Speaker 2: You didn't say welcome home because I don't.

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: Like the welcome home. It seems a little cheesy.

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: So weird. Welcome home.

12
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,600

28
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: Oh I'm going crazy now the time. It's like I'm

29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: doing a little tap dance on there every day. One

30
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: two three two hut two jiga ming mungbou.

31
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: I love when you do that.

32
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah you do.

33
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: All right, Let's cut to our first story. What the fork?

34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: All right? So this is a vegan restaurant owner is

35
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: slammed after adding but boom meat to her menu.

36
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I find humor in this one, actually, So I.

37
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: Mean that's pretty intense because I understand why people are mad.

38
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 3: So this vegan restaurant was like, hey, we've got to

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: add chicken and fish to our menu because we just

40
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: can't make it otherwise. And there is a cult, like understandably.

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: So I'm not saying this in a bad way. It's

42
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: not a pejorative. People who are devoted vegans right for

43
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: ethical reasons and then for health reasons, and many times

44
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: for both by the vegan mantra. So they go to

45
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: these restaurants not even just for the food, but for

46
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: the fact that they're trying to support an owner who

47
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: has similar viewpoints exactly. So I think that the reason

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: why they had it there was an uproar is because

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: they feel betrayed.

50
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Well, I yes, I could see why they're upset, right,

51
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: because I feel like if you go to a just

52
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: a like say our restaurant, and then we had like

53
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: a vegan option on the menu, it's not like that's

54
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: not as bad as like going straight from like vegan,

55
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, cruelty free people. That's what they say to

56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: then adding you know, chicken and fish on the menu.

57
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: However, I will say I think with some of our

58
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: customers if we did have a vegan option, they would

59
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 3: get angry, but they wouldn't be in an uproar. They'd

60
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: be like, why are you pandering too the vegle Well.

61
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: It's funny. So Ashley Cone, the owner and operator of

62
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: the vegan and gluten free restaurant Good Beat and Had

63
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: in Township, announced a quote plot twist on social media

64
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: last month.

65
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 2: Oh that's how she announced it was a plot.

66
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: Yes, and so she said, you know, we're keeping our

67
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: menu the same, but we're adding local, organic, pastorised chicken

68
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: or wild caught jail islands.

69
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 2: Jail island.

70
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what jail island is. We have to

71
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: look into.

72
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: That's kind of Funny's where they keep the salmon in jail.

73
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's just for a protein.

74
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: So they're gonna get sued by the aclu on that one.

75
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: I think it would have been funnier if she said

76
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: it's a fleshy sizzle a flesh. No too soon, That

77
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: is funny. So we actually owned like we owned a

78
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 3: restaurant that we opened in Irvine years ago, and it

79
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: was in this kind of like business focused food hall area.

80
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: We had a chicken restaurant, but then next to it

81
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: as well, we had a plant based restaurant. And the

82
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: idea wasn't to introduce alternative proteins. We weren't doing like

83
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: soy and Tampei and or sorry Tofu Tempe. We weren't

84
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: doing the beyond burgers or any of that. There's more

85
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: of just like a celebration of vegetables. I actually love vegetables,

86
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: and I think that we're relegated so often, just like

87
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: carrots and zucchini and broccoli, vegetable medley, right like the

88
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: bird's eye frozen medley people don't realize the bounty of vegetables,

89
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: especially in California that we have. We work with a

90
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: wonderful vegetable provider, Melissa's World Variety Produce, and they're always

91
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: introducing these fun, unique veggies, like you know, the Romanesque cauliflowers.

92
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: There's like twenty different types of cauliflowers. So we said,

93
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: why don't we open a restaurant where we highlight a

94
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: lot of these great vegetables and we'll do bowls with

95
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: like fun sauces quinois. The veggies we did, like that

96
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: fire roasted burger, We did the veggie poutine, fries.

97
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: We did the black bean burger. Yeah, it was phenomenal.

98
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: So we geared it towards We said our restaurant was.

99
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: What was where meat eaters and plant lovers unite? No,

100
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 3: we said, we're vegans and meat eaters unite.

101
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, something like a vegan restaurant for meat eaters.

