00:00.131 --> 00:02.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Mera, Radio Entertainment.

00:04.522 --> 00:07.790
[SPEAKER_00]: None theme music because this is TMOS Extra.

00:08.191 --> 00:09.834
[SPEAKER_00]: I am Rob Spuack, along with.

00:11.040 --> 00:14.083
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh Soraka, no my good today, no, none, Mike.

00:14.123 --> 00:16.485
[SPEAKER_00]: He had the option to join us and he'd declined.

00:16.545 --> 00:16.945
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

00:16.985 --> 00:18.687
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a little late to the party.

00:18.707 --> 00:25.833
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, if I told you what I was doing, you'd probably shake your head or you'd just accept the fact that I am me.

00:27.234 --> 00:28.095
[SPEAKER_01]: You made a mistake.

00:28.315 --> 00:29.916
[SPEAKER_01]: You made a mistake post in the show today.

00:30.537 --> 00:33.660
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not as bad as the mistake I made post in the show yesterday.

00:34.442 --> 00:36.444
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you make mistake yesterday?

00:37.004 --> 00:41.347
[SPEAKER_01]: I did something in audition where I shifted everything except my own voice.

00:42.028 --> 00:42.908
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.

00:43.209 --> 00:46.031
[SPEAKER_01]: So I got a message from someone, do they not hear you?

00:47.587 --> 00:48.047
[SPEAKER_00]: I've done it.

00:48.468 --> 00:48.828
[SPEAKER_01]: I've done it.

00:48.888 --> 01:07.958
[SPEAKER_01]: And trust me if there are mistakes to be made I've done it took me about 10 minutes and then I got to show down got it back up and thankfully It did not get like I got it fixed in time that I did not get the flow flood of emails That's that's very important that is because they will they will hit you like a cast Even water that's enough that Mike didn't find out

01:08.238 --> 01:10.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Also great and he won't listen to this so we're fine.

01:10.521 --> 01:12.704
[SPEAKER_00]: But I wasn't referring to my grievous error.

01:12.804 --> 01:15.528
[SPEAKER_00]: I was referring to something I was doing for pleasure, which is okay.

01:15.588 --> 01:17.851
[SPEAKER_00]: I got my ice cream from Ben and Jerry's today.

01:17.871 --> 01:23.459
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I That's that's something you gotta get you gotta get in the freezer before it melts

01:23.719 --> 01:30.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, well mine was great because I'm in DC it's practically freezing outside now So it's not real cold, but it was fun.

01:30.840 --> 01:43.603
[SPEAKER_00]: It was rock solid, but as you know ice cream is shipped with dry ice pellets Yes, so I had to go outside and pour hot water on them to make fog and then I started thinking about This is a huge box.

01:43.623 --> 01:51.925
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got to get rid of this and it's trash day and the trash man haven't come But then I carried a box out to my trash But look like it was on fire

01:53.645 --> 01:56.626
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you pour the hot water, it makes you smoke.

01:56.987 --> 02:05.050
[SPEAKER_00]: And I really did, I looked like I was going to some sort of sacrifice with a big 18-inch square box cube with smoke just pouring out of it.

02:05.390 --> 02:06.431
[SPEAKER_00]: So I dumped it in the street.

02:06.531 --> 02:07.091
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll go away.

02:07.131 --> 02:08.052
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just carbon dioxide.

02:08.152 --> 02:12.134
[SPEAKER_01]: So I know it's still a month until we're supposed to talk about these Ben and Jerry things.

02:12.214 --> 02:16.355
[SPEAKER_01]: But I saw the announcement yesterday that it's four new Sunday flavors.

02:16.475 --> 02:17.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that what's in the box?

02:17.716 --> 02:24.579
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, including one that I am really excited about, my favorite ice cream probably all around.

02:24.599 --> 02:26.760
[SPEAKER_01]: They are not yesterday, so I'm sure we can talk about them.

02:26.880 --> 02:27.301
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

02:27.781 --> 02:41.107
[SPEAKER_00]: If I had to pick like one generic ice cream parlor flavor now, if my go-to is cherry Garcia, but they've launched a Ben and Jerry's strawberry ice cream and I love strawberry ice cream.

02:41.367 --> 02:42.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Strawberry ice cream is my favorite as well.

02:43.208 --> 02:43.831
[SPEAKER_01]: No way!

02:44.092 --> 02:44.734
[SPEAKER_01]: That's great!

02:44.975 --> 02:48.850
[SPEAKER_01]: My favorite Ben and Jerry is, well, second favorite is the strawberry cheesecake.

02:49.341 --> 02:49.641
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.

02:49.721 --> 02:51.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, they're all great.

02:51.543 --> 02:51.763
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

02:52.163 --> 03:04.972
[SPEAKER_00]: But I remember when I was working, I had a reputation in a previous life of being sort of the old man around kids and like they didn't believe that I had seen like a fallout boy in concert.

03:05.012 --> 03:05.933
[SPEAKER_00]: They said, you're too old.

03:06.033 --> 03:06.913
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, I have a daughter.

03:06.973 --> 03:07.534
[SPEAKER_00]: I can do that.

03:07.614 --> 03:13.098
[SPEAKER_00]: So I had the reputation of being an old man and they said, what's your favorite Ben and Jerry's flavor?

03:13.738 --> 03:18.959
[SPEAKER_00]: And I told them with pride, Cherry Garcia, and they said, they said, they said, it's an old man's life.

03:19.079 --> 03:19.299
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.

03:19.339 --> 03:22.300
[SPEAKER_01]: Totally totally an old man's life.

03:23.160 --> 03:26.281
[SPEAKER_00]: At least I played into there to do suspicions.

03:26.301 --> 03:27.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you ever do chunky monkey?

03:28.562 --> 03:34.663
[SPEAKER_01]: On occasion, my go-to is peanut butter world, but that's a target exclusive.

03:34.683 --> 03:38.304
[SPEAKER_01]: So I try to remember when I'm at target the grab a pint.

03:38.604 --> 03:39.765
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that's a good point.

03:40.286 --> 03:48.174
[SPEAKER_00]: I find that every flavor is great, but I also find that different stores have really bad ice cream organizational skills.

03:48.875 --> 03:56.342
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if you're looking at all the pints, they don't match up on their their tags and they're out of some, sometimes it's very it seems to me.

03:57.203 --> 04:01.148
[SPEAKER_00]: not a slam on Ben and Jerry's, but it's sort of catches catch can at the grocery store.

04:01.168 --> 04:04.172
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they should focus more on helping out the ice cream eater.

04:04.593 --> 04:09.599
[SPEAKER_01]: My wife got mad at me last week, because she requested a specific kind of ice cream.

04:10.300 --> 04:15.306
[SPEAKER_01]: And I grabbed that kind of ice cream out of the freezer and I put it in my cart, but when I got home, it was the wrong flavor.

04:16.007 --> 04:27.330
[SPEAKER_01]: how did that happen all I can figure is the freezer was disorganized and I saw a stack of the whatever chocolate so I grabbed it one out of the stack and that one in the stack was not the right flavor.

04:27.750 --> 04:29.091
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think you're gaslighting her.

04:29.231 --> 04:31.271
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're trying to chop her crazy.

04:31.912 --> 04:36.553
[SPEAKER_01]: That or I'm on some type of prank youtube show and someone switched the ice cream in my car.

04:37.665 --> 04:40.887
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, you know, I spent a lot of time in grocery stores.

04:40.907 --> 04:43.329
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what, that was my job during the college.

04:43.790 --> 04:54.558
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and my mom, as a lifetime, safeway lady, who she was the front end manager, and she got bought out by the company because she was a union employee.

04:55.038 --> 04:57.160
[SPEAKER_00]: So, she got a nice fat check to quit.

04:57.760 --> 04:59.401
[SPEAKER_00]: I missed out on a union,

05:00.162 --> 05:04.785
[SPEAKER_00]: by like, I think it was like, seriously three months and I was going to quit anyway.

05:05.185 --> 05:06.466
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how I missed my money.

05:06.966 --> 05:09.908
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, so I love grocery stores.

05:10.529 --> 05:12.830
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would love to do that.

05:13.191 --> 05:14.972
[SPEAKER_00]: And it would have to just be a subtle change.

05:15.252 --> 05:15.472
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

05:15.672 --> 05:17.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, like, you know, a clean flavor.

05:17.693 --> 05:22.096
[SPEAKER_00]: A nice cream flavor or like a a different size box of cereal of the same cereal.

05:22.397 --> 05:22.577
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

05:22.677 --> 05:25.198
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's such a subtle change that there's no payoff.

05:25.398 --> 05:27.360
[SPEAKER_01]: The person does not discover it till they get home.

05:27.898 --> 05:29.543
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's why you have to have a camera at their house.

