The Morning Breeze, Morning Breeze on Demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Sergio Amndez. It's six point eighteen here on ninety eight
point one the Breeze. It's the Morning Breeze with Carolyn
and Court and it is time for the Morning Breeze
Brain Teas. You know, I spend half of my time
here at the Breeze scanning the globe for interesting information.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
You do spend a lot of time over there doing something,
and now I know that's what you've been doing.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Scanning the globe. Also is typing things into the World
Wide Web. And today I feel like you're not only
going to get a brain tease, but you're gonna also
get a history lesson.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Okay, Morning Breez Brain Teas is sponsored by Mike Council Plumbing.
You're in clean hands with Mike Council Plumbing. Visit them
at mcplumbing dot com. Today's question.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yes, you can usually get one of these for four
dollars or less in a grocery store, but in the
late seventeen hundreds it would cost as much as the
equivalent of today's twenty three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
This is crazy to me. I cannot wait to see
what this answer is Okay, we're in eight seven seven
nine eight one oh nine eight one. We've got Chuck
in Pleasant Hills standing by Chuck. What do you think
the answer is to today's brain tease? A dozen eggs?
A dozen eggs, although I feel like in the seventeen
hundreds everybody had chickens.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Also, where in the Bay Area are you buying a
dozen eggs for under four dollars?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Fair point? Court, good point? Good point.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, I think back in the seventeen hundreds, a dozen eggs.
I don't know how much it would cost, but definitely
not the equivalent of twenty three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Okay, tell us the answer, because I don't know this answer,
and I'm super curious.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Okay, So you can usually get one of these for
about four dollars or less today, But in the late
seventeen hundreds, if you wanted to buy a pineapple, it
would cost you about twenty three thousand dollars. What Yeah,
those were exotic fruit. Whoa weren't commonplace?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Who has twenty three thousand dollars for a pineapple? Henry
Dole was his name? Okay, leaned into that, Chuck, Welcome
to my morning every morning. Oh yeah, I listen every morning.
I know what you're up to. Oh I think you
mean up against Chuck, up against, up against all right,
(02:16):
keep it up. Thanks bye, Chuck, Bye Chuck, Bye bye.
I actually I just looked this up, Carolyn. It was
James Dole, not Henry Dole. Okay, the Morning Breeze Brain Tease,
we do it every weekday morning here at six.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Twenty and coming up this morning at seven forty, your
chance to win tickets to see Toto, who.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Will be at the Toyota Pavilon a conquered in just
a couple of weeks. I know, so exciting. The show
is August twenty fifth. It's Toto with Christopher Cross and
men at Work. It is a breezy, breezy show, sure is.
We're excited about it. We're going to be there as well.
And if you're here at seven forty, you're going to
have a chance to win tickets here on the Breeze
and Breeze it's time for the more. You know, some
(03:01):
nuggets of interesting information that you really didn't know who
you needed, but now you just can't wait to share
these things. Now. I am perplexed by what you are
about to share based on what you teased a minute ago.
Core it.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, So if you're still walking out to your mailbox
and you don't know what's going to be in it, yes,
you're living in twenty thirteen because that was the last
year where USPS Informed Delivery did not exist.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So you're saying basically that you can what, go to
the website for United States Postal Service and find out
what's being delivered to your mailbox. I appreciate using the
full name of our mail our post office. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
No, USPS Informed Delivery sends you an email every morning, no,
typically before nine o'clock, with a scanned image of at
least ten pieces of mail. If you receive more than ten,
then you have to log into the app get out
of here. But every single morning, because I'm the one
that signed up for it, in my household, my wife
(04:03):
will text me and she'll be like, Hey, is such
and such coming today, And I'll have to pull up
the email and I'll be like, whoop, yep, it's here.
I'll be like, Nope, it's not.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And this has been going on since twenty thirteen, twenty
so it launched in twenty fourteen, okay, and like in
select areas, and then in twenty seventeen it became kind
of nationwide. I have never heard this until this moment.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, and before we talked about it today, I want
to make sure that I wasn't, you know, yeah, talked
about something.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That wasn't readily available for everybody.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So most residential and business addresses can sign up for this.
