and last month Papa John said cautious customers have been 18 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 4: downsizing to medium pizzas with fewer toppings and sides. 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 3: But then the cheese pizza become twenty three dollars. Twenty 20 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: three dollars for a cheese pizza. 21 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a couple of things going on wrong in 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: the pizza industry. We'll deal with the toppings and the 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: cost of an actual pizza in a moment, but first, 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: the technological challenges to the pizza industry is fascinating to 25 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: me because this is a one of those beautiful examples 26 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: bad for the industry, but it's one of those things 27 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: that you didn't see it coming. Like you're in an 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: industry and everything works, and the industry has its own 29 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: culture with its client base, and it's institutionalized, and something 30 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: changes and you never saw it coming. That's what happened 31 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: to the pizza industry. Think about it. Ordering a pizza, 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: that's all you have to say. It communicates an entire experience. 33 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Let's just order a pizza. What does that mean. I'm 34 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: too tired to cook, there's too much going on, we're exhausted, 35 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: we're celebrating. 36 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 3: We're not gonna get out plates. 37 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 2: We're just gonna order a pizza and the pizza will 38 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: will be wonderful. 39 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 3: Right. 40 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: When you say we're just gonna order a pizza, that 41 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: says I'm throwing a party. That's not saying I'm downgrading 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: the menu. Right, We're not throwing in the. 43 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 3: Towel for dinner. 44 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: When you say we're gonna get a pizza, it's it's 45 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: an experience, and that's all you have to say. 46 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 3: And in everyone's mind, you know exactly what happens. Oh, 47 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: they're ordering a pizza. You know what's gonna happen. 48 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: A box is gonna come, maybe two boxes, and there'll 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 2: be some choices. 50 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 3: It'll be easy, peasy, lemon squeeze, It'll. 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: Be maybe plates, maybe not, maybe paper plates, maybe just 52 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: a paper towel. It'll be so comfortable and so convenient. 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: And you can dress up a pizza. You can dress 54 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: down a pizza. You can eat a slice of pie 55 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: and a tuxedo and you can feel perfectly appropriate, or 56 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: you can be in shorts. Right, the mindset of a 57 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: pizza coming has always been its. 58 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: Own beginning, middle, and end. 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: You order the pizza, the guy comes, it's on your table, 60 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: You flip the lid, and everybody enjoys, and the work 61 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: is done and you get back to what you were 62 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: doing for that evening, which was enjoying yourself. 63 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: You were so busy enjoying yourself you didn't want to 64 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: make dinner. 65 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: Well, technology ruined that because pizza kind of cornered the 66 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: market on the guy coming to the house. It hasn't 67 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: been that long since only the pizza guy came to 68 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: your house. Rarely did anybody else deliver food to the house. 69 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe Chinese food is a close set, but that's 70 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: only in parts of town, not everywhere. Right, Chinese food 71 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: delivery is not ubiquitous. Pizza box delivery ubiquitous everywhere everywhere 72 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: you go. And the apps, the delivery apps, just blew 73 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: that model up for the next generation of would be 74 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: pizza ordering people. Now people expect the exact meal that 75 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: they want. They they they door dash Sushi, they door 76 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: dash Kentucky Fried Chicken, they'll door dash McDonald's, they'll door 77 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 2: dash Taco Bell. 78 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: My son's door dash Taco Bell all the time. I 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 3: gotta get on them. 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: We have to do an accounting at the end of 81 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 2: the month because I'm not paying thirty four dollars for 82 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 2: a drive through order of Taco Bell, which is what 83 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 2: happened one of the nights during Christmas break. But people 84 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: when they want to order something literally start thinking in 85 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: their mind, what do I want in front of me? 86 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: Like I can have anything, I can literally have any 87 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: any of the food that's available that I could drive 88 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: to but don't want to, or I could have them 89 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: pick up something that's in a store. So people's expectations 90 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: expanded beyond just the pie and the pizza industry. They thought, look, 91 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: we're pizza, I mean, we are synonymous with delivery, so 92 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: we'll always be safe. And they got blindsided, and people 93 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: just stopped ordering a pizza because it's like, oh, I 94 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: could order a pizza or anything else in the world, 95 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 2: and suddenly pizza didn't sound so fabulous anymore. It sounded 96 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: like one of many, many other options. And since your 97 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 2: whole life you've had pizza delivered, why not try another option. 98 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: And that's really what's happened to the business. So that's 99 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: the technological impact the delivery apps. Then we got to 100 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 2: get into the price. Pizza has skyrocketed in price. Now 101 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: I do understand that wos that ella cheese is expensive. 102 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: Good wozzarella cheese is expensive, what you call mozzarella. But 103 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: the cheese has gotten worse. And you know how you 104 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: know the cheese has gotten worse. The cheese has gotten 105 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: worse because the cheese is dusty. When you go and 106 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: you see a pizza being made and the mozzarella. That 107 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: shreds don't stick together. They're covered in dust, and that 108 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 2: dust is cornstarch, and it's not good for you, and 109 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: it makes it taste terrible. 