Debate on Discounts for Seniors vs. Youth
00:02:27
Speaker
Let's talk about our future here. We got some senior citizen discounts coming out. Yeah. We got some, the world baseball classic is going on. One of my favorite events. We're to talk about a burger CEOs. ah Got some other fun things for you later as well. So ah Rob, let's start it off. Let's talk about the senior citizen discounts. Oh, so this is a point that I heard on the internet. Now here, hear me out.
00:02:51
Speaker
st Senior citizens get discounts. you know You go to your local Golden Corral and you get a little discount. And um someone made the point that shouldn't it be like 20s, middle-aged people that should get the discounts?
00:03:10
Speaker
The senior citizens have all the money. and And you know who else he gets a discount? Kids. because And that makes sense because they they they're not making money yet. They're a kid. So they eat free. and so i see but I see your take on this. And senior citizens do not have the money like you think they do.
Fast Food CEOs and Viral Videos
00:03:33
Speaker
A lot of them are a lot ah not ah some of them have rich. Yes, yes, but that doesn't mean they're surviving. I mean, a lot of them are on fixed incomes. A lot of them, you know, live live paycheck to paycheck and they struggle all the time. So...
00:03:50
Speaker
Yeah, they deserve that 10% discount at Dunkin' Donuts. That was but when my first job at Dunkin', you know, coming to the drive-thru. Can I get a medium coffee milk or two, Splendor?
00:04:01
Speaker
Oh, I'm a senior. Yeah, no shit, sweetheart. Okay, we know. Yeah, but- You know what, but if they're assholes, they I feel like you should be allowed to get rid of the discount. No, I mean, you know, they worked hard all their life. You know, give them a 10% off. It makes them happy.
00:04:15
Speaker
Ron, are you are you in old people's pockets right now? No, I'm not. Did they buy you out? No, no, they didn't. They got in your ear, didn't they? i'd say You know, it's a perk when you get older. You don't get many things. Maybe it's because, you know, my parents are older. You know, dad's retired disability. Mom retired last year. Mom's fine. You know, she's hum you know, I take care of my wife wife's grandma. It's like, I see a lot of the elderly. So it's like, I know they struggle. I know they have issues. So yeah. And, and very little sometimes makes them happy. So that 10% discount that that senior citizen discount is a,
00:04:52
Speaker
It's a you know, makes them feel good. Save it a little. Okay. Okay. I can see. However, however, we should get a millennial discount because we've gone through so much fucking shit. I know. something And I'm a millennial. I should get a 45% discount. Right. That's what i'm saying. Like something like that. i don't know. Just something that give us something, you know, the economy sucks, but also it's like, then those businesses need extra money.
00:05:22
Speaker
to survive so you know but if a business can't afford to give us you know 10 senior citizen discount like come on yeah take care of your seniors take care your kids take care of your military police all that stuff you know Well, then
International Fast Food and Branding Strategies
00:05:37
Speaker
in that case, I'll continue to pay full price.
00:05:39
Speaker
Yeah. So shut up, Rob. Anyway. Okay. Wow. Great. Wow. um Cool. Cool. Cool. ah So um actually, maybe we should just transition into this because we were talking about Dunga Donuts. We're talking about, you know, the you know places that might have a senior citizens discount. Sure.
00:05:58
Speaker
Did you hear about the McDonald's CEO that ate it? Did hear about it? Did I see it? Absolutely. it was a sight. um You go first. I was going to say. i have my takes on it. I do.
00:06:15
Speaker
Yeah. For those of you who don't know, the CEO of McDonald's, ah they have a new burger. I think it's called the Arch Burger. I'm trying to something. Okay, I'll use my – Ron's looking for something. I'll use my hat, my Pelican's hat. Okay. Oh, there we go. So he basically takes – go ahead. Oh, no, no, no. Actually, if you're going to do it, do it.
00:06:34
Speaker
He takes the burger. Okay. He's like, Oh, it's their new arch. The big arch. It's called it. Something like that. You know? Yeah. I think it's, yeah. Something like that. It's a poppy and sesame seed bun. Ooh. For McDonald's. That's pretty, that's a lot. I feel, but, um, so he goes and this is the bite. He takes.
00:06:55
Speaker
you Oh, that is so, that is, that is so McDonald's. What a great product. He calls this stuff product. Yeah. So and you could tell he he never eats it. He's not enjoying it. Right. but tell Doesn't remember this scene in SpongeBob where they take like they do a super close up of them taking a bite of the Krusty Burger Krusty Krab. And it's like that's kind of what it was. Also, to your point that the fact that he says product, I think he this is probably how he talks on Zoom calls to his staff. And he probably couldn't change his lingo for this. So he's probably they probably call it product in business meetings.
00:07:34
Speaker
as they As they should. As they should. Yeah, and that makes sense. But like you're doing this for – He's like, it is so uniquely McDonald's. I'm like, okay, so burger with a slightly pepper flavor.
00:07:46
Speaker
um I know exactly what it tastes like. Because you said that, I know exactly what it tastes like. Yeah. um So Wendy's and Burger King made rival videos. Yes, they did. One more to A&W came into the play. And W that's right. A&W. Yeah. Which who the fuck is like, I can't wait. I could go for some A&W right now. And I have another thing about A&W that we can talk about. They're also pretty popular in Canada too.
