Everyone has chapters in their life.
That's right.
 Yeah, don't be sad.
It's over.
 Just be glad it happened.
 You want any more motivational posters? Yeah, what else have you got? Oh, I had one today when  Helen Keller  actually  allegedly said this.
 Oh, it was on my clipboard.
Let's see.
Let's see if I can accidentally text somebody.
I'll text you.
How about that?  This will be great.
 What the heck?  Where's my clipboard?  Oh grandma, this is a great story.
 With you the sun is shining 24x7 Cause  when we're together it feels like we're in heaven If it will get dark you'll be my million stars  I know I can lean on you m Welcome to episode 96 of Delete This History, a podcast by two besties of a certain age searching for answers.
We are your hosts, Cara Burch.
I'm Brea Brown.
Hello.
Hi.
Does it feel to you like it's been six months  since we have had a proper rain shower like we're having today? uh Yes.
 It seems so weird.
It started last night.
 I was still awake when it started and I was like,  oh man.
This is nice.
You were still awake when it started.
Oh my gosh, yes.
It started around 11 o'clock at our house.
Yeah, I was still awake.
Oh, wow.
But not much longer after that because once I heard the rain, I was like, yeah.
And so I fell asleep in my chair.
I don't know what time I woke up in my chair.
I just stumbled to bed.
I wanted to fall asleep in Clint's chair, Clint's chair, which I have taken over, the way.
Oops.
How does he feel about that? He's never in it.
Like I give it up if he wants to come sit in the living room.
Oh,  Oh, yeah.
Right.
Because he's always playing.
He's always at his computer.
Yeah.
And I was like, this chair is too good to just be sitting here empty.
Good idea.
So, I sit in it.
And it is so comfy.
Nice.
That's why he always falls asleep in it.
Mm hmm.
It's been really nice.
And that's part of the reason I was so late is when it is rainy, which is my jam.
 I like rainy weather.
I just move slower because it's so relaxing to me and I just like to enjoy it.
I move a little slower because I don't want to go out in it.
Oh, see it doesn't bother me.
I don't like it.
I know you're not a rain person.
I don't like it to get wet, but I know we need it.
Like even my skin, my whole body is dry right now.
And we haven't even had, I mean we had a spate of cold weather.
Yes we did.
But it's been really mild lately.
So, it's not like it's like cold weather dry skin, but I am just dry.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
Well, it's lovely today.
I know.
 I don't think you're going to visit me when I moved to the Pacific Northwest eventually.
 Ah, man.
That's one of the things keeping me from moving there.
Oh, I understand.
Because I just I would not do well with it.
I think I think that I would do well with it.
But then once I get there, maybe I wouldn't.
I don't know, because I do.
 enjoy like this week it was so sunny and gorgeous.
I never take lunch breaks ever.
Every day this week I left and I took a lunch break and I went out and I drove around and ran errands.
It was beautiful.
It wonderful.
It was perfect.
It really was.
So, I do enjoy sunshine I guess.
And that has been your weather forecast.
from Delete This History.
Hey, listen, we are women of a certain age.
We talk about weather.
And they talk about weather, all right? Yep.
I bet everyone listening was like  in agreement with us.
We went to my brother's house this past  Wednesday night for Cincinnati chili, because not everybody in his house likes chili, Cincinnati chili.
That's so nice.
And so he was like, I made a batch and I won't be able to eat all this, which is a lie.
He could totally eat all that.
But  he was like, why don't you come over? And so we did.
And we spent the majority of dinnertime talk talking about how much we ache, like our aching joints  and what on our bodies hurt the most and what gives us problems.
And I was like, next time we have dinner together, we'll talk about bowel movements.
  You're so old  Anyway I'm just on a journey.
That's right.
I'm on a medical journey right now.
 Yes, I found out that when you don't get any vitamins You don't think well, and you don't feel well, and you don't operate well.
It's true,  and it's really nice when you go to a different physician type person  I went to a nurse practitioner and I'd like to thank her for running some extra tests instead of just saying,  hey, get some exercise and skip the chocolate cake, which is what my doctor likes to tell me.
year, once a year.
Maybe I need a new doctor.
 anyway, um it annoys the piss out of me.
I'm like, yeah, I do skip the chocolate cake, asshole.
 I don't get exercise because I have no energy.
 I have just the amount of energy to go to work and function.
And that's it.
Yep.
So, anyway, she ran some extra tests.
I have no vitamins in my body.
Deficient.
 And it's not that I don't eat things with vitamins.
One of my medications was keeping me from absorbing vitamins.
Boom.
So, if you are on omeprazole and you've been on it for a while and you're a person of a certain age, you may want to talk to your doctor about that because it ain't good for you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, anyway, um.
 I just  would like to say that since I went on some vitamins  and stopped taking my omeprazole,  I feel like a different person.
That's incredible.
I'm so happy for you.
I mean, like I can think all that time.
I was such a dumb dumb.
I told John you had been on that for an extensive amount of time and he was uh angry was kind of the way I would put it.
He was like, you're not supposed, he said, I know over the, like there's an over the counter version.
And he said, that's like two weeks max.
 And he said, I know you can get it prescribed, but he said, that's not, she shouldn't have been on that for so long.
 know.
