Just playing a radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. This is Eric. Do it, I dare you. Yeah, but this is not Eric. This is not the Eric show this is the. R2rl Radio edit. Radio edit.
Speaker 2:Shut up.
Speaker 3:Craig, I'm Craig.
Speaker 1:You know what we can do. I'll just not, since y'all can't self say your name, we'll just have it, like chopped out of a previous episode, put in here, dude we can get a sidebar button on the machine he's trying to have the robots replaces.
Speaker 4:Chris pressed the button and says, eric, he's trying to make it, let's try it, we'll do.
Speaker 1:AI Eric Matt Scott.
Speaker 5:The grocery store is already trying to replace. Yeah, they're cashiers with us, that's right.
Speaker 4:Right, yeah, but it's yeah. But even the little, the little. What's that race track? The race track on Ambassador? Shop right, shop right. The race track too now.
Speaker 2:The race track zone. Oh, you checking that? That's the race track.
Speaker 1:The race track too.
Speaker 4:I walked up to it and she said if you playing with a card, you can go over there, Is it?
Speaker 5:Circle K my favorite Circle K in the world on Young'sville Highway and Fortune Road Not only has self-checkout, but it's the cool ones where you just put everything down on this platform and scans it all at the same time and says boop here's how much you got Wait, so you don't even do the little bloop.
Speaker 2:Nope, you don't have to scan that. You just put everything down, you take your big gulp and you put it in the middle.
Speaker 5:And it's like, oh, big gulp, $1,000, please, and your bag of M&Ms and a bag of chips and it knows, do you?
Speaker 4:hide your employee discount because you have to check yourself out. So how do you hide the things you're not checking out?
Speaker 5:I love that place and I use my little Apple Pay and I'm out, I'm done At the grocery store. I feel like you're making me do all the work now. But for the same amount of and I'm getting, I'm paying the same price, Right, but now.
Speaker 4:I don't have to talk to you. I like self-checkout.
Speaker 1:You like self-checkout, I like self-checkout sometimes.
Speaker 4:I don't, yeah, I don't understand the thing where I keep seeing this a lot, where everybody's like, well, you know, we are an employee. I'm like you're not an employee, dude, they allowing you just to not have to talk to their employee, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Also, it's an invitation to rob them.
Speaker 1:No, they got cameras.
Speaker 3:It's an invitation. So let me phrase the point. They were deployed. I may or may not know some people who may or may not have Just walked out, not necessarily walked out, but you know, you could scan a cucumber and put like five pounds of shrimp in a bag or stuff like that.
Speaker 4:Hold on. But look, I did this the other day. If you pass, your call it a bottle of water. If you pass your bottle of water over the scanner and it doesn't scan, but the camera sees you pass it, at the end it registered an error and I had to get somebody to walk over and it showed a video of me passing the bottle of water over that didn't get scanned. That's what's a lot. Now you know what the girl did.
Speaker 4:She just pressed the button, blip, blip, blip, blip, blip and said you can go, but so it didn't do what they were trying to get it to do. Yeah, like it was like wait, he stole a bottle of water and she's like eh no, no, but anyway but it did notice that it didn't register. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Because I had six of the same bottle, so I just passed it over a few times. And number six, I just picked it up and put it in the bag and the camera noticed it didn't get scanned. But it still don't look right, right.
Speaker 1:It's the lock thing. The lock is just there to keep honest people honest, absolutely. So the people who were stealing the five pounds of shrimp with the cucumber, we're going to steal that anyway. They were just going to take a different method in which to get it done. Absolutely. So it is what it is.
Speaker 5:And this way I don't have to talk to people Most likely.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, allegedly, but even like it's fast food restaurants now and everything.
Speaker 5:They're going both ways though McDonald's just put a thing out the other day by 2032, they're going to get rid of all the self-serve drink machines in their restaurants.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can't make it on drinks, but you can place your own order, but you can't make it on drinks. They'll make it on order pretty soon right, it's going to be the machines.
