But I think that a grocery store date as a teen Is great because you don’t have any money to spend and you’re just trying to create an experience, you know? It’s unexpected. It seems creative. Let’s walk around this. Oh yeah, you could. The downfall is that you turn it into an actual shopping trip. But that’s how you judge the other person, I think. Yep.

Yo, you hack, you’re hacking through that armpit hair. Costco sells caskets. Yep. That’s obviously true. Yep. I knew. I know that’s true. Why don’t, why, why wouldn’t they? I know that’s true.

I feel, feel like when you spent a good portion of your life as one, you can say it all. All Trader Joe’s. All Trader Joe’s employees have to go through a short small talk training program where they’re taught the art of friendly and engaging customer interactions. Trader Joe’s, you said? Yeah. Oh yes.

We’re just cogs in the great wheel of capitalism. I’ve started wearing my earphones. Oh, that’s good. Into the grocery store. Yeah. Those are the best. I wear the cans. It, it, it’s so much more fun to go into the grocery store and shop around in your own little world listening to your own little thing. Yeah. And that way you can’t, you can’t hear when people say excuse me, for you to get outta the way. Yeah, that makes me so anxious. Or like, how’s your, how’s your day? Like when going on a walk with headphones in makes me anxious because I feel like, What about transparent mode? Gonna transparent mode. Someone’s gonna what? Hit you? Like, I’m gonna get hit by a car or like, Transparent mode. I don’t know what that means. Stevie! Don’t let him shame you, Stevie. Transparent mode! I mean, I know what it means. Think a lot of people back here, I’m not dumb. Don’t him shame know what that means. No, it just means you have the noise canceling on or not.

