Kids are a little antsy. 98 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: Wednesday morning early, everything's normal. First couple of kids arrive. 99 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 3: There is a what they call a zero period at 100 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 3: the school. Do you know what that is? Yeah? 101 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: They didn't have that when I was around, but I am. 102 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: I am aware. Yes, Yeah, you got to get. 103 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 4: There early, and those kids get to leave early. I 104 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 4: think I would have signed up, wouldn't you have? 105 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: I believe I was not. 106 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: It's nice leaving early, but I was not. I'm still 107 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: not a morning person, like I, yes, I don't know. 108 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 3: Good thing, you're not on the radio early in the morning. 109 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: No, I know, I know, but I would I really 110 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: don't get like. My motors started in later in the day, 111 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: even when I was younger, so I don't know that 112 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: I would do well. But yeah, if I was a 113 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: morning person, I'd be like, oh, let's gets thing on, 114 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: get it over with, get me out of there. I 115 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: don't want to deal with the bull crap later in 116 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: the day it is out. 117 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 118 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 4: This zero period is kind of confusing on campus too, 119 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 4: because the school bells keep going off at seven am. 120 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: But they don't do zero period every day, but the 121 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 4: bells always ring. Some days the gates entrance to the 122 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 4: school is closed. Other days the gates are wide open. 123 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: The days that the gates are wide open, my job 124 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 4: is much easier because all of the early arrivors can 125 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 4: just go right to my classroom. The days where they 126 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 4: have it all locked up like a fortress, I have 127 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 4: to continually go to the front and let each kid 128 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 4: in like a valet. 129 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 3: What's your name, son? Round? 130 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 4: So I let the first few kids in there are 131 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: now I don't know about four seventh graders inside my classroom, 132 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: and that could be a problem with no supervision. So 133 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 4: I go and I let the next kid in. I 134 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 4: do my long back and I'm thinking cardio steps. 135 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: This is good. 136 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 4: I'm it's like crisp morning air. I'm getting some steps in. 137 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 4: I get back to the classroom and two of the 138 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 4: seventh graders are sword fighting in the middle of the room. 139 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: I'm like fencing, Like, are they the Star Wars? 140 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 4: So one kid has one of those long rulers that 141 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 4: sits on the what used to be a chalkboard. Now 142 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 4: it's a combo of a flat screen with one of 143 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 4: those dry erase boards. 144 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: Sure, I don't know the kid, but I gotta tell 145 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: you that would make a good lightsaber. 146 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: He's got that as his. 147 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 4: The other kid has one of those long tubes that 148 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 4: posters go in. 149 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: Oh sure, that cardboard thing. 150 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 4: So they are in full battle mode, and as I 151 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: tell them, what the heck are you guys doing, the 152 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: one with the big cardboard poster tube hits the other 153 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 4: one right in the shoulder hard. You hear the sah 154 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 4: thump this kid. Now, I'm not sure what was inside 155 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 4: this tube or why it was in that classroom. Yeah, 156 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 4: but needless to say, the kid that got struck over 157 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 4: dramatically complained that he was hurt. And he now sat 158 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 4: in the corner of the room, and I'm like, I 159 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: did not ask you guys to sword fight while I 160 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 4: exited the room. Apparently he did not go to the 161 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 4: nurse's office or complain. But for Thursday morning, all Thursday morning, 162 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 4: while I was there, I thought that you know that 163 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 4: feeling you have where you're headed for some trouble. I 164 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 4: thought I was going to get canceled. 165 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: Oh, he's probably not that bright to figure that out. 166 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: But who would win? Like he got the long ruler, yeah, 167 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: which is wood, but it's like balsa wood. It's not 168 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: thick wood, right, I assume it's not the thick wood. 169 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: But then you've got the cardboard, which is probably pretty thick, 170 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: but it's cardboard. 171 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: It's one of those big heavy ones that was in 172 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: the classroom, all right, So. 173 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: You would have an advantage. You would be head in 174 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: that battle. You should win the role poster rule. 175 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I got to say it made a really 176 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 3: good sound effect when he nailed that kid in the shoulder. 177 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: Now, were there were other kids watching this or oh? 178 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, they had five or six spectators to their lightsaber fight. 