Speaker 3: the play in, it begins the never ending journey. I

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: think the NBA playoffs go on, Danny, by my math,

00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,400

Speaker 3: so they're packing them all in to begin the playoffs.

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 4: You mean you weren't salivating on those Wednesday games?

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I mean most of the Yeah, it was

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,400

Speaker 3: But the Clippers begin the road to the championship. But

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 4: The Clippers run again? Oh, we know.

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: Where they're going.

35

00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: It's going to happen. I'm a fun guy. He's a

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: very fun guy, and the Clipper is the hottest team

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: in basketball. And you told me that you fought back.

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: You said, oh, you know there's a momentum exists. Well, okay,

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: momentum exists, then here we gom exist. The Clippers are

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: going to continue on. I was the guy said momentum

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: didn't exist. But you all told me that momentum exists.

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 3: So if there's momentum, the Clippers are going all the way.

45
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: They're on their way that it can't be stopped. Now

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: I must mention, Today's a very important day. I know

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: it's the Easter weekend, there's a lot of stuff going on,

48
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 3: but today is National Garlic Day.

49
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: And for someone that worships garlic.

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: Much like the Egyptians back in the day that you know,

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: there's a phrase you're worth your weight in gold, right

52
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: because gold was the currency, but really you're worth your

53
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: weight in garlic. That's where it's at, right. I mean,

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: we've we've done this, We've done the podcast long enough.

55
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: We do this every year for National Garlic Today, so

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: we know all the fun facts about garlic. We know

57
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: the history of it, that it was is nature's antibiotic

58
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: and the garlicy.

59
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: Foods are the most delicious foods.

60
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: And that Greek athletes back in the day gave strength

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 3: or they got strength from garlic. Vampires hated Dracula and

62
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: the whole I mean, it's just a wonderful thing. And

63
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 3: it goes all the way back to like three thousand

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: BC Babylon times, and just the craziness the history of

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: history of garlic. And there were kings that were.

66
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,559
Speaker 1: Preserved with well preserved garlic clothes.

67
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: Were presented to the tomb of kings as a gift

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: and medicine. In the sixteen hundreds the Middle Ages, they

69
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: were talking about the medical and the medical people at

70
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: the time said it was a miracle cure.

71
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: And then go on.

72
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: I could sit here and just do the whole podcast

73
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: about garlic. If you want, Danny, I could school, I

74
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: can wax poetic. I could do thirty minutes on what

75
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 3: I'd rather have raw garlic or roasted garlic. What about

76
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: garlic fries? How about garlic butter? Have you head garlic ipasta?

77
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: How about garlic chicken? Of course garlic bread.

78
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong. You cannot go wrong.

79
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: Accept our ratings, those would go wrong.

80
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: I dare you.

81
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: I have garlic fun facts. The twenty four percent of

82
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: Americans think garlic makes everything taste better. The only sad

83
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: part about that it's not higher. It should be more

84
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: than twenty four percent. Bad job by them and of Americans.

85
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this standy of Americans. What percentage

86
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: of Americans say garlic bread doesn't bother them?

87
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: What do you think, ooh, does not.

88
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 4: Bother does not bother them? I'm gonna say thirty five percent.

89
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: I wish it was that high. It's actually only twelve percent.

90
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: Oh what a bunch of losers. Come on, yeah, come on,

91
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: what to what you do is you have some garlic

92
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 4: toast as well, and then when you're kissing, there's no

93
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 4: big deal because you both taste like garlic.

94
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, embrace the garlic. Embrace the garlic y goodness.

95
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: That's what I say for sure.

96
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: And there was some other, and there's a bunch of these.

97
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: We love the dopey holidays.

98
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: We do the dope. We're all about the dope holidays.

99
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: It's husband Appreciation day to day. So I'm sure we'll

100
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: be celebrated Danny unless we're not.

101
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 4: That one somehow is gonna be swept under the rug.

102
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not gonna get a lot of attention. A

103
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: National hanging Out day to day.

104
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: Now you probably think this is just going out with

105
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: your pals and hanging out and all that stuff. But no, today,

106

Speaker 1: And that's that's the that's the day right there. This

109
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: is what this is. Stupid holiday, dumb.

