Speaker 2 (00:39):

Speaker 3 (00:39):
So Christian is thirteen and so ten years can make
can make a big difference in terms of how kids
are being raised and culturally what they expect. And I
said to MINDI, I was ticked off last night, but
I think I'm not alone. I was coming home at
ten thirty. I have bread, I have hamburger buns. I
have ham I have cheese in the refrigerator. I have
(01:03):
tortilla chips, I have apple sauce, and they were like,
can you pick up Chick fil a or maybe McDonald.
I said, you should have made dinner for yourselves hours ago,
and they had just had Jets pizza for lunch.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I had picked up pizza for lunch.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Oh, they're going to double dip.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And the night before they had Chipotle with their dad.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
And so I said, no, I'm not getting you anything.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I'm not getting you anything.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
But what's happening right now and talking to teenager parents,
is that these kids they want to spend their own
money on going out to get fast food or door dash,
and there's an expectation that you're going to bring it home.
And I don't think I'm raising kids like that, but
it pisses me off. I'm going to say it because
(01:48):
they are calling me up non stop, and I'm like,
you're eating at home.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You're eating at home.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Why do they not want to eat at home that
you do? I mean, do they not like the food?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So I will tell you, and I've worked for twenty
years on this. I'm a pretty good cook. Like if
I do say so myself, we make good meals.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You know what I can remember going through that with
my kids. Now. I was not nearly and I never
will be the cook that my mom was. They would
eat all day long at my mom's house, no matter
what she made me. No, they they would always can
we go? There's nothing in this house to eat? Can
we go in the house to eat? And yeah, so
they did, asked that they did. But I don't remember
it really ever being a problem because they probably knew
(02:27):
I wasn't going to spend the money, so I had
to suck it up the money. I mean, we would
go over once in a while. Obviously it's fast food.
It's convenient near on the run a lot, but not
every day like that. You know how unhealthy unhealthy that
is to eat fast food.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And I haven't a weight right and he's not, and
you know, his skin does not look amazing right now.
And I keep trying to tell that food a lot
of that is fast food and the other stuff that
you're eating.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, no, no, you just got to tell them that
this is what this is what you're making, this is
what you're eating.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And this is what you're having.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
But if they order it on their own or take
their bikes, you.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Know what they've been doing.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
They've been taking their bikes and they take their bikes
to McDonald's to get a five dollars meal deal. Yeah,
that's not good, no, and so and they take birthday
money to do it, you know. And I'm like, why
are you spending your birthday money on fast thing?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's a tough thing. Ma I me it days their money,
But you are their mom, and you know what's right
and what's wrong. So I looked up a little study.
What do you think is and this might surprise you,
what's the percentage of US kids aged two to nineteen
eating fast food on a given day? But now this
is between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Twenty given day? What percentage?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yes, between twenty twenty one and twenty three.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Okay, so it's a little bit older, but not too old.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I would say during that time period coming out of COVID,
I'm going to say twenty five to thirty percent day.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You're good, thirty percent. Isn't that so wrong?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Though?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Thirty percent on any given day between two year old
and nineteen year old two to nineteen.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
People sal eating chicken fingers and chicken nuggets. That's the
other thing this group does. They have no palette as
much as you try to introduce it, and it's all
fast food.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Chicken fingers.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Now, another group that continuously eats fast food, Yeah, young
adults age twenty to thirty nine, specifically men in the
South will eat more fast food. I don't know, you
looked at me like I'm crazy. I don't know why
it says that, but young adults between the ages of
twenty to thirty nine, specifically young men in the South
(04:31):
are among the most frequent fast food customers in the
United States of America.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
This is my pondering face actually, like I'm trying to think,
like why why because.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
It's first of all, it's convenient. It tastes good. I mean,
when's the last time we've had fast food that didn't
taste good? But a lot of.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Times coming home from Indian Like we went through the McDonald's.
We went through the McDonald's drive through because we hadn't
eaten much after we had like I had a taco,
she had two with you, and we had cold fries.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Oh that's the worst.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
So yeah, that was terrible cold fries from the Marysville McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Anyway, can tell you, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It was the Indian Lake McDonalds.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, it's not the name McDonalds, which sits.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Right on the water, and they have being goo with
that McDonald's too. Of course they do.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Of course they do.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So I don't know what the answer is except you
just got to put your foot down.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Do your kids at this point?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
So they didn't ask you at the time, and currently
they don't badger you about it.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
No, they just do their own thing now. But I
will say this, because Cammie's living at home. She goes
to the grocery store and buys all of her own
food and she cooks, and she's twenty You can't compare
Cammy to your boys yet. No, she's twenty two years old.