179 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, probably had making bets, you know, they had that 180 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: all going on. And anyway, all right, well listen, it's 181 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: the beauty of school, all right. So we have the 182 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: idiom of the week, the not to be confused with 183 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: the word of the week, that's totally different. This is 184 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,479 Speaker 1: the idiom of the week. 185 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 3: The week. 186 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, and it's called shot in the arm. 187 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: Shot in the arm is the idiom of the week. 188 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: I think we know what that means most of us. 189 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: I use it from time to time. I don't use 190 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: it all the time. That's a shot in the arm, 191 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: but a sudden or encouraging events, quick enhancement, right, something 192 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: that gives you a little bit of a boost, a 193 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: little bit of a boost. The idiom shot in the arm, 194 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: that is a colloquial expression, as we said, means something, 195 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, energy, enthusiasm, confidence, helps you out right. The 196 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: Clippers traded for James Harden, and that gave him a 197 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: shot in the arm until James Harden played like a dog. 198 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: What is still wrong with the Clippers? The dog with fleas? 199 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: But a shot in the arm. Very a colorful phrase. 200 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: The history, though, does not the backstory in this does 201 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: not go back that far, does not the idiom a 202 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: shot in the arm. The belief among those that study 203 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: this crap is that the term originated only in the 204 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: earliest twentieth century, the early twentieth centuries. It is not 205 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: that long ago when you think about the history of 206 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: the world, and it began a around the time. It 207 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: coincided with the time the hyperdermic needle became a big 208 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: popular thing for people, and they began using the phrase, 209 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, a sudden boost of energy and all that. 210 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: But it first appeared in the form it's in now 211 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: in print in nineteen sixty an article on something called 212 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: the Lewiston Evening Journal, and they went into it and 213 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: they were talking about the upcoming presidential elections. In that 214 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: period of time, the war veterans could give politics a 215 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: shot in the arm, they said. That's how they phrased it, 216 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: and the term. They believed that it's a bit of 217 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: a mystery about exactly who used it first, but it 218 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: was around that time, and they think it originated in 219 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: the medical field, like the military hospitals, where this is 220 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: kind of appropriate for the times we've been living in 221 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: recently here where the medical injection was a big thing. 222 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: The hyperdermic needle became a thing. Military people had to 223 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: get vaccinated for different things, and so the shot gave 224 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: you a boost, a boost of stamina for you soldiers. 225 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: So the idiom of the week is shot in the arm. 226 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: Shot in the arm, the idiom of the week. And 227 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: we move on now to footy fund. We're all about 228 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: that food by request Danny before I forget my buddy 229 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: sports with coleman is demanding a food review. 230 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 3: Now. 231 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: I did attend the La Rams game last week. The 232 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: Rams played the Cleveland Browns. Joe Flacco actually looked all right, 233 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: which was shocking. The Browns defense not that impressive, not 234 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: that impressive. Rams won going away. It was close for 235 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: a while, like most NFL games. But I go to 236 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: these games and it is a freeloaders paradise at these games. 237 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: Oh my god, insane and media freeloaders is my mentor 238 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: Jim Healy used to say back in the day. So 239 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: what I have done here is I have dissected the 240 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: different food options that are available now this game, the 241 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: Ram Browns game, they began they have two meals day, 242 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: so pregame they had among the food items that were available, 243 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: seasonal fruit platter, chicken and waffles which was just chicken 244 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: tenders and Belgian waffles covered in sugar, very good biscuits, 245 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: and gravy, sausage, gravy scrambled eggs with chives. Cheese tots, 246 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: not to be confused with the other kind of tots. 247 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: These were cheese tots that were available, and so you 248 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: could get that as well, And that was just the pregame. 249 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: Then they also had like a dessert bar where they 250 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: just had a bunch of candy bars and all that. 251 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: So they had that going for you. All kinds of 252 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: carbonated beverages that was available pregame at the Ram Browns game. 253 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: Then as the game progressed, as we got later in 254 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: the game, at halftime, because you've already eaten once, you've 255 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: got to eat again a couple hours later at halftime, 256 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: they had fried chicken sliders. Unfortunately, they did have pickles, 257 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: curly fries, mac and cheese bites. They had that at 258 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: the RAM game. Build your own chili dog and that 259 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: includes beef, chili, cheddar cheese, and onion. So that was 260 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: just some of the food that was available. 261 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 3: Don't tell me you were fasting during all of this. 262 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: Well, I did fast during the breakfast portion because I 263 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: don't use I like breakfast. But then I at like halftime, 264 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: I went for it. 265 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 3: I went big. 266 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: The cheesy not bad, the mac and cheese bites, solid 267 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: curly fries. 