Welcome to Fit To Be Real. And a little extra.
And if you heard a little pitter -patter, that
was my dog. Being extra. In the silence. I, if
you were wondering, am wearing my liquid jumpsuit.
I'm sorry, what? Liquid leather, liquid faux
leather. Don't come after me. Is that what it's
called, liquid? Yeah, because it looks like it's
wet. It's called liquid. Okay, why is that a
look? Is that a look? It is for me. Is it like
trending, I mean? Like are people wearing liquid
leggings? Liquid clothes? You've never heard
of liquid leggings? No. They're shiny leggings.
Why would you want to accentuate? Because it
looks like they're wet. It's trending to look
like you're wet. It's good that you're wearing
it head to toe with high white socks and fake
Air Force Ones. Just get the whole picture. Okay,
I'll show you a picture. Victoria will take a
picture. I will not show you my bottom half right
now. Okay, fine, I will. There you go. It really
doesn't take much. I have no shame. Like you
were trying to hold it in, but then you couldn't.
No, I can only do things most of the way. And
if you don't know that about me by now, I go
really hard until I just don't feel like going
hard anymore. And then I stop. It's go hard and
then go home immediately. Immediately. Don't
pass go. Don't collect $200. Just out. When I
piece out, I piece out and I pieced out at my
ankles. Couldn't go any harder. We're gonna play
a drinking game today. Drink every time one of
Carly's giant disco ball earrings get caught
in her hair. Did it get caught again? I don't
know. Drink. Well, okay. So Victoria was like,
what? are you wearing and why do you have this?
So it's still yeah still the tags on. It's an
appropriate question. I feel like at this point
it's not because you just know I have this in
my closet. I've never worn it. I bought it for
Vegas for Andrew's disco show because I was going
to wear it but I ended up wearing something else.
Everyone go. You should all go to Vegas and go
see it but I never took it back so I have the
tags on because I was like I'll definitely wear
it. I haven't worn it yet so where else would
I wear it but Fireside chats, man. I had Victoria
tuck the tag in. I was like, you should keep
it unzipped because she couldn't get it zipped.
And you should definitely keep the tag on. That's
where we are today. Yep. We said we weren't going
to talk in the beginning. I'm Victoria. Hey,
guys. I'm Carly. I forgot to say her names. We're
OK. We're all right. Just take it for what it
is. We're going to get by. We're going to get
through. I am wearing a very luxurious Fit to
be real t -shirt. I know. I'm waiting for mine.
I'll wear mine. That just came in. This is not
about you. It's about what I'm wearing. Thank
you. It says, hey, guys, on the front. You can't
see it from the screen if you're watching. But
it says, hey, guys. And then it's our logo on
the back. I'm obsessed. And they're Bella. If
you don't know what the Bella canvas line is,
yeah, super comfortable. Super comfortable. I
love all of the stuff that Victoria has designed.
And there is more to come. So this is only her.
I did nothing. Wait, there's more to come? Well,
just like there will be more stuff, you know,
for every season. There'll be like a new something.
But this was her first go at it. And it's really,
really good, good stuff, good brands and really
comfortable. Yeah. I agree. I'm a fan of the
sports bras. I am too, actually. Yeah, they're
really. And you know, I only like high neck or
non -existent. Me too. I'm with you on the high
neck. I love a high neck. You don't need it,
but they're so cute and they're really supportive
for the non -existent stuff I have here. They're
supportive for those of you who have bought them
because I've seen the orders and you have bought
them. Let us know if they're supportive for you
for those who, you know, can shake their shamrocks.
So. We're going to move on. Yep, we're going
to get into it. I did realize this morning. I
was setting everything up before I went to yoga
and I was rereading the article, making sure
I knew what was going on. And I was like, you
know what this podcast is? We just read things
and then Cliff notes it for you all. That's all
we do. And I'm kind of obsessed with that. It
depends on the episode. Well, true, if we're
talking about something that we... don't know
or that we would like to know more about because
we are the every man in this situation, then
yes. But some of the some of the episodes, not
many, but some of them. Yeah, we don't do that.
But yes, I agree. We are the some of them. We
know exactly what we're talking about. We were
talking yesterday about the ones where the one
where Victoria cried and like I'm going to say
season one. We're in seasons of the podcast.
In season one, Victoria Cry now is very uncomfortable.
She was like, oh no. Oh, should we cut? I don't
know how to do that. Stop crying, please. But
we weren't doing video at the time, and she was
behind. If you had only seen the setup that it
was before, we had, what are they called? Tables.
TV trays. TV tray tables. And then microphones,
but magazines under the microphones so that you
couldn't hear the tap of the coffee or putting
a pen down. They were very sensitive. And so
she's behind this contraption going, no, no.