Speaker 5:They have now where you go put it on the screen, and then you don't get to do nothing else. Here's your drink.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the boys are going to be busy refilling drinks, that's why they don't. Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:Are they going to start charging to refill drinks, because now an employee has to do it? Probably, probably.
Speaker 4:Is there a reason? Wait, did you say 2032?
Speaker 5:2032.
Speaker 4:What year are we?
Speaker 5:in you know.
Speaker 4:Wait, just nine years away, oh yeah.
Speaker 5:Well, I mean it's going to take a while to get it out of Bunky or something right.
Speaker 2:I mean it's not like they're going to start, man just move the machines to the back of the register and be done with it, Like why I can't see why this can't be done by 2025.
Speaker 5:I feel like I'm going to be a little lazy with this one Two people get picked up and walk it back there. Just get the same people that fix the ice cream machines to come work on the soda machines and you'll be done in like a year. Yeah, nothing will work Nothing will work.
Speaker 1:That's right. Well, I say this we're not they, we people, whatever these businesses that are changing into self-checkout. They're not taking away jobs, they're just shifting it from an unskilled position to a skilled position. So I don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 4:I don't either. I agree, that was well said.
Speaker 2:Yeah, unskilled, I'm not asking someone to refill my drink, though I just want to go refill my own drink, I agree.
Speaker 4:So that's why I asked if they had a reason, because my thought process is they're going to save money, because if I have to get somebody to refill my drink, I'm just going to walk out instead.
Speaker 2:That's the reason, or you just figured it out. You just figured it out.
Speaker 1:That's a go drink.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but a go drink is going to be a go. There's got to be a reason.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what's the reason? The reason 9 chance out of 10, some soda machine leaked. Somebody slipped my neck and my back, ehh, and there's a risk.
Speaker 1:there's a risk dude somewhere that said, hey, this is the guy I mean there's a whole extra machine in the building.
Speaker 5:now they got to take care of it. That machine's going to be in the back. The machine's already in the back. There's already one in the back for the drop through.
Speaker 1:For drop through. Yeah, there's already.
Speaker 3:That's the trick down on the machine Wouldn't that machine breaks, the only thing they do is say hey, come fix this.
Speaker 4:It's bad enough. You got to get napkins one by one bro. But, that was the worst thing they ever put in a restaurant. The stupid one by one napkin I want 25. Were we on the radio? Good job.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I want 22. Hercules, hercules.
Speaker 4:I want 25 napkins. I don't want, like individual three, what I'm going to do with three napkins.
Speaker 3:Wipe one corner of your mouth.
Speaker 4:No, I'm obsessive. I have to wipe it a lot.
Speaker 2:So the good thing is they have to 2032 to get it right or change their mind, which they probably won't go anywhere. They will yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're going to change. Just look, just shift it from unskilled to skilled. We good, we making people make more money that way. They just got to go learn something new. Instead of flipping a burger, they flip and switch us in the machine.
Speaker 5:Then they can afford that extra to go drink. Yeah, nice, we're coming up. Matt's going to tell us again why is this stupid? It's the R2RO radio show.
Speaker 1:It's a Planet, radio 106.7. Matt, best rock on the planet.
Speaker 2:Oh man, how does this guy R2RO.
Speaker 1:I don't even know what the name of the show is.
Speaker 5:Radio edit Radio edit.
Speaker 4:We need to get do we have the radio edit thing for Kid Rock Radio edit yeah, it's on the intro or something Nice.
Speaker 1:We fancy like that.
Speaker 4:We should call what's his name Chris Rock, kid Rock.
Speaker 3:Kid Rock and Chris Rock. How much more old?
Speaker 2:are we Kid and Chris together? Yeah, they can come in the same time the Rock Brothers. We can have the Rock at the same time.
Speaker 5:The whole Rock family, the whole.
