Speaker 1 (00:00):
Back in the day, Back in the day, WNIC is
brought to you today by Oh, it could be anybody,
but today it.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Specifically brought to you by Oh bright Heid Dental.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
You gonna say that.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
All right? In nineteen thirteen, the first drive up gasoline
station opens. It was located in Pittsburgh. Where are you
getting gas before? That? Was it delivered? Wait? What was
the year? Nineteen thirteen? The first drive up gasoline station?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Okay, yeah, right, maybe like they put it in for you.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, I guess yeah, because it coming to that point
if you weren't driving in well, there wasn't cars.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Much before that, right, So okay.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Then in nineteen thirteen, same year, Ford Motor Company institutes
the world's first moving assembly line for that Ford Model
T So that was everything. It sounds like nineteen thirteen was.
It was a booming year.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
I could be wrong, but I think there's a market
for and back full service gas stations.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
I'd use it, charge me more.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I think you're gonna say the Model tack the Model
t fact.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
My perview, I can't really speak to that, but.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Yeah, no, I think that if if they brought that
the full service in specific areas, they could thrive.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Let me ask you guys, Q, because you're both here.
Well you were in Chicago, Alison, But I mean you
hear your whole life. Like where I grew up in
New Jersey, you weren't allowed to pump. I don't think
you can still you can't pump your own gas. Like
your first job in New Jersey is being the person
that pumps the gas. They're usually teenagers and you have
to go hall take twenty of regular. You hand the
guy twenty and he fills the tank up. It wasn't

(01:36):
until I moved here that I ever pumped my own gas. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
See, that would make me feel bad.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
That was your job. You weren't allowed to touch it.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
I know it well.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
I would just like to say it will not make
me feel bad if we bring it back and give
people jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Look, I'm trying to put people back to work, right.
You check my oil too, because they never know what's
going on there. Maybe at sheets when they open, which,
by the way, any day fast. It is moving fast.
You saw any day though?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Is there a structure the building's done?

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Is the sign up not yet? Okay?

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Well either way, maybe they can be full service for you.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I'll talk to them when I'm there always?

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Did I tell you? When I was in Houston a
couple of weeks ago, I went to BUCkies.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Oh no, I liked BUCkies.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Did you kind of like freak out with all the
food or did you didn't yourself?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
It didn't seem as abundant as I thought it was
going to be.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Okay, that gas station up in Mackinaw or wherever we
were driving through seemed pretty crazy to me.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Do you remember coming back from Mecan Island whatever that was?

Speaker 5 (02:39):
That was? That was like the town's grocery stores.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Slash gas station. Well, I didn't look at it that way.
I looked at it as a gas station with Wow,
can I grocery shop here?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
All?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I remember it was so cold that it was so
cold I felt my life was splashing before me. I
thought I was going to die of freezing. The death
hypothermia is what I was looking for it. Thank you.
In nineteen fifty three, Hugh Hefner publishes the first issue
of Playboy magazine, featuring Marilyn Monroe as the magazine's first centerfold.
One of my auction houses sent me a catalog. I

(03:12):
threw it out I shouldn't. Maybe it would have been worse.
They sent me a catalog of all the things they're
auctioning off, and one or ones like all these pictures
of Marilyn Monroe. But the catalog has like examples of
the pictures of this photo shoot where she is neked
in most of it, but she had a huge scar
on her stomach, like I think she had her appendix out.

(03:33):
I don't know, I've never seen it. I wonder if
they airbrushed it in every picture.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Must have, because I've never seen.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
It before, and they're in every one of these pictures.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
It was a result of gallbladder surgery, the water surgery. Okay,
it wasn't laparoscopic. Back in the day, no Laprescott No.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Nineteen fifty five, Rosa Parks is arrested for refusing to
move to the back of the bus of Montgomery, Alabama
Historic Day and that bus. I believe it's still in
the Henry Ford Museum, right, I mean, it's it's like
the centerpiece of it. In nineteen eighty nine, Chevy Chase's
holiday cl I said Christmas Vacation opened in theaters.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
It's the best, so good, And I just saw.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
At Kroger yesterday in the seasonal aisle, they had Christmas
Vacation candy bars. Oh wow, And I was like, I
don't remember a part in the movie that had this.
And I think it's just branded Christmas Vacation and it's
got Chevy Chase on it and everything.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
You know, what I also think is weird branding. I
bought some bores and cheese from Kroger over the weekend
and the packaging is Emily in Paris.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I was like, isn't that stupid book you were reading?