I was mad for you.
I was mad too, especially  after all she had to do was take some extra tests to find out what the heck was wrong with me.
 This is why you have to advocate for yourself in the doctor's office.
And if that doctor does not listen to you when you advocate, you finally say, it's time, I have to say something, you leave that person.
I did that a few years ago and found me an amazing doctor and it has made all the difference.
It's so important.
I know.
So, anyway, that's what I've been going through.
Good for you.
And it has just been...
So, far it's been life-changing.
That's incredible.
My joints feel better.
And after how much time? Is it been a week? Two weeks?  Um,  a week.
After one week? Yes.
You feel like a new person? Yes.
I told somebody at work that em about once a week I would have a bed day.
Yeah.
Where I just stay in bed because I'm so tired.
Yeah.
And I wouldn't sleep, but I would just, that would be where I would do everything.
 Everything was from the bed.
It was command center.
 And she was like,  did you just think other people do that too? And I was like, no, I knew that other people got out of bed every day.
 But that was just what I would do.
That's how I would treat myself.
One of my weekend days was a freaking bed day.
 And she was like, oh my God.
She was kind of horrified.
Well.
And it made me feel bad.
But then I was like, but that's good though, because sometimes you need a reality check.
You need somebody else to say that ain't normal.
Uh, it's not normal.
It's probably not normal on a weekly basis.
Right.
I would agree.
But if that's how you, if that's what you had to do to function the rest of the days of the week, then you do what you do.
Right.
I mean, it's that or.
You if you need to snort some cocaine.
 mean, you have to.
You're a mother.
You're a wife.
Listen, you have a full time job.
I was about to get to that point.
Yeah, I know.
Where it's like, well, I mean, not maybe not.
Maybe not like an illegal drug.
Right.
 what can I do? Yes.
Because this  sucks.
 And you have to keep functioning.
Yeah.
You do what you have to do.
Anyway, so that's that.
 Do you feel like? playing a little game? Now that you're feeling more energized? I do.
I'm gonna just kick, I'm what, huh? You can do it.
I'm gonna hit all of these questions from now on out of the ballpark.
yeah you will.
What is today's question? Oh, I bet you will get this question today.
Oh, you think so? I do.
All right.
Brea, oh wait a second.
Oh Okay, ready? Yeah.
Search me.
This is where we play a little game.
We ask each other a trivia question and it's based on what we searched this week, something like that, because I didn't read my script.
Yeah, I mean, we got a little ahead of ourselves because we're so excited.
very excited about Brea's energy.
Okay, Brea, what did Simon and Schuster publish for the first time in 1924 that was deemed a menace to society? 1924, a menace to society.
Joys of sex.
We didn't know about sex in 1924.
Oh that's right.
Little Women.
ah No, no, that's earlier.
 Um,  1924.
Oh boy, not even my vitamins are helping me out here.
 Man, I really thought you would get this.
Damn it.
I'm gonna kick myself when you say it.
The first book of crossword puzzles.
 What?  People  were so obsessed with these crossword puzzles.
I mean, I- Like, productivity just dropped off.
I get it.
People weren't working, people weren't doing stuff at the house, they weren't going out with their friends.
 They were so, people were so obsessed with crossword puzzles, just like.
 The video games of their day.
They were deemed a menace to society.
 It's like,  it's like the AI photo production of its day.
 Or Solitaire.
Oh.
When it first appeared on people's computers.
Yes.
 Remember that? Yeah.
Like they had to remove it from people's computers when they first.
You'd hide it when you were working.
 Somebody would come by, you'd minimize.
 I'm not playing Solitaire.
Oh my gosh.
I love Solitaire.
I love Spider Solitaire too.
Yes, I know you're a Spider Solitaire person.
I really love it.
I even like playing Solitaire just with like physical cards.
I tried to teach Peyton how to do that recently.
I don't know.
It was weird.
It didn't happen? It like blew his mind or something.
just could not.
It blew his mind.
He couldn't get the hang of that it has to be every other card is the color.
Yeah.
When you're stacking them down below.
But then when you stack them up top, they go by suit.
Like when you get rid of them, you go by suit.
Yeah, you're matching.
But when you're going in chronological order.
know what? Chronological? I don't know if that's the right word for that's right.
He couldn't...
I don't know.
Do you know, I never even thought about that.
Now that you're saying it, I'm like having to think about it really hard.
Like, oh yeah.
Like you have to alternate.
It never...
I never...
I mean, I'm sure...
just such muscle memory.
He's a smart kid.
Yeah, So, I'm sure he'd get it eventually.
but I got tired of trying to get him to do it.
That's hilarious.
And he got frustrated and I was just like, whatever, if you don't get it,  whatever, I'm done.
I'm done helping you with this.
I also really like, I like card games, period.
I also like um Kings Corner.
Have you played Kings Oh, it's one of my favorite games ever.
That's a good one.
Yeah, it totally is.
 We should play cards.
you, Nick Clint?  Oh, do you not like playing cards? I'm just not a very big card  I like skippo.
I've never played skippo before.
Skippo is amazing, but I don't really like you know like um Just regular Playing cards cards.
 I am a gin rummy freak.
 I'd love gin rummy I probably would be if I played with the right person maybe Well, I guess I won't invite you to my card games.