Certain parts of the country, like in rural areas like
believe it or not, In some hometowns like are in
some small towns, you can just write court Johnson, such
and such Arkansas. I don't know why I'm saying Arkansas,
and the mail will just show up at your house
(04:54):
and you don't even have to put the regular your
normal address because it's so small.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
They just know where you are. So in that case
it wouldn't work trip. But again, most residential and business
addresses can do it. Can get it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You just go to USPS dot com. Yeah, look for
Inform Delivery. You type in your address there and it'll
actually tell you whether it's available or not.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Wow. What in pain for the person at the USPS
to have to take pictures that someone's mail and email
into that, Carolyn. It's not a person that's doing that.
I mean it's a machine. They're scanning. All this stuff
goes through a scanner anyway to sort it because it's
all being sorted by a machine now, so they just
they're just taking a picture of it and then the
(05:36):
computer does it. Well, apparently I'm stuck in twenty thirteen
when this started and I didn't know about it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It'll change your life. It's pretty great because especially if
you're if you're a business and you're looking for business
payments coming through, you can have an idea when they're
going to. Right.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
This is great for for people like me that never
check my mail. Oh and I mean never right, so
I can just go online find out what's sitting in
my mailbox and just say, hmmm, not today, not today
for your r It's sit one more day for your
mail carrier loves that. Really appreciate hearing that, all right.
The more you know, we do it every weekday morning
and sometimes as one of the hosts, I learn as well.
(06:13):
At six forty here on the Morning Breeze, you can
reach us at eight seven seven, nine one, nine eight one.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Coming up this morning at seven forty. If you haven't
heard all week long, we're gonna have your chance to
win tickets to not only see Toto in concert, but
Christopher Cross and Men at Work.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
The minute that I heard about this concert, I was like, Court,
do you want to go? And you said I said, heck, yes,
yes he did.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:38):

it is time for the Brighter Side, a chance for

Speaker 1 (07:14):
So kim Ya in Alameda, good morning. Tell us about
this great experience that you had.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I applied for a position. I spoke to a gentleman
as a program manager in the facility. I work for
and I asked for, like what questions I need to
prepare because he had an idea. So he told me,
like some sort of a situational examine I've preheard for,
and when I touched the chestist, it was exactly the
same questions that he told me. I went back to
(07:41):
him and I said, I just wanted to appreciate you
because how you helped me prepare for the test, because
I've meant to have the say, exact question that you
prepared me for, and I wanted to kind of like
be appreciative of what he did to me. And he said, no, Kimmia,
I don't want you to tell me that you're appreciated,
but just move on and continue to forward the same
(08:01):
attitude toward the next person.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
This is one of those classic pay it forward moments. Yeah,
it's sort of like an open book test where he's like,
I can't give you the questions, but I can help you, Yeah,
and then just go pay it forward, which is awesome.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yes, exactly. So he was really an angel to me.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I really love this story. What a good guy he is.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yes he is. I wanted to say that I really
love your program.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Oh my gosh, thank you, kim Yah. That's so nice.
We really appreciate calling in this morning anytime. I love
that she had that experience, Court, But even more than that,
I love that she recognizes like it's a pay it forward,
oh for sure moment and she needs to do that.
I think that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's like those great teachers you had that said, hey,
you're going to be tested on this. This is the
areas that you really should focus your study on. Exactly that. No,
that's great.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So if you've got a brighter side for us eight
seven seven nine eight one, nine eight one and coming
up next at seven twenty five this morning, we are
going to do ask us anything. And the question we
have received via email is a question that I personally,
Court cannot wait to hear your answer to this question.
