I'm sure people are wondering 188 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: what does this have to do with coffee at all? 189 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: Just something we discovered we all had in common last 190 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: time when when Derek had his his a Latin mug. So, uh, 191 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: we can get onto some coffee news now. 192 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 4: If you need yeah, feel me. 193 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, first bit of coffee news is a question 194 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: are the creamers? Okay, this is what I need to know. 195 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: Are the creamers? Okay? Paris Hilton released a trio of 196 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: coffee creamers and I tried them all. When I think 197 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: of Paris Hilton, I think of coffee creamers, naturally. No, 198 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: we've talked about these brand collabs that make no sense. 199 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: Remember the white Lotus Pina Colada coffee creamer still haunts 200 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: my nightmares? Yeah, yeah, because it's a flavor that should 201 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: not exist as a coffee creamer. It has nothing to 202 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: do with anything. It was just a brand tie in. Well, 203 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: these are buzzar. Okay, nothing against Paris Hilton, get that 204 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: bad girl, But these are bizarre and I can't wait 205 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: to not try these. But the author of this piece did. 206 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: The first one is raspberry champagne or creamer. 207 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: Oh, it's all so bad. It's so bad. 208 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: It is so bad. She says. This creamer is unbelievably sweet, 209 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: even by coffee creamer standards. Yes, I can understand that, guys. 210 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: The next flavor the sweet and spicy. There is a 211 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: picture of a jalapino on the bottle. 212 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 2: Who oh no, what ya? No? 213 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: Why is right? She says? This creamer blew my mind. 214 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: It tastes you guessed it both spicy and sweet, but 215 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: perfectly balanced. The spicy kick here reminded me of the crisp, 216 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: earthy bite that you get with cinnamon, but it didn't 217 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: taste like cinnamon. It did remind me of a red 218 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: hot or fireball whiskey. 219 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 4: Though. 220 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 3: What it sounds like a good review, It doesn't. But 221 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: it doesn't sound good. 222 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: But she liked it. She liked it. Finally, Cotton Candy 223 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: cold photo. Yeah, she said it tastes like a dream. 224 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: I'll be stocking up on it during my next hosty 225 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: shoppers and paid. 226 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, well there's more. 227 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: There's another one I tried Coffee Mates. Harry Potter butter 228 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: beer Creamer. You guys, well the butter you guys, look 229 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: at that it's doing. 230 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 2: What is the audience they're trying to get the parashite 231 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: in particular, in particular what. 232 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: What I caught her butter beer creamer, which comes in 233 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: original and zero sugar. 234 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 2: What isn't that that's horrifying. 235 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: It's meant to bring that butterscotch caramel cream soda energy 236 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: to your everyday cup of Joe. That is how the 237 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: director of brand marketing puts it. With the launch of 238 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: our Harry Potter butter beer flavored creamers, we're inviting fans 239 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: of what to transform their daily brew into something truly enchanting. Sure, 240 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: that first sip of coffee in the morning can certainly 241 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: feel magical. But enchanting coffee with the flavors of butter beer, 242 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: now that's something truly special. This is horseshit. 243 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: Butter beer is a made up thing for a fictional 244 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: children's book. 245 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean, indeed enchanted coffee either in the theme park. 246 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: The butter beer that they sell is quite good. Has 247 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 3: nothing to do with coffee. It's I wouldn't I don't 248 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: think it would necessarily mix well. 249 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 2: With coffee, like ginger beer. 250 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,599 Speaker 4: No, it's like a soft drink, yeah. 251 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: Like a cream soda. 252 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah. 253 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: Here's my other question. Where is this? I went to 254 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: my grocery store in preparation for today looking for any 255 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: one of these creamers? Yeah, yeah, none of them in 256 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: my giant stop and chop. Yeah, in suburbia, which is 257 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: where I imagined you'd find these. 258 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 4: Right, not one? 259 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: Not one? Where do they exist? 260 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 4: Interesting? 261 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? 262 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 4: Online? Yes? 263 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: And if anyone has tried any of these, I want 264 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: to hear from you. I want to hear from you, 265 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: and I want to know why you want this. No, judgment. 266 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: That's not true, lots of judgment, but I do want. 267 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: To undertand judgment. 268 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want understanding. To that end. I did purchase, 269 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: which is definitely a departure for me. Chobanni's hazelnut creamer. Okay, okay, okay, 270 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: it's excellent. 271 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not nice. 272 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: That sounds okay, Gamani at least you know. I guess 273 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 2: they all are brands that make real food. But hazel 274 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: nuts normal flavor. 275 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, but hazelnut goes with coffee. This seeks total sense. 276 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: It's not a brand tie in like a wicked coffee. 277 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: I don't need it, you know, to be green or 278 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: pink or whatever. But uh no, the Chobani hazel nuts good. 279 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: But I just need to know who this is for. 280 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: Why do you want your coffee to not taste like coffe? 281 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: Right? 282 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: Coffee is the best flavor, delicious.