 So, crossword puzzles, huh? Yeah crossword puzzles I can relate because I love crossword puzzles.
A lot.
Oh, me too.
I love finishing a crossword puzzle.
 Yes.
And this is a problem for me because I finished one and I'm like, that felt so good to finish it.
So, I start another one right away.
Dopamine hit.
Then I get in the middle of this of the next game and I'm like, oh,  I'm kind of  sick of doing this crossword puzzle.
 But I can't.
I'm too type A to leave it.
So, I'm like, OK, I'll just finish this one.
Then I finish it and I'm like, that was so amazing.
I'm doing another one.
Your brain works so strangely.
I do not understand.
It's so stupid.
It's a chore and then it's I win.
Oh, I do another one.
It's a chore.
I win.
I'm gonna do another one.
That's exactly it.
That is really...
It's like book writing.
It's thrilling to start one.
It's thrilling to end one.
The middle is a slog.
Why? Okay, are you ready for your question? Yes.
Okay, here we go.
Which sport has produced the highest number of elite athletes whose parents were also elite athletes? Oh! Would you like some multiple choice options? I would be a dummy not to allow multiple Because there are a lot of sports.
There are.
Here we go.
Is it A.
Tennis, B.
Figure skating, C.
Formula one racing or D.competitive hot dog eating? It had better not be competitive hot dog eating.
Just thinking about a hot dog eating contest makes my gag reflex kick Oh gosh, I hate it.
So, first of all, I'm going to tell you that my gut reaction before you gave me those was football.
Like it was going to be football.
Oh.
But that obviously is not correct.
So, no, I think you said tennis, figure skating, hot dog eating and Formula one racing.
Formula one.
All right, my gut, we've talked about this.
My guts telling me tennis.
Oh, please don't say figure skating.
It is figure skating.
Oh, God, that was my second guess.
The sport is full of multi-generational athletes, including from the past Olympics, Ilya Malinin, Max Naumov, and Andrew Torgashev, all Americans whose parents were world-class Russian skaters.
Oh my goodness, interesting.
And they came  to  the United States.
 let's see,  no not Max, Ilya Malin and his parents were Uzbekistan, but that was Russia.
That's basically Russia.
 It became Russia.
Okay.
 So, anyway.
Interesting, you know what? I used to follow figure skating in the 90s.
Like I knew everybody.
I knew all those people.
I follow it every four years.
But I get so into it.
just don't.
get I think I burnt myself out on figure skating.
Yeah.
Now I just don't watch it.
I just don't care that much about it.
past Olympics it was really thrilling.
Moving on.
Hey, Brea.
Yeah, yeah.
Shared history.
It is shared history.
Now, my topic is going to be a little unpopular and it's a little callous and it's a little harsh.
I love it.
Bring it on.
So,, okay, someone at work.
I have to tell you how this all came about.
I love context.
Thank you.
This is why you and me work together.
 You're my Valentine.
 Someone at work asked me what my favorite meal was.
And I said, Do you see how big I am?  I said, do you think I can honestly narrow down what I eat to a favorite meal?  I love everything.
 And she empathized with me.
She was like, yeah, but she had a favorite meal.
 And so that, cause I love food so much that stuck with me and I was like, what is my favorite meal? That's like, ask me what my favorite movie is.
Man, how do I pick a favorite movie? Like if you were on death row,  this is where it's going.
Oh, is it? Okay.
This is where my, so, so  I thought to myself, if I,  if I knew it was my last meal, what would I pick?  I still couldn't figure it out.
Really? It might  be sushi.
 Oh man, I love sushi Oh my gosh, I love sushi too.
But it might be a really  good like.
 something with mashed potatoes.
like a meat and potatoes.
Yeah, like comfort food.
Chicken fried steak or like if you do that right.
Oh boy, dude.
But if you mess it up, it is so gross.
Yeah, it is like grisly and disgusting.
I can't even remember the last time I had a chicken fried steak.
I was probably a child because I don't trust anyone to do it right.
My grandma did it right.
my gosh, Grandma Minor.
Thank you.
Bless your heart.
So, I was like, you know what? We know what some death row inmates  got as their last meals.
 So, to inspire myself, I looked them up.
Oh my gosh.
That's terrible.
This is morbid.
It's so morbid.
 And I have a little,  I stumbled onto some information here and there that I will share with you.
I'm here for it.
Okay.
 Now I'm not going to list the names of  the inmates because I felt like that was pretty callous too.
So,  I've got the state and the year.
Okay.
All right, so Texas, 2011.
So, this individual ordered a massive meal.
Are you ready? Two chicken fried steaks, a triple meat bacon cheeseburger, fried okra.
Oh man, fried okra might be in part of my last meal.
Sometimes it's real good and then sometimes it ain't good.
That's true.
A pound of barbecue, three fajitas, a meat lover's pizza.
pint of ice cream, a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed nuts, and a Dr.
Pepper.
So, then he got all this food.
They gave it to him.
So, it sounds like he had the same problem you have.
I think so.
He just could not.
He could not decide.
But then he got all the food and then he refused to eat it.
And so that pissed the state of Texas off beyond belief.
And so that guy was the impetus for Texas to no longer offer last meal choice.