110
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 4: They're all stupid. They are all stupid.

111
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Well, not the garlic one.

112
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: The garlic one was all right, you know, the gardley

113
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: that's fine, the garlic one's fine. So on this podcast

114
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: we have is something missing spring break where the Easter

115
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: egg hunt and a word all the week, but we

116
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: begin with this.

117
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: So during the.

118
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: Work during the week doing the radio show and the podcast,

119
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 3: I don't do a lot of outside stuff, but every

120
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: once in a while I would do a rare and appropriate,

121
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: rare and appropriate appearance. So I was contacted through the

122
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: multiverse by a producer, a radio producer in New Zealand,

123
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: and they said, hey, this NBA season came to an end,

124
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: we would love to have you come on.

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: I know.

126
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: I used to do a weekly.

127
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: Paid paid appearance by the way paid appearance and on

128
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: a radio.

129
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: New Zealand the network went out of business.

130
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 4: That used to go on what kind of money did

131
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 4: they pay you with? Because they have a different currency, right.

132
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

133
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: The thing was I got paid in their currency and

134
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: then they would transfer it, so at some points I

135
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 3: got paid more than others. It was never the same,

136
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: depending on the split between New Zealand and the US currency.

137
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: So it it was.

138
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: I would bill a very nice woman in accounting. I

139
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: would bill her every so often. They didn't really need

140
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 3: me to build them every week. I could build them whenever.

141
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: So what I tried to do, Danny, I think you

142
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 3: know where I'm going with this. I kept an eye

143
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: on the currency.

144
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: I knew it. I knew it, and.

145
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 3: I was I was trying to find I was in

146
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: bold and I was like, all right, I'm gonna I'm

147
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 3: gonna nail it. I'm gonna find the time where I'm

148
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: getting the most for my money. Trot exactly exactly, because

149
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: it was it was a fair amount of money that

150
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: was different. If the currency split was obviously in favor

151
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: of the US, then I was getting a lot less

152
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: than my rate. And you know, it was never really

153
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: in favor of New Zealand as I remember it, but

154
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: it was close. There were some points where it was

155
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: pretty close. So but anyway, they reached out to me.

156
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: One of the producers reached out to me and said, hey,

157
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: you know, the boys want to talk some NBA, and

158
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: so I said, okay, And then they wanted me to

159
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: do it at a time that I'm normally very frazzled.

160
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: I'm still sleeping, but that was like the only time

161
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: they could do it. So I was like, all right,

162
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: I'll fore go sleep. From one day, why not? And

163
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: these people want to talk to me, so whatever. So

164
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: I was like, I know what i'd do. I'm gonna

165
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to drive to the gym and then I'll

166
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: park the car in front and I'll just do the

167
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: thing from the car and then I'll go I'll go

168
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: to the gym. So I'm in the car driving, and

169
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: they of course call me like three minutes earlier than

170
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: they're supposed to call me, right, they call me early.

171
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: So I'm like, ah, whatever, I answered, and so I'm

172
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 3: doing it and they're like hey.

173
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, do you want me to when

174
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: I stop somewhere and I'll turn the car off. No,

175
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: I'll just do it. It doesn't matter. We just we need

176
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: you right now. So I was like, all right, whatever.

177
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: So I start throwing out my normal stick and throwing

178
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: in some big.

179
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: Words and all that stuff, and then you know, I'm

180
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: doing my thing.

181
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 3: Well, I'm driving still, So I ended up getting to

182
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: the gym and I there was some traffic that.

183
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: We're doing some construction on the road near the gym.

184
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: So I got to the gym and I was like,

185
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: well I should park. So then I of course as

186
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: we as us met and do, Danny, I backed into

187
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 3: the space. And as I am telling some tale about

188
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, Nikola Jokic or.

189
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 4: Somebody, well, you think you're better than me because you're

190
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: backed into the parking space.

191
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: And that's what a professional iver does, they back in.

192
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: So anyway, I back in, and of course I didn't

193
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: realize because I was on the phone connected to the car.

