I'm like, yeah, there's all different like kinds here.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, it is overwhelming. There's a lot of choices. Be
a Natty three morning show. It's the craziest thing you
ever came back with from the store that wasn't on
the list.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
We all either have been that person or know that
person that no matter what you send them to the
store for, they're gonna come back with either not that
at all, or that and something completely different. And I
know that from experience. It's not my wife, it's me.
(04:49):
It's one hundred percent me. A thousand percent me. I
just I don't know. I don't I can't explain it.
I can't explain why. But whenever we have a Westco
by our house, maybe it's impulsive. Maybe I'm impulsive.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
That's what I was just gonna say. Impulse purchases. Yeah,
we all do it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
But when I go to Westco, because it's literally the
one in Hudsonville, it's around the corner from my house,
I love, like I grew up on Westco. So I
love the coffee, I love the hot coco. The deli
right there is so good. They have this, and I
didn't see it until I went to the one and
by my house. They have this ridiculously large bag of
popcorn and Wesco popcorn is a really good too. But
(05:28):
it's so big that it's the size that I measured it.

half of my children. It's huge. It's absolutely huge, the
size of Milo and half of Sebastian.