I get uncomfortable when other people cry. There's
nothing. I just want to be like, stop. Well,
without naming names, somebody came into our
office last night. in tears over something personal
and Carly's immediate reaction was to slap her
shoulder down and to go, no, don't cry. I did
say, aw, don't cry. The person that we're talking
about, you know we love you, but Victoria's making
fun of me and my - Because you should absolutely
cry when you need to cry. Yeah, no, I know. But
in my head, I'm thinking, how do I make this
person feel better? So I say, Don't cry. That
fixes everything. And then she's going to invite
you to a cruise for three days. Yes. And I'll
be like, be happy. Don't ruin this. And by invite,
I mean force. All right. On to the real nitty
gritty. I'm only going to use a piece of paper
for my notebook because the notebook you gave
me. I know. Sucks. All right. Listen, it was
from Five Below. How dare you? I know and the
paper just keep it was in the dollar section
of Five Below obviously it was put there because
it doesn't work and Five Below realized this
so it's selling it for a dollar and every time
you turn the page the page comes out. I feel
insulted. Listen I'm a bargain hunter. What?
What? Alright. What are we talking about today?
Oh my god. Yeah, we didn't tell you She's just
gonna start cliff noting something that you have
no idea what we're talking about. Do it sad I
don't think this generation knows what cliff
notes are well because there's Google and there's
chat GPT and we I just saw a meme the other day
I Just read a meme the other day and yes, this
is early. Yeah early in them in the combo. Well,
I it was saying how we should pat ourselves on
the back because we got through college without
chat, GPT, and AI. To write our papers and to...
I think our generation is the last one who had
to actually use their brains. So, like, we're
screwed. Yeah, I know. Well, because, listen,
if I was going to college in these times, I would
use it too. It's nothing against this generation.
It's available to you, so you're using it. It
was not available to us, so we did not use it.
We used Ask Jeeves. I never did that. You never
asked Jeeves? Mm -mm. And I know about it. Yeah,
he was a little butler in the corner, and you
asked him anything, and he answered. No, I never
did ask Jeeves. I did the Cliff Notes books,
the yellow, of all the Shakespeare stories. Yeah,
oh, yeah, got ya. But you can't tell me that
if that was offered to you in college, that you
would not use it. You'd be like, no, I'll do
it the long way. Yeah, I can't tell you that,
because I don't know. I know that I am happy
that I didn't have that opportunity. Yeah. Because
I got to, you know, actually learn. Like if you're
looking stuff just like this, like we can look
this stuff up and I can understand it and be
like take notes and be able to relay what it
said and make it understandable. Don't bank on
that today. But it doesn't stay in my head. Like
next week I'll be like, wait, what are we talking?
Oh, right. What? What were all the details of
what we said? Because it doesn't sink in. Yeah,
you're not comprehending it. So I'm sure I would.
I don't know. But I'm glad that I don't even
have to think about that. Oh, I 100 % would have
done that. Because I remember the papers that
I wrote in some of my college English classes
because I didn't know. We were talking about
Monsanto and reading books that I didn't understand.
And I remember them because I worked really hard
on writing those six page essays, you know? God.
Do you remember that? Yes. And some of them were
by hand, because we didn't have laptops back
in the day. This was high school. In college,
they were. In my five colleges, they were online.
But in high school, we had to hand -write a six
-page essay in cursive, like, legibly. I mean,
I gave up on the legend. Yeah, you have chicken
scratch. I have chicken stretch for... Say it
again. Shush. I have chicken scaratch for the
things I don't care about that I'm trying to
do fast. But if I'm like writing you a letter
or a note, don't worry, you're not getting one.
Never have. It looks legible. Yeah. Never have.
Why the hell would I? Never have I ever. Never
have I ever will. I just want you to want to
write me one, but I don't actually want the letter.
My god, you're so annoying. Okay, here's what
we're talking about. The meal services that are
out the best meal services for a specific reason
why you would need it. So You've heard of them.
They're all over Instagram. And if you click
on it once then they're really gonna be all over
your Any engines that you're searching? Algorithm
thank you Hungry root Hello fresh hello fresh
factor, right? So I have never done this but
I lived with someone for a moment. Who did? Mom.
No, Matt Trish. What's up, boo? Mom used to do
it too. A food service? Like one of these? Well,
like, what was that? It was a diet, but they
got your meal sent to you. Every single meal.
Um, LA, Jenny. Jenny. It wasn't Jenny Craig.
It was LA. LA Fitness. LA Looks. We use a lot
of LA products. LA Looks is our gel. LA Fitness
is a gym. I can see the commercial. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, me too. And I can see all of the little
brownie packages that were in the pantry. Fiber
ones were... Well, that wasn't a meal service.
No, no, no, no. But we did a lot of smart ones.
Smart ones. Because Weight Watchers, that was
like the Weight Watchers thing. Wow. Our trauma
is so obvious. But at the same time, we need
to like... All those things are so full of sodium,
we're still probably trying to detox from all
the salt in that kind of food that we eat. But
that's what I was gonna say. I forget what one
he did. It would get delivered in these giant
boxes. I can't remember what it was, but I remember
being like, oh my gosh, the menu looks fantastic.
He meaning our friend, Matt. Yes. So you can
pick and choose your, I think all of these, you
can pick and choose the meals that you want,
especially based on like what you like and what
you don't like. And they all looked so good.
