1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Live from the historic river market in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, from the crystal blue waters of the Missouri River, it's two douchebags and a microphone podcast. 2 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:21,000 Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper. It's strange insults from an alien. Real hilarity. 3 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Mate, you'll forever feel yourself vibrating. In the pocket, it's not even in your head. 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000 Next up, Things Overheard in Hell. 5 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Conrad Brady in the Las Vegas Raiders just won their 30th Super Bowl in a row yesterday. 6 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:27,000 This is Two Douchebags and Microphone. I'm Mark. And I'm Rob. 7 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:35,000 Hey, thanks for joining us. Anyhow, I got some interesting stuff here. You got some stuff too, Rob? 8 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000 Yeah, actually, if you don't mind, I got one I want to start with. Let me pull it up real quick. 9 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000 Okay, go ahead. 10 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Unfortunately, we lost another star today. 11 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 And who would that be? I have not heard. 12 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Suzanne Summers. 13 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:03,000 Oh, man. She made every guy's right hand. She gave him a carpal tunnel if they're right handed, if they're left handed. 14 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000 She gave him a carpal tunnel on the left hand. Yes. Yeah. 15 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:16,000 Suzanne Summers, best known for her roles in TV's Threese Company and She's the Sherriff, has died at 76. 16 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:27,000 And this summer's longtime publicist R. Curry Hay shared a statement on behalf of the actress family with the news Sunday. 17 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:40,000 The actress who survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours on Sunday, the statement read, which is today. 18 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000 That's right. Wasn't she into holistic ways of treating breast cancer? It kept her alive for a long time. I believe. I think so. 19 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Yeah, I believe if I remember that correctly. 20 00:02:50,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband, Alan, her son, Bruce, and her immediate family. The statement continued. 21 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:13,000 But she had a very. Her family was gathered to celebrate her 77th birthday on October 16th. Instead, they will celebrate her extraordinary life. 22 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:22,000 I want to thank her millions of fans and followers of her theory. That's cool. She would have turned 77 tomorrow. 23 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:34,000 OK, so she was 76. I think she lived a long time with breast cancer and she was doing holistic, I believe, types of treatment instead of traditional, you know, chemotherapy and all that. 24 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000 I believe so. I'll have to look at it to make sure I'm right on that. But I believe that that was her thing. 25 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:46,000 She was going around talking to radio shows and all different kinds of different platforms talking about it, I believe, for quite a while. 26 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Well, you know what? We wish you the most happiness in the great beyond, Suzanne Summers. 27 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:01,000 You know, you seem like a really good person and anyhow. Yeah. Yeah. 28 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,000 RIP. We really enjoyed your. Enjoyed you. Especially young men really enjoyed your presence on TV. 29 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:18,000 So, yes, anyhow. All right. I've got a straight from Topher's desk. Oh, good. All right. 30 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Well, Topher did a little checking and he just wanted people aware of a lot of these companies that say they're American owned or no longer American owned. 31 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Or omission. They act. They don't say anything about being sold and they never will. And they'll never really acknowledge it publicly. 32 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:46,000 But what they do is they lay low after they're sold and act like nothing happened, in my opinion. 33 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:56,000 And that way, it's not surprised. Yeah. That way, 90 percent of America who is too busy watching Tick Tock have no idea they're no longer an American company. 34 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000 So Topher put together a little list here that he wanted me to relate to you. 35 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Joe and Jane Podcast wanted you guys to know about these said companies that are no longer American companies, but owned by foreign corporations. 36 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Number one popsicle brand. The original headquarters was Oakland, California. 37 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:32,000 It was purchased by Unilever. Unilever, I think is how they pronounce it. Unilever. Yeah, they do a lot of soaps and stuff like that. 38 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,000 And the country is England and the English own it. 39 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Number two, Ben and Jerry's. You know, those peaceful. Yeah, those peaceful loving hippies. They sold out. 40 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000 You know, the people who would never sell out and always fighting the man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those folks. 41 00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Original headquarters, South Burlington, Vermont, purchased by Unilever country. 42 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Yeah. Yeah. So you know, Levers like making some big big time, you know, moving and shaking here in America. 43 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:17,000 It sounds like. Yeah. Number three, Burger King or as I know them, Burger Bitch. 44 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Original headquarters, Miami, Florida, purchased by restaurant brands, international country, Canada. 