05:29.583 --> 05:34.738
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I like these subtle, I like these subtle move of dropping like a box of condoms and someone's cart.

05:35.934 --> 05:39.877
[SPEAKER_01]: because they won't recognize that until they're loaded up the conveyor belt.

05:40.037 --> 05:41.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're right.

05:41.338 --> 05:45.681
[SPEAKER_00]: I used my shift when I was in Richmond when I was working at Safeway was horrible.

05:45.761 --> 05:51.545
[SPEAKER_00]: It was four to close, four PM to closing, which was midnight and then a half hour to clean stuff up.

05:52.345 --> 05:58.810
[SPEAKER_00]: And I had an older, not old, but an older couple comes through my line and all they had was condoms and whipped cream.

05:59.590 --> 06:00.611
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just said, big night.

06:02.672 --> 06:14.600
[SPEAKER_00]: and the uh... management says don't comment on their groceries don't do that i got i also but there was something i know you almost have to the one thing that the management enjoyed is

06:16.451 --> 06:37.267
[SPEAKER_00]: when you're in a college town as Richmond was and this was the safe it's now the school of agriculture that's what they turn the safer but they they would do the end units and the college kids would shop during the day and then you wouldn't see them until like quarter to twelve because that's when you stop selling beer and there'd be a big rush but

06:37.767 --> 06:51.058
[SPEAKER_00]: Before that, I'd spend a lot of time just hanging out if the beer, I would work the beer case if the beer case was full, I'd just hung out in my checkstand waiting for someone to come in and I would get on the intercom and make announcements about specials to entertain myself.

06:51.718 --> 06:57.463
[SPEAKER_00]: And they actually liked that, but other than that, but we were talking about ice cream.

06:58.103 --> 06:59.585
[SPEAKER_00]: And I will use that to pivot.

07:00.085 --> 07:19.713
[SPEAKER_00]: because one of the problems I have with a certain box store is they don't have flavored ice cream Costco only sells vanilla ice cream now and then the novelty product the novelty products but that it is the best vanilla ice cream I think but it's very limited sometimes you want a chocolate or as we said strawberry

07:20.173 --> 07:28.156
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're here to talk and it was mentioned on today's show today being Wednesday the 29th that you may or may not be getting a birthday gift.

07:28.416 --> 07:28.637
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

07:29.177 --> 07:30.517
[SPEAKER_00]: That comes from Costco.

07:30.717 --> 07:33.239
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I was, you know what, I can do it right now.

07:33.339 --> 07:39.581
[SPEAKER_01]: I was supposed to check the app to see if they had the, had it that other Costco's in the area.

07:39.961 --> 07:43.903
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love to give you a hard time about the app, but I have the app as well.

07:44.083 --> 07:49.248
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I use the, I lost my Costco card, so I use the app to scan in when I go into the store.

07:49.328 --> 07:50.790
[SPEAKER_00]: How did you lose your Costco card?

07:51.110 --> 07:52.311
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, it's just somewhere here.

07:52.331 --> 07:56.195
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in a drawer, it's in the card, and you don't keep it in your wallet?

07:57.288 --> 07:58.269
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no.

07:58.369 --> 08:01.330
[SPEAKER_00]: It's always in the top three cards in my wallet.

08:01.370 --> 08:03.771
[SPEAKER_01]: My card, I keep two cards in my wallet.

08:03.851 --> 08:05.672
[SPEAKER_01]: I keep a debit card and a driver's license.

08:06.153 --> 08:06.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a credit card.

08:06.953 --> 08:09.194
[SPEAKER_00]: In case the debit card goes bad.

08:10.255 --> 08:12.096
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I have credit card in the car.

08:12.576 --> 08:14.257
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, that counts, that counts, that's good.

08:14.677 --> 08:19.900
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've got, well, I hate to bring up the fact again that I have an old man wallet.

08:20.340 --> 08:25.583
[SPEAKER_00]: So I have lots of cards in it, but the ones that are prioritized are licensed Costco and debit.

08:26.071 --> 08:30.154
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's see, check nearby warehouses, minimize zip code.

08:30.234 --> 08:31.735
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're lucky, you're in Florida.

08:31.755 --> 08:33.696
[SPEAKER_00]: So your Costco sell booze.

08:35.117 --> 08:37.899
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they have like the separate liquor store outside of Costco?

08:38.979 --> 08:39.640
[SPEAKER_01]: They do not.

08:40.120 --> 08:41.621
[SPEAKER_00]: OK, because I went to Moscow.

08:41.921 --> 08:44.243
[SPEAKER_00]: I went to with Mike and they had like a liquor store.

08:44.283 --> 08:44.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the liquor store?

08:45.183 --> 08:46.544
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was like attached.

08:46.784 --> 08:47.685
[SPEAKER_01]: That is not.

08:48.245 --> 08:52.088
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like publics and wind mixing all have that Costco does not.

08:52.413 --> 09:07.044
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I remember I almost, I used to drink Josh and when I went to Maine for the first time with Mike and we went to a grocery store and there on the aisle next to like potato chips and cookies was just an aisle of liquor.

09:07.484 --> 09:10.847
[SPEAKER_00]: And as someone who's raised in Virginia, it's very shocking to see it there.

09:10.987 --> 09:13.149
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but it doesn't really affect me anymore.

09:13.229 --> 09:13.869
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very easy.

09:14.250 --> 09:18.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but it is not available in any stores within 90 miles.

09:19.253 --> 09:19.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they ship?

09:20.388 --> 09:20.968
[SPEAKER_01]: They do ship.

09:21.248 --> 09:29.432
[SPEAKER_00]: So it says I can ship it to my think you should and if you do put it if there's a note people were talking about a a hot tub here.

09:29.893 --> 09:36.296
[SPEAKER_00]: We should say this if they have it revealed but sometimes you can have like shipping notes put do not deliver this filled with water.

09:36.756 --> 09:39.317
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it would really cut down on shipping if it's see.

09:39.777 --> 09:46.541
[SPEAKER_01]: I was thinking I would add the hot tub strawberries and whipped cream and would you say condoms to my water.

09:46.821 --> 09:47.581
[SPEAKER_00]: That'd be great.

09:47.721 --> 09:49.022
[SPEAKER_01]: And make it a real nice packet.

09:49.322 --> 09:54.307
[SPEAKER_00]: and also get like 400 gallons of Kirkland water being put in the hot tub.

09:55.328 --> 09:58.130
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good, that's I like the bit of filling it up my water bottle.

09:58.290 --> 09:59.331
[SPEAKER_00]: What do we take a while?

09:59.552 --> 10:00.753
[SPEAKER_00]: It would keep the kids busy.

10:01.073 --> 10:02.735
[SPEAKER_01]: It might be cheaper than my water bill.

10:03.896 --> 10:05.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Is water costly there?

10:05.958 --> 10:06.398
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

10:06.438 --> 10:09.221
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I have a leak or something because my water bill is way too high.

10:09.361 --> 10:10.402
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you have a running toilet?

10:11.122 --> 10:11.523
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not.

10:12.410 --> 10:15.452
[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, this is one of the funnest homeowner experiments you can do.

10:15.572 --> 10:16.613
[SPEAKER_00]: And I should say most fun.

10:16.653 --> 10:18.755
[SPEAKER_00]: I think get yourself some food coloring.

10:19.995 --> 10:22.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Like red is what I like because it looks fun.

10:22.077 --> 10:22.717
[SPEAKER_00]: It's fine.

10:23.137 --> 10:25.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Put it in the tank and see if it leaks into the bowl.

10:25.999 --> 10:29.862
[SPEAKER_00]: And that way you know if you've got it that can that destroyed us for like three months.

10:29.922 --> 10:31.183
[SPEAKER_00]: We had a huge water bill.

10:31.983 --> 10:33.985
[SPEAKER_01]: That's also fun when you go visit other people.

10:35.651 --> 10:54.344
[SPEAKER_01]: at least behind or use yellow and people think that this damn thing won't flush or go with the red or they're not I have I believe the connection because I'm in a newer construction home I believe the connection out at the road is leaking because there's always water there.

10:55.120 --> 11:06.398
[SPEAKER_01]: really well that you should write a strongly worded letter i did and they they have told me i have to talk to the construction people construction people tell me talk to the water people it goes back and forth back and forth

11:07.043 --> 11:09.764
[SPEAKER_00]: One time carried didn't pay our water bill and we got it shut off.

11:10.344 --> 11:15.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's really, that is, I really felt, I felt like trash.

11:15.345 --> 11:16.865
[SPEAKER_00]: We came home from a vacation.

11:17.165 --> 11:19.806
[SPEAKER_00]: It would not be one, like four or five days or something, that at the beach.

11:20.126 --> 11:23.066
[SPEAKER_00]: And we came back, and the biggest yellow posted is on our front door.

