Jennifer 8 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.039 hit me up on X and said, you are wrong. 9 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.679 I was reading from a story that only talked about 10 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:39.240 Kamala Harris, former vice president, visiting the Palisades, and she 11 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.240 corrected me with an LA Time story. The former vice 12 00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.119 president Kamala harris first stop actually in California was the 13 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:51.960 Alta DA fire zone, and her husband, Doug m Hoff, 14 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.840 was met with volunteers working for World Central Kitchen and 15 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.679 handed out food. So I apologize, I stand corrected, and 16 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.799 I shouldn't have opened up my gaping And by the way, 17 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:03.359 without the. 18 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.519 Fact, why did he work with World Kitchen? She's not 19 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.079 going to run again. Why would he do that? 20 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:11.760 Well, because maybe they're decent people. 21 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.480 Oh okay, I don't understand that. 22 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.120 So you look confused. A correction is when we actually 23 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:21.280 admit when we're wrong. 24 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:22.400 Huh. 25 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:27.079 We don't just gloss over it, Okay, all right, So thanks, Jennifer, 26 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:28.359 I appreciate that now. 27 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.319 Admitting you're wrong and maybe not making the best move 28 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.239 in the world is having bought a super Bowl ticket 29 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:43.599 a week ago, because super Bowl ticket prices have dropped precipitously. 30 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:51.359 When since last Friday you would spend for the nose 31 00:01:51.719 --> 00:02:00.359 bleed seats eight dollars, today that same ticket is thirty 32 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.519 five hundred dollars forty five percent drop since Friday. 33 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:06.799 Hmmm. 34 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.319 Ticket reseller stub Hub sees a similar trend. By the way, 35 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.280 the average ticket price is down sixteen percent from last year, 36 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.039 which is hundreds of dollars less than just a week ago. 37 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.479 And the price of the and the price is low, low, 38 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.039 and so sales have gone up. So why would you 39 00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.240 think the interest in the super Bowl is lower is 40 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:36.560 less this year? Well because people are a little Kansas 41 00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:41.479 City just a little sick of them. 42 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.879 Yeah, just there's just a yeah, there's too much of them. 43 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.800 Third time out. I mean it's kind of neat. It's wonderful, 44 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:50.680 but there's fatigue, there is it? 45 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.360 One of them dating Taylor Swift? Yeah, yeah, I seem 46 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:56.759 to remember hearing something. 47 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.719 Something about that and this year, you know, no one's 48 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.159 that excited last year, or was she going to show up? 49 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.520 Was she not going to show up? 50 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.560 Travis Kelcey remember when he threw blew the kissing her 51 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.879 and did the the heart sign after either scoring or 52 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.759 a great pass. Uh, you're not going to see this year. 53 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:18.719 You're not gonna see Taylor swift to which he did 54 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.840 last year. And that's flashed the camera and it says 55 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:26.120 I love Travis. That is not going to happen, and 56 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:30.719 people just don't care as much. Uh, there is I 57 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.560 would think it'd be the other way around to watch 58 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.960 a three go and the three peat of Kansas City winning. 59 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.800 But his ego a three go yeah, a three peat. Yeah, 60 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.360 it's a three go go three. 61 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.960 Go for three. I make up these words. 62 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.599 You are such a goofy pass I know. 63 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:53.000 Wow. 64 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.520 Yeah. So the novelty of that relationship is kind of 65 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.039 wearing off. Searches of the word super Bowl on Google 66 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:08.439 Interest is down last year. Well, super Bowl searches jump 67 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.759 each year, but at this point last year, this is 68 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.120 twenty five percent down. 69 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.800 Now, how much does a commercial cost? 70 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.959 Oh? Yeah, and they always they always tout the most 71 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.160 expensive commercial at the best part of the game. 72 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:30.040 Commercials at the. 73 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.800 Very end of the game are nowhere near as expensive 74 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.199 as the commercials at the beginning of the game because obviously, 75 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:40.560 if there's a blowout, people just stop watching. Between seven 76 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:45.560 and eight million dollars for a thirty second commercial, But 77 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.600 wait a minute, there's less interest, Fewer people are going 78 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.759 to watch the game. How can the price of commercials 79 00:04:54.279 --> 00:05:00.079 keep on going up because for the first time in years, 80 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.720 people are watching. 