268 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 3: Were they lightly fried? 269 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: Uh? No, I mean they were fried. Yeah. 270 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: I don't like when those things are two fried. 271 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: No, no, I mean they were mass produced foods. 272 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, hard to find the right oil. 273 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: You get what you get. But I am told the 274 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: Belgian waffle was outstanding, that the sugar encased in that 275 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: was a win. So I'll have to try that at 276 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: a future event. Now, foody fun, because we all got 277 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: to eat, some of us have to shop to Costco. 278 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: Big news, big news on foody fun from Costco. They're 279 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: rolling out new and improved shopping carts, new and approved 280 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: Costco shopping carts that that is coming here. I thought 281 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: the Costco shopping cart is fine. I don't think they 282 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: needed to upgrade the shopping cart. But according to someone 283 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: who has all way too much free time on their hands, 284 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: Costco and a location in Wisconsin debuted a new shopping 285 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: cart which doesn't look any different than the old shopping cart. 286 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 4: This does make a difference to shoppers, though, Ben, because 287 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 4: I told my wife, I said, let's just stop at 288 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 4: this grocery store right here, because she's really picky about 289 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 4: what grocery store we're going to stop at.

It's the same first 292 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 4: name as that Irvin guy we used to work. 293 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: With, Burger all alone in first place after the third round. 294 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: He oh sure, sure, yeah, never heard of. 295 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 4: Like, I don't like that one. It's kind of ghetto 296 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 4: and the cart suck there. They all the carts have 297 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 4: bad wheels there. 298 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, like they need to clean inside that grocery store. 299 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 3: Oh like, no, I'm trying to get the best deals. 300 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 3: They have good deals in there. 301 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm see. I'm the same way. 302 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: I'll go to any grocery store I like. I like 303 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: going to like kind of seedy neighborhoods because you know, 304 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: the food's a little cheaper in there, and you get 305 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: some interesting things that I don't normally see at my 306 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: grocery store in the north Woods. So and I'll go all. 307 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 4: Over as long as it's not the grocery outlet where 308 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 4: I was scarred for life as a kid because my 309 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 4: mom would go in there and throw cans on the 310 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 4: ground to dent them even more to get a bigger discount. 311 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: Oh that's funny. 312 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 3: I've had like. 313 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 4: Adam Sandler and Big Daddy. If it's not grocery outlet, 314 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 4: I'm okay. But I am not walking inside a grocery. 315 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: Outlet, okay. So that that's off the board. 316 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 3: But that's where I draw the line. 317 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: And I've told the story before. Like I love good 318 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: Mexican food. I like to make food at home. So 319 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: but I'll go to like you know, and we live 320 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: in LA and there's some great. 321 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 3: Oh you go to the Latino markets. 322 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll go to the Mexican markets. Racist. And I 323 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: used to live in Lincoln Heights, which is like, you know, 324 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: Mecca for Mexico. That's where I started doing it. When 325 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: I lived in Lincoln Heights. There was a great market 326 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: and it was a Mexican theme, you know, obviously market, 327 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: and I was the gringo walking in there and I 328 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: loved it and food was wonderful. It's like amazing. I 329 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: was like, this is this is the way to go. Yeah, 330 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: So Costco apparently getting new shopping carts look exactly like 331 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: their old shopping cars. A lot of McDonald's news here 332 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: this week on Foody Fun. McDonald's announced their opening their 333 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: their first cosmic location in Boiling Brook, Illinois, which is 334 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: in Chicago, and so this I was reading about this, 335 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: and as I understand, I think this is their way 336 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: of taking market share away from Starbucks. I believe that's 337 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: what this is all about. This mc cosmic is just 338 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: a way to attack Starbucks. The menu has mostly drink items, 339 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: the coffee. They have other new items. There's something called 340 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: a sour cherry slow bush, a spicy Queso sandwich, savory 341 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: hash brown bites, and more. But it's not a McDonald 342 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: it's more like a coffee drink shop. 343 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 3: That's what it's said, somewhere you'd stop like on a 344 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: road trip. 345 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that goes in with another news nugget from McDonald's. 346 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: They are doubling down on chicken and coffee. They're going 347 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: big on the cold brew at Mickey De's. And I 348 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: think we mentioned this in a few weeks a few 349 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: weeks back, but they are going all in on AI. Also. 350 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: They have a plan to use AI loser. They claim 351 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: it will produce hotter, fresher food for customers. Eh. I 352 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: don't know about that, but that's what they say. They 353 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: partnered with Google Cloud and they're bringing AI to the kitchen. 