11:23.446 --> 11:27.867
[SPEAKER_00]: So not only did we get our water shut off, everyone knew we got our water shut off.

11:27.887 --> 11:27.967
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

11:28.767 --> 11:31.148
[SPEAKER_01]: That last week it happened to me, mid-show.

11:32.420 --> 11:36.965
[SPEAKER_01]: While we were recording this show, the guy came and turned off and I'm like, why didn't you knock on the door?

11:37.205 --> 11:38.847
[SPEAKER_01]: If he knocked on the door, I would have paid it.

11:39.748 --> 11:40.569
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

11:42.591 --> 11:45.675
[SPEAKER_01]: And steady's got to make another trip out later in the day to turn it back on.

11:46.020 --> 11:54.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Were you able to rejuvenate your water supply by virtual like over the phone or computer or did you have to go into like town hall to do it?

11:54.447 --> 11:58.290
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I paid it virtually, but then I had to send the guy out to turn the knob.

11:59.011 --> 12:01.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Then I had to go into town.

12:01.132 --> 12:03.394
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to involve government with mine.

12:03.434 --> 12:05.035
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to go and stand in a line to do it.

12:05.296 --> 12:07.778
[SPEAKER_01]: I found the tool in Amazon, so I'm thinking I just order in it.

12:08.478 --> 12:09.279
[SPEAKER_01]: So I do it again.

12:09.339 --> 12:11.080
[SPEAKER_01]: I can just go turn it back all myself and pay.

12:11.160 --> 12:20.788
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that idea, but even better how about don't pay your bill, turn it off, and then the guy comes out and turns it on, but he thinks he's turning it off, and then you're set.

12:23.891 --> 12:24.171
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

12:24.491 --> 12:26.393
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like it's not in my head of time.

12:26.553 --> 12:27.994
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's not like a soul annoyed switch.

12:28.034 --> 12:28.655
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess it's right.

12:28.695 --> 12:29.395
[SPEAKER_00]: He tidy lefty.

12:29.475 --> 12:29.776
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.

12:29.796 --> 12:29.896
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.

12:29.956 --> 12:30.136
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.

12:30.176 --> 12:30.556
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

12:30.756 --> 12:32.017
[SPEAKER_00]: It'd be better if it was just a switch.

12:32.578 --> 12:32.738
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

12:33.158 --> 12:33.339
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

12:33.799 --> 12:36.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I believe that's what you have where they can do it electronically.

12:36.412 --> 12:56.770
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that is exactly because I live in the uh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the

12:57.343 --> 13:00.725
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, mine is literally the closest stored in my house.

13:01.185 --> 13:02.386
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not a seven eleven.

13:02.446 --> 13:04.347
[SPEAKER_00]: There's not a giant or a safe way closer.

13:04.768 --> 13:09.951
[SPEAKER_00]: If I wanted to get a gallon of milk at the closest possible location, it would be Costco.

13:10.331 --> 13:13.673
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's so convenient for us to go there.

13:14.394 --> 13:16.195
[SPEAKER_00]: And we, not, you know,

13:17.404 --> 13:23.306
[SPEAKER_00]: It was more so when we had both kids living at home because we'd go through stuff more obviously, especially with Robert.

13:23.346 --> 13:28.869
[SPEAKER_00]: He's an eating machine, but I still go there and I've bought a lot of things.

13:29.109 --> 13:33.470
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you have anything, let's leave the hot tub out of it, because we don't know what's shipping yet.

13:34.231 --> 13:38.772
[SPEAKER_00]: What is the most notable thing you think you've purchased there?

13:38.792 --> 13:40.013
[SPEAKER_00]: Like any big dollar item?

13:40.593 --> 13:42.734
[SPEAKER_01]: My office television, I purchased from Costco.

13:42.994 --> 13:46.478
[SPEAKER_00]: I've purchased two televisions from Costco and I find their deals to be good.

13:46.498 --> 13:49.481
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you find that their TVs are about eight months behind, though?

13:50.842 --> 13:55.267
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, no, no, I've never, I've never paid attention to that.

13:56.463 --> 14:02.344
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think I don't know, they have a hundred inch TV now when I walk into my Costco, that is massive.

14:02.724 --> 14:04.425
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's beautiful, isn't it?

14:05.045 --> 14:05.865
[SPEAKER_01]: It is, it is.

14:05.885 --> 14:08.086
[SPEAKER_01]: I look at it every time, it's like 1500 bucks.

14:08.286 --> 14:14.307
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I got my first big, big TV at Costco, but it was a projection.

14:15.047 --> 14:17.068
[SPEAKER_00]: And because of that, it had its shelf life.

14:17.168 --> 14:24.330
[SPEAKER_00]: I did replace the lamps once, and I felt like I was 10 feet tall that I was able to successfully replace the lamps on it

14:26.830 --> 14:29.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Nobody because they don't watch that deep and then you're the only one that noticed.

14:30.013 --> 14:41.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, it's brighter Yeah, and look you can see everything and they're like and so but now I have a I think it's an 80 inch Samsung That's just right, but hundred would be better.

14:41.604 --> 14:46.188
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I feel like Everything we purchase it's it's let's shut Costco first

14:46.815 --> 14:55.841
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to one of the reasons I love Costco, and I've seen this on documentary is they research their products to make sure that they're popular among people.

14:55.861 --> 15:04.046
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not going to put out something that's dicey and they check it like this hot tub that's what amazes me at Costco is they rotate things in and out.

15:04.347 --> 15:10.251
[SPEAKER_01]: So every time I can scroll and I know part of it is them just rearranging everything because they do that every day.

15:10.271 --> 15:11.792
[SPEAKER_01]: But they keep looking for it.

15:12.092 --> 15:12.232
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

15:12.272 --> 15:13.793
[SPEAKER_01]: There's always new products in there.

15:14.073 --> 15:14.413
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

15:14.573 --> 15:15.293
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so fun.

15:15.714 --> 15:16.534
[SPEAKER_00]: What is your route?

15:16.554 --> 15:18.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you have a standard route when you're doing it?

15:18.735 --> 15:20.675
[SPEAKER_00]: Not if you're like going to get something.

15:20.775 --> 15:22.316
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you're sharp, what's your route?

15:22.616 --> 15:24.677
[SPEAKER_01]: Standard route is I go in.

15:24.697 --> 15:27.978
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I walk past the electronics because that's too tempting for me.

15:27.998 --> 15:29.498
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I usually walk through them.

15:30.839 --> 15:35.360
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I really go through and I'll keep an eye.

15:35.640 --> 15:36.661
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll peek over at the

15:38.448 --> 15:41.189
[SPEAKER_01]: furniture and seasonal stuff they have on the left middle.

15:41.510 --> 15:52.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah for me to look at that while I'm walking past and I really go straight back to the bakery and I start my I start my shop and at the bakery and the fruits and vegetables.

15:52.630 --> 15:53.531
[SPEAKER_00]: it's so funny.

15:54.051 --> 15:56.312
[SPEAKER_00]: I do the same and that's kind of weird.

15:56.533 --> 15:57.553
[SPEAKER_00]: It's that alike.

15:57.653 --> 16:02.476
[SPEAKER_00]: But that you know that inner that aisle that goes on both sides.

16:02.636 --> 16:03.637
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that's from a doctor.

16:03.697 --> 16:04.898
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called the racetrack.

16:05.378 --> 16:05.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

16:05.978 --> 16:13.123
[SPEAKER_00]: And the action, they keep the end goods rotating because everybody goes around the racetrack.

16:13.163 --> 16:14.384
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're seeing that stuff.

16:14.404 --> 16:16.345
[SPEAKER_01]: And you always stop at something on the racetrack.

16:16.425 --> 16:28.954
[SPEAKER_00]: you do you do you always do so I go back and I checked out baked goods I'll get fruits I think that I am as a vegetable and a grocery guy always impressed with their produce because they have such high turnover.

16:30.174 --> 16:34.938
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the fact that I can get raspberries good raspberries all year round for not very much.

16:34.978 --> 16:37.960
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I normally grab raspberries strawberries grapes.

16:39.000 --> 16:39.141
[SPEAKER_00]: That's

16:41.710 --> 16:43.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I buy, oh, you know what you should do.

16:43.191 --> 16:49.956
[SPEAKER_00]: It's much easier and cheaper is get the five heads of Roman lettuce and then you just chop them as you go.

16:50.096 --> 16:50.737
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's cheaper.

16:50.837 --> 16:51.497
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the last one.

16:51.537 --> 16:52.458
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be cheaper, yes.

16:52.798 --> 16:55.981
[SPEAKER_00]: And you don't get, what's the disease that always comes with someone else?

16:56.201 --> 16:58.542
[SPEAKER_00]: You are a Lesteria, yes, you avoid all of that.

16:58.763 --> 17:05.588
[SPEAKER_00]: So then after that, I'm going to guess you leave that cooler and you cross through the meat section.

