<v Speaker 2>we talked about. I think the last time we did

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 2>talk in coffee where we discovered something called pocket coffee.

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:43.120

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Just to remind, there was a writer at a place

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 2>called Taste of Home and she discovered pocket coffee, and

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>she she talked about the things when she heard about

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 2>pocket coffee, the things she thought it could be to

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 2>her fresh people's memory. She said, maybe it was a

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Starbucks coffee size that's smaller than tall, but larger than

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.679
<v Speaker 2>a pup cup, So a pocket coffee.

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:13.399

<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.160

<v Speaker 1>similar to gogurt.

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, makes sense.

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.600

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 2>go coffee in, like a pouch.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:24.680

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>mug like an espresso cup size, yetti tumbler.

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 3>That's you, I.

<v Speaker 1>Want one of those. Yes, it's none of those things.

<v Speaker 1>She discovered.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a chocolate candy made by Frere Rochet and it's

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 2>a hard chocolate shell with liquid espresso inside, approximately a

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>shotsworth of liquid espresso.

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like a lot.

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it does sound like the full bar, like in

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 4>one bar. It's like one piece or is one piece

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 4>one piece?

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna find out.

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, Okay, we're gonna find out, because yes, this

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 2>genius invention comes courtesy of Italy.

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.079
<v Speaker 1>For Che introduced pocket coffee in nineteen sixty eight.

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh, we're just learning about them now.

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>According to Laura.

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 2>It was conceived by Mikola Ferrero's assistant William Salic. As

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 2>new rest stops sprung up along Italian roadways to refuel

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 2>both cars and guests, he noticed a lack of coffee bars.

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Thus the concept of a truly on the go espresso

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 2>shot was created. This was before the to go coffee

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>and there's such a I don't know if you guys

<v Speaker 1>In Italy.

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>There's this culture around the road stop coffee place. And

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 2>in fact, when these came about in like the nineteen

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>twenties and thirties, as the autobahns sort of expanded, the

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>best architects in Italy designed these buildings.

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>This is inside.

0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>They're so viby, so if some so still stand the

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>originals and now they're just like giant, you know, like

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>the equivalent of like a you know, a rest stop, yeah,

<v Speaker 2>kind of along ninety five the yeah, sprawling restant all things.

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:13.800

<v Speaker 3>No, it must have already been mixed with chocolate.

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because it does.

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 3>You're right, it does taste too.

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 2>And there is like a crunch layer some kind in there, yeah,

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 2>which I appreciate.

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 3>I wonder what that.

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad this whole thing is not like dense chocolate.

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>It's like a chocolate shell with a crunch layer and

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 2>then liquid.

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I liked it.

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I liked it too. Yeah, it was good.

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>It was I don't know that this would be my

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 2>go to Yeah, no for either chocolate or or espresso.

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it was a pleasant taste. I'm wondering, Derek. Yeah,

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>because she compared it to the Trader Joe's.

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 4>I know, and I intended to get some so that

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.960
<v Speaker 4>we could try that in comparison. I failed to bring any.

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, but those are easily yeah, readily.

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'll bring those next time we record. I was

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 4>thinking about that because in that it's literally just an

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 4>espresso bean that is covered in chocolate. Yeah, And so

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 4>it's it's much more crunchy. There's no like liquid aspects.

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 4>There's a very it's very texture wise, it's very different.

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>But what about flavor wise?

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 4>Flavor wise it is pretty similar. I would say, okay, yeah,

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 4>yeah that that. I like that, And I love chocolate,

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 4>and so I love the mix of chocolate and coffee together.

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 4>It's nice.

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I do.

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I really like hazel nut and coffee together. I

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.439
<v Speaker 2>think i'd really love this if for a rochet did

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:49.439
<v Speaker 2>a hazel nut version.

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, they do that amazing hazelnut chocolate they do like

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 3>they are the top.

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 4>Do they have a coffee version?

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Would that would be great?

0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 4>Best?

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>That would be great that I would do that.

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 3>I would love Yeah, I think this is nice. I

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 3>mean I love chocolate too. I would. I would definitely

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 3>eat this like after lunch, which is we have like

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.680
<v Speaker 3>a small container lever from Christmas still holding on of

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 3>the chocolate espresser beans. I just always forget them. Yeah,

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 3>and sometimes I take like a handful for eat lunch.

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, sometimes you need a little a little something sweet.

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not like a huge sweet person, but when

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I've had like a garlikie.

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Lunch, I want a little something sweet. This would be

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>really nice.

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 4>I wonder if the if the crunch of the thing

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 4>we just tried is from like crunched up bean.

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 3>No, it feels very familiar, very similar to the espresso

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 3>yeah bean hm Trader Joe situation.

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 4>It's like, yeah, I'm getting I'm getting notes of that.

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I feel like it must be, yeah.

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 4>As opposed to like, I guess what else it could

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 4>the crunch be. It could be just like a cracker

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 4>kind of thing, Yeah, something like that.

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I think it is because it was grainy enough.

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 4>It was grainy.

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it held up like a cracker would get soggy,

0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 3>right some degree.

0:10:59.080 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.959
<v Speaker 2>I can't feel like it is read any as he's

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 2>trying to read the Italian back of the.

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no, it's in German.

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.319
<v Speaker 2>It's in German, German Italian. I could probably handle that.

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 2>This is coffee specialize.

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 4>It was English on the wrapper, which which and all

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 4>I said was like there's liquid in here, which which

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 4>is very funny because they're like, Okay, this is for

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 4>a European audience. But the people that would be dumb

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 4>enough to just put it in their mouth English, there's.

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Liquid in here. Yeah, I'm sure that wasn't.

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well bring that in.

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Feel the sugar coursing through my body the espresso, is it?

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's right.

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>You guys can definitely take these home and enjoy those.

0:11:46.920 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, those belong to you now, Okay, next item.

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Of coffee news.

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we have a complicated relationship with brand tie ins.

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, don't we This comes up from time to time.

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't always work.

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>They don't. They don't always.

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't do they ever work Sometimes I guess they

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 2>sometimes work.

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm excited to hear whatever you whenever you have this time.

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 2>At first, when I saw this, I did one of

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 2>my typical guffaws. But actually, as I read into it

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 2>makes more sense. The Devil Wears product to okay is

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 2>partnering with.

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 4>Starbucks brand new movie.

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:37.959
<v Speaker 1>If you recall the.

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 2>First one, Starbucks was a heavy player, right getting Miranda's coffee.

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Emily Blunt would call in Hathaway, Miranda wants her her coffee,

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 2>her Starbucks piping hot. Yeah yeah, so yeah, okay, this

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 2>makes more sense to me than white Lotus Pina Colada.

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I would not say coffee showcased in that TV series

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 3>at all.

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 2>At all or para Why this actually, there's this makes

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:12.839
<v Speaker 2>a little sense. So if you like Starbucks, just like

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>if you're a Starbucks drinker, if you're one of those people,

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 2>you can go and there's a Devil Wars proud a

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 2>menu and the menu is drinks that they imagine the

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 2>main characters would have. Okay, okay, so uh, it's funny.

