1

1:20

need to get me back for not

1:22

remembering the anniversary. How

1:25

so? She

1:27

forced me to go out to BJ's

1:30

Wholesale Club. Oh, I love BJ's.

1:32

Is it a few

1:33

days like Costco? More of Costco better

1:35

or Costco So we're saying, no, nobody says

1:37

Some are saying Nobody says they come on as

1:39

a sponsor. I I sent Sonia I sent Sonia

1:41

a headline from SB Nation criticizing

1:44

Kirk Cousins. It wasn't much of a criticism. And

1:46

the headline no. It was a it was meant It wasn't criticism.

1:49

The criticism was the headline on the story

1:51

was, Kirk Cousins will never win

1:53

anything because he's a Costco hot dog.

1:55

Wow. Yo. Hold on.

2:03

Yep. Best

2:04

deal That's the deal. Yeah.

2:06

But it is both insult

2:08

and compliment because

2:09

it is But it is. It's delicious. And

2:12

it is delicious value, but

2:14

you're never gonna win any restaurant

2:17

with it.

2:18

Exactly. He's reading run a war. Two things

2:20

about that. It's a buck fifty economical. You

2:22

eat it. You have fun. You go

2:23

around. Yeah? That's it. Damn the pizza. Oh,

2:25

the pizza too is good. Oh, the pizzas. I

2:28

I think also with the Costco hotdog,

2:30

you can only eat it from one to four

2:32

o'clock in the afternoon. Otherwise, it's

2:34

going to ruin your your

2:37

digestive

2:38

track, and it's going to be it's

2:40

going to leave your body

2:42

unpleasantly if you have it later

2:44

in the day. One of my favorite things

2:46

about the Costco hotdog is that it

2:48

is not the meal in and of itself,

2:50

but merely the capper. Of a great

2:52

day at Costco picking up on

2:54

samples. I had some broccoli cheddar soup over

2:56

here. Got to try this Philly

2:58

cheese steak thing. It was very delicious right

3:00

there. Some cheese and crackers over

3:02

here, then you get an energy drink, an

3:04

energy drink to wash that all down, then

3:06

maybe a little dessert. Maybe it's like a

3:08

cut up energy bar or something like

3:10

that. And after you've done all that, you

3:12

pay for yourself, you stop off, you get the hotdog

3:14

in the soda. We're gone. Then you then you

3:16

get some gas. Yeah. Yeah. Get

3:18

some gas in the way home, chief is gas in Tesla,

3:20

by the way. So look at us the other way.

3:22

IIII bought my dad

3:24

at Tesla. Right? What?

3:27

This is like

3:27

used a few months ago, but here's

3:30

the thing. Sometimes I use the Tesla,

3:32

so I've noticed that whenever

3:34

I go to Costco, and in front of

3:36

Tesla, there's nobody in that gas line.

3:39

It's free and clear. The moment I

3:41

take my car, it's like

3:43

like, gas line to the seventies. Yeah. It's like

3:46

eight hundred

3:46

cars. Just mass

3:48

hurricane is coming tomorrow.

3:50

It's the worst. To play with those gas, things,

3:52

though, b j's that go to b j's, shout out to b

3:54

j's. Thing with those gas, things, loads of billings.

3:57

Thank you. See what that is, you you don't

3:59

have to worry about because, like, most cars I don't

4:01

know if you guys have noticed. Most cars,

4:03

at least the cars that I've had, have the gas

4:06

on the left hand

4:07

side. Oh,

4:08

you've got the right hand side? No. Some

4:10

have the right hand side. They they make the hoses.

4:12

Yeah. They go all the way around the cars. Yeah.

4:14

So I always go on a less popular side

4:16

and I just walk around and I hold

4:18

it. That's

4:18

every gas station.

4:20

No. Not in my air station. Not here right out there

4:22

a year. No.

4:23

Shout out to Arizona.

4:24

I'm gonna

4:25

flip it to you too. Shout out to Arizona grabbing

4:27

gas station. But the tourism board is

4:29

small to you.

4:29

Hey. Look. We got a Super Bowl and the golf tournament

4:32

coming up. It showed

4:32

you're just buying your dad cars, 1 was

4:35

like a little nugget. We just dropped in nuts.

4:37

Like, you made it. I

4:38

mean, like, I I'd

4:39

like to this is a lifetime of me

4:41

not getting him shit.

4:43

Yeah. Right. Yeah. So you guys somewhere now

4:45

you're even But the the best part is, like, I think

4:47

I drive it more than he does. Because I'm

4:49

a because here's my thing is, like, if there's AAA

4:52

air in that you gotta run, that's longer

4:54

than, like, three or four

4:55

miles, why would I burn gas? Why

4:57

wouldn't I take the electric card and just go

4:59

wherever? I got my father one

5:02

time in

5:02

my youth and atari on

5:04

father's day. Mhmm. What? You guys didn't

5:06

even play video. I mean, got a Tesla.

5:09

Well, you try. You you like, you want you wanna

5:11

sort of have this sort of shared interest. So

5:13

you you you reach out there We got my

5:15

dad recently a Nintendo Switch and he

5:17

absolutely loves

5:17

it. We were stunned by it. We were stunned

5:19

by it. But yeah.

5:21

Like, you you try you try to have those bondings or that

5:24

that that sounds like a a more that

5:26

sounds like a worse version of me. Like --

5:28

Yeah. -- I bought my dad something I knew

5:30

I'd love to use. That's correct. That's exactly

5:32

what I did.

5:33

That's I was forty one years old.

5:36

Yeah. You guys are

5:38

doing judgment stuff with BJ's

5:41

and Costco's that I don't necessarily understand,

5:44

Billy. You were on the correct side of

5:46

this. By saying by celebrating BJ's

5:49

and saying why is it an inferior product

5:52

to Costco? But I feel like the rest of

5:54

the group was looking down

5:56

at your love of

5:57

BJ's. Oh, man. I love them all. BJ's

5:59

Costco's No. You can't do that. No. No. No. You can't do that.