17:06.148 --> 17:08.950
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and I don't spend a lot of time in the meat section

17:12.624 --> 17:13.044
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.

17:13.384 --> 17:28.098
[SPEAKER_00]: So we kind of glance through them me like keep an eye on a little bit, but we don't we don't buy much in the second to rewind the TMOs Extra with one exclamation point, but was this a vegan ice cream you were getting for her from Ben and Jerry's one of the non-dairy ones?

17:28.959 --> 17:30.420
[SPEAKER_01]: No, because she's okay with dairy.

17:30.901 --> 17:32.642
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so she's not technically vegan.

17:32.702 --> 17:35.545
[SPEAKER_01]: No, she is nothing that would harm an animal

17:35.966 --> 17:51.312
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, you see and I appreciate it because having little have I met having met her I would assume if she was vegan she would have told me because vegans loved telling you people that I know Julia dated one dates one I was gonna say did something change well no just to my dreams

17:53.012 --> 17:59.634
[SPEAKER_00]: And she tried veganism for a while and the doctor said you have no iron in your blood.

18:00.214 --> 18:01.394
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why you're tired.

18:01.494 --> 18:04.175
[SPEAKER_01]: So she's got to take pills and everything to balance that.

18:04.235 --> 18:07.376
[SPEAKER_00]: I told her the best bet was to get back on stake and do it quickly.

18:08.016 --> 18:09.876
[SPEAKER_00]: She's a good meat and she's a good carnivore.

18:10.096 --> 18:11.677
[SPEAKER_01]: Just not too much your hands will turn orange.

18:13.177 --> 18:14.477
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that.

18:15.978 --> 18:20.279
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we go through the meat section and then they've got the rows that we like that are all

18:21.791 --> 18:22.952
[SPEAKER_00]: love the cheeses.

18:23.172 --> 18:23.892
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my gosh.

18:23.972 --> 18:24.292
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

18:24.432 --> 18:24.732
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

18:24.852 --> 18:25.433
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.

18:25.993 --> 18:29.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, what did you do have a go to cheese purchase at Costco?

18:29.835 --> 18:33.116
[SPEAKER_01]: And I do never seen me this excited to do it.

18:33.416 --> 18:34.937
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a huge cheese person.

18:35.097 --> 18:39.719
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the this is generally where I pick up the chicken salad because I'm a chicken salad fan.

18:39.959 --> 18:40.760
[SPEAKER_00]: And it is excellent.

18:40.960 --> 18:41.500
[SPEAKER_00]: It is good there.

18:42.161 --> 18:45.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, do you buy any of, by the way, they have a pack.

18:45.363 --> 18:46.524
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's two pounds.

18:47.125 --> 18:54.971
[SPEAKER_00]: That is Swiss cheddar, uh, a Colby Jack and maybe like a, ooh.

18:55.291 --> 18:56.692
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, this is the, the pre sliced.

18:56.972 --> 18:57.252
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

18:57.412 --> 18:58.333
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great cheese.

18:58.533 --> 18:59.314
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we buy that.

18:59.334 --> 19:00.195
[SPEAKER_01]: We can look at that.

19:00.315 --> 19:00.935
[SPEAKER_00]: Good for you.

19:00.955 --> 19:01.556
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

19:01.576 --> 19:03.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you eat any prepared foods?

19:03.817 --> 19:06.300
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the chicken papai love it.

19:06.680 --> 19:07.201
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that.

19:07.261 --> 19:11.745
[SPEAKER_01]: We will get that every few weeks and it's a family favorite I bet kids love it.

19:11.805 --> 19:12.566
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yep.

19:12.646 --> 19:18.251
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're on a maybe a once a month rotation on that and these sees our salad The salad is very good.

19:18.311 --> 19:26.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like they used to do a spinach salad back in the day that was really really good But they have fried pizzas like keep looking at but I haven't tried yet

19:26.383 --> 19:26.783
[SPEAKER_00]: They're good.

19:27.223 --> 19:27.884
[SPEAKER_00]: They're very good.

19:27.944 --> 19:28.884
[SPEAKER_00]: I got the margarita.

19:29.264 --> 19:30.244
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it will enjoy it.

19:30.885 --> 19:35.706
[SPEAKER_00]: And then my mom is real big on buying a non bread, which is not like non dairy.

19:35.746 --> 19:41.528
[SPEAKER_00]: It's NAA and she buys that at Costco to make her own little pizzas.

19:41.988 --> 19:44.509
[SPEAKER_01]: So then after that, I go back to the water section.

19:45.109 --> 19:45.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

19:45.930 --> 19:49.251
[SPEAKER_00]: And you I bet you buy amazing amount of water.

19:49.891 --> 19:53.612
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I buy, I drink these sparkling waters.

19:54.072 --> 19:55.673
[SPEAKER_01]: That has to my soda replacement.

19:56.154 --> 19:56.775
[SPEAKER_00]: has it working.

19:57.616 --> 19:58.958
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I've been doing it for years.

19:59.358 --> 20:01.020
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but I see you drink soda.

20:01.080 --> 20:03.724
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not I still drink soda and I'm not a red bull.

20:04.044 --> 20:04.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

20:04.345 --> 20:10.653
[SPEAKER_01]: But I I flood my system with these sparkling soda waters to try to avoid kidney sounds basically.

20:11.053 --> 20:14.077
[SPEAKER_00]: The, well, you have your doctors thing coming up and you can mention that.

20:15.050 --> 20:15.470
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I will.

20:15.590 --> 20:17.312
[SPEAKER_01]: I will call on them after this show.

20:17.772 --> 20:25.817
[SPEAKER_00]: The when I go back into the beverages and oh, by the way, my favorite prepared foods the meat loaf and mashed potatoes is outstanding.

20:26.177 --> 20:26.618
[SPEAKER_01]: That's true.

20:26.738 --> 20:27.558
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that one as well.

20:27.798 --> 20:29.960
[SPEAKER_00]: But I imagine that wouldn't be a big one for Kelly.

20:30.240 --> 20:31.341
[SPEAKER_01]: No, but it's a big one for me.

20:31.622 --> 20:35.105
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a good second day sandwich is very very good.

20:35.145 --> 20:35.326
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

20:35.566 --> 20:41.953
[SPEAKER_01]: We go to Costco every week, but we make different purchases when we have the kids versus when we don't have the kids.

20:41.993 --> 20:44.976
[SPEAKER_01]: So if the kids are coming, something like meatloaf might be an option.

20:46.077 --> 20:54.927
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, when you're when you're back getting water at one of my key well the two key things I As carry to get if she goes to Costco are the 30 pack of coax.

20:55.587 --> 21:04.857
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, which is a great bargain or if we're feeling really rich the Mexican coax Which are better your mix bottles, but yeah, oh the fiesta pack.

21:04.897 --> 21:07.080
[SPEAKER_00]: That was the last time I was there

21:08.701 --> 21:15.748
[SPEAKER_00]: But the Costco organic lemonade is oh, that's very good the best.

21:16.128 --> 21:30.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, with the green handle Yeah, but as a matter of fact my go-to drink during the day water bores me so much I try to drink water, but I will do like a three-quarter water one-quarter lemonade mix Okay, and it really is excellent.

21:30.681 --> 21:31.141
[SPEAKER_00]: I love you.

21:31.181 --> 21:35.725
[SPEAKER_01]: I start with either the water But all my sparkle waters flavored, so that's how I handle that

21:36.205 --> 21:36.646
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.

21:36.666 --> 21:39.429
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought you were buying like a no no no green or something.

21:39.529 --> 21:44.034
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I get like the Kirkland Like the bubble for tellters.

21:44.294 --> 21:45.255
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, flavored tellters.

21:45.275 --> 21:45.936
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I get.

21:46.056 --> 21:51.021
[SPEAKER_01]: I get a case of the Kirkland and then if another brand is won't sale I'll get another brand to mix it up.

21:51.462 --> 21:53.043
[SPEAKER_00]: What are the flavors in the Kirkland?

21:53.063 --> 21:54.225
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a mixed bag of food?

21:54.245 --> 21:55.766
[SPEAKER_01]: Kirkland is yeah lemon lime

21:56.711 --> 21:58.593
[SPEAKER_01]: Lemon and grapefruit.

21:59.314 --> 22:00.515
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I bet grapefruit is good.

22:00.535 --> 22:01.696
[SPEAKER_01]: Great fruit is my favorite.

22:01.856 --> 22:06.580
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but they do that bit where they only put where they put more of the lemon lime Of course.

22:06.921 --> 22:19.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you know what they might all be the same flavor just with different stickers along them just to trick you Now you can tell the difference you can or yesterday they had La Croix on sale a 20 pack of La Croix for six bucks.

