Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcasts
representing show? It's fifteen minute morning show. Are you coming
up a theme song for after the theme song? Yeah?
I feel like we should bring jingles back. I like

(00:24):
I like a good well placed jingle too, because it's
sticks in your head forever for life? Or does everybody
knows the cars for Kids song? If you live in yes,
I know that what I turn it off every time
I hear kids. If you don't live on the East Coast,
you don't know how horrible this commercial is. It is
a local commercial with the jingle that you cannot forget,

(00:46):
and it's like little kids playing fake rock music instruments,
singing along to this jingle. Where the phone number? But
if you have to donate a car, man you're going
to remember I'm always skeptical about the boat. Okay, if
you're at the point of your life when you donate
a boat, well, I just don't. I don't get it,
Like you wouldn't be listening to the radio in a

(01:06):
car if you like, why would you donate a boat?
You can donate boats cars? What else? I think the
thing that that throws me the office they spelled cars
for Kids with a kid. Probably tried to spell it
the other way, but it was probably taken all right. Now,
any time things are spelled differently, there's something fishy about it.
Like when you when you buy something with cheese, right

(01:28):
with cheese, whiz cheese is not spelled like cheese. That
means it's spelled ch e z cheese. It's not legal cheese.
That means they can get away with it by having
fake cheese in the product. I don't. I think this
company has been around long enough where we would know
if it was not on the up and up. They
do great things for kids. You When I was in

(01:49):
college and I did some are stock in this little
town in Minnesota, and they had a store. They're called
the clothes Closet. Now close starts with the sea, and
closet also starts with A. But for some reason they
decided to spell both words with the K. Maybe they couldn't,
maybe they tried to get the same, but it was taken.
I don't think there is another clothes closet. I always

(02:13):
find foods and stores that copy other brand big names
sketchy as hell as well, just like like an auto
parts store that says, I can't think of a name.
So let me just steal a toy store name. So
gears are US, oh you know what us? But how
do they not get sued for that? That's a copyright infringement.

(02:39):
I don't know, but I don't know. They like corn flakes,
so it's like frosted flakes or or sugary flakes, but
the same logo and and everything, but not the same name. Yeah,
I think if it's like you use a similar logo,
that's one thing. The word flakes isn't terribly you know,
you can't really when you're like so similar to it.

(02:59):
In these rosary stores like Shop write and stuff, you know,
they have the big bag of them, they're like the mafia,
and they have fruit loops in there and they look
exactly like food loops, but they're not called foot there
the mafia because you know, exact something. But the problem
is those stores, those supermarkets, they're they're they're the place

(03:19):
where those other big companies know they have to be
in for people to buy them. So what are they
gonna say? No? Well, and sometimes the same company makes
the generic as well as the big ones. CBS will
do that and it'll write same generic as ingredients in
and it writes what it is. Yeah, there's so in
Wisconsin and maybe elsewhere in the Midwest, there's an off

(03:39):
brand brand called Our Family that's like the kind of
store brand, cheaper version. Um, and so we called it
Our Poor Family because it's what we got because we
were the Kirkland. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like store brand.
So if you ever got to the midwester, if you
live in the Midwest, shout out to our Family, like
their sodas all the time, our brand, our Poor Family soda.

(04:00):
Then you bought it like, um, you didn't buy it. It
It didn't come in a box. It came on cardboard trays.
So then you could like customize your cardboard tray with
with whatever flavors you wanted because they were all free standing,
and so we would like and they were on the
bottom shelf at Ron's Castle Food, so we would all
crouch down and like I would take all the cream
sodas and then my dad would take orange, and like

(04:20):
you'd make your own of Our Poor Family. But the
one more, one more brand comes to mind with um
with the psych out. There's a brand of electronics called Kobe.
But they right there, they right their logo like Sony
and it's spelled like Kobe Electronics. They might even be

