Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

Speaker 3: So are we gonna have fun while doing the podcast?

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: I think we'll be okay, right, we usually have pretty

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: good time, I think, boo.

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, we always have fun on this pot cast. January,

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 4: though it feels like March already.

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: Well, you know, time time fly. We're gonna have a

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: Super Bowl in a couple of weeks. We got then

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: we get in the silly season in the NFL, which

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 3: is nothing but made up rumors, which we have pretty

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: much every day. Anyway, we don't really need the seat that.

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: We pretty much have that NonStop as it is.

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: Speaking of the Super Bowl, there's gonna be a lot

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 4: of excitement in Vegas with the NFL. They put out

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 4: a memo to every team and to everyone involved with

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl about gambling, and it was just one

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 4: word in all capitals.

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: It said, don't don't Yes, don't you go.

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 3: You're going to a city that is designed on gambling,

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: but do not gamble. Yeah, well that was done as

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,919
Speaker 3: a preemptive strike, Danny, to make sure to make sure

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: that no one who does gamble costs the NFL money

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: in a lawsuit. Right if somebody who were to try

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: to fix the Super Bowl or something like that, which

39
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: would take more than one person, but if the NFL

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: got sued, they would be like, all right, well we tried.

41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: We told them not to do it. I didn't listen

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: to us, but they told us.

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the first Super Bowl ever where they

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: encourage you to have a bunch of hookers in cocaine,

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 4: but just stay away from dambling.

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: A bunch of hookers and cocaine.

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: It's funny because I was talking to a buddy of

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 3: mine who does the stuff with the Chiefs, and if

49
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: they win on Sunday, I was like, well, where are

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: you going to be in Vegas?

51
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: Like, what's the itinerary?

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: And they have it all planned out of course, should

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 3: they win, every team, the four teams that are left,

54
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: all have the plan should they win, going to Vegas,

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: And from what I understand, they're going to be staying

56
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: pretty far away from the strip. There would be out

57
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: like Henderson or some of the teams are going to

58
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: stay there. There's also Red Rock, which is, you know,

59
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: far away. That's where a ritzy part of Vegas is,

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: the outskirts of Vegas. So the teams will not be staying.

61
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: They're not gonna be staying at New York New York

62
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: or the MGM or Caesar's Palace.

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: I do not believe. I do not believe.

64
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: By the way, it's National Peanut Brittle Day today, so

65
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: I gotta make more peanut Maybe i'll make that later today.

66
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: Peanut brittle. Yeah, that's so good. I love it. Dis

67
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: bad for you, I think too, but it's good. He's amazing.

68
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: So I wanted to start this being the Friday Show.

69
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: It is championship weekend in the NFL, which is somewhat exciting.

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: Oh yes, as we wind down and then wind up

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: for the Super Bowl, and time is on our side.

72
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 3: I'm gona call this time on our side because it

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: was episode twenty. I've not done twenty TV shows on

74
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: the NBC regional cable networks. At Benny Versus the Penny,

75
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: the thirty Minute Show, which airs on Friday, Saturday, and

76
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: Sunday morning and is syndicated. We taped our latest episode yesterday.

77
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: Now I will tell you the degree of difficulty did

78
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: go up. We normally break down as many games as

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: time allows. We slice and dice the standard. Now during

80
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: the NFL season, if nobody has a bye week, there's

81
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 3: thirty two teams, so you slice that and have so

82
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: that's sixteen games.

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: But we don't do the Thursday game. Usually.

84
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: I picked the Thursday game. That doesn't make the show

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: because it's on Thursday. If they're Saturday games, that doesn't

86
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 3: make it. So we focus in on Sunday and Monday.

87
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: Those are the sweet spots because the show airs in

88
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: New York on Sunday morning and we want to have

89
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 3: as a fresh as show as possible. So now we're

90
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: down to two games. You got one side of the bracket.

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: The AFC which is the early game on Sunday with

92
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: the Chiefs and the Lions, which has been mildly talked about,

93
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: and then you have the forty nine Ers and the Lions.