45 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:34,000 So restaurant brands, international. I knew that as a Canadian company, but I thought they I thought they opened up a division in America, too. 46 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000 But I guess not. Not according to this. So anyhow, the their country is Canada. 47 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:48,000 So they're no longer American owned, it looks like. Number four, Trader Joe's. 48 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Original headquarters. Go ahead. What were you saying? Oh, I was just going to say, really? Yeah. 49 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Trader Joe's original headquarters, Monrovia, California, purchased by Theo Albright. 50 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Country, Germany. So Theo Albright, I don't know if that's like one person. 51 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Or an individual. Yeah. I mean, I guess it could be a corporation, but I don't know. 52 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:26,000 So you would think so. So Theo Albright, whoever that is, owns it now. 53 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:34,000 So number five, American Apparel. Original headquarters was Los Angeles, California. 54 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:44,000 It was purchased by Gildan activewear. And I had no idea Gildan was a Canadian company and from Canada and Gildan. 55 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:53,000 I mean, I have a lot of shirts that are Gildan because quite frankly, they're very comfortable, very affordable shirts. 56 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000 I mean, you could buy like socks. Their socks are comfortable. Yeah. Yeah. And they're not really expensive either. 57 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:07,000 I like Gildan. I'm glad they're here for sale because I do use their products, but their origin is Canadian. 58 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:15,000 So anyhow, but I like them quite a bit like you do. And I do have quite a few of their products. 59 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,000 And I know this, if you're going to buy a lot of cheap shirts and print something on them or whatever, you go Gildan. 60 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000 Everybody goes Gildan because you can get a great deal by a bunch of shirts from them. 61 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:38,000 So anyhow, the next one, 7-Eleven. Original headquarters, Dallas, Texas, purchased by Seven and I Holdings from Japan. 62 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,000 But around here, a lot of 7-Elevens were, and I don't know if they still are, owned by a company called Southland Corporation. 63 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000 And they originated in Japan because 7-Eleven does franchise their companies. 64 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:58,000 QuickTrip doesn't, you know, QuickTrip owns all their stuff. If you're around the Midwest, I think they go maybe to Ohio now. 65 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,000 They go out west into Kansas and I don't know. I think I don't know if they're in Colorado. 66 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000 No, you guys don't have them there. For whatever reason, they have them in Tulsa. 67 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:16,000 The origination of QuickTrip was Tulsa. That's their headquarters. 68 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:24,000 But anyhow, 7-Eleven would franchise 10, 20 of their stores. 69 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000 And around Kansas City, Southland Corporation owned a lot of the 7-Eleven stores. 70 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000 And they were from Japan because a good friend of mine worked there. 71 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:39,000 He told me, he said, man, our checks come from Japan because Southland is a Japanese company, is what he told me. 72 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:48,000 So I was like, oh, okay. So it does not surprise me that 7-Eleven is owned by a Japanese holding company. 73 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,000 So number seven, Sunglass Hut. 74 00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:02,000 The original headquarters were Miami, Florida, purchased by Luxottica Group from Italy. 75 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:09,000 That sounds about right, doesn't it? All Italians wear sunglasses, right? 76 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Yeah. 77 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000 I even think they bury them in sunglasses, don't I? 78 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000 Some do. 79 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000 Okay. All right. Or at least we're going to go with that. Yeah. Okay. Anyhow. 80 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000 It sounds good anyway. 81 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000 It sounds great. 82 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000 I'm going with it. 83 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000 I'm going with it too. Yeah. I have a good authority. 84 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000 The Italian consulate called me and they told me that that's what the deal was. 85 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000 So anyhow. Okay. Okay. All right. Okay. Moving right along. 86 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Holiday Inn. Original headquarters, Memphis, Tennessee. 87 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Purchased by Intercontinental Hotels in the countries England. 88 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000 We have an Intercontinental in Kansas City. 89 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000 So that is owned by an English company. 90 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000 And it was interesting because they applied for Urban Blight and they're on the plaza. 91 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000 And I was like thinking that's absurd. Urban Blight on the plaza? 92 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000 I mean for how much they charge their fucking rooms. How can you say blight? 93 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:16,000 My God. Intercontinental is like three times the price of any other four or five star hotel in my opinion. 94 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000 I, I, anyhow, I was like Urban Blight. Fuck them. No. 95 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,000 But I think they got it is the sad thing. 96 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000 So that's an English company that applied for it. Okay. 97 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,000 Number nine. Allegedly. Number nine. Yeah. Allegedly. 98 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000 Number nine. Smithfield.

