1
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to season two premiere of Talking Coffee.

2
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: We're Talking to Coffee.

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Finally joining me as always are Lauren and Derek.

4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: Hi, guys, Hi, I see hello.

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 3: Very exciting to be back.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: I would say I missed you, but like I didn't

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: because we talked all the time.

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 4: And yes, is really much of a hiatus, to be honest,

9
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 4: it was a break for the listeners.

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got the hiatus.

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: We've been recording new off the Cup episodes. This is

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: this is our first Talking Coffee and if people don't know,

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: we've added a talking politics.

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, super excited.

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's like a we're It's like a little

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: empire we've got over here. Yeah, it is, which suits

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 1: me really well. I've always wanted an empire, and.

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 5: This empire runs on Duncan.

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: This empire does run on Duncan.

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 4: I was gonna say it should have been a coffee empire,

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: but at least it's part in the fold.

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: A coffee empire or a glasses empire is what I

23
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: should be in the business doing. Alas but as always,

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: and actually more so this season than last, we really

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: want to hear from you, so I want to talk

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: about things that matter to you, whether it's coffee related

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: or politics related, mental health related.

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: Now that we have free.

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: Pods, essentially, it's just so much more real estate where

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: we can talk about so many things.

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: So I really want to hear from our listeners.

Speaker 1: political takes.

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: This is a community. It's an empire first, a community second.

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: Okay, And they should share their own coffee news, like

42
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: do you are you? Do you want to break some

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: coffee news in your local market. Yes, this is the

44
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: place for that.

45
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: That's happening. And today we're gonna start a little different.

46
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: I have coffee news, I have lots of coffee news,

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: but I wanted to start and I'm hoping to do

48
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: more of this with some coffee questions like a trivia no,

49
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: not like a quiz like because it's early, Yeah, it

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: is no like something to think.

51
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: About to chew on this meaty I like it. Yeah,

52
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: it's meaty.

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: It's a full bodied This is a.

54
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: Full bodied episode. I like that a lot. I like

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: that a lot. Okay, let's get right into it. The

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: first I was thinking, what could we brand this? M m,

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: it's not something to chew on, it's something to sip on. Okay,

58
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: to sip on this.

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 5: If you're chewing something has gone horribly wrong.

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: Right exactly exactly, Okay, sip on this.

61
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: What sitcoms do you think did the most for coffee

62
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: and coffee drinking? Mmm?

63
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 6: I mean Friends comes immediately because you know they have

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 6: I think Friends has.

65
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: To be number one.

66
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, in terms of like the park hang.

67
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: The hangout is so central, the big mugs became iconic.

68
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: I think it became sort of a status symbol.

69
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: Whatever the version.

70
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: Of like the nineties yuppie was. It included spending a

71
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: lot of time in a coffee shop, you know, with

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: your friends, and the economy was great. Apparently we had

73
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: all the time to just sit around at coffee shop.

74
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: I know when we did.

75
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: It really was reflective of life, good times. Yeah, yeah,

76
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: all around. So I agree with you, But there's some

77
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: others here that you might think give Friends a run

78
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: for its money.

79
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: So I don't know if this qualifies as a sitcom,

80
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: but I would say Twin Peaks and Dale Cooper agent

81
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 4: Dale Cooper and his black coffee, like.

82
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: Okay, to have had an impact.

83
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: Like his whole thing was coffee, and like that morning

84
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 4: cup of coffee. It was so he made the ritual, Yes,

85
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: feel like you identified with the ritual. Whether you took

86
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 4: it black or not, it didn't matter. It was like

87
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 4: that first.

88
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: Sip of coffee, Like he literally will take a sip

89
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: and go.

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: Ah, yes, he's a coffee advertisement.

91
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: It was a really good one. And that's a deep cut.

92
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: I like that.

93
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

94
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: I think a lot about Twin Peaks. Okay, I have

95
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: some others.

96
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't watch this, but I understand Gilmore Girls.

97
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: Oh I was gonna say, oh yeah, yeah for sure because.

98
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: Luke Steiner functions like a coffee shop, right, and there's

99
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: so much coffee central to their sort of like fast

100
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: talking yeah, the relationship.

101
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 4: Also, Yeah, Rory as a teenager drinks a lot of coffee,

102
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: like it's part of her personality.

103
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: This wasn't taboo.

104
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 6: I guess it's it's kind of a signifier of her

105
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 6: like maturity, like like like she's.

106
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: I can see that.

107
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've like, like I said, I haven't watched

108
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: the show, but I'm very aware of what it is.

109
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: And we actually have a a.

110
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: House where Gilmore Girls was set, So there's like a

111
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls convention. Oh, yes, you're in this little town.

112
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: The house with the rattlesnake. Yeah, that's supposed to be

113
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 1: like stars Hollow, Starllow Hollow whatever.

114
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: I think it's.

115
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: I think also the coffee was like central to the

116
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: setting of like Cozy Connecticut.

117
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: New England.