 So, Texas no, that was in 2011.
Now I've heard that some States have done that because some of these inmates, they go crazy and they're like, listen, exactly.
We're not going to reward you.
And some States have never offered or  for  many, many years  they've not offered.
They get a standard meal.
Yeah.
Like all the other inmates.
 Um,  So, it's hit and miss.
So, this guy ruined it for everybody.
He ruined it for everyone in Texas.
Oh my gosh.
All right.
The next one is.
Wait, wait, I got to ask.
Yes, go ahead.
Was he making a statement? I'm not sure.
And so I did a little research on that.
Was he, what was that all about? Or did he just, he was like, man, they're about to execute me.
I can't eat.
I don't know.
I could never find an answer and maybe they never got an answer.
 It may have been him sticking it to the man for the last time.
Like, get me all these things.
You're going to spend hundreds of dollars on this mind.
I don't know.
We can't ask him.
Oh, so they went through with it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, boy.
OK.
Illinois, 1994.
Bucket of KFC, fried shrimp, french fries, strawberries and a Diet Coke.
Florida, 1989.
Steak, eggs, hash browns.
Toast, milk, and juice.
 Man, your standard brekkie.
Yeah, he wanted a breakfast.
That sounds really good, actually.
I'm assuming he.
Yes, oh, they're all men.
Okay.
I don't like steak for breakfast.
It's too heavy.
Oh, yeah.
 I've never been.
Like,  maybe in like a burrito or like a breakfast burrito, steak is okay, like steak and eggs.
Because it's just a little bit.
I really like sausage in my breakfast burritos.
Sausage and a fried potato.
 Oh, yeah.
Who  is doing taking notes? Okay.
I'm super hungry right now.
I'm starving  Oklahoma 2001 I bet we can all guess who that is.
Oh, yeah, two pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
 That's all Florida 2002 cup of coffee and a peanut butter sandwich Iowa 1963, one single olive with the pit.
What? I mean, I like olives,  but that's  bizarre.
That was not inspiring to me at all.
Virginia 2017 hamburger, a salad and a strawberry milkshake.
I like strawberry milkshake.
do too.
All right, last one.
Okay, yeah.
Arkansas, 1992, steak, fried chicken, cherry Kool-Aid, and pecan pie.
That was a nostalgic like kid thing.
Cherry Kool-Aid.
What I didn't quite understand about this one was he ordered the pecan pie to be eaten after his execution.
So, I guess he ordered it so the staff could eat it.
 I didn't understand it.
And I couldn't find any more information about it.
Like, what does that mean? But he just ordered it and said  it was to be eaten after his execution.
Does he not understand? I do not know.
 So, anyway.
If he doesn't understand that.
em Maybe he shouldn't be executed? Exactly.
 Maybe he was hoping it would be stopped.
Maybe.
Like he gets a good meal.
They're like, no, we're not gonna do this.
Hold this back.
This will be my celebratory stay of execution pie.
So, all of that, it still did not help me decide.
Oh really? Like I just, think that I am so, I'm so like, what am I in the mood to eat? It's a mood thing.
It's so driven by my mood and how I feel.
 is not good.
Of course it's not.
That's why I'm so fat.
 It's why my pants are as big as they are.
 that's, I'm the same way too.
I'm not judging and saying that's not good.
right.
No, no.
 You're 100 % right.
 So, it would have to be day of,  like I know this is my last day on earth.
Hmm,  what do I feel like eating?  Cause I'm sure.
And you'd still be like all the things.
I will, I'm sure, you know, probably wouldn't have much of an appetite if I had to guess.
Cause that's the kind of person I am.
That's the thing about those last day meals.
It's like, I don't know, maybe if you've been on death row long enough, it would be a relief.
Like,  so get me off this planet.
I know it would be for me.
That sounds horrible.
I think that life in prison is way worse.
 Life in prison without parole.
I think that's a way worse sentence than the death penalty.
would agree.
I can't imagine being locked up and told what to do and where to go and where to sleep and all the things for the rest of my life.
There are fates worse than death.
Yes.
And that I think is one of them.
That's why I don't think that the government should be killing people.
Because why? We have other  methods of punishment that are worse.
Well,  and more expensive, I think is.
Oh yeah, it is more expensive to keep people, but you know what I mean.
But yeah, I mean, but  I don't think, well, we can get into a whole debate and you and I have talked about this before.
Yeah.
It's, I don't feel like.
It's hard.
It is hard.
I don't support the death penalty.
I've said this before, I'll say it again, but there are some truly evil people  that do not deserve to breathe the same air we're breathing.
Correct.
 And I've never had somebody that I love murdered.
Exactly.
That's another thing too.
I can kind of take the emotion out of the equation.
Exactly.
Of course you can.
I mean, there's no way I could ever empathize with that.
 And  I understand that.
I hope I never can.
Oh my God.
Right.
I'm kidding.
So, I don't know.
Sushi is top of mind  right now because I think I want sushi.
 I could totally murder some sushi right now.
I I could eat sushi probably, if not every day, at least three times a week.
 I love it so.
I don't think I could eat it every day.
think I would probably get a little bit kind of like But I could eat it at least once a week easy What do you think your last meal could you pick a last meal? It might be Cincinnati Chili for me.