94
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: You have Chiefs, Ravens, Lions and forty nine Ers.

95
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: I think I said that right, maybe not.

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: It's early, but this is a double edged sword. Danny

97
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: doing the TV show with only a couple of games.

98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: It is a blessing. It is a curse at the

99
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: same time, because there's no need to rush. Time is

100
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 3: on our side, right, time is on our side.

101
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 4: Good thing for you guys. Both games are on Sunday

102
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 4: this weekend.

103
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't have to worry about that the rest

104
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: of the there's only a couple of weeks ago in

105
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: the show to worry about that. The other thing, which

106
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: is great with a radio background, dealing with the people

107
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 3: at NBC, and you'll appreciate this, Dan, he's a fellow

108
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: radio guy. They're like, well, you know, I can you

109
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: fill the time? They're like they want to know, like

110
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: you know what's going to go into it.

111
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: You know.

112
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: It's like, I guess TV people are not as your

113
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: standard TV people are not used to having to fill

114
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: time randomly.

115
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Spell of prompter readers. Yeah, well Looney is a prompter guy. Yeah.

116
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: I have made it twenty weeks without using the prompter. Wow,

117
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: I'm proud of that too. No prompter, no proplet Now

118
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: Looney prompter guy. He's we call him. We call them

119
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: presidential or we call them Obama or Biden or whatever.

120
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: They all the guys that read.

121
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: The prompter the president. So we did change it up

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 3: a little bit. The episode will start airing later today.

123
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: I'd love for you to watch it. That would be

00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,080

Speaker 3: this podcast on Friday. You get up pretty early. I'm

159
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: up all night.

160
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't go to.

161
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: Bed, do the overnight show, hangout for a few hours,

162
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: come back at some point we do the podcast. We

163
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: don't say specifically when we do the podcast, but we

164
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: do the podcast early.

165
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: We do the podcast early. So the word of the

166
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: week is groggy. Like that word. Yeah, it's good work.

167
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: It's good word. So everyone feels groggy.

168
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: At one point or another, right at lethargic feeling my life.

169
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: When I was in school, I always felt groggy. I'm

170
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: not a morning person. I did one tour of duty

171
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: on morning drive radio, which was the worst year and

172
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: a half of my life.

173
00:08:59,120 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: I hated it.

174
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 3: I could not adjust my schedule. It was a freaking nightmare,

175
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: and so that was terrible. I hated it getting him

176
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: really early, and I was always kind of out of

177
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 3: it and all that. But the term, the origin story

178
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: this is an interesting one.

179
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: That's why we picked it as the word of the week.

180
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: The word groggy. It was Steve Grogan's nickname. That's right. Wow. Yeah.

181
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: It originated in the eighteenth century when a former Fox

182
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: Sports Radio Morning guy Mike North.

183
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: Oh, there's no question teamed up with Andy Furman for

184
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: the first time.

185
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 2: No.

186
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: Eighteenth century, there was this British dude named Admiral Vernon,

187
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: who Admiral Vernon. Don't mess with Admiral Vernon. And the

188
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 3: legend goes, and they believe this to be true. The

189
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 3: legend goes that sailors gave this guy, General Admiral Vernon,

190
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: the nickname.

191
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: The Old Grog.

192
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 3: And why is that, Well, he had a clue. Ok,

193
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: all right, so they said because he had Old Grog,

194
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: called it at the cloak, and that was made from

195
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: material called grogrum that is a weather proof proof mixture

196
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: of silk and wool.

197
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: So this is.

198
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: Eighteenth century, so weather proof, they called it grogrum. And

199
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: then in seventeen forty, Admiral Vernon, nicknamed Old Grog, he

200
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: decreed that his sailors should be served their rum diluted

201
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: watered down with water, rather than than you know, the

202
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: normal normal way they'd been doing it, and this was

203
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: called Grog.

204
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: Think he was the very first bar owner.

205
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, greedy guy, this Admiral Vernon. So this this beverage,

206
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: he was named Old grog, and the combo that he

207
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: came up with where he mixed together the rum with

208
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: the water, diluted it with water that was called grog.

