<v Speaker 2>of you who votes send you to jr R's October

21
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Fest this weekend. All right, let's get that done. On

22
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 2>the Facebook page Taco, a lot of you wondering where

23
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>the hell is Taco. I thought you guys are on

24
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 2>vacation last week, Lynch, you're back. What about Taco. Well,

25
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>he was supposed to be back today. Then I guess

26
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>he had a snaff foo trying to get home from

27
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 2>the Keys, which is where he apparently went. This weekend

28
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>fantasy fest is going on down there. I guess he

29
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>flew rather than take his vehicle, so he went to

30
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>get to the airport, got stuck in traffic, missed his flight,

31
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>says he'll try to get back today.

32
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.959
<v Speaker 3>So that's what I know. That's what I know with that.

33
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Let's get into some idiotology.

34
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, Halloween, we'll counting down the days to Halloween.

35
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Trick or treat? Right, have you got a Halloween candy

36
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>yet this year? If you haven't, get ready for sticker

37
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 2>shock Seriously, if you normally hand out, especially chocolate based

38
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Halloween candy, seriously. The prices of skyrocketed on a lot

39
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 2>of candy this year. There is a cocoa shortage. The

40
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 2>fact the price of cocoa has more than doubled since

41
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the start of the year due to severe weather and

42
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 2>trouts in West Africa, which is responsible for about seventy

43
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>percent of the world's cocoa supply, so what's happening here?

44
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Candy companies are compensating by shrinking bags and raising prices.

45
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Shrink flation, Yeah, don't you just love it.

46
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 2>There's also talk of some of these companies using less

47
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 2>chocolate in some of their products. You might see them

48
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>swapping out a layer of chocolate for other fillings like

49
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>wafers or nuts, or they might fill their variety packs

50
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 2>with candies that don't require as much chocolate. A lot

51
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>of the candy companies right now are pushing their non

52
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>chocolate candies more than they ever would before. Take, for example,

53
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 2>the people who run Mars. They say they've expanded their

54
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 2>fruity and gummy candy lines because young people like that stuff,

55
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 2>but in reality, it's because chocolate prices have a lot

56
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>to do with it, and a lot of variety packs

57
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>have also shrunk. You might be paying the same as

58
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 2>you did last year, but be getting less candy in

59
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>each bag. Add it all up, it means your kid's

60
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Halloween hall might have a lot more fruity candy in

61
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>it this year and fewer of the chocolate based goodies

62
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 2>that we like to poach.

63
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.479
<v Speaker 3>From her kids.

64
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.719
<v Speaker 2>Right, I guess you could take this however you want,

65
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, a strictly financial situation.

66
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 3>It sucks.

67
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 2>It's funny because my wife last night, she went to

68
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the grocery store, came home with the Halloween candy.

69
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 3>She goes, man, this is ridiculous. I what pretty much she.

70
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Just spewed out in them, you know, basically what I

71
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>just shared with you. Specifically, She's like, yeah, everything is like,

72
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>you're super expensive. She goes, I just bought X amount.

73
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>And when it's gone, it's gone. It's like, all right,

74
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>all right, well me shutting her down early, I guess,

75
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 2>so just be prepared for that if you haven't got

76
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 2>your Halloween candy yet. New survey ask people here in

77
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 2>the United States how you would do if you would

78
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>have to take a driving test right now driving test.

79
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Forty percent of the respondents are confident they could ace

80
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 2>it just forty percent. Are you in that forty percent

81
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 2>of you going, I don't know. It's been a while

82
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>since I've had to take the driver's exam. It's not

83
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 2>just knowing the rules of the road though, when it

84
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>comes to this stuff. A lot of they asked about

85
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 2>other things about driving habits. Many Americans we don't even

86
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>know our own vehicles. Average driver understands about seventy eight

87
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 2>percent of their dashboard indicators and warning lights. Most people

88
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>know what the oil light and check engine lights are

89
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>when those go off, but less than half could identify

90
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 2>the tire pressure lights and the brake system warning.

91
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>A lot of.

92
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.199
<v Speaker 2>People say that I'll just google it when a warning

93
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 2>light comes on, I don't know what it means, which well, yeah, sure.

94
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And then there's the fifteen percent who admitted that they've

95
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>never even looked at their car's owner's manual.

96
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to.

97
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Think I.

98
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 3>Have looked at my Actually I have looked at my

99
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:36.079
<v Speaker 3>I had to look.

100
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Something up in there about tire pressure that I couldn't

101
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.519
<v Speaker 2>We couldn't read it on the side of the tire.

102
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't in the door jam at least it wasn't legible,

103
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>So I found it in the Owner's man So forty

104
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>percent think they could ace the driver's exam, which means

105
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>about sixty percent of us would be a roll of

106
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 2>the dice. And finally there's this when it comes to

107
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 2>the band tool, right, you think, well, you know, kind

108
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 2>of cutting edge type stuff. They've always been kind of

109
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>ahead of their time musically right, and they've been around

110
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>quite a while at this point. Now, Maynard James Keenan

111
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>is coming clean and making the admission that he and

112
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 2>his bandmates made quite a mistake for ignoring digital platforms

113
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>for about twenty years. Maynard thinks it was a mistake

114
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 2>for the band to hold out as long as they did.

115
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to quote what he said here, because we

116
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>missed twenty years of reaching two generations of people to

117
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>understand what it is that we do in a format

118
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 2>that you know. I I don't like listening to MP three,

119
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.480
<v Speaker 2>so I listened to CDs and vinyl And that.

120
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 3>Was his his take.

121
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>That's he listens to CDs and vinylly doesn't not a

122
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>fan of MP three's, which when we talk digital platforms,

123
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 2>that's where that all started. And that's there were certain

124
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>bandshore like Nope, not going there too was one of them,

125
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.800
<v Speaker 2>he says, now looking back, that would have been the

126
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 2>gateway to get them into the vinyl and the CDs,

127
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like we made a mistake not being

128
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.279
<v Speaker 2>on those mediums for twenty years. And then the final

129
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.639
<v Speaker 2>nail was he said, my son just finished law school

130
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and his classmates have no idea who we are. They

131
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 2>just weren't exposed to it because it's not on their phone. Hey,

132
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 2>if you're ad her near my age, you get this right.

133
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 2>You totally get where Maynard's coming from because a lot

134
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 2>of us were the same way.

135
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:44.399
<v Speaker 3>No, just old school, that's all good.

136
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.279
<v Speaker 2>It might have taken a little while too, but you

137
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.199
<v Speaker 2>go down a few generations, it's the exact opposite. They

138
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>brought up knowing what they know. You can't blame them

139
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.120
<v Speaker 2>for that. Although I think what he's really getting at

140
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.839
<v Speaker 2>here is we've missed a lot of financial opportunity along

141
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:00.199
<v Speaker 2>with way.

142
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 3>They're not not.

143
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.959
<v Speaker 2>The tool or any of those guys in that band

144
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 2>are hurting for money, right, So I mean, come on.

145