110 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 3: And that means you're getting a really bad grade of cheese. 111 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: And the pizzas have just become poor equality and they've 112 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: become smaller, and on top of that, they have ridiculously 113 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: increased the price of the toppings and convince you you 114 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: need to have like four toppings, as. 115 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 4: The national average for a large cheese pizza has grown 116 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 4: to nearly seventeen dollars, up twenty two percent in the 117 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: past five years. And that's before you add in any topping. 118 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: That's right, seventeen dollars average. That's NBC The Today Shows 119 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: merely Aikita. She did the special on the pizza war 120 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: that's going on. Stephan, When was the last time you 121 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: ordered a pizza delivered to your house? 122 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 5: I remember, I can't even remember now that it's been 123 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 5: that long, right, yeah, it's been a while. 124 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 6: Right. 125 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: So when I was your age, every week, once a 126 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: week a pizza was delivered to those same here, right, 127 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: once a week? I mean for sure, when you got 128 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 2: home from the promenade, in Santa Monica, you'd order pizza. 129 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: Guys are coming back to the house, order a pizza. 130 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: Sunday football, order a pizza. I mean there was pizza 131 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: in the house. I was a single guy living with 132 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: a roommate. I mean, pizza was delivered at least once 133 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: a week. Now, you can't remember the last time when 134 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: you ordered your last pizza? Was it a pizza or 135 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: was it a pizza with topping? 136 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: Uh? Definitely toppings? See yeah, how many about you too? 137 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: At minimum two? Probably two? Yeah, I think so. 138 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: I could probably count on one hand the amount of 139 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: times I've had two toppings, ordered two toppings on a pizza. 140 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: For me, a pizza was a pizza. You would order 141 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: a pizza and it would come and that's what you had. 142 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: Now you gotta get, you know, arugula and goat cheese 143 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 2: and sun dried tomato. What is a sun dried tomato? 144 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: It's already got tomato sauce on it. What do you 145 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: need a sun dried tomato on top of a tomato? 146 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: Right? I mean everybody? 147 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: And by the way, they charged toppings used to be 148 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: what ninety nine cents for a or free topping? 149 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: Right? 150 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: By two fifty three fifty four fifty per topping, sausage 151 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: and pepper, such a back six bucks on top of 152 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: the cost of the pizza. And so now the pizza 153 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: is in the high twenties for a single pie. 154 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,119 Speaker 3: And the pizza industry is going broke because people were saying. 155 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: You know, for twenty eight bucks plus delivery, we could 156 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 2: probably get some good sushi over here. So the Wall 157 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 2: Street Journal did a big, big story in this, and 158 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: we'll continue with it. 159 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 160 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 3: Thank you for tuning in. Good to have you along 161 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: with us. 162 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: The pizza industry is changing, no question about it, and 163 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 2: major pizza chains are either shutting down, closing down stores, 164 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 2: or revamping their offerings. Smaller chains are trying different kinds 165 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 2: of things, but everything is getting smaller. 166 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: This is Lauren Paddleford. He is with the app Slice. 167 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 7: Everyone still wants to order pizza, they're just changing the 168 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 7: ordered style. You definitely see a shift in size. You 169 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 7: see people ordering smaller pizzas they're reducing in some cases 170 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,359 Speaker 7: the topping. 171 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: Count, reducing the topping count. That's an understatement that I 172 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: make Mark, I'm great for pizza. Now you're written now 173 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 2: it's on your mind, right, I'm dying here. When was 174 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: the last time you had pizza delivered to your home? 175 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: I can't remember. 176 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 5: I usually pick it up, but I get it at 177 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 5: least every week or two. We just had some Saturday night, 178 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 5: and it costs like twenty nine dollars for four pieces 179 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 5: of pizza. 180 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 3: That's it. There you go? Was it fu fuu pizza? 181 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: I mean you had like a rugel and goat cheese, 182 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: cranberries or a normal pie. 183 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 5: No, it was a little higher quality than your Dominoes 184 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 5: and that kind of thing. It was pretty good, but 185 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 5: twenty nine dollars for four pieces is insane. 186 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: It's insane. 187 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: And by the way, Dominoes will be in the twenties. 188 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: I mean, yes, I'm sure what you had was higher 189 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 2: quality than Dominoes, but Dominoes is not cheap. 190 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: There's nothing cheap about that. 191 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing that pizza is generally like a 192 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 5: low overhoo head type of food, which is why you 193 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 5: know you here. Service workers who work at pizza places, 194 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 5: they can't do trade outs with people who work in 195 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 5: places that serve meat. Pizza is not an expensive thing 196 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 5: to make, but the costs are just nuts. Now, for 197 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 5: some reason, and they're. 198 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 3: Paying the price. 199 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: This is the problem they I don't know if theies 200 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: got greedy or the delivery costs just became expensive because 201 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: of the cost of fuel. 202 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but. 203 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 2: I mean I remember just even if you think of college, 204 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: just the dorm rooms and the amount of Domino's boxes 205 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: that were stacked in the corridors come Monday morning. I mean, 206 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: it was an inexpensive way to get a quick snack. 