6:01

No. No. No. You can't do that. No. No.

6:02

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. You can't do No. No. No.

6:04

No. No. No. No people. I don't have to pick 1. Well,

6:06

you do. You do because you have to pay a membership

6:08

price now. Yes. Well, you don't worry about

6:10

it. You pay them for all of them. There's ways. Don't

6:12

worry about ways. There's a lot of people.

6:14

I

6:14

can't tell you the pride I have when I pull

6:17

up my Costco. Now it's on the AppREUM

6:18

executive member. Yes. And it

6:21

says -- Wow. -- member. Twenty plus

6:23

years of life. They stop

6:24

counting. Twenty

6:24

plus years of being

6:25

stopped counting,

6:26

verbally. Area is

6:27

like, you know, he's been here all. I have to be have

6:29

to be honest. I I hate

6:31

I I don't I hate going to Walmart, and I hate

6:33

going to to to wholesale clubs

6:35

-- No. -- because -- Loveball. -- first

6:37

off, like, I live in a studio apartment. I

6:39

couldn't carry into my apartment,

6:42

all of the things that you can get. You can't if you try

6:44

it at at a concert wholesale club. So,

6:46

like, III only buy, like, sort of, what

6:48

I need for very short periods of time And

6:50

so it's actually one of the things I'm looking forward

6:52

to about homeownership is

6:54

getting into the wholesale club

6:55

game. No. Right now, it's it's completely

6:58

unnecessary. Like, as

6:59

a twenty plus year vet practice. I

7:01

started in

7:02

a shitty apartment that was across from that

7:04

lab --

7:04

Mhmm. --

7:05

in Mesa, Arizona. Learn right.

7:07

I'm telling you Like, I think Arizona

7:10

is twenty percent meth less.

7:11

It was at the time. The What

7:13

does it got for y'all? Ramon at Levittard

7:16

Show is Mesa, Arizona twenty

7:18

percent meth labs. I I

7:20

lived right off of

7:21

Apache, which was used to be the

7:23

old Route sixty six, So they have all

7:25

these motels with the low signs.

7:28

But because they built freeways,

7:31

now it's not a highway. It's just a street.

7:33

So The only use for those

7:35

motels is for the world's oldest

7:37

profession. So -- Yep. -- routinely,

7:39

it just be like, come on after dark. They're

7:41

just there. Locksmith.

7:42

Right? Do we know that that is

7:44

indeed the world's oldest profession? Is

7:47

there somebody on

7:49

on behalf of the coal mining industry saying,

7:51

you know what? Hold on a second. I

7:53

don't believe that -- Yeah. -- I

7:55

had to meet on the sex

7:56

work. Here's here's how I know. Because

7:59

it took human beings having to discover

8:01

oh, this cold is pretty pretty useful.

8:03

No matter how quickly they discovered

8:06

that, it was a little less good than I

8:08

want some more of

8:08

that. Right. Yeah. That was the

8:10

first decision. You don't think you don't think

8:12

you don't think food would have like because yeah.

8:15

Like a hunter. Right. Exactly. Like, paying,

8:17

like, paying paying someone to hunt for

8:18

you. I feel like is or or, I guess, in that

8:20

time, murdering. You

8:21

know what so many people would have done for a dollar

8:23

fifty hotdog?

8:25

Literally nothing. And I'll do anything

8:27

else. Attention. Well, in the

8:29

air right now, I know I can't. Do

8:31

you have anything that you get for

8:33

special benefits, for pulling

8:34

out, what did you call it? Extreme --

8:37

Exactly. Exactly.

8:39

Yeah.

8:39

Yep. So here here's what happened. I

8:41

guess status and It's a

8:42

black card.

8:43

It's a black card. Once

8:43

you pull up the black card, they they, like, usher you

8:46

in. Really? Where would you like to go first?

8:48

There's

8:48

different cards. You

8:49

have a a personal shopper that has

8:51

courts you around it.

8:52

Push the card. Yeah. Mhmm. Also,

8:54

you get a certain percentage cashback. They

8:56

send it to you in a check at the end of the year. Now

8:59

here's the problem. Because me and my

9:01

brother signed up at the same time, like, on

9:03

the same account. He's like, oh, I just put my

9:05

address down. Oh. Not

9:07

realizing he's thousands

9:09

of dollars at this point. Twenty plus

9:10

years, thousands of dollars in

9:13

these Costco checks. Oh,

9:14

Richard, than you? You're saying like

9:15

Yeah. Because he's he's gonna I'm not getting the I'm not getting

9:17

the check. Why

9:18

don't you split off and form your own?

9:20

Well, not twenty

9:21

years. Yeah. That would be

9:23

a

9:23

rookie. Like like with

9:25

the white and red card,

9:26

Yeah. Or or

9:26

even the bottom.

9:27

Like Billy just walking around, lost. Like,

9:30

oh, in BJ's. It's over here.

9:32

Excuse

9:32

you. What is that supposed to

9:33

around loss. You're a BJ's. You're a BJ's. You're a BJ's. You

9:35

walk in the Costco. You're gonna be blown away.

9:37

Exactly. Dude, I don't have anything against

9:39

Costco either. No, you do. I feel like

9:41

you had pick one. You had to pick a side. I

9:43

chose not to. I said, I don't have to pick a side. I'll tell you

9:45

one of these one of these things here, I mean. I

9:47

don't know what the home saying. So I remember as

9:49

a child when I was a

9:51

kid, as a child as most people are.

9:53

Right. 1 went and and my

9:55

parents had a Costco membership.