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 2>They do a really cute write up. The lead to

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>this story says, you think this has nothing to do

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 2>with you. You go to Starbucks, you order an oat

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.319
<v Speaker 2>mill cappuccino with caramel and cinnamon, because you've decided you're

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 2>above caring about your coffee order. But what you don't

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 2>realize is that coffee, much like Cerulean sweaters, is never

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 2>just coffee is good. In case you're blithely unaware, when

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 2>you order that oatmelk cappuccino with caramel and cinnamon, you're

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 2>actually ordering Andy's cappuccino.

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Apparently they're Candy. Andy would order.

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 2>A oat milk cappuccino with caramel and cinnamon.

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't read that from her at all. The hard

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>nos journalist drink a black coffee, but the guy caramel. No,

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>that's that's odd. That's an odd sort.

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Of She did live in the burrows, and that to

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 3>me could read oat.

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Milk, the old milk. I don't have a problem with.

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Not the caramel, it's it's the it's.

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 2>The caramel and cinnamon that does not at all. Okay,

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Emily is order is an iced chi latte with almond

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 2>milk and sugar free caramel. Here's what I like about that,

<v Speaker 2>fat milk.

<v Speaker 3>we know that order.

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 2>This is a person of extreme privilege. She is going

0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to make a complicated order. It's going to be to

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 2>her exact specifications, and you know it's she's returning it

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 2>if it's not exactly how she wants it.

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.080

<v Speaker 2>Finally we've got Nigel Stanley Sugi's character, and he goes

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 2>for a dopeio espresso conana, which is two espresso shots

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 2>pulled over mocha sauce and topped with whipped cream.

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.479
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I don't know about the whip cream or the mocha.

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 3>I would I would believe that he would choose an

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Italian Yes he would.

0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yes, he was.

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.720

<v Speaker 3>you lost me athy whip.

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.480

<v Speaker 2>Like he was making fun of anyone eating. Yeah.

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, basically he would never have whipped cream.

0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Chocolate or chocolate, right. I think he would do an

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Italian adope yo period.

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:31.360

0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, no, wait, maybe they co wrote the screen play together.

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 4>We can cut this.

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>She might have written the screenplay for the first was

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.359
<v Speaker 1>a screenplayer on Lauren's book book.

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.560

<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay.

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 4>And she also co created the show Crazy Aest Girlfriend,

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 4>which is really great, which is really good and talks

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:12.959
<v Speaker 4>about mental health a lot.

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.679
<v Speaker 3>Actually, yeah, you should watch it. Okay, the name is

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be like a misnomer.

<v Speaker 4>But you went to you went to school with the

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:21.119

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's incredible.

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:28.159
<v Speaker 3>Guess what I sent This is another Cornell segue. But

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I sent your Sarah Spain episode to my best friend Molly,

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 3>who went to Cornell, was in Sarah Spain's year and

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 3>actually knows her best friends with her best friend Kate. Okay,

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 3>And then I was going to say that to Sarah,

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 3>but then I felt weird, so I just kept it

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 3>to myself.

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 4>I really enjoyed that episode. That was a fun conversation.

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:47.920
<v Speaker 1>It was great.

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.639
<v Speaker 3>And I talk about this to my my college friends,

0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.360
<v Speaker 3>and I always like reminisce about college in this way

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 3>that we feel like this is unique to us in

0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.720
<v Speaker 3>some way. So it was, and that's obviously false.

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.479
<v Speaker 2>But it was so nice and adorable to hear you

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:08.160
<v Speaker 2>and Sarah talk so specifically about diner Nells and then

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.840
<v Speaker 2>like to feel like I was so in that conversation.

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Like and it

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.679
<v Speaker 2>didn't matter that like I didn't go there. It's like,

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:17.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, you just it's like you're in the club

0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 2>and you want to hear people talk about that club

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 2>that you're related to.

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:20.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's just funny completely.

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.880
<v Speaker 2>But also, you know, I talk about Cornell from time

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:27.919
<v Speaker 2>to time, but I don't think.

0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:28.919
<v Speaker 1>We've had on someone.

0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.000
<v Speaker 2>We've had on people with Cornell connections, but I don't

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 2>think we've had on someone who went to Cornell while

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.640
<v Speaker 2>I was there. Yeah, and even though we didn't meet,

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 2>we didn't know each other, like we had the same experience.

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you know.

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 2>That's changed, like Cornell's changed since I was there, and

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:43.480
<v Speaker 2>it was different twenty years before I was there, but

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:44.640
<v Speaker 2>we were there at the same time.

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 2>So when we were talking about like the pumpkin on the

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.679
<v Speaker 2>top of mrraw Tower or like the dining halls like

0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 2>that was our experience and it was so fun.

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.880
<v Speaker 3>It was also really great, a great era because it's

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.359
<v Speaker 3>before cell phones. Yeah, like we talk about this, not

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.159
<v Speaker 3>to take a total segue, but we talk about this

0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 3>of like college, how we how did we connect with

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 3>one another. We just sort of like went out into

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 3>the world and accidentally fent. We called it the amiba,

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.479
<v Speaker 3>like we would find people and then like somehow end

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.880
<v Speaker 3>up somewhere else and you were meant to hang out

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 3>with the people you hung out.

0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.440
<v Speaker 1>With, but you saw right, it was so organic.

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I remember having to, like, you know, you'd find a

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.439
<v Speaker 2>computer lab to check your email during the day in

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 2>case someone was trying to get in touch with you

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 2>about like plans for tonight or whatever.

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but like that was it.

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was it, and yeah.

0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 1>You had to.

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.800
<v Speaker 2>It reminds me of I was watching like Master's coverage

0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks ago, whenever the Masters was and

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 2>they were saying, because there's no phones, you have to

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 2>make your plans with your friends in advance. Wow, we're

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.919
<v Speaker 2>going to meet at this tree in advance because you

0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:49.600
<v Speaker 2>have no way.

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Of getting in touch with people.

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.119
<v Speaker 4>And I was like that reminds me of college, your

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 4>map quest meeting.

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah quest, Yeah, I got so much map quests.

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 1>We couldn't create that environment again, you you just can't.

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, it was such magic.

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.639
<v Speaker 4>Well, when the when the system completely breaks and all

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.360
<v Speaker 4>the powers out and everything forever, then we'll go back.

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 2>We'll go back, and you know what will be the

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.879
<v Speaker 2>only generational live that knows how to handle it?

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, right, listful, we will know what.

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 2>To do in those situations, and it'll involve intly folded notes.

0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, exactly, exactly. Okay. Speaking of Trader Joe's, I don't

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>know if you saw this news this week.

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm nervous.

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Four customers are suing Trader Joe's over coffee labels.

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh but this is crazy.

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Four customers have filed a class action lawsuit against Trader Joe's,

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 2>requesting the company correct it's coffee labels, alleging that it

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 2>skimped buyers on caffeine and failed to label one of

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 2>its coffee products as DCAF.

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Oh right, that's alarming.

0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so when I saw this, I thought, oh, they

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:05.679
<v Speaker 2>didn't put caffeine on a label, right, No, it's they

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't put DCAF on.

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:10.360
<v Speaker 4>A way they should have yes, okay.

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:15.160
<v Speaker 1>So okay, so you get your coffee, you're expecting caffeinated, Yeah, yeah,

0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and it's not.

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how did they even figure them out?

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 1>How did they figure that out?

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Thank you?

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:20.680
<v Speaker 1>That is the question.