22:19.612 --> 22:20.353
[SPEAKER_01]: So I grabbed that as

22:20.533 --> 22:21.775
[SPEAKER_00]: How can you not buy that?

22:22.135 --> 22:22.335
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

22:22.515 --> 22:23.557
[SPEAKER_00]: That's so great.

22:23.737 --> 22:24.117
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.

22:24.698 --> 22:29.945
[SPEAKER_00]: And so then after I walk the drinks, at least in mine, I hit the frozen area.

22:30.145 --> 22:33.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, there's no, we skipped past the Malcolm eggs.

22:34.090 --> 22:38.235
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, well, you know that last week, my Costco out of eggs.

22:39.558 --> 22:41.739
[SPEAKER_01]: I hear there's a bird flu or something going around.

22:41.899 --> 22:45.760
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll, yeah, but I mean, even if you have to pay top dollar, I want me my eggs.

22:46.841 --> 22:50.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, do you, Mike always gives me grief about everything, but also about this.

22:51.742 --> 22:54.183
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you buy, do you buy milk on a regular basis?

22:54.203 --> 22:54.843
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got kids.

22:55.144 --> 22:56.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, do you buy whole milk?

22:56.924 --> 22:58.165
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I buy two percent.

22:58.785 --> 22:59.765
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a whole milk guy.

23:00.365 --> 23:01.466
[SPEAKER_00]: I love their whole milk.

23:01.506 --> 23:02.226
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate whole milk.

23:02.846 --> 23:03.506
[SPEAKER_00]: Tooth, why?

23:04.007 --> 23:04.507
[SPEAKER_01]: It's too thick.

23:05.575 --> 23:06.276
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the best part.

23:06.296 --> 23:06.817
[SPEAKER_01]: It's too thick.

23:06.857 --> 23:07.477
[SPEAKER_01]: I can taste it.

23:07.898 --> 23:08.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

23:08.218 --> 23:09.760
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got a sickness for the thickness.

23:12.063 --> 23:13.845
[SPEAKER_01]: If I want something thick, I can go with Oregon.

23:14.486 --> 23:15.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, also good.

23:15.928 --> 23:16.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

23:16.308 --> 23:17.710
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll take grab at Costco as well.

23:18.559 --> 23:21.220
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they that's some that's so many front of the store though.

23:21.260 --> 23:22.481
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't gotten to that section.

23:22.621 --> 23:23.841
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't we haven't.

23:24.942 --> 23:29.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Go to things in the frozen area after we do our our milk and our eggs.

23:30.364 --> 23:34.786
[SPEAKER_00]: When we had kids, we always when the kids were home, we always have to have mozzarella sticks in the house.

23:35.086 --> 23:38.307
[SPEAKER_01]: We buy every time we go, we buy a case of mozzarella sticks.

23:38.829 --> 24:00.150
[SPEAKER_00]: with an air fryer it's it's a no-brainer it's just a great you know what i'm thinking of the not mozzarella sticks but it's string cheese oh no i'm thinking i'm thinking i'm thinking i tried yeah and remember a comic one said hey would you like to eat ten string cheeses no thank you would you like an order fried mozzarella yes which is essentially yes you do the same thing yeah

24:00.950 --> 24:04.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Also in the frozen I haven't been buying the ice cream a lot.

24:04.393 --> 24:19.424
[SPEAKER_01]: They do have that vanilla ice cream that I love But I now have a case of free bed and Jerry so I need for that when I'm in the freezer session It's I'm playing this mental game of how much can I fit my freezer at home because they're all big boxes Yes, and I don't have a garage freezer yet.

24:19.684 --> 24:23.827
[SPEAKER_01]: You gotta get one I know but I have to make room in the garage first

24:24.427 --> 24:25.489
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's a space issue.

24:25.509 --> 24:28.873
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a space, yes, because I have my trailer in the garage.

24:29.093 --> 24:29.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

24:29.473 --> 24:33.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have a very good garage freezer because it's what they call a French door freezer.

24:33.898 --> 24:34.920
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my main fridge.

24:35.200 --> 24:37.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and so it's split all the way down the middle.

24:37.282 --> 24:38.544
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's bad for boxes.

24:38.604 --> 24:42.589
[SPEAKER_00]: So you'll see some unboxing while, you know, correct.

24:42.609 --> 24:43.330
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's safe.

24:43.350 --> 24:43.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

24:44.691 --> 24:49.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Robert, uh, when he's living at home, um, always, uncrustables.

24:50.436 --> 24:52.638
[SPEAKER_01]: That's my number one grab at Costco.

24:52.838 --> 24:54.019
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a box of uncrustables.

24:54.279 --> 24:55.120
[SPEAKER_01]: That is my lunch.

24:55.180 --> 24:56.221
[SPEAKER_01]: The kids don't even eat it.

24:56.721 --> 24:58.203
[SPEAKER_01]: That is my lunch almost every day.

24:58.223 --> 25:00.945
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I got to ask because I like them too.

25:01.285 --> 25:01.506
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

25:01.546 --> 25:02.386
[SPEAKER_01]: You eat them frozen?

25:03.948 --> 25:04.428
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes.

25:04.908 --> 25:06.990
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the texture of frozen peanut butter.

25:07.030 --> 25:09.692
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, now, have you done this?

25:10.073 --> 25:10.373
[SPEAKER_00]: What?

25:10.793 --> 25:11.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Air fryer.

25:12.879 --> 25:15.676
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's pretty good really pretty good.

25:15.777 --> 25:15.978
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes

25:16.873 --> 25:21.876
[SPEAKER_00]: I will tell you this, and this is absolutely true and funny to me, but I was really pissed at the time.

25:22.436 --> 25:31.201
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a break-in at Podville, and they had, of course, cameras on it.

25:32.282 --> 25:42.968
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched the video, watched the guy pick up and take my MacBook, but also watched him go to the fridge and eat my incredible while he was robbing the studio.

25:43.917 --> 26:08.015
[SPEAKER_00]: that is that is great and it's not great now I'm thinking about how mad it made right when you were more upset at the uncrustable than the MacBook well i can understand stealing a MacBook but that uncrustable that was my lunch do that's like robinating your face it is absolutely bad like that all right so that let me think any other key frozen stuff if you go to the end of the frozen stuff is there bread

26:09.088 --> 26:13.329
[SPEAKER_01]: The bread, they've now moved the bread where the bread is now right before the frozen stuff from it.

26:13.469 --> 26:14.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, do you bread up there?

26:14.970 --> 26:20.492
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we'll get a box of Hawaiian rolls and some sandwich bread.

26:20.712 --> 26:22.932
[SPEAKER_00]: I get the pepperage farm white home style.

26:23.152 --> 26:27.294
[SPEAKER_01]: We get the nature's, not nature's valley, nature's something.

26:27.474 --> 26:28.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Nature's best.

26:28.394 --> 26:30.295
[SPEAKER_01]: Nature's best and we go with wheat.

26:30.775 --> 26:31.075
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

26:31.095 --> 26:31.535
[SPEAKER_01]: I like wheat.

26:31.875 --> 26:36.877
[SPEAKER_00]: I do too, but if you're going to do a grilled carry has got a thing for grilled cheese sandwiches.

26:36.937 --> 26:42.500
[SPEAKER_00]: That's her jam, and that's the best bread, the white stuff is the best put for that.

26:42.580 --> 26:42.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?

26:42.880 --> 26:43.780
[SPEAKER_01]: They should combine.

26:44.160 --> 26:48.502
[SPEAKER_01]: Uncrossed the bullshit come out with a grilled cheese, where I take it out of the freezer and put it straight in my toaster.

26:48.842 --> 26:49.222
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes!

26:49.242 --> 26:50.063
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a grilled cheese.

26:50.683 --> 26:55.525
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you know what, get, write them a letter and write the construction company a letter.

26:55.925 --> 26:57.365
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a mix of.

26:58.646 --> 27:02.807
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, um, I guess you have a, you're not a coffee guy.

27:02.827 --> 27:03.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Is Kelly a coffee person?

27:04.508 --> 27:09.149
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, we do not buy coffee at because she uses like then the espresso pods.

27:09.509 --> 27:10.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay, yeah.

27:10.430 --> 27:12.450
[SPEAKER_00]: So we use, um, we have a curing.

27:12.490 --> 27:13.931
[SPEAKER_00]: So carry buys a pipe place.

27:14.391 --> 27:15.591
[SPEAKER_00]: So we buy a case of the pods.

27:15.631 --> 27:16.832
[SPEAKER_00]: And here's the problem there.

27:17.512 --> 27:19.153
[SPEAKER_00]: that also comes in a big box.

27:19.173 --> 27:19.393
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

27:19.653 --> 27:24.817
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's I've got a rack in my kitchen just for the pods, but you can fit the whole box in.