9:57

Right? And because you were kids similar to like the

9:59

thing of Publix where they give you like a free

10:01

cookie, They said, oh, little kid, like, do you want your

10:03

own Costco card? So they went and they

10:05

took a picture of me and my sister. As

10:07

though we had our own Costco card, I remember, I don't think

10:09

it was an official card. It was basically just

10:11

picture in like a laminated card

10:14

thing. Never forget, I was wearing a

10:16

t shirt from the show dinosaurs with the

10:18

little not the mama baby on. And

10:20

I had that in my little Velcro wallet,

10:22

and I'd walk around as though I was like,

10:24

you know, a Busy You'll have it? What's

10:26

that? Sure. Do you the card? Do you still have

10:28

the card? Somewhere. I think I do. I think if I go around and

10:30

I find my Velcro wallet that has, like,

10:32

little baseball, basketball, baseball bat

10:34

on it. Right? Open up the velcro. I'll

10:36

have, like, probably my t ball picture in

10:38

it, and I'll have my little Costco card with

10:40

my not the mom. Your baby sure guy from the

10:42

beginning. Why'd you turn your back? I didn't turn

10:44

my back. Feels like you did. You did. No.

10:46

Frater? Well, I think I know what's

10:48

happening here with Billy being noncommittal. What's

10:50

that? He's he's trying to see if any

10:52

1 of three major ones will be will --

10:54

Oh. -- officer missing info. Not gonna be Costco.

10:56

He doesn't he doesn't wanna

10:58

publicly declare until the influencer

11:01

money

11:01

arrives. That category is still open. Are

11:03

you totally for sale, ma'am? A

11:06

fine totally Well, your every opinion

11:08

seems to be sort of clouded

11:10

or out of any

11:12

advice. Some concern well,

11:15

your your every opinion around

11:17

anything that might have a sponsor chip

11:19

possibility. I don't like what's going on

11:21

here around these parts. Are you looking at

11:23

me? Because you started this. How?

11:25

You started this across the hall. I

11:27

said, you know what? New Year? New

11:30

Me. I wanna be an influencer

11:32

this year. I like it. I keep trying to chest not

11:34

checkers. I love them. I'm trying to put in work to

11:36

do this and make it happen. You know, it

11:38

started out with the Wendy's card, with the

11:41

frosties, free frosty every time I go to Wendy's

11:43

shout out to Wendy's. And now what

11:45

happens? You come over here, you start

11:47

propelling me, you go across the hall, and I told you

11:49

some of the work that I've been putting in, you then start

11:51

to try to copy the work that I'm

11:53

doing, to clearly undercut

11:55

me. I'm not undercutting your calls to be

11:57

made to undercut me. This town is big

11:59

enough for both of us. Okay? You can take certain

12:01

things. I can take certain things and we split it

12:03

down the

12:03

middle. Is that the first time that expression has ever been

12:05

said that way? Normally, it's the town

12:07

isn't big enough for both of us. Miami is big

12:09

enough for both of us. Trust me, Billy. I I would

12:11

like to be the influencer. You can be

12:13

it. You can be the influencer. I have no problem. Being

12:15

influencer. I love it. Do. But you

12:16

gotta commit more if you wanna be a Costco

12:18

influencer, man. Exactly.

12:19

That's that's my larger point. I'm not sure I wanna be

12:21

a Costco influencer. No. 1, wow. It

12:23

sounds like

12:23

you wanna be a BJ's 1, closer

12:26

to my house. I'm gonna be honest with you, but I could

12:28

make the drive to Costco. Should

12:30

I need to?

12:31

Let's do top five Costco purchases.

12:34

I don't believe

12:35

anything's gonna top the dollar fifty

12:38

hotdog. So, actually, I've

12:40

got five things to top the dollar fifty

12:42

hotdog. I'm speaking to Chris

12:44

Whittingham, who is single lives

12:46

alone. And he's like, oh, Costco. I don't need that. My

12:48

place isn't big enough. Here are five

12:50

things. You absolutely need from

12:52

Costco. Right?

12:53

Okay. Number five, paper

12:56

towels. Yep. Absolutely.

12:58

You go 1, you you'll never have to

13:00

go

13:00

again. Literally that one time for you.

13:03

That seems to

13:03

be like, from from the outside looking at,

13:05

that seems to be a flaw in the Costco business

13:08

model. Is they sell things in

13:10

such bulk? In such bold,

13:12

you know, it's like, like, there there are certain

13:14

items like, if if I got like an

13:16

eighteen pack of

13:17

Clarieton, I will never need

13:19

Claritin ever again. I

13:21

think I could do a seventy five

13:23

minute podcast on the Costco business

13:25

model. It is

13:26

brilliant. It'll blow your mind. It really

13:28

is. My father, one time,

13:30

was on the wrong

13:32

medication and the real the way we

13:34

realized as a family that he was

13:36

on the long medication is

13:38

he had hidden in his car

13:41

a tub of Costco cashews

13:44

that would have lasted an office

13:47

a lifetime -- Uh-huh. -- and he

13:49

was just destroying me.

13:52

Like like, there was something

13:54

happening with there was something

13:56

happening with the medication that was making

13:58

him eat pistachios at what

14:00

would be a lethal rate for

14:02

any other human

14:03

being. My god. His

14:05

cash levels are off the charts. It was

14:07

it was

14:09

just staggering the amount of cash used

14:11

to Your vital your

14:12

vital side your blood pressure,

14:14

your pulse, and your amount of your

14:16

catch up level.

14:17

I'd like to take a meme up

14:19

on the offer of a seventy five minute

14:21

autocalls and where Yeah. I I Where

14:24

from mister can we do this from mister mister mister

14:26

mister mister mister mister mister mister mister mister mister mister mister mister mister mister mister Okay.

14:33

Okay. Number four, toilet

14:35

paper. Yep. Again,

14:38

you go once. You'll never have to go

14:40

again. Now some people Some

14:42

people I like the Kirkland brand. Some people on the

14:44

Kirkland brand isn't gentle

14:47

enough. I like a

14:49

middle

14:49

door. I don't like those scratchy paper

14:51

office type TP,

14:53

but I also don't like

14:54

No one likes that. Right? No.

14:55

No one likes the scratch. Really

14:58

soft. Bill characters.