Speaker 2:Rock family. We'll just call them the pebbles Bleh.
Speaker 5:And are they going to fight it out to figure out who's the best rock on the planet? Yes, yes.
Speaker 4:Yes, we already found out, we already know, it's the planet, the best dad Joe's angle.
Speaker 3:The question is is somebody going to smoke them?
Speaker 1:No, not those kind of rocks, not that kind of rock. So we we to the segment of tell me why this isn't stupid. Yeah, tell me why this isn't stupid. So what's that? Tell me why this isn't stupid.
Speaker 3:I saw an article searching through Google Machine and I see his headline and says Blue Point Crab Invasion. Like, first of all, why is it an invasion? Where is it?
Speaker 5:at when was it? It was in Italy. Ok, italy is dealing with a massive North Atlantic Blue Point Crab Invasion.
Speaker 3:Ok, Now they have entire restaurants dedicated to Italian food. And see, all you have to do is go, catch them and figure out how to make it delicious. This is not a problem, this is an opportunity.
Speaker 1:You don't have to figure out how to make it delicious. We figured that out.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We figured it out.
Speaker 4:They have that? Well, they don't have to. All they got to do is get on the internet.
Speaker 3:Let's go load up a few bus loads of people from me and Parish Straight over there to Italy.
Speaker 5:No problem, you're lucky for you. The government actually has put out three million pounds for the capture and disposal of the species.
Speaker 1:Oh wait, you can go up. Wait, you can make three million pounds.
Speaker 5:They're paying money. And then you get to keep crabs and they said they're going to let the crabbers or the fishermen catch as many crabs as they want. And there is no. You just said no limit to somebody from the million pairs.
Speaker 4:Bingo. So we got what? 12 dozen. 12 dozen Next weekend we have a 12 dozen limit over here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so 12 dozens.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can get 12 million. Commercial you can do a lot of that.
Speaker 2:And three million pounds.
Speaker 1:Converts to what? Usd?
Speaker 4:3.5, 3.4, 3.2. Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1:So one mil no.
Speaker 5:You act like anybody from a million pairs gets any pounds that are going to come back with the money, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4:No, but we can get rid of their problem.
Speaker 1:We can get rid of their problem.
Speaker 4:And they can probably get rid of some of our problems. They don't need our problems.
Speaker 5:They just need to say you can have as many as you want the fact. The better way to do it is to tell them there's a limit and all the crabs will disappear. Yeah.
Speaker 1:But no, really Talking only to each other.
Speaker 4:You're stupid.
Speaker 3:Because it seems stupid to me. It seems like, hey, we just got this whole new economy, but yet they're raising 52.
Speaker 4:Didn't we have, like a year ago there was an invasion of crawfish somewhere, or what was it? It was some other thing that we did.
Speaker 5:Michigan was the. It was Michigan, michigan.
Speaker 3:Right An invasion of crawfish Ship, some crawfish cages.
Speaker 5:Michigan has never seen an invasive species.
Speaker 4:No, we just, we just make it a meal, we just eat them. We just make it a meal.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Let's get it bro.
Speaker 2:Italy should have at least what 2000 new restaurants coming out.
Speaker 3:All just straight Crab Crab, crab Crab shack. Just send Joe's Crab Shack out there.
Speaker 1:They don't serve Blue Point at Joe's.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they do.
Speaker 1:I've never had it there. I've seen them. King, and Let me phrase.
Speaker 3:I saw it at the one in Galveston. Oh, okay, so there could be a reason for that, I'm sure you don't have one in Little Rock, arkansas, serving fresh Blue Point crabs.
Speaker 1:You know that South Louisiana people Cajuns. We're not the only ones that eat Blue Point. I did big. It can't be. It's Marlton East Maryland.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's the. I went catch crabs in Maryland in the Chesapeake Bay and it was on a boat, yeah. So we had a little roller sticking out the boat and it was all on a trout line. Every one of the crab lines was under a jug, like an empty jug of water or something. Oh, it was a line like a trout line the whole way and you roll up to it and you pick up the line and put it on this roller that stuck out the side of the boat and he would just idle and it would slowly bring them up to the top and you would just scoop them. As you're sitting there watching the crabs come up, you hurry up and scoop them and catch them before they reach the top of the water.
