WEBVTT - It's 100 Degrees, Let's Get A Christmas Tree

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.719
<v Speaker 1>It's one hundred degrees outside. Let's go get our Christmas tree.

0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>It's one more thing. I'm strong and getty. One more thing. Waw.

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.639
<v Speaker 1>It's a texting related conversation. We'll get to them a

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but first, some hilarity I'm hoping from Jimmy

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Fallon on the Tonight Show last night. Well, guys, we're

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>heading into flu season. But great news.

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 2>The FDA just authorized the first over the counter combination

0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 2>COVID nineteen and flu test.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this test really does it all. Check out this commercial.

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 3>The FDA's new combination COVID test is quick, reliable, and

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 3>easy to use. Simply collect your sample, drop it onto

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 3>the test strip, wait thirty minutes, and view year results.

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 3>The first line is the control line. A second line

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 3>means you have COVID. A third line means you have

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 3>the flu. Four lines means common cold, five lines means scurvy,

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Six lines congress you're pregnant. Seven lines means you're not pregnant,

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 3>you just ate a big lunch. Eight lines means your

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 3>crush likes you back. Nine lines means you're such a

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 3>scorpioes means your friend Gary wants you to text him back.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Text Gary back and no lines means you're dead.

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 3>The new COVID and Crew tests now available at CBS

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 3>in our pre easter aisle.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>That was amazing. They're pre easter asle. The way they

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>do that at those big convenience stores. Oh my god,

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>just overwhelming amounts of whatever the next holiday is going

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to be, right.

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, it's a seasonal aisles.

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I was amazed by the things you can or can't

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>find at like a CBS or a Walgreens. I'm often

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>shocked that, wow, they have this, and often shocked that

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>they don't have this. Yeah, you know, like I need

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>some automotive to something or other, and they have that

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>than some other normal household thing I think, and they

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:46.839
<v Speaker 1>don't carry that for some reason.

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm still lunged away by how early Christmas stuff starts

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 4>popping up each year.

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like creeping in closer to the summer. Yeah. That

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>that has been a point of humor, like my whole

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>adult life. But it's reached so much absurdity now that

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't even it's practically year round. Yeah. Costco especially,

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>and I often think that, you know, they're a for

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>profit business and very smart, and they've got a tremendous

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>amount of data. I assume they wouldn't put the Halloween

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>stuff in there as soon as they take out the

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>fourth of July stuff unless it works somehow.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh sure, right, Yeah, they have a certain amount of

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 2>floor space and they've done the data analysis. It's like

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 2>CBS or Walgreens or whatever with the season allisles. It's

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>just nobody goes there. Nobody goes shopping there to buy

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Halloween decorations. But you see something the cute as an

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>impulse buy, they must make it work and you.

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 1>Get your combination COVID flu test and head on home.

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 4>A lot of companies now do the Christmas in July thing,

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 4>Christmas in July sales. I don't know why that irritates

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 4>me so much.

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean?

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 4>They start selling Christmas products in July. It's just like

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 4>Black Friday in July. It's that's their thing. It's hey,

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 4>it's Christmas in July, and they just think it's the

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 4>greatest thing.

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why it annoys you in particular, Katie,

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 2>but you're an old soul. I just what what occurred

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>to me when I was raising my kids? And this

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 2>is such a weird example, but it works for me.

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>We used to in my generation wait all year for

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 2>the Christmas specials, the kids Christmas specials, Charlie Brown, Christmas Rudolph,

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>you know the rest of them. Yeah, Frosty, the dialed

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 2>back Snowman.

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm Frosty, I Q.

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 2>You're what was the one with the heat Miser? And uh,

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, it doesn't matter.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh, but we used to Weiser the Abominable Snowman. Was

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>it its own thing?

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 2>No, but of course the Grinch and uh and and

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, the heat Miser and like the Winter Warlock,

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Santa Claus is coming to town, I think right any

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>that had the hot puppet chick in it his love interest.

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Whoo man, they spent some time on her wood. They

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>carved it up right anyway, stop action sexy, That's what

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I say.

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>Where were we he is talking about a puppet? Folks,

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>here we go.

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh but we'd wait all year for that, and then

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 2>it would be a very special thing. And then when

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 2>my kids were little, we just bought the VHS tapes

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 2>and everything is available all the time, and the concept

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.919
<v Speaker 2>of the rhythms of the year unfolding just it's gone away.

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Now it's everything all the time, which I think is

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 2>part of the reason people are so crazy.

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's the everything bagel for anybody who's seen the

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>movie that won the all the Oscars, everything everywhere, all

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 1>at once, m everything bagel. Yeah, I know. And I

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>can't tell if it's important or not. I really can't.

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I know I preferred one or the other, but I

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's just a tiny, niche example of

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>something that changed for the worst but it doesn't have

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>any overall meeting, or if it says you say, it's

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>just all of life has become that. I don't know.

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 1>It's the second one.

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 2>And here's my evidence as usual, and maybe this is

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 2>backward reasoning. I don't know. But human beings for millions

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:37.599
<v Speaker 2>of years saw life unfold in a certain rhythm. We're

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 2>made for that. We're not made to be shopping for

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 2>parkas in June or throwing on an extra zebra fer

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 2>or whatever we have been. We have been, you know,

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>part of the turning of the seasons since mankind crawled

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>out of the primority you lose or evolved from the

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 2>minky or whatever your particular view of of early man is.

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 2>It's all about the rhythm of the year unfolding it

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 2>now not anymore.

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>It's why we're so cuckoo. You couldn't go to the

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>village elders and say, let's do the harvest dance. It's

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>not harvest danced. There were six months away from the

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>harvest time.

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it.

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Why do we have to wait six months through the

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>harvest dance. Let's do it. It's a great dance.

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 2>And with the way you shake your leg and then

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>you shake your leg. No, no, no, it's not harvest.

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Get back in your hunt or whatever right you have.

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>It's enough. Are you a very complicated view of evolution

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>or something? I don't know what it is.

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 2>Or don't you have a mammoth tusk to polish or

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>something else? I don't know a lot about prehistoric men.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I think you need to reread Sapiens perhaps out all right,

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>don't you have an arrowhead to craft?

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>You're on the arrowhead committee. Get to get to sharpen

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 2>or them with your with your stone axe.

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>M I agree?

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 4>Coming soon the Labor Days sale in February. Yeah, well,

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 4>I guess that's it.