81 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:03.240 For the commercials. 82 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.879 Remember it used to be where you'd watch a Super 83 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:07.800 Bowl and you'd be as interested in the. 84 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.480 Commercials as you would be in the game. 85 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.199 And if the game was either boring and there was 86 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.279 no scores or there was a relative blowout, people would 87 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.160 stay for the commercials. They go into the bathroom or 88 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.519 grab a snack and miss the first part of the game, 89 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.879 but you don't miss the commercials. 90 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:26.920 That kind of. 91 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:32.279 Interest is back because of the I guess the anticipation 92 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.279 of great commercials. 93 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:33.959 That's the buzz. 94 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.319 You know. Some phenomenal commercials have hit the Super Bowl. 95 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:41.519 Remember the nineteen eighty four commercial Apple. I mean, to 96 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.600 this day that may be considered the most iconic commercial 97 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:49.120 that has ever been seen on TV. In general, much 98 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.319 less a Super Bowl. So here's what we do every year. 99 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.879 I watched the commercials. We come back on Monday, we 100 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:01.839 grade the commercials and do a little survey right here. 101 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.839 So I pretend that Amy and' neil and an actually 102 00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.319 count as they say, as I say, so, what kind 103 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.639 of commercials did you like? And I snore through that 104 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.519 when you talk. But we're going to be doing that 105 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:16.600 topic on Monday. 106 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.360 Okay. Orange juice. 107 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:25.120 The demise of American orange juice, Now, think back, wasn't 108 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.560 too long ago. Matter of fact, it still maybe to 109 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.160 a smaller degree. In your family, orange juices was always 110 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:36.199 is always part of the breakfast table. Affordable, great tasting, 111 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.560 of course, full of vitamin C and levels of sugar. 112 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.079 People tend to ignore that, or they certainly did in 113 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:48.279 the past. But it's not so cheap anymore, not so affordable. Tropicana, 114 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.839 one of the worst orange juices out there, has shrunk 115 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.759 the bottles raised its prices in recent years. Since twenty nineteen, 116 00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.519 the price of concentrate has increased by about eighty percent. 117 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.279 Inflation has not gone up eighty percent in five years now. 118 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.680 Some of the cost is inflation. The other costs and 119 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.800 this is where. Oh my god, I'm just saying if 120 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.879 I said, we're gonna be Trump free if a certain 121 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:23.079 president ever goes through with the tariffs threatened against Mexico 122 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:25.759 and Canada, which we don't know if that's going to 123 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:31.160 happen or not. Orange juice, which usually came from Florida, 124 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.040 I remember orange juice was always Florida. 125 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:34.800 It's not growing up. 126 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:35.639 Though it was a big deal. 127 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.439 It's not from Florida anymore. 128 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:43.199 Orange juice is really a mix of international oranges. 129 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:47.160 It's a blend. It's like whiskey. It's about it's like wine. 130 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:49.279 And even the. 131 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.519 Biggest orange juice producer, of the biggest orange producers aren't 132 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:58.040 growing as much fruit. So the era of orange juice 133 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:02.480 ubiquity coming to an end, much like the dodo bird. 134 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.879 So why let's go through some of the reasons. There's 135 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.480 something called citrus greening. Sounds pretty benign, doesn't it. Well, 136 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:17.439 these are actually Asian little bugs that feed on orange trees, 137 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.279 and they inject bacteria that floods the veins and the 138 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.160 tree dies. The fruit while the tree is still producing 139 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.439 fruit becomes rancid, misshapened, discolored, and within a couple three 140 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.399 years you've got a dead tree out of your hand. 141 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.399 And around the world, millions of acres of orange trees 142 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:43.600 have succumbed gone and in the past twenty years, production 143 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.200 in Florida's orange grows, which once supplied the majority of 144 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:53.440 the juice that was consumed in America. Just like Neil said, 145 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:58.879 it was made from Florida oranges. I remember those commercials. 