Oh my gosh.
It might be.
Oh my gosh.
Because I have it seldom enough  that it still is something really special.
Yeah.
All of a sudden my palm is itchy.
Don't you hate an itchy palm? That means you're gonna get some money.
 What? Yeah.
Fantastic.
That's what my granny always used to Oh my gosh.
Itchy palms meant you're about to have a windfall.
I could use some money.
I  got a fortune in my fortune cookie a couple weeks ago that said something big is gonna happen to me in April.
So, I held onto it.
I'm gonna see what, I don't know what's gonna happen.
So, we'll see.
Maybe I've got money coming to me in April.
 Maybe that's what this is.
Well, I I don't think you get, I think ahead.
 I don't think that you get that much notice with your itchy palms.
My palm thinks I hit.
Okay.
Maybe you'll just find like a $20 bill in a jacket.
I like doing that.
That's always fun.
I found, we have like a college fund, like, um,  what is it? It's like, pottery thing that has like a cork in the top.
Yeah, like a ceramic pot.
Yeah, and it says college fund on it, like a swear jar.
But  anyway, um we've never used that money for college fund.
Well, one year for Christmas, my mother-in-law always gives all of us each a $100 bill.
Yeah.
And one year we put all of our $100 bills in there and forgot about them.
  Oh my gosh.
And just the other day I was looking in the college fund thing because Peyton needed money for a field trip and I was like I don't have cash.
So, I was like let me see what's in the college fund jar and see if there's like a 20 in there or something.
And I had no expectation.
I was thinking there'd be a five and some singles.
Yeah.
There was like three one hundred dollar bills in there.
  And I was like, holy  shit.
 Oh my word.
 Where?  I mean,  that was amazing.
 That's hilarious.
That was like a windfall.
And you know what? I kept them in there.
 Absolutely.
Because it was so,  it was such a rush to open that thing.
I can't wait  until I forget about it again.
 And we have another three years or something.
 And I open it again and I'm like, oh my gosh.
So, that's what we kind of do too, is my dad and mom always give everybody 100 bucks and I have a little pouch and that's where I keep all my, yeah, and I just keep it.
like.
 She can't spend them, that's annoying.
Well, when we first got them, I would spend them.
So, like what I would do is like go online and buy something on Amazon that was 100 bucks and then I just go take the 100 bucks to the bank.
Of course.
That's what I would do.
Yes.
But then I got older and I was like, I don't need crap anymore.
I don't need anything.
Right.
So, I just started putting them in this little velvet pouch I had  and now I've got, mean, it's like a thousand dollars in this pouch now.
amazing.
I can't wait.
I mean, not can't wait, but I'm supposed to be the person who goes into your house after you die.
That's right.
And make sure that nothing embarrassing.
Yes, you are.
 Discoverable.
That's exactly right.
  We need to talk about where those embarrassing things are by the way some days so that you don't have to look for a long time.
 Check the bedroom first.
 Yeah, that would be my first.
 But yeah, if you find that pouch, bitch, that's yours.
It's all yours.
You don't have to tell anybody.
It is yours.
 It also has some weird keepsakes in the pouch, too.
Like teeth?  Do have any baby teeth in there? God,  no.
 There are no teeth in my house.
There's like a Kennedy dollar in there  that I think is real silver or something that's like very valuable.
And then there's something else in that pouch that I put that's a keepsake and I can't remember quite what it is now.
So, I get that pouch out every  Christmas  and I'm like, oh, look at the things that are in this pouch.
And then I put it all back and forget about it for another year.
oh You know what your jars making me think of though what two things what the first one was on new girl the douche the douchebag jar every time  Schmidt was a douchebag.
Oh my gosh, that thing was probably full It was full they make him put like ten bucks in there.
Oh my god.
He says something that was douchey  I didn't watch all the episodes of new girl No.
 I don't even know what to say to you right now.
I tired of it after a couple seasons.
 What?  Yep, I did.
So, you haven't seen the Prince episode? No.
 Oh my gosh.
I don't know what to say to you.
 I can't believe this.
 I can't believe this.
can't believe you've not watched.
 We have watched New Girl the entire series probably four times.
Sean and I.
It's one of his favorite, favorite shows.
 If he ever sends me a GIF, like just out of the blue, it's always a new girl GIF.
Really? Yes.
ah I don't know what to say.
Okay, the second thing it made me think of was on Afterlife, when the old lady,  she keeps like all of her money rather than in a bank, it's in a cookie jar in the kitchen and it gets stolen.
And so  Ricky Gervais' character interviews her and then he ends up putting a bunch of money back in her cookie jar.
 without her knowing.
 Oh, right.
I remember that storyline.
It's been a long time since I watched that show.
probably, I mean, it's still pretty We better not talk about it.
You're gonna start I'm gonna start tearing up.
Brea,  I digress.
 What did you search this week that was so interesting? Oh, I'm glad you asked.
 I searched GLP-1 impacts on US food industry.
 Oh, that's interesting search.
Still talking about food.
 One brain.
Here we go.
uh GLP-1, for those of you who don't know or haven't seen all the Serena Williams commercials or the multiple,  I don't know, all the other commercials.
Yes.