(09:08):
I'm walking into this blind. I don't know what the
question is at all. I think I know what your
answer is going to be, but I want to hear
it on the air, oh the first time. Okay, So
ask us anything. Coming up seven twenty five here on
the Breeze. They are Genesis. It's seven twenty five, it
is the morning Breeze. Happy Monday to you. It's Carolyn
and Court in every weekday morning at seven twenty five,
(09:30):
we bring you ask us anything.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, perhaps you have something in your life that you
need to figure out. You can call in and ask
us some life lesson type stuff. We're happy to give
you our opinion. Maybe you've just got a home repair,
like a light bulb needs to be fixed, or then
call Court, then call me, well, probably call up. It
would be an ask if it's like an electrical issue,
called the electrician, ask an expert.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yes, but don't ask us. That sounds like a good
segment too. We're not experts at anything. No, that segment
already failed. All right, we're at eight seven, seven, nine
nine eight one. You can always send us a talk
back with our iHeartRadio app. In this case it's Joel
and Coopertino who sent us a direct message a DM.
He sent you because I haven't seen this question. I
was looping you into it just to make you feel better, Okay,
(10:17):
Joel says he listens every morning to our show on
the way to work. Thank you, Joel, thank you. He
loves hearing the different questions that we get for ask
us anything. So he says, I have a question I
want you to be honest. When you go to the
grocery store, do you and court return your carts to
the cart rack or do you leave your cart where
(10:37):
it is? That's a no brainer for me. I take
it back, take it back, I take it to the cart.
What is it a corral cart? Corral?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
So it's called I've never called it that, but sure
I think that's what it called.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That makes sense. Yeah, it's like your corral horses, and yeah,
the carts are just sitting there in the old corral,
just hanging out. Hit them up eating. Hey, yeah, no,
I do it every time. As a matter of fact.
If I see that somebody has left their cart just
in the middle of nowhere where it could hit a car,
you'll go return that that cart to the corral. Yeah. Yeah,
I return it every single time.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And I also have this move that I do sometimes
if I see somebody else returning it to the corral
and I'm walking into the store, I'll be like, Okay,
I'll just take that for you and I'll use that
cart for my shopping.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That is so nice.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It's kind of a power move because a you're doing
a nice thing for them. Yeah, And that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And you look good, you look nice. You do look nice,
and it seems like it's kind of a dad move too,
like hey, you got your cart there, let me get
it for you. Yep, you know, court as you like
to tell the story about back in the day when
you worked in the movie theater and you were a
movie theater manager. That's right, I once manage a movie theater.
I love to go back to my days as to
when I was a bagger, a courtesy clerk if you will,
(11:52):
at Lucky Supermarkets back in the day, and one of
my favorite things to do was to get those carts,
to see how many carts I could get. You know
how they back them together. OG's that long line of.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Carts unassisted because now they have those little motorized carts.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
That's that's cheating. Yeah, that is absolutely cheating. Ogs. We
didn't cheat. We line those things back and we could
maneuver those through the parking lot. It was an art.
I'll tell you what, kids, It was an art anyway.
It's ask us anything. We do it every weekday morning
here at seven twenty five. It was not expecting that flex.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, no, it felt good. I got fired up again.
So if you haven't heard coming up in just a
few minutes, seven forty. So let me look at the time.
Here about twelve minutes from right now. Your chance to
win tickets to see not only Toyot Toto, but Christopher
Cross and men at work at the Toyota Pavilion at Conquered.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
What a bill. Yes, so exciting. I drove past the
Toyota Pavilion at Conquered over the weekend and I saw
the sign with the ad on their little display sign.
I was like, here they come.

And we'll have another chance to win, same time tomorrow,
seven forty your chance to win Toto tickets. Here on
the Morning Breef. It's music from Faith Hill at eighth nine.
Here on ninety eight point one the Breeze. It's the
Morning Breeze with Carolyn.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And So I was saying a minute ago that I
gave somebody a birthday gift recently and it totally backfired.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
How does giving somebody a gift backfire on you? Unless
what did you give this person for a gift, Carolyn?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So, what happened was I was invited to a surprise
party for somebody who I kind of know, and I
didn't know what to get this person, and I kicked
the can down the road until the day of and
I thought, now I'm stuck. I got to get something.