146 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.399 What was her name that was the spokesperson of the 147 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:07.879 orange juice something Brian, Remember her, Anita Bryant, who was 148 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:14.240 the most anti gay human being that has probably ever lived. Yeah, 149 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.600 those were the days. No, she got a toss for that. 150 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.240 And in the meantime, really yeah, I think so. 151 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.879 We can look that up. Yeah, I think so. 152 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.240 And she was representing fruit. 153 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.720 Yeah, that's very funny, very good. 154 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.039 And so just to give you an idea of the 155 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:35.600 past twenty years, production of oranges from the groves have 156 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.559 declined ninety two percent. 157 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.759 It's almost done or well orange groves. 158 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.399 When I came to the United States in the mid fifties, 159 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.799 the San Frano Valley ended at Recipa Boulevard, it ended 160 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:55.240 at Resida. Beyond that it was all orange groves. Today 161 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:06.360 it ends what Nebraska the Sanferano Valley. So and what's 162 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.639 a little left in Those orange groves in Florida all 163 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.799 got hit with hurricanes, so oranges were flying all over 164 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:14.240 the place. 165 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.000 It's a different world. So you know what's happening. Oh 166 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:19.120 there's another one too. 167 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.639 People that have orange groves or had them companies sold 168 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.000 them off to developers because you made a whole lot 169 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:29.960 more money selling it off. So tropicanas suppliers, the big 170 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.480 one is just said up, we're done. We're not going 171 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:38.279 to invest in our citrus operations and once the current 172 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.360 crop is done, we're out of business. 173 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:40.639 There. 174 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:47.600 Citrus screening has no cure. So the fruit supply is 175 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:52.080 making orange juice harder to produce, more expensive, And so 176 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.120 what where do we get an orange juice? Well, it's 177 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.759 no longer Florida, it's Mexico, Brazil. I mean there's still 178 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:02.360 a little tiny bit Florida orange juice, but not very much. 179 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:08.759 Citrus greening hasn't hit as hard as in Florida. Florida 180 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:13.559 is the world champion of citrus greening. They about forty 181 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.480 percent of flora of Mexico and Brazil have been hit 182 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:24.039 with citrus greening. Florida ninety five percent, and that supply 183 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.360 is uncertain. So the oranges that are coming in the 184 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.639 only place that doesn't have citrus greening is Europe and Australia. However, 185 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:39.200 bringing in the fruit from those countries is not the 186 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.440 same because we have different tastes. For example, European orange 187 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:46.200 juice with their oranges is more tart, it's not as sweet. 188 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:51.399 So juice here, well, we all have a sweet tooth 189 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.440 doesn't work in Europe and they have the fruit that 190 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.320 generates that supplies this kind of orange us. So are 191 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.360 we going to get more orange juice that doesn't taste 192 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.720 as good? You know what the answer is, We're not 193 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:10.200 going to be drinking orange juice very much, too expensive, 194 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.360 tastes different, So the American staple of orange juice on 195 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:17.759 the table is not going to happen. Also, even if 196 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:20.559 none of that was happening, you know, the sugar content 197 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:26.679 and people drinking tea and a lot more coffee, and yeah, 198 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.679 I don't drink orange juice for breakfast, even when it 199 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.759 was around. 200 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.000 Oh not right after you brush your teeth. Oh that's 201 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:33.480 the list. 202 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:38.320 It is also orange juice concentrate, orange from oranges from 203 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.720 concentrate is disgusting. 