Speaker 1: And Jerry Mathers as the Weaver. I sometimes think about

30
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: the fact that somebody was the first person to hear

31
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: that piece right there, and they had to go, h Okay, now,

Speaker 1: You can't have an opinion today because it's mother's milk.

37
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: It's all you've ever know. It's so much more than

38
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: just that piece. It's it's your childhood, it's what cereal

39
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: you were eating or whatever. So I don't eat cereal

40
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: anymore because I don't eat breakfast. But it reminded me

41
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: the other day. My dad has a snack. He lives

42
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: by his blood sugar. He's a very, very severe diabetic.

43
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: And most people when I say diabetic, they oh, I'm

44
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: diabetic too. Do you take shots?

45
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 6: No?

46
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: No, I just had you have a high A one. See,

47
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: there's very different. He is a severe, brittle diabetic. He

48
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: can die. He can go into a state of shock

49
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: very very fast, and he has to monitor that very carefully.

50
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: So his snacks. You know, we're monitoring his blood sugar

51
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: at all times. First thing we talk about what is

52
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: that number? And it's volatile. We were on the he

53
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: was on let's say we we live it with him.

54
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: He was on the monitor and a lot of people

55
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: would do a lot of people did the monitor where

56
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: you you wear it on your arm, sorry, on your tummy.

57
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: You got your your your monitor on your on your bicep,

58
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: but your uh, your injection point on your stomach. And

59
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: we did that for about ten years and it just

60
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: didn't work for him. So my wife said, a few

61
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: months ago, why don't we pull back. And I have

62
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: a brother, Steve, who's a diabetic. He takes shots and

63
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: he does the monitor. And he agreed and we kind

64
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: of defer to him on that stuff because he's living

65
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: it now too, and went back to the shots, which

66
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: he's done his whole life and he's much better with it.

67
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: But anyway, so he he said, bowl cereal just before

68
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: he goes to bed. And I said, I'm gonna tuck

69
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: you to bed tonight. Dad. He said, okay, I'll hurry up.

70
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, I'm for once. I'm not in

71
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: a hurry. I'm gonna I'm gonna sit here till you're ready.

72
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: And he said, well, I still need to get my snack.

73
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: And I felt like, you know when I was a kid,

74
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, can I just have my snack before

75
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I go to a bed? And I just have ten

76
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: more minutes? And I said that I'm in no hurry.

77
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: And it was late for him. It was after ten o'clock.

78
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: He sat down and started in on his cheerios, and

79
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: he was enjoying his cheerios so much. And I thought

80
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: to myself, Man, that is one of the things I

81
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: miss in life, right. I mean, I could eat a

82
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: bowl cereal tomorrow if I wanted it. It's not that

83
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: I can't have a bowl of cereal, but cereal was

84
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: such a happy moment in my life. It's such a

85
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: fond memory that I have. And he was eating his

86
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: cereal with such enjoyment that it just made me happy

87
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: to think about it. That's it, Nick, Can you hold

Speaker 7: So I just wanted to talk about the water birder thing.

93
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 7: So I actually did a contract in Corpus Christy with

98
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,080

104
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,760

Speaker 7: my fries in the gravy.

109
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: And in the last month I've noticed that.

110
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 7: It's basically if it wasn't for the banais and cheese,

111
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,680

00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: That's a bummer. You got a great voice, Nick. What

117
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: do you do for a living?

118
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 7: I so related to the guy who was talking before.

119
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 7: So I've been in healthcare for a while. So I

120
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 7: did for I did clinical assessments for humanity and well care,

121
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 7: and then I did work on epilepsy and sleep, apnea,

122
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 7: implants and patience for quite a while, and then I

123
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 7: did some I work in oil.

124
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: And gas too.

125
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 7: Also, I'm basically a consultant that goes from place to place.

126
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, cool, Glad to hear from you. That's

127
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: what I have.

128
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 7: One I have one last thing to say. Nobody agrees

129
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 7: with me on Facebook. The worst thing I think that

130
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 7: Obama did it with he gave away I can, which

131
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 7: I don't know if you know what I can is,

132
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 7: but so I can. Basically, when you go to a website,

133
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 7: they forged you to the actual website. And then if

134
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 7: Obama gave it to the E News, So now China

135
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 7: is in popic of that.