194
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: Everyone in New Zealand heard that beep beep, beep beep.

195
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: You know the sound, you know, the thing your car

196
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: makes whatever, So it was it became quite amusing. But

197
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: then I realized it is something missing because I did

198
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: about a fifteen minute segment.

199
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: They get their bank a lot to talk about bang

200
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: for your buck.

201
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: It's like fifteen minutes of interrogation about the NBA and

202
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 3: the playoffs and the regular season. We went through everything,

203
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: and then I realized that I was getting near the

204
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: end of it. And then when I finally hung up

205
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 3: and I was like, all right, I did the kind

206
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: of inventory of the segment, and I was like, is

207
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: something is something missing? And yeah, these guys did fifteen

208
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: minutes of NBA hot talk and nobody, nobody, neither one

209
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: of the hosts mentioned Lebron James or Luca.

210
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: They did not ask me a about either.

211
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 4: One of them.

212
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: Wow. I was like, that's unbelievable. And I was like,

213
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: that's shocking. They talked about the Celtics.

214
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: They're talking about like every other storyline you could possibly imagine,

215
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: Golden State and I'm trying to think of it. There's

216
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: a bunch of stuff, but it wasn't Lebron or Luca

217
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: was like, oh me, It's like, I can go do

218
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: New Zealand. I don't have to be infiltrated with lebron propaganda.

219
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: And uh, did you buy you? By the way, dandy,

220
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: did you get your Ken doll? Did you get your

00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: lebron Ken doll? Did you buy that?

222
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Huh? You get one?

223
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: Uh? What do you think?

224
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: No, what does that say about the you talk about

225
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: guys and dolls?

226
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: What does that say about the American zeitgeist?

227
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: They sold out of those things. People were online.

228
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 3: People were waiting online for hours to get a Lebron

229
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: Barbie doll.

230
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: Well, look a look at memory, look at especially sports

231
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: memorabilia in our country. I mean people were waiting in

232
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: line for what was it eight hours for the show

233
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 4: Hey Bobbleheads, and then the Dodgers put out a tweet saying,

Speaker 4: Yeah, those Hello Kitty squish balls.

241
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't get the squishball thing. Lorena loves the squishball thing.

242
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't.

00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: Single one of them.

251
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: They just magically dropped out of thin air, out of

252
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: the heavens.

253
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: They dropped in.

254
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: Just give me a pile of meat. Yeah, well, she

255
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: had a pile of squishballs, exactly.

256
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: What is your favorite NBA playoff cliche? Danny's just the

257
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: playoffs are beginning today. Do you have a favorite clichet

258
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: from the NBA playoff?

259
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: It's all about matchups come playoff time, it's all about matchups.

260
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's that's good.

261
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 3: I also like the it'll be a gentleman's sweep. We

262
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: get that a lot in the NBA. In the first

263
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: round of the NBA plays a lot of gentlemen sweep,

264
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: which is four out of five.

265
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: That's a gentleman's sweep. That's always That's always a fun one.

266
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 4: Oh here's one. You hear a lot in the playoffs.

267
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 4: Draymond just kicked somebody in the balls, kicked somebody that he.

268
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: Went the nutcracker. He went the nutcracker.

269
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, all right, So moving on from that no

270
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 3: lebron talk.

271
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: No, I did not get a lebron Kendall.

272
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 3: And if everyone buys them, I'm sure is it Mattel

273
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: that makes the Barbie stuff?

274
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: I think it's.

275
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: Mattel, Like, we have no idea how many they made.

276
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: It's not really a collectible if they made ten million

277
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: of them, right, It's only a collectible if there's a fine.

278
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: Nine amount of them.

279
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 3: It's kind of like when I was collecting baseball cards

280
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: is a kid, and then everyone started collecting them and

281
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: then we realized I think I read a story about this, right.

282
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: I mean It was a documentary that I watched Upper Deck.

283
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: They realized how valuable these these certain like Ken Griffy

284
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: Junior number one car. So people were just printing endless

285
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: amounts of them up because they were making money hands

286
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 3: over you know, handover fist.