(04:43):
at a busines. I don't know if they're still around,
but anyway, it was I'm like, if you just grabbed that, like,
oh my god, Sony is on sale this week because
it was like a third of the price of Sony. Yeah.
I think of how many coffee shops have a logo
that's a big, one colored circle with something in the middle. Yeah,
I'm surprised they don't get like because it looks just
like the Starbucks logo, but it's you know, it's like

(05:03):
a dude in the middle of it. Hey, can I
ask a question about the food since we're talking about
food but this is not like a misspelled word food. So, Danielle,
have you heard the breaking news about Oreo? What? Oh yeah,
we talked about it before you did. Yeah, I missed it.
Was I missed it. I said this breaking news. I
was gonna like serve it up to Daniel on a
sliver platter and be like this great hero. So you know,

(05:26):
Daniel is a massive fan of Peeps. So the Purple Peeps,
the Marshmallow they got in with Oreo and now they're
gonna come out for Easter. They're coming out with the Oreo.
It's a it's a purple cream mushroom cream. I'm not
I'm sorrying purple marshmallow cream inside the Oreo. And they
got together. They already had a Peeps flavor before, but

(05:50):
this is like a real Pep. So they're going to
do Easter colors inside the Oreo. But it's gonna be
a cream because we have a a purple marshmallow flavor free
from Peeps inside the Oreo. I tought you be very excited.
I'm very excited and also problem and you hate Peeps too,
would you? And to Bethany, I wanted to say, you
know what, you know what Bethany talking about the cars

(06:11):
for Kids helped me out because I sometimes drive around
and I just I kind of like get mad at
things for no pout reason, and I'm by myself. Now
I realized that I'm really not alone. That looks just
you know, just a couple of miles away. While I'm
going on my way home, Bethany is here in the
cars commercial and she doesn't like it either, And I'm like, man,
how many times do you think like you're the only
one that's angry at something, and then you realize you're

(06:32):
not alone. I've been in cars with people as soon
as like the done, then they immediately turned the volume down.
And Cars for Kids is clearly incredibly successful and they're
doing great work. They take your car or you know,
boat or whatever your car today. Yeah, they help. The
money goes towards children, so it's a great cause. But
at that I agree with with Bethany. He hands down

(06:56):
the day they do great things. It's terrific. And I'm
not you know, I'm not not debating the company. I'm
debating the song is so annoying to me. I can't
take it. But what would you call if you needed
to donate a car today? Have the phone number? Handy? No,
I do it. But you know what they helped me
realize I have a mute button in my car. I

(07:18):
didn't even know mute button, but now I know because
every time it comes on, mute and that's it. Here
is everybody but the kids. The kids ain't said the
kids your car. These are the things. That's why we need,

(07:43):
going back to the beginning of this podcast, that's why
we need a jingle for the fifteen minute morning show
because it's so catchy be cast on. Everyone's gonna turn
it down. Yeah, the Blue Pail song scary and did
you have the little blue pille. We're not candy no,
like on TV on the weekends it was scary and

(08:04):
not candy. Don't eat us even though we look so
fine and dandy, and it was it was like in
your head always, and it was this little blue pill
that would come on. It would tell kids not to
do drugs. We have it. It was on, it was
on ABC. It was like in between commercials Saturday morning
cartoons before they would they have this thing called a bumper,

(08:25):
which takes you to commercial. They would play these little
in between things before the commercial came on. There was
one while you're looking for that. There was one when
I grew up. They were just just ending the time
before they started telling kids to eat healthy and so
they had a bumper that came on and was like,
oh is that it? Sorry? Sorry, you can play after

(08:46):
and they were they had a bumper like there was
this kid coming home and it was like, here's how
to create your own after school snack. And it was
these cookies that flew around the kitchen and then the
cookies landed on the table, A dollop of ice cream
landed on the cookie, and then another hookie landed on
top of it, and then sprinkles got dropped onto delicious.
It was magic, and then the kids ate it because