136
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 8: Underson, all right, thank you.

137
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: I feel Bert W. Twenty five, Patrick Joe and Crazy Nay.

138
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 7: My Last Hood with air grabbing scoops Mit the Michael

139
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 7: Berry fucking wood Bensosmobile Escaped from the Ordinary.

140
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: I wonder how many people under the age of fifty

141
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: five have such a romantic view of truck driving as

142
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: I do. I think if you're fifty five to seventy

143
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: and never drove trucks, you have a very romantic view

144
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: of it because born in seventy, you know, by the

145
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: mid seventies you had such such a love affair with

146
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: truckers in pop culture. My uncle was a mechanic, my grandfather.

147
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: One of the jobs he had is is at night

148
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: after everything else, because he liked the action. Franklin I

149
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: would ride with him. Is that he drove the tow

150
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: truck for eighteen wheelers for H and E, which was

151
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Huey and Elmer, which was a tow company in Orange.

152
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: And so he would listen to the scanner and I

153
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: would sit and listen to scanner with him, and when

154
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: there was an eighteen wheeler down, then we'd have to

155
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: go and hook up and latch up. And he enjoyed that.

156
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: You know, that was a certain kind of old Southern man,

157
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: I say, old southern white man. They're probably some black

158
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: dudes like this too, but it's what all I knew

159
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: was old southern white men who listened to the scanner

160
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: and liked to go out into the action and had

161
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: an excuse to right we go, I'm here. But really

162
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: he just wanted to talk to the cops and see

163
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: what had happened and who got in trouble, and you know,

164
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that was all kind of that was all

165
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: kind of interesting to him and frankly interesting to me. Patrick.

166
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: In Victoria Corpus, it says Victoria Corpus Christian. I don't

167
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: know why it has both of them, but anyway, go ahead, Patrick.

168
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 6: Barry, how are you.

169
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm good? Go ahead.

170
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 6: Are you talking about that lover's laying thing?

171
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, I.

172
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 6: Don't know who's been. Some years back, me and my

173
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 6: wife's side will take a little country creuse out to

174
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 6: the lake over there on the other side of town.

175
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 6: Had a bott a little six pack, and we're sitting

176
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 6: there in the dark on this little abandoned, little guess,

177
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 6: little farming road, and uh, now we get to drink

178
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 6: a couple of beers and start getting a little hot,

179
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 6: heavy and that one.

180
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: That one would cost Eddie Martinez bonus if that one

181
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: got on the air, Well, it wouldn't be that much.

182
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: He got a big bonus coming. There's a lot of money.

183
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money right there. How long before

184
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: we can go back from here?

185
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: You know?

186
00:10:59,600 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 6: Oh?

187
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Is it really? Are you serious?

188
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 7: Oh?

189
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: Okay? How is how long has the dlay got to bed? Okay?

190
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: Will you tell me when we're back In the meantime,

191
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: I will talk about Well, I'm not going to curse.

192
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm a pro. I've been at this for twenty years.

193
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: That's why I don't even curse off the air. I

194
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: don't even like people curse around me, and I tell them.

195
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: People will say, you don't curse. I say, I used to.

196
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: But the reason I don't curse is because if I

197
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: get in the habit, I like to say curse. It

198
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: sounds very formal. If I get in the habit, then

199
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: I'll do it on the air. And I've never done

200
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: it on the air, no one time. You've been with

201
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: me for twenty well you have been with me for

202
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: twenty years, Chad been with me for twenty years. You

203
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: know you haven't You weren't on the air with me

204
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: for twenty years? Are we ramped up yet? Let's go

205
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: back to old crazy Nick, you know who'll not cuss

206
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: this old crazy Nick. Although that's not true. You know,

207
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago we did the listener event

208
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: to ask them, and Nick came on the listener event.

209
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: I think it was like ten thousand dollars and I

210
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: was like, Nick, you don't have ten thousand dollars. I

211
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: don't care. I want to come on this trip, Okay,

212
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: all right, because there's pretty hard expenses that have to

213
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: be paid out all this, and I had already the scholarships.