Like meals you would get out at a restaurant
to me, like we weren't big. restaurant people
growing up weren't allowed to be. I am now. It's
pretty awesome. We broke. Oh. Yeah. We were.
We didn't go out. We went out to eat once a week
with our grandpop to Boston Market. And that
was a huge deal for us. Chicken Carver. Yep.
And Saturdays with our dad to Taco Bell. Cinnamon
Twists. So those were our going out meals. So
we did not. I remember going to the ground round.
Do you remember the ground round? Yeah, yeah,
yeah. I mean, yeah. That was special. Right.
All right. Anyway, we digress. I remember looking
at the menu, and obviously they give the nutritional
information now. You just have to by law. And
the sodium is like insane. Yeah. Because of the
sauces, whether it was vegetable or protein,
like meat. We have to keep it fresh. Oh my god,
it was wild. But not necessarily processed. Like
preservatives, I mean. Oh, really? Just the sodium
cut like when you make something in your own
kitchen and you're like salt and pepper Just
the added sodium to make it taste good. Yeah
flavor. I don't know about the preservative part
I'm sure that's I'm sure that's you know a factor
or whatever, but I remember being like these
look amazing But that's not worth it to me right
like I can't handle that much sodium I already
drinking too much water and I can't it's too
much So it depends on what you're looking for,
but that's what we're gonna talk through can't
wait You know, I'm a huge cooker. A cooker? A
pressure, you are a pressure cooker. Yo, if you
were an appliance, you would be a pressure cooker.
And you would burn your rice. What would you
be every time? What appliance would you be? It's
a fun game. I don't know. I'll think about it
during this whole thing while you're talking.
Maybe, okay, good, you do that. Maybe like a
toaster, because if you get too close to the
edge, you are burnt. Yeah, and you like to keep
yourself in the middle of the road. You are very
middle of the road. No left, no right, because
both are bad. So you got to stay in the middle.
Well, that's not true. Well, maybe. It depends
on... It depends on like... what the topic is.
I'm very passionate about certain things. And
I'm very one way about what I like or what I
don't like, like depending. But if I'm in conversation
with people, like, yeah, I see all sides. Yeah.
And if I want to be burnt, I'll burn. Yeah, fine.
You're a toaster. I am a pressure cooker. Sponsor
us. I also break easily. True. How many toasters
have you bought in your life? More than one.
Yeah, more than one. All right, for the 27th
time, let's get into it. I've never heard of
Sun Basket. Me either. But it's the overall pick.
And we had two articles, and they're linked in
the show notes for either you're watching on
YouTube or listening on any of the streaming
platforms. The links in there are super important
because you can read even more than what we're
going to digest right now. There's promo codes
promo code. So if anything we say today you like
or you want to try Click on those links and you
get like I mean they're really good deals like
50 % off your first, you know month whatever
they're like a monthly Membership subscriptions
pick a word like that boxes But some basket is
health lines of one of the two articles that
we're in the link overall pick So it's the best
for everything and looking at the dietary stuff
It's everything but vegan. So if you're a keto,
if you're a Mediterranean diet, if you're more
protein, more veggie, plant -based, it has all
the options with their menu selections, except
vegan. And that, I think, is why it's the overall
pick. It's funny, because I've never heard of
it. I've never heard of it. It doesn't come up
on my. It will now. Yep, we talked about it.
My phone heard it. And they're listening. Yep,
always. What I focused on was price. So the article
didn't necessarily list what it is per box per
month. And so I went in to try to like figure
it out and do it myself. And it wanted me to
sign up. It wanted me to answer all these questions.
And I was like, nobody has time for that. So
what they did is they broke it down by meal.
So it's between 9 .99 depending on what you order
in your selection, 9 .99 to 25 .99. So I'm assuming
that's like steaks. Well, it does say that the
one, one of the biggest cons of this is that
it may be expensive. All of them. Like most of
them. Yeah, I guess it does depend on what you
order. Like what, you know, maybe a side is nine
ninety nine, but like the whole meal is a bundle.
Yeah. But per per now what I also made sure to
look for is shipping cost. So shipping costs
for this one's ten ninety nine. It just says
flat ten ninety nine. So you have to add that
into your monthly payment and add it into doing
the division per meal, because that's going to
raise the price a little bit. Yeah, but you have
to do that for everything. Every meal, you have
to divide into it, because just going out, it's
still going to be less expensive than going out
to dinner. Because when you divide it per person
in the family, it comes out to, what, $6, $7.
You can't go out to dinner, even at Taco Bell,
anymore for $6 or $7 per person. Do they have
a dollar menu anymore? Does anybody know that?
I don't know. Answer it in the comments. But
you can't. No, you can comment. That's the answer.
You can't answer in the comment. Found it. But
when you go through each of these and divide
per person, yes, the initial thing may look expensive.
But then when you break it down, yeah, we get
it. I think we got it. OK. She's like Catwoman.
You need a mask. Oh, I have one. Moving on. Moving
on. Prepared meals is factor. Best overall prepared
meal. So some of them are meal kits, you'll see.