Yeah, this is. 351 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 2: And coffee out of curiosity? Are you using bottled water 352 00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: for that coffee? 353 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: Or you know they're not? 354 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 4: You know they're not. 355 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: Why not? It's not like it's coming out of their paycheck. 356 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it, and it feels like it might 357 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: even be more efficient. But I don't, I don't. 358 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: I don't feel like that's so hard I can't believe 359 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 2: they don't even recommend washing your hands. Oh my god. 360 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 2: It's worse, I know, worse than I would have thought. 361 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: So I know, it's kind of life changing. 362 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 4: Can they just like clean the equipment better? Like, what 363 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 4: the what is what is the fail point here? 364 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if just so much of it gets 365 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: recycled through the same pipes and through the same filtration system. 366 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's not they don't have like a water plant, 367 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,959 Speaker 1: you know, back there. I'm sure it's just I don't know. 368 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 2: I don't know, just happy to be safe in the air. 369 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 2: They're like, forget the water. 370 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: I know, but it was it was a bummer. It 371 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: was a big bummer. Okay, onto some better news. Wow, 372 00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: French French distillery just dropped the first totally clear coffee liqueur. Okay. 373 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,719 Speaker 1: The company is called Brunette m C Ironic yep, and 374 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: it is a totally clear coffee liquor. This says when 375 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: you think of spirits made in France, cognac is probably 376 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: the first thing that comes to mind. But now a 377 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: Bordeaux distillery is launched what it is calling the very 378 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: first clear coffee liqueur. Again it's Bordeaux distilling company. It's 379 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: transparent and one hundred percent organic, and it uses waste 380 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: products left over from coffee production. So coffee blossom and 381 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: cascara the husks of coffee cherries. They are separately macerated 382 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: in a neutral grain based spirit made from wheat for 383 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: a total of two weeks. Then they're distilled at a 384 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: low temperature. They're blended with another spirit then to become 385 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: Brunette's Coffee Liqueur. And you can use it to make 386 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: cocktails like a colorless espresso martini. And it can also 387 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: be sipped or meat or over ice. 388 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 4: So how strong is the coffee flavor on this? 389 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: The official tasting note is pure essence of coffee wow 390 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: with floral and fruity notes, no bitterness or excessive sweetness. 391 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: I would for sure try that. Yeah, absolutely, It's only 392 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: available in France in the UK right now, so I'll 393 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: I'll have to wait, but I'll be able to look out. 394 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 3: Let's go to Europe for our next talking coffee and 395 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 3: do shots on the podcast perfect. 396 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 2: And not drink the coffee on the way over. 397 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: Yes, well, I'll get the Duncan plane. 398 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 4: Yes, I'll get the Jet. 399 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: Blue Dunkin plane, and then we can all have coffee? Okay, 400 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: here's a question. I'm not a Costco shopper because I 401 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: have generalized anxiety. 402 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 2: And that will cause you. Oh, the whole. 403 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: Experience is just anxiety for me. It's not a commentary 404 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 1: on Costco quality or anything like that. It is simply 405 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: too anxiety provoking for me. 406 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 2: See, I went in November and I was the passenger 407 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: and like just getting a parking spot in the book one, 408 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 2: and it was like a Thursday morning at eight am. Yeah, yeah, 409 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 2: And then you think you finally made it through the 410 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 2: gauntlet that is parking, and then you get inside and 411 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: realize it's just all the same. Everyone's got these giant 412 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 2: things and you're just like, yes, it was horrifying. 413 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: And there's no rhyme of reason to where anything is. 414 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: And the thing you saw last week is no longer there. Yes, 415 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: and the thing you want is and also they don't have. 416 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: It's just it's too many decision points, too chaotic, and 417 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: too much chaos and unknown. See, do you feel the 418 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: same way about Ikea and traded Joe's yes, yes and 419 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: yes okay because he traded. 420 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 4: Like a small version of that with that constantly change. 421 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: But also chaotic yeah, also also chaotic. I don't know 422 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: who is who is Jose what? What are the what 423 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: are these things? Yeah? The things that I know. It's 424 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: just not for me. So I don't know the answer 425 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: to this question. But apparently it's been on people's minds. 426 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: Who roasts Kirkland's coffee? People loving let me be specific, 427 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: people loved past tense Kirkland coffee. Okay, And actually people 428 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: didn't know this, but it was listed directly on the 429 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: bags until early twenty twenty four. Kirkland's coffee roaster was Starbucks. 