00:08:10
Speaker
Yeah. yeah So I think the Wendy CEO actually made the burger. ah he actually yeah I think he made the burger and then made it. Then he took a big i out of it. Oh, yeah. He like devoured it.
00:08:23
Speaker
He like devoured. And personally, I've always liked Wendy's burgers better than anyone else. My favorite is Wendy's. In-N-Out. We're not including In-N-Out. We're talking about the major chains right now, even though In-N-Out is superior. Anyway. um But Wendy's, far as like all across America, Wendy's eyes has always been my favorite. burger king The Burger King CEO kind of did the same thing. I don't think he made the burger, but he took a big healthy bite. And those two CEOs...
00:08:49
Speaker
Look like they really enjoyed it. The A&W one, I don't remember too much, but. um The A&W one, he really tried to make it comedic. He was basically like dogging on the McDonald's studio the whole time. But here's the thing, too. I can need to rewatch it. But if I'm not mistaken, I swear they cut after they take a bite on all of them.
00:09:09
Speaker
I'm like, so they could have spit it out like they could have done this. I don't know. I don't know the Wendy's guys did. I mean, Wendy's like to look at it wendy's makes a good product. So yeah I love, I love, i love Wendy's product.
00:09:21
Speaker
I mean, i think the worst mistake Wendy's ever made was when they got rid of their spicy chicken nuggets. Like those, those And I also think like, what's the old saying? ain't broke, don't fix it. Except the ice cream machine.
00:09:37
Speaker
great The Frosties. All you needed was a chocolate frosty. Yeah. sound big They brought the vanilla one. I think when we were in like high school in the early 2000s and it was okay.
00:09:49
Speaker
Yeah. And I'm not a big chocolate ice cream fan, but the chocolate frosty just hits differently. Now they're doing mix-ins and stuff. Like, i don't know, but Wendy's, As far as straight up the main, the big three in America, um Wendy's, McDonald's and Burger King. I think
World Baseball Classic Overview
00:10:08
Speaker
Wendy's is superior. Yep. ah Followed by, I don't know, i kind of I guess McDonald's then Burger King for me. i Yeah. know i' Not a big Burger King fan. I understand why that people think they're better than McDonald's, but I'm not a big Burger king fan Well, the thing about the CEO video too with McDonald's is he like he holds it up and he's just all you see is bun and he's like, wow, look at the size of this thing. And it's like, yes, I see. it right I see a bun. Anything else in there? he oh Oh, yeah. And it also seemed like he didn't really know what the burger was. My pop filter that I use. My pop filter. This thing, this thing that I use. Oh, yeah, yeah. i got him too. Yeah. Yeah, of course.
00:10:44
Speaker
This is thicker than the burger. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's thicker than the burger. But he's also, he he said something like, oh, look, I think there's some like fried onion on it. And I'm like, what do you mean you think? Like, its you have you not been working on this for months? This is your product, sir. You should know what's on your burger. Yeah.
00:11:03
Speaker
But the at the end of the day, though, They uploaded it. You're telling me they couldn't. I'm going to guess it's going to be a thing where he didn't like, look, I'll do this one time and that's it.
00:11:16
Speaker
But yeah but it's like you're the CEO, man. Yeah. it Like it sucked. Like but I don't think anyone was going to be was going to tell him that no one's going to say, yeah, man, that wasn't good. It's like that's your boss. You know, you're going to be like, oh, that was great. Yeah. Let's ah well, we'll edit it. We'll edit it. You ever see the movie The Founder?
00:11:34
Speaker
ah Yes, Michael Keaton.
00:11:39
Speaker
mcdonald's works because of three things they're a real estate company not so much a fast food establishment h a lot of their product is overall tasty and and he said it why he fought so hard for it the name yeah The name McDonald's. That's why they have been so successful and continue to be successful. So yeah the CEO is an idiot, but you're not going to lose anybody. You're not going to gain anybody. It's going to be exactly.
00:12:08
Speaker
In fact, I think they probably gained a lot because this went viral. Yeah. You know, so I think that I'm not buying McDonald's. I mean, I basically actually bought the Archburger. How was it?
00:12:19
Speaker
ah So I was very, I took a little a little little marijuana sip. I had a little marijuana liquid. I don't really smoke. um So if I ever, and I don't really like get high often. Yeah, this this is rare form for you. I like it.
00:12:36
Speaker
But if I do, it's got to be in the form of an edible or I have like little like sippy thing. And um so i had I had that. So I was kind of high and I was like, you know what? I'm going to order the Arch Burger. going have it delivered. And I did. And um I remember that night into the morning, my stomach didn't feel good.
00:12:54
Speaker
And I don't know why. i think it was like, because I swear it's a, it's not like the cheddar cheese. It's a different kind of cheese. i just didn't, it wasn't, it just wasn't the same. You know what I mean?
