Speaker 4 (02:28):
Kdi based Igloo Company has recalled more than a million
ninety court rolling coolers due to a handle hazard that
has resulted in fingertip injuries, including amputations. According to a
notice from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recalled
Igloo ninety court flipping toe rolling coolers have a toe
(02:52):
handle that can pinch users' fingertips against the product, posing
potential amputation and other crushing risks.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
How many those people you think were drunk when they
did that?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
For more, Igloo has received twelve injury reports in the
US the CPSC reports, which note which include fingertip amputations,
bone fractures and lacerations. Consumers in possession of the coolers
are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Igloo
(03:28):
for a free replacement handled. The recalled coolers were sold
at major retailers like Costcode, Target, Dix, and Amazon between
twenty nineteen and January twenty twenty five for between eighty
and one hundred and forty bucks. About one point six
million were purchased in the US, in addition to forty
(03:51):
seven thousand in Canada and another twenty three thousand in Mexico.
In a statement, Igloo said that it was recalling those
rolling coolers and providing free replacement handles quote with consumer
safety as our top priority. The company added that quote
through rigorous testing and proactive steps, we are constantly improving
(04:12):
our products to meet the highest safety standards. So, first
of all, I am surprised how many people, I'm sorry,
I am surprised how many coolers, tumblers, ice chests, whatever
(04:34):
you want to call them, are sold.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You go to the store. Now, if you go to Academy.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
For instance, or any outdoors store, that area has just
it's like a creep that area has crept out used
to it would be camping was a big one. I
don't think people camp anymore. I think they just buy
an ice chest and walk around an ice chest, every
(05:02):
kind of ice chest. If you go to Academy they have.
They're an entire yetty store, and I don't I'm curious
to know the mindset behind this. I would love to talk.
You know, some people think that just because of business
does something. You know, we don't know what they know.
They're so brilliant, And sometimes that's true, or sometimes some
(05:27):
space could be a loss leader. When Apple opened in
New York, they wanted to create the most special retail
store that had ever been built. And it was an
all glass It's like those Carvana deals.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
It was all glass.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And then you went down into the store and that
was Steve Jobs's baby, who was incredibly proud of that
and won all sorts of awards, and the industry talked
about it, and the whole deal. Well, as I said,
that was lost leader. That was two buck chuck at
Trader Joe's. They weren't going to make any money at
that store. That store was going to get you to
(06:09):
talk about them because you were visiting New York and
then you'd go back to Beaumont and you'd buy your iPhone,
and that was the whole point of that. But yet
he has a store on Westheimer in Highland Village that
is a standalone retail store, and I've walked in just
to study are they make Are they selling enough product
(06:30):
at this store to pay the rent and full time
employees because they're a manufacturer, and I don't believe they are.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I do not believe they are.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I'm not saying they're losing their ass, but I think
if you looked at the ledger, I don't think that
one's in the positive.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
My guess is.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
That that is a way to control product, enroll new
products out, and that is a way to get to
a higher end consumer because high On Village is, you know,
and and that's where you're going to get people coming
in to shop that may not live in that area
but do have money.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I don't know, but the only.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Way that store makes money if it doesn't sell more
products than.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It costs to operate the store.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
The only way itself it makes money for the overall
company is if by building the brand or improving the
image of the brand.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Because YETI is the un Igloo.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
When I was growing up We had one and one
only little ice chest and it was my dad being diabetic,
he always had to have his insulin refrigerated. So wherever
we went we had a little red and white Iglu cooler.
And the technology of that Iglu cooler is not designed
(07:50):
to lock in the way the YETI does. Let's say
you don't have a rubber gasket that you know, close it.
It slid over it and slid back. There's a little
slough in there, you know, there's a little space in there.
And it said DuPont uh Sabine River DuPont for one
thousand hours of you know that. Their whole thing is
they didn't want them to have injuries. So if they'd
(08:11):
get a thousand hours of no injury, you get, you'd
get X number of points. And that was our ice chest.
And you know what my dad uses as his ice
chest to this day, that ice chest. We didn't buy
a new ice chest every other day.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
With them, Michael Berry, it's not your you know the father.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
I don't think Igloo has done a good job in
the Houston market at making themselves the local company, do you.
I didn't know they were a Houston company when I
first came here.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I had no idea. In fact, I think.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Because Igloos or Eskimos, I thought that Igloo was a
Japanese company.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I just assumed that.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
And I remember whenever it was the first time I
hopped in a car to heead to Austin. There I
was on it and I looked over and I said, oh,
Iggloo's got a distribution plan.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
That's I didn't. I had no idea.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
They have never in my opinion, they have not owned
being a Houston company and being a.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I say Houston.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Obviously it's Katie, But I don't think this region. I
don't think they've built a loyalty out of this region.
