Speaker 1 (00:00):
The fresh shell. This is what's trying.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
You've made a good point about the sandwich, but she'd
have to disagree a little bit. A text it says,
it's not because your brain already consumed it's because, rather,
the reason that sandwiches taste better if someone else makes them,
it's because your brain already consumed each ingredient that you
placed on the sandwich while making it, so when it's
time to eat, you're no longer is satisfied. What I

(00:22):
would argue is that my brain didn't consume it. I
consumed it because if I'm making a sandwich and it's like, ooh,
piece of turkey for me, my mouth, even though the
sandwich is for me, ooh piece of turkey.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Here, a couple on the sandwich. Oh, another one for me,
A couple more on the sandwich. Ooh the cheese, ooh,
cheese for me. I have to eat while I'm prying,
exactly so bizarre.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I'm like, you're about to eat, and you're eating as
you're making food to eat, exactly so then it's almost
But by the time I get the sandwich, it's my
second sandwich, and I'm not as hungry for it anymore.
So I think that is really what happens. So someone
makes me the sandwich, then I guess I you know.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I anticipate exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
And there's something about like if a friend or you know,
family member makes it for you, it's like made with
love for something.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
You know. Oh, it just tastes better. I agree.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
I can't explain it. Trending stories headlines to start your Wednesday.
And I love how I have to look at the
thing every time. I have to look to see what
day it is. For some reason, I have no concept
of time or day these days. Yeah, I don't know
what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
This is.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, I guess we're in February now, but January could
have been eighty days. As far as I was concerned,
felt like it. It certainly did Paulina. The proceeds from
the All Star Fire eight benefit shows last month are
expected to bring in more than one hundred million dollars.
The team behind last week's jewel shows at the Intu
A Dome in LA and the Kia Forum so that
the proceeds raised by the shows will help support the

(01:42):
LA region's immediate needs and long term recovery from a
series of wind whipped wildfires.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
That's hard to say.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I saw Spencer Pratt on one of the social media
platforms yesterday talking about how he got a quote to
rebuild his home twenty five hundred square feet two point
five million dollars. And that's just the house, that's not
anything inside of the house. And of course their entire
house burned down, so they have to refurnish this twenty
five hundred square foot hose. So you have to ask yourself.

(02:09):
I mean, I know it's California and everything's more expensive,
but I guess that isn't taking into consideration a lot
of what's going on with tariffs and wood and all
kinds of other stuff. So I mean, you know, do
you He said in an interview that we had with
him a couple weeks ago, that he wanted to rebuild
there because he's from there. But for two point five
million dollars for you know, that size of a house,
you probably have to ask yourself if it's worth it.

(02:30):
And he doesn't know for sure if insurance is covering
it because they didn't cover the house. They did cover
his office, but he had part of the office at
the house. I guess he had like, you know, storage there.
I don't know but this is a problem that's going
to be, you know, multiplied times. However, many people lost
their homes and you have to ask the question, do
you really do you want to move back there for
that price? You know, how much is being at home

(02:53):
or how much is being near to where you were
before the devastation. How much is that worth to you?
I mean two point five million dollars for them, there's
a lot of money, yeah, plus however much it costs
to put furniture inside of there. But the Grammy weekend
also raked in millions for charity. They're talking about somewhere
around twenty four million dollars and that's from the Recording

(03:13):
Academy's charity focused partner, Music Cares, So that's going to
wildfire relief as well.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Waffle House, he's.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Adding a fifty cent surcharge on any egg based menu item.
The charge was announced on Monday. It affects two thousand
locations in the US, hopefully temporarily. The company said, well,
we hope that these price fluctuations will be short lived.
We can't predict how long the shortage will last. At
two egg Breakfast with toast in his side listed at
seven to seventy five on Tuesday. I guess I don't

(03:43):
know if that's plus a dollar or what. But yeah,
egg prices, man, egg prices.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I love eggs, So this is really devastating to me. Yeah,
I can't eat his money. You're really upset about the
bird flu. Well, yeah, that actually rut a lot of
things for me this year, the bird flu, didn't it? Did?
The bird flu ruined many things for you this year?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Like my omelets in the morning. Oh well that's one
thing by many of omelets. Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
The Scottish government wants everyone to know that it does
not plan to ban cats. Okay, this was I guess
an issue.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I mean people worried about TikTok and eggs, but cats
and Scottish government. Yeah. The First Minister, John Sweeney Swiney,
was forced to issue the statement after a report by
independent experts Brandon felines is a threat to Scotland's wildlife
and suggested containment measures be considered to reduce the damage.
They said that there are seven hundred million birds killed

(04:35):
by cats every year in the UK.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's a lot of birds.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Cats killed seven hundred million birds every year in the UK.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Right, what it is meeting up like the birds is landing,
like come get me.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
There's there are seven hundred million birds that can be dead,
and then there are that many birds left.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Right be replenished with another's right million. Oh my god, Right,
someone messed up the mat right.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Swinny, who had Scotland's semi auton as Edinburgh based government,
spoke to journalists to defend the administration pro fee line credentials.
Let me just clear this up. The government is not
going to be banning cats or restricting cats. We have
no intention of doing that. We would not be doing them.
And here's another one for you. And of course we
come right back to the United States for ridiculousness. In politics,

(05:18):
a Minnesota senator is proposing reversing a law put into
effect last year that banned the consumption of beavers in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah. Why.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Under state law, homeowners are allowed to trap or kill
beavers that are causing damage to their property. They're not
allowed to poison the animals, and they must notify a
conservation officer if they kill a beaver. Eating nuisance beaver's
was legal until the law was changed in twenty twenty
four as part of the Environment.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Environment Bill.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
There The change was questioned by other senators who don't
understand it, as well as this guy. Under a proposed
bill last week, one senator is proposing to remove a
line from the statute that says human consumption of a
retained beaver, I guess is barred.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
So I don't know if they're delicious.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, you know, this is not what I meant when
I said we needed some more new meat.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
You know, right, the beavers alone. Have you been to Minnesota?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
No, no, I had, Well.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
You could be like our fun fact yesterday, Charles Darwin
who says that there wasn't an animal he didn't try.
I don't know what is the most obscure animal that
you've tried, Kiki?

Speaker 1 (06:20):
A deer on accident? How did you accidentally eat a deer?

Speaker 3 (06:23):
My grandfather cooked it and told me it was chicken.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. My dad used to do that growing
up too. He'd go hunting, he's a hunter guy. And
then he come home, he come home or whatever he
came home with and you know, grounded up whatever, and
it was in the freezer, and I know it was
in everything ye venison or what I know. And they
said it was they said it was beef. You know,
A lied to me of course because yeah, I don't
know anyway.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Beaver.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
I'm not down with the beavers, you know, leave the
beavers alone. Okay, Yeah, the beaver's and the beaber the beavers,
the beavers.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
And the beavers.

Speaker 2 (06:58):

Seven hundred million birds r ip. I don't know what else, like,