204 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.120 Stuff. 205 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:44.120 Orange juice has to be fresh squeezed with the pulp. 206 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.840 I grew up with the concentrate. I remember that, and 207 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.399 you peel open the can. 208 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.919 Yeah, oh that's disgusting. 209 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:57.759 Yeah, well we were we were poor, so yeah, that's 210 00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.279 how we got it. 211 00:12:58.320 --> 00:12:59.159 Oh yeah I did. 212 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.120 We were not richie, that's how we got and I 213 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.960 like it. You go to the store like Gelson's particularly, 214 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.240 and they have the fresh squeezed orange juice that they 215 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:14.720 have those machines that look like automatic baseball machines, pitching machines. 216 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.440 So you stay the hell out of the way because 217 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.000 the orange just just fly out. No, those are broken machines. 218 00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.360 Those don't work. All right, that's a visual. That's a visual. 219 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.399 We're done, thanks for that. No, you're welcome, You're welcome, 220 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:29.320 all right. A story. 221 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:30.240 I don't know. 222 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.399 I'm not a Starbucks fans. I don't know if you are. 223 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.600 I find the coffee a little bitter. But a lot 224 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:39.080 of people are big fans of Starbucks. And it used 225 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.200 to be that the badistas. And I think that's both 226 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.559 male and female. The term bardista. Yes there is no 227 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:51.639 male turn okay. Would Baristo would write little affirmations, not 228 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:56.240 just your name on the cup, but also affirmations like 229 00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.960 have a good day, hello again for regulars, well wishes, 230 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.600 you know all that stuff. Well, the new CEO is 231 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:10.720 bringing that back. Starbucks has gone down in sales for 232 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.840 the fourth straight quarter, and so they brought in a 233 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.759 new CEO who says we're going to bring that back 234 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.399 because we have to connect with people again. We cannot 235 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.159 just be seen as a drive through. We we have. 236 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.519 A connection and we have to keep on doing that. 237 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.279 So oh, the condiment station, remember they took those away 238 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.360 where they had the sweetener and all that. They're bringing 239 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.600 that back because again connecting with customers. 240 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:43.360 So I don't know about this. 241 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.840 I've gone to Starbucks before and I thought of those 242 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.559 little affirmations were just trashed. It's always the same ones. 243 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:52.559 Do they boristas really mean it? 244 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.480 Police? You know they were asked to do that. It 245 00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.440 wasn't real. There was one. 246 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.840 Oh, and there were politics like race Together was one 247 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.320 of them, which means all the races should join together. 248 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.080 It's just little positive. 249 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:14.240 Stuff about society and who are all the same and 250 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:18.320 we all love each other. Uh yeah, yeah, pretty vomitous. 251 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:23.240 So now you know it's a new politics. I'm willing 252 00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.639 to say, and some uh, some of these baristas say, 253 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:29.960 you know, you can't make nice to uh, for example 254 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:36.879 Valentine's Day to a man because of the possibility of 255 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:40.159 it being interpreted as flirtation. You know, for example, you 256 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.360 have a bardista who is writing, gets a cup of 257 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:47.720 coffee and she writes Fred quite a few quite the 258 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:48.679 fruit package. 259 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:49.960 You have, Fred. You can't do that anymore. 260 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:55.879 And the politics of today also is very different. Uh. 261 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.799 The any positive view of. 262 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:04.159 Racial equal of course is gone under the administration. So 263 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:09.679 you're gonna see little affirmations white is right. That is 264 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.159 what's going to happen. This is why I would last 265 00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.200 one day. No, I wouldn't last a shift, would. 266 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.320 I making coffee for people? 267 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:20.120 Yeah? No, Yeah. 268 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:24.360 You couldn't work anywhere else. You and John Cobalt could 269 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.399 couldn't get jobs anywhere else in life. This is it. 270 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.159 I always make fun of John, not so much me, 271 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:35.360 because I actually I was a lawyer and maybe I 272 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:36.639 could go back to practicing. 