209
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: And the feeling experienced by the sailors in the eighteenth

210
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 3: century when they drank too much, they were groggy from

211
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 3: the grog, and that spread. And here we are, all

212
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: these years later, way past the eighteenth century, and to

213
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: this day, the word groggy is in the lexicon of many,

214
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: including us.

215
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: We use the word groggy all the time, most people do.

216
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: It's just the way it is. So that was interesting, right,

217
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: you believe that.

218
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: I don't know how has that because there was no

219
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: internet in the eighteenth century.

220
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: So cool.

221
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 4: I was joking about it being somebody's nickname. It really

222
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 4: was somebody's nickname.

223
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

224
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: How does that spread them? Like I understand there's some sales.

225
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: How many sailors were there that heard that and drank

226
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,359
Speaker 3: the grog and got drunk and called themselves groggy?

227
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

228
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: I mean that's what that's the origin the story. But

229
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: there you go, the word of the week, believe it

230
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 3: or not. I wasn't around in the eighteenth century, and

231
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: neither were you.

232
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: Neither were you. But the word of the week is groggy.

233
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 4: Wow, oh my, oh my god.

234
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: And we moved to the kitchen or the restaurant more

235
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: like the restaurant with the foody fun, foody fun.

236
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: I saw a lot of restaurant stories this past week.

237
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some good ones. Now this one is not fun.

238
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 3: It is rather shocking. I had to do a double thing.

239
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: I thought maybe this was a satire story.

240
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: Uh huh. I think I know where you're going. I

241
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe not, maybe, I don't know. It involves

242
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: in and Out? Is that Okayah? The first time in

243
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: seventy five years, right.

244
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're closing their first ever restaurant.

245
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: In and Out.

246
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: Burger announced this week that they're closing their first location.

247
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 3: And I don't know that we talked about it. Did

248
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: we talk about it on the podcast What's been going

249
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 3: On There?

250
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: No, we didn't.

251
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 4: I want to point out that this location is near

252
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: the Oakland Airport. I've eaten at this In and Out

253
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 4: several times going up to Raider games.

254
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

255
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: So I got a couple of people who listen to

256
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: this the radio show in the Bay area, and there's

257
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: some video clips.

258
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: Have you seen the video.

259
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's super sad. What is happening to that city

260
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 4: right now?

261
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd think somebody in a position of power might

262
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 3: like say, I know, you know, maybe we should do

263
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: something about this.

264
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: You lose the Warriors, the Raiders, then you lose the A's,

265
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 4: and then you lose your In and Out?

266
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: Are you fucking that's a little too far In and

267
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 3: Out Burger? I mean, the one thing he lose a

268
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: football team and a basketball team and a baseball team.

269
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: But in and Out Burger. Come on, there are people

270
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 3: that don't like sports that live in the Bay Area. Fine,

271
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: but everyone loves a burger, even vegans loved.

272
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: You go to In and Out.

273
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 3: You can get a grilled cheese if you want. But

274
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 3: this is insane. So if you don't know the story,

275
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: as Danny says, right near the Oakland International Airport, and

276
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 3: there are multiple videos that have been sent to me,

277
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: I have seen these over the last couple of weeks.

278
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: That guy think it was last week, last week or so,

279
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: and it shows it is such a shithole Oakland that

280
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: the criminals in the Bay Area they realize that most

281
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: people they'll they'll fly into Oakland, they'll rent a car

282
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: and before they even leave the airport area, where do

283
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 3: they go?

284
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: They stop in and out. I'm in Oakland. I'm gonna

285
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: get a burger, you.

286
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: Know, because these people are most probably aren't from California,

287
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: where they're from a place that don't have in and

288
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: out burger, so they're like, I'm gonna get an out burger.

289
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: It's a West Coast thing.

290
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: So they'll park their rental car in there in the

291
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: parking lot and they'll go in and these guys are

292
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: coming in, smashing the window, grabbing suitcases out of the trunk.