But she's really by being in an athlete at Ohio State,
it really has taught her how to eat healthy.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I remember when Coach two K came in and was
talking about their nutrition program and all of that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And she learned that and she learns from that. So
she'll make these salads, she'll make things and box up
lunches to take with her for the next week. She
really yeah, but yeah, she does meal prep and she
is very Hell's conscious.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
She is, Chris, You're a single guy, I want to
hear what you have to say about.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
This between the ages of twenty and thirty nine.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Yeah, so, well, like, what do you think about this,
what is going on with the demand for this, and
what's your take on it as a single guy between
those ages.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Well, I'm going a diet right now, so my appetite
and everything has changed, and what I eat is different
now and I'm doing more more meal prepping like Cami does.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Prior to that. How was it going? And what about
your friends?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
It's kind of all over the place. I have one
friend who's very into bodybuilding, so he is like, probably
has a stricter diet than CAMMI does, and his like
his lifting schedule and everything along with working a full
time job. And then I have a lot of my
friends were athletes, so they still have the athlete you know, metabolisms,
(06:52):
even the like one was a soccer player, one played basketball.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Well what if they weren't like the other friends who
maybe aren't athletic. Oh man, it's their go.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
To or is it just easy gone out?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I have one friend who we give him crap for
this because he works from home, so he orders he
ordered a smoothie one time for lunch and it cost
him twenty bucks and we had to give him crap
for that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Door Dash the door dashes in the Uber Eat to
the world.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Now, I would never I've never ordered door Dash for myself.
I've never ordered Ubergerts. I've only ordered Uber Eats for
a friend of mine who was living in California to
give her a birthday gift something. Oh yeah, I order
something like that. But for myself, I would never. Never.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It is such a I feel like the kids just
have no appreciation for the money or the health of it.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
My teek, easy come, easy go. So yeah, it really
is in. It is just in my crawl today.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
As some people would say, it is just in other friends,
girlfriends who are about have kids my age are just
like feeling the same that I talk to.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Do your kids buy at school or do they pack
a lunch? Do you pack their lunch?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
They buy at school every day, nearly every day?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well then no, mctaylor. Then they're really getting think about
that they're eating. Well, is that school pretty healthy?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Fairly? But it's not like I mean different, So you
you have to.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
To get like chips and the other more processed things
that aren't like USDA school lunch. You have to be
it costs more than your typical daily plan. So they're
on the typical.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Daily plant believe they never packed.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But they get like it. They I've tried, I've tried.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I mean, they want to lunch a bowl, which is
just as bad for you as some of this other stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
So no, so but maybe this is a good point.
Maybe so they're eating out of school. Yep, I get
what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So now it's like, think of how many times a
week they're not eating good, healthy, home cooked You've made
your You've made a really good point.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I think it also comes from I grew up in
an Italian household with a mom who's like, you know,
big Italian ditto. So she cooked most of the time.
She cooked, She cooked dinners at home. Even though she
as a teacher, she still cooks something.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
But I do that like I cook, And I told
Mindy I cook pretty well at least Marcus, I think.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So it must be.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
It must be like whatever generations.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's not a taco though.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It is.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I really do think it is like a late Gen
Z early Gen Alpha thing.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I do. I think you're right about that.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well, I hope you find the solutions that you're looking for.
But just put your foot down your there, mom.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I did last night.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Good. We'll keep doing that. And you know what, packed
the darn lunches. Tell them, you guys are gonna eat
like this through like through whatever. You're gonna eat what
I make you for lunch in school? Why don't you pack?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Because they didn't need it and they threw it out.
And I found out they were throwing it out.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Well, they can't go all day with Starvey, suck it up.
They have to do it.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I know, I agree with you. It's it's not easy.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Speaking of eating, guess where Cammy and her friends are
right now?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Cranberries.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
No, no, no, that's a good. Guess where do we go?
Lapaya the Mexican Oh my.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Gosh, they have a Beria taco there. Like I had
the Beria taco that was so good.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I was so glad I ate it because we didn't
really eat dinner until midnight.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, that whole environment that was a Mexican restaurant that
it was very They.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Were talking, they were trying to figure out what we
were trying to say in English and they were talking
in Spanish.

to be legit and whoo all right. We got more
ticket giveaways coming up to the show, to the show,