With  flash mobs and all kinds of things.
uh They suppress appetite, reduce cravings, and lower overall caloric intake.
As adoption grows, this is creating a measurable shift in food purchasing behavior.
Really?  heard about this at work.
Who at work brought this up?  Well, part of our um company, they do a lot of business  with food companies  and manufacturers  and  assembly lines.
 Oh.
It's production solutions.
Okay.
 And um they do a lot  of, um like industrial kind of process  design.
Okay.
Okay.
 And so they were talking about how this is going to impact our business.
 Wow.
And they specifically brought up GLP ones.
And I was like, holy crap.
I never even put two and two together.
Right? I would never have thought about that.
Here we go.
Okay.
 Users report smaller portion sizes.
 Who the users are here.
Oh, users of GLP ones.
There we go.
Smaller portion sizes, healthier choices, and less dining out.
GLP-1 users consume 21 % fewer calories annually on average.
 Households with the GLP-1 user cut grocery spending by 5.
5 % within six months with the biggest drop among high-income households, because they're the ones who can afford The GLP-1 drugs.
Yes, right.
 GLP-1 drugs are already reshaping the US food industry, forcing major manufacturers to rethink product lines, reformulate recipes, and shift investment toward purposeful foods,  meaning fuel rather than craving.
The way we're supposed to eat? Correct.
thanks.
 Companies built on high calorie impulse driven snacks are seeing the sharpest declines.
OK.
um GLP-1 users buy fewer chips, cookies, sweet baked goods, and other ultra-processed items.
 Good for them.
 Manufacturers are responding with smaller portion sizes, higher protein formulations, added fiber, and functional ingredients designed to appeal to consumers with reduced appetites.
 em And then retailers like grocery stores.
They're reallocating shelf space toward protein bars shakes  meal replacements and nutrient dense snacks  I saw a meme the other day that said I Have experienced more peer pressure as an adult to eat protein bars than drugs as a kid  That is true   I completely agree.
 We need a dare program for protein bars.
Just say no.
And energy drinks.
 Just say no.
Just say no to energy drinks, people.
Oh my gosh, they're so bad for you.
They are really, really bad for your teeth and your heart.
And I drank one the other day.
 Oh man.
Peyton told me a friend of his gave him an energy drink yesterday.
A monster.
Oh geez.
And I was like, dude, don't tell me these things.
Well, yeah, do tell me so that I can lecture you and nag you and tell you not to do that, but.
Let's see, what do we have here? GOP1 users consistently report eating less overall.
They eat smaller portions, fewer snacks,  and um they don't eat out as much.
Dine out.
 Thank you for clarifying.
Yeah.
You know, ever since we had that Chiron eating out with  so-and-so um back when we were in TV,  the whole term eating out or eat out is just ruined.
It's ruined for me.
And every time I say it, because I still say it, because that's just a very common term.
It's just colloquial.
What we wait, what we would say.
 Can you thank Tram for that? Yeah, I have no doubts.
Of course.
um Also,  GLP-1 users, if you eat too much, it really does make you sick.
uh And if you eat too many sugary things, it makes you sick.
And too many carbs, it makes you sick.
And that would be enough for me, because I hate feeling sick.
Right!  Right! I would just be like, it ain't worth it.
Yep.
I mean, I will suffer a headache for Cheetos maybe once a year.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's it.
But not regularly.
No way.
 Households with a GLP-1 user reduce food spending.
Again, we already said this, by roughly 5 to 8%.
With the biggest cuts in mindless eating categories that rely on cravings, what we were just talking about.
Yep.
And habit.
I'm watching TV.
I must eat half a box of Nilla wafers.
 Yes.
Yeah.
 The supply chain is feeling downstream effects.
There's lower demand for bulk oils,  sugars, and refined grains.
 Oh my gosh.
 So, upstream, agriculture may shift if long-term calorie reduction persists,  with more emphasis on crops used in protein blends and functional foods.
 And probably, I'm thinking, more meat production.
Probably so which is not good for the environment.
Sorry cows  Cows pigs chickens all that chops come from  that's the right they do in our house  Analysts estimate as much as 48 billion dollars in reduced annual food and beverage spending my gosh by 2034 this is a fascinating search I if this continues  I had no I like I would have never put these things together.
 I would have never thought that it's happening that widely.
mean, I mean, everybody wants to lose weight.
Nobody wants to be fat.
So, I guess I should have seen that coming.
But I just never thought about the consequences, the true consequences.
I didn't think it was really going to explode.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
This is so much more widespread than like,  um,  um, Atkins diet or paleo or any kind of those trendy diet eating things.
It's so much more widespread than like bariatric surgery  or  Things like that.
wonder what it takes to make that drug.
 What?  It's mostly caffeine.
Oh gosh, you're kidding me.
 Oh my gosh.
It's  a lot of caffeine.
you know, it's basically everything that's in the diabetes drugs minus the insulin.
Wow.
 So, that's making me think of when I was  in first started college.
What was the name? There was a pill.
Oh yeah.
What was that called? Is it dexatrim?  No, no, not dexatrim.
That was way, bad.
That was in the eighties.
What was this one? Everybody was like selling it.
Like you were, there were like pyramid schemes where you, you were also selling it.
