Speaker 1: What are you talking about?

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: For a teenage girl to drink an iced coffee with

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty grams of sugar in it.

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: Kennedy said, I don't think they're going to be able

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: to do it.

32
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: So this incurred the wrath of Massachusetts Governor Maura Eally

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: because she's one of us. I love it because she's

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: one of us, because she's a real one, right, Either

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: that or she knows she knows us, right.

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Ye, she knows her constituents.

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: Sure, And this is war, this war officially, those are

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: fighting words. And so she responded, come and take it,

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: Come and take it. I responded, And I will say

40
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: I've been quoted in multiple publications, but I said, for

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: my cold dead hands, from my cold dead hands, it's

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: back to like I can picture Charleston Heston, Charlton Heston right,

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: holding on his bony hands, holding on to his wife,

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 2: all being like, from my cold hand, that's what I've

45
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 2: cold from the ice coffee, my cold iced coffee hands.

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: You'll have to pry it out, and I'll have to

47
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: be dead for you to do it.

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: The best part of this is that none of Duncan's

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: drinks meat or exceed one hundred and eighty grams of sugar.

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: I was.

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: None of them ask like, what are you even talking about?

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Well, I have a chart right here. I'm so visual.

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: I love the colors.

54
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I didn't make someone fantastic made this.

55
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: A friend, A friendly made this. Uh yeah. Not a

56
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: single drink exceeds the one hundred and eighty grams.

57
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: Of sugar that RFK Junior said. These beverages should not

58
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: exceed at most. Something I've never ordered butter pecans swirl

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: frozen coffee with.

60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: Skim milk, truly discussing it. Oh my god, your bad mistake.

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: That's on you.

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 2: But even that is one hundred and seventy four grams

63
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: of sugar, not one hundred and eighty.

64
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a lot of sugar. That's not one hundred

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: and eighty.

66
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you, mister hell secretary, you drew the line, you

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: named the number. Yeah, you have to follow your own

68
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: stupid guidelines.

69
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

70
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what he was thinking, but it's spurred

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: like some of the best headlines. Oh yes, please, RFK

72
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: Junior just found out how to start a revolt in Boston.

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: Diss Duncan, that's right. Donut tread on me, donut tread

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: on it.

75
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: Love it, that's right.

76
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: I mean these Massachusetts institutions, Duncan and the Kennedys collide.

77
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a civil war.

78
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like an identity crisis.

79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Also, like whose identity crisis?

80
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: Do you think any of the Kennedys have had a

81
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: Duncan Like.

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: I like to believe they have, Lauren, Okay, I like

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: to believe they have. Believe.

84
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: Also, isn't it like the core one of the core

85
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: values of I mean, he's technically a Republican, right like

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: the fair marketplace, Like one gets to choose what they

87
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: buy from Duncan donut.

88
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: This is way too high level for RFK. He's a Republican.

89
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what he is.

90
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: Nobody does. None of the things he does are science. Okay,

91
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: it's insanity, it's gobbledegook.

92
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: This man has.

93
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 2: Brainworms and he's coming for my coffee. Let's not try

94
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: to like put him on the couch, Lauren, Okay.

95
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: I know, I know my mistake.

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: I apply the actual rigors of political kind of like

97
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: you know, the trappings of traditional politics.

98
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: Like I don't understand why he even like wasted his time.

99
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: It's so weird. Anyway, we're talking too much about RFK

100
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 3: at this point.

101
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: I think we are. But I just wanted to be

102
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: really clear. We rise it, Dawn. Okay, I'm not alone.

103
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 3: I'm ready.

104
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. I heard from a lot of people.

105
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: I love a lot of people.

106
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: Well, you're essentially the Duncan Donut spokesperson.

107
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a mediator, right, I'm hoping to me.

108
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: Okay, so listen, figure, Actually, thank you. I appreciate that

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: I heard from a lot of people. Or okay, you'd

110
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: be surprised how many people I heard from.

111
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I had high school friends coming out of the woodwork.

112
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: Oh yes, okay, okay, I had celebrities. I had all

113
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: my Boston peeps. Everyone was coming out, like where do

114
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: we meet?

115
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Whose car are we taken?

116
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 4: Like your Duncan merch that you had as a teenager

117
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 4: in your bad dream, like starts activating like exactly, the shirt.

118
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: Exactly started, it started tingling. It's coming alive. I will

119
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: mobilize all the troops.