Speaker 3 (04:32):
That's all I want?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
No, it was The Wives one Seven Wives.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Of all right, and I'm gonna tell her what happens
at that end because she had three years.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
No, I already I finished, she did, I did, Okay,
But yeah, I thought that that was really weird.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Also, since we already trade a Christmas station, it's important
for me to retract that bur Lives did not have
seven wives. I just don't want to get that out there. Yeah,
disparage the man who's been gone a long time. In
nineteen ninety one, Britney Spears appeared on Star Search, and
in nineteen ninety four, Home Garden TV made its debut HGTV.

(05:08):
You know it by there you go.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Let's find out how many wives burl Ives did.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
I guarantee you did not have more than one.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
He can't possibly have been had too, you, liar Helen
and Dorothy?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh did Helen? And I? Ah like burl Ives can't
be a guy that divorces. He's Sam the snowman from Rudolph.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Maybe he's way different behind closed doors than you.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
I'm going to get to the bottom of it, you know.
But I bet you Dorothy came in between, and no,
I bet.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You that's what story you love? All right. Hollywood Minutes
brought to you by Tappers.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Fine Jewelry Ray carry rakes in more than two point
five million dollars in royalties every single year from all
I want for Christmas is you.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
I'm sorry I have to interrupt you. I work you
as a home er.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
I was not wrong.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
There was so much home wrecking going on.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Are you serious?

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Ives and Helen divorced in February seventy one. I'ves married
Dorothy two months later.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Oh believe sorry about that? Father Christmas?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Hey, can I give you a stat too?

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Since we're in Hollywood Minute and you gave them Mariah
A stat. How about this stat? Patti Labelle's Walmart Sweet
Potato pies have made over two hundred million dollars and
now pull an eighty million every year. It's one of
the highest earning celebrity food brands in history.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
That is crazy. Are you responsible for half of that?

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Why I like those pies?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I know, I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm just saying stars making money off other stuff as
I'm believing.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Insane, right, Ben afflex next Super Bowl ad for Duncan
reportedly includes stars like Ted Danson, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc,
Alfonso Rovero, and more. The project, supposedly titled Good Will Duncan,
had such tight security that staff had to put tape
over their phone on their cameras.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Wow, one other thing.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Oh god, this is just for als.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
You have a wonder when filming the Duncan commercial, if
somebody said, I better get the dead I better get
the Ted dancing plane. Where's the Ted Dancing plane? Okay,
go ahead.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Tom Cruise's famous Christmas cake that he sends out to
his friends is now available for purchase on gold Belly.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
This is and will be delivered through the holidays.

Speaker 2 (07:20):

you can have a fy gold belly. Boss.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
I don't understand why I'm so behind in everything.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Because you need to turn a TV on or look
at the internet for once. Everything does not rolled for Facebook.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
Okay, So every holiday Tom sends out this white chocolate
coconut bunk cake from a mom and pop bakery in California,
and he admitted on The Late Late Show with James
Corden back in the Daily he likes to send cakes
to people because he doesn't consume sugar while he's training,
so instead of treating himself, they all get the cakes.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Oh I'm gonna keep the calories off myself. Here you
get fat.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
It's one hundred and three dollars. By the way, this
cake lot's dead and look there it is. There's the
Tom Cruise cake.

Speaker 3 (08:15):

Spectacular is on at eight on ABC.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Allison's Bubbles coming up next.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
I don't even know how Chipotle can make this happen.

Speaker 2 (09:39):

Speaker 3 (09:41):
It's math and craziness.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
And yeah, we leave for Jay's Juniors tomorrow Friday. In
the Bubble today.

Speaker 4 (09:57):

have a hard time wrapping my brain around it.

This is just Chipotle. Okay, Okay, this is just Chipotle.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
They use ninety seven thousand pounds of avocados a day.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I believe it.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Oh, but how do you?

Speaker 4 (10:16):
I mean, first of all, I think avocados can only
grow in a few places.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
I don't think I could be wrong, But I don't
know that you can grow them everywhere. I don't think
they are.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
I mean, maybe greenhouses everywhere, but I feel like they
need special. No, that's one hundred thousand pounds just Chipotle
every day, and you've got Kidoba. I mean, I get
my avocados at Kroger the grocery store. I always got avocado.
I mean, yeah, man, we're growing avocados.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I mean that's a business to be in. Like, that's
where we should have been.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
We should be the avocado business. Hey, should we hire
Alison ten years ago?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Or should we just quit this gig? It just started
an avocado farm.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
That would have been the way to go, because.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Guess who'd be banking right now this show and we
have a bigger stay.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
You could have want to hire me anyway to be
on your avocado farm.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
And I loved it.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, we still could do the avocado. Well, let's talk
about it on the plane.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Wait, what do you guys do get together every morning
and just talk about avocados with each other? Yeah, that's it.
And we're raking in Billy.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
It's Chelsea's job to put the toothpicks in and set
them in the water.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah, she does that.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Allison prints the inventory every day.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