14:59

They're like a lotiony ones. I don't like

15:01

those

15:01

angel

15:02

soft. I

15:02

don't see angel

15:03

soft, Charmin. Too soft. For you

15:05

too soft.

15:05

I like Kirkland brand, like some

15:08

coarseness.

15:08

A little bit.

15:09

A little bit. Gotta texture. Some grip

15:11

and some grip. There you go. Some

15:13

grip. But again, like the

15:15

paper towels, you get it

15:16

once, you won't have to go again, and they don't go bad.

15:18

So, like, you can just storm under your bed

15:20

or whatever.

15:20

Number three, some grip. Yeah.

15:22

You hit toilet paper. Fires.

15:25

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

15:27

No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

15:29

No. No.

15:31

It's too hard to do it yourself to

15:34

need the toilet paper to provide

15:36

some courses. You don't want

15:37

1 slippage. Have you

15:37

ever tried to, like, clean up a mess on the

15:40

counter with, like, a tissue,

15:42

like a like a Kleenex. There's there's

15:43

nothing worse when you grab a tissue by mistake. They

15:46

just

15:46

go yeah. They just little

15:48

grains of

15:49

the tissue end up everywhere. Right. Yeah.

15:51

Exactly. Nice. With integrity. I've yet

15:53

to find the paper towel that does

15:55

what the paper towel commercials do where

15:57

it's just Just one paper

15:58

towel, clean up this whole mess, and it's like, very

16:01

careful not to name name a brand name, by the

16:03

way. Right. Exactly. Number

16:05

three. Frozen

16:07

breakfast Sandoz. A

16:10

fifty boxes, not five bucks.

16:12

This is a thing for you

16:13

specifically.

16:14

Right? And You're

16:15

on the go. Yes. Wait a sec. Are you in too much of

16:17

a hurry to say sandwiches? Like, what

16:19

are you here? I 1 this

16:21

is the time you chose to be

16:22

fishing. You wanted to make sandwiches Sandoz.

16:25

Sandoz, Dano. You

16:27

put them in the freezer, and

16:29

here's the thing. You're on the go. You gotta

16:31

move sometimes you gotta leave early to get here

16:34

early. You have whole lot of time to be like, I'm gonna crack

16:36

and I'm gonna nope. Just pop

16:38

these sixty seconds on thirty

16:40

percent and then another forty

16:42

seconds on

16:43

on the hundred percent? You're

16:46

good.

16:46

What is this percent thing?

16:47

On your micro your microcontroller? The power the

16:49

power line

16:49

with. Can can you I have a microwave. I've

16:52

I've never I I don't think I can Yeah. You can

16:54

lower the 1.

16:55

every microwave can lower

16:56

wattage. That's

16:57

how it look.

16:58

Except for the Tony Dungey. Yeah.

17:01

That's that's always

17:02

possible

17:03

wattage. Number two number two

17:06

dinner rolls. The

17:08

the trash bag of dinner bowls that you

17:09

can get. That cost like the

17:12

Hawaiian ones? Or what are you doing? They're

17:14

kinda similar, but a little sweet and a little I

17:16

don't know what the other kind of word is.

17:18

It's It's

17:20

sweet and savory.

17:22

Oh, but not as sweet as a

17:23

wine room. But the key thing that Tony said, it

17:26

literally comes in a trash bag. It's clear you're

17:28

massive. Now here's the number. Where am I gonna keep

17:29

all of

17:30

those? So this won't that go

17:31

bad? It was out of my house.

17:32

Hold on. Yes. Hold on.

17:35

Yes. It will go bad at some point. You will never

17:37

finish it. I have a family. I have seven people

17:39

living in my house. We never finish

17:41

it. But the value is such

17:43

that you don't give a shit. You'll throw away the rest.

17:46

Exactly. And they're so

17:46

delicious. And they go with everything.

17:49

Everything's giving. I have them. Oh, I make

17:50

sure to go get them because they run out. Yep. They run

17:52

out. I'm telling you. How much does that

17:54

cost? The trash bag full luxury dinner

17:57

roll? Like four like four bucks. How long did

17:59

they last though? Like, if if I

18:01

am saying to you, I'm gonna

18:03

buy it now. I've got a family of seven and

18:05

we are going to pound on every

18:07

meal rolls. How long will

18:09

it last before it gets

18:11

mildewy and it gets bad

18:12

weeks? Yeah.

18:13

Two weeks. But again, I'm one person.

18:15

How am I gonna eat all

18:16

of those people? Four dollars. You will

18:18

have to eat them. Need as

18:19

many as you can. A

18:22

good reason for it. You you could yeah. You could freeze it and then you

18:24

pop them back in the air fryer. Yeah. Oh, minutes

18:26

on four hundred. See, now I'm learning

18:29

something. I I thought once they come out, they're never

18:31

quite the

18:31

same. But you're telling me you can bring them back

18:33

into the air fryer can

18:34

reanimate anything. Literally, I think I'm I'm convinced they

18:36

could reanimate a corpse. There

18:38

you go. I air fry my grandmother. Still

18:41

with us.

18:43

1. Number one. This goes

18:46

without

18:46

it. Licker. I mean, yeah. I mean, you

18:49

get absolutely. Gallon.

18:52

Gallons for, like, eighteen

18:54

dollars of top shelf premium

18:55

stuff, really. Yeah,

18:58

man. I don't buy I don't go into liquor stores

19:00

anymore. It's

19:00

got its

19:01

own separate -- Yeah. -- like section two.

19:04

Yeah.

19:04

And and by the way, don't be

19:07

scared of the Kirkland brand liquors.

19:09

Thank you. I mean -- Mhmm. -- why it's below you. Right?

19:11

Because Costco in its imminent wisdom,

19:13

and this is part of the seventy five minute podcast you're

19:15

gonna do. Don't give all the good stuff away. Not all of

19:17

this, but just this one. 1 in

19:19

its imminent wisdom. Has partnered with

19:22

these liquor companies, hey, you wanna have

19:24

your liquor in our store?