Speaker 3:Boy, you was not so deadly as catch. We was not so deadly as catch.
Speaker 4:It was calm and nice. I think they gave me some sweet tea while. I was grabbing. It was really nice.
Speaker 3:It was no like 30 degree water splashing in your face while you try to smoke a cigarette and not get killed by this large piece of machinery that's swinging around around you.
Speaker 4:No.
Speaker 3:Light jacket and a bee. You had it good.
Speaker 4:A light jacket and a bee.
Speaker 5:I mean crabbing for me as a kid was probably deadly, as catch too with all the mosquitoes and West Nile virus and everything.
Speaker 4:Alligators hanging out.
Speaker 5:I mean literally just throwing kids out in the middle of a swamp with some herky neck and string.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and while the adults are crabbing, the kids are throwing stuff at the alligators.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, here's where my VP comes out.
Speaker 2:Are you put the bee? In the fishing pole and put alligators.
Speaker 3:We went crabbing at the state camp. Now I can't exactly tell you where it is. It's south of Interco City and if you put me in a boat I can take you there. I'm crabbing with my dad. I'm maybe seven, eight, so when this happened it seemed a little bit bigger than what it actually was. Alligator got my triathlon tied around his neck and as I'm pulling it up I'm like this thing is amazing. And out of the water comes this giant gator, or what I thought was a giant gator. I was like seven, so it was probably a four footer.
Speaker 1:I thought it was like a 40 footer.
Speaker 3:Dude. I went screaming for my daddy Dude.
Speaker 4:Does he still talk about that? Because I feel like he does, because I hit his truck back in 2004.
Speaker 5:And he still talks about that you hit it with what?
Speaker 4:I hit it with my truck. Where was his truck Parked? In the parking lot.
Speaker 3:And had been there for how long.
Speaker 5:Before I got there for sure, was the sun out, or was it dark and you couldn't see it? No, were you drunk or were you sober?
Speaker 4:It was like seven o'clock in the morning. So I mean this is still up in there, so probably drunk still.
Speaker 3:Allegedly so in theory you could have got a DWI in my driveway.
Speaker 4:I'm sure I've got a DWI in your driveway.
Speaker 5:We need to find you some better coffee to wake up in the morning. Next segment we'll figure out how to get Eric more awake.
Speaker 1:It's the R2RO radio show this is Planet Radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. R2ro radio version. Radio edit with Craig Chuck Scott.
Speaker 4:You all been down.
Speaker 3:We're still covering this.
Speaker 4:Matt's still here, and Eric too.
Speaker 1:Eric and Matt are still here and they just can't make it around the table somehow, someway. We can't, it's OK. Do we need to? We? Just need to tell people who says this is me.
Speaker 3:They were listening to the last segment and the one before that what if they didn't pick up the show until now?
Speaker 5:if they're still listening, then God bless their yes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I agree, I agree. I'm sorry for what I'm putting in your ear.
Speaker 5:There's way better.
Speaker 1:We're hoping that we're entertaining some people. I'm hoping no, there's no, really, at nine o'clock on a Thursday probably not not right now, no, but I'm not.
Speaker 5:But I mean we're gonna have a top golf soon. That's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that'll be well, they can listen to the put the radio show at the top golf I would I would pretty exciting times for laugh.
Speaker 2:yet, man, we go.
Speaker 4:Yeah, we're on.
Speaker 2:We just got finished driving as a group all the way to hour and a half. They go play top golf. Yep, now we're gonna have one a couple blocks from Scott and I thought, and Eric's house yeah, I realized that I mean technically from all of our house. Yeah right around the corner from our house.