354 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: They claim it will be used to simplify the way 355 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: that they make the food and all that we could 356 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: possibly go wrong? What could possibly go wrong with that? 357 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: And while we're at it, we told the story last 358 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: week on Foodie Fun about McDonald's and the big Mac 359 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: the smaller patties which guess got even smaller. Well, McDonald's 360 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: heard the pushback and they have determined, well, we probably 361 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: need to fix that. We probably need to fix that. 362 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: So McDonald's is going to introduce bigger hamburgers. They've decided, 363 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: you know what, these people complaining, I guess there's something 364 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: to it. They claim the pushback from customers who want 365 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: larger they say high quality burgers. I don't know that 366 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: you're going to get that. But a McDonald's executive announcing 367 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: two investors this week that the company plans to launch 368 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: a larger burger campaign. 369 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 3: You're going to charge me nine dollars for a burger, 370 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: It better fill me up? Yeah? 371 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: Now is it going to be actual meat? Are they 372 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: going to mix it in just more byproducts and meat 373 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: substitute's who knows. I don't know. They haven't, they haven't 374 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: done it yet, but yeah, you should you charge that 375 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: much for fast food, Like, come on, you gotta you 376 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: gotta do better, You gotta do better. 377 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 3: Now. 378 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: They're making all kinds of of upgrades allegedly. We talked 379 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: about that as well, But the size of the burger 380 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: not particularly a great I think that's all. Well, there's 381 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: one other McDonald's story that McDonald's has done very well 382 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: with gen Z because they brought Grimace back and that's 383 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: all that took. 384 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 3: They had that you like adult Grimace shake. Remember, Oh yeah, 385 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: that that. 386 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: Too, but they it's like a grown up kids. 387 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 3: Mew you know you see that? Yeah? 388 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, So, but grim is very popular and they claim 389 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: they have the numbers there and it helped the bottom 390 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: line for McDonald's. They scored very well, very well with 391 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: the Q score right right right. Well, Subway is launching 392 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: three new foot long items soon. Wasn't that exciting? None 393 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: of them are sandwiches though, So I didn't they get 394 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: sued because the foot long wasn't actually a foot long? 395 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I talked about it last weekend. That place stinks. 396 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: Subway not a fan, not a not a fan either. 397 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 3: Oh, Jersey Mike's is so much better. 398 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, last time I ate Subway. We were going out 399 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: to the forest and we needed sandwiches and it was 400 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: like the only sandwich shop that was around. So we 401 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: picked up some sandwiches and cruised out into the forest. 402 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: But it was not great they're selling. Here are the 403 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: items they have, Danny foot long for two dollars. That's 404 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: actually not a bad price. Foot long Turo foot long 405 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: turro from partnered with Cinnabon. 406 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 3: That sounds healthy. 407 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: Three dollars will get you a foot long pretzel, Okay, 408 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: get down with that. Yeah, it's an Anti Ann's pretzel 409 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: for three dollars. 410 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 3: What about the melted cheese with it? Though? 411 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: They does look like they have a cup of cheese 412 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: that might be extra. And then the final item on 413 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: the new foot long Sidekick menu is the foot long cookie, 414 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: which we talked about in the previous episode. This sings 415 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: five bucks and it looks like a boat, like the 416 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: whole of a boat, you know what it looks like. 417 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: But does it come with insulin? 418 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: It's pretty pretty good, so yeah, I don't think you'd 419 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: go wrong with any of those. 420 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 4: I think I would actually go get the pretzel better 421 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 4: than their sandwiches. 422 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: It's the size of your forearm. It is the size 423 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: of your forearmed, Danny, this foot long pretzel. So there 424 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: you see that you can rip Subway. But this seems 425 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: like a. 426 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I take everything back I said about Subway. 427 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: Except their sandwiches. Their sandwiches blow. 428 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 3: But this stuff then their sandwiches, which is what they serve, 429 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 3: they're awesome. 430 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, well I did mention Taco Bell for some reason. 431 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: But Taco Bell is welcoming back. Double decker Taco Oh 432 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: I saw this, and double decker Taco Supreme is back. 433 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 3: So are you I like those double decker tacos? Yeah? 434 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: And how much do those cost?