I guess that's how they got the name. 103 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,000 They took over farmland. Smithfield. Did you know that? 104 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000 No, I didn't.

Italy. 169 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000 No, Venezuela. 170 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000 Yeah, I should have said that. I should have said Italy. 171 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,000 You're like, huh? Did I miss something? 172 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000 Number 19, and we'll go to 20, and then we'll cap it off there. 173 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000 Number 19, General Electric. But I knew this for a long time, 174 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000 because I knew electricians and they don't like using GE products. 175 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000 Original headquarters, Boston, Massachusetts. 176 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Purchased by Hoer, or Hire. I think it's pronounced Hayer. 177 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,000 But I don't know. H-A-I-E-R. Hoer. I've heard it pronounced every way. 178 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,000 Appliance division only from China. 179 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000 Number 20 is Motorola. 180 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Original headquarters, Schomburg, Illinois, Chicago, basically. 181 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000 Purchased by Lenovo in the country's China. 182 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000 And if you ever use a Motorola phone, 183 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000 you can pretty much guess that they had something to do with China, in my opinion. 184 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:34,000 So, anyhow, I got an interesting story that I ran across, Rob. 185 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Okay. 186 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000 You know the Osborns have a podcast out now, right? 187 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Yeah. 188 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,000 Yeah. And it's decent. 189 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:54,000 I don't know. I like listening to it, but I find myself checking out quite a bit. 190 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000 I think they're getting better as they go. 191 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000 People probably do that to us. They probably like space off when we're talking. 192 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,000 I don't know. But, anyhow, they tell some pretty good stories on there. 193 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,000 And this one here kind of got me that they would even talk about it. 194 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:18,000 But do you know Sharon and Ozzy have a suicide pact? 195 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000 Yeah, I do. 196 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Yeah. 197 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Sharon Osborn has confirmed her end-of-the-life pact with her husband Ozzy Osborn is still in place. 198 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000 The famed couple plans to undergo physician-assisted suicide 199 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:38,000 if either of them is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, which I get. 200 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000 Anyone that has ever seen anyone suffer from Alzheimer's would probably feel the same way 201 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000 because it is a horrible, horrible condition and a horrible way to die. 202 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,000 So, I could, quite frankly, I could see that. 203 00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:01,000 The pact was initially made in Sharon's 2007 memoir, Survivor, My Story, The Next Chapter. 204 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000 After her father, Don Arden, died after battling Alzheimer's, 205 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000 Sharon said watching her father's condition deteriorate was painful for the whole family 206 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:17,000 and he became a shell of himself due to the disease being believed to be hereditary. 207 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:24,000 Sharon and Ozzy both agreed they would want to be put out of their misery. 208 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:38,000 So, not only do they have a suicide pact, but they have, it sounds like they have a physician-assistance waiting. 209 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000 Dr. Kvorkeon himself. 210 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000 I guess. Is he still alive? Did he die? 211 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,000 I think he died. 212 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000 I think he died, okay. 213 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Well, someone like Dr. Kvorkeon, it sounds like they have him on retainer. 214 00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:01,000 Well, now, we have looked into it. It could be legal over in England. I don't know. 215 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000 You know what? That's true. 216 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000 I don't know laws over there. 217 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000 Yeah, me neither. I'll try to look that up. 218 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000 It's illegal here, but. 219 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000 Oh, by the way, by the way, Rob, I failed this. I was busy all day today. 220 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000 I had to work and do some other stuff. 221 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,000 We got a structural engineer coming over tomorrow about some stuff going on in the house. 222 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,000 And we got, get shit moved around for him and he's going to be out first thing in the morning. 