287
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was about the Ken Griffy Junior card. They

288
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: mass produced it so suddenly it lost all of its value.

289
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

290
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: So if they want to, if people are buying these

291
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: Lebron barbies or Ken dolls or whatever, they just keep

292
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: making them.

293
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: People buy them and then make a fortune. And that's

294
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: that man.

295
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 4: We call it by its name, it's la Ken.

296
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: Ken Yes lackn. Then they can all go on spring break.

297
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 3: And where would they go on spring break? Where would

298
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: you Where do you think the people that buy the

299
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: mattel that sell the dolls, where do you think they'd go.

300
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: On spring break? Where do you think they go?

301
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: Well, after wasting their money on a dumb doll, they

302
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 4: probably don't have a lot of budget left over for groceries.

303
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 4: So my guess is they are shopping at Costco in bulk.

304
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 3: In bulk wo kids go w with Costco, the Costco brand, the.

305
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: Way to go.

306
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 4: You know, I have not come around to the clothes

307
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: like you have. But what I do like now is

308
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: going around lunchtime. That way you can sample. And I'm

309
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 4: gonna ask you about that in a minute, because I'm

310
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: not a veteran of Costco the way you are. Usually

311
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 4: the wife goes and makes the Costco runs and I'm

312
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: back at home trying to hold down the wild Indian

313
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: aka CoA racist. But because of the schedule change in

314
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 4: how Covino and Rich and myself were on Monday Tuesday

315
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 4: Wednesday for the Great Dan Patrick, I found myself with

316
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: the middle of the day open as I was driving home.

317
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: So my wife, as a lot of us who are married,

318
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 4: you'll get a list right at the end of your workday.

319
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: We need this this, and we're out of this, and

320
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 4: either you have enough energy to go tackle that your

321
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: way home or you do it the next day. So

322
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 4: this is a Monday, about twelve noon at our Costco

323
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 4: and I pull in there is there's no parking ever

324
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 4: at this damn place. It looked like I mean, I

325
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 4: don't know, I've been there on the weekend before and

326
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: I thought it was Saturday.

327
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: Well, my move.

328
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: When I go I actually do end up going on

329
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: the weekend a lot now because my schedule. But what

330
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: I do is I just plan on getting some steps in.

331
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: So I park about as far away like I'm in

332
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: another county.

333
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm literally in another county.

334
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: And I know, going if I go on a to

335
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: a Costco on a Friday or not not not Friday

336
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: is not too bad. But on on Saturday or Sunday,

337
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: like you know, you're parking in the next city. And

338
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: so I bring my walking shoes and I'm like, yeah,

339
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: it's a it's a nightmare. It's a I don't I

340
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: don't even bother why I even bother, because you end

341
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: up driving in circles.

342
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: There's a million people around. It's a big pain in

343
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: the ass. But that's my move.

344
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: But that's prime sample time, so you kind of have

345
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: to go where the crowd is because that's when they

346
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 3: have the sample.

347
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 4: People out see And I thought, you know, in my mind,

348
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: I'm like, it's a random Monday in April. It's not

349
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 4: gonna be overcrowded. Dead wrong. So I get inside after

350
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: finally finding a parking space way far out there, I

351
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: make the walk. I get inside and it is packed

352
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 4: in there. Not just packed with shoppers, but there were

353
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: lots of snot nosed kids running around. And then it

354
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,359
Speaker 4: occurred to me, oh shit, for at least for southern California,

355
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 4: it is spring break for the elementary schools right now.

356
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 4: So I think the move was the moms were like,

357
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: shut up and get your clothes on and get in

358
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: the car. We're gonna go get our groceries at Costco

359
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 4: and if you're good, then I'll get you a slice

360
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 4: of pizza exactly. Yeah. So I'm in there, Ben, and

361
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 4: you know, I'm grabbing the things off the list, and

362
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 4: it's taken me a lot longer than it does my

363
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 4: better half, because she's a Costco pro like you, she

364
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: knows where everything is located. I have a general idea

365
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 4: of where the items are in cast but I'm like,

366
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 4: you know, damn it where I think I had to

367
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 4: get like chicken breast nuggets, and like, I had an

368
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 4: idea of where it was, but there was nowhere to

369
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 4: push my cart in that damn lane. There were so

370
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 4: many old people and people with kids in there, I

371
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: wanted to leave. The only good part was because I

372
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: was there at lunchtime, I saw the Costco employees getting

373
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 4: ready with their sample stations.