118
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Okay, I have another one, and this I

119
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: watched the ship out of and I still watch a

120
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of the show when I'm like trying to fall

121
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: asleep Fraser.

122
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: Mmmm yeah, Seattle.

123
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: Oh them.

124
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of scenes where they are like kind

125
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: of fetishizing a complicated coffee order, or like where are

126
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: the beans from today?

127
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: Are they Ethiopian? You know, there's a lot of like

128
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: snobbery is captured by.

129
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: That show perfectly because they are the perfect vessels for

130
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: that kind of coffee snobbery.

131
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: Totally. So like that's another one.

132
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: I think about two that popped up on a couple

133
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: lists like that.

134
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: Now I've got one more, which should be obvious to everyone.

135
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I'm not.

136
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: I'll give you a.

137
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: Minute, because we've we've made this reference several times on

138
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: talking coffee.

139
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: You give us a hint. Besides that, besides that hints.

140
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: Okay, it's an ninety sitcom.

141
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 4: Oh oh oh oh Seinfeld, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

142
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 4: that's true.

143
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: So think about it. Monk's cafe central to you know,

144
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: these people's lives. It's a place where, like so much

145
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: observation took place over Kramer's coffee lawsuits. Yes, right, Cramer's

146
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: caffeine fixes. There are a couple of episodes where either

147
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: Kramer's hopped up on caffeine, Jerry's hopped up on caffeine.

148
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: H it's the coffee shop, the coffee experience.

149
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 4: Again like a destination, and all those places are like

150
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: where all the references we have besides Dale Cooper, I guess,

151
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: are like, yeah, having coffee with others in person. You know,

152
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: obviously that's a setup for a sitcom. You need to

153
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: be in person, you need that. But but with Dale,

154
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: he's never alone sipping that coffee. He's having that moment

155
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: in front of a waitress or in front of of

156
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: his like, uh, local police.

157
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: Counterpart, so it's still a shared experience.

158
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 5: But I like this.

159
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: I think in that in that setting, it's central to

160
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 1: his character and that's part of his character development and others.

161
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: It's a conceit, you know, used to get people in

162
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: one place to just sit there and do nothing really,

163
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: which was perfect for Seinfeld. You know, there's an episode

164
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: where he and Lane are talking like, do you want

165
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: to go do something?

166
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: Okay? Do you want to go eat? Well, I'm not hungry. Okay,

167
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: do you want to just go sit and have coffee?

168
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: I want sure?

169
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: You know, like, yeah, it gives them.

170
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: An opportunity to sit and do nothing and just talk,

171
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: which would be boring otherwise, but coffee's there, so it

172
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: makes sense.

173
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: And Kreamer is a good like he feels.

174
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 4: He seems like a character that represents a highly caffeinated

175
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 4: human being.

176
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: Yes's embodied For some.

177
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: He should have gone down to decaf probably.

178
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I love that question, and that's so fun

179
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: our listeners to weigh in if we didn't mention something

180
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: that they thought of. And also, what like recent show? Yeah,

181
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: because I don't watch like a ton of recent TVs,

182
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: so that'd be good too.

183
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, question two.

184
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: You say you love coffee, but where's the place you

185
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: don't ever want coffee or almost never have coffee.

186
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 3: It's a riddle.

187
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: No, John's mom is also John's sister.

188
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 3: That is fascinating.

189
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: I have one to maybe get started.

190
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't ever really want coffee at the beach now,

191
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Anne dunk and bringing.

192
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: It to the beach is a.

193
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: Thing we do, but I don't love it because when

194
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: you're just out in the sun, it just melt so fast. Yeah,

195
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: it gets watery, it gets sand on it. Yeah, it's

196
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: just not I know, what's the thing people do in

197
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: New England.

198
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: It's not a thing I like to do. I don't

199
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: want my coffee at the beach.

200
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's a good call.

201
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

202
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: I do love coffee on long drives, but the amount

203
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: of time I will have to stop and pee exactly

204
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 4: after drinking the coffee is always like a little disappointed.

205
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: It's a trade off. It's a trade off.

206
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 4: You really have to weigh how much you need and

207
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 4: it's usually a second cup for me, so it's like,

208
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 4: how much do I really need this?

209
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: Because again it's out of boredom.

210
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 4: We were like, I'm kind of bored, Like maybe we

211
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 4: should get a coffee so I can start like I

212
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 4: need a coffee.

213
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to get something to eat. Yeah, yeah,

214
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: but I want something.

215
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 4: I want to consume something, or if I was about

216
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: to go in a long hike, also not a great

217
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: time for a coffee.

218
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, we heard that from Mark two plus.

219
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: He started hiking and it was like coffee was no

220
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: longer conducive.

221
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: Do a long day in the woods.

222
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 4: That's a fantast sick reference. Yep, what about you, Derek, Yeah, I.

223
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 5: Think similar to hiking, maybe the gym, you know.

224
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: I yes, I feel like people do that. Though, really

225
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 4: I feel like people do that. I mean back when

226
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: I went to the gym, it was the first thing

227
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 4: in the morning. I didn't bring one because I wanted

228
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 4: to savor that for later. Yeah that was four hours exactly.

