Speaker 1: So Dave Portnoy posted that he has forty five million
Speaker 1: points on annex. So I think of this guy as
Speaker 1: like a real business guy, Like he's a hustler, he's a.
Speaker 2: Money maker, he's an action guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he knows that it's like the
Speaker 1: third or fourth biggest currency. There's some stat about unused
Speaker 1: points being I think it's the third or the fourth
Speaker 1: biggest currency in the world. So he's literally just burning
Speaker 1: a currency. And I just can't imagine him not realizing that.
Speaker 1: And I invested in this company, point dot me that
Speaker 1: helps people use their points, and I the hotel that
Speaker 1: I'm in right now, in a hotel within my stay
Speaker 1: in Vancouver, meaning I'm in Vancouver to shoot a movie,
Speaker 1: but then I wanted to come back into the town
Speaker 1: of Vancouver, so I decided to stay at this hotel
Speaker 1: and I used.
Speaker 2: My chase points.
Speaker 1: Like points are a currency, and you could be a
Speaker 1: schmuck and you could buy stuff, yes at the drug
Speaker 1: store or a handbag, or use it for sacks or
Speaker 1: something like that, and that's the worst use of points.
Speaker 2: But why wouldn't you book hotels on it?
Speaker 1: Like you could get a massive suite for ten thousand
Speaker 1: a night on your points. I don't know how he
Speaker 1: doesn't use points or give them out for Christmas or
Speaker 1: for bonuses, or for take people on a spring break retreat,
Speaker 1: or send your employees on a spring break retreat, or
Speaker 1: just a company team building experience, like use your points.
Speaker 1: I my goal in life is to die without a
Speaker 1: store credit or a point. I want to die pointless.
Speaker 1: I want to have lived a point pointless life and
Speaker 1: die with no gift cards and no store credits. I
Speaker 1: have a print out of all my store credits and
Speaker 1: gift cards because it's insane. That's a multi billion dollar
Speaker 1: waste of money too. So for Dave Portno, he's always
Speaker 1: talking about like, oh, I want half a million dollars,
Speaker 1: you know, on this game, or I bet this, or
Speaker 1: I did that, or I spent this or I lost that.
Speaker 1: And his dog, Mispeaches, is literally.
Speaker 2: Chewing at his wallet.
Speaker 1: You see his dog eating his wallet, which is effectively
Speaker 1: what he's doing by not using his points. Your dog
Speaker 1: may as well just go eat all your points because
Speaker 1: they're worth forty five million points. You definitely, yeah, you could.
Speaker 1: You could go on a trip for five hundred thousand points.
Speaker 2: Easy.
Speaker 1: Easy, A really you could go on a trip for
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand points, so you know, lack of doing
Speaker 1: the exact math, that's like ten trips that he could do.
Speaker 1: So give each of the barstool and employees, your top
Speaker 1: performing employees, some of your points and send them on
Speaker 1: a trip. Give Brionn a Chicken fry a million points
Speaker 1: as a bonus.
Speaker 2: Let's say you were.
Speaker 1: Gonna give her the monetary equivalent of five hundred thousand points.
Speaker 2: Give her a million points.
Speaker 1: Give Josh Richards a million points to go with Gabriella
Speaker 1: on a trip. Point dot Meal book it for free.
Speaker 1: They book through points the best trips and get you
Speaker 1: the best deal. Like honestly, I'll do it myself.
Speaker 2: Don't tell me.
Speaker 1: Dave Pornoy doesn't have a visa and he's only using
Speaker 1: an AMEX because visa is what you're supposed to use
Speaker 1: when traveling, when dining, when staying at hotels. American Express
Speaker 1: is for luxury items. But you'll get the best ROI. Yes,
Speaker 1: he has American Express points. That's interesting. He has forty
Speaker 1: five million on American Express points, which means he uses
Speaker 1: his AMEX for everything. Because he's a hot stepper and
Speaker 1: he's probably just using his black car.
