Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gam Nation. You know how you and I
made our way through our earlier years right up until
this year, probably without ever drinking a sip of water. Well,
gen z seems can't leave the house without carrying around
an enormous receptacle that they have to drink at every
minute of the day.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's a size of a medium fire extinguisher.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
That's right. This is the There's been a couple of
combinations of them, the Frank Green and now we have
the Stanley Cup. But the Stanley Cup has a built
in straw with it. This is a hugely successful one.
Stanley has sold ten million funches as their own since
two thousand.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Man, we're going to get on the ground floor of that.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, be careful because gen Zas are saying it's making
their lips get less scared. They'll get wrinkles because of
the nature of the fact it's a combination of a
thermous flask and a sippy cup and having that built
in straw. You may as well just be smoking cigarettes
because you're going to get these lines.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
How do they go with the vaping?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well, this is the thing a lot of people, the well,
the influencers aren't doing that because they're trying to get
rid of those bad behaviors, it'll be bad for their
aging faces. So they turn their backs on smoking, on drinking,
other bad behaviors. But they're drinking out of these cups
with built in straws so that so that they don't
get wrinkles. Someone has come up with what has other

(01:23):
influences have called possibly the best anti aging invention ever.
I'll show you a picture. It's this sideways straw looks ridiculous,
makes it look like you're actually on an incubator. It
looks like are sucking oxygen rather than having you know,
like those lines that go under your nose when you're
sucking oxygen the oxygen. This is one that has it's

(01:44):
a straw that bends sideways and has a hole in
the top so you suck through that. You know, it
looks like it's an attachment that should be in a
fish tank. Obviously, experts are saying, well, this is a
bit ridiculous because over a lifetime talking, laughing, expressing yourself,
that's what's going to give you wrinkles as well. So
maybe you should be giving up laughing and listen to

(02:04):
this show because that's a good start.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh that's a bit. But this is known as yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
This is known as the anti wrinkle straw. It's had
over six hundred million views on TikTok and people are saying,
get onto it so you don't get wrinkling.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
We're going to come up with an idea we need.
You're a smart person. I'm a smart person. We've got
to come up with something. You know, I told you
my story about boost Juice all those years ago.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
You can come up with boost.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
No, there was an opportunity for me to get into
the ground floor of Boost Juice. And at the time
they said, we just need thirty grand to get this,
just get it going. I said, now I'm buying this
Harley Davidson instead. Boost Juice is worth billions of dollars.
I've still got the same Harley Davis.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Well, maybe I was going into business with you.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
I said at the time, who's going to drink juice?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Remember I was there at the invention of the telephone.
I said, this will never catch on.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Who's going to use that? We got to come up
with an idea.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Well, look, this one's gone. I was going to think
of this the slightly skew with anti wrinkled drinking straw