19:26

That's fine, but you know what you do.

19:28

You gotta break us off some of it to put a curriculum

19:30

label on it. So

19:32

the most, you know, known example

19:34

is the grey Goose vodka. Gregor's

19:36

vodka is a top shelf vodka, but

19:38

Kirkland brand vodka is the same vodka just has

19:40

a Kirkland label on

19:41

it. Really?

19:43

Yes. Same factory, same battery thing that

19:45

they just put in a separate thing. It has, like,

19:47

end of the line, half goes this

19:49

way, half goes that way. The ones that go this way,

19:52

get into the, you know, the gray goose bottle that's very

19:54

beautiful. And the other one goes into the Kirkland

19:56

brand one which is very utilitarian. But

19:59

guess

19:59

what? Same vodka

19:59

in there. Same grape tastes

20:02

much better value. It seems

20:03

like you gave it

20:04

all the way. He told you you gave it all the way.

20:06

That's no. No.

20:07

The concept. That's just the tip of the ice cream. You think

20:10

that's that's the Costco, see

20:12

crystal on this guy without

20:14

giving it all the way. The

20:16

seventy five minute future Costco's

20:20

brilliant business strategy. Isn't

20:22

the greatest thing that

20:25

makes Costco as

20:27

popular as it is

20:30

that not only do you

20:32

feel everybody wants to get a

20:34

bargain, like you're getting extraordinary

20:37

value, but Also, every once in a while, they throw in this

20:39

hotdog and you're like, well, it's also

20:41

good. It's not something that is

20:43

simply a value. I'm not just

20:45

getting a ton of something. I'm also

20:48

surprised about how much of a

20:50

ton of something I'm getting that's

20:52

not shitty counterparty less than diluted.

20:54

Quality. At at at risk of

20:57

ruining a BJ partnership with

20:59

my self. I'm gonna I'm gonna allow Billy to have that. You can

21:01

tell the difference in quality between

21:03

BJ's and Costco's in their

21:05

food court offerings. The food

21:07

court offerings at BJ's. Are

21:09

far less good than the ones

21:11

at

21:11

Costco. You know, Tony, I would love to back

21:14

you up on that except I've never

21:16

actually gone or BJ's because I

21:18

have standards. Well Yeah. A

21:19

family member. I will admit a family member is a

21:22

BJ's person. So I've gone with that person,

21:24

and I'm like, oof, what is this?

21:25

Like, I don't Did you have to go to

21:26

Costco afterwards to kinda rinse that? I did actually. Days

21:29

off of you. That's great. But, I mean, when you look at

21:31

in Kirk Cousins' numbers with the

21:33

Vikings, You 1 a hundred and fifty

21:35

three touchdowns, fifty in receptions, complete your percentage of

21:37

sixty eight career record fifty

21:39

six thirty three and one. That's a

21:41

Costco hotdog. You go, you know what?

21:44

I'm surprised given my complete inability

21:46

to win in the

21:46

playoffs. Then I've got a quarterback. This

21:49

good

21:49

Costco hotdog is undefeated.

21:52

Never lost. Who who are you

21:54

saying is the basketball player? Who is the

21:56

Costco hotdog? If Costco hotdog

21:58

is the highest praise, that you're

22:00

you're saying the highest praise you can

22:02

give on value. I've always thought

22:05

that Pollo Tropical

22:07

and Wendy's offer the best

22:09

fast food

22:10

values. Are you

22:11

here to KFC? Are you here to

22:13

argue? Yes.

22:14

Can't see it for sure. Yes. Of

22:16

course. How can I forget? I can't

22:17

even categorize Dan. I what you're saying. Sorry. You're

22:20

looking good, man. Are you

22:20

here to argue that the

22:23

Costco hotdog, the buck fifty

22:25

Costco hotdog, supplants all

22:27

of those as a value for

22:29

quality taste? Yes,

22:32

because it's it's a extraordinary

22:34

value. The only problem is the Costco

22:36

hotdog. The only way you can build

22:38

volume on that is more Costco

22:40

hot dogs at some point too many out. Those are too

22:42

many out. They're like, okay. How good they are. Right?

22:44

Whereas, I can go to Wendy's and get the four

22:46

dollars sack. I can go to KFC and

22:48

get the bucket. And there's volume in

22:50

there that I can work through. That that's

22:53

a difference. But if you ask me what NBA

22:55

player represents a Costco hotdog,

22:57

I would say Jalen Brunson. Right?

23:00

Like solid, dependable,

23:03

reliable, consistent, great

23:06

quality, not just great value, but great quality, but

23:08

also great value. Now some people, oh

23:10

my god, dude, no, I'm telling you man, dealing

23:12

with Brexit. It's not

23:14

flashy. It's not a a night

23:16

out at poppy steak. You know what? The other

23:18

thing about Costco is they don't

23:20

sell you the ingredients of

23:22

the food court out in the

23:24

regular shopping area. So you can't

23:26

buy the pizza that they

23:27

make. Well, they take home and frozen and chicken

23:30

bake. Yeah. They don't chicken they don't sell that.

23:32

sell the hotdog that they give you the bread. It's well,

23:33

honestly, makes the hotdog. They don't sell the hotdog. They

23:35

do sell. But the red is the red. No. The

23:38

no. They don't sell the button. But the hotdog,

23:41

yes. It's That's the Hebrew national. Actually, you know, I take that

23:42

back. Do they have it's Kirkland buddy. Is

23:45

it? Oh, it's Kirkland.

23:45

Is it it? Welcome

23:46

to Cinepholme. I will say one thing that we

23:48

haven't spoken about and it's been forty

23:51

five minutes on the Costco podcast

23:53

here. The one thing that makes the entire

23:55

business model work. Mhmm.