Speaker 4:This is only the second top golf in Louisiana. This is also only the second Dave and Buster's in Louisiana. Oh, so we're gonna have a top golf and a Dave and Buster's Next door to each other, and there are no other cities that have both. Oh wait, new Orleans has the Dave.
Speaker 5:And the New.
Speaker 4:Orleans has the Dave and Buster's no top golf and Ben Rich has a top golf, but neither one have the other there's no Dave and Buster's in Baton Rouge. There is no other Dave and Buster's in this state. Oh wow, so we have both of them side by side. You can hit a ball to the other one, hey man. We did get extra points for that.
Speaker 3:Yes, do you win? Like free video game tickets.
Speaker 1:You probably got a score from top golf to Dave and Buster's if you do that.
Speaker 5:Give you fictional points on a screen. It's even better than paper tickets. Yeah, stuff you can trade in.
Speaker 4:Then if you look, our top golf is gonna be two stories. If you start looking at top golf, they have a lot of one-story top golfs. I don't know if one day they changed their mind and started going bigger. But it's a smaller city things. So if you start looking at city sizes, we're not name it Nowhere's near the two-story top golf sizes, no.
Speaker 1:So we're gonna two story. We are getting a two-story. I've never seen any top golf, so that what? In three stories? But the only ones I've been to is Houston. Well, one in Houston, they're both on. Pittsburgh oh so that's not normally three stories, all the ones I've ever been to with three stories, okay, yeah, it's like playing golf.
Speaker 5:But bowling, yeah right, cuz it's, you know you got beer to be, bring your beer and food and all that stuff. And kids got games. They make it as fun, you know, like with the bumpers on bowling it's. You don't really have to learn how to play golf, that fun playing. No.
Speaker 4:No way we did it the other day was really cool, because we put the kids on one side and let them just do whatever they wanted to do, and they got those what's that game called with the little anger bird. They got anger birds they can play, and then they had some other low game that they were playing, all kind. They didn't have to hit it in a hole, they just had to hit it somewhere, and then I had to go out computer animated, did stuff, yep, and it made them happy Yep, and that was dope, and they never came.
Speaker 1:Mess with us in our bay. Not at all. The only time we got messed with in our bay was when my kid came over and was like, come help me Pick the right club, and then it turned into come hit one for me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yo, these people just wants to beat these kids down? Okay, don't question, I already get all the balls back. You don't, they don't forever yeah what I'm saying is is the Shaw's underneath it? Does it go down into one big funnel?
Speaker 5:Yeah, there's a bunch of big holes that collect it, but there's also ones that don't land in the holes. Oh, so here's probably your favorite part is they do have guys that drive around and little tractors, so you get to hit them.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, yeah, is it encouraged, you did is if I'm there.
Speaker 4:It wasn't hardly yeah sure, even with the kids.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was offering the kids money, trying to figure out how I sneak a bat in the top golf so I can more accurately hit bring you, bring you.
Speaker 4:Have a Golf Club.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah me with a golf club. You think that's going anywhere? I wanted to go.
Speaker 4:I don't think you and a bat's gonna go anywhere. She wanted to go.
Speaker 3:Going in the same direction. If I'm hitting with a golf club, everybody better duck.
Speaker 4:I don't think all of a sudden because you have a bat your athletic.
Speaker 5:I mean speaking of everybody duck with a golf club. I know a long time ago. Did you hide to learn how to play golf and we took lessons, oh God, and it was out there to add a Katie deals right back at the old, a cave deals for it shut down and they have a big old Not big, but a metal building that you take it in and the guys got a thing that watches you swing with cameras and all that so you can show you what you're doing wrong right, so me and Eric and a couple other friends out there learn to play golf, and I don't know who it was.
Speaker 5:Was it you? Yeah, so the guy opens up the big roll of door and you actually hit golf balls out the building. I mean, it's probably five feet from where you are to the outside. Oh, please tell me, you know it goes and pulls back and hits it as hard as he came and Rikershade throughout the entire building.