207 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 2: It is not inexpensive anymore. The quality of domino I 208 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: will say this for Dominoes, it's consistent. A pizza you 209 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: get from Dominos today it's exactly like the one that 210 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: I bought in nineteen eighty six. 211 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 3: At the university. So it is consistent. 212 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: But it is it is much more expensive, and the 213 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 2: toppings have gone through the roof, and now people are 214 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 2: used to other options on the app and have decided, 215 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: you know, if I'm going to spend thirty dollars, why 216 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 2: just get a Pepperoni pizza. 217 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: I can get something more interesting. There's all these choices. 218 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 5: I do have to take issue with your one topping thing. 219 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 5: I think that that's anti American. You need multiple toppings. 220 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: Looke just. 221 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: When that's a that's a big fight in my house too, 222 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 2: because my wife used to work for California Pizza Kitchen. 223 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: Oh so okay, no, not bad at all. 224 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: They just sold, by the way, the original they were 225 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: originally owned. The two guys that started that owned it 226 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: for the longest period of time. 227 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: And they just sold it. 228 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: But even there because it's a sit down pizza restaurant, 229 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 2: so that's a that's a restaurant experience, but it's based 230 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: on pizza, and the prices there are expensive too, So 231 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 2: she's into all the different toppings and I'm a I'm 232 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 2: a pretty standard guy, so you don't. 233 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 8: Like any toppings that you just like a cheese pizza. 234 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 2: So it's not called the cheese pizza. It's not called 235 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: just the cheese pizza. It's called a pizza. So it's 236 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: a pizza. Then it's a pizza with sausage. It's a 237 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: big fight that we have. Nomenclature is a big deal 238 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 2: in my life. Lou Penrose rule number four. Words matter. 239 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: So when they order pizza, they say, you just want cheese, 240 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 2: and it drives me insane. That is what a pizza is. 241 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 2: That's the starting block. 242 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 8: We don't have those in Australia, we have margarita's which 243 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 8: is cheese and tomato. 244 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that's not as good. 245 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're in Rome, you want to do that, 246 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: but like a smushed up tomato and that green leaf, 247 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 2: it's not a winner. 248 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 3: It's not what you want. 249 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 2: I mean, if you go into a high end restaurant 250 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: and ordering what we call a pundanza, which is a 251 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: pizza for one, like a small four inch or eight 252 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: inch pizza, you may want to try the margarita, but 253 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: it's like your art. 254 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a tart.

And guess 373 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 2: what now there's a magic pill. 374 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 10: No vote nor disc maker of weight loss treatment we 375 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 10: Go V is now selling a pill version of the 376 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 10: medication in the US starting at one hundred and forty 377 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 10: nine dollars a month on month. 378 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 3: That's cheaper than my lifetime membership. 379 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: So there is a pill and it's comparable with the 380 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: gym memberships. I'm not sure where this is going to go, 381 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 2: but I will say this, at one forty nine a month, now, that's. 382 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,719 Speaker 3: The teaser rate. The way this goes. 383 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 2: And I don't take this pill, but I know people 384 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 2: that do this, and the way it works is the 385 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 2: teaser rate is the first month. The first month, whether 386 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 2: you do with the injections or the pill, the first month, 387 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: nothing really happens to you. It's just basically to get 388 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: your body used to the very lowest dose available to 389 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 2: make sure that you don't have any any side effects. 390 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 2: It doesn't like really rip up your stomach that you're 391 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 2: a candidate for it. So the first month is nothing, 392 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 2: and that's why it's so cheap, and then they step 393 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 2: it up and then they really ding it. Now you know, 394 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: the next month you're in the four hundreds and if 395 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: you're still a fat bastard to that, you got to 396 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: go up the next level and then that goes up 397 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: in price. 398 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 3: So that's how they get you. 399 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: But if people are, you know, getting thinner, that's a 400 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 2: good thing. And if now it's in the form of 401 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: a pill, that's a good thing. And like everything else, 402 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: over time, like right now, it used to be like 403 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: thirteen hundred dollars and only movie stars were able to 404 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 2: cheat and get thin by taking the shot, and now 405 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: it's down. Well, you know, the teaser rate is one 406 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: forty nine, but it's probably around five hundred dollars a month, 407 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: and it's in the form of a pill, and you 408 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 2: really don't even need a doctor like or anything. It's 409 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: a complete I guess there's some doctor on the payroll somewhere, 410 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: but nobody ever sees them and it all. 411 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: Comes in the mail. 412 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: So as time goes by, these things tend to become 413 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 2: less expensive over the years, which means they'll be more 414 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 2: affordable to more and more people. 415 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 10: Higher doses will be available for two hundred and ninety 416 00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 10: nine dollars a mon. 417 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, see that.
