But you know what, But,Kiki, this is where I can
change your life. I was thesame way I went with You. May

James Bergner. Yes, I've heardof him. Okay, Well, he
invited me to a sushi place.He said, the best sushi place in
California is in the South Coast Plaza. There's a sushi joint there, and
(04:05):
he said, hey, will youcome down, We'll have sushi. I
said, okay, I don't eatsushi, but I'll come down. So
I go down with Sweet James anda couple of guys from his office.
And he knows the chef or thesushi. What do they called the sushi.
I was gonna say, a soushchef, a sushi. I think
it is a sushi chef, asushi show whatever they call the guy there,
(04:25):
they called the guy he was thebest in California. And so I
sweet James orders, another guy ordered, another guy who orders, and they
come to me and I said,I'll take the chicken karaoke in the box
with the rice oho a bento box, right, And he looks at me
and he goes, I didn't.You're not coming down here and getting CHARIOKEI
(04:46):

oh. I said, well,let's go to Jack in the Box.
And he said no, no,no, no, you got to eat
sushi if you're coming here. Isaid, but I don't. I don't
like sushi. It'll tastes like fish. He said, Tim, I'm going
to order you a piece of fishthat's not going to taste like fish.
It's going to knock your socks off. I said, okay. He orders
me a sushi. I don't knowwhat it was. It wasn't a California
(05:08):
role. I had real fish init. Man, it was great.
It was great. I choked thatwhole thing down. I got another one.
The second one. I didn't evenyou know, douse it with kariaki
sauce. I just ate it raw. I raw dog that thing and it
was the best. Man. Inow understand why people spend one hundred and
fifty bucks a night per person ata sushi bar. That's great. Places
(05:30):
are hot, and now there's vegansushi for us vegan people. I'm just
saying it does that. They're actually, why do you always have to ruin
everything? Decent substitute? It's notruining it, I'm broadening it. Well,
that might be intriguing because I don'tlike such drinking eating so seafood,
yeah, vegan seafood. I knowit's not fish, thank you. But
it's made out of what shoes?Now, you know what, Tim,
(05:51):
that's just the kind of thing thatyou do. You disparage it until I
cried, What is it made out? That's how you do you try to
bring me to tears? What isit made out of hair? It's mushard,
mushroom. There's there's several different kindof soy satan. There's a lot
of different ways to do it.And you've had vegan soush delicious delicious,
and a lot of places, orcertainly a few places have both. Are
(06:13):
you embarrassed to ask for it?No? You know, like, hey,
I'm sorry, but do you guyshave vegan sushi? No? Tim,
I I go in heavy, Itip, well, I'm allowed to
ask for the vegan sushi, butso you've never had? Have you ever
had real sushi? Of course Iused to. I used to I inhale
it. It was unbelievable I havehad. You know, have I had
(06:33):
real sou I don't know how wellI'll committed. You are to being a
vegan for ten years? I haven't, but before that I did. All
right, buddy, you have thebest vegan story ever though, the guy
with the chicken. Where was that? Whole food? Whole foods? Can
we tell that when you come back? Yes, okay, that's a great
story, dude. You're listening toTim Conway Junior on demand from kf I
(06:55):
am six forty. Mark told mea great story. I don't know,
maybe ten years ago. How longwas that? I guess it was like
maybe eight years ago, years ago. What happened. I went to you
know, by the way, MikeMark Thompson a vegan, a very serious
one for the last ten years,fifteen years, ten years, right,
and when you start, and youknow, this is kind of just a
(07:16):
thing. When you start, youreally want to be I was pretty militant
about it. I really, youknow, I really believed that it was
there was a cruelty associated I didn'twant to be part of blah blah blah.
But I didn't lecture anybody on Inever would talk. You never do
now, Yeah, I don't donow. But I went to Whole Foods
about two years into being a vegan, and it was that Whole Foods.
(07:38):
Not that it's important, but Ilike specifics over in Brentwood, where I
was living at the time, andI go there to the counter where they
have all of the different salads andstuff, and I see that they have
a vegan chicken. So it's ayou know, it's made out of satan
or tempe or something, and it'sdone in a kind of a cool sauce.
(08:01):
It was like a curry kind ofthing, and it said Vegan curry
chicken. And there's also tod thatwas vegan regular chicken. They had like
a couple of them that were regularalongside the vegan stuff. So I said,
let me have a big container ofthe vegan curry chicken. And the
(08:24):
guy goes, oh, man,are you vegan? Wow? He said.
I this young kid, he mighthave been twenty. Now this is
the other thing when you know,you kind of want younger people whose taste
can change maybe to jump on boardbecause you feel like it's the right way
to be, like the right wayto live. So he said, oh,
are you a vegan? Wow?He said, man, how's that
going? Like what exactly is thatabout? Like why did you start?
(08:45):
Some ask me all these questions.And again I don't talk about it,
but he's asked me these questions aboutwhy I became a vegan, what is
it involved, what do I miss? Blah blah bah this stuff. So
I'm talking. He said, I'mreally interested in doing it. I really
think what's the best way to start? Is there a website I should go
to there all these questions. Mighthave had nine or ten questions about it.
(09:05):
Meantime, he's putting the thing inthe bucket, you know, that
little plastic bucket and he puts theprice tag on it and sends me on
my way, and I said,good luck. He said, yeah,