00:13:07
Speaker
Don't do that. subscribe it's all Excuse me. um Yeah. That's kind of how I felt. So um I, Like I've had when I'm not Wendy's here. of that I've had McDonald's in Canada and I have to say, i think they're slightly better. They don't taste as processed. I had McDonald's in Italy once.
00:13:30
Speaker
And it tasted the same to me, but it tastes the same, but it does. don't know. It's different. It does. Yeah. I guess it does taste, taste the same, but different at the same time. It was a McDonald's by the leaning tower of Pisa. Yeah.
00:13:43
Speaker
And apparently yeah if they have a dedicated fryer in Canada or outside the U.S., people with a gluten intolerance or wheat allergy can eat the fries. Because the fries in America, you can't.
00:13:55
Speaker
Right. Oh, I didn't know that. That's interesting. yeah and they You know, if they have to have a dedicated fryer, and some of them do. Oh, and um another thing I'll talk about is A&W. I didn't know that this is how they named their burger, but they kind of do this thing. This was in the video, too. They do this thing where they name their burgers like like it's like Papa Burger, Mama Burger. oh yeah.
00:14:16
Speaker
Teenage Burger or something. Yeah. And that was it. And so the CEO, he's like, this is the new teen burger. And and but then this is where it gets awkward. He's like, and we're going to dip it in that that classic teen sauce. And I'm like, oh,
00:14:30
Speaker
You got to call it something else. Jeffrey Epstein rises from the day. Yeah. Yeah. We got the Epstein burger right now with the, with the teen sauce. Like, dude, what do you, why would you call it that?
00:14:41
Speaker
Oh, that's weird. That is so weird. um And, but he probably says it all the time. Cause it's like his job. So he's not thinking about it, but this product, right? I mean, it's his product. I love, I love product.
00:14:57
Speaker
I hope to consume more product. as we As we get away from this, Robert, and transition, it is kind of funny how like every sporting event you find that McDonald's is a sponsor for the sporting event. It's kind counterproductive.
00:15:11
Speaker
But speaking of sporting events, Rob, do you know what's going on right now? ah Something with a ball, and then if you get the ball in a certain spot, you get a point. Something like that.
00:15:23
Speaker
The World Baseball Classic.
Daylight Saving Time Preferences
00:15:27
Speaker
Wow. The World Baseball Classic. The World Baseball Classic is yeah simple is basically the Olympics of baseball.
00:15:37
Speaker
The World Baseball Classic happens every, let me see here, four years. Okay, I thought it was three. Oh, it's like our World Cup. Yeah, it's kind of the the World Baseball Classic. It's kind of like our World Cup. Yeah. Right.
00:15:52
Speaker
So it's going on right now. um America, if i think if America wins tonight, they will definitely be moving forward. They play Italy tonight. They should win. beat Mexico last night and it was a pretty damn good game. That's good. Yeah.
00:16:08
Speaker
How do they pick their players? Is it just, I assume it's a mix of players from different. Yeah. yeah It's kind of the same way they do it Cause they're not going to like send the Mets out there. You know what I mean? Well, it depends. It's kind of the same way they do it for all international sports.
00:16:23
Speaker
um You know who they would send out. The best players for... Hold on. The best players from their country. Okay. You have, like, the best players from your country. ah yeah Yeah. Cal Raleigh, for example. Aaron Judge. They're both on the American team. Right. You have... um um like And then you have like people who go in like through marriage or heritage or something like that. like Some guys that are American-born but have Italian heritage are playing for the Italian team. um you and Then you have like ah Randy Rosarena, one of my favorite players. He used to play for Tampa Bay. plays for Seattle now. he's cuban
00:16:58
Speaker
He's Cuban, but he plays for Mexico. OK, because I believe his wife is Mexican, so he gets Mexican citizenship. And once you denounce your cute Cuban citizenship, you can't, you know, come back kind of thing. So, yeah, you have to denounce Cuba. So, yeah, last year, denounce Cuba. Wow. Yeah, he denounces Cuban citizenship so he can't play for the Cuban team. um yeah he left Well, he left. He basically left.
00:17:25
Speaker
So he said bye, Cuba. And they're like, oh, no, no, you can't use us anymore. So ah last year, that was Mexico in third place, okay United States in second place, and Japan won its third title.
00:17:39
Speaker
Shanae Otani was the MVP last year. Now this year, yeah The host the host ah countries are Japan, United States, and Puerto Rico.
00:17:50
Speaker
Oh. The city specifically, Houston, Miami in America, San Juan in in ah Puerto Rico, and Tokyo in Japan. Okay, cool. So we have about eight days left of the tournament. So what's today? The ninth? Yeah, we have eight days left of the tournament. 20 teams. We're just about finishing the pool stages, and we'll be going into...
00:18:15
Speaker
The elimination stages, the knockout knockout. So if America wins tonight, they will have four wins. They will definitely be solidified into, they will be undefeated and we'll go to the knockout stages.
00:18:26
Speaker
So, okay okay and that we have a stacked team this year, but then again, like Japan's always very good. um Mexico, even though we beat Mexico last night, but they're usually very good. The Dominican team, they're they're usually good. So,
00:18:40
Speaker
in uh Puerto Rico so it could be any of those but I'd like to see i don't think America's ever won or we won once but I'd like to see it happen so love the world baseball classic uh America plays Italy tonight uh 9 p.m. Eastern on Fox Sports 1 little plug-in Rob you know make sure you make a short about that we can get paid and uh yeah okay I love getting paid Great.