Here's where I took a wrong turn. I thought to myself,
(14:35):
there's gonna be a ton of people at this party. Yeah,
so I can just give a gift, leave it on
the gift table and that person won't know who gave what.
You know how that goes? Sure, you never know at
the end of those parties who gave what. So I
went to the store and I got a bottle of
wine because I know this person likes wine. Did I
spend a lot on that bottle? Nope, I did not.
(14:58):
I did not, and I put the bottle on the
gift table. This person happens to work with us. So
fast forward to the week after the party. The person
comes in and says, I'm trying to figure out who
gave me what. I've got everything except for this one thing,
which was not my gift, which means this person she
(15:18):
figured it out, figured out that I gave And I
have to wonder if this person is going to go
online and look at the price of because a lot
of people gave this person wine, she gave her wine,
and I have to wonder if she went online looked
and looked at the price and it was And I
(15:39):
love this coworker of ours, but I was running late.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I know of the person of which you speak, and
I can't imagine her going through and actually cataloging, like
trying to track down the you know, the amount spent
on those gifts.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think people do that, but maybe people do. BATTLE
think she does. I think she's like, oh, this is great, Okay,
here there was a decent. There's a bottle of wine.
I can gift to somebody else. That's fine. I just
want to check the box that I gave a gift.
But then when she came in and she said, I'm
trying to figure out who gave what and I've got
(16:20):
it all covered, I died inside a little bit in
that moment. And I wanted to say, here's where it
gets worse, and I'll leave you with this. I wanted
to say, oh, I hope you love the wine that
I gave you because it's one of my favorites. But
then I thought she'd say, which one did you give
me again? And I go, I don't know what the
bread like, I don't know, you don't remember whether you
bought her. No, I just shot based on price and convenience.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So you didn't go top shelf, you didn't go middle shelf,
you had bottom shop.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I don't I sound like I panicked. I grabbed a bottle,
and here we are. There's nothing. There's I'm not even
asking for advice, there's nothing left to say. I just
had to say it out loud to get it off
my chest because severe regrets on that gift.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It was.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It was like a good lesson. That's what you get
for waiting for the last minute to purchase.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
No, I know what did you give. It's really nice, thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I think I also did a bottle of wine. But
I got it on sale at Costco.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh wait a minute, okay, so wait, you're kind of
in the same.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
But but it was I remember what it was. It
was the Frank family friend. Oh that's a nice I know,
but it was it was on sale it to Costco.
So okay, poor person. Well let's hope she doesn't look
at the at the price. But Frank family, I could
tell you, Oh, yes, all right, we're at eight seven
seven nine eight one nine eight one. Send us a
message anytime with our iHeartRadio app. And that talkback microphone

Inform Delivery. You type in your address there and it'll
actually tell you whether it's available or not.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Wow. What in pain for the person at the USPS
to have to take pictures that someone's mail and email
into that, Carolyn. It's not a person that's doing that.
I mean it's a machine. They're scanning. All this stuff
goes through a scanner anyway to sort it because it's
all being sorted by a machine now, so they just
they're just taking a picture of it and then the
(05:36):
computer does it. Well, apparently I'm stuck in twenty thirteen
when this started and I didn't know about it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It'll change your life. It's pretty great because especially if
you're if you're a business and you're looking for business
payments coming through, you can have an idea when they're
going to. Right.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
This is great for for people like me that never
check my mail. Oh and I mean never right, so
I can just go online find out what's sitting in
my mailbox and just say, hmmm, not today, not today
for your r It's sit one more day for your
mail carrier loves that. Really appreciate hearing that, all right.

