Speaker 1 (00:00):
And now the show is happy to bring you. I'm pissed.
I have some respect Thors midweek milk down.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
All right, here we go and see what is irritating
him this week. He will take down industries, takes down governments.
He goes after everyone, man, his wife, No one's safe,
No nobody is safe and can shut me down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I kind of want to something. Yeah, you know, I
want to talk about the giants. But I think I've
already used it. I mean, you didn't January. He's really
not smart. Don't worry. I'm saving it this year. What
I'm saving it for next year? Like, don't worry. I
got that. I'm not worried. But that's not about here.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I can't save it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
He has to get it out. Oh no, Emily, this
is something that's going to affect a person on this
show more than you can leave.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
So.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I don't know if you've heard, but the city of
San Diego has passed a new law. So if you
like grocery shopping, and if you like getting fast food
and you like using the apps for coupons, guess what
you are about to get screwed because there's a new
law that went into play. Basically, for seniors. That basically says,
(01:26):
if you have an app only thing at Taco Bell,
or if you have if you're at an Albertson's or
a Van's and you want to use an app coupon,
you're not going to be eligible to use it unless
they also have a paper coupon that goes with it.
And now you may be saying to yourself, wait a minute,
(01:46):
doesn't all of these have paper coupons. No, they don't.
Some of them are specifically app only, and they're specifically
app only because a lot of these coupons come from
national vendors, and the national vendors do it fast and quick,
only for a day or two and then they get
rid of it. It's like with Taco Bell, you do
it for a special day, like if it's Taco Day,
(02:08):
I don't know, or like you know.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
When to come up with Taco Day McDonald's, McDonald's, there
was just a day with National Burger Day. With the
other day they don't have. They're not going to throw
out all these paper coupons, so what they're so they
would just go, hey, it's an app only thing, go
to the app to deal on the app.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
But but for some reason, San Diego council Member Sean
Ello Ravanna pushed this bill, saying no more of that
because he's worried about senior citizens and them not being
able to use apps.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
So what does that mean? That means this bill passed
and we're now the only city in the country, the
only city in the country that has this law. So
when you go to Albertsons Emily, or when you go
to Alberta.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yesterday and I used to coop on my app, you.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Use it, But that coupon that you use probably is
also a paper coupon. Right now, what's going on is
eventually they're gonna get less and less deal. So check
this out people. NBC seven reported, Oh shout out, I
got I gotta I gotta check, I gotta walk. These
are your sources, NBC. One of the issues, one of
the issues Von's is having is that they can't keep
(03:23):
up with the app and the paper. So people are
saying employees that there's these vonds, there's twenty nine vonds
in the city of San Diego. They're saying we're losing
these discounts left and right, and VON is basically saying
we may just get rid of these discounts altogether because
we can't keep up and when and the national vendors
aren't gonna say, aren't gonna give us a break because
(03:46):
where it's just you that is having this sas So
they're going to potentially choose to opt out of coupons
all together for everybody because they can't keep up, that's
what they're saying. And then Sean Ellovera saying this is ridiculous,
blah blah blah blah. But this is the bigger issue here,
is that why did this need to be done? Because
(04:07):
my ninety four year old grandma doesn't know how to
use an app? Well, guess what, learn learn how to
use the app, grandma, because what's gonna end up happening
is whe're gonna lose coupons and we're gonna lose discounts. Well,
not a second, go ahead. You know, I'm a coupon man.
You're a coupon man, but I'm a paper coupon man.
(04:29):
You are, I love them.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Don't just use the app.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I don't even have the app. Why obviously not how
to use app? But you're missing out on deals because
I'm still getting the coupons though, but but not all
the deals are in the coupons. There's some that are
just for apps. Is that right? Yes, so what they're
but so now you're so you could be only getting
half the deals. But now what's gonna happen is you're
not evenna get half the deals. You're gonna get none
(04:52):
of them. I'm not gonna get the coupons anymore. I
don't know what they're gonna they send them to me.
So you're but yeah, but you're gonna miss out on
other deals. So there's still gonna send those like coupons.
But then the special like quicker deals that are only
like for a day or two, you're not gonna get
any more.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
You're saying, they're different, like the coupon paper are completely
different than the ones that that they do on the app.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, because the app and the coupon are the saint.
But they're making extra app just on the app that
are only for a day or two or happen right away,
and they don't have enough inventory to make coupons. Okay,
so that's what they're saying. So potentially Eddie could lose
his paper coupons, that's what they're saying. And next thing.
(05:34):
You know, you're gonna have to be driving Arizona and
to go get groceries. We're gonna drafted and get groceries.
Somebody like Emily who forgets everything, She's gonna call her.
She's gonna be in Arizona. Hey, hey, read what do
you need? He's got every day, she's gonna be half
She's gonna be halfway home and rushed. She forgot milk.
Gotta turn around to Glendale. Glendale, save you enough money
(05:58):
to cover a trip to No, of course.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Not mad.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I feel like, so like what's happened now is because
of Sean Ello. Stop calling him out specific Well, he's
the one that did this for no reason. So he
did it. He did it for Grammy Judy. Clearly my
man got a wild hair, wanted to put his name
and stamp on something and decide this was going to
be it. And I get you're helping the old people,
(06:22):
for sure, I get it. I talked to my grandma.
She doesn't know what the hell is going on. I
totally understand that. But at the end of the day,
look at people in the city of San Diego. The
majority of us, our residents are not old like it's
a younger generation of people, and you're screwing us all.
So check this out. You're be saying thor it's only
it's not that much, only a little bit of Q pons. Well,
guess what's guy, Guess how much the cost of living
(06:44):
is in San Diego right now?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
A billion.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
If you have two kids and you live in a
household in San Diego, it costs one hundred You have
to earn one hundred and sixteen thousand dollars a year
to not live paycheck to paycheck. And they say thirty
one percent of families struggle to make ends meet in
San Diego. That's three hundred and seven thousand households. And
now we're gonna take away coupons because some moron got
(07:08):
a wild hair. You think Albert sins is going to
care about San Diego. They're just gonna go. You know what,
screw that city. Every other city in the country isn't
doing this, so screw them. But we won't give them
the coupons anymore. And then the most expensive place to
live gets more expensive.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Here's a novel idea. Why don't they just charge less
for groceries coupons? I'm gonna I'm gonna bring that one
up at the.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Next Sean what's his name, Eddie? What's what's next?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Are they going to get rid of those actual plastic
discount cards that you have, the club cards that you use.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Nobody you just use, you just use your phone number
needs that.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah, and he's pulling up he's got multiple ones.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Well, yeah, he's for work.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I haven't seen.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Don't don't one, don't want another one. We'll steal my
numbers scouts. Okay, it would help you because then you
get more credit. Check this out. So I'm not This
isn't just grocery stores. This is also fast food. So
(08:24):
when we do those lists of like National Donut Day,
your National Coffee Day, and it's like, oh, app only
at dunkin Donuts, app only at you know, Taco Bell,
app only at Chick fil A, that's gone because you
can't do app only anymore. So you got to You
got a family of four just trying to make ends meet,
and they hear all it's National Burger Day on the show.
I heard Sky talking about it, and they're like, my
(08:47):
ears Burger Day. And they go to use the app
and they're like, oh no, we can't. We don't. We don't.
You can't do that in San Diego. You need it
has to be on a coupon and an app. But
I don't know if McDonald's is going to apply. It's
going to apply to this that does it? It's cue ponts.
How are they going to do that? Exactly? You think
they would have thought this through. And the most expensive city,
one of the most expensive things in the country, where
(09:08):
people are struggling them against me. You think they would
have thought this through but not gonna get it. But
the city council and Sean Ello decided I'm gonna change this.
I'm over it. Why does the city hate its residents?
I don't understand it. Do they want everyone to move out?
Do they want garnet to themselves and they just want
(09:28):
to drive to PB hit the beach with nobody around
like it's apocalyptic times? Do they want no one to
live here? Do they want people not to be in
San Diego anymore? I don't understand it. What do we
have to do? It's too expensive and now you're taking
away our cuepots? You know what I need your leadership? Wow,
I'm raising my hand. No, I don't know that you're
the guy. I don't know that you're the guys. Decision
(09:50):
twenty twenty five is upon us. You're not on the ballot.
I don't know how, and it's not even write in.
So they need to take this law back immediately because
it's screwing over everyone in San Diego. Thank you. And
then I have a ninety four year old grandma. She'll
(10:11):
figure it out. Okay, we'll, Eddie, figure it out, is
the question. But I don't want to. I'm sorry, Eddie. Sorry, Hey,
this Saturday, maybe your last time.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
What
And now the show is happy to bring you. I'm pissed.
I have some respect Thors midweek milk down.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
All right, here we go and see what is irritating
him this week. He will take down industries, takes down governments.
He goes after everyone, man, his wife, No one's safe,
No nobody is safe and can shut me down.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
I kind of want to something. Yeah, you know, I
want to talk about the giants. But I think I've
already used it. I mean, you didn't January. He's really
not smart. Don't worry. I'm saving it this year. What
I'm saving it for next year? Like, don't worry. I
got that. I'm not worried. But that's not about here.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I can't save it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
He has to get it out. Oh no, Emily, this
is something that's going to affect a person on this
show more than you can leave.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
So.
Speaker 1 (01:01):

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Use it, But that coupon that you use probably is

not a second, go ahead. You know, I'm a coupon man.
You're a coupon man, but I'm a paper coupon man.
(04:29):
You are, I love them.
