And I was super lucky in the 69 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 2: news business. I was always in the union shop, so 70 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: I was never allowed to touch edit equipment. I was 71 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: never allowed to shoot anything, or light myself for that matter. 72 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: So when I started this, I had to learn everything. 73 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: I had to figure out how to light this thing? 74 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: How do I bury the camera at Home Goods in 75 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: their pasta section without somebody coming by?

Well? 172 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: Well, I do how I feel. And it's funny. A 173 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: lot of stuff ends up on the cutting room floor. 174 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: A lot of today's reel didn't see the light of day. 175 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: But I was in Walmart and I was like, this 176 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: is going to be great. I'm going to hop in 177 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: here and I'm going to do this and I'm going 178 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: to do that, and it's like, I get how when 179 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: I start editing it, I'm like, none of. 180 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: That makes sense. You understand pacing, you understand camera angles. 181 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's they're very cinematic. They're very short, 182 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: but they're cinematic and they're fun. 183 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: Thank you. 184 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: All right. So look, according to your social media, it 185 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: looks like you know your way around Costco a little bit. 186 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: And I think laurel Ion Rory would love Costco. They 187 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: would love the food Core, the giant snacks. What snacks 188 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: do you find irresistible and served in bulk at Costco 189 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: that you think laurel Ion Rory would buy. The Red Vines, Yeah, 190 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: the red not the Twizzlers. The red Vine. 191 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, the really gigantic one. We can't even make it 192 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 2: through our family till they get really hard. I think 193 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: they I think they blow through those at night. The 194 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: red vines are are a. 195 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: Great uh huh. So okay, so my character Luke, all right, 196 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: I don't think he would enjoy Costco as much. Really, 197 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: So what are your Costco hacks on how to spend 198 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: his little money and as little time as you can 199 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: in that store? 200 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: Well, Costco, So you're the point you just made was 201 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 2: a good one. The longer you're in Costco, the more 202 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: you're going to spend. And I don't mean that in 203 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: a trait like, oh that makes sense, No, no, no, The 204 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 2: Costco has this down to a science. You spend the 205 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 2: every minute you're in Costco, they know exactly how much 206 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 2: you're spending. So the longer you're in Costco, that's really 207 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: the problem for your budget. If you don't hit Costco 208 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: with the list, you're going to be screwed. I'm going 209 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: to be honest. Do not try the samples. Don't try 210 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: the samples. If you take a sample on site, you 211 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 2: were up to sixty eighty percent more likely to buy 212 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: it that day. Walk past the samples although they look great. Okay, 213 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: So that is the biggest one, because I do get 214 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: home with one or two things and I'm like, what 215 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 2: was I thinking? Like it just happened. Happened last time. 216 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 2: That even happens to me because Costco is an experience. 217 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: It's kind of like Disneyland in a way. They've figured 218 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: out they keep stuff moving. They're constantly moving stuff, so 219 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: you kind of need to be on a mission. So 220 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: your oat milk that Luke might have needed for the diner, 221 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: you seem healthier than you know, Laura, l and Rory. 222 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: It's in a different spot this week than it was 223 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: last week. And I think those are the things to know. 224 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 2: They are constantly they Costco is your friend. It is 225 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: a good deal that they're gaming you. Costco is a game. 226 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 2: So if you hit Costco and you kind of tell yourself, 227 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: I'm going to beat him at this game this week, 228 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: then you're good. So I kind of see it like 229 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: a game. I mean, we go in, we go in 230 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 2: and we're on a mission. We are on a mission, 231 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 2: and do you really need the whole thing of chips? 232 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 2: Are you going to eat those in time? It's like 233 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 2: so we've really had to have conversations where I say 234 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: we me and my family because my second daughter is 235 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: a fantastic consumer. She loves loves buying, and it's just 236 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: very they set things in the right spot. What you know. 237 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 2: I love Costco because they like to act like they're 238 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: all cool, right, that's the vision they give you, like 239 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 2: everyone wants to belong to Costco. They're pretty sneaky. Costco 240 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: is incredibly sneaky and they get you to open that wallet. 241 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: So I would say the Costco brands are amazing. Costco 242 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: brands are almost always made by a bigger name brand, right, 243 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: whether it's shampoo, diapers, those are two huge ones. Huge. 244 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 2: They never want to come out and say it. Their 245 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: coffee is a home run. Used to have a deal 246 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: with Starbucks. That deal has gone away. They still offer 247 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: Starbucks coffee and then you might care about this because 248 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: of your coffee business. But they are now paired up 249 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: with the folks that are kind of the clearing house, 250 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: if you will, for the peats like the higher end. 251 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 2: So if anything, the coffee Costco has has gotten better. 