102
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 3: You see, this wasn't very memorable for many, but I'll

103
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: say this on the economics of it.

104
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: We had like a devoted base of customers.

105
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: Every day they would come in and the majority of

106
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: them were vegan, and we did have a lot of

107
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: meat eaters too that came in and we're like, I

108
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: just want I want this because it tastes so good.

109
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: Like our black bean veggie burger.

110
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 3: Was to die for.

111
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: It was phenomenal, and our bowls were so good. We

112
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: had avocado fries, you remember, we had a lot of

113
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: fun stuff there in our sauces.

114
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: No, we called them avocado bombs. Oh.

115
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: I injected them with sauce before I breaded them, and

116
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: then we deep fried them and we serve them with this.

117
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Like we need to, you know what, we should bring

118
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: some of this to Calico.

119
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: But the point is, the point is is that even

120
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: though we had like the same fifteen customers coming back

121
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: day in and day out, there was such a small

122
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: subset of vegans or plant based diners to choose from

123
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 3: in the general area that we financially couldn't make it, Like,

124
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: we couldn't get our sales high enough by penetrating that audience.

125
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

126
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: So she even says that, you know, vegan restaurants aren't

127
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: like such a destination anymore, right, exactly. And a lot

128
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: of people I know a lot personally, a lot of

129
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: people who were vegan who are now like carnivore.

130
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they go from one extrame.

131
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so well in any.

132
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: Case, So that was kind of a funny WTF story.

133
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: And sorry about losing butterlyaf Maybe we'll bring it back

134
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: some day. I love another WTF what the folk story?

135
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: So Cinnabon is now selling wrapping paper that it literally

136
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: smells like cinnamon.

137
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Rolls, which I don't think you can eat it. But

138
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: I was telling Andrew, I'm like, okay, but what about

139
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: like your you have like pets and like the dog

140
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: think it's like a tree and they're just like eating

141
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: your paper.

142
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: Or furthermore, what if you have kids who like pets?

143
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably our kids would, but like ants would ants

144
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: come in play? You have an obsession with me because

145
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: we've been getting ants because of the rain and it's drive.

146
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 3: The other day, I was eating a piece of bread

147
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: and like a crumb dropped on the counter.

148
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: Lords like the ants are.

149
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: Coming No, okay, And we have a like playroom ish thing.

150
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: I go in there last night speaking of ants, and

151
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: I shake out a blanket that was like on the floor.

152
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: All these crumbs fly out because our son was eating

153
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: a sandwich. Somehow he meant to get half the sandwich

154
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: bread onto this blanket, and then there was a cluster

155
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: of ants and I'm like, I give up. I give

156
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: up in our house.

157
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 3: And I think it's important because we're in the group

158
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: setting right now, so I feel safe saying this. The

159
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: sun that you're referring to, eating the sandwich in the

160
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: blanket on.

161
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: The floor would be forty five was your husband, and

162
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: it was me. I needed a loane time.

163
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: It was the only area in which I could eat

164
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: the sandwich, because every time I try and eat a sandwich,

165
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: the minute I sit down with a sandwich, it's oh,

166
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 3: can you come do this?

167
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: Can you do this?

168
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: No?

169
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: Or the kids are like can you make me one?

170
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: I just want to eat my sandwich.

171
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: Exactly.

172
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: There's nothing worse than sitting down. You've sliced a sandwich

173
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: corner to corner, and you're ready to take that first bite,

174
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: and then someone's like, hey, can you grab me the

175
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: orange juice? Or or there's a knock on the door. Yeah,

176
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: and it's somebody that wants to talk politics. No.

177
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: Just speaking of being a parent, like, do you ever

178
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: feel like you sit down when you're at home?

179
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: No? I argue about it, I complain about.

180
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: It all like, I don't sit down. I'm like, even

181
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: when I drop the kids off at school and say

182
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm having like a day at home. This is totally

183
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: going off topic, but I will realize, oh my gosh,

184
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: it's time to pick up the kids from school, and

185
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: I have not sat down for one second.

186
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: Because you were laying down because you were sleeping.

187
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: I wish that was the case. No, I'm usually cleaning

188
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: up my forty five year old child's mess mam mach.