430 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 1: Oh okay, so when you were buying Kirkland coffee at Costco, 431 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: you were getting Starbucks coffee. Now, maybe it was a 432 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: specific Starbucks blend for Costco, but it was Starbucks. But 433 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: then then the bags no longer display the Starbucks roasted badge, 434 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: and the internet is wondering what happened? Did a contract 435 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: with Starbucks end? Was there a falling out between the companies? 436 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: Have they picked another roaster. Customers first started noticing a 437 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: difference in twenty twenty four, along with packaging changes. Redditors 438 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: started reporting lower prices and significant flavor differences for the worse. 439 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: For the worse, new beans were said by many to 440 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: taste flavorless and burnt tastes like Starbucks, sparking theories about 441 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: what in the world happened to the warehouse's signature beans. 442 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: One redditor inquired about the change at their local Chicago 443 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: warehouse and were told that Starbucks did not renew its 444 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: contract with Costco and was no longer roasting its coffee. 445 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: The answer has remained a mystery ever since. 446 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: Hmmm, fascinating. Wow, this might be our true crime option. 447 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: Someone should go and find the answer. 448 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 4: Off. 449 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 2: The true crime has been off what happened. 450 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: To Kirkland's coffee roast? 451 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 4: People? 452 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: The people want to know, And by the people, I 453 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: mean not me, other people, other people who. 454 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 4: Go to Costco. 455 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: Okay, isn't even very busy. 456 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 2: I wonder if there were other fallouts, you know, like 457 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: I don't know other other companies that they're no longer 458 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 2: associating with. 459 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: And people feel very strongly about about Costco products, like 460 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: I have a neighbor friend who swears by their pies 461 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: and their hot dogs and they're rotisserie chickens. 462 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, or they're like socks and sweaters, like you. 463 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: Can get pants every once in a while.

I did 524 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: some research on this one. I found an article, and 525 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: then I wanted to find more. So I have three 526 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: articles supporting this supporting this one story. It starts with 527 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: woman labeled red flag after response to coffee. 528 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 2: Suggestion for first date goes viral. Okay, apparently the youngs. 529 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: Are having a big debate amongst themselves about what the 530 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: best first date is and whether a coffee date is 531 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: a good is a good one or a not not 532 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: a good one. Okay, that's the sort of the background here. 533 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: The text exchange that was shared between a woman and 534 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: a man goes like this, he said you around this week. 535 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: This is a text you around this week. Let's grab 536 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: a drink and hang out. She responds, we can grab 537 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: a bite to eat. I don't really drink free today 538 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: or friday? Can you FaceTime? Pause? Pause? Can you FaceTime? 539 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: As the biggest red flag to me? What can you FaceTime? 540 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: We haven't been on a date yet? Absolutely not. 541 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: But is she trying to confirm that it's not like 542 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 2: an AI bot or something. 543 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know the background they met. They met 544 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: on an app, and so maybe there's some part of that, 545 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: but that would be an immediate note for me. Anyway, 546 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: let's continue. So she says, we can grab a bite. 547 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't really drink free today or Friday? Can you FaceTime? 548 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: He responds, let's grab coffee and go for a walk. Then, 549 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: I don't do meals on the first date. She then says, 550 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: I don't do coffee on first dates. It was nice 551 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: to meet you. Good luck in your search. 552 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, everybody has their boundaries. 553 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: There is so much here. So the reaction has been 554 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:57,239 Speaker 1: to her, she's the red flag because she's really just 555 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: angling for a dinner and wants him to spend money 556 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: on a dinner for her. Okay, I don't. I mean 557 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if that's her motivation, but 558 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: I can imagine not wanting to do a dinner on 559 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: the first date like this, Like this guy says, I 560 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: totally get that, whether for financial reasons like I'm not 561 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: spending money on you until we've gotten to know each 562 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: other a little bit, or I don't want to be 563 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: stuck at a dinner with someone I just met. 564 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that. 565 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: And when he suggests coffee and go for walk, that 566 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: to me is like the ideal, Right, yeah, that sounds 567 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: perfect first date and you're in public, you know, like 568 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: it kind of checked all the boxes for me. I 569 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: would say yes to that immediately, And instead she says, 570 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: I don't do coffee on first dates. Why. 571 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw this going around. Yeah, and I when 572 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 3: I saw it, I was sort of put off by. 573 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 3: Like there were a lot of bros in the comments 574 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: being like, yeah, like, I'm not gonna spend money in 575 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 3: the like you said, I'm not gonna spend money on 576 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 3: these women. These women are leeching off of it, like 577 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 3: there was something. 