0:21:20.800 --> 0:21:23.360
<v Speaker 3>I think there's also a placebo effect with most things

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:23.880
<v Speaker 3>that I drank.

0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I always feel caffeinated, whether I'm having decaff.

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.199
<v Speaker 3>It's a tiny bit of caffeine, and I told us

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 3>in the previous news and.

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 2>In this there is, but it's got something like half

0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the amount of caffeine as regular caffeinated coffee.

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Still, that's a lot of caffeine for something called decaf.

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 2>And for someone to notice, yeah, this is decap, this

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 2>is decaf.

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:47.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Is this the same person who drinks like twenty one cups.

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Of coffee a day and wouldn't notice No, But like I,

0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:58.879
<v Speaker 2>I would notice if I'm expecting decaf, I would notice caffeinated.

0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, I don't know that I'd ever notice.

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 3>No. So I'm tired all the time.

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.400
<v Speaker 1>And then pretend and then let's pretend I did notice. Yeah,

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:10.120
<v Speaker 1>let's pretend I noticed. Yeah, this trader dose coffee is not.

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Hitting and giving me the jolts that I that I

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:14.560
<v Speaker 2>want Yeah, what do I do?

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.679
<v Speaker 3>I just don't get it. Yeah, I move on, I

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:18.360
<v Speaker 3>move on with.

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 4>Bilet tested it. They're like, no, I'm going to send

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:22.120
<v Speaker 4>us to the lab. Let's get someone.

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want to know, because I mean this.

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 2>According to documents were viewed by USA Today, the customers

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.360
<v Speaker 2>argue that fully caffeated coffee is typically not labeled as such,

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 2>and instead companies only label products that have reduced caffeine content. Therefore,

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the coffee at Trader Dose is not labeled decaf. Because

0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 2>of this, customers who buy the coffee think they're purchasing

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 2>a fully caffeinated product. According to documents, North Carolina based

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:48.680
<v Speaker 2>coffee competitor, Pure Roast coffee competitor.

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Conducted testing.

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:53.679
<v Speaker 2>As part of a February twenty twenty five lawsuit that

0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 2>allegedly showed the coffee contains less than half of the

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:58.639
<v Speaker 2>caffeine of regular blend.

0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:01.159
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they just tested like a bunch of brands to

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 4>try to see which one after.

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:04.920
<v Speaker 3>That's ridiculous.

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that crazy the time.

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 4>You're in a religious society, for sure.

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 2>That's law firm Law Firm of Bryce and Harris suit

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>you and DeMay is representing the four customers who are

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:19.959
<v Speaker 2>from California, New York, and Illinois.

0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Had a bit then find those customers. I think I

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:25.159
<v Speaker 3>think they did that first, and then they find the

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.640
<v Speaker 3>customers for the like do you want to lead?

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:30.960
<v Speaker 4>But it is a pretty significant thing. I mean, they

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:32.440
<v Speaker 4>are arguing a legit thing.

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:35.320
<v Speaker 1>You have mislabeled a product.

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:39.159
<v Speaker 2>It's so funny when I lived in DC, you know,

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 2>you mean all kinds of people in d C. And

0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 2>a friend of a friend we went out to lunch

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:47.160
<v Speaker 2>with one day and she was the lawyer that does this,

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:51.880
<v Speaker 2>that make sure that commercials say the right things about

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.639
<v Speaker 2>the products, to make sure labels are right. And you know,

0:23:55.760 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 2>it's a whole it's a whole science and an art form, right,

0:23:58.880 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 2>so there are people.

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.680
<v Speaker 1>That just that and yeah, that should be again, that should.

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Be I don't know crying is right, but like that,

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 2>that shouldn't be okay to just label something, especially with

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 2>a drug. It's involving a drug, a drug, Okay, you

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 2>should definitely tell us whether it's in there or not,

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 2>how much drugs are in this?

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Tell us.

0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:22.880
<v Speaker 4>This is some middle school like oregano in the marijuana bag?

0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes, okay, so we'll see how that shakes out.

0:24:29.520 --> 0:24:33.680
<v Speaker 4>I hear I should say the marijuana thing. Anyway, someone told.

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 2>You, all right, there's a five best grocery store coffee

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 2>beans list out.

0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:41.439
<v Speaker 1>I like that.

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Because you know, we all of our preferred coffee shop,

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 2>coffee preveyor, but most people get their coffee from the

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 2>grocery store and make it at home, right, And I

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 2>love that.

0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I love that for people. So this is a good list.

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I was pleasantly surprised by it. Okay, sure you can

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 2>guess with that, because yeah, there's.

0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Grocery stores are so regional.

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm familiar with everything on this list. Yeah, but

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't mean it's available everywhere. But I think the

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:16.119
<v Speaker 2>point was to put things on here that are available everywhere. Yeah,

0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:18.280
<v Speaker 2>and all of the things on this list they say

0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 2>are available on Amazon Target as well.

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, and grocery store coffee. I will say, I'm

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 4>maybe kind of boogie when it comes to coffee beans

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 4>that I like to get. But I have been disappointed

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 4>in the past by the just like the beans that

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:35.359
<v Speaker 4>I get at a grocery store, so I would appreciate

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:39.000
<v Speaker 4>a list like this. Do you remember the disappointed I

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 4>don't remember the beans that disappointed me. But I will

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 4>say I have noticed that Target has like maybe maybe

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 4>I just noticed it now, but they have seemingly increased

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 4>their variety of beings I offer, and I noticed a

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 4>lot of them are kind of like specialty, like kind

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 4>of get to me, like I'm oh, that's like a

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:56.399
<v Speaker 4>specialty shop. I'm gonna try this and then I take

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:58.360
<v Speaker 4>it home and I often do enjoy it. I've tried

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:01.479
<v Speaker 4>a number of brands from that I've gotten from Target

0:26:01.520 --> 0:26:02.879
<v Speaker 4>that way, and a lot of them are actually like

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 4>local New York. So I wonder if like big chain

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 4>stores have like you know, relationships, Yeah, which.

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Would be cool.

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 2>But what of the brands Cafe Bustello, Espresso, Gram Coffee.

0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 3>You see the yellow Canada.

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Like yellow with like black writing, Yeah, that looks very

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 2>like traditional and good. Yeah, well apparently it is Stump

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Town Hall or Mountain Organic Blend.

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:35.400
<v Speaker 3>I've heard of that, and it's good. I mean, I've

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:38.119
<v Speaker 3>never Yeah, I will be choosy when I go to

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:40.120
<v Speaker 3>the grocery store, and that is a choosy one.

0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 4>That's one.

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the Whole Foods Market organic Early Bird blend, they

0:26:45.200 --> 0:26:48.400
<v Speaker 2>like that, doesn't I've never had any Whole Foods coffee.

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I have either.

0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Duncan original blends.

0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:56.120
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you don't have to mess with.

0:26:57.600 --> 0:26:59.640
<v Speaker 1>It's in the grocery store, that's what you want.

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 2>And the last one, I think to your point, Derek,

0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:04.919
<v Speaker 2>because they say this one, especially as available at Target,

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>is the Illy classically is.

0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:09.240
<v Speaker 1>That very like high end to tell?

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, yes, I l l yeah yeah, the silver

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 3>and red.