189
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: So that brings me to another off off topic point.

190
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: Lauren can't take naps, breaking my nap.

191
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying this to the listeners. Can you nap?

192
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: I mean, let's hear their answers, But I can't see here.

193
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: One person's already just called ending, Yes, I love napping.

194
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: See we've got one and another person.

195
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: I can't nap.

196
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: You know.

197
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: The only time I can nap is when I'm sick.

198
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: That's true.

199
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: He knows. Andrew knows. He goes, oh gosh, you're sick,

200
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: you're napping.

201
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: I can take a nap. I can sit down on him.

202
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: He's the annoying person that could close his eyes and

203
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: he's asleep. Yes, And I'm like, I will I'm like,

204
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: I want to kill him, like.

205
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 3: Seven minute nap. I'll be mid eating a sandwich and

206
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: I'll take a nap. I'll be like, okay, it looks

207
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: like the kids are.

208
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: And I know when he's napping, he'll like go hide

209
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: in the office and we have a count.

210
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: This has never come out before. I thought I was hiding.

211
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 3: Now I know that I always do that.

212
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: He'll go and I like see his feet on one

213
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: end of the couch and he'll like pretend to be

214
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: on his laptop and I glance over and his hat

215
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: is just covering his eyes and.

216
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: Because I'm reading an article on my laptom, Yeah.

217
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever. Anyway, I get really annoyed that he can

218
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: fall asleep, so quch.

219
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: She does, and then of course she'll come in and

220
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 3: be like, oh, time to vacuum. I just happen to

221
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: want a vacuum right there at three thousand decibels right.

222
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: Next to you.

223
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Okay, that is not true. I let you nap. But

224
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: then when the kids are like, it's just you know what,

225
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: we're not getting into this right now.

226
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: I think this is a.

227
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 3: Great segue to talk about snap benefits, because I might

228
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: need to be on them after I get.

229
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: Thrown out of the house.

230
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: So there's been this like this Snap Foo recently with

231
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: the Snap benefits. Now, I think it's interesting. Let me

232
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: just re kind of like refresh everybody on my perspective

233
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: on this. I think people who need help need to

234
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 3: get to help. What I the problem that I have

235
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 3: with the Snap benefits is its corporate welfare because the

236
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: only food that's available for people to use the Snap

237
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: benefits are in food deserts, right, So most of the

238
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: people that are using them are either in rural food

239
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 3: deserts or in inner city food deserts. And what a

240
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: food desert is is where there's no grocery stores. The

241
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: only thing you can do is go to like a

242
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: seven to eleven or convenience store. Nine percent of the

243
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: food there is potato, chips, sodas, et cetera. And the

244
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: people who make money on those Snap benefits and ultimately

245
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: also making you sick are soda, the big food manufacturers,

246
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: like the Big five, right, like the Freedo lays, the people,

247
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: the chips, et cetera. So people get mad, they're like, oh,

248
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 3: the Snap benefits are only people are only buying junk. Well,

249
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 3: that's the only option of food that they have to buy.

250
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: I think we should take the money from Snap benefits

251
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: and that we should be giving people real food and

252
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: doing it that way. So that's just like my overall

253
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: thesis on that. Now, in this Snap debate, a lot

254
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: of stories have come out about all of the Snap

255
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: fraud that's going on out there. I have a problem

256
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: with that because the people who truly need the Snap

257
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: benefits are then getting tainted by the people who are

258
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: using it for fraudulent purposes.

259
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at this, So one hundred and eighty six

260
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: thousand deceased men and women and children were receiving a check.

261
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 2: Wait, children disease. That's sad, that's sad.

262
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: It's so sad. But almost two hundred thousand people were

263
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: receiving quote unquote Snap benefits that aren't even in here.

264
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. But so where the checks, I.

265
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: Mean are their relatives seeing them?

266
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably a state or like whoever has the control

267
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: over Then if they cash the check, isn't that fraud?

268
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: If there's so much fraud, how can they get everyone?

269
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? If there's so much going on.

270
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: It's leakage, right, Like, there's always going to be a

271
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: certain amount that like slips.