223 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:36,000 So, I had no time to text Topher over the tiebreakers. So, I don't have an answer on that. 224 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,000 I will get that to us here as soon as I get, I'm able to get a minute to do that. 225 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:49,000 So, yeah, because I promised answers tonight and I just, I simply, I don't have them because I didn't have time to. 226 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000 So, but you know what? 227 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000 I understand it gets busy. 228 00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:01,000 Yeah. Yeah, it does. So, why don't we take us a little break and then we're going to come back with some more fun-filled shit. 229 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000 Does that sound good? 230 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000 Sounds good. 231 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000 Fun-filled shit? You can't beat it, can you? 232 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000 Hey, that's the best. 233 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000 All right. Let's hear you say, Rob, fun-filled shit. 234 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000 Fun-filled shit or free? 235 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000 There you go. We'll be back. 236 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000 Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper. 237 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000 It's strange insults from an alien. 238 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000 Real hilarity. 239 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Lay your headphones snug on every door and door. 240 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000 Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper. 241 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000 It's strange insults from an alien. 242 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Real hilarity. 243 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000 You are just like a cloud. It's a beautiful day when you disappear. 244 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000 And now, deep thoughts with Mark. 245 00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:00,000 Should I throw away all my socks, then only buy 30 pair of one kind of sock? 246 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000 Will they eventually not match up? 247 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:08,000 Hmph. I may never know. 248 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000 All right. And we are back. Just like that. 249 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000 Two douchebags and microphone were like that bag case of herpes. 250 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000 You can't scratch away. That's us. I'm Mark. 251 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000 And I'm Rob. 252 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000 All right. I'm known as Herpes One. He's known as Herpes Two. 253 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,000 We're two stand-alone bumps that work in unison. 254 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000 You're welcome, America. You're welcome. 255 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000 Did you hear a thank you, Rob? 256 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000 I thought I heard a thank you. 257 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000 I thought I heard a thank one, too. So we're going to go ahead and go with that. 258 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Well, if you thought you heard it and I thought I heard it, it had to be somewhere in between. 259 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000 I bet it was Montrose. 260 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000 Montrose loves us. Montrose is our number one market. 261 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000 That'd be about right in between us. 262 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:26,000 It would be. Yeah. I'll bet you people at the old power plant are buzzing this shit all over in the boilers, right? 263 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000 I bet they are. 264 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,000 Yeah, yeah. This time of the year is when they traditionally start fixing the boilers up 265 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:40,000 because I know this because part of my sheet metal training and experience was going out and working in these boilers. 266 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:48,000 The boiler maker is doing a majority of it, but on the outside of the boilers of these power plants, coal burning ones, 267 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:54,000 whenever you burn the coal that they have to burn, it has a certain degree of sulfur in it. 268 00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:01,000 It creates sulfuric acid, which eats away the metal, and then we have to go in there and torch it out 269 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000 and then weld new pieces of metal in it. 270 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000 And this has to be done routinely. 271 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,000 So anyhow, I'm sure those people out there right now, they're cutting holes in them and replacing them. 272 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:20,000 They have two boilers there. They'll shut one down and do the repair, then keep the other one going, and then vice versa. 273 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:27,000 So I'm sure they're down there cutting out the boilers listening to us going, yep, because they know we love Montrose. 274 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000 I mean, what could be better than a power plant and a junkyard, right? 275 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000 Right, right. That's ultimate living. 276 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Yeah, yeah. So Montrose, our number one market, we love you. The pride and joy of Henry County. 277 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Yes, it is. 278 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Yes. I mean, you cannot say Henry County without going, Montrose. 279 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000 I went camping at Montrose when I was a kid. 280 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000 Oh, did you? 281 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Yeah. 282 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,000 Oh, do they have like? 283 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000 That's a power plant. That's a power plant. 284 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:08,000 Awesome. I know people that fish down there at Lacine, still to this day, they fish at Lacine when it's 10 below. 285 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:14,000 Because the water that comes out of the boilers is like, I don't know, 60 degrees. 286 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,000 So it keeps the lake warm and absolutely no ice on it all year round. 287 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:28,000 And people be out there in their fucking thermals fishing all damn day. They're just excited they get to fish at that time. 288 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000 And not ice fish, you know, like cut holes in ice or whatever. 289 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,000 Right. 290 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000 Because that's dangerous around these parts. 