27:24.857 --> 27:26.718
[SPEAKER_00]: No, and then I got to wear I'm going to put the box.

27:27.238 --> 27:32.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I have a spot in my kitchen cabinet for the extra pods.

27:34.123 --> 27:37.465
[SPEAKER_00]: I put them in a big Ziploc bag and throw them in the top of a cabinet.

27:37.605 --> 27:39.547
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can reach them, but they're not in the way.

27:40.387 --> 27:42.669
[SPEAKER_00]: You always need more space for stuff like that.

27:43.688 --> 27:47.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Serial I is probably my next go to as we look at the aisles on that side.

27:47.850 --> 27:47.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

27:48.110 --> 27:48.570
[SPEAKER_01]: Serial.

27:49.090 --> 27:49.291
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

27:49.631 --> 27:53.032
[SPEAKER_01]: We grab materials or occasionally send them in post-crunch.

27:53.472 --> 27:54.893
[SPEAKER_00]: Always send them in post-crunch for me.

27:55.173 --> 27:55.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Always.

27:55.573 --> 27:57.614
[SPEAKER_00]: And as my physique shows.

27:58.114 --> 28:01.596
[SPEAKER_01]: And every I think it's every six months or so I've got to grab the two pack of peanut butter.

28:02.536 --> 28:02.817
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

28:03.057 --> 28:03.317
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

28:03.337 --> 28:04.837
[SPEAKER_00]: As a matter of fact, we're due for peanut butter, too.

28:05.178 --> 28:06.338
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you tried the

28:08.838 --> 28:09.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I have not.

28:09.718 --> 28:13.280
[SPEAKER_01]: They aren't because I'm not a strawberry jelly guy.

28:13.660 --> 28:14.701
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a great jelly guy.

28:15.801 --> 28:17.302
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that explains the encrustables.

28:17.522 --> 28:17.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

28:18.162 --> 28:18.723
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it does.

28:20.063 --> 28:25.926
[SPEAKER_00]: But you given a really nice white bread peanut butter and jelly sandwich with strawberry, you just don't do it.

28:27.066 --> 28:27.827
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not.

28:28.867 --> 28:30.328
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't think of any time I've had that.

28:30.862 --> 28:36.731
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think you should try it, but it's an awful big investment of my two jobs.

28:37.052 --> 28:38.894
[SPEAKER_00]: See, I'm very jelly or jam.

28:38.914 --> 28:43.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's always my problem at Costco is they always have something new that I want to try.

28:43.061 --> 28:46.025
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's, do I want to risk it on that giant bag?

28:46.826 --> 29:05.442
[SPEAKER_00]: I usually do, but as a rule, I mean, their stuff is so well tested now we miss something that my mom does and oftentimes I will go with my mom because she verybly needs some help with like a case of water or something and we go in and she'll load up on wine.

29:06.680 --> 29:11.744
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I stick with Naked Wind, so I did not grab the Costco.

29:11.824 --> 29:20.110
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, this is, this is I'm going back before that we had Naked Wind, but she will get, you know, a big clinking cart full of wine.

29:20.450 --> 29:26.154
[SPEAKER_01]: I, everyone always has full cart to wine and I'm wondering if you're serious, aren't this?

29:26.174 --> 29:26.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

29:26.694 --> 29:27.535
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm always shocked.

29:27.595 --> 29:29.196
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see like more broken bottles.

29:30.337 --> 29:30.877
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

29:30.937 --> 29:31.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Always clinking.

29:32.788 --> 29:38.873
[SPEAKER_00]: I have, and I'm not proud of this, broken a bottle of Dom Perignon at Costco.

29:40.494 --> 29:44.957
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a 100, I believe it's the time it was $125 bottle of champagne.

29:45.598 --> 29:50.702
[SPEAKER_01]: We try not to take the kids to the Costco with us, but the next my number one fear for them pushing the cart.

29:52.748 --> 29:53.048
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

29:53.068 --> 29:53.649
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

29:54.430 --> 29:57.973
[SPEAKER_01]: But my fear is always they're going to run it the card into the stack of wine bottles.

29:58.794 --> 30:00.916
[SPEAKER_00]: I just carelessly it rolled out.

30:00.936 --> 30:02.698
[SPEAKER_00]: I had it where you put kids.

30:03.539 --> 30:05.961
[SPEAKER_00]: You know the the seat that you push forward on the cart.

30:06.382 --> 30:09.765
[SPEAKER_00]: It was up there and it fell out and it broke and I will tell you this.

30:09.985 --> 30:12.067
[SPEAKER_00]: If you break an expensive bottle of champagne.

30:12.668 --> 30:13.269
[SPEAKER_00]: Beautiful.

30:13.489 --> 30:16.512
[SPEAKER_00]: It makes a mess so fast because of the carbonation.

30:16.772 --> 30:18.753
[SPEAKER_01]: And how fast did you get out of there?

30:18.773 --> 30:19.373
[SPEAKER_00]: I did.

30:19.393 --> 30:20.133
[SPEAKER_01]: I own it.

30:20.593 --> 30:21.033
[SPEAKER_00]: I did.

30:21.474 --> 30:25.235
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was prepared to pay for it because, you know, it was not.

30:25.255 --> 30:26.195
[SPEAKER_01]: I got this assurance.

30:26.615 --> 30:30.156
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the guy came over and I said, he said, we'll get this cleaned up.

30:30.196 --> 30:30.977
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry about it.

30:31.097 --> 30:32.557
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, do I pay for it?

30:32.617 --> 30:36.398
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, no, and I remember this because I still see this guy at my Costco.

30:36.438 --> 30:39.840
[SPEAKER_00]: He says, no, but next time try to break something cheaper.

30:42.945 --> 30:45.409
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait for you to break something else and call the guy over.

30:45.429 --> 30:47.051
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember.

30:47.071 --> 30:47.852
[SPEAKER_00]: He'll remember.

30:47.912 --> 30:54.522
[SPEAKER_00]: Now even when I drank, I didn't buy a lot of alcoholic beverages there because I'm not really a wine guide.

30:54.803 --> 30:57.667
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll get the case of high news over there.

30:57.967 --> 31:02.850
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, the beer, they are weird on what they choose to sell for beer.

31:03.490 --> 31:08.052
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I would have loved back in the day if they just stocked Budweiser, but it's Bud Light.

31:08.413 --> 31:08.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

31:08.633 --> 31:09.513
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's Miller Light.

31:09.593 --> 31:11.734
[SPEAKER_00]: Corona is a pretty good go-to.

31:11.794 --> 31:13.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's a lot of light beers.

31:13.635 --> 31:15.937
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess because those are the people that drink an entire case.

31:17.154 --> 31:19.977
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry, I, you know, what about me?

31:20.158 --> 31:22.340
[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm not of that issue anymore.

31:22.400 --> 31:24.883
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, what about like baking supplies?

31:24.903 --> 31:27.026
[SPEAKER_00]: Because as you move up, there's like the baking aisle.

31:27.787 --> 31:31.451
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll grab some spaghetti and spaghetti sauce in that aisle.

31:31.852 --> 31:32.612
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the sauce.

31:32.693 --> 31:33.233
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the sauce.

31:33.253 --> 31:33.854
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the sauce.

31:34.455 --> 31:36.157
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the pasta variety pack.

31:36.597 --> 31:39.799
[SPEAKER_00]: the big burilla pack where you can get all the kinds of plants in it.

31:40.360 --> 31:48.525
[SPEAKER_00]: And they had a sauce, a tusk and he style sauce last year that they sold out of limited run that was exceptional.

31:49.586 --> 31:52.248
[SPEAKER_00]: But any of them, and then they had to have prego.

31:52.268 --> 31:53.168
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a go to for us.

31:53.408 --> 31:53.849
[SPEAKER_00]: That's okay.

31:53.949 --> 31:54.629
[SPEAKER_00]: Normally, prego.

31:55.030 --> 31:59.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever sauce you're talking about might be the one we used because I remember my wife said we couldn't find the sauce.

32:00.233 --> 32:01.093
[SPEAKER_00]: But it wasn't great.

32:01.653 --> 32:02.093
[SPEAKER_01]: It was great.

32:02.294 --> 32:02.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

32:02.794 --> 32:16.397
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just, I will, I will, you know, Costco in days of fruit cakeing was a, was a real, real stop because we're talking 15 dozen eggs and we're talking a hundred pounds of flour.

32:16.897 --> 32:22.998
[SPEAKER_00]: But now that I'm not fruit cakeing anymore, I will buy sugar there and I will buy brown sugar there and nuts if I need nuts.

32:23.459 --> 32:23.579
[SPEAKER_01]: OK.

32:24.299 --> 32:24.799
[SPEAKER_01]: I always,

32:25.771 --> 32:29.794
[SPEAKER_01]: I am always impressed when I see the people who are clearly buying for their business.