man, I'm really gonna check itout. Thank you so much, and
you know, see you again.Pay for it. Get into the car.
I'm starving. I start eating itbecause I'm just absolutely famished, and
(09:28):
I'm driving and I'm eating, andI'm driving and I'm eating. And now
maybe two minutes go by, andI'm it's there's like a gristle to it,
like a good it's it like thechicken whatever those are tendons or whatever
the heck they is in that meat. I'm tasting it or I'm yeah,
the texture is different, tastes likea texture of chicken. I look at
(09:54):
the label and it says curry chicken. Are you kidding me? Dude?
We had a whole conversation, like, you know, guy busted rooms all
lazy. I when you completely hadme taken in. That's great. You
He had to have done that onpurpose, It sure had to it.
(10:16):
He was a brilliant, brilliant Itwas a brilliant turn if he did it
seemed so. Sincere I used towork at a place called DeMarco's. There
was an Italian restaurant owned by anAsian couple, and there was a Mexican
chef. There wasn't an Italian withineight miles of that restaurant. That's the
American way. And an Irish waitermet. So these two women come in,
(10:41):
you know, forties or so,and they both ordered lasagna. One
ordered meat, the other one orderedvegetarian lasagna. So I went to the
chef, Jose, give me onemeat, one vegetarian, a bang put
it on the table and they starteating. Bring over their wine, the
biscuits, the rolls, the wholerun. And about ten minutes later,
(11:07):
lady goes, excuse me, Isaid, yeah, and she said,
I think there's meat in this one. I were the vegetarian, and she'd
already eaten half of it, andshe said, she goes, I haven't
eaten meat in twenty years. AndI said, well, you seem to
enjoy it, wow, which isprobably the wrong thing to say. Yeah,
(11:28):
that's not really a waiter thing tosay. Yeah, it wasn't really
a good waiter. But she dideat half of it. Yeah, but
she might have realized that she mighthave been conversation or something. There's a
lot of big meat in there though. No, it's almost like meatballs in
there. But she was shocked andshe wanted everything free. And it was
a big deal. It was abig I mean, I mean, don't
(11:48):
I don't ever make a big deal. I really don't make a big deal.
I mean, but but I butI could see if you ordered something
and it was wrong, then youcould get it sent back. I get
it. I get it. Butshe'd like a little sympathy for me.
I could. I could see themeat across the street from the Texico station.
Yeah, there's a lot of meatin that thing, but as a
server, you didn't see it whenyou were giving it to her. I
wasn't a good waiter. I didn'tpay it. I didn't pay great attention
(12:11):
to details. I'm just saying,you don't have to be, you know,
too much to snide to the morewoman. I did like that job
though, I you know, madesome decent money. I lived next door,
so I'd walked to work, youknow, and uh and serve pizzas
and good Italian food all night.The food there was great Man DeMarco's Italian
restaurant, remember that it was onMore Park and Fulton. That was a
(12:33):
great a great hangman. Man.Was that place good? Just the smell
of it, great Italian food,It was the best. Those are my
favorite jobs of all time. Howlong were you a waiter there? About
a year and a half. Ohwow, so you do. You weren't
that bad a waiter? No,I mean I got by. I got
by, but I eventually got fired. That was one of the reasons,
(12:56):
you know, I got thrown outof there from Yeah, just wasn't.
I just wasn't. I couldn't keepeverything straight. I had like nine tables,
which is probably too many for aweight. It's not very good.
Yeah, And it wasn't good atrefills, and I wasn't good at you
know who got what? It justwasn't not great, and so she threw
(13:16):
me out of there. I thinkI'd be a good waiter, which it,
Yeah, I think it. It'sthe things that you just talked about.
It's relationship with the table. Youlet make it clear that you're there
to help them in any way,get you whatever you need, and just
keeping keeping it straight. You knowwhat I what I don't like in waiters
and waitresses is the ones who memorizethe order. Yeah, why not write
(13:39):
it down? Just write it down. You know, you make me nervous.
If you're a memorized it makes meanxious. I always go, gee,
you remember all that because we arethe last time that happened, there
was a weird there's six of usand she's and and she didn't write anything
down and she got it right.But I think she got lucky. You
know that she got it right.But I makes me nervous where she just
(14:01):
shouldn't have looked at everybody and sheshe didn't even have a patter of right.
And it can be at high endplaces. It was. It was
remarkable. She got everything right,you know. But I think that's showing
off the best thing to do.I don't. I mean, I just
think it's I don't know. Ithink it's taking a chance that you don't
need to take. But I dolike it when they do it. If
there are four people involved in theorder has any complexity at all. And
(14:22):
then when they leave, I go, okay, now let's make a little
wager. Does she or if itcomes back right miss anything or not just
one thing. But they get itright so often, Oh that's true.
They're really pretty good at they're greatat it. But it makes me nervous,
you know, just fake like you'rewriting it down. You know,
ten doesn't even have to work.Just bring out an old though, to
(14:43):
just air right. It as theperson speaking on your forehead. Yeah,
I'll love the parmesan. That's rightright in the air. And plus I
was I was with the guys whoare complicated their orders, you know.
For the guys I was with,the menu was just a mere suggestion of
what the restaurant offered. It washorrible. It's fleet week. We have
(15:05):