00:19:04
Speaker
All right. Well, hey, congrats to the U.S. s I hope that they ah keep moving up um on the baseball thing. Can we talk about this real quick? Real quick. Real quick. real quick Yes. Yes. Of course.
00:19:17
Speaker
Daylight savings time. How'd you adjust? Oh, i just did fine. Yeah. yeah i could I could use that hour, but I was fine. I actually didn't know that it was happening and I just got up and I i had to drive somewhere that was a half hour away. And I look at the clock and I'm like, it was like an, for a second, I thought I was an hour and a half away. Like my mind didn't do the math right. And I'm like, wait, what is going on here? Oh yeah. Cause my GPS said i was going to get there at nine 30 or something. And then I see my clock and it's like eight 30 and I'm like, why is this going to take so long to get there? And then that's when it hit me.
00:19:54
Speaker
yeah But this is my favorite daylight savings time. I like this one. I don't like the other one. I don't like the other one i either, no. But Arizona doesn't like daylight savings time. I do like the other one. I like normal time.
00:20:06
Speaker
Wait, the one where it gets darker quicker? Yes. and Oh. That's normal time. I'm sure Batman likes that one too. I'm sure he does. I like this one because why do you like it? Why do you like get it dark? I like the dark. The only thing I don't like about it. I like the dark. like the dark Batman. The only thing I don't like about that is
00:20:30
Speaker
is the fact it gets colder. i'm not a fan of the cold. Oh, I love the cold only because I like to wear jackets. I mean, I like the cold. Don't get me wrong. It only gets cold here for like a month and a half. So it's like it's my my window of opportunity.
00:20:46
Speaker
Yeah, I get that. I get that. Sure. But in New York, I would really enjoy. Yeah. Well, um speaking of enjoyment, ah something that I've been I've had this topic. Actually, this I have a really silly topic I want to talk about later. But we I heard you have a cold joke, though.
00:21:04
Speaker
I wrote a cold joke because I care. and Okay, as long as you're not passive-aggressive about it, then we're good. No, no, no, no, no. no um I wrote one today. i wrote one. It was quick. It was quick.

If you want me to read it, write cold joke for Ron. if you want Rob to read it, write cold joke for Rob. oh Yeah. you know that That's a great idea. that way and So that way, Rob, since you won't be reading it, will look at it prior to scan it and make sure it's not completely awful because we know how people can be. Oh yeah, that's actually true. um So before the cold joke, I would, you can go to the penetrating question form. and The link is in the bio and you just write it, maybe do it in all caps, right?
00:24:03
Speaker
Joke for Robert joke for Ron. This way, if I see that I won't read the rest and I'll have Ron read it and so on and so forth, so forth. But, um,
00:24:15
Speaker
Yeah, something that I wanted to, I've had this like dumb topic on the block for a while, and I don't know if you know what I'm referring to, but do you remember the Notarity Parties?
00:24:27
Speaker
Oh, I could go on a tangent about that. Oh, I would love to hear it because I, yeah, go on and When I was younger, now I don't give a fuck. I prided myself on being every day at school.
00:24:39
Speaker
Didn't care. okay Or an art of being on time for school. I prided myself on that. My mother always running late to this day. Every event I've ever had, every play I've done, every award ceremony, graduating from a flight attendant school, late, always late, never on time. Not the favorite child. Anyway, always.
00:25:04
Speaker
So one day in my freshman year, she was running late. And I got to work at work. I got to school about 15 minutes late.
00:25:16
Speaker
So I didn't get to go to the notary party that nine weeks. And I was annoyed because I liked getting out of class and right all my friends were going because they were good kids.
00:25:27
Speaker
Yeah. Sorry. Got to take my pill. Um, Sorry, it's Crumble calling us for another sponsorship. No, it is. um Yeah, so I was... ah Obviously, I still hold that against her because I'm like, you know, that wasn't my fault. It was yours.
00:25:44
Speaker
We have such a similar thing. Like, I'm going to say... ah So I also took a lot of pride. That's why I kept calling it silly. I also took a lot of pride in the notarity party. And in my four years of high school, I went to six notarity parties because they had two a year.
00:26:02
Speaker
I went to all of them. And that doesn't make me better than you, Ron. but um But I'll tell you that I almost fell victim to being late. And I fought tooth and nail to keep my Notardy record clean. And I'll tell you what happened. So...
00:26:20
Speaker
I had a math teacher in high school. um I don't want to say her name. I don't want to like trash talk her. Probably dead anyway. But um shallka she she might be. I don't know. She's pretty old. But anyway, ah she was kind of like mean. She's kind of like mean or strict. And she had this dumbass rule where...
00:26:41
Speaker
if you weren't sitting in your seat, you were considered late. And i was always the first to arrive in that class because it just happened to be closer from my previous class. So I was always first or second in class. And I remember I was just like talking to someone, just like leaning on my desk, talking, waiting for the bell to ring. The bell rings.