And if you're like me, I was like, what the heck's
a meal kit versus a prepared. So prepared, they've
already done it. The sauce is on the chicken.
The vegetables are seasoned. Like everything's
done and put together. A meal kit, you get like
you came home from the grocery store. Right.
Like the scallions aren't cut. the meat is cut
and it's you know it's there but it's raw everything's
raw you cook it yourself you put it in skillet
so if you don't want to do that if you are not
a cooker if you're not a cooker a pressure cooker
is different than factor and it's the best for
keto um if you're on the the keto life which
is i believe is just low carb i can't remember
the keto one Low, yeah, low carb. Pretty expensive,
but it's 11 to 15 per meal. And here's the only
con with this one. It's only single serving.
So like, you can't buy a box for the family.
You have to buy individual meals for the family.
So it only comes in single serve meals. So that
$11 is per person, per meal. Yeah. You know what
I mean? So shipping. Ooh, shipping is also $10
.99. So add that in so that $11 now just jumped
a little bit. So However, here's the catch though.
It's gluten -free. There's no refined sugar There's
no GMOs like it's it's a healthier option And
if that's what you're trying to go for with meals
for your kids and your family you pay more but
It's for what price. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I mean
if you're gonna go organic at the grocery store
That's kind of what you're gonna pay. Yeah, I
think it's a little bit cheaper and it gets sent
to you For factor, you mean? Yeah, so you're
not paying gas. Right. You're not paying gas
to go to the grocery store, so you save that
money. And you put it in shipping. And you're
saving yourself time. So someone's driving gas,
right? Someone's driving gas. Damn. Well. Moving
on. Plant -based, if you're a vegetarian, not
a vegan, a vegetarian. Which is Victoria sometimes.
No, I'm a pescatarian. Whatever. Jesus, Mary.
Green chef, which I also never heard of. Green
chef. No. Oh, wow. That was a good thought for
the answer we all knew. No, there is something
chef that I have heard of. Home chef, home chef,
also known as cooker. I'm pointing to myself,
home chef. Don't call her to make your meals.
Actually, I'm pointing to Andrew, home chef.
So this one's green chef is a meal kit only.
They do not offer prepared meals. to be made
so this is something that you want to experience
for yourself in the kitchen if you like to be
in the kitchen i would like a meal kit i think
i i think for time prepared meals makes more
sense during the week because that's the last
thing you want to do i never make food at night
though i always prepare it yeah midday or the
day before so meal kits would be more my preference
i think me too because when you're getting home
at 8 30 at the end of the night, the last thing
you want to do. One of my biggest pet peeves,
we talked about this, is opening the fridge,
having so much food and being like, what do I
make myself right now? Well, you have a family
of five, so hopefully you're thinking broader.
I always feed them earlier and I feed them, but
like, you know. Just trying to make fun of you.
God. Oh my gosh, wait, I looked wrong. What?
My bad. What? My chicken scratch. Best for the
family is Green Chef. Best for plant -based is
Purple Carrot, which I've heard of. Oh, yeah.
No, you're right. Best for families is Green
Chef. Green Chef is meal kit only, and Purple
Carrot is meal kit only. So that's all the same.
But it is also plant -based. Green Chef? Yep.
Green Chef is plant -based, gluten -free. Yep.
Oh. I have most dietary restrictions. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. All right. That one, so the shipping for
Green Chef is $10 .99. But the shipping for Purple
Carrot is $10 or free if you're ordering stuff
over $99, which I think is really easy to do.
Oh, yes. Especially if you're ordering for more
than one person. Right. Our cousin does Purple
Carrot, and she loves it. Marissa. Oh, I did
not know that. Yes. She sent me the code because
I think you get also some Benefits if you can
send it to somebody and they do it in your name
and like you get a little bit of a discount But
I didn't do it. I I Can't justify Me wanting
to do it every like you if you get this box you
have to commit to it, right? Like you just have
to and My life changed so like I go out more
and I'm there's just other options. So it wasn't
it wasn't right for me But she loves it. She's
two kids and it's perfect for the family. So
The thing that is a con here, but is a pro for
me, is it's got a smaller menu, so there's less
options to choose from. One of my biggest problems
when we go out to eat is if they have a large
menu, like at the diner, I'm like, this is overwhelming,
it's too much, and I always order the same thing.
So a smaller menu for me is always a pro. Yeah,
your anxiety shows in a lot of ways. No, it's
just like I like what I like and I like a...
Small menu. Oh, is that a song? Smaller? Sometimes
it's better. I like a small menu. Now, I agree
with that, though. Yeah. I agree. I appreciate
a menu that's like, here's what we offer. Right.
Because they're really good. Because they're
really good. So this is it. So everything on
our menu is good because this is all that we
do. Right. Yeah. And I like when it changes.
I mean, we're going to restaurants right now
that are really fun and nice and different. in
two months, that menu's gonna be completely different.
So it depends on where you go and what you do.
So if you're going to Applebee's, I think they
have the same thing on the menu forever and ever,
amen. Except for their appetizers or whatever.
That's a pro for me. It also doesn't have a lot
of dollar signs, this plant -based purple carrot.