120
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: Who's Kyle be taken? That's it, that's it.

121
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: The accent comes out.

122
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: I need your help with something. Somebody might get hurt.

123
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: I can't tell you anything about it's okay, don't come

124
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: for it.

125
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: Big mistake, big, huge, uge, huge, all right, I gotta

126
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: drop this accent.

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: Now now he's stuck in my mouth.

128
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 5: Phrase that you say to reset.

129
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: To get back.

130
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: It should just be like Starbucks, Starner.

131
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: Okay, store but not Stobacks store Bucks. Okay, I'm back.

132
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: Glad we got that out of the way.

133
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 5: News.

134
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do a lot of these studies about coffee

135
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: is good for this, it's bad for that, blah blah blah.

136
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: Here's one right in my wheelhouse.

137
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: Two or three cups of coffee a day may protect

138
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 2: your mental health.

139
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: For this podcast, it's scial crossover.

140
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: That's really answer them.

141
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: This is a very long description of this study because

142
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: apparently they've tried to study this before the effects of

143
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: caffeine and in particular coffee on depression, anxiety, et cetera.

144
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: It's tough to isolate.

145
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: I guess, like what part of caffeine is responsible for

146
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: what part of you know, your mental health.

147
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: But so they go through this very sort of.

148
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: Complicated explanation of how they got this. They say Prior

149
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: research on coffee and mental health has produced mixed results.

150
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Some past projects suggested that drinking coffee lowered the risk

151
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: of depression, while others found no clear connection or even

152
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: hinted at potential harm. Those earlier projects often looked at

153
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: small groups where people are only captured a single snapshot

154
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: in time. They also rarely separated coffee into specific types,

155
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: like decaffeinated blends or instant granules, so to get a

156
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: clearer picture.

157
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: A team of public health researchers did not include RFK Junior.

158
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: He is not one of those definitely not analyzed a

159
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: massive database of long term health records. They wanted to

160
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: see if the amount and type of coffee people dank

161
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: drank changed the risk of developing mood or stress disorders

162
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: over time, and they wanted to know if a person's biological,

163
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: sex or genetic makeup played a role in this relationship.

164
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 2: I won't get into the methodology because it's like very complicated,

165
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 2: a curved relationship connecting coffee habits and mental health.

166
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: I know that, don't know.

167
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: But it came to the conclusion that people who drank

168
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: two to three cups of coffee a day had the

169
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: lowest risk of developing both mood and stress disorders compared

170
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: to people who drank no coffee at all.

171
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: Wow.

172
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,400

173
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: you were true, I would not have developed.

174
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: What is it patient zero.

175
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: What do you mean, Yeah, well maybe it is like

176
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: the going from the zero up. Yeah, Like I told

177
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: you anecdotally, my friend was drinking like four of these

178
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: a day. Yes, she's a teacher, Yes, gets up very

179
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: early and also has anxiety, and then at some point

180
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: was like, I think I should cut back, and like

181
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: broad it sets gone, and it made a marked difference

182
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 3: in your mental health and her anxiety levels.

183
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,679

184
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: operates in your brain and your body, Like I imagine

185
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: you personally have to find your sweet spot where it's

186
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,679

297
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: is the headline, What is pocket coffee and why is

298
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: it going viral?

299
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 5: Pocket Coffee I'm gonna show.

00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: You a picture. This is pocket coffee.

301
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: It's like it's like a rectangular chocolate Yeah, it looks

302
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 4: like like a chocolate bar.

303
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: It is so, this writer said.

304
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time scrolling through social media

305
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: to see what people are cooking, eating, and talking about

306
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: in the food world, something I would do even if

307
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: I wasn't a food writer, to be quite honest, because

308
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: I just love learning about new recipes and products. Recently,

309
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: I ran into a phrase so utterly bizarre and unique

310
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: I couldn't begin to fathom what it meant, the phrase

311
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: pocket coffee. Sure, I know what the words mean on

312
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: their own, but put together, I needed to investigate immediately pocket.

313
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: Here are the things I thought pocket coffee could be

314
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: before I looked at them.

315
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: I love this, lady. Yeah, that's great. Make it a game. Really,

316
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: rope us in here. Okay.

317
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: She thought it was a Starbucks coffee size that's smaller

318
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: than tall but larger than a pun.

319
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 5: Cup pocket size.