374
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: Oh you spot.

375
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 3: That's like going to Disneyland and sitting in the mascots

376
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 3: behind the state, you know, behind them.

377
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, it's like when you see them getting

378
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 4: ready to start a parade at Disneyland. Yeah they go, yes,

379
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 4: And you know how the people attending Disneyland that day,

380
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: they start sitting on the curbs and swarming the area

381
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: where the parade the parade route. Well, that's what this

382
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 4: was like. Because I wasn't the only one who spotted

383
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 4: one to oh there's a third sample station. There's a fourth,

384
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 4: not two, not three, counted four in my general area.

385
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: And they had like the little toaster oven things where

386
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: they were getting the little samples heated up and ready

387
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 4: to go in the little cups. There were people like vultures.

388
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 4: They were hanging around trying to mooch and get their

389
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 4: moocha on first and fast. I have never fought that

390
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 4: many carts and that many people for a little cup

391
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: of what turned out to be like two cheese chips.

392
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 4: What a flip and ripoff? Now, if you're gonna give

393
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 4: me a sample? And I waited around for it, and

394
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 4: I fought through three carts and two rude people, and

395
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: I was getting dirty looks by people who had parked

396
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 4: their first waiting for the samples and nothing was being

397
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 4: handed out. Yet I finally get one of the cups.

398
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 4: I was like third or fourth in line, and it

399
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 4: literally was two little cheese chips in a cup. Now,

400
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 4: But I get to the fourth station and they were

401
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 4: handing out crackers with like chicken spread on there, like

402
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 4: you know when you do the chicken in the mayonnaise.

403
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: With the Yeah, she had chicken or something like that.

404
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: Yet I got you here.

405
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want my chicken on these multi grain crackers,

406
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 4: and they sold me. It's the first time ever where

407
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 4: I bought something because I had it as a sample

408
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 4: at Costco Little Taste, they suckered me in. I bought

409
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 4: the ten dollars box of crackers. I get in line,

410
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 4: and you know, like I said, I'm not a pro

411
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 4: like you are at Costco. So when the lady asked

412
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 4: for my Costco card, I showed her the wrong side.

413
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 4: I guess any way, they don't want yeah, because they're

414
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 4: trying to scan the code on your card. So the

415
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 4: checker gives me a dirty look. Sorry, I turned the

416
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 4: card around and she had attitude from the start before

417
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 4: I walk over to get my slice of pizza, like

418
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 4: the little snunt nosed kids. I'm like, I deserve this

419
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 4: after what I just went through. They didn't even ask me,

420
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: now do you I wanted to ask you this. Do

421
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 4: you have to ask for a box or boxes?

422
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: Uh?

423
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 3: I usually do self checkout, so they usually have them

424
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: around self checkout. You can uh. Sometimes I'll say do

425
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 3: you want a box? Usually if you depends on how

426
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: much stuff you have, they'll be, hey, do you need

427
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: a box or something like that?

428
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 4: Right, they don't ask you. Well, no, and I had

429
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: I had quite a lot of produce and I wanted

430
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 4: to shove this stuff in a box.

431
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: Box is solid, but yeah place its way to go.

432
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. And the checker was super irritated because I'm

433
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 4: pushing the cart. I start walking away, but I realized

434
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 4: she didn't even ask me if I need a box

435
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 4: or two? So I go back and she's like m

436
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 4: and she put her hand out like you wait now,

437
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 4: because she was starting to ring up the next person.

438
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: Damn man, the people here are the customers are rude.

439
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: Now the employee is rude. She's like, look, yeah, you

440
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: could take just take it, she said, just take it yourself.

441
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Wow.

442
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, just having a bad day. I guess usually Costco

443
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 3: people are pretty happy.