32:30.615 --> 32:31.075
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah!

32:31.455 --> 32:34.318
[SPEAKER_01]: They own some type of food store because they're buying 20,000 eggs in.

32:36.551 --> 32:37.292
[SPEAKER_00]: I love you know what?

32:37.372 --> 32:42.936
[SPEAKER_00]: I love to see people that are next level Costco people that use the six wheeler and not the grocery car.

32:42.956 --> 32:43.176
[SPEAKER_00]: Correct.

32:43.196 --> 32:44.297
[SPEAKER_01]: The flat, the flat bed.

32:44.317 --> 32:45.278
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.

32:45.458 --> 32:45.798
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.

32:46.219 --> 32:50.262
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm trying to think another trash bags always by trash bags.

32:50.302 --> 32:50.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

32:50.662 --> 32:51.923
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's in the back by the water.

32:51.943 --> 32:54.425
[SPEAKER_01]: Next section for me is chips and snacks.

32:55.085 --> 32:56.907
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's where it's fun to find new products.

32:57.490 --> 33:07.394
[SPEAKER_00]: day for a while last year had a mixture and it's based on a company that's a chicago company I can't think of it now, but they mix cheese popcorn and caramel popcorn.

33:07.755 --> 33:07.955
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

33:08.215 --> 33:09.515
[SPEAKER_00]: And it might as well be heroin.

33:09.695 --> 33:11.516
[SPEAKER_00]: It is so good.

33:13.077 --> 33:19.000
[SPEAKER_00]: But then they'll lean on potato chips and so I will buy chips there if we need them.

33:19.380 --> 33:20.900
[SPEAKER_00]: They're they're tortilla chips are good.

33:21.080 --> 33:21.661
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.

33:21.961 --> 33:22.301
[SPEAKER_00]: I never

33:25.463 --> 33:26.746
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

33:27.026 --> 33:28.088
[SPEAKER_01]: I've gotten good dips.

33:28.489 --> 33:31.114
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got a great pickle ranch dip thing there.

33:31.134 --> 33:33.378
[SPEAKER_00]: It's dill issues.

33:33.558 --> 33:34.941
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, exactly.

33:35.361 --> 33:35.882
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, uh...

33:36.988 --> 33:40.811
[SPEAKER_01]: Then I hit up the medicines, oh, yeah, yeah.

33:40.891 --> 33:49.116
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't generally have a case of a gain, but really the medicines, you buy one thing of like the clarinet there.

33:49.196 --> 33:50.697
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna last me like a year.

33:51.058 --> 33:54.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, I'm still working on a bottle of Tylenol, I think from the Clinton administration.

33:54.940 --> 33:56.241
[SPEAKER_00]: It goes way back.

33:56.642 --> 33:58.283
[SPEAKER_00]: So that brings us sort of upfront,

33:59.283 --> 34:02.464
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm also from the snacks and peanuts.

34:03.184 --> 34:05.145
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I forgot about it right there in the middle.

34:05.645 --> 34:06.866
[SPEAKER_01]: And candy and peanuts.

34:07.126 --> 34:08.526
[SPEAKER_01]: So I always grab stuff out of there.

34:09.086 --> 34:15.068
[SPEAKER_00]: I would like to tell Costco I'm very disappointed that their cashews no longer come in a jar.

34:15.548 --> 34:17.189
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want it to be that.

34:17.229 --> 34:17.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

34:17.649 --> 34:18.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't want a bag.

34:18.489 --> 34:19.109
[SPEAKER_00]: Want a jar.

34:19.629 --> 34:20.290
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

34:20.430 --> 34:22.250
[SPEAKER_01]: I buy it in that section.

34:22.290 --> 34:24.511
[SPEAKER_01]: I get some fruit bars that I like.

34:24.871 --> 34:27.772
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they've got a nice bag of giant peanuts.

34:29.230 --> 34:47.153
[SPEAKER_01]: how big like about ten inches each I don't know that's what it's like giant honey roasted peanuts and they are bigger I don't know why but who took the package these things are huge and then I will usually grab like a granola or protein bars or something because that's what Robert subsets and we grab that for the kids snacks.

34:48.193 --> 35:06.400
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, how do you feel about, um, they've modernized as we near the exit of this interview and the Costco, the, now you pay for your stuff virtually for the snack bar and not when you go up, you order on like a keypad or key ask, does that bother you?

35:07.716 --> 35:14.462
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I didn't, but also I was not a member of Costco before having this thing.

35:14.922 --> 35:15.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, yeah.

35:16.083 --> 35:18.585
[SPEAKER_00]: So you've not seen that, you've not seen the onion crank.

35:18.825 --> 35:21.267
[SPEAKER_01]: No, the onion crank was never installed in my Costco.

35:22.108 --> 35:23.569
[SPEAKER_00]: See, you're just a child.

35:23.930 --> 35:27.713
[SPEAKER_01]: It is impossible for me to go to Costco and not buy something at this snack bar.

35:28.133 --> 35:30.595
[SPEAKER_00]: It is really good and so cheap.

35:30.775 --> 35:33.638
[SPEAKER_00]: What I used to love in days of old, hold on a second.

35:35.292 --> 35:46.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Pardon me is that you could pay for your snacks while you're in the line and then just show your receipt like I'll have a hot dog in a cup and they just give it to you right that was efficiency.

35:47.218 --> 35:47.878
[SPEAKER_01]: I do like that.

35:48.639 --> 35:51.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you tried the warm chocolate chip cookie?

35:52.416 --> 35:54.177
[SPEAKER_01]: I did accidentally ordered it last week.

35:54.857 --> 35:57.197
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so good, it's very filling.

35:57.798 --> 35:59.258
[SPEAKER_01]: My mom was too big.

35:59.838 --> 36:02.819
[SPEAKER_00]: It was, my mom was with her sister at Costco.

36:02.839 --> 36:09.161
[SPEAKER_00]: A couple of weeks ago, and my aunt ordered the cookie and a lady came up, they're sitting at the picnic area.

36:09.221 --> 36:09.461
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

36:09.981 --> 36:11.762
[SPEAKER_00]: And she says, is the cookie good?

36:12.282 --> 36:16.343
[SPEAKER_00]: And my aunt wanted a broker off of peace and said, it's great here, try.

36:16.363 --> 36:19.484
[SPEAKER_00]: And my mom said, don't stay full lady.

36:22.440 --> 36:26.063
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it always asked you at the end, do you want the cookie to upsell?

36:26.083 --> 36:27.225
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I didn't know.

36:27.285 --> 36:27.985
[SPEAKER_01]: And I always hit no.

36:28.386 --> 36:30.688
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess I wasn't paying attention last week and I hit yes.

36:31.128 --> 36:32.950
[SPEAKER_00]: I think deep down you wanted that cookie.

36:33.510 --> 36:34.111
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess so.

36:34.992 --> 36:36.193
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I'm very excited.

36:36.213 --> 36:39.416
[SPEAKER_00]: And this all came up because I'm excited that they're bringing coke products back.

36:39.656 --> 36:39.876
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

36:40.136 --> 36:40.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, me too.

36:40.737 --> 36:42.358
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we're both pro coke.

36:43.339 --> 36:44.801
[SPEAKER_01]: I've walked out of restaurants for Pepsi.

36:45.749 --> 36:53.531
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I will be watching a football game with Kerry and see like a Pepsi add in the end zone and I'll say like, uh, Pepsi property and she'll go.

36:54.292 --> 36:56.032
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's it's discouraging.

36:56.092 --> 36:56.672
[SPEAKER_00]: It's no good.

36:56.692 --> 37:01.954
[SPEAKER_00]: Our VCU where I went to school and Julia went to school is a Pepsi college.

37:02.234 --> 37:03.334
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no coke on campus.

37:03.694 --> 37:04.895
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the problem we talk about.

37:05.655 --> 37:07.756
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the only problem with Taco Bell.

37:07.776 --> 37:08.256
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.

37:08.336 --> 37:08.676
[SPEAKER_00]: You're right.

37:09.576 --> 37:11.276
[SPEAKER_00]: We're so unhappy with what we have.

37:11.296 --> 37:15.617
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you ever buy the do you ever buy the Kirkland water for a quarter in the machine?

37:15.978 --> 37:16.518
[SPEAKER_00]: I have not.

37:16.738 --> 37:17.818
[SPEAKER_01]: I've looked at it.

37:18.058 --> 37:19.738
[SPEAKER_01]: I have not purchased it.

37:19.979 --> 37:23.940
[SPEAKER_00]: I do it because it doesn't need thing where it like goes up and it's very, it's worth a quarter.