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 2>You got it exactly right. So you can get that

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:17.040
<v Speaker 2>at Target apparently. And that's that's a good one.

0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:17.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that was.

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:19.119
<v Speaker 3>I think that was when I go TOOS for a

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 3>while Philly.

0:27:19.880 --> 0:27:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a good list. I think that's

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a good list. Okay, this is fascinating. This is fascinating.

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 2>The headline of the story is there's a reason younger

0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 2>generations are fanatical about iced coffee.

0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Mm because of you.

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Of Africa.

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm a fen.

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:56.679
<v Speaker 2>They don't mean I am not young in this version

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 2>of events, okay, but it makes me feel young.

0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 3>That I I have been good something for.

0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Ice coffee since I was fourteen.

0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Right, you were a head of evangelizing ice coffee at fourteen. Okay,

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:14.119
<v Speaker 2>so I am responsible in a way for some of this,

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:17.000
<v Speaker 2>but it's so fascinating if you thought about some of

0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:22.399
<v Speaker 2>the reasons why gen Z, for example, would be way

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:25.680
<v Speaker 2>more into iceed coffee than older generations. Like what would

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 2>some of those reasons be, Hmmm, ice like straws.

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:33.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh, people like straws.

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:35.360
<v Speaker 3>Straws, their own reusable straws.

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:38.120
<v Speaker 4>I actually would be surprised because I feel like gen

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:41.959
<v Speaker 4>Z is always talking about how they're broke, you know,

0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 4>and like ice coffee is going to be that means

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 4>that a person had to make the coffee typically, and

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:50.240
<v Speaker 4>so it's gonna be more expensive. So I'm actually surprised.

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 3>I also feel like this generation is getting off of

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 3>things that are drug forward.

0:28:57.280 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, you know.

0:28:58.360 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean I guess that means they can have a

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 3>non cap NATed thing, but I feel like it's like,

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm just going to start with a tea, right.

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Right, right, Okay, Well, this goes through some of the reasons.

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 2>They're fast, they're great, Like, they make total sense to me. First,

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 2>iced coffee is far more personalizable than hot drinks. Okay,

0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Flavored syrups, creamers, plant based alternative milks provide wide ranging

0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 2>opportunities for customization, which appeals to gen Z consumer preferences.

0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 2>This might be an evolution of the focus on individualism

0:29:31.080 --> 0:29:36.240
<v Speaker 2>that emerged during the ME generation, which is like gen.

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 3>X, Yeah, no, that's millennial millennial.

0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, that's a millennial or gen X millennial.

0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Apply applied to millennial and gen Z consumers coffee press preferences.

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 2>This could look like I order an iced lavender, SOI

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 2>latte to express myself, right, Yeah, I got it, versus

0:29:55.760 --> 0:29:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the older mentality of I order a mug of hot

0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 2>coffee because I'm sitting at a diner with friends and that's.

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:01.040
<v Speaker 4>What we're ordering.

0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I get that, I get that. I know that

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 1>about millennials. Yeah, okay.

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 2>These sweetened customization routes also make iced beverages more deliciously

0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 2>appealing for new coffee drinkers.

0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 4>And if they're young.

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a gateway.

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 2>When you see the Dunkin Donuts sugar plump, fairy iced.

0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Coffee drink, they didn't have any of that stuff back.

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, we had to drink.

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:28.560
<v Speaker 3>But that that was the same thing where I was

0:30:28.600 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 3>like a light I like it light and sweet.

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but I did too.

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that was my gateway.

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 2>That was my gateway too. But that's all we got.

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Our only gateway was would you like sugar in that?

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:38.640
<v Speaker 3>It still worked.

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 4>My generation introduced pumpkin spice to the world and we've

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 4>just been downhill from there.

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, millennial, exactly, exactly.

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 2>So from a proprietary standpoint, many businesses use those unique

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 2>specialized flavors to attract customers to order their iced coffee

0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 2>out instead of choosing to make plain iced coffee at home.

0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Because we don't have sugar cookie lattes syrup in the pantry?

0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Do we.

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Probably has it, yes, but I think that's true. Okay,

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:10.880
<v Speaker 1>here's another good one.

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I love this.

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Iced coffees are highly instagrammable. Oh yeah, from lush, green

0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:21.280
<v Speaker 1>iced macha lttes to a ripple of full fat creamer

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 1>swirling through cold brew. I've posted thousands of those iced

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 1>drinks photographed fabulously and make for a cute.

0:31:27.840 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Aesthetic that's so funny.

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 2>A pink botanical cardamom rose ice latte is worth posting.

0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 4>A black coffee is not no, but a hot latte

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 4>with like you know, the foam art is very instagrammable

0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 4>as well.

0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:44.400
<v Speaker 1>But sure, but you can conceive of all the iced drinks.

0:31:44.120 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes, all the colors.

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, what this reminds me of what when we

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:52.600
<v Speaker 2>adopted our dog, Dolly, who is a black Lab.

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 4>I've met her. She's great.

0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:54.840
<v Speaker 1>She's the best.

0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I couldn't imagine a better dog. She's perfect.

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:02.800
<v Speaker 2>A friend of mine that I worked with at CNN

0:32:02.920 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, Dolly is great. I just want to

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:09.640
<v Speaker 2>tell you. And she's millennial, okay, black labs don't photograph

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 2>as well as yellows.

0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 1>She's like, you're going to notice this on.

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 3>Your Instagram, still within the window of returning the dogs.

0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:20.880
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, have you lost your mind? I

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:23.800
<v Speaker 1>just want I've had friends with black labs. One of

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 1>their complaints is shut off, shut up.

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Doll.

0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 3>You know she's still pretty.

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Sounds like a lighting issue too. Your friend needs to

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 4>figure out how to you know.

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 3>You know she photographs fantastically when her butts in the snow.

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely this is true, but you know it's it's true

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:45.239
<v Speaker 2>with like the dark eyes and the dark face, like

0:32:45.320 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 2>she can kind of blend into like darkness.

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 1>It's true, but I don't care. And Dolly's lucky she

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 1>has a gen X mom and not a millennial mom.

0:32:57.000 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Who sees past those things. That's very funny, but doesn't

0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 2>that make total sense? Like the instagram ability of the

0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 2>iced drink and.

0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:06.560
<v Speaker 3>The ice drinks. I feel like in the last like

0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:10.000
<v Speaker 3>two years have gotten like very colorful and crazy and

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 3>creative and everything. Like my we went to that Schmorgsburg.

0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah in Brooklyn.

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Ye I'm saying, I told you that's where the Banana coffee,

0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:20.000
<v Speaker 3>which I don't think is still there, but they I

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 3>was getting my kids something to eat and they had

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 3>grilled cheese and I got the grilled cheese and it

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 3>was a rainbow grilled cheese. First of all, it costs

0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 3>fifteen dollars. My child didn't eat it at all, but

0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 3>we did get the photo, of course you did, which

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:34.960
<v Speaker 3>I refuse to post on Instagram because I was like,

0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 3>this is why it's happening.

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Yes, shout out to the Queen's Night Market. As a

0:33:38.480 --> 0:33:41.520
<v Speaker 4>resident of Queen's I will represent that because it's better

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:43.440
<v Speaker 4>than Morges, bringing my opinion, and all the dishes are

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:45.880

<v Speaker 1>Liked Morgesberget.