444
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm not. They're not as happy as Trader Joe's people,

445
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: but they're usually pretty happy.

446
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, Costco, she said, just take it yourself. So I

447
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 4: threw this crap in a box. I go to the

448
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 4: food court, and you know, by nature, I'm a usual

449
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: Usually I'm a happy person. I don't complain about much.

450
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 4: I'm pretty easy to take care of. I'm like a plant.

451
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 4: You water me, and I'm happy. I'm smiling. I don't

452
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: I don't require a lot of attention. But I got

453
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 4: to complain for a second about what they're doing to

454
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: the food court there at Costco.

455
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

456
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: They changed that a couple of years ago at Costco. Yeah,

457
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: the kiosk thing, and they I guess they you can

458
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 3: still actually pay with cash. They usually have one cash register.

459
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 3: But nobody knows that they have like one cash register.

460
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: But it is an odd process because then you have

461
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: certain people that that don't older people that don't understand

462
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: the concept of hey, you gotta go wait in line,

463
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 3: or they just line up.

464
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 4: For the food. I'm so happy you said that, because

465
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 4: we had two older people cut the line and go

466
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 4: right to the window. So we're all standing there wasting

467
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 4: our time now right with a dumb number. And why

468
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 4: are you giving me a number if I'm not even

469
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 4: going to get my food until I get up to

470
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 4: the front of the window. It just doesn't make any

471
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 4: sense to me. So this kid hands me my pepsi

472
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 4: cup and my little slice of my big slice of pizza.

473
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: I guess and it was bland, no sauce on the pie,

474
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 4: mostly dough.

475
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: Uh oh.

476
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 4: I feel like the next time I go there, I

477
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 4: am not going to partake in the Costco pizza any longer.

478
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: It's blasphemy. It's too bad that you didn't enjoy it.

479
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: And I did learn from this podcast Danny that the

480
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 3: kiosk thing. One of the reasons Costco likely went to

481
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: the kiosk is what McDonald's They also went to a

482
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: kiosk format at a lot of McDonald's. You order on

483
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 3: the kiosk, they determine. We talked about this in a

484
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 3: previous episode of the Fifth Hour podcast, that human beings

485
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 3: are prone to order more food at a kiosk than

486
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: they are when a human being is asking what they

487
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: want because you feel no shame. If somebody says, hey,

488
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 3: what do you want, you feel like a pig a hawser,

489
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: as my grandfather would say, if you order too much food.

490
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: But at a kiosk, no one's looking. And they don't

491
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: do it as much at Costco as they do at

492
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: McDonald's and the other like fast food restaurants.

493
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: They'll like upsell you.

494
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: They're like, hey, you got some fries, would you like

495
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 3: to also get an apple pie with that? You know,

496
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 3: they'll add other things on and they'll flash them and

497
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: just click yes.

498
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 1: And no one's seen us.

499
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 3: You're going to order more food and all that, but

500
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 3: the Costco flow away.

501
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: I can go away.

502
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 4: Apparently.

503
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 3: Now it is Easter weekend and this being the Saturday

504
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 3: before Easter egg hunt, kind of an Easter egg hunt

505
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 3: and kind of not. And I bring this up because

506
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: it is a tradition unlike any other. This time we

507
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: take a look at Easter candy and we have a map.

508
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 3: They do the research based on interweb research trends and whatnot.

509
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: And I asked Danny, the most pop you know this

510
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: is per state in the United States. Here they analyze

511
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 3: the trends via Google search data or data, and this

512
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: goes from a March fourteenth through this past Monday, April fourteenth,

513
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 3: and they used again Google research to determine the favorite

514
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: holiday treat, favorite Easter candy by state by state? Danny,

515
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: should we just pick a random state? Here?

516
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: You can you can guess, guess the candy. What do

517
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: you want to what do you want to do? How

518
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: do you I ain't gonna play this.

519
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll take a random state.

520
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you think?

521
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 3: How about we do the state of Minnesota. The state

522
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 3: of Minneso, Minnesota.

523
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: Nice?

524
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 3: What do you think the most popular Eastern candy in

525
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 3: Minnesota is easter.