229
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 4: But yeah, I definitely sat people with coffee at the gym.

230
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: That's a good one, terrible idea.

231
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't ever want coffee at the movies at the

232
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: movie theater.

233
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's likely to do something else.

234
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: That's a diet coke.

235
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 6: Yes, I did order a coffee at the Alamo Draft House,

236
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 6: and because you know, you can get food there.

237
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, I actually agree with you.

238
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 6: It wasn't the best You couldn't. It's hard to it's

239
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 6: hard to like savor coffee in the dark. It's like,

240
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 6: I don't know, there's something about it.

241
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 2: It's a weird feeling.

242
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 3: Yeah.

243
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: And similarly, I don't want to get up and have

244
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: to leave the movie. And you know, I don't need

245
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,359
Speaker 1: to be hopped up while watching a movie.

246
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to be kind of relaxed.

247
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 4: I will add to that. Airplanes, and we've talked about

248
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: this before, but only because they're bad.

249
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

250
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the coffee I would enjoy. I would enjoy coffee

251
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: on an airplane, except it's so bad.

252
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

253
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 4: Well, I also often feel so dehydrated if it's like

254
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 4: a long flight. I'm like, I need to just chug

255
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: some water here.

256
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: Yes, although we did debunk the myth that coffee is dehydrating.

257
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm still I feel my body rejects that idea.

258
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you still need water, you want water, I'm with you.

259
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,920

00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: that apparently.

321
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just more expensive than the second most

322
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: expensive cup of coffee, which you can find in Taiwan

323
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: at Simple Kufa for six hundred and thirty five US

324
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: dollars and they sell one.

325
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: Awake.

326
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean that's it.

327
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 4: That's how that cafe Surprise survives. I know.

328
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: That's completely insane.

329
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Under time, yeah, in the opposite direction, in the opposite

330
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: direction economy.

331
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: Shit over here, guys.

332
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: So, thirty four New York City Starbucks locations are closing.

333
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure you.

334
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 5: Saw one block away from my apartment the news.

335
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: Oh well I have and listen, they're shuddering stores all

336
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: around the country. And like I said, thirty four just

337
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: in New York City, that's a lot. I've got all

338
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: the addresses of all the stores.

339
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: But I don't think that will mean anything to most people.

340
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 5: But one of them means something to me because it's

341
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 5: my but ox with it.

342
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 6: Do we actually care about this though? Because Starbucks is

343
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 6: not the favorite, you know, it's not.

344
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: It's bad news for all coffee drinkers, I see, okay,

345
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: with between the tariffs and then the hike of the

346
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: cost of beans, it's just not good news for coffee drinkers. Yeah,

347
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: my fantasy one hundred and eighty dollars cup of coffee.

348
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 6: No for sure, No, yeah, you're ruining my fantasy that

349
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 6: When when I found out that the Starbucks is closing,

350
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 6: I just kind of assumed that some cooler coffee shop

351
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 6: was going to take its place, which that's what I hoped.

352
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 5: But maybe you're right. Maybe it's that's I mean.

353
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: One can absorb some of this economic pain. It would

354
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: be a giant chain like a Starbucks. And if they're

355
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: we're saying listen, we need to like lean lean down

356
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: and you know, adjust to this market.

357
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's great news for mom.

358
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 4: And pops, you know, so true, it's really not great

359
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 4: for it. I mean I can't even imagine how many

360
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 4: employees they have just in New York.

361
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 2: That really sucks.

362
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, it's.

363
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: Gonna lay off nine hundred workers across the country.

364
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's rough. Maybe they just like boom, this is there.

365
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: Listen, we can say like Starbucks was bloated, there were

366
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: Starbucks for too many places. Maybe yeah, yeah, Again, it's

367
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: not about Starbucks as much as it is about the

368
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: fate of our coffee. To that end, my next coffee

369
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: news story is not good. Costco's coffee will keep going

370
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: up in price. Oh, if you're new to Costco, you

371
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: may go down the coffee aisle and find a three

372
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: pound tin of coffee for twenty three ninety nine and

373
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: think to yourself, that's a pretty solid deal. It amounts

374
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: to only eight dollars a pound. However, if you've been

375
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: buying coffee from Costco for the last few years.

376
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: You know how good it used to be pre pandemic.

377
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: That same tin was nine, nine, nine or thirty three pound.

378
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: That whoa huge that's a huge markup.

379
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: The sad fact is that twenty three to ninety nine

380
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: is most likely the cheapest it will be for a while.

381
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: And it's not just Costco. And they say tariffs are

382
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: part of the equation. Coffee prices have left up twenty

383
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: point nine percent in the past year, and that price

384
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: increase started before the tariffs even took place, so it's

385
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: not just the tariffs. The tariffs are insults on top

386
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: of injury.

387
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: The prices were.

388
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: Already going up, so it's not great. It's not great.

389
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: No, Is that been inflation, an inflation issue or even

390
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 4: something else?