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:51.360

<v Speaker 4>Right now night Market. Okay, it's like most of the year.

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:55.880

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Is it a night market because it's at night.

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 4>It's at night. It's every Saturday in the evening from

<v Speaker 1>That's want to do that.

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:08.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's great. And I live right near that park,

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 4>and so I'm I just like every Saturday.

0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:12.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, is it the park of the world.

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:14.680
<v Speaker 4>It's the flushing that it's going to park. Yeah.

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, is it your city field?

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Exactly, it's right right right there.

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Okay, here's what I'm going to do. This is a

0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:22.800
<v Speaker 1>total segue.

0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 2>They just added a ferry from Stanford, Connecticut really to

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 2>city Fields.

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:30.959
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, that's great.

0:34:31.040 --> 0:34:36.759
<v Speaker 1>That's yeah every night, but like they have them occasionally.

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 4>How long does it take?

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Like an hour?

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:42.000
<v Speaker 2>But that's so nice, Way better than it could take.

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 2>The last time I went to a mech game this summer.

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:45.400
<v Speaker 4>It was like two hours.

0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:46.280
<v Speaker 1>And you're a ferry.

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 2>No, that's adorable, not fighting traffic, yeah, or parking at

0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 2>city Field and probably enjoying your beverage and enjoying a beverage.

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:53.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:53.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 1>So this is a plan. Now I'm going to ferry

0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and then we're going to do the night market and

0:34:58.680 --> 0:34:59.480
<v Speaker 1>then we're going to do a game.

0:34:59.560 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 3>That's sound.

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 4>It's great, that's amazing.

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Is that a day? But I love that day.

0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:03.879
<v Speaker 4>It's a day.

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:04.879
<v Speaker 3>I love that day.

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay, great, Okay.

0:35:06.960 --> 0:35:13.440
<v Speaker 2>The final reason why this is appealing to young people

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 2>because they're on the go and there's nothing more disappointing

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:20.800
<v Speaker 2>than getting a hot drink that you don't get a

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:23.360
<v Speaker 2>chance to drink immediately and then it's lukewarm in ten minutes.

0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:26.200
<v Speaker 1>That is fair. Yeah, this generation's on the go. I

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:27.840
<v Speaker 1>feel like my generation was also.

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:29.560
<v Speaker 3>On the go. We always all on the go.

0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:30.320
<v Speaker 4>It's not on the go.

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 1>But okay, all right personally, but but they're not wrong.

0:35:34.320 --> 0:35:37.400
<v Speaker 1>It's just I discovered that thirty years ago that iced

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:38.600
<v Speaker 1>coffee was better on the go.

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, so I thought they weren't really on the go.

0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:43.600
<v Speaker 3>We're all working from home, et ceterc. They don't feels

0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:46.200
<v Speaker 3>on the go like I had together choosing not to

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:47.760
<v Speaker 3>be on the go. That's the thing they are, Whereas

0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:49.719
<v Speaker 3>we have no boundaries, so you are on the go

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:51.240
<v Speaker 3>so much. I go back and forth.

0:35:51.520 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Today I do. I don't feel normal unless I'm on

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:57.359
<v Speaker 1>the go. And here's here's where this come from.

0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:00.439
<v Speaker 2>Comes from because when I was going to high school,

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:02.680
<v Speaker 2>my high school was about forty minutes away, so I

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 2>had to get up at the Crackodian and I had

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:09.000
<v Speaker 2>to build in dunk time go to but forty minutes

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:11.279
<v Speaker 2>in the car, you know what can happen to a

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:14.120
<v Speaker 2>hot drink in that time? And I wanted it, like

0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 2>for the whole morning, I want to have this coffee. Yeah,

0:36:17.239 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 2>So I, being a genius fourteen year old, was like,

0:36:20.400 --> 0:36:22.200
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be a nice coffee. Now we're

0:36:22.239 --> 0:36:23.320
<v Speaker 2>going to make this nice coffee.

0:36:23.360 --> 0:36:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Now I hacked it. Yeah the first I'm sure to

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:26.759
<v Speaker 1>do that.

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thirty years ago, you guys seen on the go,

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:32.400
<v Speaker 2>So they're not wrong about this, but it's just they

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:33.160
<v Speaker 2>didn't discover this.

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:35.240
<v Speaker 3>No, it's about coffee generation.

0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:39.080
<v Speaker 4>These these reasons are are making me think of other

0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:41.840
<v Speaker 4>reasons too, like older, Like older people are working, and

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:46.440
<v Speaker 4>so coffee becomes maybe more of a utilitary a utility, yeah,

0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:52.040
<v Speaker 4>a utilitarian thing, yes, whereas like what's for them experience exactly?

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.719
<v Speaker 3>It's just like, yes, for fun, something to reveal to

0:36:54.800 --> 0:36:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Instagram an activity you have done.

0:36:57.239 --> 0:36:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes with a black lass, or maybe a place to

0:36:59.440 --> 0:37:04.279
<v Speaker 1>meet for a date or a lot or not right right,

0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, no, this this all makes so much sense.

0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll leave you with this.

0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Wendy's Ajack, faculty director of the Integrated Marketing Communications at Georgetown,

0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 2>posits that starbucks growing prevalence during the twenty tens introduced

0:37:20.200 --> 0:37:26.560
<v Speaker 2>teenage consumers to sweet ice drinks like frappuccinos formeggs. Yeah,

0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:30.000
<v Speaker 2>but like you know how brand quity early on Starbucks

0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:32.640
<v Speaker 2>became in the early two thousands for sure, and the

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 2>frappuccinos and then Duncan did like the you know, the

0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:42.560
<v Speaker 2>ice uh like frozen drinks as well. Yeah, and a

0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:45.480
<v Speaker 2>more positive introduction to coffee than the bitter hot drip

0:37:45.560 --> 0:37:48.359
<v Speaker 2>to which many older generations were first introduced.

0:37:49.040 --> 0:37:51.480
<v Speaker 1>She says, this also gets into the American psyche.

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:53.440
<v Speaker 2>We all want to feel like we're getting our little

0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:56.400
<v Speaker 2>special taste and it makes us feel special. Yeah, and

0:37:56.680 --> 0:37:59.600
<v Speaker 2>my iced coffee this is ic. I know, it's in

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:01.239
<v Speaker 2>like a hot beverage with you, so I didn't spill

0:38:01.280 --> 0:38:03.879
<v Speaker 2>it in the carpet. It does make me feel special. Yeah, Yeah,

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:08.040
<v Speaker 2>my ice coffee moment makes me feel special because I

0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:10.279
<v Speaker 2>have it just like I want it, right, only the

0:38:10.360 --> 0:38:11.160
<v Speaker 2>things that I want in it.

0:38:11.480 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 3>It's special and you make that at home.

0:38:13.160 --> 0:38:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I make this at home with the Javvy collagen protein powder.

0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Nice it's hazel nut and you how do you mix

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 2>that in with a whisk or whisk it in nicely?

0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Because I put it in hot yeah, to my hot coffee.

0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh, whisk it in so it dissolves pretty well.

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Then I pop it in the fridge while I'm getting dressed,

0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:34.279
<v Speaker 2>and by the time I come down, it's ready to.

0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Pour over ice. It's perfect, completely customized.