293
00:14:59,080 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: They're like breaking.

294
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

295
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 3: Well, the one video I saw, I saw two with

296
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: the one that was crazy. These guys would drive in,

297
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: guys in hoodies. One would break the driver's window and

298
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: then he'd reached down, raise up the thing to open

299
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: the trunk and then grab the suitcases back in the

300
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: car and gone in like twenty seconds. It's absolutely nuts.

301
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, the people that run in and out, they

302
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: released a statement they said, we feel the frequency and

303
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: severity of the crimes being encountered by our customers and associates,

304
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: leave us no alternative.

305
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: No.

Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's so said. The location was already boarded up. Yeah,

308
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 4: we waved the white flag.

309
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: It's done. Yeah.

310
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: According to the San francisc Were Chronicle, there were thirteen

Speaker 3: who worked near the restaurant call seeing two people stop

317
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,479
Speaker 3: in the drive through lane and rob each vehicle at gunpoint.

318
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: It's like the fucking Old West. My god, excuse my language.

319
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Yoah, oh no, where's Wyatt Arp? Like? So honestly, like some.

320
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 4: Renegades need to go in there for the good guys

321
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 4: and clean that city up.

322
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: Man.

323
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: I mean for everybody like me who loves the Bay Area,

324
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 4: this is a sad day.

325
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: Oh it's embarrassing.

326
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: And you'd think the people again that were in charge

327
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: that could actually do something about it, that are elected

328
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: or people that are working for the city could do

329
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 3: something about it.

330
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: But everyone's like, you know, that's fine. What are they doing? Seriously,

331
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: what are they doing?

332
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 4: If somebody in power, got up at a podium and

333
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: broadcasted on all the TV stations and radio stations up

334
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: there and said, if you do this, you will be

335
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 4: shot on site. Do you think that those criminals might

336
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: crawl back in their holes?

337
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: Well, then they know they're not going to do it now,

338
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 3: because yeah, it would be better because they know now

339
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: nothing's going to happen. Even they get caught, what happens,

340
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: you know, you get some judges like, ohright, well, you know,

341
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 3: don't do it again, you know.

342
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

343
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 4: And recently there was a famous TikTok chef who scheduled

344
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 4: this big trip to San Francisco to review some Bay

345
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: Area restaurants. He was so excited and he gets there.

346
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 4: What did he encounter? Tons of crime and problems. He

347
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 4: had to cut his trip short and that made the

348
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 4: rounds and a lot of Bay Area natives were sad

349
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 4: seeing that story go viral.

350
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: Well, we've told this story.

351
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: I remember doing it on the podcast that there was

352
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: a TV crew in San Francisco that was out doing

353
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: a story on crime in San Francisco and they got

354
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 3: robbed at gunpoint while doing a story about crime in

355
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: San Francisco. They were you know, there's stuff taking so

356
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 3: at gunpoint. So it's a wonderful place. It is actually

357
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: a beautiful place. If they cleaned it up, it's a

358
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: wonderful place to visit.

359
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 4: But Mike, yeah, I mean this is going on in

360
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 4: Berkeley too. And if you've ever been to the Berkeley

361
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 4: Hills or the Oakland.

362
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Hills out of money, you don't know.

363
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 4: There is millions and millions of dollars in those hills.

364
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 4: But you go down to the flats and things are

365
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 4: a nightmare with crime.

366
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing that blows me away.

367
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 3: And we see this, you know in La like in

368
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: bel Air, Right, you have to come down from the

369
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: hills to go shopping, right, there's no in those ritzy neighborhoods.

370
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 3: There's no markets and things like that. Like, you have

371
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 3: to go out and you have to go with the

372
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: great unwashed. So if the great unwashed or robbing you

373
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: at the store, what is that?

374
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: I don't get it.

375
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 4: I mean they've let it go for so many years

376
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 4: that this is where we're at.

377
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is not we're not doing politics here,

378
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 3: but whatever they're doing is not working.

379
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: How about that, Danny Well phrase it that way?