So kim Ya in Alameda, good morning. Tell us about
this great experience that you had.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I applied for a position. I spoke to a gentleman
as a program manager in the facility. I work for
and I asked for, like what questions I need to
prepare because he had an idea. So he told me,
like some sort of a situational examine I've preheard for,
and when I touched the chestist, it was exactly the
same questions that he told me. I went back to
(07:41):
him and I said, I just wanted to appreciate you
because how you helped me prepare for the test, because
I've meant to have the say, exact question that you
prepared me for, and I wanted to kind of like
be appreciative of what he did to me. And he said, no, Kimmia,
I don't want you to tell me that you're appreciated,
but just move on and continue to forward the same
(08:01):
attitude toward the next person.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
This is one of those classic pay it forward moments. Yeah,
it's sort of like an open book test where he's like,
I can't give you the questions, but I can help you, Yeah,
and then just go pay it forward, which is awesome.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yes, exactly. So he was really an angel to me.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I really love this story. What a good guy he is.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yes he is. I wanted to say that I really
love your program.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Oh my gosh, thank you, kim Yah. That's so nice.
We really appreciate calling in this morning anytime. I love
that she had that experience, Court, But even more than that,
I love that she recognizes like it's a pay it forward,
oh for sure moment and she needs to do that.
I think that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's like those great teachers you had that said, hey,
you're going to be tested on this. This is the
areas that you really should focus your study on. Exactly that. No,
that's great.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So if you've got a brighter side for us eight
seven seven nine eight one, nine eight one and coming
up next at seven twenty five this morning, we are
going to do ask us anything. And the question we
have received via email is a question that I personally,
Court cannot wait to hear your answer to this question.
(09:08):
I'm walking into this blind. I don't know what the
question is at all. I think I know what your
answer is going to be, but I want to hear
it on the air, oh the first time. Okay, So
ask us anything. Coming up seven twenty five here on
the Breeze. They are Genesis. It's seven twenty five, it
is the morning Breeze. Happy Monday to you. It's Carolyn
and Court in every weekday morning at seven twenty five,
(09:30):
we bring you ask us anything.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, perhaps you have something in your life that you
need to figure out. You can call in and ask
us some life lesson type stuff. We're happy to give
you our opinion. Maybe you've just got a home repair,
like a light bulb needs to be fixed, or then
call Court, then call me, well, probably call up. It
would be an ask if it's like an electrical issue,
called the electrician, ask an expert.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yes, but don't ask us. That sounds like a good
segment too. We're not experts at anything. No, that segment
already failed. All right, we're at eight seven, seven, nine
nine eight one. You can always send us a talk
back with our iHeartRadio app. In this case it's Joel
and Coopertino who sent us a direct message a DM.
He sent you because I haven't seen this question. I
was looping you into it just to make you feel better, Okay,
(10:17):
Joel says he listens every morning to our show on
the way to work. Thank you, Joel, thank you. He
loves hearing the different questions that we get for ask
us anything. So he says, I have a question I
want you to be honest. When you go to the
grocery store, do you and court return your carts to
the cart rack or do you leave your cart where
(10:37):
it is? That's a no brainer for me. I take
it back, take it back, I take it to the cart.
What is it a corral cart? Corral?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
So it's called I've never called it that, but sure
I think that's what it called.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That makes sense. Yeah, it's like your corral horses, and yeah,
the carts are just sitting there in the old corral,
just hanging out. Hit them up eating. Hey, yeah, no,
I do it every time. As a matter of fact.
If I see that somebody has left their cart just
in the middle of nowhere where it could hit a car,
you'll go return that that cart to the corral. Yeah. Yeah,
I return it every single time.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And I also have this move that I do sometimes
if I see somebody else returning it to the corral
and I'm walking into the store, I'll be like, Okay,
I'll just take that for you and I'll use that
cart for my shopping.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
That is so nice.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It's kind of a power move because a you're doing
a nice thing for them. Yeah, And that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
And you look good, you look nice. You do look nice,
and it seems like it's kind of a dad move too,
like hey, you got your cart there, let me get
it for you. Yep, you know, court as you like
to tell the story about back in the day when
you worked in the movie theater and you were a
movie theater manager. That's right, I once manage a movie theater.