272
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: Through and that was just in you know, red states,

273
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: Republican led states. They haven't even tapped into any of

274
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: the Democrat I.

275
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: Wouldn't say that even necessarily. That's always a political issue.

276
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: I think it's like there's always going to be fraud

277
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: across both parties. I mean this voting, this voting issue

278
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 3: here in California where the dog voted that was a

279
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: Republican true even though it underscores like certain irregularities with voting,

280
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 3: and we got to stop fix that. Like that wasn't

281
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: a particular party, right or it was. It just wasn't

282
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 3: the party that was screaming about it. The snap benefit

283
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: piece that I heard was in New Jersey because every

284
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: state has like certain there's a national program, but then

285
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 3: they give it to the states to administer the snap benefits.

286
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: Because this, I agree with, the federal government should be

287
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: in the business of doing that. We need to decrease

288
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: the size of the federal government. But in New Jersey

289
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: you can roll over your benefits from month to month

290
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 3: up to nine months. There was a video that went

291
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: viral on TikTok where the lady called and was on

292
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: speakerphone and she was kind of showing off to her friend,

293
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: and it said you know your available benefits are, and

294
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: it was twenty four nine hundred and fifty two dollars

295
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: or something. So basically she had gotten so much. And

296
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is this real or is this fake?

297
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: Right?

298
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: Because I don't take anything at face value anymore. So

299
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: I looked it up and what you can get up

300
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 3: to three or four thousand dollars a month based on

301
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: the amount of people in your family.

302
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 2: This is in New Jersey.

303
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: So if you think about it, if you roll that

304
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: over for six months, there you go, there's your twenty

305
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 3: four thousand dollars.

306
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: So what do you think about that?

307
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously if they truly needed it, they wouldn't

308
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: have this large balance. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like,

309
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: clearly you don't need it if you're able to save

310
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: all this money.

311
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: What was interesting was that there were some people in

312
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: the comments that said, well, no, you need to be

313
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: because somebody suggested no more rollover, right, like you shouldn't

314
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 3: be able to roll over. And then somebody in the

315
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: comment said, well, no, I get like two hundred dollars

316
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 3: a month or one hundred and fifty dollars a month,

317
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 3: and sometimes when I go grocery shopping and I get

318
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 3: a ride because I don't have a car, I need

319
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: to buy a ton of groceries that wants frozen foods,

320
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: can food, so I need like a three hundred dollars balance.

321
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: So in that scenario, that actually does make sense. So

322
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 3: it's almost like there should be a limit on the

323
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: rollover amount. If you could put that mechanism or that

324
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: that control in place, I think that that would help

325
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 3: prevent some of it. But the bottom line to all

326
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: of this is that now the USDA chief says that

327
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: everyone has to reapply for snap benefits after all of

328
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 3: this fraud came out now that the government is reopening.

329
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: Which I think that they should. I mean, to be honest,

330
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: if there's that much fraud, and there's that much you know,

331
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: people taking advantage of the system or what have you. Like,

332
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: I think, if you truly need it, you should obviously

333
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: obviously like you should be able to receive it. But

334
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: I feel like when people take advantage and they know

335
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: that they don't necessarily need to be on it, and

336
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: they continue, right, yeah.

337
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: I agree, what's the process going to be like to

338
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 2: reapply if it slows?

339
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: I mean, what do they do. Do they cut everyone

340
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: off and tell them to reapply? I don't know how

341
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: that's thought, and they.

342
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: Didn't actually present an issue. I think that like just

343
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: generally speaking, yeah, reapply and go through the process to

344
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: make sure that you're eligible, so long as it doesn't

345
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 3: hurt the people who like genuinely need them right away.

346
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: But that's where the state should step in and say, Okay,

347
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: let's say the federal government prevented money from cut from

348
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: distilling down to a local level, then either the local

349
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: or the county or the state government should step in

350
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 3: and they can subsidize that in the interim. I think

351
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: that that would be like the solution instead of pointing

352
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: a finger like state government's saying it's the federal government's fault,

353
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: the state, the federal government saying it's the state government's fault,

354
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: and then they they kind of like divert the responsibility around.