273 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:39.200 I don't know. Lawyer is lawyer ish? 274 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:42.039 John I make fun of because all he has ever 275 00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:44.960 done is radio from the time he was very young 276 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:49.720 and sports writer. Oh yeah, okay, okay, I'll buy that. 277 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.919 But I've always over the years, I've always said that 278 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:54.600 John couldn't sell pencils on a street corner if he 279 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.879 wasn't in radio, which is the way I describe a 280 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.879 lot of people, a lot of them radio. Yes, no, 281 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.079 God bless you, but you're gonna see Starbucks coming back 282 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.440 with those little oh have a good day, we love you, 283 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.359 and the names whatever. For example, will I give my name, 284 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:15.400 I always say Bill with three l's. 285 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.200 And go huh huh. 286 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.279 Also leave your name for if you go to a 287 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:24.400 restaurant and you leave your name for the reservation and 288 00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:27.839 they call your name, I always say it's Bruno Hotman, 289 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.319 and you'll have the person announcing, you know, on the 290 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.279 microphone or on the speaker. 291 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:37.640 Reservations for Bruno Bruno Hotman. 292 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.759 Now occasionally someone will actually know what I'm talking about. 293 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.880 He was the guy that was electrocuted for kidnapping the 294 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:49.880 Lindbergh baby, and not too many people are aware of that. 295 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.839 But when someone is a history buff, I hear someone 296 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:55.799 just burst out in laughter. 297 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.599 Well a one person, Yeah, it's worth every bit. You 298 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.000 sound like a real treat. You don't put the name 299 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.359 pot in there. And then they go pot pot party 300 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.440 of five pot party, A five. 301 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:14.039 No, No, that's no, no, yeah, that's too Monday. 302 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.359 It's no. All right, guys, we're done with that. All right. 303 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.160 So every year, what's the number one resolution? Lose weight 304 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.599 and go to the gym. Usually the gym is a 305 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.119 little bit higher in terms of number of people who 306 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.079 say this is what I'm gonna do for New Year's. 307 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:37.359 And I'll tell you, the gym's love this because the 308 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.039 number of people who sign up and pay their bucks 309 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.799 is astronomical. And the gyms are okay because after a 310 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.559 month or two, guess what, all those people are gone. 311 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:54.519 Now the first month, the people that use the gym regularly. 312 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:57.039 There are two types of people. People go to the gym's. 313 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.920 Regularly and people that sign up and go for the 314 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:05.759 first month and it is not fun. And so the 315 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:08.480 Wall Street Journal did this article and interviewed a bunch 316 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.079 of gym goers and just folks who are regular gym 317 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.759 goers and said, so what do you think. So one 318 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:18.119 of the gals Heshi Brodie. No, he's a guy, Heshi. 319 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.319 I think he's Jewish. He lives in New York. And 320 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.160 he said, it's packed. Your favorite locker is taken. The 321 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:28.599 treadmills are full, you have to wait in line for 322 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.279 the shower. 323 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:32.119 And that's he talks of his gym in Brooklyn. 324 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.839 He goes on to say, listen, I respect your New 325 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:42.039 Year's resolution, but I'll be impressed if you're still showing 326 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:46.960 up in February. So we're into February seventh, most of 327 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.559 those people are gone, and twenty five. 328 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.319 No different than every year. 329 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:57.880 Fitness is on the list of New Year's resolutions. Exercising 330 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.759 was the most popular resolution this year. And this was 331 00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:06.119 a survey conducted by Health and Fitness Association twenty four 332 00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:10.920 Hour Fitness that they said the foot traffic in January 333 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:18.559 has already exceeded all forecasts and expectations. Marlena Rodriguez was interviewed, 334 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:23.200 and she's in Fort Myers, Florida. Most days she lives 335 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.359 swights or she spins, and I mean to go into that. 336 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.799 She's very small, very petite. 