Transcripts

Speaker A:

Stella Lefty.

Speaker A:

Where do you stand on her sudden popularity?

Speaker B:

I am all about Stella Lefty.

Speaker A:

Me too.

Speaker B:

You are?

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Okay, we can agree on this.

Speaker B:

And I was really.

Speaker B:

I'm really happy that I am hip enough to know who you're talking about.

Speaker B:

But we were actually.

Speaker B:

We were on a vacation in Italy, of all things.

Speaker B:

And we were driving through Tuscany.

Speaker B:

The first time I heard that song on, like, my Amazon music.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

In our little rental car.

Speaker B:

And I immediately replayed it.

Speaker B:

I was like, what was that song?

Speaker B:

And by the time we got home, it was all over the radio.

Speaker B:

So, big fan of Boston over here.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

All right, Me too.

Speaker A:

Me too.

Speaker A:

I'm all in on her too.

Speaker A:

I like her a lot.

Speaker B:

She's.

Speaker A:

She's got a hook in me.

Speaker A:

I don't know why, but she does.

Speaker A:

She's got her claws into me for sure.

Speaker B:

Her voice must have a hook on everyone.

Speaker B:

Like, literally, it turns on and I tell everyone just to be quiet.

Speaker B:

Even though it's on the radio all the time now.

Speaker B:

I'm like, just listen to this song with me.

Speaker B:

All right, Krista, it is your turn.

Speaker B:

So it's officially back to school season here.

Speaker B:

My kids go back on Monday and I know many are going back to school or have already gone back to school.

Speaker B:

Let's say the parents are handed $500 for back to school shopping and they get one retail stop.

Speaker B:

This is retail related for you, Chris.

Speaker B:

What retailer do you think right now is getting that visit?

Speaker A:

Oh, my God, that's a tough one, Jen.

Speaker A:

I mean, I kind of go back to what you said about cheerleading too.

Speaker A:

Like, you know, I think if I was gonna spend the $500, I'd want it just for Amazon.

Speaker A:

Cause it's gonna make my life so much easier.

Speaker A:

I also think about the mall too.

Speaker A:

Like, if I wanna actually go clothes shopping, I go to the mall.

Speaker A:

So I wouldn't wanna pick one store.

Speaker A:

But I guess, you know, you know, in a plug for Target, which I've been hard on, I think I'd probably say Target too.

Speaker A:

Like, you know, if I just had one spot to go and 500 and I had to get everything in one spot, I think I'd still choose Target.

Speaker A:

Ultimately, overall, I think that it was.

Speaker B:

Interesting as I was thinking of this question, I was like, what would I pick?

Speaker B:

And, you know, different retailers came up for the school supplies.

Speaker B:

But someone that has the right kinds of apparel for my kids, ages, the supplies and all the things.

Speaker B:

Target was top of mind for me too.

Speaker B:

So that's really interesting.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I Just, you know, Jen, I'm curious.

Speaker A:

Do you think.

Speaker A:

Do you think parents shop that way, though, or do you think they, like, cherry pick and go where they need to for what they want?

Speaker B:

I think it is convenience.

Speaker B:

I mean, I'll just use myself as an example.

Speaker B:

Like, my daughter and I went to the outlet mall, and it was like, one day, three hours.

Speaker B:

We're gonna do the school shopping, but that was clothing.

Speaker B:

And then supplies were separate.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And we purchased our.

Speaker A:

Separated.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Most times in my fake world, you had to do it all at once.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Right, right, right.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

In your contrived question that you just asked me, I had to do it all at once.

Speaker A:

Right, right, right.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

That's cool.

Speaker A:

Great.

Speaker A:

That's great.

Speaker A:

All right, next one, Nothing but cakes.

Speaker A:

Is introducing a Galactic brownie cake a take or an homage to Little Debbie's Cosmic Brownies?

Speaker A:

Jen, what is your relationship with Little Debbie?

Speaker B:

What is my relationship with her?

Speaker B:

I would say slightly less serious than my relationship with Taco Bell, which is.

Speaker B:

Just kidding.

Speaker B:

I remember the cosmic Brownie.

Speaker B:

I get a little nostalgia when I see it.

Speaker B:

It wasn't really my thing.

Speaker B:

It's a little too dense for my liking on the brownies, on brownie preferences.

Speaker B:

But I do, when it comes to Little Debbie in general, I respect her.

Speaker B:

I think it's hilarious to think how often our parents or.

Speaker B:

Or the older generation was just handed Little Debbie cakes like they were at all good for us.

Speaker B:

But I. Oatmeal cream pies were my go to.

Speaker B:

If it comes to the Little Debbie.

Speaker B:

Oh, geez.

Speaker B:

I think an oatmeal cream pie wins on my end.

Speaker B:

What about you?

Speaker A:

All right, all right.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

My.

Speaker A:

My mom used to put those in my sack lunch all the time.

Speaker B:

All the time.

Speaker A:

I never liked them.

Speaker A:

I never liked them that much.

Speaker A:

They were always kind of like, okay, yeah, they're kind of.

Speaker A:

It's kind of like, kiss, Eat a Little Debbie's, like, kissing your sister.

Speaker A:

To me, it's like.

Speaker A:

It's like a dessert, but it's like, it's not.

Speaker A:

It's not like something I really enjoy, you know?

Speaker B:

So you had a.

Speaker B:

You had a mature palette for a young kid, because, man, we were, like, devouring those things.

Speaker B:

Even if we didn't like them.

Speaker B:

We were just like, yes.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Or a picky palate.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I think I had a picky.

Speaker B:

Palette probably, but my poor kids get cucumbers in their lunch.

Speaker A:

Oh, nice.

Speaker B:

No Little Debbie cakes for them.

Speaker A:

I feel.

Speaker A:

I feel bad for them.

Speaker B:

Jen, don't worry.

Speaker B:

Every now and then Kids, they'll be just fine.

Speaker B:

Wait until they hear how much I love Taco Bell.

Speaker B:

All right, Chris, so last question for you.

Speaker B:

We personally do a family NFL fantasy league every year at our house.

Speaker B:

It's really fun.

Speaker B:

We all get involved, and the draft is coming up, I think, this weekend for us.

Speaker B:

So let's say you are part of a fantasy league yourself.

Speaker B:

Maybe you can tell us if you are.

Speaker B:

But you get the number one pick in your fantasy draft this year.

Speaker B:

Who are you?

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

That's pretty easy for me.

Speaker A:

I'm going.

Speaker A:

I'm going homegrown here.

Speaker A:

I'm going Tucson, Arizona's own South Point.

Speaker A:

High School's own Bijan Robinson.

Speaker A:

That's who I'm taking.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I know he's on your radar screen, who you go with.

Speaker B:

It's tough.

Speaker B:

I know I won't get the number one pick, so I don't have to really run through these scenarios, but I'm kind of crazy.

Speaker B:

I like to go with the quarterback sometimes as the first pick, and everyone tells me I'm nuts.

Speaker B:

And they go for the running backs and the receivers.

Speaker B:

I would say I might go.

Speaker B:

Jeez, I'm not sure.

Speaker B:

Chris, this is okay.

Speaker A:

You got some homework to do before your draft.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's what I'm hearing.

Speaker A:

That's what I'm hearing.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I think I'm going to go.

Speaker B:

Gibbs.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

I'm going to go.

Speaker B:

Gibbs.

Speaker A:

Gibbs.

Speaker A:

Oh, okay.

Speaker A:

Nice.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

That's just recently paid in Detroit.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

Yes.