0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Did I already share this story? But we went to

0:38:41.400 --> 0:38:45.279
<v Speaker 3>the Pacific Northwest for this camping trip, and we flew

0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:46.920
<v Speaker 3>in and out of Seattle, spent a day there. We

0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:48.920
<v Speaker 3>were there with very good friends of ours who used

0:38:48.920 --> 0:38:50.520
<v Speaker 3>to live in New York. They now live in Tennessee.

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:53.399
<v Speaker 3>And this is like the first child I ever knew.

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:55.920
<v Speaker 3>She's now eighteen this year or two years ago, she

0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:59.799
<v Speaker 3>was sixteen. So going to the original Starbucks was something

0:38:59.840 --> 0:39:02.839
<v Speaker 3>that she had to do. And so we go down

0:39:02.880 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 3>to like the fish market where they throw the fish

0:39:04.719 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 3>or whatever, and that Starbucks was on that sort of

0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:10.120
<v Speaker 3>road and there was a line out the door, and

0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Susannah, I love you child. But I

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:14.920
<v Speaker 3>will not be doing this, and then your father will

0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:17.399
<v Speaker 3>step in for me. And so they waited in line

0:39:17.440 --> 0:39:20.239
<v Speaker 3>so that she could get the experience of ordering her

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:22.600
<v Speaker 3>drink and then taking a photo outside and like.

0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:24.920
<v Speaker 4>It was Almo sad, It's just a regular Starbucks.

0:39:25.440 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 3>It just popped my head and looks like it's.

0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:28.200
<v Speaker 4>The historic thing.

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Wait, what does it look like on the outside? Does

0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:30.560
<v Speaker 1>it look new?

0:39:31.000 --> 0:39:34.360
<v Speaker 3>No, it looks like any other It's really not. I

0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:36.640
<v Speaker 3>think I'm trying to remember. I feel like they might

0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:41.000
<v Speaker 3>have like the original logo which was different, but other

0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:46.799
<v Speaker 3>than that, and the green rope outside to cordon off. Wow,

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:48.719
<v Speaker 3>like you wouldn't necessarily know that.

0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:52.120
<v Speaker 1>It was How old is it? We're talking seventies, eighties.

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:54.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't know something like that. Shall I google it? Yeah?

0:39:56.920 --> 0:40:00.239
<v Speaker 1>I would think I would think, like the seventies.

0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Over fifty years. Founded on March thirtieth, nineteen seventy one.

0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:09.600
<v Speaker 4>See in your coffee, your coffee instincts are can it?

0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I can into it? Oh, that's interesting.

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 3>It was originally a retailer of Wold Being Coffee, tea

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:18.600
<v Speaker 3>and spices, and then it expanded into a global coffee

0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:21.200
<v Speaker 3>house chain after Howard Schultz acquired the company in nineteen

0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:24.400
<v Speaker 3>eighty seven, so really the eighties.

0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:26.680
<v Speaker 4>Maybe it tasted better back then.

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe, Well for me now, I do love though

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:37.239
<v Speaker 2>Starbucks green iced tea is far superior to dunk in

0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:39.040
<v Speaker 2>screen icy, far superior.

0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:39.640
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean I just said it.

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:44.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean this. This gives your position credibility, though you're

0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 4>willing to say.

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:50.439
<v Speaker 1>I think it does because I will not blind blindly defend.

0:40:50.239 --> 0:40:51.759
<v Speaker 3>Just everything classic. Guess e.

0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 1>This is what I do for a living. You're stuck

0:40:54.680 --> 0:40:59.959
<v Speaker 1>in strikestrikes. This is my brand.

0:41:00.960 --> 0:41:03.960
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah, Dunk Dunk green iced tea, I don't know

0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:07.360
<v Speaker 2>why it does. It has no flavor, if anything. It

0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:10.040
<v Speaker 2>tastes very similar to their black iced tea, to the

0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:12.640
<v Speaker 2>point where I've wondered, like, is it just black tea?

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Starbucks green iced tea is distinct, has a great flavor.

0:41:17.320 --> 0:41:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I not like love.

0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:19.839
<v Speaker 3>That's how I always feel like green.

0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I know it's light and bright. It's really nice and bright.

0:41:23.080 --> 0:41:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I put a little sweetener in it. It's delicious, super refreshing.

0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:29.480
<v Speaker 2>On days I don't want dairy, you know, because I

0:41:29.480 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 2>have dairy.

0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 1>In my coffee, I'll get a green iced tea.

0:41:32.920 --> 0:41:33.640
<v Speaker 4>That's what they're good for.

0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, uh, got another study.

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it's good news.

0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Coffee may boost your mood and brain power even without caffeine.

0:41:52.960 --> 0:41:54.600
<v Speaker 4>Nice, this is very good news.

0:41:54.719 --> 0:41:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Good news across the drinking Coffee may lift and boost

0:41:58.880 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 2>your mood and your cog native performance even without caffeine.

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:05.480
<v Speaker 2>A new study compared CALF and DCALF and found both

0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:12.480
<v Speaker 2>have pluses for gut, mood and behavior. So they did

0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:15.200
<v Speaker 2>this whole study where they like, started off with coffee drinkers.

0:42:15.239 --> 0:42:18.200
<v Speaker 2>They got them off their coffee, then did a baseline,

0:42:18.239 --> 0:42:21.680
<v Speaker 2>then added coffee back, and compared them to non coffee

0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:27.000
<v Speaker 2>drinkers and decaf coffee drinkers to see what kinds of things.

0:42:26.880 --> 0:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of positive changes.

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Both types of coffee, decaff and CALF lowered stress, depression, impulsivity, inflammation,

0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:38.640
<v Speaker 2>boosted mood and cognitive performance.

0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:43.640
<v Speaker 4>Did Trader Joe's fund this study, they're the same.

0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Only caffeinated coffee was linked to reduced anxiety.

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:51.279
<v Speaker 3>Which I think we knew from another study we do.

0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm here.

0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Psychological distress, blood pressure, improved attention and stress coping. Decaff

0:42:58.120 --> 0:43:03.960
<v Speaker 2>coffee meanwhile, led to enhanced physical activity and memory. The

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:07.000
<v Speaker 2>microbiologist involved in the study said coffee is more than

0:43:07.120 --> 0:43:10.719
<v Speaker 2>just caffeine. It's a complex dietary factor that interacts with

0:43:10.760 --> 0:43:15.000
<v Speaker 2>our gut microbes, our metabolism, and even our emotional well being.

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:19.959
<v Speaker 1>It's not just a drug delivery vehicle.

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:20.279
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:43:21.360 --> 0:43:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Complex. There's reasons why we love it done, it's nuanced.

0:43:25.920 --> 0:43:27.600
<v Speaker 1>This is, I mean, just another reason it is the

0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:31.719
<v Speaker 1>best beverage because it does so much. It works so hard. Yeah,

0:43:31.840 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 1>works harder than any other beverage, I think.