00:27:04
Speaker
And I'm not in my chair. And she's like, you're late. Go get a go get a tardy slip. And I was, I argued it. was like, no, i I'm the the first one here.
00:27:16
Speaker
i was like Jim Carrey in the Truman Show. i'm like, what the hell talking about? What the hell are you talking about? Like, who are you talking to? So you were in the classroom, but you weren't in your chair.
00:27:27
Speaker
Right. I was in the classroom. i was one of the first people in the classroom. Oh, that's fucked up. Yeah. I was waiting like 10 minutes before the bell rang and she wanted me to go because of her fucking rule about you're not. I really want know which teacher this was here. I'll type it. Um,
00:27:46
Speaker
Yeah. ah Tell me if you know who this is. actually had her twice. I never had her. Okay. had her, God, twice. and I forgot she was even there. I forgot she was there until you made that. Until you showed. Never had that picture. I think you can find her in the obituary now. But ah yeah, so... Hey, do the math. um But anyway...
00:28:08
Speaker
Uh, so I fought tooth and nail and I argued, I'm like, I'm not going to get a tardy slip when I was the first fucking student in the classroom. And I knew in the back of my head that this was going to ruin my no tardy party reputation, Ron.
00:28:23
Speaker
And really all you got at the no part tardy party was like 15 minutes out of class and like punch and juice. and juice Yeah. cook Yeah. yeah Yeah. You got, you got fruit punch and cookies. But it was it was a social hour. You got to get away from the class and you know get an extra break.
00:28:36
Speaker
It was the only time I felt you know fucking better than everyone. you know i was i was better than them, Ron. The fact that I... But you know considering I was...
00:28:49
Speaker
you know, class president and everything. oh my God. That's true. You were, I actually forgot about that. Yeah. tonight ah been school I high school. Anyway, maybe next, maybe next episode, we're going to talk about the big old scandal. I think there was one time i was supposed, there's, there was no scandal. What are you talking about? There was Ron and you were a part of it and I wrote it, I wrote it in the notes. So don't worry. It's not a big it wasn't scandal. You would never know. Anyway. Oh, I know. ah No, you don't. I'm going to write in the chat. ah So...
00:29:26
Speaker
but You know nothing. You're like, this is the last episode of the podcast. I'm out of here. I'm moving to Montana. That's it. It's a funny scandal, but it's a joke. It's not
Religious School Anecdotes
00:29:42
Speaker
a big deal. Five lives were lost. I didn't do it. I didn't do anything. There was no scandal. I did not inhale. There was no island.
00:29:49
Speaker
You know what, Robbie? You're such a shitty host. such a shitty friend. like Nobody cares about you. Nobody cares. All all right. Sorry. I love you. I didn't know that. um What was I saying? Oh, yeah. I was going to. Yeah. i was Sometimes I would have free periods around that time and I would just sneak in and nobody gave me shit anyway. So I would just go in and grab crash and crash to the party. So, OK, well, so it anyway, this this debate got even more heated to the point where she called an administrator to the class.
00:30:15
Speaker
Like she was not going to let go of this bullshit rule, Ron. And an administrator came and he was really cool. um And ah so this minute you probably know this administrator was really cool. I don't remember his name. I remember he had a daughter that was in our class, though.
00:30:33
Speaker
um in our graduating class. And ba so I just want to give like, I know who it was. He was actually really nice. Yeah. i was like, this is a positive shout out. but he He was actually, he was actually, I'm not going his name. yeah.
00:30:46
Speaker
But his, his daughter was and i in ah in our class, class of 2005. Um, he was, I always thought he was very fair. always thought he was a nice, he was very fair. Cause I'll tell you like, he's, oh, he comes down to the classroom and I'm, I'm standing outside of the hallway pleading my case. And I was just like,
00:31:02
Speaker
And I remember he was just like, I don't know. Can you just get the pass? You know, he was like, this is such a nothing thing. I think he knew this rule was bullshit. And I was like, no, I'm not.
00:31:15
Speaker
I'm not getting the tardy slip. I wasn't tardy. I wasn't tardy. I should be going to the no tardy party. And so he brings me to the office and he gives me I think it was him.
00:31:28
Speaker
He gives me a just regular hall pass, not a tardy pass. And I come back to the class and no one is the wiser. I didn't throw it in her face because I didn't want to mess up anything. And I was not tardy.
00:31:42
Speaker
And I really wasn't. so you So he gave you a hall pass. Yes. Instead of a tardy pass. So basically he said, you're being an idiot. He's excused.
00:31:55
Speaker
Yeah. and i'm teach And I'm and I'm so you handed that teacher the the hall pass, right? Yeah. Well, I don't think she even asked for it, because when I came back in the classroom, I think she just assumed something was done, you know, and ah i I think I might have even played like upset, like and I like sit down like this sucks. Like, can't believe she won. Can't believe she see she won this this argument, but she didn't win her on. You know why? Because why I went to the Notarity Party that year, Ron. I went to it and I was I i went a winner. I went a winner.
