00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,680

00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: being here. Jam. You've really been writing a lot for

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: the show since Miles went out for a brief period.

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: Um And yeah, thanks for doing that. But your brain

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: is just polluted with the trends of what is happening

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: many trends Jesus. But first I should wish you a

00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: for I'm happy the thing you just said back to

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: you unto you as well. All right, enough fucking round.

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Horrifying news is becoming very I guess common um or

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: has been very common for a horrifyingly long time. Uh,

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: there's a mass shooting at Michigan State University too. You know,

18
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: sad in progress story. But the forty three year old

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: suspect was found dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound.

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: Three students were killed, five were hurt. He had a

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: three page document expressing his reasons for the attack, and

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: a number of additional locations and Lansing and whole Michigan,

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of bunch of other places. Uh. Yeah, it

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: just seems like another person who should have had a gun.

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: And like his dad, I think he came out and

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: was like, I've been trying to keep guns out of

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: his hands for a long time and the system just

28
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: doesn't allow it. And the United States doesn't allow it. Yeah,

29
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: and he said he asked him if he had a gun,

30
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: and he would say no, even though he clearly had

31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: a gun. That's what we have to rely on in

32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: the United States. Jam, you're not from the United States.

33
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: What do you think? How are we doing? We're killing it? Well,

34
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you know there's a lot of guns here too.

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: In Canada, there is, Yeah. I mean it's not the same,

36
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: it's not the same culture, but it seems like more

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: and more, I think everything, uh in Canada is kind

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: of just like we copy everything in the U. S.

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: It's just delayed a little. And I think I think

40
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: that's happening now with the bad things as well. You

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: know what it's like, it's not just yeah, culture ownership

42
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: and bro, what do you mean bad things? Okay, yeah,

43
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's just, you know, it's so appalling,

44
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: and it's so it felt like reading the news today.

45
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong because I'm not watching TV or anything

46
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: or cable news, but it felt like this one was

47
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: really just kind of accepted or glossed over or oh,

48
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: this is the thing that happens. Yeah, it's just like

49
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: and just the numbness to something that should be you know,

50
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: a rare, awful, extraordinarily terrible event. To have this just

51
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: become a regular part of the news cycle is is

52
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: just so depressing. It is. Um. Ted Cruise was so

53
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: over it that, uh, you know, this morning already he

54
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: was dropping gems like this on Twitter. Take Cruise quote, Uh,

55
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: roses are red, violets are blue. Biden wants to ban

56
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: gas stoves and is allowing the Chinese to surveil us too.

57
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Um the I mean, there's something about the the pentameter

58
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: of that that didn't quite work for me. But well,

59
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: you've got to imagine it with like bongos in the

60
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: background and like a San Francisco coffee house in the sixties.

61
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: Ted Cruise vibes, you know, but does suggest that he's

62
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: still doing his own tweeting, which is amazing. Did he

63
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: just like have that in his drafts? And it was like,

64
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: so it's too good not to send despite the tragedy. Yes,

65
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: too good and also so good that it might distract

66
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: people from the tragedy. Just want to share a little

67
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: bit of political joy with with my followers. You know,

68
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: he's smart, he's he's got a good good ear for poetry,

69
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: um and a keen sensitivity to the needs of the nation.

70
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: So I like that he combined the gas stove thing,

71
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: which everyone kind of forgot about with the Chinese surveillance story. Yeah,

72
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: I did it so smoothly and is allowing that Chinese

73
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: to surveil on us too. Nailed it, poet, truly. Let's

74
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: see what so the Rust movie that most people know

75
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: about because Alec Baldwin killed somebody with a gun that

76
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: was supposed to be firing blanks and firing not blanks.

77
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: There are more articles about Rust now since the tragedy

78
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: than there were. There wasn't a lot of hype for

79
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: for Rust, yes, and they are now. So you would

80
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: think that the fact that everybody knows about this would

81
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: be a thing that makes them be like, well, that

82
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: is a stain on all of our careers. Uh, let's

83
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 1: move along. All of us should change our names, moved

84
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: to new countries and take up you know, coppling or

85
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: something like that. However, instead they're like, there's a lot

86
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: of heat on this Rust project, so we better We're

87
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: gonna pick back up on the production. Um in the yeah,

88
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: they're still going, that's what that Neil Young song is about.

89
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Rust never sleeps. It's about this production not showing down.

90
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure that is an amazing reference to a Neil

91
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: Young fanum or I just made it up because I

92
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: know you're not a fan. Yeah, yeah, Rust in the

93
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: immortal words of the Bard Neil Young, Rust never sleeps. Uh.

94
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: That's that's a cool, cool little bit of poetry. Though

95
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: Russ never sleeps. Uh and yeah truly does not in

96
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: this case. Um, I did not realize this. Maybe it

97
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: could be a thing that I covered at the time

98
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: on this show and just didn't enter my brain, like

99
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: of the things we cover on this show. But uh

100
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: that Alec Baldwin plays a character in the movie who

101
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: is sentenced to hang for an accidental murder. He accidentally

102
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: murdered somebody, um and is being prosecuted for it is

103
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, but it's like it's a Western, right, like

104
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: it wasn't he didn't shoot someone like while they're making

105
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: like a kinescope or something, right, Yeah, but it's I

106
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: don't know. And also one headline put it to resume

107
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: production in the spring with a new cinematographer, which is

108
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: like very dark and grim, but also probably deserved of

109
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: the of the production to do that, um too, to

110
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: put it that way, because yeah, that that must be happening.