214
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: Russell had had paid for I think four scholarships that year,

215
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: and I'd already done my scholarships, so I didn't have

216
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: any left. Nick came and on the last day, we

217
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: were going to do pancake Day, right, and I had

218
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: flown Bryant Reckland, Reckland, Wreckling, Bryant Reclean to cook Nick Pleason,

219
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: and so he was going to come up and cook.

220
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: And so Sunday he was going to do pancakes and

221
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: we're going around. You know, I had rented this big,

222
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: six bedroom house with these massive balconies because Aspen is

223
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: really expensive to rent venues, and I wanted us to

224
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: be able to just hang out there and we did

225
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: and it was awesome. And so Nick as for his

226
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: thing about him is he's a master pancake maker. Had

227
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: you worked for Papa's or something?

228
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 5: What was the story omelet remember omelets?

229
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

230
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, Nix.

231
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 5: Nicholas declared, yeah, it was for Papa Dot's brunch at

232
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 5: the next to the Papasitos that you worked at it

233
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: Richmond and Kirby.

234
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: Yes, So he said, I'm a master omelet maker. And Bryant,

235
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: who's a chef, was like, oh okay, mister Hotshaw. So

236
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: I said, all right, well then he said I'll make

237
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: the omelets on Sunday. And I'm like, we got a

238
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: professional chef here, we got Nicholas over here. Who the

239
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: problem is when somebody told you they're really good at

240
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: something like hey, I can sing, listen to this, and

241
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: you go, oh okay. But now everybody's counting on this.

242
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: This the last meal we're going to have together. I

243
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: got Mimosa's, I got Bloody Mary's. It's going to be

244
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: the last meal we're getting on a private plane. This

245
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: is what everybody's going to remember. And I you know

246
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: I've had a few. At that point, I'm a few

247
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: cigars in. Everybody's enjoying themselves. The next morning, Uncle Jerry said, hey,

248
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: you sure you want Nicholas making the un We didn't

249
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: taste his omelet. I said, oh, dear God, did I

250
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: agree to that? Yes, yes, you've got Nicholas long and

251
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: short of it is. The upshot was the omelets would

252
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: change your life. He's a master ominika, crazy, crazy as

253
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: a rat, but good olmid Makers to I love Richard Manuel.

254
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: It's gotten to where I can't watch the uh, the

255
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: Last Dance because Robbie Robertson so screwed him out of

256
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: his moment for his solo. He's got the camera on, uh,

257
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: what's the recovered alcoholic angry irishman Van Morrison. He's got

258
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: it on Joni Mitchell. He's got it on Neil Young's booger.

259
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: That's that's Richard Manuel's moment, and he in scor says

260
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: he didn't give it to him. I'll never forgive him

261
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: for that. I got so many taunting emails after we

262
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: after we interviewed Robbie Robertson, Uh, you criticized Robbie Robertson.

263
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: Until you had him on, you didn't, you didn't criticize him.

264
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: Then he was the last living member of the band.

265
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: He's my closest connection to Leavon, Helm and Garth and Richard.

266
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: You really expect me to insult the dude about his biography?

267
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: Are you picking your nose? Okay? Weird, but all right, Nick, Yes, okay.

268
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: So I would like to say about cursing. I try

269
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 5: not to do it often. Also, I feel like it

270
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 5: loses its weight when you do it all the time, right,

271
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 5: Like if I'm going to drop the F bomb, but

272
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 5: I do it every other word, there's no weight to

273
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 5: that anymore.

274
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: I've noticed I noticed people who do it as a

275
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: filler the way uh the woman will say, our kids

276
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: will say, I don't like it. I don't want to

277
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: sound like a prude or whatever. I don't like it.

278
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't like when people do it. And I don't

279
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: cuss in front of my wife. I don't like when

280
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: people cuss in front of my wife or my kids.

281
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: I just it's kind of one of those things. I

282
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: just don't I've noticed people do it and don't realize

283
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: they're even doing it.

284
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's intertwined into regular everyday speech. Now the

285
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 5: second thing I wanted to come circle back to. Let's

286
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 5: circle back to Waterburger if we could. They're not all

287
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 5: created equal. I've noticed I use the app when I

288
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 5: order so I can get my bun toasted both sides.