It only has two dollar signs as opposed to four.
Yeah, some of them have six. Oh god. Okay, here's
one that is funny to me, but also I think I get
it, and I've never heard of it. It's for athletes.
Best for athletes. How do you know if you are
one? You're not. Okay. I would venture to say
you're not. No, I think it's like runners have
to eat a certain way to keep the muscle gain
and the muscle tone and how they do it. Same
for I think anybody who's trying to do something
specific athletically. or for your body. Yeah.
So like even if a bodybuilder or you're someone
who's like CrossFit and you're trying to build
and gain, this would be the one for you. And
it's called trifecta nutrition. So I clearly
it's not going to come up on my radar. Yeah.
And I don't I don't think this one's for me either.
It's not. Yeah. Like we know that. Yeah. We know.
We know. We know. Was it the liquid legging pantsuit
that got you? Try it again later. OK. Yeah. That
was rough. Try those words again in a little
bit. This one's on the little bit of a pricier
side, but it's single meals only. So that's,
I think, why. When they're single meals only
and not like... Bulk. Yeah. I think that's why
it's more expensive. Wait, hold on. Real quick.
The menus for this are Paleo, Whole30, Keto,
Plant -Based, and GLP -1. I don't know what GLP
-1 is. So that's what's in... It's diabetes.
Oh. That's the... I'm going to say this wrong,
but that's the Ozempic users. Yeah. I mean, you
know, the Ozempic was created for diabetes or
diabetics. Right, right, right. So it's insulin.
Yes, it's OK for people that are using that on
that diabetic. Really? Wait, that's cool. Right.
But it's for all people that are on those specific
dietary nutrition plans, which if you're on Whole30
or keto or you're on Ozempic or you are diabetic,
you might wanna spend the extra money because
this is specifically made for you. Yeah, you
don't have to think about anything. Yeah. That's
actually pretty cool. Yeah. I did partial research
on that one. Shipping is $9 .99 and I wrote this
down because I was like, damn, it must suck to
live in Alaska or Hawaii. It's $49 .99 shipping
if you live in Alaska or Hawaii. What? Hawaii.
Oh. Oh, that's how our grandpa used to say it.
Hawaii. Hawaii. Well, I'm pretty sure that's
how you're supposed to say it if you live there.
But like, we're a tourist. Oh, well, our Delco
grandpa. Delco, yeah. He used to say Hawaii.
We used to be. Because he went once. He went
once. He visited once and was like, Hawaii. This
is me. I love the women here. All right. Best
for singles. Oh, there's there's a menu for that.
Yeah, try that again later. Try that again later
too. This is so tight. It's really hurting. Like
I can't, there's no oxygen going because it's
so tight. I love when you give good examples.
It's Women Founded and it's called Splendid Spoon.
Ooh. Which I think is really cute. I really like
that name now that I'm thinking about it. But
Women Founded is great. Yay. $9 .99 to $13, and
it's prepared only. You don't have to make it.
It's not going to come raw. It's all put together.
And I think it's single serving. But the cost
is not high. So it's for singles, obviously.
So it's going to come in a single serving. And
it's weigh your options if you're going to go
out to a restaurant. Would you ever go to a restaurant
alone? Did you ever? No, but Andrew does and
loves it. I love it. I used to do it all the
time in New York. I used to go to the movies
by myself. Did you ask me that question and expect
me to say yes I went out to dinner by myself?
At one time I thought maybe you were a different
person when we weren't friends. Like there's
a whole time of your life I don't really know
much about. I never would go out to dinner by
myself. Why? Especially in New York. Because
I'm a homebody, number one. If there's any place
I'd love to be, it's at my house, locked in my
safe space. Yeah, one bedroom apartment where
the kitchen is the living room, is the guest
room, is the dining room, and there's no sink
in the bathroom. Yes, loved that for me. But
no, I wouldn't even do that now. I'm very comfortable
in my house being alone. Love doing that. That's
new. You have seven entrances and exits in your
house and she was not comfortable for a very
long time. Yeah, no. And every door is locked
at all times. As it should be. You have seven
doors. Yeah. Anyway, this meal plan, real quick,
is the pro is there's no subscription needed.
So it's not like you have to sign up and you
get an extra discount for like next month if
you sign up for six months. You can do it month
to month. You can do it meal to meal. That is
pretty awesome. Yeah, I don't like being tied
into a subscription I just did one because I
wanted the discount wait the thing that you sent
me spoiled child no, I Didn't do this inscription
for you just calling me that or is that actually
you are a spoiled child It's also not called
spoiled child. What's it called? So what I just
bought was the wrong thing that you sent me brain
No, it's spoiled. It's called spoil child. Oh,
yeah. Cool. We don't sponsor. We're not. It doesn't
matter. It really doesn't matter. It's liquid
collagen that Instagram attacked me with. And
I fell for it. But let's let's hope it works.
And Victoria said she liked it. So I bought it
as well. It tastes really good. That's what I
liked about it. It was day one. And Carly was
like, me too. Send me the link. I was like, no,
this isn't about you. So I did. And I said it's
something I'm she was like, I'll buy it, too.