391
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean part of the coffee bean issue, which

392
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: is very complicated. It's mostly about droughts in Vietnam and

393
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: Brazil and oh some other places. About it's climate change, weather, yeah,

394
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: that sort of thing which made it more expensive, and

395
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: then the economy and the resk, you know, inflation and

396
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: tariff's like no, it's a perfect storm of badness.

397
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 4: Oh no, I will say, my favorite New York City

398
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 4: cart guy on the corner of fifty fifth and sixth Avenue,

399
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 4: continues to be a dollar fifty for a small small

400
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: cup of coffee.

401
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: So maybe he's yeah, tarraf resistant those coffee carts. Who knows.

402
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: Maybe, I'm sure.

403
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 4: I'm sure that it was a dollar like pre pandemic,

404
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: but you know, fifty cents is a pretty reasonable mark cup.

405
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, uh, okay, moving on this, coffee expert tested

406
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: forty k cups. Here are the five pods i'd put

407
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: in my cureing. These are some good ones and some

408
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: interesting ones. No one will be surprised to know that

409
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: the mecafe Premium Roast pod is in the top five.

410
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: No one on this show, that's for sure. No one

411
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: on this show.

412
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: He said, I didn't expect to like the mcafe Premium

413
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: Roast as much as I do. I should have seen

414
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: McCafe coming, despite other popular roasters disappointing in K cup form.

415
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: My father's also sung the praises of McDonald's coffee for

416
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: some time, although his interest lies mainly in this senior discount.

417
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, we know that everyone loves McDonald's coffee, loves it,

418
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: and we did our taste test.

419
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: It's pretty good.

420
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, pretty good.

421
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: I've seen these, I've had these for a time. The

422
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: Donut Shop, the original Donut Chop coffee.

423
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: Have you seen that?

424
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a little a little

425
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: donut on the top.

426
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I don't know this one.

427
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: Kahawa eighteen ninety three Safari Blend.

428
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: It's apparently a really good one.

429
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: Newman's Own Newman's Own Organic Special Blend makes the top five.

430
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: Newman's Own Can't Do yeah.

431
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: Also, no, all my profit profits don't go to charity again.

432
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: And then finally, Caribou coffee. We know Caribou coffee your

433
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: daybreak blend a light roast. So if you've got any

434
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: of those five in your K cup collection, you're doing okay.

435
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 5: Nice.

436
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 3: Something this person said in the beginning made.

437
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: Me feel like the CA cup is a lesser than

438
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 4: version of an original?

439
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: Do you you're a big cakeup drinker.

440
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: Lesser than like like, it's of course better to get

441
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: it fresh.

442
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, so you're saying said something about like the

443
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 4: CA cup version disappointed, you know, like acknowledging that the

444
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 4: CA cup version is a different taste than if you

445
00:22:59,320 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 4: brewed your own.

446
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: I think, unless you're doing fancy things to your coffee,

447
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: like you want foam, you want the like. To me,

448
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: it tastes the same. You know, I do dunk and

449
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: I do n espresso and espresso. I can't judge against anything.

450
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: It's great. The Duncan Cacus taste like Duncan.

451
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not very different for me. Yeah.

452
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 6: Well, and see I can vouch because when I was

453
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 6: at your house recording your interview with your.

454
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 5: Husband, you sent me home with one and it tasted great.

455
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: Right, so I don't maybe some are less than and listen,

456
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's always better to have a professionally made

457
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: cup of coffee. But like also, it's not that difficult coffee.

458
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: We should not overcomplicate it. It should be just fine

459
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: in our homes, especially in this economy. I should be

460
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: making it at home absolutely, Okay, listen to what I found.

461
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: This was not a coffee news finding this.

462
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: I was just on Instagram and I came across a

463
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: coffee shop in Rhode Island called Breualogy Coffee and Lounge Mouthful. Okay,

464
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: it's in Smithfield, Smithfield, but there's a new location coming

465
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: to Cranston which will make my husband happy. They are

466
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: offering I don't know what this is for split cup

467
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: iced coffees.

468
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 3: Hmmm, I don't get it.

469
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 5: So the milk is separate on.

470
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: One side, cups in one mm hmmm, split down the middle,

471
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: so you could have one kind of coffee iced coffee

472
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: and another kind of iced coffee in the other half.

473
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 4: Why then the tops must be specialty too, right, Like

474
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 4: how do you drink they are?

475
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: They are completely split with two straw holes.

476
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 6: Two you wouldn't want to like lift it like that,

477
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 6: I would spill everywhere.

478
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: Probably not probably got some engineering issues. But I'm also

479
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, like, have I ever gone in and

Speaker 2: No, but what would I want to?

485
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, maybe you could do one decap and one

486
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 4: not I guess if you were in that era.

487
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,280

00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that. I think it's a fun novelty,

490
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: but like, I'm not really sure what it's for.

491
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe they have like really specialty coffee is iced coffees,

492

Speaker 4: people wanted, and maybe whatever town in Rhode Island, Smithfield.