Well, 450 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: I might have to go to Panera and get one 451 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: of these caffeinated lemonade things. Did you see again? This 452 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: week someone blamed a lawyer blamed Panera for the death 453 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: of their client who died, they claim from the caffeation 454 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: in the in the Panera bread drink, don't they put 455 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: They put warnings on this stuff, but it doesn't matter, 456 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: so there's no other lawsuits thats been filed and all that. 457 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: How much sugar and caffeine do they put in that? 458 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: I have no idea, I've never had it, but it 459 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: must be an insane amount for some people to drop 460 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 1: dead based on drinking that. 461 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 4: I'm so happy, Ben that I've been looking into the 462 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 4: contents of some of these drinks, because I would go 463 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 4: to Starbucks, not every day, but maybe once or twice 464 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 4: a week and get like a frappucino. 465 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 3: There is like fifty three grams of sugar. Those fifty three. 466 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: Signed, and you're getting older when you start looking at 467 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: the content of sugar. 468 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 4: Well, I mean you kind of have to so that 469 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 4: you can live longer. Yeah, imagine drinking those daily like 470 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 4: some people do. 471 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 3: You're basically slowly killing yourself. Yeah. 472 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're enjoying it. Well, it happens, you know, 473 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: I guess. I mean you're enjoying the sugar and all. 474 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 3: That really quick. 475 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 4: By the way, double decker taco three nineteen for the regular, one, 476 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 4: three eighty nine for the supreme. 477 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: All right, so that's about I guess the rate and 478 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: anything in the three fifty to four dollars range for 479 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: tacos is good, but it's it's a fast food taco. 480 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that should be fifty cents cheaper. 481 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's still cheaper than Tito's Tacos, which is 482 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: also fast food, which is like almost six bucks of taco, 483 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: which is ridiculous on every level. Starbucks, they have this 484 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: Red Cup Day promotion that they've been doing, and I 485 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: guess it's not working anymore. It had less than half 486 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: the amount of added traffic as last year, so seems 487 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: that worked. What do I know. I'm not a marketing guy, 488 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: but Starbucks Red Cup Day promotion apparently wearing thin, the 489 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: public waning on it. So we'll see what they come 490 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: up with next year. But in the early early window this, 491 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, throw all the data's the chain claimed Starbucks 492 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: based in Seattle, they got a thirty one point seven 493 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: percent foot traffic boost on on Thursday, the sixteenth of November. 494 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: But you start digging around the numbers and you're like, well, 495 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: wait a minute, this is actually not as good as 496 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: it would indicate, or you would think that would be 497 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: the case. And we have what do we have next year? 498 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 3: Oh? 499 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: We were backscratcher. Are you ready for backscratcher? Of course 500 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: you are now backscratcher. This is where we beg people 501 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: to send using who follow the podcast, not subscribe to 502 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: the podcast, follow the podcast the fifth hour this week, Danny, 503 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: did we get zero one or two one numero?