355
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: So but then you got the person who needs it.

356
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: It's like I don't care whose fault it is. I

357
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 3: need to get my food.

358
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, well we'll see how that as us.

359
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: Well, we're going to be following this story a lot.

360
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a funny story, kind of shoot so

361
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: you know how QVC and HSN were like all the

362
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: rage back in the day, like back in the day.

363
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: So I mean it still is, but I feel like

364
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: not like a like I would never watch it. I

365
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: think you have to be at least sixty year older.

366
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: You can't watch it because you don't take naps.

367
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: Well, we also don't have cable TV, so that's probably

368
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: why I don't watch it.

369
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: I have a feeling if you'd.

370
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Watch it, probably Okay. So there's a new you know,

371
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: a new movement in the shopping world. Okay, so this

372
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: is going to be the next trillion dollar industry. Can

373
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: you guess what it is?

374
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: I mean I don't know, Like QVC on steroids that

375
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: you've got to know.

376
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: So it's going to be live selling, so you know,

377
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: like where they can shop. So somebody's trying on the

378
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: clothes in the store like a live like a stream

379
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: like TikTok live okay or Instagram Live.

380
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: So I walk into a store, I'm on Instagram Live

381
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: and I'm like, hey, I'm over here at j C.

382
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: Pennies.

383
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: No, it's like their products, like it's like they have

384
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: like an online store, but this person's trying on the clothes.

385
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: They're answering questions live like does it you know? How

386
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: tall are you? What's your weight? So they can gauge

387
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: like is that going to look good on me? Because

388
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: online shopping you're kind of guessing, right, like I don't

389
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: know if it's going to fit me when I get

390
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: it and then you have to return.

391
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: So what are you calling in? Like how are you asking?

392
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: No, it's live, like when you go do you not

393
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: know what alive is? Okay? When you go on like

394
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: Instagram Live and then there's people watching and they're commenting,

395
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: they're asking you on the spot questions and you're able to.

396
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: Answer most of the time, people don't answer that.

397
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the whole point. They are answering. Okay, Oh

398
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: my gosh, Andrew, Well explain this five Okay. So the

399
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: CEO of Whatnot it's it's the prime live shop Whatnot?

400
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: What the primary live shopping company America just raised two

401
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five million at an eleven point five

402
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: billion valuation. So it sees this ballooning from one hundred

403
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: billion dollar market to a trillion dollar market in the

404
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: next few years. So do you understand what I'm saying?

405
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: So these sellers rotate items in front of the camera,

406
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: answering questions, so it's like shot.

407
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: It's like the experience is more like shopping at a

408
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: brick and mortar store without the hassle. Right, it's still online,

409
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: still online. You're looking on you're obviously watching your phone

410
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: or whatever.

411
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 3: So could I be like, oh, hold up the pants again, yes, exactly,

412
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 3: Like oh wait, I just noticed that there's the pants

413
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: are buttless.

414
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 2: I don't like those.

415
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: Buttless pan chaps. Yeah. So live video is sort of

416
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: the best way to bring in person commerce online. So

417
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: it's almost like if anyone can set up a brick

418
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: and mortar shop anywhere without building building the building, you

419
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

420
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 3: Oh, and then that those people's Instagram or whatever live

421
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 3: channels will be streamed on this new QVC type network.

422
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: It's not QVC.

423
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: It's like TikTok No, but it's going to be on TV.

424
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 3: No.

425
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

426
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, see I don't get it already.

427
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 3: If I don't get it, then this is the maybe

428
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: because you're not where you're gonna where Will I.

429
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: Watch this on TikTok So? This is TikTok No, babe,

430
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's TikTok. Read there's an article if

431
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: you want to read it.

432
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 3: Okay, So this makes no sense to me, and I

433
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: guess the other thing is is that if this is

434
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: going to be, how are they valuing this at eleven

435
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: point five billion dollars if I don't even understand it

436
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: in a simple description.

437
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I will just say for me, when I'm

438
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: watching somebody do their makeup, right, it's not alive. They

00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: It, But what's the company? How are they valuing the company?

442
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 3: What's the asset upon which they get the three eleven

443
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: point five billion?