494
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 6: It's yet another example of like, uh, our society today

495
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 6: just having too many choices. You know, people don't even

496
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 6: want to mess. They don't even want to choose the

497
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 6: coffee that they're going to drink that day.

498
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,359

Speaker 1: I am sitting with like my face at the TV

523
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: in total silence, hanging on every word. I don't want

524
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: anyone in my room. This is something I do alone.

525
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: That's amazing. I don't even eat while I'm watching Bravo.

526
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,520

Speaker 1: Yeah, how who would watch anything that way?

528
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: I don't get it.

00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 5: I'm totally with you.

530
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 6: I'm so annoyed by this sort of multiple screen thing

531
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 6: changing the way that we watch like movies, TV shows, Like.

532
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 5: You should watch the thing.

533
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 6: I don't know if I totally agree that Bravo qualifies

534
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 6: as that, but like, you know, but like you know,

535
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 6: a story with a narrative, you want to pay attention,

536
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 6: you want to like really yeah, I know, but maybe sports,

537
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 6: you know, if two games are happening.

538
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: I try.

539
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 4: I've really tried to put my phone somewhere else when

540
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 4: I'm watching TV, even even like the random small thing

541
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 4: that I'm watching, because I'm like, what is the point.

542
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 4: And also like I've been trying to get off of

543
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 4: Instagram generally, and I think that has helped because I'm like,

544
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 4: oh well, I'm not even sure what I would look

545
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 4: at on my phone though, right, yeah, right, I know

546
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 4: what you mean.

547
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, We've got one of these. A map reveals

548
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: top cities for coffee drinkers based on shops and spending.

549
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 2: We've done a.

550
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: Lot of these, but this is a new one. It's

551
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: from Newsweek and the study was done by wallet hub. Okay, okay,

552
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: and it was released ahead of National Coffee Day, which

553
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: we just had and it looked at a hundred of

554
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: the most populated American cities across twelve key metrics including

555
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: the number of coffee shops, coffee houses and cafes per capita,

556
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: average coffee prices, and households spending on coffee, and each

557
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: city received a weighted score out of a hundred. Read

558
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: So this sounds very sciencey to me. This is not

559
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: a mattress company doing one of these studies. We've had

560
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: that before. So we've got our top ten care to

561
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: venture guesses.

562
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 4: I guess I would still say New York. It just

563
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: feels like there's a lot of coffee here.

564
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: It's not on the list. It's not in the top ten.

565
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 6: I mean, it sounds like it's got to be Dubai

566
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 6: right after what we said earlier.

567
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 3: Is it global or not US?

568
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: It's US?

569
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll go with the old favorites. Then Seattle.

570
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 2: Seattle's number five. Los Angeles it's not on this list. Miami,

571
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: Miami is number four. New Orleans.

572
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 4: No, I'm just going off of the literally what we

573
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 4: have said in the past.

574
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: Austin, did you say what did you say?

575
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: Oh, Boston, No, Austin, That's what I said.

576
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,959
Speaker 1: Austin, Texas is on the list. You're missing some big ones.

577
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 3: It's all getting muddled.

578
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't overthink it.

579
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, okay, impossible.

580
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 6: I'm already number one. Oh okay, Portlandrancis.

581
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:22,640

Speaker 1: two is Orlando, but I don't know why. Number three

585
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: is Long Beach, California. Number six is Tampa, number nine

586
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: is Oakland, California, and number ten is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

587
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: What was number three?

588
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,000

589
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: I don't or Orlando does not even count. But Portland,

590
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 4: I feel like, has topped all of the lists.

591
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Portland's a mainstay for all the reasons usually is

Speaker 5: Wow.

600
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: Just this last week. In a twenty six page federal indictment,

601
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: Patricia Johnson was charged with twenty four counts, including sixteen

602

606
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: The court documents said she ran ConA Coffee cafe, which

607
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: is sense closed, as well as an onlay store, conducted

608
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: sales on Amazon allegedly while she knew that the more

Speaker 1: she had purchased from wholesalers in Seattle and Oakland originally.

611
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: Came from South America, not ConA.

612
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: Oh how'd she get found out?

613
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: She falsely toil told employees and customers that the coffee

614
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: was grown on a local, private organic farm at high

615
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: elevation in the mountains. In ConA, federal agents seized over

616
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: eight hundred and thirty thousand dollars in cash after a

617
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:39,280

Speaker 2: I'm not sure how she was found out.

621
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 4: This doesn't say I would love for it to be

622
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 4: like a coffee connoisseur, like deal king and being like, yeah,

623
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 4: this is absolutely not grown from this organic farm. I

624
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 4: would love for it to be an instant job, where

625
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 4: like someone inside snitched, someone saw the pos the purchase orders,

626
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 4: someone came across some evidence of the Seattle coffee that.

Speaker 1: this movie where she goes in like wired into the

630
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: the whistleblower.

631
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that goes in my mind.

632
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that.

633
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: I like that.

634
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,479
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that was really dumb on her.

635
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 2: It was really dumb of her.