37:23.960 --> 37:24.740
[SPEAKER_00]: It is more like a game than a

37:34.122 --> 37:50.296
[SPEAKER_00]: They renamed it what's it's story stories of you know what empty pepsis product I think that's pepsis best product right now they did a launch about a year and a half ago and I think it's pretty good but it's going to be gone now when you're leaving are there people that want you to buy air conditioners

37:50.791 --> 37:53.074
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and I always tell that.

37:53.094 --> 37:53.614
[SPEAKER_00]: I never do.

37:54.355 --> 37:55.757
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I always say I'm renting.

37:56.638 --> 37:58.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I think it's a way to do that.

37:58.360 --> 38:01.123
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a lie, but I'll get some off your back.

38:01.183 --> 38:01.403
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

38:01.924 --> 38:06.569
[SPEAKER_01]: You ever gone to the Costco eyeglasses or here in AIDS or.

38:06.629 --> 38:07.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at these.

38:07.410 --> 38:08.932
[SPEAKER_00]: These are Costco glasses, right?

38:08.952 --> 38:09.172
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

38:09.452 --> 38:09.733
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

38:10.273 --> 38:14.617
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't, you almost can't afford not to get your glasses there.

38:14.697 --> 38:22.383
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, I get my eyes checked by a doctor, and then I, because I'm not so sure I want any medical processes done, right, well that's my problem.

38:22.403 --> 38:26.046
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got an eye doctor in Costco, but I don't know about that.

38:26.366 --> 38:27.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not so sure.

38:27.146 --> 38:30.990
[SPEAKER_00]: I bring the prescription in and I found them to be very helpful.

38:31.170 --> 38:32.271
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that I think they're really good.

38:32.291 --> 38:38.535
[SPEAKER_00]: Now have you ever seen, and I never have, have you ever seen anyone as you exit, grinding their own coffee?

38:39.236 --> 38:39.917
[SPEAKER_00]: because there's a call.

38:39.957 --> 38:42.399
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're too long.

38:43.600 --> 38:44.861
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen them in use, you're right.

38:45.082 --> 38:48.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's good that you have two, so there's really no line.

38:48.385 --> 38:48.985
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no wait.

38:49.426 --> 38:50.867
[SPEAKER_01]: It's right next to the tire center.

38:52.048 --> 38:53.169
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, exactly.

38:53.590 --> 38:58.014
[SPEAKER_00]: And then as you leave, do you have, this is very petty of me.

38:58.475 --> 39:01.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you have any people that check your receipt that you avoid?

39:02.348 --> 39:04.130
[SPEAKER_00]: Because we usually have two receipt checkers.

39:04.350 --> 39:08.793
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I do the little eyeball check about which one's faster and so that's the way.

39:08.874 --> 39:10.875
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's not a person I know to avoid.

39:10.895 --> 39:13.037
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you ever get a smiley face on your receipt?

39:14.018 --> 39:16.720
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I get the line through receipt receipts.

39:17.221 --> 39:21.424
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that because it's a newer Costco, maybe they're going to earn that.

39:21.464 --> 39:25.428
[SPEAKER_00]: But I always feel like I've accomplished something when they give me the smiley face.

39:25.448 --> 39:28.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have a photo of yourself or in your Costco card?

39:29.111 --> 39:29.371
[SPEAKER_01]: I do.

39:29.391 --> 39:30.472
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not.

39:31.535 --> 39:57.164
[SPEAKER_01]: why I don't because they tell me to keep going to customer service and I don't want to go to customer service hold on one second so show you said photo when I have to go in and show my Costco card they always ask for my driver's license as well well that's nice so I but you really should get your you really should get your photo on it here it is right on the top it's just too tight because I jammed it in there hold on

40:02.861 --> 40:09.586
[SPEAKER_00]: Even here is my, and by the way, I should have mentioned this executive member, oh, I'm looking to remember as well.

40:09.706 --> 40:11.968
[SPEAKER_01]: So we get a nice check in February.

40:12.188 --> 40:18.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly to cover the fee isn't that guy happy right though, you know what, let me go ahead and never up that barcode.

40:20.023 --> 40:22.264
[SPEAKER_00]: See, there's a happy guy right there in the glare.

40:22.764 --> 40:24.884
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you see, there's my picture.

40:25.024 --> 40:26.284
[SPEAKER_00]: That's about 80 pounds.

40:26.344 --> 40:27.125
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's great.

40:27.385 --> 40:28.345
[SPEAKER_01]: See, here's my app.

40:28.565 --> 40:33.506
[SPEAKER_01]: And what's great is a nice worn-in at the top, saying, visit the customer service to get your picture taken.

40:34.726 --> 40:39.947
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you should go to customer service with your own picture, like an 8 by 10 glossy, and say can you use this?

40:40.047 --> 40:40.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:41.008 --> 40:43.048
[SPEAKER_00]: And then to the, oh, and also,

40:44.252 --> 40:46.534
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have more than, say, three items.

40:47.494 --> 40:48.855
[SPEAKER_00]: And why are you laughing?

40:49.296 --> 40:50.697
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I just looked at the time.

40:51.117 --> 40:54.680
[SPEAKER_01]: And I remember like, oh, this will be a 20-minute Costco episode.

40:54.780 --> 40:55.961
[SPEAKER_00]: We got it, we got to wind it up.

40:56.141 --> 40:57.662
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's turning into a full episode.

40:58.002 --> 41:03.086
[SPEAKER_00]: When they're checking you out and the lady or the gentleman who's assisting you says, do you want a box?

41:03.246 --> 41:03.807
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't ask that.

41:03.887 --> 41:04.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Just give me a box.

41:05.328 --> 41:06.709
[SPEAKER_00]: I want a box to put my thing.

41:06.749 --> 41:08.850
[SPEAKER_00]: They ask you, yes, do you want a box?

41:08.870 --> 41:10.271
[SPEAKER_01]: No, we have a big, we have a big band.

41:10.291 --> 41:12.093
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can just take the boxes and see what you're walking out.

41:12.513 --> 41:16.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, you see, in ours, if you say, yes, they'll actually pack it in a box for you.

41:16.779 --> 41:17.419
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.

41:17.439 --> 41:17.920
[SPEAKER_01]: That's nice.

41:17.980 --> 41:18.981
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I just take a card.

41:19.102 --> 41:20.043
[SPEAKER_01]: Take a look.

41:20.303 --> 41:24.328
[SPEAKER_00]: Always give me a box and then on to another adventure.

41:24.629 --> 41:26.791
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this has been a good Costco episode.

41:26.831 --> 41:27.693
[SPEAKER_01]: You have a gas station.

41:28.546 --> 41:30.469
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and I will use it occasionally.

41:30.509 --> 41:32.011
[SPEAKER_00]: If time is not of the essence.

41:32.252 --> 41:33.774
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the problem with the gas station.

41:33.834 --> 41:35.256
[SPEAKER_01]: It's always got long lines.

41:36.057 --> 41:36.418
[SPEAKER_00]: It does.

41:37.359 --> 41:42.867
[SPEAKER_00]: And also, this is a lazy guy to some, but I think it's actually quite smart of me.

41:43.608 --> 41:48.271
[SPEAKER_00]: They finally built a gas station on the right side when I come home from anywhere.

41:48.711 --> 41:50.573
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I tend to dream of that.

41:50.593 --> 41:53.054
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so nice to have it on the right side.

41:53.235 --> 41:54.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's the worst.

41:54.695 --> 41:57.157
[SPEAKER_00]: The last thing you need to do is deal with all that.

41:57.597 --> 42:00.780
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Josh, we are truly the same person.

42:01.720 --> 42:04.825
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I think that's what we've decided.

42:04.845 --> 42:10.572
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was good that my co-voided this episode And you know what let's not just go.

42:11.113 --> 42:18.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, he'd hate he'd hate it gas station on the right side But I think this is also a good example of what we get to do with TMOs extra

42:19.170 --> 42:21.431
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it and will be another one real soon.

42:21.771 --> 42:28.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Hope you all enjoyed it and thank you all for subscribing to the bonus show because if you don't, you don't get this bonus content.

42:28.953 --> 42:29.893
[SPEAKER_00]: So thank you for doing that.

42:29.933 --> 42:34.514
[SPEAKER_00]: That not only is, you know, don't think of the bonus show as paying for one extra show.

42:35.034 --> 42:43.736
[SPEAKER_00]: Think of the bonus show as the way or the bonus subscription as the way you support the show operating day today and we really appreciate it.

42:43.776 --> 42:44.337
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's awesome.

42:44.757 --> 42:45.497
[SPEAKER_00]: Well thank you Josh.

42:46.677 --> 42:47.158
[SPEAKER_00]: sounds good.

42:47.618 --> 42:49.040
[SPEAKER_00]: We will talk to you guys later.

42:49.380 --> 42:54.406
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember, this is TMO as extra with one exclamation point and now are produced closing.

42:54.826 --> 42:57.129
[SPEAKER_02]: Michael Merra, radio entertainment.