Yes.
 What? And  it was like a,  it tasted awful.
 and he was brown.
I tried it.
Oh, I did too.
Everybody did.
And what's reminding me of it is because I got so jacked on these pills that I ended up having a panic attack at work one day.
were called.
And I worked in a doctor's office.
Oh, shit.
And Dr.
Bond was like, you're having a panic attack.
is what what's going on? So, we finally like figured it out.
He like made me go into the exam room.
He was like, we got to calm you down.
 And we finally figured out it was those pills.
 Yeah.
And of course I was like 19.
I didn't, you know, I was too stupid to realize that.
Are you ready? Give me a hint.
What's the first letter? M.
I knew it was M and I just could not.
Oh, was thinking it was an R.
An  M.
m What's the next letter? I'm trying to see if there's a brand name that was.
 R, no, E.
Shoot, I don't remember.
Metabolite.
Yes, metabolite.
Thank you, metabolite.
Yep.
Oh.
I might still have some of those, like a bottle of those somewhere in our house because.
Why not? I mean, because I never get rid of anything.
And you know.
And it probably went into some kind of like, because I have like a cube, like a storage cube that has a lot of like, you know, antacids and.
Tylenol, ibuprofen and stuff like that.
It just goes in there and it's in our kitchen.
I bet it's at the bottom of that.
may be.
Oh, metabolife, yes.
That's what that's making me think of.
 And  I don't ever want to feel like that ever again.
That was, it was so bad.
 I thought I was going to die.
I really did think I was going to die.
That's why Dr.
Bond was freaking out.
 Like he was getting ready to take me to the ER and we finally figured out, he was like, what have you taken today? What have you drank today? What have you eaten today? Like we were going through the list.
And so I told him that and he goes, like he slapped, he slapped the exam table and he rolled his eyes.
He was like, I'm no longer concerned about you now.
I'm just annoyed.
said, Cara, do you know what's in that? And so that's when I stopped taking it.
Well, Thank you, Mr.
Bond or Dr.
Bond.
Excuse me.
to try things sometimes.
I did and I was.
And learn the hard way, right? Oh my gosh.
 Let's see.
So, what does this mean for the economy? Yes.
What does it mean for the economy, Brea? Because here's the thing.
Yes.
We have despaired for how many decades about the obesity problem in this country? Multiple decades.
And in other countries.
Sure.
Other  Western.
you know, nations like the UK, they have a terrible obesity problem now.
um You're welcome.
Yeah.
I was going to say this probably because of us.
Yeah.
Americans, we love to spread the  worst parts of our culture.
Spread the love.
Spread the fat.
 So,, yes,  here you go.
Here's our contribution to the global scene is fatness.
But  You know, now that there is this  seemingly  simple solution,  what's going to happen?  I mean, are we playing with fire here? Are we about to have some kind of economic collapse  because of this? Supply chains feel the ripple, reduce demand for bulk ingredients like sugar, corn, and vegetable oils, and increase demand for protein blend supplements and nutrient dense products.
  Some of the money leaving the food sector reappears in health care  spending  as GLP-1 drug use rises,  redistributing economic activity rather than shrinking it  outright.
But  here's the thing, that's not gonna help people who work at these plants, these food plants.
Oh yeah, you're absolutely right.
And that's not gonna help farmers who  grow these  crops that we're no longer wanting, because we're like, ugh, you know? The long-term economic impact depends on whether GLP-1 use becomes a permanent part of American life or a transitional shift in how people approach food and health.
Yes.
But even if it's just a transitional shift, it  may become a permanent lifetime shift,  lifestyle shift for some people.
 So, how long,  how long are you supposed to use GLP-1? I don't know.
Is it, is it just an aid to help you build new habits or is it something that, you know, you, mean, surely that's not something you're going to take the rest of your life if you don't have diabetes.
Like you're just trying to lose weight.
Right.
So, then do you lose weight, you've built these habits, and you stop taking GLP-1 once you've reached your goal weight? And then you go back to the way you were, because you're like, oh, now I can eat cookies again without throwing up.
I don't know.
don't know.
I mean, everything is cyclical.
Of course it is.
 that's exactly what I was just thinking about is, you know, we change and factories stop making this thing.
And so those workers have to either shift and make the new thing or...
 They have to go find new jobs or you so I mean, it's just kind of like with AI,  how many jobs are going to be lost because of AI and people are going to have to shift? mean, or it's like with mining, right? We don't want to, we don't want to mine coal anymore because it's dirty.
 Well, let's mine these,  these metals that we use in technology.
 What are they called?  Rare metals, metals.
Yes.
Rare earth, rare earth metals.
That's correct.
Elements.
Yeah.
 I would not have been able to remember that two weeks ago.
 way.
Thank you, vitamins.
Thank you, vitamins, for my brain.
So, this  may be a case of be careful what you wish for.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Because,  you know, who knows? But time will tell.
um My sources were  NIH, CDC, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters,  USDA Economic Research Service.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, or the BLS, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, BEA.
Okay.
What a great search.
I found that really interesting and it pretty much kept me awake during that meeting.
Uh-huh.
Okay, are you ready to move on? Yes, Priya.
we've been talking forever.
Because what about this one? What about it? This is a listing.
of our other internet searches during this past week that were...