I said, but that's not why I told you anyway.
But no, what you were saying was. The subscription
like if you wanted the subscription you got you
wanted it to be delivered monthly You got ten
dollars off every month. I just did the one time
only That's what I did. Yeah, just because I
wanted to try it first What you can try for free
and you only have to pay if you like it. Oh Yeah,
they didn't charge you Sweet unless you did it
completely different company and did it wrong.
No, I only told Andrews 20 bucks. So of course
you did Of course you did Splendid spoon. I wrote
this down because it made me laugh and then made
me sad. Oh, no their description of like Keto
paleo like all the options of what you could
Be and also enjoy this service This is for singles
soups noodles Smoothies shots shots. I don't
know what shots means probably like energy shots
or like community shots But like soups noodles
how sad are singles what? They're not allowed
to eat meat. They're not allowed to eat. It's
just like they're like They're like guilty pleasure
foods, right? I want noodles. I'm gonna Why cuz
they're single. Yeah Founded by women get it
together. I'm also making fun. I bet you it's
awesome Wait, here's a con that is only on this
meal service for singles Meals may be too low
in calories to be fulfilling for some Why? I
would need to see the nutritional information
for that. Yeah, I don't know. It's not on, it's
any other con for any other meal service. That's
weird. I don't know. Anyway, I didn't look into
that. Yeah. All right. Two more and then we're
done. Gluten -free. Okay. I wrote this one down
because we now know three that I can name celiac.
and serious celiac, not just like, I'm gonna
go gluten free because it's California cool.
Celiac disease, they cannot touch a food that
touched gluten or else they're down for the count
for a week. Yeah. Probably plus more. I know
them too. We have the same friends. She doesn't
text any of them. So they're really not friends,
but we do know the same humans. But I want to
be on the text thread. But I'm not going to respond.
I can't read my writing of what it's called.
Oh my God. It starts with an E. Read it. You
have it right there. What do you want me to read?
The name of the service. Oh, territory foods.
That's a horrible name for a meal service. That's
not the one I have written down. Oh. Epi -card.
Epi -curd. Well then you skipped one. Epi -cured.
Epi -cured. God. Epi -cured. It's probably it's
probably cliff guys cliff notes. This is like
the discounted version of life Alright, this
is meal services for idiots not dummies meal
service for idiots. It's free shipping Wait,
it's free shipping. Great. This is the only one
that's free shipping. They're like you have celiac.
Oh You don't have to pay And I appreciate that
about them it's prepared meals only so you don't
to make it Which I think is nice but also like
You really got to trust this facility that it's
gluten -free because anything that's being touched,
right? So yes, that's true 899 is the lowest
price we have heard of per meal and It's 899
to 2925 which probably means again steak Fish
something expensive, but it follows all the most
dietary restrictions and it's 100 % gluten -free
So if you have celiacs or if you're just having
an intolerance to gluten. Like I have said before,
I think Andrew has an intolerance. He does not
have celiacs at all, but I think he has an intolerance
to it. He can't do splendid spoon with the noodles.
No, he can't. Not a noodle guy. Not a noodle
guy. He's not a noodle guy. Although he's a foe
guy. He does like foe. I love foe. I love foe.
Fuh. Oh, it's fuh. Fuh. It's Fuh. But it was
called Fuh Street. No, it's called Fuh Street.
That's how you spell Fuh. Fuh U. P -H -O. Fuh
U. We called it Fuh Street because we're from
Delco. But it's Fuh. And it is one of my favorites.
I'm just going to go around saying Fuh U to people.
Fuh them. Fuh them. Just Fuh them. Fuh them.
Fuh them. Wait, I was at BJ's wholesale, and
next to BJ's is Urban Air. And there, you'll
all get this, their sign says, let them. Stop.
Like let them jump. I guess, but it just says,
let them. And I almost took a picture. You should
have. I was in a rush. That's my motto of life.
I know. And we had just done the let them, let
them. And Carly ruined it with let them. But
it said, apostrophe E -M. on the sign. I was
like, this is amazing. Let them. Last one and
it's super specific. Like super specific. However,
it's very popular. It's very specific. Best Korean.
Like it couldn't be more specific. Couldn't be
more specific that they're like dietary. all
the things that it falls under, it's like, it's
Korean. It basically just said, it's Korean food.
Like there's no dietary restrictions. It's Korean.
The con would be if you don't like Korean food,
don't get this. I love Korean food. Wait, but
it doesn't, sorry, Hawaii. It does not ship to
Hawaii at all. It does not want their food in
that state. I don't think Hawaiians want it either,
but that's okay. It's called DoFood Healthy Korean
Meal Kit. So it's a meal kit, and it tells you
in the title that you're gonna make, and I think
part of Korean food is making it, that's what
those hotpots are. I'm going at the end of the
month, very excited. Like you make it. Is that
what that, soul food? Seol? S -E -O -U -O. We
say things right. What is it called? It's a hotpot.