0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:37.960
<v Speaker 3>I also, I think there's something related to something one

0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:41.760
<v Speaker 3>of our guests said, again pointing out that your question

0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:44.480
<v Speaker 3>at the end of every episode is very revealing. Yeah,

0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:48.800
<v Speaker 3>but this was that interview with Stacy Lindsay, the forty

0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:52.279
<v Speaker 3>midlife yes woman, who said this thing that I really

0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:54.480
<v Speaker 3>identified with. I feel the same way when she goes

0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:56.480
<v Speaker 3>to bed, she's thinking about her coffee in the morning,

0:43:56.600 --> 0:43:59.320
<v Speaker 3>and you referenced your coffee moment. I think that we

0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:02.840
<v Speaker 3>look forward to coffee, whether it's decaf or personalized or

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:05.799
<v Speaker 3>a lavender cold foam whatever, definitely has something to look

0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:09.440
<v Speaker 3>forward to because, like you know, a morning weekday can

0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:12.239
<v Speaker 3>be a little rough. You're like, this is the thing

0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:14.440
<v Speaker 3>is that sad is that a little son. I think

0:44:14.480 --> 0:44:16.880
<v Speaker 3>it's part of my life. We all look forward, we

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:19.120
<v Speaker 3>all try to create our own moments that we look

0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:21.480
<v Speaker 3>forward to yes during and it is.

0:44:21.480 --> 0:44:22.520
<v Speaker 1>The best part of waking up.

0:44:22.800 --> 0:44:24.000
<v Speaker 4>It's the what's that.

0:44:28.120 --> 0:44:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Cup? Yeah, it's a fact, it's a fact.

0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:32.680
<v Speaker 3>It's the best.

0:44:33.200 --> 0:44:36.879
<v Speaker 1>It's the best before we get to the last story.

0:44:38.000 --> 0:44:41.440
<v Speaker 1>So we we were in DC this weekend and it

0:44:41.560 --> 0:44:42.680
<v Speaker 1>was just my husband and I.

0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:46.959
<v Speaker 2>Usually we take Jack. We didn't, And what we usually

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:49.440
<v Speaker 2>do is I've got some stops that he likes to make.

0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:54.000
<v Speaker 2>He wants to go to Lincoln Memorial, a couple other things,

0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:56.439
<v Speaker 2>a couple of places he likes to eat. And because

0:44:56.440 --> 0:44:57.880
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have him, we got to do some of

0:44:57.960 --> 0:44:59.480
<v Speaker 2>our favorite things, one of which is going to the

0:44:59.560 --> 0:45:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Art Museum. I love going to the art museum. My

0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:03.640
<v Speaker 2>favorite painting in the world is at that art museum,

0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:05.160
<v Speaker 2>so I like to visit it. So we go and

0:45:05.520 --> 0:45:09.640
<v Speaker 2>under the National Gallery is this great cafeteria and it's

0:45:10.360 --> 0:45:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the East wing and the West Wing and between the two,

0:45:12.760 --> 0:45:14.520
<v Speaker 2>underground is this great cafeteria. So we go to the

0:45:14.600 --> 0:45:19.120
<v Speaker 2>cafeteria and John's got gelato on his mind. We're gonna

0:45:19.120 --> 0:45:20.840
<v Speaker 2>make this stop at the cafeteria. He knows he's going

0:45:20.920 --> 0:45:25.800
<v Speaker 2>to have the chocolate, the coffee gelato at this museum cafee.

0:45:26.160 --> 0:45:30.040
<v Speaker 2>We get there, I sit down at a table because

0:45:30.040 --> 0:45:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not having gelato. So I sit down on a

0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:33.479
<v Speaker 2>table and I'm just having my water and he comes

0:45:33.560 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 2>back with a cup of gelatto and it's pink, and

0:45:36.080 --> 0:45:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I said, what is that. It's like, oh, well, they

0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:41.160
<v Speaker 2>have this other flavor I decided to get instead of

0:45:41.200 --> 0:45:41.640
<v Speaker 2>the coffee.

0:45:41.920 --> 0:45:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, takes a bite, literally spits it out. He's like,

0:45:47.120 --> 0:45:48.839
<v Speaker 1>this is the grossest thing I've ever had.

0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:49.560
<v Speaker 3>I could have tried it.

0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:50.480
<v Speaker 4>I should have tried it.

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:53.560
<v Speaker 1>No, he should not have ordered it. It was called

0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:58.600
<v Speaker 1>cherry blossom and it tasted like flowers. Yeah, in a

0:45:58.719 --> 0:45:59.279
<v Speaker 1>terrible way.

0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:00.320
<v Speaker 4>Tried it.

0:46:00.440 --> 0:46:02.440
<v Speaker 1>It was the grossest thing I've ever had. That's so

0:46:02.840 --> 0:46:06.360
<v Speaker 1>sad when coffee was right there the best flavor.

0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:09.000
<v Speaker 3>You should always essentially go with your gut.

0:46:09.000 --> 0:46:12.799
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent, because you know why, coffee cares about

0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:13.120
<v Speaker 1>your gut.

0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:15.879
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it's done a lot of work.

0:46:16.000 --> 0:46:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Your gut should care about your coffee cares about your gut.

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:21.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, So did you question your relationship at always.

0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I questioned him, I said, why did you order that?

0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:25.719
<v Speaker 1>I was like indignant, I was angry. No, why, I

0:46:25.800 --> 0:46:27.440
<v Speaker 1>need to know why why did you order that.

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:29.800
<v Speaker 4>Household?

0:46:29.880 --> 0:46:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I thought it looked interesting. I'm like, no,

0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that was a really bad decision. It was a terrible choice.

0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I can see myself wording that that sounds feeling

0:46:38.400 --> 0:46:40.800
<v Speaker 4>curious what it tastes like is because I would expect

0:46:40.800 --> 0:46:41.640
<v Speaker 4>it to taste sort.

0:46:41.520 --> 0:46:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Of cherry ish, That's what he thought.

0:46:43.320 --> 0:46:45.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but not at all. But I would be okay

0:46:45.520 --> 0:46:47.920
<v Speaker 4>if it tasted cherry ish and also kind of tasted

0:46:47.960 --> 0:46:48.680
<v Speaker 4>like tea or something.

0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, tasted like none of those tasted like flowers. Gross.

0:46:53.440 --> 0:46:55.440
<v Speaker 3>I should always try something that seems.

0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:58.840
<v Speaker 1>A little off, especially ice cream. They let you try it,

0:46:59.120 --> 0:46:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you know that part.

0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:02.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're allowed to do that. There was this time

0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:04.360
<v Speaker 3>period during COVID where you couldn't do you remember that.

0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:06.319
<v Speaker 4>That was the worst aspect of COVID.

0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:07.879
<v Speaker 3>I think I think we can all.

0:47:07.840 --> 0:47:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Agree, all agree that was the low point.

0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well someone finally came back, bro, Like, I think

0:47:12.960 --> 0:47:13.480
<v Speaker 3>we're out of it.

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:19.360
<v Speaker 2>All right, Okay, last story, This is short and sweet.

0:47:20.560 --> 0:47:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts City is offering free coffee for reporting potholes.

0:47:25.640 --> 0:47:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh I love that. Yeah, they do that.

0:47:27.719 --> 0:47:29.040
<v Speaker 3>If they did it in New York, they would go

0:47:29.120 --> 0:47:29.800
<v Speaker 3>out of the business.

0:47:30.040 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Well this is the eighth year they've done it, so

0:47:33.120 --> 0:47:34.200
<v Speaker 1>it's super successful.