111
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: They must be hiring a new cinematographer who I don't

112
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: know where they're at in their career where they're like

113
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: a cinematographer on rust. Yeah, I'm sure, Yeah, let's let's

114
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: give it a shot. It does just seem like why not,

115
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: why where where do we have to go for here?

116
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: That we need this movie so badly? I don't know,

117
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: And who's gonna go see it? Like? Does anyone want

118
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: to go see this movie after the only thing we

119
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: know about it is that something awful happened on it.

120
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: I really think that don't worry darling fucked us. I really,

121
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: I really think the fact that don't worry Darling had

122
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: a big opening weekend really sent the wrong message to

123
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Hollywood that that that was the Hairy Styles Olivia Wild

124
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: movie that upon seeing it is truly not ship. Um

125
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: it's not not it's not the worst thing I've ever seen,

126
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: but it's just like not good. And I was surprised

127
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: that it hit as hard as it did, given it

128
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: was like this movie that feels like a prestige, like

129
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: Oscar bait movie. And then it came out and everyone

130
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh, it's not good, it's not good, nobody go.

131
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: But I think the accepted wisdom is that like controversy

132
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: got people interested, and so now they're going to just

133
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: like do ship like this, which is not great. That's

134
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: not that's not ideal. I would say, it's just like

135
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes stories generate interests even if even

136
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: if they're terrible. I'm still not sure that's what happened

137
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: like that, I think don't worry Darling had one of

138
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: the like greatest good trailer to disappointing movie like ratios

139
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: that I've seen. Like that trailer was intriguing, Like that

140
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: trailer was awesome, it was like a great work of art,

141
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: Like that was just a short film, I would have

142
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: been like hell yeah, But then once you had to

143
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: hang a narrative on that trailer that went for an

144
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: hour a half, it was like, this doesn't really make Yeah,

145
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't really work, doesn't hang together. But yeah, I

146
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: didn't even mind that movie. But I think if you

147
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: go through, if you watch it in the mindset that

148
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a goofy, like nineties outer limits

149
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of show. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's it's like a yeah,

150
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of just a bit more you know, frivolous

151
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: than than maybe the trailers suggested. But right, Yeah, Also

152
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: the town. We we talked about the trained railment a

153
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: week late, but we talked about it yesterday. Um and

154
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: where I guess on this morning's episode we talked about

155
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: the trained railment. But one thing we didn't mention was

156
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: that they filmed So White Noise, the Dondelilo novel that

157
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: is everyone's like that he predicted that this would happen,

158
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Like a small town, there's a trained railment. There is

159
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: an airborne cloud that like doesn't behave like a cloud should.

160
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: It just kind of hovers over the town and like

161
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: starts following people around and ship and it's very strange,

162
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: which is kind of what we saw happening in Ohio

163
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: that they filmed the Noah Bomback film adaptation of that

164
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: novel that just came out on Netflix last year in

165
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: the town where the trained railm it just happened, and

166
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the people who are being displaced because

167
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: of the trained railm it are extras from the film

168
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: adaptation that just happened, Like, what the funk is happening?

169
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: I think it's that. Uh, it's like a Goose Bump

170
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: story or something where Noah Bomback has some kind of cursed,

171
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: enchanted camera and whatever he films happens. Who knows how

172
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: many divorces resulted as because he made Squid in the Whale, Like,

173
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: we should probably check to see if wherever he goes

174
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: the thing that he makes in his movies happen there.

175
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: But this is just the biggest thing that he's made.

176
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: After that, we all just assumed that Jesse Eisenberg was

177
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: the per and who made the Pink Floyd album The Wall,

178
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: and I really love that movie, and I think that

179
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: joke was very funny, but not the joke I just

180
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: told the joke from the movie. By the way, And

181
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: I think the joke I just told was very funny.

182
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, good job me. Yeah, very strange. I mean

183
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: it does feel like reality is glitching out as these

184
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: things happen. And there are UFOs, but I will get

185
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: into why. I don't think the UFOs are alien in nature.

186
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: Um and yeah, in an article written by you to

187
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: my episode, this story did remind me that I never

188
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: watched the White Noise movie I just came out. I

189
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: didn't watch, and then I forgot about it completely until

190
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah. I didn't watch the movie. I do

191
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: love the novel, and I think I'm going to now

192
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: reread the novel. Yeah, I think I might reread it too.

193
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: I remember I went to a book signing that Don

194
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: Delilo had a few years ago, and he was only

195
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: signing his new book and the guy in front of

196
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: me brought White Ways and like a handler came over.

197
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, no, no no, yeah, yeah, that's funny.