It's a Korean hotpot, so you have kind of like
a hibachi, but you have the stove. at your table
and you make it. They give you raw meat. Shut
up. Yeah, you do it. I'm gonna go tonight. You're
not. I am. No, I'm going. You're also not going
when we go. When are you going? I'll go. You
guys want me to come? No, I don't think we do
because you're gonna wear that. Yeah, I will.
With the tag on because in case I want to take
it back. I just blacked out a little. Yes. Korean
food is a meal kit, whether you're going to a
Korean hot pot place or you can do it at home.
So I think it's an experience. Korean food is
an experience. Yeah, yeah. I like Korean food.
It's kind of expensive. There's a $60 minimum,
but that's but I don't think that's bad. I feel
like she's upset. We were talking about our grandpop.
So I'm thinking of what he would say about this.
He'd say he could. feed a family for a month
on $60. So the $60 minimum would seem like a
lot, but not nowadays anymore. Unfortunately,
$60 is just, goes like that. My God, I went to
the store for five items and it was like 50 bucks.
Well, yeah, I went to Trader Joe's and I spent
like $178 and they were, you know. I love Trader
Joe's, but they always make me feel so bad about
how big my cart is full because a lot of people
go to Trader Joe's, they have like two bags of
food. I leave with like six and they're like,
oh, how long is this going to last you? I want
to say like a month and a half. I'm like, oh,
two weeks. But like, screw you guys. But what
I mean, what I mean is like I was like, oh, one
hundred and seventy dollars. That's the least
amount of money I have spent in Trader Joe's
ever. You should just say I have a family of
five. I usually say I have eight kids and then
they leave me alone. I'm like, oh, I have eight
kids and they eat a lot. And then conversation
is dead. And then they tell me how good I look
for eight kids and it's just the best. Wow. Wow.
But yeah, but $178 to me, I'm like, man, I made
out. This was a deal. But that would be a lot
for me. But that would be a lot for you. Right,
right, right. That would last me longer. Right.
I've definitely spent over that by myself. But
it lasts a long time. Yeah. When I can get out
of Giant for $300 or less, I'm like, man, goals.
Yikes. I know. It's horrible. So that's why I
think $60, not that hard to do. Yeah, for a minimum.
Not that bad. Their shipping is $10 .99. But
as we've seen, other than the gluten -free one,
They're shipping for everything. So I understand
that. I really do. Yeah. All right. That is the
last of the Cliff Notes list of the one article.
But I want to add one from the other one, because
all of those that we said do not support vegans.
The best vegan one is sprenly prep meals. Sprenly
prep meals. OK. Yeah, it's for vegans, vegans
only. If you live the vegan lifestyle, you have
a meal service and it's prepared stuff. So you
don't have to make it yourself. It's not a meal
kit. There's only six meals to choose from. I
like that. I think that's not enough, though.
I feel like that's not like that meals per week.
That's yeah. All right. Well, because you're
not eating them six days in a row. What if why?
Oh. What why you're buying a meal kit for a month
Because you can if there's only six items on
the menu Then you can just spread it out in between
your regularly schedule. Yeah, you're gonna go
out to dinner You know you you guys are gonna
go out to dinner three times twice a week You
don't need six meals in a row. You're gonna spread
it out, right? Right. I'm right. You're wrong.
I'm big. You're small. I'm Smart. You're dumb.
I'm... You were close. I was. You were close.
Matilda. I don't think the order was right, but
I think you were close. Also, you're not big
and I'm small. If you've noticed, I'm sitting
on a mountain, so it makes me look... Lenny is
larger! Well, that's from Airplane. And also,
Victoria's couch is broken. It's broken! I'm
in the divot. I wanted to sit on a pillow. She
wouldn't let me. Yeah, it looked ridiculous.
It was like, you look like a small child at a
theater. No. Anyway, I think six items on the
menu is not a con. Yeah, circle back, circle
back. I'm really good at circling back. I'm not
good at ending things. Cool. Well, we're not
going to end it just yet. We're going to do something
we haven't done in a minute, which is real tips
and real extra tips. Drum roll. I only have one
hand. Are you going to put that in? A drum roll?
Yeah, I'll put a drum roll in. Yeah, cool. Eventually,
I'm going to get the video set up where all of
you have this sound effects as well. It's going
to happen. Give me a year. The real tip for me
is called order up. And it's do this. But if
you don't want to do a meal kit or a prepared
meal delivery service and you make your meals,
do this with someone, not Carly. Not someone
like Carly. Because I'm not a cooker. But your
partner, your kids, your friends. Have a friend
come over one night a week. Cook with people.
Yeah. It's so much fun. Pedro and I cook. Every
time that he's here or I'm there, like we're,
well no, every time he's here, we cook. Cook,
yeah. And on my Sundays off, it's like breakfast,
brunch. cook and you've seen them. It looks amazing.
Yeah, it's really good. And it's, it's so fun.