252 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: So the bottom line with Costco is by the Kirkland brand. 253 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: It's surely made by someone pretty high up. 254 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: I actually like the Kirkland golf balls. 255 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: I'm sure you do. I'm sure they're made. I'm sure 256 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 2: I've not looked into this, but I bet they're titleist. 257 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: They're not bad, They're good. 258 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, yes. 259 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: I know their vodka. Their vodka is like, why would 260 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: you spend the money on, you know, the gray Goose 261 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 2: when you go buy their American vodka? Right, that's what 262 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 2: they call it, American vodka. 263 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: All right? So all right, if you were to give 264 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: Luke some of your lurified advice, what would you suggest 265 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: when it comes to food prep, shortcuts or must have 266 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: ingredients given the diner menu? 267 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: Well, I would say on the ingredients, just keep it simple. 268 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 2: Salt and pepper. There's nothing sexier than salt and pepper 269 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: in a little bit of garlic. And I think Luke 270 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: has nailed that right. I don't think you have to 271 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: get all all, you know, tied up. My dad owned 272 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 2: a chain of restaurants, and first thing they would do 273 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 2: in those restaurants before the burgers hit the grill, salt 274 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 2: and pepper, the grill boom, meat goes down, right, That's 275 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: how these season the meat. So any home home cook, 276 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: that's kind of the secret. There's nothing fancy going on. 277 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: Just salt, pepper the grill, then throw your meat down. 278 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: But Luke's already got that down. I feel confident about it. 279 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: I think another thing would be don't don't on the 280 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 2: bread front, right, I think a lot of folks don't 281 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: know you can freeze bread. Really, I don't have any 282 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 2: bread I I you maybe might know, but I don't 283 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 2: have any bread in my house that isn't frozen. The 284 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: minute I buy it and get it home, I will 285 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: double wrap it, just make sure it's protected by two layers, 286 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: and then I freeze it. And I freeze it. You 287 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: pull that puppy out within thirty minutes. The bread is 288 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: as fresh as the day about it. So that's another 289 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: great tip for Luke, so you're not toss and bread. 290 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 3: I like that, Yes, like that. 291 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: And some studies have shown I'm not a doctor. I'm 292 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: not a doctor. Some studies have shown if you freeze 293 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: the bread then thought it has a lower glycemic index. 294 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: And if you go on to toast that frozen bread 295 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 2: even lower glacemicgan Wow, that salt pepper frozen bread. 296 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: I love it all right. Summer's coming, okay, and I 297 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: know I'm going to be spending plenty of time outside grilling, 298 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, from the family and my friends. Let's talk 299 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: about how barbecue. How to barbecue on a budget. How 300 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: do you do it? 301 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: Well, we did a great piece on this last year 302 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: at Trader Joe's eight people, sixty bucks hot dogs, hamburgers, salad, dessert. 303 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: You have to figure out what really does cost you 304 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: less to buy it, right, So we did the numbers 305 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: on the potato salad time money ingredients on the potato salad, 306 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: which take a lot of wacky ingredients you may not 307 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: have like celler receied or dill or something like that 308 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 2: cheaper to buy it. So you just need to kind 309 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: of figure out what you're going to buy and what 310 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: you actually want to make. We made the salad obviously 311 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 2: formed our own burgers, spiralized the hot dogs. You can 312 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 2: take a don't want to say cheap. You can take 313 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 2: a budget friendly hot dog, cut that in a spiral shape, 314 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 2: skewer it and it grills up so great. If you've 315 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: not done that, have you done that where you've stuck 316 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: your hot dog and a skewer then cut it in 317 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: a spiral. Oh my word, it changes and changes any 318 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: hot dog on the grill, any hot dog. 319 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: I am going to do that, and I am going 320 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: to give you the credit. 321 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: Well, when you put your ketchup mustard, relish whatever. Then 322 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: it stays in the little grooves of the hot dog. Say, 323 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: it's not slid en off. So it's actually makes it 324 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: taste better because you get better coverage of the grill. 325 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: But then you also have the little the little things. 326 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: But I'd say when you're doing a budget, just assess 327 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: what is cheaper to actually pick up, like a thing 328 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: of a thing of cupcakes, a sheep cake from Walmart, 329 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 2: cheaper than probably trying to whip that up. Right, focus 330 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: on the things. People come to the grill for the meats. Okay, 331 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: you know, Brian, Brian, your chicken and pickle juice, right right, 332 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: that's a big one.