320
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, a tube like pouch of coffee, similar to gogurt.

321
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: That's what I thought it was.

322
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: You know.

323
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they make like, you know, electrolytes in a little tube,

324
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: and I just thought, Okay, this is, yeah, cranbular coffee.

325
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: And a tube.

326
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

327
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 2: Finally, she thought it might be a teeny tiny portable

328
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: coffee mug, like an espresso cup sized yetty tumbler.

329
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 3: That would be adorable. Get on it, it would be adorable.

330
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: Click a thimble.

331
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 5: That's a great idea.

332
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, somehow it's none of these, she says. Pocket Coffee

333
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 2: is actually a chocolate candy made by Farrera Rochet. Initially

334
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: I assumed it was just bite sized coffee flavored chocolate,

335
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 2: but apparently it's even better than that. Inside the hard

336
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 2: chocolate shell is actual liquid espresso.

337
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 5: Liquid espresso.

338
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: Shut the front door. Yeah, that sounds amazing.

339
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 2: I would definitely eat that. I would eat and drink

340
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: that drink that That is an eat drink sack.

341
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, consumable thing.

342
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 5: That sounds very good.

343
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: It's approximately approximately a SHOT's worth of espresso.

344
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 5: The whole bar is yeah.

345
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: Right.

346
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 2: You can get it in Italy and apparently it's tough

347
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: to get in the United States, but she says you

348
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: can order it on Amazon, but it's a bit pricey,

349
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: since it costs twelve dollars for a pack of eight

350
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: teen candies. Considering that it works out to a dollar

351
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: fifty per pocket coffee. Could say that's reasonable for a

352
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 2: shot of espresso. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a candy and

353
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: an espresso. You're getting two for one.

354
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: Do you think RFK wouldn't like this and would put

355
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 3: a tariff on that?

356
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: I think you would hate it.

357
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 4: Well, what it reminds me of is one of my

358
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 4: favorite things that Trader Joe's sells is the expressive chocolate

359
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: covered expressive.

360
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: Derek, so good Derek. This says.

361
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: Maybe one day I'll make it back to Italy and

362
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: try to find some at the store. In the meantime,

363
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: I think my favorite Trader Joe's chocolate.

364
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: Coverness can give me the bus amazing.

365
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 5: They are very good. Have you had them in now? Yeah?

366
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: I know you know I don't go to Trader d

00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: oh right it stress.

368

00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: I just want to have to go there to try it.

370
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, do you do you know? Like do you

Speaker 3: you get it and then you just eat it? Or

372
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: you're pouring like hot milk over it, or.

373
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 2: Oh I bet there are several ways you could enjoy that.

374
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like it.

375
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: Bring let's do the picture had like a liquid.

377
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to buy them money Amazon, and we're

00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: to those cans, canned coffee, canned cold brew, and.

384
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.

385
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine for the three of us,

386
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: for whom the ritual of making the coffee, Yeah, is

387
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: so much a part of the experience.

388
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: For sure. Have you ever had a canned cup of coffee?

389
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 3: I've had it, like in desperate moments, like a that's

390
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: exactly the airport, right, or like knowing, Okay, I'm going

391
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: to be up at four in the morning.

392
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it just makes me there waiting for me. Yes, yes,

393
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: I've never had it.

394
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

395
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: Also, most of them do have sugar and all this

396
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: like additive.

397
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: Yes, the sweet.

398
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 3: It's not very coffee you can find I found one black,

399
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 3: which I think was Starbucks, but otherwise it was Yeah.

400
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 5: Is it very artificerated?

401
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 3: Yes? Yeah, oh yeah, I'm sure you could hit it

402
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 3: up with that I'm sure it's disgusting.

403
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't put it in the microwave because it's very chemically.

404
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: It's it's like a coffee drink. Yeah, it doesn't taste

405
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: a coffee, you know. It's it's like very sweet taste

406
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 2: and very weird.

407
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the metal can because it's in a metal can. Yeah, exactly.

408
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: But there's a tiny airport in white planes that I

409
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: fly out of.

410
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: Oh when I'm lucky.

411
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got to do that. That sounds amazing.

412
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: The most civilized airport experience.

413
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I mean, just be you.

414
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: It is. It's like you just you walk through, someone's

415
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: waiting for you. At TSA. They're like, come on down,

416
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: are you sie? Right, We've been waiting for you.