Oh yeah, they were just too damn boring.
Boring.
were what? Say it again, Brean.
They were just too damn boring.
Yes, so boring.
Forgot our roles here.
We're, yeah, we're off kilter, but it's okay.
It's our podcast.
We can do what we want.
That's right.
Damn it.
All right, here's my list.
Is it a long list? It's a medium list.
Reset Oil Life Honda Accord.
 They changed my oil.
They didn't reset it.
guys, you've got a checklist of things to do.
 Now I wonder if you've even changed my oil.
Right.
Did you even change it? Yeah.
I don't know.
Because you didn't reset the ding dang thing.
It's I'm sure it's just a button.
I reset it myself.
Oh, there it is.
A freaking button.
Get in my car, reset my oil, make me feel good about the work that you just did.
Maybe they were having a day like I was having yesterday and they put on their stupid hat.
I had to redo a job  seven  times yesterday at work.
 Even on the vitamins? Even on the vitamins.
don't know.
 And other people were witnesses to this.
It wasn't just  me having to redo it.
Other people had to say, Brea, this still is not right.
I was so embarrassed.
I just kept saying in the text  about it, like, oh my heck, oh my heck, I can't believe this.
I shouldn't be so harsh, Honda.
I appreciate everything you do.
I'm so sorry.
But come on.
So, maybe that's the kind of day that person was having.
Maybe so.
What sounds drive people crazy? Why does a hot shower help my headache? Full questions.
There's so many full questions in this.
I noticed that too.
I'm going try to pronounce this.
is Latin.
Oh.
Grederis Firmis Victoria translation.
Oh.
taking little steps toward victory.
oh That is what is on  the uh Greyhounds badge  on Ted Lasso.
So, they have their little emblem for the Greyhounds.

oh Taking little steps toward victory.
If that was easier to say, I would love it.
I know.
uh All creatures pet hospital.

Just FYI.
Nixa, Missouri food court, Branson attractions, Branson Ferris wheel, unique things to do in Branson.
 That's when you were at my wonder what was happening.
Money Markets, uh Springfield Comedy Club Kristen Kay,  British term, wash bag.
Oh, yes.
saw a couple.
Dopp kit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wash bag.
A wash bag.
That's the wrong term, British people.
It's or they call it a sponge bag.
To me, sponge bag makes more sense.
Yeah.
To me, a wash bag is like you've gone swimming and now you throw all the things in there that you need to wash.
Like a laundry bag.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A wash bag.
 I saw that in two different places in the same day.
And I was like, what is going on? We watched hijack with Idris Elba  and he asked the stewardess if everyone got a wash bag.
 Why would you get a wash bag on a flight? International?  It was an international flight.
I mean, depending on how much you pay for your, you know, like some of these airlines.
So, in first class, maybe you get a wash bag.
Yeah.
So, Especially it's a super duper long flight.
It's a very long flight.
Yes.
And you've got to go into the bathroom and you know, have a wash.
I it's like six episodes long flight.
That is a long flight.
And then I've been reading, which I finished a couple days ago, Me Before You.
Oh my gosh.
And she also said wash bag.
She was talking about her wash bag that has lemons on it.
That was a good book.
It's such a good book.
I'm thinking about reading the other two.
Have you read the rest of the series? Did I? I believe I did, but I don't remember.
Okay.
Because  I consume books  at such a rate.
I understand.
 Just consume it.
It's like, it's like I am with food.
I'm just consuming them and not even paying attention.
 Um, and then  Seahawks emblem.
Oh yeah.
I looked that up.
Here are my IMDB searches.

Don't watch Falling for Figaro.
It is not a good movie.
Too late.
 Oh damn it.
 Did you like it? Nope.
 The reason I watched it is because Joanna Lumley was in it.
Yeah.
I love her.
 She was not in it enough.
No.
False advertising.
Man, that was a terrible movie.
It had so many people in it that I thought this is going to be great.
Right.
And it wasn't.
And they did a good job with the trailer.
Yes.
But wah wah.
was so, I even paid to rent that thing.
Oh, mad about it.
I want my $3.
99 back.
Sorry.
All right, go.
Okay.
I have a fairly long list.
Here we go.
I'll try to get through it quickly.
A lot of this is me searching what does this mean on my um medical test results.

I was like, think flat feet will.
My dad had an extra vertebrae.
And so they didn't take him.
Yeah.
I bet they were kicking themselves later.
They were like, you know what, extra vertebrae, not too bad.
He has so many back problems.
So, I don't think it would have been good.
I don't think they would have cared.
Well,  possible.
 Donald Trump poop pants.
 Oh, Jesus.
And Chappell-Rone Grammy outfit.
 Did you see her Grammy outfit? No, I didn't watch the Grammys.
I didn't either.
 Actually, I take that back.
I watched one  category  and it was the new artist category.
And when I knew  none of the artists,  I was like, I'm out.
I'm too old for the Grammys.
Me too.
I'm too old for Chappell-Rone's outfit.
So, do I need to look at her outfit? Yes, you do.
Was she? OK, I'll just look it up.
 Do  you have any listener shout outs?  I'm taking control of this episode now.
No, I don't have any listener shout outs.