636
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I bet in Hawaii, the only US state

637
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: that can produce coffee, as we know, there is pressure

638
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: to to serve local, organic, especially coffee, Like, I bet

639
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 1: there's really high pressure to do that.

640
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: And she thought, well, I'll do it but cheaper. Yeah,

641
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: I'll do it.

642
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: I'll game the system. Yeah, never gained the system for

643
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 4: too long. This is not really news.

644
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 2: But you guys have heard of cat cafes.

645
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 5: M there's one in my neighborhood.

646
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh so I thought this was only a thing

647
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: in like Japan.

648
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 4: No, there's one in New Paltz, New York, where I

649
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 4: was the other weekend.

650
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we did not go in. And Derek, you

651
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 1: have one in your neighborhood in Queens, I do. Yeah.

652
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 6: I mean it's a very Asian neighborhood and maybe so

653
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 6: there is a connection there. But yeah, it's lovely. There's

654
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 6: all kinds of signs on the window that's like, do

655
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 6: not tap the windows right hitting the windows.

656
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: Well, that's one thing that worries me about a cat cafe.

657
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: I was just reading about a cat cafe in California

658
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: in Grover Beach. This one features adult cats and kittens

659
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: for adoption, and so there's like a lot of cats

660
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: in there that she's trying to place in forever home.

661
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 2: So there's a cause to it. But here's my here's

662
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: my issue, here's my question, my concern.

663
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: If you are allergic to cats, as I am very allergic,

664
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: you're and I don't feel like that's uncommon, that's pretty common.

665
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: You're really excluding a huge chunk of the population from

666
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: your bit, from your business, which I can.

667
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: Just choose not to go.

668
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: But as a business owner, that feels a little limiting.

669
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I guess it's just a choice you make.

670
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 4: Or maybe they're just like die hard cat fans. Well,

671
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 4: they clearly don't care. They don't care that I can't.

672
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: Go in there, which is fine, but I mean I

673
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: would die. I would die going into a cat cafe.

674
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: I would have to, like, you know it, hose down.

675
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure the thought of it.

676
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 4: My husband is also allergic, and just like the thought

677
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 4: like when we pass it, when we go to new policy,

678
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 4: he's always like, I'm gonna walk over it doesn't.

679
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: Even like, yeah, it's that for some of us, it's

680
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: really that bad. Yeah, And I don't know.

681
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: There's also my question of like do I want pets

682
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: where I'm eating and drinking.

683
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.

684
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I see it all the time

685
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: with dogs.

686
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 4: They're a little hair, they're little hair everywhere, Like, I

687
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 4: don't that's shed.

688
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 2: I mean, I know they're very sanitary animals.

689
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: I get that, but like there's a smell that comes

690
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: along with animals.

691
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just I don't know.

692
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: And I don't love the normalization of like bringing your

693
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: dog into the restaurant.

694
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I don't love that The cafe in my

695
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 6: neighborhood is not food forward. I think there is like

696
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 6: a vending machine. I've never actually been to the I

697
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 6: just like peered in, and I don't think they like

698
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 6: serve food. They just like have like some drinks you

699
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 6: can buy or whatever. But okay, okay, maybe there are

700
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 6: some that are like a more an actual cafe.

701
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 5: I don't know.

702
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you you must have seen this when you

703
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 4: went to Japan, Derek. My friends went to Japan over

704
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 4: the summer, and they reported back, like it does not

705
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 4: end with cats. There's a cafe for every small animal.

706
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 2: I've seen that too, just like there's cafe.

707
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

708
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 4: It's like, whoo, okay, really got a niche industry here.

709
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I forget allergies.

710
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny.

711
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 1: I mean, animals do. Like snuggling an animal really does

712
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: make you feel good. And there's lots of studies on that.

713
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: I've been sick and I can't tell if I got

714
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: it from my family or I'm giving it to my family.

715
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, but we all kind of tried to

716
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: stay away from each.

717
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: Other, and I was so like lonely and said that

718
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: I snuggled my dog because I can't give it to

719
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: my dog. I can't get anything from my dog. And

720
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: I was like, thank God for my dog. Yeah, because

721
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: I need snuggles right.

722
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: Now, all honey.

723
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I get it. I understand why it's a

724
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: draw for people. It's but there's there's just a barrier

725
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: for me of like, I don't animals and.

726
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: Food not a place I like to mix.

727
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah stuff, No, I think it's fair. Okay, coffee Mate

728
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: is back in the news. We remember we've had several

729
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: coffee Mate stories, not all good, some recalls.

730
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 2: One a white lotus.

731
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, coffee Mate Special Edition Pina Colada. Yeah, we've

732
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: got a new one. First of all, I wasn't aware

733
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: that this was a thing. They do this cold foam.

734
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: It looks like a can of whipped cream, but it's.

735
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: Creamer for your coffee.

736
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: But it it's I mean literally looks like whipped cream.