(15:48):
not a lot of news on ityet. And but Matthew Perry's death as
is now considered an open has wasconsidered an open shutcase. But as far
as the authorities go, they're stilldigging into how one particular drug I was
(16:11):
discovered in his system. So lawenforcement, according to TMZ, law enforcement
sources tell TMZ that there's an ongoinginvestigation where Matthew Perry got the ketamine ketamine
or ketamine keine. You say ketamine, I say ketama that ended up playing
a part in his death. Andthe main question, I guess is who
(16:34):
provided the drug and under what circumstances. So the sources to say that local
police and the DEA have been lookinginto this matter for months and it's unclear
where exactly investigators are in the probe. So that's interesting. Wow, we're
going to get the ketamine ketamine ketamine. I don't know. I don't know.
(16:59):
I don't Wendy's is in the news. I like Wendy's. Wendy's a

(17:45):
English muffin sandwich. Oh that soundsgreat. Man Baked potato, you know,
don't know whether fast food does thebaked potato. Baked potato is a
great thing. It's a great deal, the meal less than the average cup
of coffee. It's a great dealfor consumers of the drive through. It's
an even better deal for Wendy's.Wendy's telling ABC News we're giving fans even
(18:07):
more ways to satisfy their morning cravingsfor a price they can feel good about.

Fast food prices in March we're thirtythree percent higher than back in twenty nineteen.
What the hell? Everyone's paying morefor groceries? Have you noticed it?
I think that there's some advantage beingtaken of that. But yeah,
I think you're right. I thinkyou're onto something. According to the Labor
(19:12):
Department, the prices are very differentthan even what they were when I was
in high school or in college.Yeah, I'm with that lady Costco.
I was there last night, andI like the ice cream at Costco,
the big vanilla ice cream. Butit's too much, you know, you
get sick after a while. Theygive you like a ton of it.
Yeah, you can't stop eating it. It's because it's like a soft,

It's so good. Yeah. Theice cream at the food court.
And then the pizza is great too. Big slices, yep, big big