198
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,

199
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: and we're back, and let's see. Farrell Williams will be

200
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: Louis Vetan's next Men's creative director, so Pharrell Williams will

201
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: succeed Virgil Ablow as Louis Vuitton's men's creative director. Uh,

202
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: which this this doesn't really mean a lot to me.

203
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: Farrell Williams, it's a Virgil a blow was known to

204
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: me for making some of my favorite sneakers, the one

205
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: piece of men's attire that I actually pay attention to.

206
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: Pharrell Williams is mainly known to me for making great

207
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: beats and wearing a funny hat and being happy all

208
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, and being happy all the time. But

209
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: also the hat was like a little ahead of at

210
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: the time, because like the stupid full brimmed hat wave

211
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: came afterwards. So maybe he is like way more fashion

212
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: forward than I assumed. But I don't think he's done

213
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: other things too, Like I don't think this is the

214
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: first fashion job he's had. I think he's he's had

215
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: some other gigs. Oh yeah, I think he did have

216
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: a pair of sneakers that I liked from Adidas. Yeah,

217
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: they were like easy light, like they were Easies but

218
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: a little less stupid looking. And I did have those.

219
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: Um yeah, but I don't think, Yeah, I don't think

220
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: this is going to affect my life too much either.

221
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: The the Louis Vaton uh, the next time event Louis

222
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: Vaton store. I don't even know. I was going to

223
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: make a joke the next time I'm in the store.

224
00:13:52,840 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: But is that a thing? Yeah, dude, timet Uh, restaurants

225
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: to watch sometimes a little behind the scene, behind the scenes. Uh.

226
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes when we're doing trends, I just go to the

227
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: takeout dot com and I look at their front page

228
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: and sometimes they have an article that I want to

229
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: talk about. And today is one of those one such day.

230
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: Eleven restaurant chains to watch ine number one on their

231
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: list seven eleven. M. Yes, do you guys have seven

232
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: seven's eleven up there? We do. And I think they

233
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: just like within the last year so announced that they're

234
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna be doing this, like having like little restaurant areas

235
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: that are like licensed for alcohol, so you can you know,

236
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're booked for Valentine's Day, but uh, you

237
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: know you can go have dinner and a and a

238
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: cocktail maybe and and you know watch people watch drunk teenagers,

239
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, buying chips. Yeah. Yeah. The article starts with

240
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: the sentence, if you don't think of seven eleven as

241
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: a restaurant, you haven't been paying attention I don't think

242
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: that's true. I don't think that's why I don't think

243
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: of seven eleven as a restaurant. Um, the convenience story

244
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: leader isn't just nipping at the heels of major fast

245
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: food brands, it's surpassing them. Yeah, I mean it's a

246
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: I think, okay fast food. If you don't think of

247
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: it as a restaurant, you have standards given up, yes,

248
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: and I do not have standards, And yet here we are.

249
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: I didn't I think of seven eleven as a restaurant

250
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: until now. I think it talked about Wendy's Burger King, Sure,

251
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: but seven eleven I always associated more with scratchers and

252
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: getting jewel things there, like a jewel album from the nineties,

253
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: like the jewel cartridges, the vape cartridges. Yeah, and the

254
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: big goal, you know, which is which is you know,

255
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: a food item? Another thing that they called out another

256
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: restaurant to call that they called you know. They They've

257
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: got Chipotle, They've got David Busters, which I'm excited to

258
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: find out. Why I need to be paying attention there

259
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: fat burger Um. They also have Fizzoli's, the restaurant they

260
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: recently came up because I went to middle and high

261
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: school in Lexing in Kentucky, where Fizzoli's originated. This is

262
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: Italian food. Ellipses fast um and you can get drive

263
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: through baked ZD. The Big ZD is good, but it's

264
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was surprised as I mentioned this,

265
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: I was like, so shout out to Kentucky. Fazzoles is

266
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: on the move. They are everywhere throughout the South, so

267
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. They opened a ghost kitchen serving chicken

268
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: wings in Atlanta and so they're trying different things out.

269
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: Keep your eye on Fazzolets. They also had like Jersey Mike.

270
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. These are all restaurants that kind of

271
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: run together for me otherwise, but fizzoli is baby if

272
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: if it does feel like an idea that should work

273
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: fast fast Italian food, nobody else has tried it. The

274
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: breadsticks are solid, little breadstick Marinara. Do you guys have

275
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 1: fast Italian chains where where you are? We probably do.

276
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: We don't have Fizzoli's. I've never heard of Fizzoli's. It

277
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: looks it doesn't sound real ort and the logo looks

278
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: like it was it's just a tomato. Yeah, it looks

279
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: like it looks like a fake restaurant created for like

280
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: a Garfield cartoon or something to me. But I don't know.

281
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: We do have like there's like the pizza vending machines

282
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: now where you can get like pizza made by a

283
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: vending machine or something that's pretty fast. I guess that

284
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: is very fast. Do they have it like where you

285
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: can drive up to it and not get out of

286
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 1: your car when in order a pizza? That? Then? I

287
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think you have through a pneumatic tube,

288
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: like one of the old tiny bags, you can get

289
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: pizza shot in into your car. Um. All right, Well,
