- 0:00Speaker 1: Okay, I need to tell you two cents. Coy's two
- 0:05Speaker 1: pretty cool things.
- 0:07Speaker 2: We'll Producer Kristen gave me this story because I just
- 0:09Speaker 2: got back from Ireland. So a Guinness drinker and I
- 0:12Speaker 2: drank a lot of Guinness, used an AI bot to
- 0:15Speaker 2: create an index of what bars in Ireland are charging
- 0:19Speaker 2: for their most famous beer, which of course is guinness.
- 0:21Speaker 2: He got fed up. He kept going to a bar
- 0:23Speaker 2: like this is way too high. So Matt Cortland is
- 0:25Speaker 2: his name, and he had the AI bot named Rachel,
- 0:28Speaker 2: called three thousand pubs across the nation and asked about
- 0:31Speaker 2: the price of a pint of guinness. Of the three
- 0:34Speaker 2: thousand calls, two thousand and fifty two were answered, and
- 0:37Speaker 2: more than one thousand pubminders told Rachel that the price
- 0:41Speaker 2: of their guinness and then I'll go through the numbers
- 0:44Speaker 2: here in a second. But Rachel logged its findings, which
- 0:47Speaker 2: Courtland used to create the index, a consumer price index
- 0:52Speaker 2: for a pint of guinness across Ireland. So here we go.
- 0:56Speaker 2: He was paying nine dollars for a pint, right, and
- 0:59Speaker 2: that this is what got him going on this. He's like,
- 1:01Speaker 2: I got to figure out what's.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Going on here?
- 1:02Speaker 2: Yeah. He found out that the average charge is six
- 1:05Speaker 2: dollars and seventy five cents. So he called out his
- 1:09Speaker 2: watering hole and said, you know what are you doing?
- 1:11Speaker 2: And the lowest was three dollars at a bar your Belfast, Ireland.
- 1:17Speaker 2: But again the highest was ten dollars at Temple Bar
- 1:20Speaker 2: in Dublin, the famous bar.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Yes it's famous.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Or put my foot in there for one second too
- 1:25Speaker 2: quiet and I stepped out. But he found out the
- 1:26Speaker 2: average is six to seventy five for a Guinness. That's
- 1:29Speaker 2: a lot of work.
- 1:30Speaker 1: He's paying a lot.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, all right, what's your cool thing?
- 1:33Speaker 1: Well, it's about dark chocolate. Hopefully you have some around
- 1:36Speaker 1: the house, you know, because the Easter bunny was just
- 1:38Speaker 1: here to prepare it with guinness. Maybe not for the kids,
- 1:43Speaker 1: but for all of us. Dark chocolate is really good.
- 1:46Speaker 1: We hear from another dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic that
- 1:49Speaker 1: dark chocolate can decrease the chances of suffering a heart
- 1:52Speaker 1: attack and stroke, and also has less sugar than other chocolates.

- 2:01Speaker 1: one square piece of dark chocolate or one ounce of
- 2:04Speaker 1: it per day. Good luck with that. Far best kind,