Speaker 4:Everybody was ducking diving.
Speaker 5:Friends where it is who ducked behind you.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I smoked it cuz I was like I'm about to show this camera in this dude, I'm about to smoke this ball pop and I did, and it didn't go out the building, it didn't leave the building and almost everybody get it, so he said he had a video that would tell you what you were doing wrong.
Speaker 3:Did it just say everything? It went into error mode Like this is too much stupid.
Speaker 2:I cannot compute yeah please try again, try again.
Speaker 1:Can you actually swing?
Speaker 3:a golf club this time, because you obviously were not doing anything.
Speaker 1:It's the R2RO radio show this planet, radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet, or to our radio, edit radio version radio. Moving into our next topic, because we can't say names anymore, we're gonna just talk about coffee, I think. So that's great, yeah, and we have that's got over there mad. Scott and Chuck, I'm here, we'll get. We'll get in there one of these days. Do it the correct radio train way.
Speaker 3:None of us you do it the correct radio.
Speaker 4:Where'd you go to?
Speaker 1:radio training it.
Speaker 4:Uh, I went to the chris logan chris logan text message school of chris five five minutes before the segment started.
Speaker 1:Hey man, we could probably do it like this. Did you teach him about?
Speaker 3:trains.
Speaker 1:No, I do not. I, it's train training train radio, train train, train, train, train training train train.
Speaker 4:Oh, oh, no, all right.
Speaker 1:Great radio radio. We're talking about coffee and, uh, I don't drink coffee, so I don't. I got, I got nothing. You don't go, may you do.
Speaker 2:But this is more than just coffee. This is you don't. This is caffeine, like we're just talking about so we're having a conversation about Drinking coffee or trying to stop drinking coffee caffeine, caffeine, alternatives kind of just I Do intake caffeine In a v8 energy.
Speaker 1:I don't know what kind of caffeine that is, but it doesn't do the same thing to me as coffee does. So I don't. But I don't drink coffee. How?
Speaker 5:do you maintain your alertness through the day? Yeah, for some people like me, I'm not a morning person. I don't even get going in the morning, because if I want to operate on the world's time, then yeah, I'm always a person.
Speaker 5:Right now it's. I have a cup of coffee in the morning but it gives me I can't have more than a cup. It actually makes my stomach. So it's not the caffeine. I know some people have problems like getting all jittery and, yeah, for me it's just trying to figure out something that's less acidic, I guess, than that coffee. Then coffee.
Speaker 4:So I've drank coffee for quite a long time, and about 11, 12, 13 days ago 13 days ago, I think I quit Cold air so I got a those little fit a drinks that we drink. There's a caffeine one, yeah, okay. So I got that one one day and I'm reading about it. And the caffeine you said you didn't know where the caffeine was from the other one. So the caffeine and tea and the caffeine and coffee don't work the same. First of all, really. So one of them has L to with some other letters behind it, the. I don't even. Yeah, no, maybe. So one of them has this LTH, I'm sure. Lca nine, lca nine, okay. So the. What the LCA nine is doing is it's combining, combating how the coffee works in your body, okay, so I'm not going to go into that, but what?
Speaker 5:I think they say that it helps remove the jitters from when you drink a bunch of coffee. That's why you don't get so jittery.
Speaker 4:Okay, Right, and I think it has something to do with how the coffee spikes. It goes up real high and it comes down real high. Yeah, and it's the L, d and on, the Spanish word is so and I know the caffeine.
Speaker 4:from what I understand, the caffeine works the same, but this L thea, whatever it's turning something on and off in your brain and whenever it turns off in your brain from coffee, when it turns back on, you still have all these things that were there. And then all of a sudden they just flood your body. So your body's like, all right, we're closing this gate, and it lets it all stack up. And then it opens the gate and then you crash hard. Okay, so that's what the coffee is.