578 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: Kind of thing about them that people feel Yeah, yeah, yeah, 579 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: And again, I don't know. I'm not in the dating 580 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: circuit and I'm not young, and I'm not on apps, 581 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: and I don't I don't know how they're negotiating and 582 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: navigating all of that. I can understand that this might 583 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: be a thing for guys like yeah, you know, are 584 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: you just trying to get me to take you know, 585 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: spend spend money on a dinner on you? But also like, well, yeah, 586 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: maybe I am. Yeah, that has been part of the motivation. 587 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: Are you gonna? Are you gonna court me? Are you gonna? 588 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: But really I cannot understand the aversion to a coffee date. 589 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you, it sounds great, I have more. 590 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe maybe she's just not a like a 591 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 2: caffeinated coffee drinker and hasn't come to terms with her she's. 592 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,959 Speaker 1: Also not a drinker, and what I mean, she's really 593 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: trying to like pigeonhole this guy into a dinner. Yeah, 594 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: and all of these boundaries mean these people are not 595 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: going on a date, and I guess good to know before, 596 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: but it feels very much like both people are actively 597 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: trying not to date. 598 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 599 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that could be true. I mean there's something 600 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 3: going on, right, Yeah. We keep hearing about this. 601 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: Someone said coffee in a walk feels safe. Like what Yeah, 602 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: someone else says, in my opinion, coffee is the perfect 603 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: first date because you can choose to extend it however 604 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: long you want. But if you don't vibe, you're only 605 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: locked into that interaction for like ten to fifteen minutes 606 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: if you want. Yeah, okay, second supporting research Okay, yes. 607 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: New York woman plans to meet Hinge match. Then she 608 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: learns never to say yes to coffee dates. Okay, here's 609 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: her reason. Woman shows up for her long awaited coffee 610 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: date even though he chose a chain cafe a full 611 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: forty minutes from her apartment, not a chain. But I 612 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: was like, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, 613 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: Like maybe men don't look for cute coffee shops. 614 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 2: Men. 615 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: This isn't my world, Fianna says. She arrives at the 616 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: coffee shop. I need to realize her date was already 617 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: drinking his own coffee. They get the pleasantries out of 618 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: the way, they sit down. Ten minutes in, he says, 619 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: why don't you go ahead and get yourself a right. 620 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: She said, it was terrible. I just wanted to come 621 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: home and cry, like I spent all of my freaking 622 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: Sunday getting ready for this, getting myself to feel good 623 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: about it, and it was terrible. And she says, I 624 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: think it means he was married. The coffee date means 625 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: he's married. Is when a lot of women are now saying, 626 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: which feels insane to me. But maybe they don't want 627 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: to commit. They don't want to be seen out in public. 628 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: They can be seen at a coffee shop, but not 629 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: a restaurant. How could you code all of this? Some 630 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: viewers speculate what else could be playing a hand here. 631 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: One viewer says, coffee date forty minutes away means he's married. 632 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: Another viewer shares a different perspective, It was probably a 633 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: five minute drive for him as well. I don't know 634 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: how this is navigated by people, because it seems to 635 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: be so much decoding in all of this. Yeah, in 636 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: the location, in the suggestion, in the date planning. 637 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 2: Do we need to approach everything in these like swaths? 638 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 2: Like each experience can be its own shitty, admittedly shitty experience, 639 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 2: but it doesn't mean le coffee dates entirely are off 640 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 2: the table. 641 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you get, like, go do laundry together? 642 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: What are other options are there? 643 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 4: Exactly, totally, totally no. 644 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, coffee is such a like simple, straightforward, safe thing 645 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 3: to do. 646 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty five percent of American singles are opting for 647 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: coffee dates. 648 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 4: Yeah. 649 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: I think that's the right answer. I think that's the 650 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: right balance. I mean I used to go on dinner 651 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: dates all the time, but if a coffee date was suggested, 652 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: I would take it. Sure, great less commitment to really, Yeah, 653 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: but I liked, you know, having to sit down and 654 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: have a longer conversation with someone and you learn a 655 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: lot about a person.