444
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll have to dive deeper into this story.

445
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: Oh, this just gotten tense. I like it for food.

446
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about ways in which I can do

00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 3: this for food. People will be like, oh my gosh, no.

Speaker 3: How will I get the eleven point five billion dollar valuation?

454

Speaker 1: I don't understand you got so angry at that story.

470
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: Because I hate when I hear things like, oh, they

471
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: got an investment and now it's an a least point

472
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 3: five billion dollar valuation.

473
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: You know what, one day babe story?

474
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: All right, So could be jealousy.

475
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: I think it is.

476
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: I can't even value my shoes more than three dollars.

477
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go take a nap, all right.

478
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: So what's a food fact that'll blow your biscuit?

479
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: Did you know that cheese is the most stolen food

480
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: in the world.

481
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: I did not.

482
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: I wonder how that is. Are they stealing it from

483
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 3: the producer? Are they stealing it like at Whole Foods?

484
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: Probably off the shelf.

485
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: Do you know what's so funny? I was over it.

486
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: I was at Whole Foods the other day and I

487
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 3: was with the kids and Jack ripped one right, and

488
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: we were walking by the cheese aisle and this lady

489
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 3: was like, oh my gosh, this cheese is so right,

490
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: But it was really just Jack ripping one.

491
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: Are you serious?

492
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: Well no, I kind of made that story up, but

493
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: it's funny, did you know?

494
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 3: So?

495
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, cheese has stolen a lot.

496
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: Cheese is also one of the most illegally like transported

497
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 3: items because of like the pastization process.

498
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: There's a huge underground. I really was trade talked about this,

499
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: not here cheese.

500
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: We should, you know, next episode, we should talk about

501
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: the black market cheese trade.

502
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 3: Or just any black market foods, like the Devil's Picnic.

503
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: What's that?

504
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 2: It was actually a book about that, but I still

505
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: think it's a memorable name.

506
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: All Right. Do you know that spam was invented in Minnesota,

507
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: not Hawaii.

508
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: I did not know that because.

509
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I even thought that.

510
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so you said nineteen seventy five it was

511
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: nineteen thirty, So.

512
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: So I said nineteen thirty.

513
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 2: Second, I had.

514
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: Heard nineteen seventy five. I was like, that's weird. So

515
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: it was for World War two because then they could

516
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 3: pack it. Well, that wasn't ultimately why they developed it.

517
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 3: Why did they develop it?

518
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: So it was developed to utilize pork shoulder, a less

519
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: desirable cut, and was introduced as an inexpensive meat product.

520
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 3: Spam is so why the Hawaiian piece? I don't know,

521
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 3: because in World War Two there were so many soldiers

522
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 3: that were stationed in Hawaii, and therefore they were shipping

523
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 3: it out to the soldiers and it probably permeated the

524
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: local grocery.

525
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: That that makes sense, all connecting.

526
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: Okay, we used to do a spam pineapple and shrimp

527
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: taco off the food truck years ago. That was like

528
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: people would drive miles for that.

529
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: People love spam.

530
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you I.

531
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 3: Don't mind it? Like I'd pan fry it and have

532
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: it with like an egg.

533
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: Would you like go out of your way to bite

534
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: it at the store right now?

535
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 3: No? But I might today. I think we should do

536
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: spam recipes later. We're shooting for the holidays. I'm on

00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: There's only said.

543
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: Paw should I it would a fast be beneficial if

544
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: I stop at like eighteen hours?

545
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an intermittent fasting.

546
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 3: I don't think that your body's like, oh I said

547
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: nineteen hours, it's eighteen Like, let's turn it all around.

548
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be tweent, three pounds whatever.

549
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: It's all relative.

550
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: So Sweet Greens is opening its first drive through location

551
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: with an automated make line.

552
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: So that's robots, which they already have.

553
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: So I went to a Sweet Green the other day

554
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: and they have somebody working there, but nobody's actually making

555
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: your food for you.

556
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: So how are they doing it?

557
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: So they have all of these almost like dispensers of

558
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, say like the vegetables, the chicken whatever, you know,

559
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: the grains, and so say I pick out a bowl

560
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: and I want kinwa and chicken or whatever it is,

561
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: and then the bowlt gets set up on this line

562
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: and it goes down and they fill it for it.

