  Speaker 1: It's a texting related conversation. We'll get to them a

  Speaker 1: little bit, but first, some hilarity I'm hoping from Jimmy
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Fallon on the Tonight Show last night. Well, guys, we're
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: heading into flu season. But great news.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: The FDA just authorized the first over the counter combination
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: COVID nineteen and flu test.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this test really does it all. Check out this commercial.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: The FDA's new combination COVID test is quick, reliable, and
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: easy to use. Simply collect your sample, drop it onto
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: the test strip, wait thirty minutes, and view year results.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: The first line is the control line. A second line
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: means you have COVID. A third line means you have
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: the flu. Four lines means common cold, five lines means scurvy,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Six lines congress you're pregnant. Seven lines means you're not pregnant,

  Speaker 3: crush likes you back. Nine lines means you're such a
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: scorpioes means your friend Gary wants you to text him back.

  Speaker 2: Text Gary back and no lines means you're dead.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: The new COVID and Crew tests now available at CBS
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: in our pre easter aisle.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: That was amazing. They're pre easter asle. The way they
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: do that at those big convenience stores. Oh my god,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: just overwhelming amounts of whatever the next holiday is going
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to be, right.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Right, it's a seasonal aisles.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I was amazed by the things you can or can't
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: find at like a CBS or a Walgreens. I'm often
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: shocked that, wow, they have this, and often shocked that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: they don't have this. Yeah, you know, like I need
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: some automotive to something or other, and they have that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: than some other normal household thing I think, and they
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: don't carry that for some reason.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I'm still lunged away by how early Christmas stuff starts
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: popping up each year.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It's like creeping in closer to the summer. Yeah. That
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that has been a point of humor, like my whole
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: adult life. But it's reached so much absurdity now that
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I don't even it's practically year round. Yeah. Costco especially,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and I often think that, you know, they're a for
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: profit business and very smart, and they've got a tremendous
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: amount of data. I assume they wouldn't put the Halloween
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: stuff in there as soon as they take out the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: fourth of July stuff unless it works somehow.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Oh sure, right, Yeah, they have a certain amount of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: floor space and they've done the data analysis. It's like
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: CBS or Walgreens or whatever with the season allisles. It's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: just nobody goes there. Nobody goes shopping there to buy
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Halloween decorations. But you see something the cute as an
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: impulse buy, they must make it work and you.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Get your combination COVID flu test and head on home.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: A lot of companies now do the Christmas in July thing,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Christmas in July sales. I don't know why that irritates
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: me so much.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: They start selling Christmas products in July. It's just like
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Black Friday in July. It's that's their thing. It's hey,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: it's Christmas in July, and they just think it's the
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: greatest thing.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know why it annoys you in particular, Katie,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: but you're an old soul. I just what what occurred
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to me when I was raising my kids? And this
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: is such a weird example, but it works for me.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: We used to in my generation wait all year for
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the Christmas specials, the kids Christmas specials, Charlie Brown, Christmas Rudolph,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you know the rest of them. Yeah, Frosty, the dialed
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: back Snowman.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm Frosty, I Q.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: You're what was the one with the heat Miser? And uh,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it doesn't matter.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Uh, but we used to Weiser the Abominable Snowman. Was
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it its own thing?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: No, but of course the Grinch and uh and and
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and yeah, the heat Miser and like the Winter Warlock,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Santa Claus is coming to town, I think right any
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that had the hot puppet chick in it his love interest.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Whoo man, they spent some time on her wood. They
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: carved it up right anyway, stop action sexy, That's what
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I say.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Where were we he is talking about a puppet? Folks,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: here we go.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Oh but we'd wait all year for that, and then
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it would be a very special thing. And then when
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: my kids were little, we just bought the VHS tapes
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and everything is available all the time, and the concept
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of the rhythms of the year unfolding just it's gone away.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Now it's everything all the time, which I think is
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: part of the reason people are so crazy.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the everything bagel for anybody who's seen the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: movie that won the all the Oscars, everything everywhere, all
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: at once, m everything bagel. Yeah, I know. And I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: can't tell if it's important or not. I really can't.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I know I preferred one or the other, but I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's just a tiny, niche example of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: something that changed for the worst but it doesn't have
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: any overall meeting, or if it says you say, it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: just all of life has become that. I don't know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: It's the second one.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And here's my evidence as usual, and maybe this is
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: backward reasoning. I don't know. But human beings for millions
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: of years saw life unfold in a certain rhythm. We're
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: made for that. We're not made to be shopping for
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: parkas in June or throwing on an extra zebra fer
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: or whatever we have been. We have been, you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: part of the turning of the seasons since mankind crawled
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: out of the primority you lose or evolved from the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: minky or whatever your particular view of of early man is.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: It's all about the rhythm of the year unfolding it
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: now not anymore.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It's why we're so cuckoo. You couldn't go to the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: village elders and say, let's do the harvest dance. It's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: not harvest danced. There were six months away from the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: harvest time.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Why do we have to wait six months through the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: harvest dance. Let's do it. It's a great dance.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: And with the way you shake your leg and then
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you shake your leg. No, no, no, it's not harvest.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Get back in your hunt or whatever right you have.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: It's enough. Are you a very complicated view of evolution
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: or something? I don't know what it is.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Or don't you have a mammoth tusk to polish or
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: something else? I don't know a lot about prehistoric men.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I think you need to reread Sapiens perhaps out all right,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: don't you have an arrowhead to craft?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You're on the arrowhead committee. Get to get to sharpen
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: or them with your with your stone axe.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: M I agree?
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Coming soon the Labor Days sale in February. Yeah, well,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I guess that's it.