417
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm going to Chicago in a couple weeks and

418
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 4: I'm playing it in a way and I'm excited to

419
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 4: find a midway because I'm ooh, that's like a smaller

420
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 4: airport anyway.

421
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: It is. It's not that small.

422
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 5: Okay, well yeah it's not.

423
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: It's not as small.

424
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 5: It's not white planes. Okay, this is.

425
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: Like I think like four or five gates. That's it.

426
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know it's one. It's one terminal and

427
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: there's one.

428
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: Little, uh, grab and go kind of cafe.

429
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is where I've had a canned cup

430
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: of coffee in total desperation.

431
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: Wait.

432
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 3: I learned something fun when I was in Washington State

433
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: on this little Twin Peaks reporting trip that when Twin

434
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: Peaks was at its peak, which was ninety two, and

435
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: it was huge in Japan. There were japan was as

436
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 3: they always are, way ahead of the sort of culture

437
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 3: food game, and there was this canned coffee that was

438
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 3: very popular called Georgia Coffee, and the stars of the

439
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 3: show did a four part mini commercial series all around

440
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 3: Georgia Coffee in the nineties. In the nineties. Yeah, and

441
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: then you can find them on YouTube. They're so fun

442
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 3: and quirky and like cause there was a season where

443
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: there was a missing young Japanese girl and so there

444
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: was like a character on the show. And anyway, the

445
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: sort of mini series is really fun. And I was like, oh, wow,

446
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 3: they had canned coffee then, because I had no idea,

447
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: I know.

448
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: It's really fun. It feels like a very modern invention. Yeah.

449
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: Interesting, Well, apparently they're killing it, says bad weather, tariff

450
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: supply chain glitches and growing demand pushed ground coffee prices

451
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 2: up as much as forty percent last year, coffee shop

452
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: prices up twenty one percent. And I guess it's just

453
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: cheaper to get it in a can, but also sadder.

454
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just saturder.

455
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: But can I just also say that I had been

456
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: getting this is kind of ridiculous, been getting my coffee

457
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 3: the coffee beans from Canada before the tariffs. And then

458
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: you know, it's one of these things where you subscribe.

459
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, very hard for me to unsubscribe things. Yeah,

460
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 3: so we know, and they know that, they know that exactly,

461
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 3: and we just kept getting it. And I was like, well,

462
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 3: we must be paying more for this coffee, and I

463
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: never really checked. And then the other day I got

464
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: a bill from FedEx.

465
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I've experienced.

466
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: For dollar bill were FedEx? I think for the tariff?

467
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah.

468
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 3: And because my mom, my mom was the one who

469
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 3: turned me onto this coffee. And then recently she was like,

470
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 3: did you cancel that subscription? Because I canceled it because

471
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 3: we're paying like out, you know, whatever, and try this coffee.

472
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: And then and I had this FedEx thing and I

473
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: was like, first of all, I don't know how to

474
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 3: pay it, and then I was like, I'm canceling gone online,

475
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 3: canceled it. Oh wow, but now I have to go

476
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: pay like forty dollars. How did this bill come to

477
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: you in the mail? And I told her a paper

478
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,560

Speaker 1: Oh when you're trying to record.

639
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was. Was it the cafe that they

640
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 4: filmed the like the thing?

641
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: But I did go back into there and I had

642
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: later in the day. I went back into the Double

643
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: R Diner, Yes, and I sat down for my I mean,

644
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 3: this was must have been my fourth cup of coffee,

645
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: but it was sort of like the thing that you're

646
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 3: supposed to do. So I sat down and I had

647
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: a fourth cup of coffee and cherry pie. And I

648
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: have to say the cherry pie was delicious. Pie. Wow,

649
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 3: the crust was really good. Yeah, it was really good.

650
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 5: Nice.

651
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a double our diner was amazing because

652
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 3: it really did look exactly like it. I mean, it

653
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: looks much smaller, but yeah, it's it's adorable.

654
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

655
00:31:54,120 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: I've uh, you know, We've tried to, like film, political shows,

656
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: morning shows, debate shows in like restaurants or diners or

657
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: bring the restaurant diner to the table.

658
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work. It doesn't work for so many reasons.

659
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: Coffee is particularly tough because it gets a little hot

660
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you spill it a little bit,

661
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: like coffee is prone to spillers.

662
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, as.

