Speaker 1: me tell you more about Apple Life. For one thing,
Speaker 1: it's very versatile on the goat you can use it.
Speaker 1: Got a sweet tooth, You can make it in a pie,
Speaker 1: got no teeth. It could be purade into a sauce
Speaker 1: Apple Life juice, Apple Life pie, Apple Life sauce. Johnny,
Speaker 1: are you just talking about apples terrific? Where would you
Speaker 1: get that idea? What's an Apple Life product look like? Johnny? Well,
Speaker 1: it's kind of in a roundish shape. It's a red
Speaker 1: black alert sometimes green like Okay, you got me. Of
Speaker 1: course it's apples. I love apples. They're a poem you
Speaker 1: can eat. But my understanding is me and the apples
Speaker 1: needed what it's called a rebranding to stay relevant. Uh.
Speaker 1: People don't plant orchards anymore. And nowadays, if a shoeless
Speaker 1: guy with a tin pan for a hat walks up
Speaker 1: to someone's house, they don't welcome you to sleep inside. There,
Speaker 1: hollowed out stump. You just stare at you through one
Speaker 1: of their many, many windows. Oh no, that is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: The apple is timeless. What's a healthy yet delicious snack
Speaker 1: for your lunchbox? The apple. What is a wonderful fruit
Speaker 1: to take a big bite of while sitting under a
Speaker 1: tree on a crisp autumn day? The apple? And what
Speaker 1: do you chop up and put on a plate when
Speaker 1: you have unexpected visitors? The apple? That's right, Johnny. And
Speaker 1: how about you. You're a legend. You planted trees and pencilvana, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Speaker 1: and you did it all on foot. I don't even
Speaker 1: like walking from the house to the car, if I'm
Speaker 1: being honest, unless it spits on up the airport. I
Speaker 1: hear that. I suppose that is pretty cool. Oh jeez,
Speaker 1: you're making me think about why I started planning apples
Speaker 1: in the first place. It wasn't about brandy. It was
Speaker 1: all about the fruit in those days. I can't be
Speaker 1: someone I'm not. It's time to throw off this suit
Speaker 1: and kick off these shoes. That's more like it. Did
Speaker 1: you folks know I used to be so about that apple.
Speaker 1: I was apple, I mean, able to sell what kind
Speaker 1: of apples? Someone was biting into just by hearing it, Johnny,
Speaker 1: I bet you still got it, if only we had
Speaker 1: a way to prove it, like if you had a
Speaker 1: bunch of different apples and some willing apple eaters. Minute.
Speaker 1: Hold up, Elliot's got that hatching a plan look in
Speaker 1: his eye. I am hatching a plan, B and I'll
Speaker 1: tell you all about it right after this break, Eric,
Speaker 1: play us some hatching a plan music. Please, we are

Speaker 1: By the second two I was sure it was Santiago Lightning. Well,
Speaker 1: but now I'm I'm I'm listening more. My gut is
Speaker 1: torn between Bashful Afternoon and everyone's favorite, the jelly bean hotcake.
Speaker 1: I just can't figure out that apple. Ah, you can't
Speaker 1: figure out which apple it was because it wasn't an
Speaker 1: apple at all. That's right. I've been into a pumbed
Speaker 1: to tear or apple of the earth as they say
Speaker 1: all France. That means in French got a brother, but