0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:38.440
<v Speaker 2>They put up like an Instagram saying spring flowers are

0:47:38.440 --> 0:47:41.360
<v Speaker 2>starting to emerge, and so are the potholes. Help us

0:47:41.400 --> 0:47:42.880
<v Speaker 2>find them and get a free drink. This is like

0:47:43.040 --> 0:47:48.479
<v Speaker 2>I love that Lemonster mass right apparently, and this rings true.

0:47:49.480 --> 0:47:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Last year the department fixed more.

0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Than five thousand potholes in one Lemonster one town.

0:47:55.000 --> 0:47:55.239
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:47:55.640 --> 0:47:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if your towns have been like this,

0:47:58.600 --> 0:48:01.920
<v Speaker 2>but because of the harsh winter we had in Connecticut

0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:02.960
<v Speaker 2>and everywhere in the Northeast.

0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the potholes are out of control.

0:48:05.920 --> 0:48:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I mean every street is like buckling up from

0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:11.880
<v Speaker 2>just being under snow for like months.

0:48:12.040 --> 0:48:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we can't go anywhere without kind of trying to

0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:17.400
<v Speaker 1>avoid the potholes.

0:48:17.440 --> 0:48:21.200
<v Speaker 2>The curbs are crumbling, like I imagine every town's got

0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:22.040
<v Speaker 2>some issues this year.

0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:23.239
<v Speaker 1>But this is so fun.

0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:25.640
<v Speaker 4>It's a great way to get community engagement. Yeah.

0:48:25.880 --> 0:48:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, isn't it great? And people love it? The town

0:48:28.400 --> 0:48:29.640
<v Speaker 1>people love it. Here's how it works.

0:48:31.080 --> 0:48:33.640
<v Speaker 2>City of Leminster has relaunched its annual Coffee for Potholes

0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:36.360
<v Speaker 2>campaign to encourage residents to report potholes in exchange for

0:48:36.400 --> 0:48:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a compliment each drink from one of several local coffee

0:48:39.560 --> 0:48:40.759
<v Speaker 2>shops partnering with the city.

0:48:41.160 --> 0:48:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Dunk is not on this.

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:45.080
<v Speaker 4>Too big, they are too big.

0:48:45.239 --> 0:48:47.560
<v Speaker 1>These are like small coffee shops.

0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:51.480
<v Speaker 2>To receive the free drink, residents must first report a

0:48:51.520 --> 0:48:54.480
<v Speaker 2>pothole by calling DPW, and then can visit the Mayor's

0:48:54.520 --> 0:48:57.520
<v Speaker 2>office at City Hall during standard business hours to collect

0:48:57.520 --> 0:48:59.840
<v Speaker 2>a free drink card from one of the participating shops.

0:49:00.239 --> 0:49:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Only one card can be issued per person, regardless of

0:49:03.200 --> 0:49:05.080
<v Speaker 2>how many potholes are are reported.

0:49:05.120 --> 0:49:07.319
<v Speaker 3>I wonder how many people actually go through that. It's

0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:08.880
<v Speaker 3>a it's a few steps, it is.

0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Those are steps I don't know that I would take. Yeah,

0:49:11.480 --> 0:49:14.279
<v Speaker 2>but honestly, but like it wouldn't accord it.

0:49:14.719 --> 0:49:17.040
<v Speaker 4>And I like the idea of, like, you know, in

0:49:18.360 --> 0:49:19.960
<v Speaker 4>encouraging community.

0:49:19.760 --> 0:49:22.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, engagement and realizing that you have the power,

0:49:22.560 --> 0:49:24.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, like that you can actually really realize.

0:49:24.960 --> 0:49:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Notice, yeah, I love that community aspect of it too,

0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:31.840
<v Speaker 1>less the coffee part, but yes, I love it.

0:49:31.960 --> 0:49:32.279
<v Speaker 4>I love it.

0:49:32.360 --> 0:49:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Great idea, great idea lemonster. That's all I've got for coffee.

0:49:36.080 --> 0:49:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Wow, well I have.

0:49:37.080 --> 0:49:38.440
<v Speaker 3>One piece of coffee news.

0:49:38.480 --> 0:49:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh what do we got?

0:49:39.320 --> 0:49:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Sent in from Matt Ka, one of our listeners. Okay, okay,

0:49:43.880 --> 0:49:49.600
<v Speaker 3>so he's describing he's really into baseball, minor league in particular,

0:49:49.840 --> 0:49:52.919
<v Speaker 3>and I guess minor league baseball teams do this sort

0:49:52.960 --> 0:49:55.319
<v Speaker 3>of like what to me sounds like a little bit

0:49:55.320 --> 0:50:01.400
<v Speaker 3>of a marketing charade where they rename themselves first season. Yeah, okay,

0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:04.600
<v Speaker 3>so my Instagram algorithm has been filled with alternate minor

0:50:04.719 --> 0:50:07.439
<v Speaker 3>league baseball team announcements. This is when a team takes

0:50:07.520 --> 0:50:09.960
<v Speaker 3>on a new persona with a goofy regional connection for

0:50:10.040 --> 0:50:10.720
<v Speaker 3>a few games.

0:50:10.880 --> 0:50:12.080
<v Speaker 1>This is our writer, our reader.

0:50:12.200 --> 0:50:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this is Matt describing, for example, the Akron rubber Ducks,

0:50:16.719 --> 0:50:21.439
<v Speaker 2>which is already something, became the Akron galley.

0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:23.479
<v Speaker 3>Boys last season. I don't know what that means. Okay,

0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:26.840
<v Speaker 3>this year I stumbled across the Redding Fight and Fills.

0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Yep, and they just recently became are you ready the

0:50:30.480 --> 0:50:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Redding Iced Coffee Shut What he shares with us an

0:50:35.480 --> 0:50:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Instagram link?

0:50:37.960 --> 0:50:40.320
<v Speaker 1>So this is their logo? No, I need that.

0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 2>It's and they have a hat so the logo is

0:50:43.800 --> 0:50:46.320
<v Speaker 2>of an iced coffee right now, and it does have

0:50:46.480 --> 0:50:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the instagrammable sort of like milk filtering down into these

0:50:51.600 --> 0:50:54.120
<v Speaker 2>layers of coffee. So like the bottom of the coffee

0:50:54.239 --> 0:50:56.360
<v Speaker 2>is like a darker brown, the middle where the eyes

0:50:56.440 --> 0:50:58.399
<v Speaker 2>are is like a lighter brown, and then the white

0:50:58.480 --> 0:51:01.600
<v Speaker 2>sort of top, and there's and ice cubes. Hilariously, just

0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:04.480
<v Speaker 2>to show you too, well, yeah, so this is I

0:51:04.520 --> 0:51:05.080
<v Speaker 2>looked him up.

0:51:05.080 --> 0:51:07.759
<v Speaker 3>It's the same guy. I love this. Just to point out.

0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Matt on Instagram tagged see and was like, this

0:51:12.719 --> 0:51:14.440

<v Speaker 3>is like it looks like it's going to go take

0:51:31.960 --> 0:51:35.080
<v Speaker 3>someone down. Not play bass, because you know, it is

0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:39.520
<v Speaker 3>very fun. There's at It's a very cute marketing play.

0:51:39.640 --> 0:51:44.840

0:51:44.440 --> 0:51:45.960