This bothers me. Costco is raisingprices on some of its most popular items
(20:22):
are report by eat this not thatshows the price of Kirkland's signature organic extra
virgin olive oil jumped from seventeen dollarsto twenty five dollars. What a title
on that olive oil shows the priceof Kirkland's signature organic extra virgin olive oil.

bread. You have all these differentkinds of olive oil and all these different
(21:06):
kinds of vinegar. They actually theolive oil is all from that you know,
olive oil region. Yeah, it'sthere from that farm or that really?
Yeah? And how much olive oilcan you choke down? Though?
I mean they give you just it'sa little bit in little cups. Is
it all different though? Little taste? It's all different and it's it's extremely
delicious, and of course I endedup buying a bunch of olive oil there
(21:29):
and vinegar. But it's all perfect. I mean, there's a whole process
by which olive oil is made,and maybe Costco gets really good to olive
oil too. I don't know.God, if it wasn't for gambling and
radio, I don't think you andI would have ever met. I've never
been. I've never been an oliveoil tasting before. It sounds like you
do. Courtney said, let's goto olive I said, I never been.

a night in the hotel for anolive oil contest. It was. That
was just one of the things goingon. It was very love O high
is beautiful. Yeah. What didit cost you to taste olive oil all
day? I think it wasn't expensive. And I think, honestly, it's
like a one hundred bucks might havebeen fifteen bucks apiece. Oh it's not
bad. Yeah, it's not badat all. I know it wasn't better
at all. All right, Conwayand Thompson, Right, buddy, olive