291 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:41,000 And nobody ever anymore does the winter allow us to have anything iced over enough to walk on it. 292 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:48,000 So it's dangerous to ice fish around here because you may not be able to cut a hole in it because you may have just fell in it. 293 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:55,000 So anyhow, Rob, we turn to you. Do you have any neat little thing you want to get to? A little ha-ha? 294 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000 Yes, I have an update. 295 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000 All right, Rob. The floor is yours. 296 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:07,000 Something I just reported on one of the two shows last night. 297 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000 Okay. 298 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:22,000 The family of Olympic gymnast champion Mary Lou Retton says she is making remarkable progress in her battle with a rare form of pneumonia that landed her in intensive care. 299 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:37,000 Kenny Kelly, one of Retton's four daughters, posted an update on Instagram Saturday that said that 55-year-old Retton's breathing is becoming stronger and her path to recovery is steadily progressing. 300 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:43,000 Though it's a lengthy journey, witnessing these improvements is incredibly heartening, Kelly wrote. 301 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,000 She's being, she's beginning to respond to treatments. 302 00:26:48,000 --> 00:27:08,000 The family disclosed earlier this week that Retton, who became the first American female gymnast to win the Olympic all-around title at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, responding for life when they were unable to breathe on her own after being diagnosed with pneumonia. 303 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:25,000 Donations have poured into a fundraiser the family set up to help offset Retton's medical expenses. Good. After the family said she didn't have medical insurance, there's been more than 7,500 donations. 304 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,000 Excellent. 305 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,000 Over $415,000 by Saturday afternoon. 306 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Hooray! Good! Good, good, good. 307 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:42,000 There's hope for her. Let's keep her in our prayers, our thoughts, whatever it is you do. 308 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,000 Yes, absolutely. 309 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000 Yep, yep. 310 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:54,000 I've got a coffee study that I was going to get into on yesterday's podcast, but it's very lengthy so I decided not to. 311 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000 You feel like maybe we should get into this right now? 312 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,000 If you want to. 313 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000 Okay. 314 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000 All right. 315 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,000 Number one, coffee is definitely one of my pastimes. 316 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,000 Like I said, when I used to go out of town for work all the time, a lot of guys would go to bars. 317 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,000 I was past that stage in my life. I used to go to bars when I was younger. 318 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:26,000 I don't want to anymore.

I mean, a coffee cake is great with coffee, coincidentally. 487 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000 Yeah. 488 00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,000 So. 489 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,000 Yep. 490 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:45,000 Shop flavored lattes are the most popular. Coffee order at coffee shops, which I agree, because you know, we go down to the City Market Coffee right in front of there is where we do the podcast when we can. 491 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:56,000 And we go in, I go into there, I even go in there on my off days. Me and Topher go down to City Market Coffee and have us a coffee. We try to do it once a week. 492 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:05,000 Only we're, we are going, me and Val and a couple of friends of ours are going to Eureka Springs mid-week, midway through this week. 493 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:13,000 So we're going to miss this week. But being around that coffee shop and coffee shops used to be one of my hobbies when I was out of town. 494 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:18,000 I could tell you that the shop based lattes are the most popular. 495 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:23,000 And I would say that an iced latte is probably a little bit more popular. 496 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:31,000 And hopefully it goes into that is a little bit more popular than a than a hot latte. 497 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:37,000 And then with lattes, I think the number one one that I this is from my own experience just watching. 498 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:45,000 I would say the number one milk that they have in it is skim and number two would be oat milk and number three would be almond. 499 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,000 And then I think whole milk is down the line a bit. 500 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:57,000 But that's what I've noticed around coffee shops. I've been at 39 percent skim. 501 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000 Yeah. 502 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:06,000 Anyhow, let's see. Coffee drinkers prefer both drip 31 percent and Keurig 31 percent equally. 503 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:13,000 I'm not much of a Keurig fan. To me, it makes a coffee have kind of an acid taste. 504 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:20,000 Yeah, I'm not a big fan of it, but I know a lot of people love the Keurig Keurig. 505 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,000 Forty nine percent of coffee consumers use normal sugar. 506 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:31,000 Thirty four percent prefer stevia or similar similar zero calorie sweeteners. 507 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:37,000 Coffee drinkers, let's see, limit their coffee take to three to five cups a day. 508 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:43,000 Even if they want more coffee, they limit it to five cups. 509 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:49,000 Anyhow, that's pretty much the just of it. 510 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,000 Doesn't surprise me. Does it surprise you, Rob? 511 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,000 Not really. 512 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,000 No, not really. 513 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,000 Nope.