When Giant Eagle, a grocery store chain in the Midwest and northeast Giant Eagle? Was first founded, each store had an actual eagle on display in their stores in a zoo-certified eagle habitat. I really hope this is true. Was it a giant eagle? I think there, there’s I feel bad for the eagle though. Yeah. This is, Let’s just say the Eagles look, Eagles like to fly. This is not, this is not a good look. No. Let me tell you a little something About, but I think that they did it. I’m gonna say yes, Eagles. They did do it for sure. Well then I’m saying they didn’t do it. They’re smarter than that. You’ve been at Dollywood? I have, yes. I sharted on the way. We’ve been there a million times. They have an enclosed eagle habitat at Dollywood but they’re all rehabilitated or rehabilitating. So it’s like they need to be in this giant enclosure. Now it’s a, I’m, when I say, I mean I went there when I was a little bit younger, like you know, like seven years ago. You know, things get smaller and as you get older. You were 38? I was 38 when I sharted with my family in the car. Right, right. Proud moments. It’s like 50 feet tall. It’s giant. And there’s so many eagles in there. I don’t know if Dolly’s still doing it, but that was cool. And it felt like they had a little bit of freedom and they were also like rehabilitating from tough times. Yeah. Eagles have a tough time. You know, when you become the mascot of a country. Right. Things change for you. Right. Well, let, let me ask you this, have you ever experienced eagle death? Because it’s scary but I do think it’s, it it, I’ve heard that it’s healthy Eagle death. It’s very therapeutic to experience eagle death. To see an eagle die? Well, no, I’ve just heard people talking about it. Eagle death. It’s like, Hey man, you ever experienced eagle death? Oh, eagle death. No. ego death. Yeah. ego death. That was the joke. Okay, next one. Eagle Death. It’s fake, luckily. And what did I vote? I voted that it was You thought it was real but then you went cause you wanted to not. Yeah, they were too smart for that. I’m glad, I’m glad to hear that. I mean, when I go back to North Carolina I see eagles and I swear, like I’ve seen in the past two trips home, I’ve, I’ve combined I’ve seen three eagles total. Wow. You got a streak going. And, and before, when we lived there we never saw eagles around Harnett County. Yep. Something happening. The eagles. Bald eagles came back. Dolly let ’em out. Dolly let ’em, they rehabilitated. That’s what happened. That’s the only explanation. Dolly let ’em out of Gatlinburg. But seriously, And they made it into the Carolinas. There there’s a there’s an exploding population of bald eagles. I guess they got completely rehabbed. When I go back to North Carolina, I don’t see a lot of eagles, so. What do you see? Look in the trees. Look up. What do you see a lot? I see a lot of Costco ’cause my parents have a membership. Yeah. And boy is that fun. Boy. Let’s do that. I’m told we have a photo of giant, giant eagle the grocery store that we need to look at. Good. Is that, is that fake? [Offscreen People] No. No. Giant Eagle. Man, that makes me hungry. I mean, it looks good. This is Brittany’s giant eagle. They, they don’t even have an eagle on the, like in the logo. I mean, Food Lion had a had a lion that was kind of a birdlike lion. I didn’t know it was a lion until, until I was 38. But I mean, at least they could have put an eagle inside of that hole in the A, you know. There might be a nest in there is, we’re not we don’t have a good angle on it. I think there’s a nest in each A. Nuh-uh. When H-E-B, a privately owned supermarket chain started in Texas first began, it was originally called CC Butt Grocery Store. CC Butt. I mean that, I mean that’s You want CC Butt? That’s not even that funny. Be so it’s gotta be true. Yeah. This is, this is true. I mean. Yeah, CC Butt. It’s, I mean, we could be we could do better than that if we were writing it, you know. If it was fake, yeah, it would be, it would be weirder than that. It’d be better than that. It’s not quite weird enough. This is definitely true. True. Yeah. It’s true. Let’s see it though. It would’ve been funny if it was fake though. Let’s see it. This is, well it was, no. Is that Cece’s Butt? This is Florence Butt, the founder of H-E-B, formerly CC Butt. See, we knew about this ’cause you know, we knew the butt drugs. We knew that, butt was a, a last name, because we did their commercial. Butt Drugs had a little, another little resurgence recently But they had already gone out of business. Too late. Yeah. Kinda like when our Chuck tested commercial went really big on the internet but they had already not ordered the show again. Yeah. Sore spot. Okay. Wegmans Supermarket chain, headquartered in New York has a bit of a cult following, and people who really, really love Wegmans call themselves Wegmaniacs. The term has its own urban dictionary entry. And some Wegmaniacs even have Instagram accounts dedicated to their love of the store. I’ve heard of Wegmans. I think it’s because some people really like it. You know, everybody’s gotta have the their thing, Link. Yeah. What’s your thing? Oh, I’m really fond of a certain specific grocery store that a lot of Americans don’t know about. Yeah, true. It’s true. Yeah. Also Wegmaniacs. There’s a Wegmans in Syracuse. There was like when I went there, there was a, it was brand new. What’s so good about it? It’s really awesome. Like, you go in, it’s like, Oh, are you a Wegmaniac? It’s like ginormous first of all. And so like, if they don’t have it there I don’t know where they would have it, but then They sell brassieres? No, food-wise. Okay. But when you walk in, there’s You can make a brassier outta two cantaloupes. They have like a food court area. Like a whole chunk of the store is all like there’s a sushi bar and there’s like, it’s all all different little Wegmans restaurant type of things. You can, you know, I like it Eat there. But then also just like their deli counters and it’s their produce is like huge. Their produce is like an entire Food Lion’s worth. She’s Wegmaniac. Major Wegmaniac. You got an Instagram? Well, especially when you’re a college kid it does seem like the mecca Can I ask you to do something? Ask her. Just for me. Okay. Could you do a Wegmaniac post on your personal Instagram on the day that this comes out? Just to confuse people. Okay. Can I, you can make a post and then make it only for one person, right? I think I’ll, okay, good. So you’re gonna just make a post and just send it directly. Tell him to call you so you can hang up and tell him to text you. It’s true, and here’s a picture from one Wegmaniac who was proposed to in a Wegmans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What put the freaking grocery store in focus if that’s what matters. Right, right. Not your life together. Not your future life together. Sad thing is that minivan backed over right as you was taking that picture. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Whenever I see a parking lot, She experienced eagle death. This is how much TikTok I watch when I watch, when I see a, a grocery store parking lot I think about the cart narc. You, he told me about this guy. I didn’t know about him Y’all know about the cart narc. I like the idea of cart narc. Maggie knows. Cart narc. Cart narc. Oh yeah. I can’t get enough of that guy. Explain what he does If you don’t put your cart back at the grocery store Into like a re- a cart receptor. He comes up to you and he has a, I’ve seen he’s, he’s like there’s a couple of where he shows you what he looks like. He’s got this like a, a uniform on. Oh wow. It says cart arc. And it looks like he like works for the grocery store. That’s what people think. But he’s just doing it for TikTok and he has magnetic stickers. And he’s like, excuse me sir. He always, he stays very, very calm, never gets mad. He’s like, excuse me, sir, you’re lazy bones. You didn’t put the cart back. And then he throws the magnet on the person. They get so mad. They throws it on the car. Yes. He throws it on the car and it sticks. And then they get out and they throw it down. And then as they’re backing out he throws it again. and he’s got multiple So he wants them to drive off, drive off with it. And then sometimes he has a little flag that he puts on there with a suction cup. And it says that like I’m a lazy bones or something like that. Like, I didn’t, you know, and and people want to literally kill him. They get so mad. And then, but they never catch him because he just keeps going around their car. Really? But they can’t catch him. They can’t catch him. No one’s ever caught him. No one’s willing to run. No. People try. Oh wow. People try He’s like throwing them. Ow. I’m abandoning that bit. That hurt too much. Right? Yeah, man. You’re not ready to be a cart narc. Uh-uh. Anyway. I like it. One more Due to a superstition of Bernard Kroger, the founder of Kroger’s, there’s an airtight legal clause dating back to the company’s founding that prevents all Kroger’s nationwide from carrying cinnamon in stick form. You can’t get cinnamon sticks at Kroger? Because he’s got a superstition? What is the superstition for cinnamon sticks? I don’t know. Let’s figure it out. Super superstitious cinnamon stick. Maybe when he was a little boy and he was holding a cinnamon stick a rehabilitated eagle got outta Dollywood, flew to him took it from him And stabbed him in the eye with it. Nope. Killed his ant. Not his aunt. His pet ant. Oh he, yeah, he had an ant farm. And it was unintentional because as it flew away because it had a bad leg is which is why it was at Dollywood in the first place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Couldn’t talon onto the stick very well. Dropped it landed right on his favorite ant, the queen. Yeah. Totally changed his whole outlook on life. I hope this is true. He, what I’m saying is true. He gave up. