Speaker 1 (00:12):
So much? Did you know that apples in the supermarket
can be as much as a year old? Apples in
the supermarket can be as much as one year old.
So farmers will pick the apples in the fall, cover
them in wax, hot air, dry them, and then put
them in cold storage, which would keep them edible and

(00:34):
ready to sell for anywhere from six to twelve months.
So it's possible that the apple that you see in
the grocery store is as much as a year old. Yeah, huh,
and then we get it and then it goes bad
in like three days, right, right? Yeah, how does that work? Right?
Someone sent me a video my friend Mike, the other day,
and it was this is what It's like to be married,

(00:56):
And it was a man and a woman in front
of like the apple section of the grocery store, and
he would pick up an apple from the big pile
and hand it to her and she would look at
it and then put it back because she wouldn't didn't
want that one, And then he would, well she wasn't looking,
take one out of the bag that she'd already selected,
hand it to her. She'd look at it and then
put it back, because because if it came from him,
it wasn't right, even if she'd already picked it. Sounds fun.