289
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 5: I can no pickle, easy mustard, whatever I want to do, right.

290
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: So that's something bun toasted on both sides.

291
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 5: You know what, sir, So that alleviates some of the

292
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 5: guestwork on consistency. That's something that actually got worse since

293
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 5: they got bought out, was the consistency from Waterberg water

294
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: Burger for Waterburger, which is quite ironic in my opinion.

295
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 5: You would think that would have been something I got

296
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: tightened up. The other trick would be to do the

297
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 5: old prize with no salt. So they make you a

298
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 5: fresh batch of fries, and they're not going to let

299
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 5: them sit too long because you're standing there waiting, so

300
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 5: they pull them out immediately. Also, so the fries that

301
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 5: then consisting every time if you have a few minutes

302
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 5: to wait, like two minutes and forty nine seconds.

303
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, if you think about it, Nicholas, if you

304
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: think about it, and we think about it as the consumer, right,

305
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 1: so this burger and fries and coke is important to us.

306
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: It is. You know, it's funny when people will say

307
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: when they will reduce things BUCkies or water burger or

308
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: whatever else to its mere parts, and it's not that interesting. Well,

309
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: what is interesting. We're walking through this earth and then

310
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: we die. There are little things that we have emotional

311
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: connections to and we build them up. Nestlie Quick, Bluebell

312
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: ice cream whatever. That might be a TV program. So

313
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: what happens is in the cold, clinical light of day,

314
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: at ten am, at a conference table in New York,

315
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: they bring in a sheet of paper. Or now it's

316
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: a computer scream, but let's just stick with my analogy.

317
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: They bring in a sheet of paper with numbers on

318
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: it and the name of the business need not even

319
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: be at the top, and that business says, all right,

320
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: here's the here's the debt, here's the assets. Here's the

321
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: capital improvements. Here is uh operational uh, here's ibit dah.

322
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: Here's here's these various things right, here's how many locations,

323
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: here's the value of the leases. Here's all these things,

324
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: and here's what it will cost for us to buy

325
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: out the people who have been running that. You don't

326
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: You don't even need to know the name at the

327
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: top of the page when you do that deal. So

328
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: when a guy does that deal, he doesn't care what

329
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: that means to you or me. And that doesn't make

330
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: him a bad person. This is the nature of our system.

331
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: It does not make him a bad person. It's just

332
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: what he does.

333
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 6: Right.

334
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: You've seen greed is good, You've seen whatever that TV

335
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: show is Wall Street. So there's no emotional connection. Well,

336
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: when that happens, anybody's been around this process knows everything

337
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: that separated Waterburger from Hardy's, Carls Jr. And everything else

338
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: is now gone because that person does not value that.

339
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: There is no there is no connection to the past.

340
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: Your name is not on the business. It's gone. And

341
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: so now you know, Let's say they buy something. I'll

342
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: use round numbers. Let's say they buy it for ten

343
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and they buy it for ten thousand dollars,

344
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: and it makes one thousand dollars a year, so multiple

345
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: of ten, it profits ten thousand dollars top line, and

346
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: they go for this to make sense for us, it's

347
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: got to throw off four thousand dollars a year, Well,

348
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: how do we do that? And so that's when you

349
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: go in and go, what do we spend on salt?

350
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: Cut ninety percent of that and let's see how the

351
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: consumer respond. Let's cut this, let's cut this, let's cut this,

352
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: let's cut this, and let's see how they respond. And

353
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: the assumption is that the consumer will simply take it

354
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: and they'll move on down the road. And that is

355
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: why almost to everything I do, I will only to

356
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: the extent that I can, I will only use an

357
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: owner operated, locally owned and operated business. Now sometimes it's

358
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: a field you can't do that, but that's why we

359
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: have sought out and that's why our best endorsement is.

360
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: So when ACE Hardware came in, I asked, I asked

361
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 1: to speak for Ace Hardware for ten years. And because

362
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: each one is individually owned, they're not like a wall,

363
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: they're not like a wal Mart or Home Deep or Lows.

364
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: They had to get the each of the individual owners

365
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: to agree, and there were a couple of holdouts. So

366
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: they created a company within the company of of individual owners.