And that's a shame because you think about how many
it's got to be one of the biggest markets for
coolers in the country, coolers and cooler products, and you've
got the opportunity, you've got a huge upside. YETI came
(09:47):
out of nowhere with extremely expensive products. They are so
incredibly expensive and like the YETI ice chest in my opinion,
and Beaver Applin sent me one full of Bucki's fun
(10:09):
stuff after we had him on one time. He said, hey,
I really enjoyed that everybody's talking about. So he sent
this and so it arrived. I gave it to my
dad because my dad had never owned one. It was
my dad and my brother because my brother was taking
my dad out hunting and my brother didn't have one,
and I knew they would really enjoy that. But the
problem with the darn thing is the walls are reinforced,
so it's very heavy, and there are no wheels on it.
(10:31):
And call me lazy. I like wheels on my ice chest.
I see no purpose. And all the fishermen, well, Michael,
that's so it doesn't slide on the boat. I'm not
taking it out on the boat. And by the way,
couldn't we lock the wheels when it was on the boat.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It just doesn't. One person can't carry a big, yetty
ice chest. They can't. You can't.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
It's not if it's loaded down. And the other thing
that I don't understand, and I will admit this. You
know you're better than me. People go mash talk. Keeps
out cold for a week. I've literally never needed my
stuff kept cold for a week. In fact, I've never
(11:16):
needed my stuff kept cold till tomorrow morning. I have
through the course of my life if we have a party,
I have an open tub and I fill it with ice,
and just before I fill it with ice, and then
just as everyone comes, I fill it again over the
top of that and you pull your long neck out
(11:37):
there and you drink your beer. And by the next
morning you wake up and go, oh, what's the damage
out here? Because you don't remember any of it, and
you've got a tub full of water and whatever's left.
If my friends, there's.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Rarely anything left. But anyway, are you big camper?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Ramon?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I got a bunch of emails from friends that are campers.
I got friend, I got one couple. They are so
hardcore campers. They got a roof top ten.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You know. Morgan Weber used to do that. I never understood.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
He take pictures and all Instagrammable. He's got all the
graphics and I mean all the the you know, the
lighting and all that. He posts these pictures. And one
day I went over to visit him and.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
He was putting.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
He was working on his tent up above his truck
and they were going to Wyoming and they were going
to camp, and he had a tent up a bit,
so you crawl up above your vehicle and you're in
a tent up above your vehicle. These friends of mine said,
we're really enjoying our rooftop tent. They went for a
week for a couple of days of a week to
(12:34):
the place where they bought it in San Anton to
learn how to put the thing on.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It's that complicated.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
And they said, this weekend we purchased an annex to
our tent, which is basically an outdoor living room, so
that is down beside the truck and then it attaches
on to the rooftop thing the guests to keep the
creepy Crawley's off of you. We watched campers online via
YouTube yesterday. We didn't even watch Team just YouTube. This
(13:02):
is my favorite called Silent Family. See what happens is
the campers are watching other campers who are advanced campers,
and they're going, oh my god, they got a call
them and lantern nit like they're just just geeking.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Out on it. And all I'm thinking is.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
I've got a house with air conditioning, my wife cooking food,
a TV with every movie you know in sense the
History of mankind, and I'm pretty lazy. You're going to
a lot of effort to go out into nature.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
A lot.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Anyone ever really been a happy camper? Because whenever we
use that term, we're being sarcastic. He is not a
happy camper. Why don't we just call him a camper?
He's miserable, you know, he's a happy camper. The guy
leaving the camp site, he's the happiest camper.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
He gets to take a shower.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Ruined camping for me, to be fair, it is beautiful
during the day, you know, but at night you're always like, well,
I got a day.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
There's monsters out there.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I see these.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
I probably wouldn't be so scared if I wasn't sleeping
in a bag. Hey, let's prepackage ourselves for the serial killer.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
I can't get away, can you? I can hop for
a little, but I'm dead. Mate. You ever have to
go to the bathroom in the middle of the ninth
you always let your friend's knife. Now on, ye, anyone
want to come and get killed with me or you
want to get killed looking for me? We're all dead.
It's not just serial killers. There's bears out there. Last
(14:42):
time I went, I got this pamphlet that said, up
a bear approaches, you're supposed to play dead. Really We're
gonna rely on my acting skills.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Play dead?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Who came up with that? Maybe the bears? Play dead?
Cover yourself and honey, climb on a large white plate.
Don't try to run away from us. I mean the bears.
How does that even work? There's a bear. I hope
the bear thinks we die standing up, as if bears
have some ethical code. I don't mess with dead bodies.
(15:15):
I'm a bear, not an animal. There was the worst
impression of a bear ever.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Played dead.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
I'm not saying that strategy didn't work once. But when
they find a body that's been mauled by a bear,
how do they know that guy wasn't playing dead? Maybe
he was the best at it and the bear was like,
great performance. But I'm starving and he looks like a burrito.
Why are we even camping where there's wild animals? That
(15:46):
wouldn't be a selling point for anything else. Oh, it's
a beautiful golf course. Plus around the ninth hole there's
a pack of wolves. They start running at you. Just
play through.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Remo. Hell has it been since you slept us leaving back?
How long would you huh? Been a minute?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I can remember as a kid, like we would beg
my mom to let us just go outside, and
