it's not an option. You know what your option is.
You know what your option is.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Okay, ma'am, Classic American? Classic American grit? No, grits is

enough butter and salt for grits. But I'm sorry, that's

Speaker 3 (07:56):

Speaker 1 (07:57):

Speaker 1 (08:11):
No? Okay, no, no, no, that's not that's not a
classic American breakfast. And also it's one thing. It's one thing. Yeah,
we were naming pieces of the meal the classic American breakfast.
I have the the the and listen. They make me sick,
but I love them. That that good creaminess of the egg,
(08:35):
a little bit of the texture of the toast, a
little bit of butter on that. Absolutely, I have the
protein feeling. I'm getting my meat and it is salty
af juice. I'm gating healthy milk does a body good.
It made me strong. Coffee. You betcha, you bet youa.
(08:59):
That's a America.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
I see one more here. If you didn't, if he
didn't count hot cereal, the you're not gonna count cold cereal.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
That's not a meal. I love it, don't get me wrong.
Don't get me wrong. I love it. I love it.
But you tell me you're going out and you're sitting down,
You're like, we're going for breakfast. We're gonna have a
classic American breakfast, classic American gym. You're up, just bowl
of milk and cereal.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Some people have like raisin bran on the side of
everything else.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
You can listen, Oh, like, I can name you a
thousand sides. Yes, I also sometimes have a biscuit on
the steakon and sausages aside. No, it's part of the
classic American breakfast. Okay, by the way. People used to
eat that every single day. Every day they would get up,
they would eat I know, Colin eats eggs every single day,
(09:52):
I think, yeah, except he was doing some liver cleans
or something like that. I don't know, so he had
some wrong with his vagina.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Don't ask him the no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
But but people would get up and have eggs for
breakfast every day with a little bit of bacon. Write
some toast. Fantastic. Who doesn't want.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
That from Asian bandit?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh? Here we go kimchi.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
No, no, they're actually siding with you.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
The fruit is or can also be the jelly or
jam for the toast.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's a great call right there. That's a great call
that that I'll you know what, because it comes in
the little container on the side and you dig through
the one that says marmalade, apricott, apricott that I either
want strawberry or I want grape. That's it. And I
don't want chunks of riine.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Now, okay, I'm also I'm not I'm not even gonna
read the one that just came in.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
No, please, can I know what it is? Just just
to trigger me.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
It's a type of toast.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Oh, pumper nickel, get at? Oh, whole grain?
Speaker 5 (11:02):
No, no, no, what French?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh love French toast. But it's not a classic American meal. Sorry,
it's not a classic American breakfast. I also eat French
toast different than most people. I like one thing on
French toast, salt done. I don't need syrup, I don't
need all that other fancy. I like salt on French toast. Sorry,
(11:28):
we were poor.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
What is your aim in all this? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Oh, the classic American breakfast is dead.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Well it's a time thing too. Who has time to
like make eggs and bacon and toast if you're trying
to rush out in the morning and get the kids
off to school.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And number one reason cooking is time consuming exactly. Number
two people just want convenience.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yes, oh, oh, you mean I can eat a bar
in my car while I'm driving. That's what I'm aiming.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Not a classic American breakfast.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, but at least it gives you some food.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
But is this though, why and you hate it? And
and maybe why I think I find that we're doing
it more often you breakfast at all? No, no, no, I
was going to say that we do breakfast for dinner.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Oh but you know what is that?
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Has that become more popular because people have a little
more time to enjoy all those classic tastes.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I don't think so, but for now on I'm willing
to support it.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
So you're you're not gonna hate on me when I
tell you what.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I had, I'm not. I'm not as long as it's
a classic American breakfast. If you tell me you had
crepes and grits, don't care.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
We do usually feature a lot of mango.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I love mango.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Oh, mango juice.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
No, that sliced mango are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
It's great, it's not classic and it ain't American. Maybe
that maybe that is, Maybe that is why it's become
a little more popular, because people still love it, they said.
Classic American breakfast gets eaten maybe maybe once a week
on the weekend bing gum, and very rarely at home.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
But it's also why sometimes you'll be in a diner
and they'll have so many options now and you just
want the basics.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, right, And what do they call it classic?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Yeah, because you're not having it as much as you
used to.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Uh, I don't need Rudy tooty, fresh and fruity. Nope,