23:56

We haven't spoken

23:57

about it. Are

23:57

you gonna give this away

23:59

now? I feel

23:59

like I just wanna give them this. It'll

24:02

blow it'll

24:02

blow BJ's mind over there in the back. The

24:04

rotisserie chicken. BJ, listen to this. Oh. The

24:07

rotisserie chicken for six bucks. You

24:08

haven't been to BJ's. Like, I will not

24:10

stand for this line. Do they have a little history chicken to

24:13

BJ's? Yes. Yes. They do. It's

24:15

probably

24:15

garbage. Oh my god. Roy, you wait a minute.

24:17

Roy just got in here with an aggressive

24:19

pro BJ's stance. Billy's been alone

24:21

on the BJ's

24:22

Island. No. Because I am also

24:24

a BJ's member member. So does that too. They

24:27

got good chicken

24:27

there. It's very good. Mhmm. Not as

24:29

good as Costco. How's Dairy? Costco's chicken

24:31

is amazing. They literally write things about it on

24:33

on like Bloomberg and how it's saves

24:35

the business. Rotisserie chicken for six dollars. You

24:37

can get an entire chicken for six

24:39

dollars and they

24:40

see. And it's already prepared, it's

24:42

already made, you can't How do

24:44

they make things so cheap? I don't I'm

24:47

really

24:47

conservative. I mean, it's almost

24:49

like companies are charging you way too

24:51

much for things. Looking

24:55

for the perfect post holiday pick me

24:57

chicken, savory sauce, perfectly

25:07

cooked veggies, and topped with a golden

flaky crust. It really is the ultimate

25:12

five dollar comfort meal, only a

25:16

good.

I love the ice cream. I love the

ice cream. In garage.

27:10

Just a couple steps here. We have some

27:12

bottles of water in here

27:13

Thirsty. This is the

27:16

Dunlibetharthar show. With the

27:18

Stuttgart. President of Drive King Sportsbooks

27:20

and official Sports Betton partner of

27:22

the NBA.

27:26

I have to go do this thing where

27:29

I walk into the other room and shout. Alright, lads.

27:31

That's how everyone knows, and we have to come

27:33

back and do work. So let me go do that.

27:37

Otherwise,

27:37

they drift, bliss off into just

27:40

eating breakfast and laughing

27:42

and forgetting there at work and

27:44

everyone always loves the guy

27:46

who snaps everybody

27:48

do

27:48

attention. Right? It's a very beloved figure in

27:50

the office. It's it is

27:53

Tony just walked through with a big

27:55

thumbs down. I I don't know that

27:58

Whittingham has a shittier part of his

28:00

job. Whitty and Whitty,

28:02

is there a shittier part of your

28:04

job? Because Sure. Mike Cher

28:06

was just saying right

28:06

now, everyone loves the guy who has to come in

28:08

and tell everybody, alright, lads, and

28:11

snaps. But I I say

28:11

it's a ten minute break. And

28:14

it's minute fourteen. Oh, no. They never

28:16

oh, they never care. It's like it's a

28:18

burning hyenas. Girl, I'm making toast.

28:21

Get off my ass. Alright. I

28:23

saw your plate of toast like eight minutes

28:25

ago. Also,

28:26

if you just say at the ten minute mark,

28:28

okay, ten minutes, we'll be in there.

28:30

I'm just

28:31

Bill Bill you and me. No. You are.

28:33

Every time you

28:33

say, come on, Lads, I walk over

28:36

immediately. But why do I have to He doesn't like

28:38

he he doesn't liked doing that. That's what Mike Shore is

28:40

saying.

28:40

He likes doing that. There's a little bit of

28:42

authority if you feel there like he's not doing

28:45

it. So so hang on. Hang on. Let me just

28:47

understand what's happening here.

28:50

You are ignoring the instructions of

28:52

when to come back to work. Then

28:55

you're barking at the guy who comes

28:57

in and says, hey, it's time to get back to work. And

28:59

then not only that, you're a certain that he

29:01

actually likes doing the job. Oh,

29:03

wow. You could alleviate all of this if you

29:05

just went back inside when he was at ten

29:06

minutes. No. No.

29:07

There was no barking. I appreciate, Woody.

29:09

You're welcome on that. It's it's like

29:11

Tony's Tony was thumbsounding him

29:13

and Jessica was said, get off my ass.

29:15

I'm making toast. He's getting barked at. He's

29:18

clearly getting this poor guy, this is a

29:20

producer. There's a producer in the room, and I feel

29:22

sympathy for it. And there's a person because he is

29:24

getting barked at thank for his thankless

29:26

job that he does every day. Yep. And all you guys

29:28

would have to do is look at your watches or look at

29:30

a clock or look at your phone and say, hey, in

29:32

ten minutes, I'm gonna drift back

29:34

the office and go back to work. all you have to do. It's

29:36

not his

29:36

fault. Don't yell at him.

29:38

Billy was late during that, and

29:41

Roy Roy is still not back. See,

29:45

this is a thing.

29:47

It might have to be, like, secondary and

29:49

tertiary lads. Alright. Go out go

29:51

out out there.

29:52

Tertiary lads. Tertiary

29:54

lads sounds like AA1 hell of a

29:57

band. Billy,

29:57

how do you do

29:58

a 1 on Netflix? How do you

30:00

feel about because Whittingham was saying

30:02

he hates having to be the person

30:05

who goes out there and says,

30:07

we need to start again. And Mike sure is siding with

30:09

winning him, and he's the only one who's siding with

30:11

winning him. Saying what? What was

30:13

what was his siding with him?

30:15

Just saying that it's an unpleasant position to

30:18

put winning hand in. Nobody likes that

30:20

guy. Wow. Yeah. I mean, nobody likes winning

30:22

hand. What do you want me to tell you? I was doing

30:24

number one across the hall all and

30:26

then, you know, I took a scenic walk back.

30:28

That is rare that's rarely the culprit

30:30

for why everyone's good. Usually, everyone's

30:32

deep in conversation. And if I didn't

30:34

say lads, ten minutes or be thirty

30:36

minutes easily. Easily. I

30:38

would I would find you out there at eleven

30:40

AM. Lots of things are going on

30:42

here. Lots of moving parts. You know what

30:44

I mean? I had a dream last night Anthony died. I had to

30:46

tell Hildey about that. That was a whole thing.

30:48

She was very traumatized about it. Turns out it

30:50

wasn't true, but I was worried about

30:52

that. I told you you may have to look into billboards. There's lots of things

30:54

going on at the same time, you know. Oh,

30:56

that's right. Mike, sure you don't know this,

30:58

but we are taught talking

31:00

to billboard companies because we're feuding with

31:02

Bill's mafia now because Billy

31:05

Gill has has said

31:07

that Josh Alan has a stupid face. So

31:09

we're looking for billboards. We wanna run

31:11

counter to America's most popular

31:13

team leading Billy Gill

31:15

into the

31:15

brunch. I have a question for Because

31:18

you are someone who runs a very

31:20

successful company, you're, you know, a titan of

31:22

industry, if you will.

31:24

Yeah. So we got a legal advice from a pen

31:26

and teller show that Amin saw last night.

31:28

Yeah. I'm wondering if it's liable

31:30

to put on there that

31:33

Josh Allen likes his stupid

31:34

face. And the mean said, the pen or

31:37

teller, whichever one talks, said, no,

31:39

that he's good. He's fine to

31:41

say that. That's just an opinion. I don't think you're

31:43

you're at any legal difficulty by

31:45

doing that. If we use this photograph,

31:46

there's no idea. I'm not a lawyer,

31:48

but think

31:49

you're nice. You I think you couldn't say someone has a stupid face

31:51

out of billboard. Can we use a photograph

31:53

of Josh Allen's face to illustrate its

31:56

stupidity? That I don't know. I

31:58

would say that given he's a public

32:00

figure, there's fair use issues here, but

32:02

also you're undoubtedly just gonna rip a off the

32:04

Internet that's copyrighted and then you'll get

32:05

No. We gotta

32:06

find one that's public domain or take

32:08

one ourselves, I think. We've got a get no.

32:10

We've got a getty account, do we?

32:12

Oh, how about this? Does this cover us if

32:14

we do a screenshot of a Google search? So

32:16

you can just see at the

32:17

top, Josh Allen. And then we're, like, clearly

32:20

showing we don't own the photo. No.

32:23

No. No. You don't get to use a photo just

32:25

you prove that don't own it. You're just doing the

32:27

other lawyer's legal work for

32:28

them. I have

32:29

an idea. What what if we get MENA to

32:31

do an artistic watercolor rendering?

32:35

And get her permission to use that. And then we're

32:37

putting our own spin on it so that

32:39

constitutes as fair

32:40

use. Right? And then we're putting an opinion next

32:42

to it. And it's a We have to bleep her

32:44

though.

32:44

I don't think she probably want her her her her her She doesn't

32:46

wanna be within the thousands

32:48

of these. She's not gonna continue. But

32:50

also, You get in

32:51

trouble for that too sometimes. Like sheppard Ferry

32:54

Hope poster, the Obama Hope poster

32:57

was was made from, I believe,

32:59

copyrighted image and there was a whole legal battle over that. So you'd have

33:01

to, like someone would have to truly

33:03

make a painting based on,

33:06

like, watch a game that he's in

33:08

and just like capture an image that

33:10

is not already a

33:11

photo. We can get one

33:12

of those people from like the Santa Monica pier to

33:14

doing those cut cartoon characters.

33:17

Right? We probably mean to talk no

33:19

matter what experts here.

33:21

Yeah. I mean, no matter what a feels like

33:23

this is worth it. So I would I would try

33:25

really

33:25

hard. I

33:26

don't say that. Yeah. You know, it's it's

33:28

just definitely feels like something that's worth all of your time

33:30

and money and energy. It is. Told

33:32

me so

33:32

far. It is. We need to absolutely

33:35

do this. I'm trying to figure out how to do it by

33:37

the end of the show, but let's do our stat

33:39

of the day

33:40

here. Start of the day. Start of the day.

33:42

Start of the day.

33:45

Start of the day. Start of the

33:47

day. It is a start of

33:49

the day. Start of the

33:51

day. Start of the day. It is his

33:53

start of the day. Start

33:55

of the day. Start of

33:57

the day. Finish the start of

33:59

the day.

34:12

I don't know if you talked about this yesterday, but

34:16

as has been

34:18

often mentioned, It was

34:20

almost thirty years to the

34:22

day between cowboys playoff

34:26

road victories. To put that

34:28

into perspective, that is the

34:30

entire length of Tom Brady's

34:32

career, plus the entire

34:34

length of Carson Wentz's career. That's

34:37

a long time.

34:40

And yet, they're a hugely famous

34:42

team that

34:44

Everyone cares about deeply about how they

34:45

care about them

34:46

so much, and I don't know why. Not

34:48

actually excellent.

34:49

They're honestly the greatest test

34:51

case in marketing. Not in football

34:54

excellence. The marketing that they the

34:56

marketing that they have done to maintain their

34:58

relevancy despite lack of

35:00

unfilled success is extraordinary. Now like they like, we we

35:02

look at our televisions right now in here.

35:04

The cowboys are on one of them.

35:06

I mean, first take

35:08

can't be too far away from talking about Lee.

35:10

They're the a one story during football

35:12

season that guarantees your

35:14

ratings all full

35:14

long. Yep. One of the

35:15

I also have a I also have a top five list for you. You

35:17

asked me yesterday about my favorite

35:20

names than I ever used on

35:22

TV

35:22

shows. Alright. We'll get to that

35:24

in a second, but just a stat

35:26

for the audience on what happened in

35:29

that Bucks Cowboys game On

35:31

passes, more than ten yards down the

35:34

field. Deck Prescott was seven

35:36

for seven for a hundred and forty yards

35:38

and two touchdowns. Tom Brady

35:40

was over five for zero

35:42

yards. That's that's how that

35:44

season petered out and

35:46

I wanna know from

35:47

you, Mike, because we were talking about

35:49

this

35:49

earlier. What do you

35:52

think? Not is going

35:54

to actually happen with

35:56

Tom Brady. But just your general perception of what

35:58

America thinks is about to happen with

36:00

the next step of Tom Brady. What would

36:02

the majority of people who are

36:04

sports fans think

36:06

is gonna happen

36:07

next. Man, I don't know.

36:09

I mean, I would

36:11

I would imagine and then everybody thinks he is

36:13

going to come back with another team, like, that he'll go to Vegas or

36:16

something, that he that he won't

36:18

stop

36:19

playing.

36:20

Would be my guess. I mean, I I have no idea or maybe

36:22

everybody thinks he's gonna retire. I don't think he's gonna

36:24

retire. I think he's a competition monster.

36:28

Who now has another he's always

36:30

just been a chip on my shoulder

36:32

guy from, you know, he's still

36:36

barking about being drafted in the

36:38

sixth round after his seventh Super Bowl.

36:40

Like, he's that's what drives him and makes him

36:42

happy somehow

36:44

or another. And I just don't think he wants to go out with an

36:45

eight, nine season in a play, a home playoff

36:48

loss. I think he's gonna

36:50

come back

36:51

And I

36:51

would imagine that most people in I

36:54

mean, most people in

36:56

America

36:56

don't know a world without Tom Brady.

36:58

Like, he's been a he's been a

37:00

playing football for more than half of the lives of a very large number of

37:03

sports fans. So, like, I would

37:05

imagine that both people, most people

37:07

just think of him as like a person who's always going to play

37:09

football. And that he was never gonna stop. What

37:12

do you guess? Why would they think

37:14

differently? The betting favorite weirdly to me is

37:16

that he goes back to Tampa,

37:18

which is not what I thought most people would

37:20

think. But Ben Volund

37:22

brought a stat to the table where he

37:24

and I guess this isn't

37:25

surprising, but it should be. That

37:27

Tom Brady has played in

37:30

three times as many Super

37:32

Bowls as he has wild card games

37:34

because he always He always has the

37:36

first time buy. He he

37:37

always has the buy. He never even has

37:39

to bother with the last game that he played

37:41

in. He he gets to

37:43

the Super Bowl.

37:44

Three more times than he has to play in a wild card game. Go ahead and give

37:46

us the top five there that you have of

37:48

your favorite names that you've ever used

37:50

in any of your television shows. Number

37:54

five. Well, hold on. I gotta explain

37:56

this for a second. The deal with

37:58

this was

38:00

I used to look on people's like IMDB pages, and they

38:02

would say, you know, man with hat

38:04

-- Mhmm. -- or woman number two.

38:06

And I always thought that was

38:09

kind of a bummer. Like, if I were an

38:11

actor and I got a even one line

38:13

on a TV show, I I wouldn't wanna

38:15

have it be on my credits as, like,

38:17

guy in crowd. So I decided that it for as

38:19

many characters as we could possibly do

38:21

this for, even people

38:24

with one waiters who came in

38:26

and said, like, can I get you anything else? Whatever,

38:28

we were gonna give them first and last

38:30

names. Mhmm. So that when in

38:32

the future, when they were like, hey, I was this episode of and

38:34

recreation, people would look and they would

38:36

say, like, wow, you know, here's

38:38

a full name of a

38:39

character. This person must have

38:42

been important instead of guy with fork.

38:44

So inmate number so I so

38:46

the problem is

38:47

So you're helping you're helping the

38:49

careers of actors by That was

38:51

the idea, like, saying, like, at their next audition. Yeah.

38:54

I just

38:54

played, you know, placido polanco

38:57

on Parks and Rec. Exactly.

38:59

Yeah. Yeah. And then that and they don't know what that is.

39:01

So they think, like, wow. If it had a first and last

39:03

name, it must have been a serious thing. And

39:05

by the way, that half of it. The other

39:07

half is I just love ridiculous names. The

39:10

problem with this is over the course

39:12

of seven years and a

39:14

hundred and whatever twenty

39:16

five episodes you have, like, a of make

39:18

John Smith, Phil Johnson, and

39:20

whatever. So the name has got

39:22

crazier and crazier until we

39:24

were then way

39:26

down the line of like nonsense. So a

39:28

lot of these imagine what I tell you

39:31

these names, a lot of these people

39:34

are like literally waiters and restaurants saying, like, can I get you

39:36

anything else? Or a

39:38

person's any of them saying, like, I have a

39:40

question and that's it. That's all

39:42

they did. But these were

39:44

their

39:44

names. And also, I it's not a top five

39:46

list. It's a top twenty four list. I

39:48

I know.

39:48

Listen. I was just about to ask you how

39:50

hard was it for you to pair

39:52

this down.

39:53

Yeah. It's

39:54

a top twenty four

39:57

list. Number two So we'll go we'll go

39:59

fast. We'll go fast. Here we go. Ready?

40:01

Number twenty four. Eugene Pylo Grimaldi.

40:04

Do you know what

40:04

all these people did in all of No

40:07

no idea. Number twenty three.

40:46

So so did you guys make these up or these real people in sports or other

40:49

realms of life? Names and things. No.

40:51

This is where we're at right

40:53

Hey, Charles

40:54

40:56

Well, a lot of this got carried over. I wasn't like Brooklyn to long enough to

where we just put Gretzky in as one of the 1.

43:17

I don't know why. I'm not a Wayne Gretzky fan

43:58

fine. There's

43:59

a story about there's a story behind that one, which is a I named 1

44:01

Zapos, like the shoe company. And I was like, well,

44:03

that's a shoe company. We'll

44:06

get sued. So that I took the word Zappos and flipped it around

44:08

and and added it on. So it was a pasta

44:10

paz. And but then I liked the way that

44:12

looked and I took that whole thing and I

44:14

just doubled

44:15