Speaker 2: But American Express should really only be used for.
Speaker 1: Luxury, like if you're buying an Arama's bags or if
Speaker 1: you're buying a watch, And even then still, Visa has
Speaker 1: amazing return policies now and covers your ass. But AMEX,
Speaker 1: while I do use it, and I am using my
Speaker 1: business card right now, and I don't know why I'm
Speaker 1: not using my visa on this trip. Visa is what
Speaker 1: you should be using for all your meals, all your travel,
Speaker 1: really all your expenditures, because the points are more valuable
Speaker 1: on Visa if you're redeeming points.
Speaker 2: So if Dave Portnoy's going to.
Speaker 1: Redeem his forty five million points, those all should be
Speaker 1: used on air travel. So I double down to say
Speaker 1: that he should give all those points to Breonna Chicken
Speaker 1: Fry and to Josh Richards and to other people that
Speaker 1: work with him. That guy who does all the yelling
Speaker 1: and he's always reporting on stuff that's crazy going on
Speaker 1: right now, and like yelling the updates and the news.
Speaker 1: Give them points on American Express to be used on
Speaker 1: first class tickets to go amazing places, and Visa points
Speaker 1: are great to be used on hotels. That's how I
Speaker 1: roll AMX points for air, Visa points for hotels, AMEX
Speaker 1: points if you will, for extreme luxury, use visa to
Speaker 1: charge everything else. But it's a currency, it's money. Dave
Speaker 1: Portnoy is wasting money. So if you don't want to
Speaker 1: use it yourself, give it away or do a contest.
Speaker 2: Do a giveaway. By the way, Dave is now raising.
Speaker 1: Money because of his dog mispeaches for a charity, and
Speaker 1: you can donate the points to them. You can donate
Speaker 1: the points to relief work. The best idea I've had yet,
Speaker 1: donate the forty five million points to be strong. Let's say,
Speaker 1: donate your points to people who are suffering. You know,
Speaker 1: you bought a dog, which is being celebrated, so that's great,
Speaker 1: But like, donate your points that you're just kind of
Speaker 1: laughing about and can't believe you have so many of
Speaker 1: to charity or to you know, the Josh Richards chicken
Speaker 1: fry or barstool people. But use your points people, And
Speaker 1: Dave is an extreme example, but I'm saying it to
Speaker 1: you guys too. Get organized about your points and how
Speaker 1: you spend them, and what credit cards you have, and
Speaker 1: how you operate on the day to day, because the
Speaker 1: money really does add up, and it could be a
Speaker 1: free vacation, or you could help someone else in need
Speaker 1: who wants to get out of a disaster torn place.
Speaker 1: So if Dave wants point out me to help them,
Speaker 1: spend those points in the most efficient way where you're
Speaker 1: not getting ripped off.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Two points change every single day like a currency. So
Speaker 1: funny points change every single day because one day to
Speaker 1: dollar's worth this in Canada, the next day is worth
Speaker 1: something different. Points are the same one day, you can
Speaker 1: book this hotel, and yes the hotel might be three
Speaker 1: hundred dollars today or four hundred tomorrow. But also the
Speaker 1: points currency changes too. Today you need x number of
Speaker 1: points to book that hotel. Tomorrow you you know, get
Speaker 1: double your value because they're giving you double your value
Speaker 1: for your points.
Speaker 2: So it is a currency. It is.
Speaker 1: Please double check my work and point me can confirm,
Speaker 1: but it is. I think the third largest currency in
Speaker 1: the world is points. So get educated because I think
Speaker 1: you're missing the point, and so is Dave Portnoy. I'm
Speaker 1: loving Alex Earl's boyfriend Braxton. He's so cute. He actually
Speaker 1: does look like a panda. They call it to I
Speaker 1: guess Panda. He looks like a sweet little bear. He's
Speaker 1: just along for the ride. He doesn't mind being her boyfriend,
Speaker 1: her sugar daddy, her intern.