563
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: Is it an arm like what fills It's just like

564
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: a dispenser. So yeah, it's like on a like a

565
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: belt almost, and it goes across and it fills in

566
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: like what you put on your order. So it's kind

567
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: of cool. I didn't really like it because I was

568
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: in store and I wanted to like have a person

569
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: make this for me, you know what I mean. Yeah, So,

570
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: I mean I guess like the drive through is not

571
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: that big of a deal, but I'm assuming they're going

572
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: to have a cashier. It's not just going to be

573
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: like all automated, is it.

574
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: No, that's whole thing, Like you still need the human element.

575
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: Food hasn't caught up with the AI as other manufacturing has,

576
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 3: although i'd.

577
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 2: Like to see it do.

578
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 3: So I just think that that's this is one industry

579
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 3: where like the artist is always going to be required,

580
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: the culinary artist. In certain types of food, fast food

581
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 3: or this kind of dump and stir or fast casual food,

582
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 3: you can prepare the food ahead of time.

583
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: Maybe a human does that, and then.

584
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: As you say, the dispensing can be done in an

585
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: automated manner. But I just don't see how this happens

586
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 3: on a grander scale.

587
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: I don't know.

588
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 3: Well, maybe we should go visit it and then we'll

589
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 3: tell all the listeners about it.

590
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we should. We should visit it.

591
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's visit it. Let's talk about cooking tips. I

592
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: want to sharpen your skills today. Do you have anything

593
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: for me or you want me to jump right there?

594
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: You jump in and I'll go after all right.

595
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 3: So somebody asked me the other day, like, I love

596
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: cooking with butter, but butter burn so easily.

597
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 2: Now.

598
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: The reason butter burns is because there's milk solids in there.

599
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: If you're using gee, which is clarified butter, where you

600
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 3: cook out the milk solids in the water, then it's

601
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: going to have a much higher smoke point or burn point.

602
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 3: So there's two different tricks and tips that you can use.

603
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 3: Number One, I finished with butter. I don't always cook

604
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 3: with butter. If you are cooking with butter and you

605
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 3: want it to have a higher smoke point, what you

606
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: can do is you can take room temperature butter and

607
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: you can actually drizzle in like a little bit of

608
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 3: extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil. If you're trying

609
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 3: to go seed oil free, and that will increase the

610
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: smoke point.

611
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 2: Of the butter. So that's a little tip or a

612
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 2: trick right there.

613
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: So you can have the butter that you cook with

614
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 3: that you mix in like one part avocado or olive

615
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 3: oil into the butter, and then you can have the

616
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 3: butter that you finish with to give it that mounted

617
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 3: rich mouthfield at the end, which is known as Monte Albert,

618
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 3: although I should say one of my eighty six is

619
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago or these silly French terms,

620
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: so I should just say mountain with butter. Another trick

621
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: is that people keep asking me like do I start

622
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: this vegetable in cold water or boiling hot water? And

623
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 3: the thing that we learned in culinary school is if

624
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 3: it grows underground, started in a cold pan. So any tubular,

625
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 3: any vegetable that grows underground, potatoes, beats, turnups, routebaga, celer react,

626
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 3: any of these, but primarily potatoes. For those of you

627
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 3: doing a basic cooking, you start those in cold wa

628
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: water and then you put the heat on and you

629
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 3: slowly bring it up to a boil. If it's grown

630
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: above ground, that's where you blanche it in boiling hot water.

631
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: So that's that's the trick right there.

632
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: All right. I have a little cooking tip, give me one,

633
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: all right, So preheat the sheet tray. Yep, yeah, right.

634
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: So a lot of people just throw on what they're

635
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: cooking on the sheet tray and put it in the oven.

636
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: So if you do that, if you preheat your sheet tray,

637
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: it will start the cooking process immediately when you add

638
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: your food, resulting in faster cooking and better browning.