737
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and you put it on top and it

738
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: dissolves into your coffee and it's flavored. So it's like

739
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: a flavored cream, but like a dessert whip cream for

740
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: your coffee. The new so the existing flavors include Snickerdoodle,

741
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: Red Velvet, Peppermint, Mocha, frosted gingerbread and pumpkin spice. There's

742
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: a new flavor any anyone care to guess?

743
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 4: So you already mentioned pumpkin. Are we already getting into

744
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 4: like the holiday season?

745
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, yep, apple pie, cinnamon nutg.

746
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: What'd you say? Cinnamon, nutmeg, cinnamon, coffee cake, cold foam creamer? Okay, unnecessary?

747
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: That's discussing zero sugar? What not? A dairy? Gluten free?

748
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 2: What is it? Bolesterol free? What the hell is this?

749
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 4: It's just poison. It's just sweet poison. That sounds so disgusting.

750
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 2: It's not sugar and it's not dairy. What the fuck

751
00:39:58,440 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: is it?

752
00:39:58,840 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 5: Sorry?

753
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 3: No, truly, truly, I've.

754
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: Never been a fake creamer or person. I'm just gonna

755
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: suck it up and have the milk. Sometimes I go skim,

756
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: sometimes I go full fat, like.

757
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 2: But I'm always in milk.

758
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 5: Yeah.

759
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this just sounds I'm sorry, this is not.

760
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 4: It really feels like criminal, Like why even put that

761
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 4: on the market.

762
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 3: I just feel like we are, you.

763
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: Know, well, because people want I guess.

764
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 4: I mean, sure, if you put the if you put

765
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 4: the sweet thing out on the table, we will eat it.

766
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, but I've never even tasted it. Maybe

767
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: it's great, but to me, I just imagine it would

768
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: taste like chemicals.

769
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: Yes, and really ruined the coffee. But I can reach

770
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: their own.

771
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 4: Uh.

772
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 2: Okay, two more quick ones.

773
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: Someone, a CEO posited she can tell how successful some

774
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: one is based on their coffee order, and I'll tell

775
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: you it has nothing to do with the kind of

776
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: coffee they order.

777
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

778
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: CEO Cody Sanchez made waves for hot takes she shared

779
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: in a podcast interview. A clip in the interview posted

780
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: by a TikTok account. She says she can tell how

781
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: successful someone is by how they order coffee.

782
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 2: Guess what she's looking at.

783
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 5: Okay, so it's not the order, but it's.

784
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: It's it's not like the kind of coffee.

785
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, how much have anything to do with like what

786
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 6: is put inside it? Like, it doesn't have anything to

787
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 6: do with like the additions to milk or Okay.

788
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 2: No, would you say, Lauren, the cost of it? No?

789
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: The size, Nope, I don't know what else there is?

790
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 3: What?

791
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, the frequency with which they order at the time

792
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 6: of day.

793
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 2: No, you're getting closer. Wow, it's not time of day.

794
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I would have I guess that would

795
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 4: have been my next guest, like if it was like

796
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 4: how early in the morning.

797
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: No, yeah, okay, she says, show me how long it

798
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: takes you to order at the counter, and I will

799
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: show you your bank account.

800
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: Oh ooh. Interesting.

801
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: She goes on to recount a recent cafe experience in

802
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: which a lady in front of her took four centuries

803
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: to place her order. She begins my positing that a

804
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: speedy coffee order is a reflection of efficient decision making

805
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: at large, then goes as far as to say that

806
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: folks who take a long time to order their coffee

807
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: are really comfortable inconveniencing somebody else around them, which means

808
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: they have limited self awareness, maybe borderline narcissism. Love it,

809
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: I love I don't know this Gegi woman, I love

810
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: this hot ta okay.

811
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 6: But a willingness to inconvenience others sounds like a very

812
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 6: successful person to me. It sounds like some bosses I've had.

813
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: Yes, someone says, you could make the opposite case that

814
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: someone who deliberates and takes time is maybe going to

815
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: make a better decision than someone who just goes in quickly.

816
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: But I think what she's saying is like, how have

817
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: you not thought about this? How do you not know

818
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: what you want? Yeah, and if you're a busy CEO,

819
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: if you're a busy person, you want you know that

820
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: your time is your money. Time is the most expensive

821
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: thing you own, and so you want to shave off

822
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: all the time you can and these menial kind of interactions.

823
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 2: I think I'm with this lady. I think I'm with

824
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 2: this lady.

825
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

826
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: I like I'm an efficient person.

827
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think that makes sense to me. I

828
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 4: am also just like confused by the people who do

829
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 4: deliberate like do you just never get coffee? Do you

830
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 4: might know how you like coffee? Me?

831
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 3: I know, like what is it?

832
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 2: Were you distracted by the particular coffee shop? I don't

833
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 2: get it at all?

834
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I get like one thing, Yeah, I.

835
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 6: Mean it's I'm gonna take the other side on this one.

836
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 6: Because so there's a trend that's been happening lately that

837
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 6: is very annoying to me, which is a lot of

838
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 6: food places will have TV for like the menus is

839
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 6: like on a TV that's like constantly I changed.

840
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: My glasses to look at it.