00:32:33
Speaker
um You know what? That's a good story because we had plenty of teachers like that that were just unfair. Another math teacher, she was on the younger side. She had a whole, I think i stopp talked about the story before. We had, in our school, we had restroom passes in our planner and you got three per semester or some shit. forgot about that.
00:32:53
Speaker
And you got two bonus ones as well. And she was so strict about it. And I was going to the bathroom During spring training football, was drinking a gallon of water, and her class was my last class.
00:33:04
Speaker
So by that time of the day, i had to pee. hu I ran out. so I went and peed. She wrote me up. She said she stuck her head out there. I wasn't around. She wrote wrote me up.
00:33:16
Speaker
um I got called in by the administrator, who um she was a bigger lady. That's all I'll say. She was a bigger lady. I know who you're talking about.
00:33:27
Speaker
And she just gave me a warning. She didn't write me up. She did she just gave me a warning. And I was like, thank you. So, yeah. I was never written up in school. I was given warnings, but I was never written up. Yep. Yeah. She also she had a granddaughter that I think was a granddaughter that was a couple of years younger than us.
00:33:45
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. um I think all the fair administrators were the ones that had kids currently enrolled. So they knew. Yeah. that You know. um And I also remember we had for a little bit an administrator who used to be the PE coach at J.D. Floyd. Did you go to J.D. Floyd?
00:34:03
Speaker
did not. Okay. Never mind. We're going to skip over that topic. Anyway, he was cool. Yeah, he was actually like ah he was ah he was like a he was a handsome fella, actually.
00:34:14
Speaker
was he our Wasn't he our football coach beforehand? Yeah. Uh, no, I remember he was, i remember he was a coach, like a regular PE coach at elementary school, my elementary school. And then he, I think he moved up and became like more in the office administration in central.
00:34:31
Speaker
But, uh, anyway, it doesn't matter. Yeah. ah So, yeah. um But as far as I love, you know, my my favorite thing and most hateful thing about the podcast is.
00:34:43
Speaker
What's that? Is trying to make us smooth transitions. Well, I mean, since since and that's what about since we're talking about being kids. Yeah. When we were kids. Yeah. What was your favorite thing to drink when you were a kid?
00:34:58
Speaker
And you know what I was going to say? And speaking PE, Ron, you got to keep hydrated, right? And what did you drink as a kid? Your transition was way better. Yeah, I highly doubt Sunny Delight was hydrating.
00:35:10
Speaker
it I don't know what, you know what? i don't think anyone knows what that is. So Sunny Delight has changed its ways over the years. But do you remember there were two types of Sunny Delights as a kid? No, you had florida you had Florida style and California style.
00:35:25
Speaker
Oh my God. Really? Florida style was a bit tangier. California was a little sweeter. So do you think they bring it a little bit of meth in the Florida one? Just a little bit of meth.
00:35:38
Speaker
Because I was a kid, I have to admit as a Floridian, I did like the California style better yeah as a child. You like you can't have. Yeah. Yeah. But you, you wrote some really good ones on here. Uh,
00:35:50
Speaker
I mean, we all grew up on Kool-Aid, right? All millennials will grow up on Kool-Aid. i think so. it Was it like 10 packets for a dollar or some shit like that? like Oh, yeah. they're They're giving that shit out.
00:36:02
Speaker
Kool-Aid got me to drink water, actually, because I was primarily soda drinker. i know i So here's the thing, too. I know on the podcast, I usually have a Diet Coke. I do it for the caffeine. I really don't once in a while have a Diet Coke drink. Not on the podcast. but um But for the most part, I drink water. like I have my water bottle with me at all times with the Down With DP podcast sticker on it. Get yours now at $0.
00:36:29
Speaker
um But Kool-Aid helped me transition. I went from soda to Kool-Aid to water. It was like I was i was in you know like Soda Anonymous and like going down the steps of sobriety. always liked...
00:36:42
Speaker
good I'm proud of you proud of you. Thank you. I i always liked like citrus flavors like the lemon-lime or the orange or the tangerine or whatever it was. I always liked those Kool-Aid flavors better. but like Fruit Punch is always classic. Grape is always classic. Always liked those. um Never really drank Tang growing up. You wrote Tang down. didn't either. i just knew was popular.
00:37:04
Speaker
And I remember that chimpanzee dancing around. Yeah. Never really drank Tang growing up. I've had it. It's okay. um Oh, yeah. Here's that's a good one, Rob. Oh, that's the best one. You know, I know. And the cooler is like that's that's S. That's S. love That's S. Nostalgia. You can't. yeah And you know what? And I give so much credit to people that do this, too. Like, I'm never annoyed. I'm like, at least you're trying. People try to come up with their own recipes and put it out there. And it's it's never going to hit the same. But I appreciate that they try.
00:37:41
Speaker
Also, High C Orange from McDonald's. Oh, yeah. yeah It's still there, I believe. But it just, it hit differently when you were a kid. Yeah, there was there was less like, um there was more unhealthy shit in it. Made it great.
00:37:54
Speaker
My first day of preschool, was at a Presbyterian church, okay? They're like a pre-K program. And I walk in for like a test day and they were serving cookies and a big bug juice container of McDonald's high C orange. And I'm like, this is great. Oh my gosh, I love preschool. This is great. You get high C orange, great. Next time I come back, no high C orange.