I love to go back to my days as to
when I was a bagger, a courtesy clerk if you will,
(11:52):
at Lucky Supermarkets back in the day, and one of
my favorite things to do was to get those carts,
to see how many carts I could get. You know
how they back them together. OG's that long line of.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Carts unassisted because now they have those little motorized carts.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
That's that's cheating. Yeah, that is absolutely cheating. Ogs. We
didn't cheat. We line those things back and we could
maneuver those through the parking lot. It was an art.
I'll tell you what, kids, It was an art anyway.
It's ask us anything. We do it every weekday morning
here at seven twenty five. It was not expecting that flex.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, no, it felt good. I got fired up again.
So if you haven't heard coming up in just a
few minutes, seven forty. So let me look at the time.

seven forty your chance to win Toto tickets. Here on
the Morning Breef. It's music from Faith Hill at eighth nine.
Here on ninety eight point one the Breeze. It's the
Morning Breeze with Carolyn.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And So I was saying a minute ago that I
gave somebody a birthday gift recently and it totally backfired.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
How does giving somebody a gift backfire on you? Unless
what did you give this person for a gift, Carolyn?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So, what happened was I was invited to a surprise
party for somebody who I kind of know, and I
didn't know what to get this person, and I kicked
the can down the road until the day of and
I thought, now I'm stuck. I got to get something.
Here's where I took a wrong turn. I thought to myself,
(14:35):
there's gonna be a ton of people at this party. Yeah,
so I can just give a gift, leave it on
the gift table and that person won't know who gave what.
You know how that goes? Sure, you never know at
the end of those parties who gave what. So I
went to the store and I got a bottle of
wine because I know this person likes wine. Did I
spend a lot on that bottle? Nope, I did not.
(14:58):
I did not, and I put the bottle on the
gift table. This person happens to work with us. So
fast forward to the week after the party. The person
comes in and says, I'm trying to figure out who
gave me what. I've got everything except for this one thing,
which was not my gift, which means this person she
(15:18):
figured it out, figured out that I gave And I
have to wonder if this person is going to go
online and look at the price of because a lot
of people gave this person wine, she gave her wine,
and I have to wonder if she went online looked
and looked at the price and it was And I
(15:39):
love this coworker of ours, but I was running late.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I know of the person of which you speak, and
I can't imagine her going through and actually cataloging, like
trying to track down the you know, the amount spent
on those gifts.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think people do that, but maybe people do. BATTLE
think she does. I think she's like, oh, this is great, Okay,
here there was a decent. There's a bottle of wine.
I can gift to somebody else. That's fine. I just
want to check the box that I gave a gift.
But then when she came in and she said, I'm
trying to figure out who gave what and I've got
(16:20):
it all covered, I died inside a little bit in
that moment. And I wanted to say, here's where it
gets worse, and I'll leave you with this. I wanted
to say, oh, I hope you love the wine that
I gave you because it's one of my favorites. But
then I thought she'd say, which one did you give
me again? And I go, I don't know what the
bread like, I don't know, you don't remember whether you
bought her. No, I just shot based on price and convenience.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
So you didn't go top shelf, you didn't go middle shelf,
you had bottom shop.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I don't I sound like I panicked. I grabbed a bottle,
and here we are. There's nothing. There's I'm not even
asking for advice, there's nothing left to say. I just
had to say it out loud to get it off
my chest because severe regrets on that gift.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
It was.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
It was like a good lesson. That's what you get
for waiting for the last minute to purchase.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
No, I know what did you give. It's really nice, thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I think I also did a bottle of wine. But
I got it on sale at Costco.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh wait a minute, okay, so wait, you're kind of
in the same.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
But but it was I remember what it was. It
was the Frank family friend. Oh that's a nice I know,
but it was it was on sale it to Costco.
So okay, poor person. Well let's hope she doesn't look
at the at the price. But Frank family, I could
tell you, Oh, yes, all right, we're at eight seven