(03:42):
But you know what, But,Kiki, this is where I can
change your life. I was thesame way I went with You. May
have heard about this guy, youknow, you know a guy named Sweet
James Bergner. Yes, I've heardof him. Okay, Well, he
invited me to a sushi place.He said, the best sushi place in
California is in the South Coast Plaza. There's a sushi joint there, and
(04:05):
he said, hey, will youcome down, We'll have sushi. I
said, okay, I don't eatsushi, but I'll come down. So
I go down with Sweet James anda couple of guys from his office.
And he knows the chef or thesushi. What do they called the sushi.
I was gonna say, a soushchef, a sushi. I think
it is a sushi chef, asushi show whatever they call the guy there,
(04:25):
they called the guy he was thebest in California. And so I
sweet James orders, another guy ordered, another guy who orders, and they
come to me and I said,I'll take the chicken karaoke in the box
with the rice oho a bento box, right, And he looks at me
and he goes, I didn't.You're not coming down here and getting CHARIOKEI
(04:46):
chicken. You can get that atJack in the Box. And I said
oh. I said, well,let's go to Jack in the Box.
And he said no, no,no, no, you got to eat
sushi if you're coming here. Isaid, but I don't. I don't
like sushi. It'll tastes like fish. He said, Tim, I'm going
to order you a piece of fishthat's not going to taste like fish.
It's going to knock your socks off. I said, okay. He orders
me a sushi. I don't knowwhat it was. It wasn't a California
(05:08):
role. I had real fish init. Man, it was great.
It was great. I choked thatwhole thing down. I got another one.
The second one. I didn't evenyou know, douse it with kariaki
sauce. I just ate it raw. I raw dog that thing and it
was the best. Man. Inow understand why people spend one hundred and
fifty bucks a night per person ata sushi bar. That's great. Places
(05:30):
are hot, and now there's vegansushi for us vegan people. I'm just
saying it does that. They're actually, why do you always have to ruin
everything? Decent substitute? It's notruining it, I'm broadening it. Well,
that might be intriguing because I don'tlike such drinking eating so seafood,
yeah, vegan seafood. I knowit's not fish, thank you. But
it's made out of what shoes?Now, you know what, Tim,
(05:51):
that's just the kind of thing thatyou do. You disparage it until I
cried, What is it made out? That's how you do you try to
bring me to tears? What isit made out of hair? It's mushard,
mushroom. There's there's several different kindof soy satan. There's a lot
of different ways to do it.And you've had vegan soush delicious delicious,
and a lot of places, orcertainly a few places have both. Are
(06:13):
you embarrassed to ask for it?No? You know, like, hey,
I'm sorry, but do you guyshave vegan sushi? No? Tim,
I I go in heavy, Itip, well, I'm allowed to
ask for the vegan sushi, butso you've never had? Have you ever
had real sushi? Of course Iused to. I used to I inhale
it. It was unbelievable I havehad. You know, have I had
(06:33):
real sou I don't know how wellI'll committed. You are to being a
vegan for ten years? I haven't, but before that I did. All
right, buddy, you have thebest vegan story ever though, the guy
with the chicken. Where was that? Whole food? Whole foods? Can
we tell that when you come back? Yes, okay, that's a great
story, dude. You're listening toTim Conway Junior on demand from kf I
(06:55):
am six forty. Mark told mea great story. I don't know,
maybe ten years ago. How longwas that? I guess it was like
maybe eight years ago, years ago. What happened. I went to you
know, by the way, MikeMark Thompson a vegan, a very serious
one for the last ten years,fifteen years, ten years, right,
and when you start, and youknow, this is kind of just a
(07:16):
thing. When you start, youreally want to be I was pretty militant
about it. I really, youknow, I really believed that it was
there was a cruelty associated I didn'twant to be part of blah blah blah.
But I didn't lecture anybody on Inever would talk. You never do
now, Yeah, I don't donow. But I went to Whole Foods
about two years into being a vegan, and it was that Whole Foods.
(07:38):
Not that it's important, but Ilike specifics over in Brentwood, where I
was living at the time, andI go there to the counter where they
have all of the different salads andstuff, and I see that they have
a vegan chicken. So it's ayou know, it's made out of satan
or tempe or something, and it'sdone in a kind of a cool sauce.
(08:01):
It was like a curry kind ofthing, and it said Vegan curry
chicken. And there's also tod thatwas vegan regular chicken. They had like
a couple of them that were regularalongside the vegan stuff. So I said,
let me have a big container ofthe vegan curry chicken. And the
(08:24):
guy goes, oh, man,are you vegan? Wow? He said.
I this young kid, he mighthave been twenty. Now this is
the other thing when you know,you kind of want younger people whose taste
can change maybe to jump on boardbecause you feel like it's the right way
to be, like the right wayto live. So he said, oh,
are you a vegan? Wow?He said, man, how's that
going? Like what exactly is thatabout? Like why did you start?
(08:45):
Some ask me all these questions.And again I don't talk about it,
but he's asked me these questions aboutwhy I became a vegan, what is
it involved, what do I miss? Blah blah bah this stuff. So
I'm talking. He said, I'mreally interested in doing it. I really
think what's the best way to start? Is there a website I should go
to there all these questions. Mighthave had nine or ten questions about it.
(09:05):
Meantime, he's putting the thing inthe bucket, you know, that
little plastic bucket and he puts theprice tag on it and sends me on