(09:06):
that was a good after school snack. That was like,
that was like two years before they were like, we
should probably teach kids to eat carrots are better. Yeah,
but hold on, this is it. It's from the eighties.
Hold on, when I got something, why are we doing
out of them? And think we were avy mad because

(09:31):
we're cheerious, larious, So why are the eighties like a

(09:53):
hundred years ago? And then they go, we're not candy,
don't eat us? But how delicious is diamond tapped? Though?
I mean so good? You know nowadays you have to
get for certain things like that. You actually have to
show them your license and they have to write your
name down. Because kids were making you should remake that

(10:14):
for the tide pods today. They really should be. They
kind of look like the tide Pods a little blue parts.
I still don't think kids are I think it's a
big conspiracy. Here's my conspiracy on tide pods. We're talking
about tie pods now for three weeks. You think it
was you think tide put us out there. I think
it was the way for them to put their non
disclosure out there. These are harmful, but I don't believe

(10:37):
how trendy that thing has become out I tell you what,
how many how much? Was saying to me off the
air this morning, How the sales of tide pods are
sky high right now? I have not I've not seen.
I've heard about people dying from them or getting sick,
but you really haven't read anything about him I had.
I said to the kids when they came home from school,
I go, we really don't even need to have this conversation, right,

(10:58):
we don't put the charge in our outs. And then
my son Spencer, who's twelve, proceeded to tell me, oh,
but in science class today, we mixed all these chemicals
and one of our friends ate it and drank them.
There's always one friend, and the ambulance had to come
and take him away, And I said, well was he
But he was in school the next day, so I
guess they pumped his stomach or something. Funny meme that

(11:20):
said tide pods and got nothing on downy dipping dots
because he has those little pellets that look like dipping dots.
I think our friends Savannah posted on I think it
was Savannah posted on Twitter was like the O G
tide pod and it was a picture of cilantro oh
goodness because tastes like soap and like. Another meme was like, hey, kids,
bet you didn't know that the undercarriage of your car

(11:41):
shoots chocolate fudge, like like oil pouring out of the
bottom of a car and someone's mouth underneath it. Do
you would think it's just like you would? I could
get it if it was little kids, like two or
three years old looking at it, your parents didn't put
it away properly and eating it when you are older
and you know better, challenging each other to eat poison

(12:04):
is just stupid. Yeah, but again, kids brains don't fully
develop until the early Scott should work on that. The
interviewed a kid whose video was on YouTube eating tide pods,
and he said the reason why he did it was
to get followers on YouTube to get that's important. I
could see right now. Kids toy that they really love
is called the squishy and they I mean, I can't

(12:28):
believe they spend for these, but they look so delicious
that I would like to eat a squshy. I smell
the smelly squishy My friend's kid wanted them for Christmas,
so I ordered a bunch. I put them in the
in the garage with the Christmas present was and walk
in the garage. I'm like, it smells like vomit in here.
All of the squishies either smelled like throw all together.

(12:53):
It was like the Strawberry shortcake dolls. Won't you put
them all in a room? They didn't smell remind me
of something I used to want to eat eatum erasers.
They had these colorful erasers like like with you know
that looked like cheeseburgers and not dogs. Have those right?
They look so good and play though McDonald's restaurant where

(13:16):
you'd make fries and burgers. I would want to eat
it won't kill you. I don't think it's that's edible,
you know, it's funny. My niece, my very young niece,
had to have all of her like plastic and rubber
figurines from various games, like her shopkins and stuff all
taken away because she has she likes to chew on

(13:37):
everything and so we cannot give her anything that looks
like it wants to be chewed on. So I joke
whenever I'm around her, I choke like trigger warning, rubber
likes be around it. She chew on it are tiny
choking hah. There's a cup of sand. Yes, she will
chew on and they yeah, yeah, someone told me it

(14:01):
was what did you say it? I think it is
everywhere it is called. You're just trying to be like, no,
it's that it's different colors. Yeah, it's supposed to not
make a mess in your house, right, We got that
for Christmas. I returned that real fast and fete, saying