337 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:32.920 During the month of January, she's lucky if she can 338 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:34.759 find parking classes booked. 339 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:37.480 Getting a spot on the machine is a sport of 340 00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.160 its own. Suddenly everyone wants to work out. It's really 341 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:43.119 frustrating when you go every day and it's not just 342 00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:45.000 the number of people who go. 343 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:46.200 It's what they do. 344 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.319 There is I've been to the gym and I was 345 00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:51.640 a regular gym goer and I stopped because I was 346 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.720 moving next week, next week, next week, next week, by 347 00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:59.359 the way, this week truly, And so I'm hooking up 348 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:02.200 with a gym because yeah, you. 349 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.839 Know, I want to be in reasonable shape. 350 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.319 And what she says newcomers don't wipe their sweat off 351 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:11.599 the machines when they finish. They use the emergency stop 352 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:13.880 button to end the session on the treadmill. 353 00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:15.160 They don't just turn it off. 354 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:22.759 Phones at the gym, people are videoing themselves for Instagram, 355 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:31.039 and people just sit there watching TV. Ryan Scott was 356 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:37.279 interviewed and he's forty three, and he said big screens 357 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:38.680 are a big problem. 358 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.079 People watch the TVs that are there. 359 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:47.279 So after a treadmill fight they had and the reason 360 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:52.240 was that he watched the man stand and stand in front. 361 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:53.079 Of the TV. 362 00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:57.039 At the weight machine and no one could get there 363 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:02.279 and he didn't even bother. It's Jim etiquette, and so 364 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.720 how do you handle this, Well, it's real, it's real 365 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:12.440 simple according to most Jim goers, regular gym goers, and 366 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:16.279 that is it comes down to respect and awareness for 367 00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:21.559 people around you, which I have no idea how that works. 368 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.839 It is simply not something in my wheelhouse. But I 369 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:31.519 have experienced the same thing. Oh here's another one. There's 370 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:36.720 actually a book of actually a website of Jim etiquette. 371 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.200 In first order of business, if you can lift all 372 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:43.680 that weight, you can put pick it up and put 373 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:48.680 it back. That is a big one. Leaving the barbells 374 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:54.559 on the floor. All right, I'll buy that, sure, fair enough, 375 00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:58.640 Jim etiquette. And even I get really pissed off because 376 00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:01.160 I've been to the gym, and this is why I 377 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.839 go to these small, smaller gyms. I don't go to 378 00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:06.480 the big gyms twenty four hour fitness. First of all, 379 00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.920 they're very expensive compared to small gyms that buy used, 380 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:16.160 crappy equipment and small numbers of them, so I go there. Also, 381 00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:21.640 I can't take the hard bodies. I cannot watching those 382 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.839 people in their twenties who have not six packs but 383 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:26.759 twelve packs. 384 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:27.640 They're abs. 385 00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.880 So I go to the gyms where people are fat, 386 00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:35.720 out of shape. So I feel a little bit better, 387 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.799 you know when I feel and I've got body dysmorphia 388 00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:44.000 having been huge. My whole life, and I'm feeling really 389 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:46.119 fat and some guy who weighs four hundred pounds is 390 00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:46.599 next to me. 391 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:48.920 That makes me feel good. 392 00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:49.920 Do you mock them? 393 00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:50.160 Oh? 394 00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:54.079 Yeah, get out the nautile is fatty. 395 00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:58.039 No, I don't say that. I just say, hey, you 396 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.039 lose a couple of pounds. What do you think? Wow, 397 00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:03.720 that machine's gonna break you gotta be pretty careful. 398 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:05.640 Yeah, I'm uh. I've been asked. 399 00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:07.920 It hurts my feelings when you do that. By the way, Oh, 400 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:08.200 I just. 401 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:13.279