367
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: And so there's like thirty six in the area, and

368
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: I think there's thirty four that are part of it.

369
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: ACE Hardware Texas dot Com, and as with any group,

370
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: there was maybe one person was like, ah, he's too controversial.

371
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: The others were all listeners. So I want in a

372
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: place you could go to buy hammers and bird seed

373
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: and barbecue pits and gifts and of course paint and

374
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: everything else that would rival the big box stores, but

375
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: be locally owned and operated. Only way they can do that. Again,

376
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: for a lot of industries, the only way you can

377
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: still make it make sense. So with Ace Hardware, it

378
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: was we joined the Ace Collective. So now instead of

379
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: buying ten hammers at a time, we buy one hundred thousand,

380
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: which is still not as much as Low's or Home Depot,

381
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: but at least we can compete with their price. Otherwise

382
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: you got to sell your hammer for three times what

383
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: a Home Depot and Lows does. My point is, in

384
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: order to shop owner operated, locally owned, it's become harder

385
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: and harder, and you've got to work at it. But

386
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: I do it not just because it makes me feel good.

387
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a better experience show. If you don't

388
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: get on the program today and you have a thought

389
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: to share, send it by email through the website. Michael

390
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: Berryshow dot com, Michael Berryshow dot com, Nicholas, Oh.

391
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 5: You're gonna blame that on me. If they didn't get

392
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 5: on the show, send make an email. How the gun.

393
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: It's good?

394
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 2: Is?

395
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: What is your standard order at at Waterburg? Do you

396
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: get the same thing?

397
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: Uh?

398
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 6: Now I do?

399
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I used to mix it up. Usually one of

400
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 5: the all time favorites, Patty Melt or something like that.

401
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 5: They did a promotion when King of the Hill launched

402
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 5: the adults carttoon, you know, they did the reboot of

403
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 5: King of the Hill or whatever. They did a promotion

404
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 5: that was Hank Killed number two and it was a freebie.

405
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 5: So I always do whatever freebies they have on the app.

406
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 5: So now, long story short, my order is the number

407
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: two U bunch toasted on both sides, yep, dang, no pickles,

408
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 5: easy mustard, and then I add one slice of bacon.

409
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 5: You can add however many you want on the app,

410
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 5: but it costs per slice, right, So I do one

411
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 5: slice and they usually give you two sixty cents a slice.

412
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you this.

413
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 5: And I found out that I like it with no

414
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 5: cheese because of that Hank Kill thing. I thought that

415
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 5: was insane, but I'm like, let me try a hank

416
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 5: Kill order and when.

417
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: When you tell it bun toasted on both sides? Is

418
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: that a is that in the special instructions or is

419
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: that an option that you click. I've never ordered food

420
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: like that.

421
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it gives it gives you the option, so you

422
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 5: you pick what burger you want and it shows little

423
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 5: pictures like pictures of tomatoes, pictures of the onions, whatever.

424
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 5: You click on the picture and then you can hit

425
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 5: the plus sign to add more or the minus signed

426
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 5: to go easy.

427
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: Mess up your order.

428
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: Now if I go, So, I like to go to

429
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 5: the one in a clear Wood Edgebrooks. They're the most

430
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 5: efficient that I've found so far. Fair Mount and Yuma

431
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 5: is the best ambiance with all the old people. Clear

432
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 5: Wooden edgebrook off of forty five is the most efficient.

433
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 5: So they don't mess up my order anymore at all.

434
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 5: If you just randomly go to them, I would say

435
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 5: twenty percent fifteen percent. Something's going to be a little

436
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 5: off if you tweak it. You know, I'm pretty picky

437
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 5: or particular on what I like.

438
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: So do you think it's more accurate if you do

439
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: it on the app? Yes?

440
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well no, I can't say that. I can't say

441
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 5: that because I don't order at the counter anymore. I

442
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 5: only do the app.

443
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: Okay, when you do the app, do you go in

444
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: and get it or do you do the drive through?