Speaker 3:Okay, l, d and N kind of works like that other ingredient in ayahuasca that makes your stomach actually be able to process.
Speaker 4:Yes, it helps you to process it. It takes your call, it takes the tea and it spreads you out over hours, many hours. Okay. So you don't go real peak high and then peak crash and all this other stuff. Okay. So the reason I figured this out is because I was drinking that drink, that Fide with caffeine. Well, the Fide with caffeine it really started messing with me. If I drink any kind of regular coffee, 10 ounces later I have the jitters. It's not jitters, it's. My face is getting really red.
Speaker 5:I need to go sit in my truck and turn the air conditioner on in my face he turns into like the Kool-Aid man, like his face is all red and he's like once. I run through the wall Run through the wall.
Speaker 4:Yeah, Like I, and I will run through who's ever is in the way between me and the air condition. Yeah, and it gets real bad. So for a really long time I'm very specific about the coffee I drink. It's only I have to watch it being ground. If I don't see the coffee being ground, I'm out. I don't want nothing to do with it. If it's pre-ground, I don't know what's in it.
Speaker 5:I don't want nothing to do with it, so you basically only drink coffee at your house?
Speaker 4:I guess, yeah, but then there's like McDonald's, and then there's the racetrack. You could watch them grind in front of you. So you learn, but McDonald's is one that grind their own beans?
Speaker 3:Do you make eye contact while they grind your beans and like stare them down?
Speaker 4:Yes, yes, yes, grind it harder. I wait so, so wait. So this is a why I quit drinking coffee. While I was drinking that thing, it also had new tropics in it, right so?
Speaker 1:what's a new tropic? I have no idea Exactly. Joe Rogan talks about it.
Speaker 4:Joe Rogan talks about it. A lot of people talk about new tropics and how amazing they are. Blah, blah, blah, blah blah. But when you open what is a new tropic? There's a whole list of stuff down all the way. At the bottom of the list You'll find Adderall Whoa. Okay. So that threw me into a whole different level of whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 4:So I can't take Adderall, because if I take Adderall, y'all gonna meet me at the hospital. Yeah, I had it. It's too much for me, it's too much for my heart. So I was having this feeling while I was drinking this fit aid with green tea, caffeine, and I'm like wait, because tea doesn't do this to me, yeah, so I started reading about the new tropics, and there are natural new tropics there, or synthetic new tropics, just like everything else we got there's different. So Adderall was one. So then I started paying attention to that.
Speaker 4:After that I decided that I'm cutting coffee out and I got to give it a shot. Okay, cause I have a lot of anxiety. In the afternoons I just I'm amped up and I'm ready to go Right. So the first few days I quit coffee and I was a whole different person. My anxiety was gone in the afternoons. Now, but what was it? At nine o'clock in the morning, I'm still half asleep at work. I'm just sitting there like zoned out, looking at around the room like, uh, all right, I'm ready to go home now.
Speaker 3:So I don't know if it is so.
Speaker 4:I've tried a few different alternatives since then and I started reading a lot more about it, so the latest thing I'm on right now is some organic green tea with some matcha matcha M-A-T-C-H.
Speaker 3:Puchanya matcha.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it sounds just like that I'll put you in your matcha.
Speaker 1:That's what it does for him in the morning, so that he can function during the day.
Speaker 3:So look, there you go, pay me, stop making all that tea stuff.
Speaker 4:I'll punch you in the matcha.
Speaker 5:And you're going to be awake. We have all those coffee shops out there now. We're just going to start putting those out of business. We're going to open up our own line of tea shops Punching your matcha.
Speaker 4:I got you in your matcha. I got you in the drive-thru, all right. Well, yes, I would like some matcha.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I mean I don't need anything to keep me awake, so I'll be punching people at five o'clock in the morning, just like punching people at three o'clock in the afternoon. Get after people. I'm awake, y'all.