663
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: Mine stands teeth right. And then eating, it's just everyone

664
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: loves this idea. Yeah, let's eat on camera, let's have breakfast. Yeah,

665
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: what we talk about the news.

666
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: We'll make it like a coffee clatch, the kitchen table,

667
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: all the metaphors. It really does not go well. No

668
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: one wants to watch it.

669
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 3: A camera is the last thing I want to do, Like, I.

670
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: Don't want to hear you eating next to me exactly.

671
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: It just I get the sentiment. I get why. It's

672
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: a fun idea. It's a fun little device.

673
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 5: You want to really hard berry.

674
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 4: You want people to feel like they're just chatting, they're

675
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 4: just you know, like it made. It theoretically will break

676
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 4: down those barriers. But yeah, the logistics of it do not.

677
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't lend itself. It's a great audio or actual Frankly, no,

678
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: it's just a yeah, because it would be fun.

679
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 3: I did go through some old photos yesterday. My mom

680
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 3: is turning seventy, and I was trying to figure out

681
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 3: if I could do something around those photos. And in

682
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 3: these photos was one that did not belong which was

683
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 3: but it was a photo in a dunkin Donuts. And

684
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 3: it's funny because it's me and my best friend. We

685
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 3: went to high school together, and during college, I traversed

686
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 3: from Ohio. She went to Cornell. I went to Cornell,

687
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: got dropped off at her place, and then we went

688
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 3: and spied on my ex boyfriend a Cornell he went

689
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 3: to a different school. And I'm not even gonna.

690
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: Say, oh, we're not gonna say okay, but we didn't like.

691
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 3: Go find him, but we're like, this would be really funny.

692
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: And then the whole trip ended up being like us

693
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 3: taking a photo in front of like the college sign

694
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 3: and like thinking that we were hilarious, and then going

695
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: to the dunkin Donuts and then what this photo says

696
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 3: to me is we actually asked the person serving us

697
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 3: coffee to take our photo. This was not a sealthie.

698
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 3: This was a digital cameras from this moment amazing and

699
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 3: we are having such a good time. It was so

700
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: funny to me.

701
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: That's great.

702
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it made me really happy.

703
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 5: Did you spy on the did you.

704
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: Find We did not see him spy him? And I

705
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 3: think it was just those two destinations. It was just

706
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 3: like a silly thing for us to go, do you know.

707
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 3: And it's clearly very dark, it's night it was nighttime. Yeah, Duncan.

708
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: Du'm glad the Duncan was open, and it's probably the

709
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 3: only thing that was open.

710
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: Probably, I mean, our our hangout when I was a

711
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 2: teenager was the Duncan. It was Duncan or Friendlies, and

712
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 2: you know, there was If we were going to be

713
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 2: up in Chelmsford, we would go to the Dunk. If

714
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: we were going to be closer to andover, we would

715
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: go to the Friendlies. But sometimes the dunk was the

716
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: only place open, yeah, and safe and clean and bright

717
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 2: and like where you could just didn't have a cheap

718
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: cup of coffee.

719
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 5: Yea.

720
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: It was the sight of a lot of memories for us.

721
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 3: It was the diner, thinking of Phil Rosenthal's, Yes, diners,

722
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 3: like we spend so much time. There were so many

723
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 3: diners in Connecticut, like take your pick if we wanted

724
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 3: to go to Hampden or Wyn or Orange and.

725
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: It feels like there are more in Connecticut than there

726
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: are in Massachusetts.

727
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a ton.

728
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: There were diners in mass but like not a ton.

729
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 2: They weren't everywhere and it wasn't like part of the culture.

730
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 2: In fact, the Roast Beef Shop was very much that's

731
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: a very much like a New England thing and a

732
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: Massachusetts thing and maybe even just like a north Shore

733
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: Massachusetts thing, but like that was a hangout so.

734
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 5: Harris pla or like yeah, well yeah, I.

735
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 2: Mean they make sandwiches but also just like a platter

736
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: of roast beef. Yeah, and like cut fries. This is

737
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 2: And then you'd go and see, like what boys were here,

738
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: Harrison's Roast Beef.

739
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 3: Famous eating a plate of roast beef, of roast.

740
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: Beef, I mean I only got fries, but like we

741
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: only got fries. But this was the Massachusetts version of

742
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: the diner.

743
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 3: I think that's so funny store. I never experienced that.

744
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's regional.