445
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 5: I've started doing going in to get it. Drives throughs

446
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 5: two up in the air and if there's going to

447
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 5: be a long line or not, and sometimes they'll wait

448
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 5: to put the friesen until you walk in, even though

449
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 5: to go order. So I get a burg I do

450
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 5: that burger for breakfast most times, so I'm kind of

451
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 5: like you. I fast a lot of the time and

452
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 5: then that's my that's my meal that I have for

453
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 5: breakfast a lot of the time. So they have to

454
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 5: put new friest.

455
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: So how far before you pick it up? How long

456
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: before you pick it up do you put in the

457
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: order online?

458
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 5: If I'm doing the Clearwood and Edgebrook, I'm going to

459
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 5: put that in, like stay eight minutes before I get there.

460
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: And the food's not cold you get there.

461
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 5: Nope, I've got it timed out pretty good because you

462
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 5: figure if they're depending on how busy they are right

463
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 5: you can't see down the freeway and how many people

464
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 5: are in drive through right now or whatnot? But depending

465
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 5: on the busyness at that time, that's going to dictate.

466
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 5: And then again, I do a burger for breakfast, so

467
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 5: they're having to fire off in a different direction, I think,

468
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 5: compared to what most people are ordering. So I keep

469
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 5: that in mind. Like nine o'clock in the morning.

470
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know they would make a burger that early.

471
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, they'll make burgers. I think twenty four,

472
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 5: twenty four to seven. I think it's breakfast from like

473
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 5: eleven to eleven or something like that.

474
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: You don't eat their taketo.

475
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 5: Not typically they have a buy one, get one on

476
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 5: the app right now, so I may, But no, I

477
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 5: just looked at like four dollars for one taketo, and

478
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 5: I could go to an actual place, you know, like

479
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: a Mexican place to get good tacos for cheaper than that.

480
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 5: So I don't.

481
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 6: A burger for that burger.

482
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: You know, people are always very conscious of what stuff costs.

483
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: I've noticed that in twenty years of doing this because

484
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: I get a lot of inputs, right, a lot of

485
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: boog in their opinions. But I have noticed in the

486
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: last six months people complaining about price more than I

487
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: have noticed, except for right, before the twenty four election.

488
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: And I have theories on this, which will take longer

489
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: than now to go into, but I give an example.

490
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: So yesterday I saw a commercial for Cudoba. This kind

491
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: of looks like it's a Taco Bell competitor concept, and

492
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: that sounded to me like such a cheesy you know,

493
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: like some corporate you talk about the private equity guys,

494
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: some corporate dweeb in New York coming up with the

495
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: same guys that write the country music songs. Now they're like, Okay,

496
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: here's a box down by the river with my girl

497
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: wearing jean shorts. Okay, do those and then he needs

498
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: to kind of sound like an auto tune of Jason Alding. Okay,

499
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: all right, here we go then. And I do believe

500
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: they're going to replace the human voice with AI as

501
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: soon as they can, because it'll be cheaper. They'll just

502
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: pay a royalty for that voice. But so Cudoba, for

503
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: some reason, irritated me. It just felt like, all right,

504
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: this is you attempting to create a a what's kind

505
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: of supposed to seem like a Mexican concept, you know,

506
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: authentic Mexican concept, when in fact it's created at a

507
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: new York boardroom, and that just bothered me at that point,

508
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: maybe because the cougars were losing. The Longhorns had just lost,

509
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: uh you know at the wire, so maybe I was

510
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: just in a bad mood. Whatever, So I I looked.

511
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I bet you that's some

512
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: corporate bull crap. And guess what it is, cute, you

513
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: know what it is. Q Doba was created by Jack

514
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: in the box. So somebody said, some little dwib yeah,

515
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: some little counting Dwe saved money, save it money. He said, uh.

516
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: He said, uh, oh, well, let's you got to have

517
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: a Q and a C like uh Kate quapp what

518
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: was that? It's got to sound like it's as techy okay,

519
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: and then and then people and that'll be our our

520
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: I'm serious, I'm serious.

521
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 8: And that's what they did frendy eight one seven. I

522
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 8: don't know where you people come from. I don't know

523
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 8: if you test your products, your quantity of your product.

524
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,840

528
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 8: ounce roll of sausage, but you don't have it anymore.

529
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 8: You've got a twelve ounce roll, and you've got three

530
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 8: men that weigh over two hundred pounds a piece, a

531
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,080