00:38:19
Speaker
What? No high C orange. And this isn't the second time the church has let me down, Rob. I used to go with a friend in like second grade. The church has let you down again. Yeah. There's another time I go there. for It was like a Wednesday or a Thursday and it was like the youth night of the week. Okay.
00:38:35
Speaker
And they give cookies out that night. Not just any cookies, Rob. It was the red and green leaf cookies with the chocolate in the center. Oh yes. Yes. Yeah. or and like and They also gave like wafers and wafer cookies out too.
00:38:50
Speaker
Oh, what what happened when I came back next youth week? No fucking cookies, Rob. No fucking cookies. no So fucking cookies. Every time I think a high C orange, I think of those two stories. Just wanted to throw that out there. Sorry. um No, I you know what I used to do. This is related to juice and church. um So one of the things that i because I went to a Methodist church for a little bit and youth group, which man, I could we could we should talk about youth group sometime. I'm going to put that. okay next episode. Yeah, you might actually get that next episode, people. But um in in at least the church I went to, they didn't actually use wine. They they were lame. And they used grape juice. They used Welch's grape.
00:39:32
Speaker
Well, yeah. Cheese eggs and Welch's grape. no yeah A lot of the Protestant churches do not use wine. like I feel like the Catholic churches or the Episcopalians use wine. um yeah Oh, man, I'm getting my ADD is getting sidetracked. i i want i I want to say I want to say, like, has no one came out with like a wine brand called like Jesus blood or something or blood
Origins of 'Drinking the Kool-Aid'
00:39:55
Speaker
of Christ? I don't know. Don't you think that was? too Well, I'm sure they have, but they probably never got past anything.
00:40:00
Speaker
Yeah, it's true. But um so I was going to say and and so they had these like big containers that had these little tiny. I'm talking about like the size of your thumb shot glasses yeah of grape juice. And I as a kid, I love grape juice. So I would actually pocket that. And it was a little plastic cup. It wasn't like I was stealing anything significant. They threw them away. People are drinking from them. So I kept this little the size of your thumbnail size plastic cup. And when my mom would buy grape juice, I used to pour it into the little cup and do little tiny shots of communion.
00:40:40
Speaker
And I'm the one who does a fire oven beer at the end of everything. I know. And I drink a Diet Coke now. But I thought that was so good. It just hit right. I'm like, um Christ, this is good. And yeah you know what? That was probably better because it was cold.
00:40:53
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. yeah um but we something yeah i wrote Yeah. So another thing, because we were talking about Kool-Aid, you know, the saying here's here's a fun fact.
00:41:04
Speaker
You know, the saying ah don't drink the Kool-Aid, you know, meaning like don't fall for a scam. Don't. or Or if you're like too much into a conspiracy, you're like, oh, he drank the Kool-Aid. That's referring to a Jim Jones cult ah where they drank the Kool-Aid and killing themselves.
00:41:22
Speaker
but said Jonestown, Guyana. Yeah. Yeah. But here's the thing. They didn't drink Kool-Aid. They didn't drink Kool-Aid. They drank DrinkAid, which is a real brand.
00:41:34
Speaker
And it's the we have that at home brand of Kool-Aid. And i have I have two things I want to say about this. OK, one, it's not fair to Kool-Aid because now they're part of a, you know, don't drink the Kool-Aid.
00:41:48
Speaker
But I understand the best marketing ever for them. Actually true. um But ah but um another thing is, as far as cult members go, you know, you're about to die, right? Everyone's about to kill themselves. You can't buy the better brand.
00:42:08
Speaker
You can't get the Kool-Aid. You got to get the cheap. You're running out of money right before the suicide. Are you running out of money? like how That is the pinnacle of being cheap.
00:42:19
Speaker
You can't even buy the like regular brand name before
Branding in Food Products
00:42:24
Speaker
the suicide. Come on. Come on. That's fair. I like that. you're Yeah. You're telling me that ah if you wanted your last meal to be Frosted Flakes, you would buy flakes that are frosted cereal to save a few bucks? No.
00:42:39
Speaker
You're right. you you wouldn't go to that you wouldn't get on you you wouldn't go down on the that commercial where he squat walks. He's squatting and walking and buying the bagged cereal. and up the Oh, yeah. And he'd have like five pounds of like fruity rocks. Yeah, Or whatever the hell.
00:42:56
Speaker
However, those cereals were perfectly fine. Oh, they were. They're actually great. Yeah, so because it's also like it's fucking cereal. Like what more, you know, it's not like you have a difference between like, you know, a tomahawk steak and ah let's say an arch burger from McDonald's. You know, it's cereal.
00:43:13
Speaker
You know, Rob, um speaking of transitions, that going into the next topic is you're coming out. Coming out what? thought telling me you're about the transition.
00:43:24
Speaker
Oh, no, no, baby. No, no, no, no. Oh. No, no, no. Transition. Oh, yeah. um ah You know what? That's the transition. There we go. um So we don't get political on the show too much just because for the sake of um we know a lot of people on both sides of the spectrum and we don't want to piss people off.