Speaker 2: Like he's really secure.
Speaker 1: I guess if you're you grew up a football star
Speaker 1: and you're in the NFL, you're secure because you're cute
Speaker 1: and you're good looking and you're young and now you're
Speaker 1: dating you know, the ick girl, and it's adorable. Like
Speaker 1: he's just cute and they're just funny together, and like
Speaker 1: it was almost like the social media gods cast him,
Speaker 1: you know, like just put him in the role.
Speaker 2: They're very cute.
Speaker 1: My daughter Brinn likes them, which I like because like,
Speaker 1: that's a cute little boyfriend girlfriend. I don't remember what
Speaker 1: it was like to be that age and be in
Speaker 1: a relationship. It's just so funny because she's on social media,
Speaker 1: so she feels like, you know, it's not like I
Speaker 1: feel like she's my age, but she's someone that I could,
Speaker 1: you know, once in a while watch and be entertained by.
Speaker 1: It's not that relatable because she's like could obviously be
Speaker 1: my daughter, but uh, it's just funny to watch Brin
Speaker 1: watch and this cute little relationship. I mean, they're so young,
Speaker 1: I'm trying, well, not that young. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: I was married the first time at twenty six. But
Speaker 1: they're wild and they're just they're just they're just cute
Speaker 1: and fun and they're doing their own show and he's
Speaker 1: on the podcast all the time now, so they better
Speaker 1: get married because he's like in the.
Speaker 2: Program and that would be really cute.
Speaker 1: That's giving Jessica Simpson and Nicoloche, which is not a
Speaker 1: kind thing to say, and I don't mean it to
Speaker 1: be not kind, but weren't they super cute in the beginning,
Speaker 1: you know?
Speaker 2: Or were they not? I don't remember.
Speaker 1: Someone said they didn't like the way he spoke to
Speaker 1: her because he's too her adorable. I didn't mean to
Speaker 1: make that comparison in any negative fashion. I just mean
Speaker 1: I feel like Jessica and nick were like all American
Speaker 1: cutie pies together. And that show is way ahead of
Speaker 1: its time if you really think about it, like I
Speaker 1: wonder what that.
Speaker 2: I mean, who produced that? I'd love to watch?
Speaker 1: I mean, I really probably wouldn't butt it be fun
Speaker 1: to watch that again? If I tell you that the
Speaker 1: best piece of entertainment I've ever seen in my life
Speaker 1: is that jam session with classroom in instruments that Jimmy
Speaker 1: Fallon and Justin Timberlake do with a group of musicians,
Speaker 1: and the way that it's produced, the way that the
Speaker 1: social media post is produced. It cuts between different people
Speaker 1: doing the music, and then you'll have like they'll they'll
Speaker 1: they'll zero in on two people like Jimmy and Justin,
Speaker 1: and then they'll have like two people above them. Like
Speaker 1: it's all these different squares, like Hollywood squares, and it's insane.
Speaker 1: It is the sickest and it escalates, and Jimmy Fallon
Speaker 1: is so happy, like he loves being a musician, he
Speaker 1: loves entertaining.
Speaker 2: He really is like a variety show.
Speaker 1: And it's just unbelievable, Like it's just I honestly, I'm
Speaker 1: as impressed with Jimmy Fallon as I am with Justin Timberlake,
Speaker 1: which is a massive statement because Justin Timberlake is an
Speaker 1: incredible musician and I'm so happy for him because when
Speaker 1: he came over to TikTok, people were like trolling him.
Speaker 1: And sometimes you're like do something on stage and they'll
Speaker 1: like say like he's like Dad or something. They'll make
Speaker 1: fun of him. Guess what the fuck what? Justin Timberlake
Speaker 1: is a god. He always has been.
Speaker 2: He's that guy. He's so good.
Speaker 1: He is such a talented musician, like he dances, he acts,
Speaker 1: he sings. His voice is like so malefluous. And it's
Speaker 1: such a good album and I'm so happy and I'm
Speaker 1: like loved watching this. I just want I want to
Speaker 1: watch it all day. I was mesmerized. So if you
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, I don't know where else it is.
