Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, that was an awesome segment earlier if you
if you missed Christina's Cookie Jar talking about rare Nirvana footage,
and you can just hear her passion for Nirvana. She's
in an incredibly popular Nirvana cover band called Oatmeal Pizza.
And they sound identical, they sound just like Nirvana. And
they're thrown down at the grape Vine Bar this Saturday night.
And that's not in Grapevine, that's in Dallas. So go
(00:22):
watch Christina's band Oatmeal Pizza this Saturday night at the
Grapevine Bar in Dallas. Where'd we decide? That was Harry
Hines and Butler and Harry Hine over there in Inwood.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
What'd you say that?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Over there, there's that Arby's over there.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yes, the directions are looking up in your phone. Yeah,
oh man, Evin, pick up some RBS on the way.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
But right now it start for this, give me that
news quickie.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
All right, gets a new government data here guessing game
one and how many adults say they are current smokers.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
I'm gonna say one in nine.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Really, I would say one in maybe thirty.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Ben, I'm gonna say one in sixteen. So there's sixteen
people over there in the sales pit. One of them
is a smoker. Can you identify who it is?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's that guy that started that MAVs rally that left
that guy, Oh yeah, but he's not here anymore. I
think it's the guy that we all know who I'm
talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Who talks like this. Now, that's a girl.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I don't think there's anyone over there that talks like
that except that girl.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It's one and eleven adults and this is now an
all time low.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So Christina wins, but I also win.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
That's right, was terrible.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You're right.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I should have clarified.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
I didn't know, like cigarettes secret, I think you don't
see cigarettes much anymore, but.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I think I do think you know, and adults is well,
I bet it's you know, if you look at younger people,
it's way less obviously, but there's still some people hanging
in there, you know, older people. But I bet like
when my my parents, mine and Ben's parents were in
their thirties, I bet it was half the nation.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I'm starting a new podcast about star Wars and non
smokers called Darth Vapor.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Oh God, good dude, to go with the Brownie James One.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, Bronnie James Dio, that's really wanted a new umbrella.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
You've really over here.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Seems like these are one offs. But I have a network.
Now there's a whole network. I'm looking for a lot
of shows.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
So in the mid sixties, forty two percent of US
adults were smokers.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Okay, so it's.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Four sixty years ago, four out of ten and now
it's one out of eleven.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, kind of crazy, right, crazy decrease.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I feel like you don't see as many smokers as
you used too. Clearly we know this bike even over
the last few years. But vapes you can just take inside, right,
So we're good. Look in the city, those are the
vapor uls. You're good.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
You're not supposed to smoke indoors anymore, I don't think.
I don't some people.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
You're not supposed to vape indoors, And well, it depends
on the municipality, right, Like I think Dallas is different
than Colin County.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I think, is.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
There I don't notice a smell, first of all, if
somebody's vaping, it just smells like like wedding cake or
whatever scent it is, right, Is there a danger from
secondhand vape smoke?
Speaker 6 (03:25):
I know I do live with someone who vapes quite
a bit. I don't think so, not yet.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I'm fine.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I think it's I think the reason there's I think
the reason that you can't just do it anywhere is
because we don't know, and there's assumptions.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Is a vape different than an e sig? What electronic cigarette?
Speaker 7 (03:42):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I know, but I just like hard, so I'm asking.
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
I would say, yes, you mean like a jewel.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well, this says the use of electronic cigarettes is up
to seven percent.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We're idiots, none of us are.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I think they're considering a vapor.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
The short answer about is secondhand vape smoke dangerous? The
short answer is yes, it is. Secondhand vape aerosol is
not harmless. But the research is still developing and it's
generally considered less dangerous than secondhand smoke.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So it's not anywhere near. We just don't know because
there hadn't been enough testing of it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
There's over in Well, there's both sides of seventy five,
I guess. But in Richardson there's a couple of places
where smoking is a loud inside. Okay, so you go in.
Let me guess there's wizards that Wizards, of course, But
there's a there's one place. I think it's called the Chase.
It's over there by the free Play Arcade. And I
(04:35):
just love the layout of the place. It's cheap drinks.
I love the way it looks. But your your clothes will.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Smell like smoke. Feah moth, dude. I can't stand the
smell of smoke. Both my parents smoked growing up. They
used to smoke in cars. I mean I remember plane
seats used to have a little ashtrays on them. Yeah,
I can't stand it. And yeah, the just being around
it is And I feel so sorry for smokers too.
I see people like when the weather's like five degrees outside,
(05:03):
people leave an office space to go smoke and have
small talk outside. That looks like the most painful small
talk ever. Yeah, dude, you've got a great concept for
a retro bar.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's basically the inside of a nineteen seventies brand if plane, huh,
and everybody can smoke in there, and then the waitresses
are dressed like stewardesses from the seventies and they bring
you drinks.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, how bad? That's pretty good. I would smoke, and.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I would only be available to one and eleven people
would be interested in going there. But I think I
could at least get freak Jesus to come by business class. Yeah,

lash for a happy hour? You know what, I'll go