00:43:45
Speaker
You know, we just don't. So, but this whole thing with... um Iran. Okay. There has been increased reports of terror attacks here in America.
00:43:57
Speaker
See, I didn't know about this. This is how in the dark I am sometimes. I i like to be up to date with stuff, but sometimes I
Call for Peace and Love
00:44:04
Speaker
do live in a cave. So there was a Southwest flight that had, I think it was a bomb scare turned out to be nothing. Not credible. Not credible. In New York, there was an anti-Muslim protest going on. And two 18 year old guy, eighteen nine an 18 year old guy and a 19 year old guy from Pennsylvania,
00:44:21
Speaker
made homemade bombs and threw them at those protesters. And wow, and they were inspired by ISIS to do it. and That's very recent. um It's you you have two groups preaching nothing but hate. We have a problem here.
00:44:36
Speaker
That's a big problem. um nobody deserves to get bombed. That's fucking crazy. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. hey um That's one great thing about this country is that we are still, for lack of a better word, free speech.
00:44:49
Speaker
So you know nobody, but should always be peaceful. um And also, I think it was last night, the American consulate in... Toronto was shot at.
00:45:00
Speaker
Nobody was hurt. so i guess all I'm saying out there for friends that live everywhere, especially friends, our friends that live in larger cities, just be safe out there. Yeah. Be safe. you know Keep your eyes and ears open at all times. See something, say something, as the MTA would tell me to do. So just be safe out there. I'm not going to get too much into that, but just be safe out there. Yeah, I get it. I'm not one for political violence. Without dropping names, we've had people that have lost their lives speaking about certain things, their political views, and I would never be an advocate for that. would not. I I would want that person to say what they want and I would want them to be defeated not by violence, but by better argument.
00:45:43
Speaker
I'm always about defeating someone with an argument. This is why like if I ever debate someone and they let's just say hypothetically, I'm debating someone on a topic and I'm really like going in hard and they don't have a leg to stand on. Um,
00:46:01
Speaker
If they end up getting physical, that's where I'm like, okay, like I want to defeat you with an argument. I don't want to defeat you by getting physical because let's just say, again, let's just say I'm debating you about something and I whoop your ass hypothetically in a debate, but then you actually whoop my ass and i'm and you beat me to a bloody pulp.
00:46:22
Speaker
That still doesn't mean that you won the argument. That just means that you don't have an argument and you have nothing else to do except like, well, I got to hit him now. and don't I don't know why I went on that tangent, but yeah yeah, political violence, not for it, not for it at all.
00:46:36
Speaker
So no. So, but like I said, everybody be safe out there um and fucking peace and love, man. Peace and love. We need that. We need that more than ever. And i ah I've also been saying this, you know, fucking listen to some good music.
00:46:49
Speaker
Yeah. Good music, man. I think, I mean, that was one great thing about the sixties with the peace and love is that we had really good music back then. think we need to start bringing that back, bring back the peace and love and the music. And maybe we need a new hippie. Maybe we need a new hippie movie. Maybe, I mean, not as much sex because there's too many things out there now, but, um, you know, bring back, bring, back you know, bring back the music, the love, the peace.
00:47:12
Speaker
There's two genres of music actually that I've been loving. There will be showers everywhere though. We don't want to that repeat of the sixties entirely. Right, exactly. um I love, I feel like it's not a huge comeback, but I feel like there's been some love for Yacht Rock.
00:47:28
Speaker
Hell yeah, there has actually. Hell yeah. I think I've been seeing a lot of memes about grocery stores playing Yacht Rock and like people are like... I'm not big Yacht Rock fan, but you know I didn't like it. They're just catchy as fuck, like those songs. I like anything good. Like, fuck. I mean, i used i used to walk around the Florida State thespians and...
00:47:48
Speaker
he comes up once again, Brad and I would play fucking a dollar Mendy to knock to knock to, which is like an Indian rap song, a Punjabi rap song. And we'd get a bunch of people to dance in a circle.
00:47:59
Speaker
like still Did we know what they were saying? No, I still don't know what they're saying. I think I've translated it before and I just forget, but it's just have fun with good music, man. Yeah. It's like a, I think the most iconic one is probably the Doobie brothers. ah The what a fool believes, um,
00:48:19
Speaker
yeah There you go. there yeah I like, yeah, I just have to jam to it. Um, uh, there's also that, you know, it's also, love yes, people and love is you
Listener Interaction and Questions
00:48:30
Speaker
know, peace and love it. When you have peace and love, especially sixties, you know what they did?
00:48:33
Speaker
it penetrated a lot, Rob. but oh penetrated are we transitioning into something tight? This is a very tight episode because Rob has to go to work. So this is a very tight episode. I know, know. But I just wanted to say one more music genre that I've been into is it's pretty much a callback to 80s rock, but it's like it's like there are these bands coming out that are simulating new songs but like yeah kind of that hair band style and it's fucking awesome and it it sounds like straight out of the 80s it's like that new synth wave and rock and anyway i just want to give a shout out to that kind of stuff but uh yeah agree oh yeah hell yeah but yeah let's um let's get penetrated what do you say let's penetrate rob yeah penetrating question