Speaker 1: Was it only on the show? Was it for social media?
Speaker 1: That would be psychotic. I can't imagine that that was
Speaker 1: the case, because but I can because I mean, millions
Speaker 1: of people will see it. But if it was on
Speaker 1: the show, then you know, And I'm an idiot and
Speaker 1: I'm late.
Speaker 2: I died.
Speaker 1: I just was scrolling through him like what in the hell,
Speaker 1: And it like elevates and gets to like a crescendo
Speaker 1: and it's so satisfying.
Speaker 2: It's just like a journey. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And I'm just so impressed with Jimmy into so like
Speaker 1: ten out of ten freaking out is Kale being canceled?
Speaker 1: So I knew Kale when it was a garnish at
Speaker 1: a diner next to a warm, sweaty orange slice, next
Speaker 1: to hot eggs, and I saw cale really get to
Speaker 1: the top. I saw cale go from a curly garnish
Speaker 1: to a chip.
Speaker 2: A Caesar salad.
Speaker 1: I saw cale getting deep tissue massages in massage kale moments.
Speaker 2: I saw crispy kale.
Speaker 1: I saw yes kale, Caesar's kale quene wa kale, butternut
Speaker 1: squash power kale. I've seen cale really move through the
Speaker 1: ranks of society, and I've seen it leave tired vegetables
Speaker 1: in its wake, like escarole and broccoli rob and I've
Speaker 1: seen it also bring up different types of nepo vegetables
Speaker 1: like cauliflower that also was just like a you know,
Speaker 1: a public service punishment like eating cauliflowers, like eating lima
Speaker 1: beans and Brussels sprouts too. Brussels sprouts also was good
Speaker 1: friends with kale and cauliflower, and they.
Speaker 2: Were in like a nerd group.
Speaker 1: And now they're like Kendall Jenner, Hayley Beeber and Selena
Speaker 1: Gomez like they're or Gigi Hadid.
Speaker 2: They are like celebrities, and.
Speaker 1: Kale fucked up because kale in some way is toxic
Speaker 1: they're saying, and I just feel like we're not seeing
Speaker 1: it as much. And you know, Quenwa was represented by
Speaker 1: the same publicist and agent and manager as Kale, and
Speaker 1: they've had a really nice moment, although it feels like
Speaker 1: it's slowing down a little. As the only protein grain,
Speaker 1: that was a really.
Speaker 2: Big, big moment.
Speaker 1: But like it's you know, Kale is like a it's
Speaker 1: Kale Dashian because kale was the most famous vegetable in
Speaker 1: the world for a moment, and now it's just taken
Speaker 1: a notch down. It's just older and it's not as relevant.
Speaker 1: It's rich, you know, it's rich like Kim, but like
Speaker 1: Kale is just not.
Speaker 2: It anymore.
Speaker 1: It's just taken a dive. So who will be the
Speaker 1: next Kale? I mean, who is Taylor Swift? In vegetable talk,
Speaker 1: they're trying to make beats come up. Celery has been
Speaker 1: having a moment. It's been really stretching to be something,
Speaker 1: but it's just not It doesn't have the diversity of Kale.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think like leaks could really come in. I just
Speaker 1: don't see Ridiculo ever being mainstream. I don't see and
Speaker 1: I've ever being mainstream I feel like mushrooms really had
Speaker 1: their moment, but they're a little like dirty and moldy sometimes,
Speaker 1: and people like they don't bathe correctly. They don't bathe
Speaker 1: they cannot be in water, so I just don't think
Speaker 1: they can be as famous. I feel like broccoli is
Speaker 1: just like classic carrots. People have tried to elevate carrots,
Speaker 1: but squash has had a.
Speaker 2: Real moment too.
Speaker 1: I myself have really pushed potatoes, like baked potatoes.