639
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

640
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: I love it, absolutely love it. We got to get

641
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: people in the kitchen more. This is the problem with

642
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 3: nutrition and diet in Americas. People aren't cooking their own foods,

643
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 3: and it's all of that process food that's getting into

644
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 3: your diet, all the chemicals, and that's what's making people sick.

645
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 3: I always say that twenty percent of the federal budget

646
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 3: goes towards healthcare, you know, which ultimately goes back to food,

647
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: because so much of what we're dealing with from a

648
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: healthcare perspective is chronic disease. It's actually fifty percent now

649
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 3: in the last budget, fifty percent somehow related to healthcare.

650
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: Now that could be like Medicaid, Medicare, et cetera. But

651
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: I thought that was an interesting number that I just

652
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: wanted to update there. So I want to eighty six

653
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 3: a few things today. The first one, though, is I

654
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 3: am so over these kind of like kitchy menu items

655
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: that are all sex related.

656
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: Right, It's good because I don't I haven't seen him

657
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: any way.

658
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 3: I saw a menu the other day, and like they

659
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 3: pop up on social media, it'll be like like then, okay,

660
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 3: oh god, like the food truck that's you know, fu,

661
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: It'll be like I'm the phu king, right, you see

662
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, or like, you know this one menu

663
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 3: that was a bar menu, it was like, you know,

664
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 3: the nut in your mouth sandwich and it was a

665
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 3: peanut butter burger or something along those lines.

666
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 2: That's actually cross, I know.

667
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 3: But it's it's like it's gotten so old. It's just

668
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: it's very slapstick. I don't love it. I don't think

669
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: it's cool. Maybe I'm the old man now, like that's

670
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 3: you know.

671
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: A lot of things I don't agree with anymore, and

672
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, is this what getting older is?

673
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: Like? That's why I saw the meme the other day.

674
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 3: It was like it took me to be forty five

675
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 3: years old to realize that Clark Ridgswold actually is not crazy.

676
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: He's all of us.

677
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the Christmas vacation when he's standing there with

678
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: the chainsaw and he's screaming like, I'm like, oh my god,

679
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 3: that actually, Like when I was a kid, I'd be

680
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: like that guy's nuts.

681
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 2: Now I'm like totally.

682
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: Empathized with totally totally yes. Okay, so my eighty six

683
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: it yep, not food related again. But verification codes. Oh

684
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: my god. Why every time I go to log into anything,

685
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: I need a verification code And then like half the

686
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: time I can't get into my email and it's just annoying.

687
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: I forget all my verification.

688
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,840

Speaker 3: Your password is poopoo twenty three. Why do you forget that?

691
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: It used to be something stupid like that, but not anymore.

692
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: I've learned my lesson. And then also la boo boos?

Speaker 1: from the stult.

767
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: And try and get a heritage bird try and get

768
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: a more local bird. So people don't realize this is

769
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 3: but the birds that they sell for Thanksgiving are actually

770
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: genetically modified to have be They're called like double broad

771
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: breasted birds. That's actually the double broad Yeah, it's that's

772
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 3: actually the like the technical name for the bird. I

773
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: thought that was the name of like a strip club

774
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: and those birds because people don't like dark meat, so

775
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 3: at some point, like the Turkey Manufacturing.

776
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: Association, so they like created a bird with double the breasts.

777
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's kind of that's kind of like

778
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: women in the nineties and the early two thousands is

Speaker 1: and the thin trend is back, the like heroin chic

784
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: trend is back.

785
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: Oh that was the Kate Moss trend from the early.

786
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: And then it went heroin chic to big boobs. So

787
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if the big big bopples are going.

788
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: To come back.

789
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be big boobs on men,

790
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: but not like men who are pretending to be women.

791
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: I just think, like general genuine men with like really

792
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 3: big boobs.

793
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: Okay okay.

794
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: So on that note, the chick the birds, like, if

795
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 3: you want the dark meat, now's the time to get

796
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: a good heritage bird.

797
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: I don't like the white.

798
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: Meat nobody likes.

799
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,400

00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 3: for heritage Like call up your local storm, like, do

Speaker 3: you have any heritage birds, because in many cases those

803
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 3: birds are not actually in high demand because people want

804
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: the double barrel breasted booby birds. So you're gonna be

805