There's something about such a big connection
when you're in the kitchen with someone else
and you're not just doing it silently by yourself
or even listening to something like, then you
can enjoy it together. And so connection just,
it just helps the whole process. So I say, if
you're not going to do a meal kit, either a meal
kit or make it yourself with someone else, your
own grocery food and One time a week, I think
that's doable. You're going to be very surprised
to hear this, but the kids and I make homemade
pesto. I know that. I've never been given it.
So it is so good. Melody's like, is this an old
time family tradition? I'm like, yep. We've been
doing it for decades. Well, we've been eating
it for decades. Well, my pesto does not taste
like the store bought pesto. Like we make it
with basil, chickpeas, olive oil, parmesan cheese,
like we don't measure anything. So it tastes
a little different every time. I know like she's
a cooker. She's a cooker. I'm a cooker. I'm a
cooker. It is the only thing I can say. That
I do decently in the kitchen. I'm not a cooker
lies coconut rice. Oh, I do make good coconut
rice I've been trying to get them to put the
pesto on the coconut rice. They're not into it
I think that would be really good. Anyway, I
do like to cook that with the kids and they get
really excited after school They're like, can
we make it? I want to put the oil in the blender
I want to can I put the Parmesan cheese in and
if Makes me always think we should do more of
that and then we don't you make cookies and bakers
with them like winter Christmas season. We make
muffins. Pumpkin muffins is like our favorite
thing to make from Trader Joe's. Oh right, from
a box. But when they make cookies with me, they're
like, Mommy never lets us do anything. Well,
because they make a mess. But then you clean
it up. I know. All right. Your real extra tip
of the week is... Wait, what was yours? What
was it called? Order up. Your real extra tip
of the week is order in. What does order in mean?
Order in means if you are a big order outer,
if you're an order outer, an order outer, or
you go out to eat a lot, try nixing it for a
month. Just number one, see how much money you'll
save. If it's for nothing else, your bank will
explode. and we'll call you and ask you if somebody
has stolen your credit card because you have
not used it. It's a Bond movie. It's a Bond movie.
And to see if you can do it. See if you can,
one, either try one of these meals that we talked
about. Try one of these subscription boxes. See
if you like it. You might love it. Or just try
cooking at home for one month. See how much money
you'll save. You might actually like it better.
Yeah. And there's things leftovers. Some people
aren't leftovers people. We are leftovers people.
I don't understand you people. I don't understand.
Why? Why not? I love a leftover and I love a
cold leftover. Remember when you see cold pizza
for breakfast? On Saturdays. Yeah. But that would
be ordering out and we don't want you to do that.
No, that was Elio's pizza in a box. Well, yeah,
but it was also Thunderbird. Thunderbird. But
make your own pizza. Trader Joe's has a great
little section with make your own pizza stuff.
Kids love making their own pizza. Really? Yeah.
And if I had time and like doing that enough,
I would try it too. So maybe I'll try it. You
do you. You know, she'll do her, but you do you.
No, try to order in meaning don't order out for
one month. We get it. It's a twofer. I think
we get it. I think we heard you. That's all she
wrote. You do look like you're melting. I'm waiting.
Every time I see the goddamn moon, even if it's
waxing, I hear her go, I'm waiting. And if you
know, you know. Go back, episode like seven.
You know, you know. Don't say that because I
don't think it's episode seven. That was like
when we cried or something. She's all right.
She'll be all right. So yeah, I actually enjoyed
this. I think they just keep popping up on my,
like they're everywhere. And when I see the ads
that I either buy it, because I'm like, hey,
spoiled child, all right, fine. Or I'm like,
leave me alone. To me, I'm not a prepared meal,
meal kit subscription box. It's my own issue
with subscriptions and memberships. That's me.
Hold on. I know this is going longer than we
wanted it to, but one that we did not. talk about
that we both really like, and it was not on this
list, is Daily Harvest. I absolutely love Daily
Harvest. I used to be a subscription holder for
like an entire year when I lived in New York.
It is vegan. It is gluten -free, there's smoothies,
there's meals, there's desserts, and it is, number
one, really super healthy. It is a little expensive,
but I just got a box for our dad over Christmas,
and I got a box for our mom over Christmas because
they never have time to make anything. Maybe
that's why I'm not a cooker, okay? Maybe that's
where I got it from. But you put it in the microwave
and that's that, and that's it. Keep it in the
freezer. You put one in the microwave. It's either
breakfast, lunch or dinner. There's snacks. Look
it up. Daily harvest. Please take a second to
look it up. But also, if you do order it, don't
leave it on your porch for days because they're
cold, you know? They're cold and they'll go bad
and they'll melt and you'll waste a lot of money.
I ordered it for our parents, but also too early.
And I didn't have the room in my freezer to hold
the giant box, but I didn't want to give it to
them before Christmas. So I kept it outside and
it was very warm over the Christmas season. It
was good for the singles because it was like
soup, you know. I can't be good at everything.
That's an episode. But yeah, I agree. Daily Harvest
that one time was that was all my refrigerator
had. Yeah, that's it. And it's still great. It's
still really great. So we hope you got something
out of this. you've been like wondering about
meal kits for yourself or meal services and We
hope that maybe if you're listening to it, you're
like, yeah screw all that I'm gonna stay me that