Speaker 2: As far as I can push them, you know.
Speaker 1: So as I sit here, I try to think about
Speaker 1: like Swiss chart is too niche. I think leaks, I
Speaker 1: just don't think. I think leaks could do it. Asparagus
Speaker 1: is not going to do it. It's tried so hard.
Speaker 1: Broccolini's like a cousin of broccoli rob and it's just
Speaker 1: not It's not gonna happen. It's just not gonna happen,
Speaker 1: And I'm really sorry. Like spinach is amazing, but like
Speaker 1: something interesting like bacchoi, which is also it had some
Speaker 1: would have to really figure out how to prepare really well.
Speaker 1: So like bacchoi, or like snow pee shoots, or like
Speaker 1: Chinese broccoli, it's gonna be something really niche, like white asparagus,
Speaker 1: layama beans. I just like liama beans could hit because
Speaker 1: they're like at a mamee. So I just feel like
Speaker 1: we need to figure out ahead of time, Like roo
Speaker 1: vegetables is not gonna be it. They're just too like
Speaker 1: starchy and they're kind of wintry. We need like a
Speaker 1: year round vegetable. So like I just want to forecast
Speaker 1: and like bet on the right vegetable. And I'm having
Speaker 1: a hard time thinking about what is. Maybe it's something
Speaker 1: I don't even know about. Like they have black kale,
Speaker 1: they have baby kale, they probably have like redcale. I
Speaker 1: don't know, they have different colors like purple broccoli not
Speaker 1: gonna happen.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe yellow beats Like that's good because it's like also
Speaker 1: serves a purpose.
Speaker 2: It's not staining your counter.
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna have to be a functional vegetable
Speaker 1: because people are really into health right now, and kale
Speaker 1: had to function in fiber and in like probably vitamin
Speaker 1: I think it's a or K, So think on it please.
Speaker 1: You know, fruits too, Pomegranates had a moment Asie had
Speaker 1: a moment at my Vegetable Representation agency. Maybe I'll take
Speaker 1: on some fruits I don't know. And then there are
Speaker 1: some fruits that are thought to be vegetables, I mean tomatoes.
Speaker 2: A fruit's confusing to people.
Speaker 1: So in in fruits, the small tomatoes, the like sugar
Speaker 1: bombs that are doing really well. But I don't know
Speaker 1: who the hottest client is right now. I feel like
Speaker 1: we're in a lull in between clients. That's why it's
Speaker 1: a great time for summer to come up. It's I
Speaker 1: don't know why. I just oh, art to chokes. They're
Speaker 1: very expensive to get the heart there, you know, but artichokes,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be an arto choke shortage.
Speaker 2: At some point.
Speaker 1: Avocados fucking came in like a wildfire.
Speaker 2: How did I not mention avocados? Holy fuck? They like
Speaker 2: move the market, like the.
Speaker 1: Avocado industry like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: They can't keep up with the demands. Same with the kale.
Speaker 1: So we got to really think about where they can
Speaker 1: really mass produce vegetables, like how that can happen. Corn's
Speaker 1: been doing nicely, but you can't just compare like we need.
Speaker 1: You know, sprouts are too finicky, they get too moldy.
Speaker 2: There's too many issues like thing because the thing about it.
Speaker 1: Was kale was cheap, Like it's got to be a durable,
Speaker 1: cheap vegetable like kale. Also like lasts, like you could
Speaker 1: have a kale salad in your fridge for a while.
Speaker 2: You can't have like a spinach.
Speaker 1: Salad already dressed, or like a rougolo or romaine or
Speaker 1: which has or iceberg which has really not a lot
Speaker 1: of nutritional value, butter lettuce that wilt's like kale fucking
Speaker 1: held up.
Speaker 2: Kale's strong.
Speaker 1: It can handle bad press too, so it can handle pressure.
Speaker 1: It can handle like deep deep, deep deep massage and
Speaker 1: things like that. So let's just think about hearts of palm.