526
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say peeps.

527
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: That is correct, Yeah, Danny, you one.

528
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 3: In fact, if you answer peeps to pretty much any state,

529
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: I don't.

530
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: I don't get it, Dandy. I've never I had peeps

531
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: a couple times when I was a kid, and I said,

532
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: these are disgusting. I don't but people barely love them.

533
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: Or is it people love.

534
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 3: Them or they just simply think it's Easter and this

535
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 3: is an Easter candy, and so I have to get

536
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 3: these and and.

537
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 4: I think some of it, yeah, it's mostly sugar. I

538
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 4: think some of it is the sugar high and also

539
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 4: a lot of it is nostalgia.

540
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Peeps is the number one, number one candy

541
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 3: Easter candy in pretty much every state the outside of

542
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 3: there's a pocket in the Northeast, like in Maine, main

543
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: they like peanut peanut butter eggs, they like those. Hamshire

544
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 3: also likes peanut butter eggs, and then gum in the

545
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: state of Vermont, and I think Rhode Island. But every

546
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: other state outside of the the in the Northeast, every

547
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: other state in the South, all peeps.

548
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: Number one one. That Kittles is at the very top

549
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: in Alaska.

550
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: And then you've got this weird region where like yet Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah,

551
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 3: where it's all a bunch of different different candies that

552
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 3: they like, but it's it's almost all Peeps. There's a

553
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: few gummies, lollipops, jelly beans also popular, m and ms,

554
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 3: and chocolate eggs, but Peeps is the runaway winner.

555
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 4: Now, when you were little, Benny, well maybe you were

556
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: never little back then, but when you were young, Benny,

557
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 4: I could imagine you trying to hustle as many eggs

558
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: as you could find because there were jelly beans inside.

559
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: I was a Cadbury egg. Guy, I love the Cadbury egg.

560
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: One year, a listener sent, but could you eat more

561
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: than one of those? Though? Back in my day?

562
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh, they're so rich.

563
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: I loved it.

564
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: I had no sensitivity to the richness. I could not

565
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: get enough of that.

566
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 4: How many of those could you take out in one sitting?

567
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: Oh? I mean they used to come in like five packs.

568
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: I could do a five pack. I could do it,

569
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: and I think they're going three packs now. But our

570
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 3: listener sent me years ago, I think you were with

571
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: me and they got the big bag.

572
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 4: Of just yeah, yeah, that's right.

573
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: It was so good.

574
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 4: But I only saw you take a bite when the

575
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: listener sent it, So I don't even know if you

576
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 4: could finish two of those now.

577
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 3: Well now, yeah, I'm boring and I fast all the

578
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 3: time and all, but every once in a while on

579
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 3: the weekends, I let my hair down go crazy.

580
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: The word all the week. Turn out for the word

581
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: all the.

582
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 4: Week of the week.

583
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: Word of the week is tariff. Why not?

584
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 3: It's been in the news a lot recently, tariff. So

585
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: I thought, where did this word come from? This seems

586
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: an oddward well originally is an Arabic word but in

587
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: English it was picked up from Italian tail end of

588
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: the sixteenth century, and it's not used the same way

589
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: today that it was then, as words changed in the

590
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 3: sixteenth century. In that lexicon it meant an arithmetic an

591
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 3: arithmetetic table. Easy for me to say, basically, it was

592
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: a way to do math in yeah, And over the

593
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: years there were similar words to it in different languages,

594
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: in Spanish and Portuguese and Dutch and French and Turkish

595
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 3: and all these. The root of it though, is from

596
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: the Middle East, and it originally meant a notification.

597
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: Tariff met a notification or.

598
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: An announcement, or an explanation or the act of making

599
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: someone or someone aware or known. So it does kind

600
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: of make sense if you think of what a tariff

601
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: is today it's attacks. And so you combine the sixteenth

602
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 3: century lexicon meaning, which is arithmetic like a math table,

603
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: and the other. The other way you would approach it

604
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: with yourself was an announcement. So you're announcing that you are

605
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: doing some extra math, you're adding some math ons.

606
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: Then congratulations, love it.

607