380
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 4: Yes, we can we No, I mean I think I

381
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: think that's more than fair. And as somebody who lived

382
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 4: there for years, I can tell you that it's always

383
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 4: been corrupt as far as politicians on both sides of

384
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 4: the aisle and everything in between. Nothing has ever worked

385
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 4: with anybody in their lip service. It's always been about

386
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 4: the politicians and in that area lacing their own pockets

387
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: and not giving a shit about the people who live there.

388
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 3: But who's paying them to allow crime to happen? That's

389
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: the part I've never understood. Like, if I understand they've

390
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: got all these wonky moon bad ideas, that's fine, that's

391
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 3: not my cup of tea. Whatever floats your boat. But

392
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 3: like the crime thing, doesn't that hurt everyone? There are

393
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: less businesses leave. That's less tax money for the politicians

394
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: to spend frivolously, you know, pork bill spending and all that.

395
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Now, there is a positive in

396
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: and out story.

397
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: While they closed the one in Oakland near the airport,

398
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 3: and I'll bet you they closed that because those videos

399
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 3: went viral. Danny, you think that played a factor, because

400
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: this has been going on since twenty.

401
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: Nineteen, played a big factor.

402
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, those videos all of us anyway, good

403
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: news in Idaho.

404
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: In and Out they opened, I think.

405
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: Their first location this recently this week or so, and

406
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: I was just reading a story here that there were

407
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 3: people lined up at four point thirty in the morning

408
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: wearing long John's, sleeping in the parking lot because they

409
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: wanted to be the first at In and Out Burger.

410
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: What would it take, Danny, for you to line up

411
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: at four point thirty in the morning wearing long John's

412
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: on a freezing Idaho morning to get in line for

413
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: In and.

414
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: Out a tasty double double. That's all it would take. Oh,

415
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: there you go.

416
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: My right hand was getting a workout. I was going

417
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 3: to get in line. There was where I used to live.

418
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 3: There was a raising canes that opened up, and I

419
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 3: love raising canes, and they this thing like, if you

420
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: get in line, the first hundred people are going to

421
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 3: get like some gift card where they get free food for.

422
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: A few months or something like that. I forget what

423
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: it was.

424
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 3: It was something like that, and I was like, man,

425
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: I was doing the cost benefit of analysis, and I

426
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: was like, well, I'll probably get fat again if I

427
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 3: get that. And then I drove by because I was

428
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 3: seriously thinking about doing this, because why not and there

429
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: were when by the time I got there, there are

430
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: already people lined up. I think there were already enough

431
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: people there to get all the gift cards. So I

432
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: was like, I've screw that.

433
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I told you about this when the Chick fil

434
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 4: A finally opened in Burbank a few years back. Remember

435
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: I got there early in the morning. People had tents

436
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 4: set up in the new parking lot. They left overnight

437
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 4: to get the year of free food.

438
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: Well, I hope it was worth it for him. I

439
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: hope they enjoyed their free food. Is there limits on

440
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: every day?

441
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: I know there's been I've met people that have that

442
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: McDonald's Gold card where the Golden Arches card where you

443
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: get free McDonald's.

444
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 4: Chick fil A should have done given everybody a card there,

445
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: and once they got the card, all excited, they go

446
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 4: to the run to their car and drive away like, man,

447
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 4: that was so worth it. I got my card. And

448
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 4: then you look on the small print on the back

449
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 4: of the card. Only valid on Sundays.

450
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, a lot of these NFL teams are like

451
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 3: Chick fil A. They don't work on Sunday, Danny. That's

452
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 3: a lot of these these these coaching hires. I don't

453
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: do sporty, but my god, some interesting hires. There are

454
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: some other food news. We all need one story, I

455
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: think McDonald's or two stories. Double double Big Mac is this?

456
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: Have you seen this?

457
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 3: The the double Big Mac four burger patties. It's got

458
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: seven and eighty calories, eight grams of fat. The regular

459
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: Big Mac has five hundred and ninety calories.

460
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: So people have.