Speaker 1: I've been eating hearts a pond for years and that's
Speaker 1: having a moment. But it's a it's a pickled vegetable.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that really counts cucumbers, you know
Speaker 1: they're doing fairly well. I feel like for a vetcheable,
Speaker 1: what it's been around a long time. Like we haven't
Speaker 1: seen squash and zucchini really have their moment, while we
Speaker 1: saw zoodles that was a moment like spiralizing, and same
Speaker 1: thing with carrot and butternut squash, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's peaked egg plant.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it and then we'll get into like
Speaker 1: lagomes at some point really like you know, is it
Speaker 1: chickpeas as it beans?
Speaker 2: Is it? And we could get back into grains too.
Speaker 1: People haven't really exploited farrow and millet.
Speaker 2: Like farrow is spelt.
Speaker 1: I think there are three names for farrow, so that
Speaker 1: could do well because it has a Hollywood name too,
Speaker 1: there's like spelt and then is one more name like wheatberries.
Speaker 1: I think there are three names farrow, wheatberries, and spelt.
Speaker 1: So it has three names. So it's like Anthony Michael Hall.
Speaker 1: So who knows a lot to discuss super important stuff peppers.
Speaker 1: There are many colors of peppers. Now. Onions are great,
Speaker 1: like maybe they're gonna be different, like I love a
Speaker 1: red onion.
Speaker 2: Herbs.
Speaker 1: We could do herbs one day. Like Cilantro has had
Speaker 1: a moment. When I was a kid, Cilantro was not
Speaker 1: famous at all. It was like a punishment. Cilantro was
Speaker 1: like very alien and soap like, and you know, Basil
Speaker 1: has had its moment.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 1: Parsley really Parsley is like a cousin of kale because
Speaker 1: parsley was also on the side of a plate as
Speaker 1: a garnish, and it's been take it more seriously, you know.
Speaker 1: Some Middle Eastern dishes include and Israeli dishes include parsley,
Speaker 1: which is really nice. And Italian dishes. It's Italian parsley.
Speaker 1: They're very, very snobby about it. But parsley also is
Speaker 1: like an herb. You'll see a parsley pesto. It's not
Speaker 1: that common. I'm not going to overstate it.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen the height of sun dried tomatoes, roasted peppers,
Speaker 1: and a jar is really serious. Olives, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know if we've seen their height. They probably are
Speaker 1: in some different group because they have they have a sea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have like a seed inside, so they're probably known
Speaker 1: as something different.
Speaker 2: I'm not good at that, like I might be.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I don't know all the terminology and
Speaker 1: the language. I'm just educating myself, like I don't want to.
Speaker 1: You know, and olive may identify as a vegetable, but
Speaker 1: it's not a vegetable. A tomato may identify as a
Speaker 1: vegetable because it's always playing with vegetables, but it's not
Speaker 1: a vegetable. Like, there are a lot of different terms
Speaker 1: that I don't know yet, and we're all gonna get educated,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to get canceled for calling a
Speaker 1: tomato vegetable or an olive a vegetable.
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting.
Speaker 1: I feel like a palm is different too, Like people
Speaker 1: forget that a pickle really originally was a cucumber, and
Speaker 1: you should not call a pickle ever a cucumber.
Speaker 2: A pickle is a pickle.
Speaker 1: It has transitioned into being a pickle, and it should
Speaker 1: never be identified as a cucumber, even though that's what
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: Similarly, a grape, a.
Speaker 1: Grape is a grape, and a raisin I really believe
Speaker 1: used to be a grape.
Speaker 2: I think that's what I heard it when I was
Speaker 2: a kid. I think that's true.
Speaker 1: I've never really believed it because it's so different, But
Speaker 1: I think a grape was I think a raisin was
Speaker 1: a grape, and I really do think that a pickle
Speaker 1: was a cucumber. So it's hard to see things in
Speaker 1: a different light, but we have to be sensitive, So sorry,
Speaker 1: not sorry,