my way, and I said,good luck. He said, yeah,
man, I'm really gonna check itout. Thank you so much, and
you know, see you again.Pay for it. Get into the car.
I'm starving. I start eating itbecause I'm just absolutely famished, and
(09:28):
I'm driving and I'm eating, andI'm driving and I'm eating. And now
maybe two minutes go by, andI'm it's there's like a gristle to it,
like a good it's it like thechicken whatever those are tendons or whatever
the heck they is in that meat. I'm tasting it or I'm yeah,
the texture is different, tastes likea texture of chicken. I look at
(09:54):
the label and it says curry chicken. Are you kidding me? Dude?
We had a whole conversation, like, you know, guy busted rooms all
lazy. I when you completely hadme taken in. That's great. You
He had to have done that onpurpose, It sure had to it.
(10:16):
He was a brilliant, brilliant Itwas a brilliant turn if he did it
seemed so. Sincere I used towork at a place called DeMarco's. There
was an Italian restaurant owned by anAsian couple, and there was a Mexican
chef. There wasn't an Italian withineight miles of that restaurant. That's the
American way. And an Irish waitermet. So these two women come in,
(10:41):
you know, forties or so,and they both ordered lasagna. One
ordered meat, the other one orderedvegetarian lasagna. So I went to the
chef, Jose, give me onemeat, one vegetarian, a bang put
it on the table and they starteating. Bring over their wine, the
biscuits, the rolls, the wholerun. And about ten minutes later,
(11:07):
lady goes, excuse me, Isaid, yeah, and she said,
I think there's meat in this one. I were the vegetarian, and she'd
already eaten half of it, andshe said, she goes, I haven't
eaten meat in twenty years. AndI said, well, you seem to
enjoy it, wow, which isprobably the wrong thing to say. Yeah,
(11:28):
that's not really a waiter thing tosay. Yeah, it wasn't really
a good waiter. But she dideat half of it. Yeah, but
she might have realized that she mighthave been conversation or something. There's a
lot of big meat in there though. No, it's almost like meatballs in
there. But she was shocked andshe wanted everything free. And it was
a big deal. It was abig I mean, I mean, don't
(11:48):
I don't ever make a big deal. I really don't make a big deal.
I mean, but but I butI could see if you ordered something
and it was wrong, then youcould get it sent back. I get
it. I get it. Butshe'd like a little sympathy for me.
I could. I could see themeat across the street from the Texico station.
Yeah, there's a lot of meatin that thing, but as a
server, you didn't see it whenyou were giving it to her. I
wasn't a good waiter. I didn'tpay it. I didn't pay great attention
(12:11):
to details. I'm just saying,you don't have to be, you know,
too much to snide to the morewoman. I did like that job
though, I you know, madesome decent money. I lived next door,
so I'd walked to work, youknow, and uh and serve pizzas
and good Italian food all night.The food there was great Man DeMarco's Italian
restaurant, remember that it was onMore Park and Fulton. That was a
(12:33):
great a great hangman. Man.Was that place good? Just the smell
of it, great Italian food,It was the best. Those are my
favorite jobs of all time. Howlong were you a waiter there? About
a year and a half. Ohwow, so you do. You weren't
that bad a waiter? No,I mean I got by. I got
by, but I eventually got fired. That was one of the reasons,
(12:56):
you know, I got thrown outof there from Yeah, just wasn't.
I just wasn't. I couldn't keepeverything straight. I had like nine tables,
which is probably too many for aweight. It's not very good.
Yeah, And it wasn't good atrefills, and I wasn't good at you
know who got what? It justwasn't not great, and so she threw
(13:16):
me out of there. I thinkI'd be a good waiter, which it,
Yeah, I think it. It'sthe things that you just talked about.
It's relationship with the table. Youlet make it clear that you're there
to help them in any way,get you whatever you need, and just
keeping keeping it straight. You knowwhat I what I don't like in waiters
and waitresses is the ones who memorizethe order. Yeah, why not write
(13:39):
it down? Just write it down. You know, you make me nervous.
If you're a memorized it makes meanxious. I always go, gee,
you remember all that because we arethe last time that happened, there
was a weird there's six of usand she's and and she didn't write anything
down and she got it right.But I think she got lucky. You
know that she got it right.But I makes me nervous where she just
(14:01):
shouldn't have looked at everybody and sheshe didn't even have a patter of right.
And it can be at high endplaces. It was. It was
remarkable. She got everything right,you know. But I think that's showing
off the best thing to do.I don't. I mean, I just
think it's I don't know. Ithink it's taking a chance that you don't
need to take. But I dolike it when they do it. If
there are four people involved in theorder has any complexity at all. And
(14:22):
then when they leave, I go, okay, now let's make a little
wager. Does she or if itcomes back right miss anything or not just
one thing. But they get itright so often, Oh that's true.
They're really pretty good at they're greatat it. But it makes me nervous,
you know, just fake like you'rewriting it down. You know,
ten doesn't even have to work.Just bring out an old though, to
(14:43):
just air right. It as theperson speaking on your forehead. Yeah,
I'll love the parmesan. That's rightright in the air. And plus I
was I was with the guys whoare complicated their orders, you know.
For the guys I was with,the menu was just a mere suggestion of
what the restaurant offered. It washorrible. It's fleet week. We have
(15:05):