461
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: Been chowing down on the double Big Mac, which, if

462
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 3: you know, the Big Mac, even though it's got the

463
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: two paddies, it's got the bread in the middle, so

464
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 3: there's not that much meat in it. Cut that meat

465
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 3: the two patties is more of a reasonable I think.

466
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: I've also seen people on some.

467
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 3: Videos online at Costco and they get the two chocolate

468
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: chip cookies and the vanilla cone.

469
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the vanilla ice cream.

470
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: They make their own ice cream sandwich. But the problem

471
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: with that is that ice cream. You got to eat

472
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 3: that really quick. It melts so fast.

473
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was crumbling in this guy's hand and then

474
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 4: he was feeding it to his friend out of his

475
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 4: own hand.

476
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: It was a pretty gross video that went viral.

477
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not it's not good. That has more calories

478
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: than a big Mac, even a double big Mac. If

479
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: you combine two chocolate chip cookies from Costco and the

480
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 3: vanilla thing whatever, the ice cream, that's nothing. I don't

481
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 3: really count calories though. I just don't eat. That's what

482
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: I do. And then when I eat, I eat what

483
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: I want, but I don't. I can't do You count

484
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 3: calories now, I can't do it. If you can, you're

485
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 3: a better person than me. I can't do it.

486
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 4: I've tried with that my fitness app. Yeah, lasted for

487
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: maybe a week or two, and then after that I

488
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 4: have a pretty good sense of if I'm over eating,

489
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: and so I know like what to do without having

490
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 4: to type everything into the app.

491
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I fast enough where I feel like I

492
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 3: can eat what I want and I haven't gained any

493
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 3: weight back.

494
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: In a while.

495
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: There was a period where I was making cookies every

496
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 3: week and desserts it and it became it became a problem.

497
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 3: But I cut back. I cut that back. I was

498
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: also drinking a lot of juice. Like, I don't drink soda.

499
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: I haven't had soda in years because I got fat

500
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 3: based on soda, and I lost a lot of weight

501
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: just knocking soda out of my diet. I just saved

502
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 3: myself a lot of empty calories.

503
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you pull the post alone and.

504
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 3: I drink mostly water, But I like on the weekends,

505
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: I'll go crazy. I've got this crystal light stuff which

506
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 3: I don't even know it's good for you or not,

507
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: but it's just a little flavor, little kick to the water.

508
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: My favorite is the strawberry. They should sponsor this podcast.

509
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: I freaking love that strawberry. It is amazing, absolutely wonderful.

510
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: Here's an interesting story in the food world. It says

511
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 3: Americans eating habits have changed in terms of their consumption

512
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: of fast food. According to McDonald's and Chibotle, they say

513
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 3: that their business has seen that customers now, instead of

514
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: eating earlier in the day, now eat later in the day.

515
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: That they now eat closer towards what is traditionally known

516
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: as dinner time, according to the data.

517
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: Take that for data. Put that in your pipe.

518
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 3: So people are not chowing down like they used to

519
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: get in there early for the breakfast and all that,

520
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 3: they're going there more for dinner. I'm more of a

521
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 3: lunch guy. Back in my fast food days, I'd eat

522
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: lunch and dinner, but mostly lunch. That was my sweet Spot.

523
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: I saw also Cosmic.

524
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: We talked about Cosmic, this new competitor for Starbucks, which

525
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 3: is McDonald's trying to take down Starbucks. And they've opened

526
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 3: a few of these things and they're I love thing's

527
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: only been open for a few weeks, and they're claiming

528
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: that this cosmic is already tremendously popular with.

529
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: People in their twenties and their thirties. It's only a couple.

530
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't only know that. Come on, and where have

531
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: they tested it? We haven't seen any near us.

532
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: I think they're in Chicago, which is where McDonald's headquarters are.

533
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: I believe I've not seen a cosmic I have not.

534
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: Chicago doesn't speak for the rest of us.

535
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 3: That's right, Although remember that line, if it plays in

536
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 3: Peoria can play anywhere which is not Chicago.

537
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,040