841
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 6: So first of all, yeah, you have to like get

842
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 6: at the right location, like away from it, but also

843
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 6: like it's constantly changing, Like I'm always like, oh, they

844
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 6: just showed something and then you have to like wait

845
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 6: for it to.

846
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,479
Speaker 2: Like true even dunk. Yeah.

847
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't like that.

848
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe that is like making people take a longer

849
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 6: time because they just didn't get a good look at

850
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 6: the menu.

851
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, sure, I feel like this woman is talking

852
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 4: about I feel like this one is talking about your

853
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 4: average Yeah. Yeah, technically taken over coffee shop, but.

854
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 5: Well, fair enough. Yeah.

855
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: I have this complain with my husband, sorry John, When

856
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: we go to like order Chinese delivery, he wants to

857
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: look at the menu every time.

858
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 2: I'm like to always the same, No, we know what

859
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 2: we get. They're all the same.

860
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what where you're going, they're all the same.

861
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: They have all the same things. Some people I think

862
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 1: just like, ah, let me examine the options, the bounty

863
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: of my options. Yeah yeah, even though I know he's

864
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 1: I know exactly what he's going to order every single time.

865
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 2: I think that's sort of a and he's a successful person.

866
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: So maybe there's a personality trait of like, oh, let

867
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: me relax, examine all my options. Even though I know,

868
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to get.

869
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:41,479
Speaker 2: I think that's a personality trait.

870
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean that to me sounds like wanting

871
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 4: to be adventurous but ultimately being confined by what you ya.

872
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 4: I get overwhelmed by menus, so like I do kind

873
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 4: of go with what I or I'll like I'm a

874
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 4: big sharer, like.

875
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 2: What are you having?

876
00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 3: Let's have it together?

877
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the best way to dine.

878
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 2: I love menus. Menus are like my favorite thing for food.

879
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: I love a menu and I refuse to look at

880
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: a menu before I go to a restaurant. It's the

881
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: most exciting heart of my dinner is when I open

882
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 1: that menu.

883
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 6: You probably hate the QR code thing I hate when

884
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 6: a restaurant's like, I hate the hate that.

885
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's at a lot of hotels now they'll

886
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: just be like, order not from a person online with

887
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: this QR code and yeah yeah the last story, I

888
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: sent this to you already, but we did not share

889
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: our takes. We saved our takes, saved it because I

890
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that this is real truly.

891
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 2: Maxwell House.

892
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: Maxwell House Coffee is rebranding for the first time in

893
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty three years and going by a

894
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 1: new name.

895
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 2: For the time being. I'm not going to tell you

896
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 2: the name yet.

897
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: It's rebrand This is a promotional rebranding. It's not forever

898
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: to meet the needs of today's consumer and remind fans

899
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: the brand is synonymous with great tasting, affordable coffee in

900
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: a time where value matters more now than ever, Americans

901
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: seek value in areas of their every day, including where

902
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: they live, with nearly a third opting to rent versus

903
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: purchase a home.

904
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: What's this have to do with coffee?

905
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:37,280
Speaker 1: The promotion offers a twenty month quote unquote lease, allowing

906
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: customers to load up on a year's worth of coffee

907
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: for forty dollars. The company says that it could save

908
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: some customers up to one thousand dollars over the course

909
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: of a year.

910
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 2: Great.

911
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: So they're temporarily changing their name from Maxwell House two.

912
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 2: Maxwell Apartment.

913
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 5: And just rolls off the tongus.

914
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 3: It's just so silly.

915
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: We're not aspirational anymore. We're like, sorry, you're kicked out

916
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: of your house.

917
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 2: You gotta go to an apartment.

918
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 5: This is a recession indicator.

919
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 4: There you can own an apartment, and you can rent

920
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 4: an insanely expensive apartment, So it's not.

921
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: You could also rent a house. Yes, yes, it's also silly.

922
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 4: Also, what's so funny about that name one hundred and

923
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 4: thirty three years?

924
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 3: Is that what you said?

925
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 2: That's insane.

926
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,479
Speaker 4: I did not equate house with a home at all.

927
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 4: It was just the name of the brand, the house

928
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 4: is to do.

929
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

930
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 5: It was like pancakes. Yeah.

931
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 4: When when you segue to apartment, I was like, what

932
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 4: does this have anything to do with renting or owning

933
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 4: or home ownership.

934
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 3: It's so insane.

935
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: It's so insane.

936
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I have this other show, Battleground NYC

937
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: that's focusing on the New York City mayoral election, and

938
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: you guys are both New Yorkers, as you know, a

939
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: huge part of this election is rent and housing affordability.

940
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: And so I thought, Okay, maybe for like people in

941
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: big cities where rent and housing affordability and availability are

942
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: like a huge, huge thing, maybe this rings true, like

943
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: right away.

944
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 2: But for everyone else, you're like, what what now? Is

945
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 2: it an apartment? Now? I don't what does that have

946
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 2: to do with anything?

947
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 3: Exactly, It's a total misstep. It's so silly.

948
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,040