(15:48):
not a lot of news on ityet. And but Matthew Perry's death as

as the authorities go, they're stilldigging into how one particular drug I was
(16:11):
discovered in his system. So lawenforcement, according to TMZ, law enforcement
sources tell TMZ that there's an ongoinginvestigation where Matthew Perry got the ketamine ketamine
or ketamine keine. You say ketamine, I say ketama that ended up playing
a part in his death. Andthe main question, I guess is who
(16:34):
provided the drug and under what circumstances. So the sources to say that local
police and the DEA have been lookinginto this matter for months and it's unclear
where exactly investigators are in the probe. So that's interesting. Wow, we're
going to get the ketamine ketamine ketamine. I don't know. I don't know.
(16:59):
I don't Wendy's is in the news. I like Wendy's. Wendy's a

English muffin sandwich. Oh that soundsgreat. Man Baked potato, you know,
don't know whether fast food does thebaked potato. Baked potato is a
great thing. It's a great deal, the meal less than the average cup
of coffee. It's a great dealfor consumers of the drive through. It's
an even better deal for Wendy's.Wendy's telling ABC News we're giving fans even

Fast food prices in March we're thirtythree percent higher than back in twenty nineteen.
What the hell? Everyone's paying morefor groceries? Have you noticed it?
I think that there's some advantage beingtaken of that. But yeah,
I think you're right. I thinkyou're onto something. According to the Labor
(19:12):
Department, the prices are very differentthan even what they were when I was
in high school or in college.Yeah, I'm with that lady Costco.
I was there last night, andI like the ice cream at Costco,
the big vanilla ice cream. Butit's too much, you know, you
get sick after a while. Theygive you like a ton of it.
Yeah, you can't stop eating it. It's because it's like a soft,

It's so good. Yeah. Theice cream at the food court.
And then the pizza is great too. Big slices, yep, big big
slices. I love it. Man. Costco's prices are going up though.
This bothers me. Costco is raisingprices on some of its most popular items
(20:22):
are report by eat this not thatshows the price of Kirkland's signature organic extra
virgin olive oil jumped from seventeen dollarsto twenty five dollars. What a title
on that olive oil shows the priceof Kirkland's signature organic extra virgin olive oil.
How about asking for that? Youknow, hey, excuse me?
Do you have the Kirkland signature organicextra virgin olive oil? Got almighty right?

Long title for that? That crap. Kirkland's signature organic extra virgin olive
oil. We just did an oliveoil tasting this past week. Got an
OHI we just went to an oliveoil tasting? What is next week?
Exactly? I didn't. I've neverbeen on one. They give you this
bread. You have all these differentkinds of olive oil and all these different
(21:06):
kinds of vinegar. They actually theolive oil is all from that you know,
olive oil region. Yeah, it'sthere from that farm or that really?
Yeah? And how much olive oilcan you choke down? Though?
I mean they give you just it'sa little bit in little cups. Is
it all different though? Little taste? It's all different and it's it's extremely
delicious, and of course I endedup buying a bunch of olive oil there
(21:29):
and vinegar. But it's all perfect. I mean, there's a whole process
by which olive oil is made,and maybe Costco gets really good to olive
oil too. I don't know.God, if it wasn't for gambling and
radio, I don't think you andI would have ever met. I've never
been. I've never been an oliveoil tasting before. It sounds like you
do. Courtney said, let's goto olive I said, I never been.
Don't even know what it is.You drove to o Hide for olive
(21:52):
oil, drove to to hang out, and you know, did you sleep
up there? Do you stay overnight? Yeah? Stay overnight? Beautiful hotel,
No, just a kind of Imean it's a nice hotel, but
it wasn't like you know, somerich Carlton thing really expensive two d night.
Well it's particularly expensive when you sayyou're going to go up one night
and then you don't go, andyou go there in the morning, but
you pay for the night before thatyou didn't go. Oh that's horrible.
That was brutal. Yeah, yeah, that's the worst. That was about
(22:15):
Yeah, so I took it prettyhard. Yeah, I mean I've been
there before. Yeah yeah, andyou're like, God Almighty, you can't
cut me a break on this,and they're like, no, no,
no, no, I just Ijust took the bullet. I didn't.
I did. George's studly driving allthe way up, you know, wasting
(22:36):
a night in the hotel for anolive oil contest. It was. That
was just one of the things goingon. It was very love O high
is beautiful. Yeah. What didit cost you to taste olive oil all
day? I think it wasn't expensive. And I think, honestly, it's