too over easy and it's gonna make me sick.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Do health concerns plant to it a little bit?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, Fewer people are drinking cow's milk whatever.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
That's the only reason. What about all the other stuff
on the plate? People are more health conscious?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh, Jay is a big glass of sugar.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
It's juice, it's sugar.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
It's awesome. Yeah, it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
How about like bacon, sausage, and eggs. They're all they
can be a problem for.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You, right, they could also be good for you. They
can be good for you. Line six, Hi, Elliet in
the morning. Hello, Hello, yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 3 (14:03):
This is nearly from Reston. Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
They also say hold on one second, resting. They also
say pricing has gone way up, so that is also hurt.
That is also hurt. So you're eating it less and
everybody just it's once a week. I'll have it for
brunch and that'll be it anyway, Yes, yes, missus, Reston.
What can I do for you? Okay?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
My husband and I go down to the outer Banks
and we stop at the border station right at the
line of Virginia North Carolina, stopping there to get breakfast
sandwich or something, and I had asked, do you have
rye bread? And the woman said, yes, we do, and
all of a sudden it from the back of the
kitchen we hear rab bread. We don't have no rye bread.
(14:44):
And my husband walked away and totally ignored me.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
By the way, that's not what is. Where are you
supposed to stop on the way to the outer banks
to eat? Where biscuits important? Thank you? That is your stop?
Yeah no, but there are a lot of places you're
not getting rye bread. You may as well order a
bagel at that point. All right, very good, very good,
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
You briefly brought up skipping breakfast at more and more
people are skipping breakfast, Like what you have numbers for that?
What percentage of people don't eat breakfast?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
You know what? I don't. I don't. I don't know
what that number is.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
And I mean any form of breakfast like a bar.
Like Diane said, are there people that just don't eat
anything into lunch?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
More and more people are are are eating.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Nothing like I'm a coffee in the morning.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
What's the most important meal of the day? Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
They say breakfast. No, is that still what.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Is the most important? Where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I don't know that that's an ancient saying?
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Is it a marketing thing? Probably? But Kellogg's is it ancient?
So it could be Confucius.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
In nineteen twenty. In the nineteen twenties, while working on
behalf of b e Nut to boost sagging bacon sales,
Edward Burnez, who is considered the father of public relations,
launched a campaign declaring a hearty meal for breakfast was
the best because it's the most important meal of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And that was nineteen twenty. And people still say that.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Even the concept of breakfast. And they go on to
also say, and there was a nineteen seventeen marketing campaign
from Kellogg's to get people to eat more cereal in
the morning. It's all been a marketing campaign, so people
don't buy into it anymore. By the way, eggs are
still number one for breakfast now, Like that's what people
(16:41):
say their favorite thing for breakfast is, which is fine,
which is great?
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Just the whites, the.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
It's the good cholosteral note the bed. But I have
all that mango that is off say, just enjoy eating.
Jesus Christ, we're all gonna die.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
I do enjoy it. It's just not it's not your breakfast. No,
but you can't.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
It's not the classic American breakfast.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Can't make comments anymore? Is we're carving out time to
prepare it?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Okay, but I still want people to eat the classic
American breakfast. Avocado toast ain't breakfast.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I didn't argue that, but a lot.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Of people have that, and that's not. Of course you
do because they drizzle it in microgreens. You know what
I've never had on my eggs? Bacon, toast, juice, milk
and coffee, microgreens and a balsamic drizzle. Where am I going?
Speaker 5 (17:36):
What on an omelet? What about omelet?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know what? It ain't classic. But I'll take it.
I'll accept it.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
A bunch of people set up.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, I'll accept omelet, but I but there's a caveat
with that. What are you putting in it? Is it bacon,
egg and cheese? Totally fine? Is it spinach with goat
cheese and in elfalfas?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
What's wrong with a ve?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Classic mushrooms, tomatoes, green pepper, onion, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
That's okay, I'll give you that I don't like tomatoes
in there because the tomatoes well not just no, but
it makes the eggs real wet. I like that line.
Four tuna melts now, listen, Tuna melts are great.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
For breakfast, for breakfast, tunamel for breakfast is awesome. That
was a dinner.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Tuna melt for breakfast is great. Is it classic? No?
But that is a good breakfast. That. That's a that.
That's like getting waffles.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Do change up when you brush your teeth that morning.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
No, always you do it before, you don't want to
do it after and kill that good tune, the taste
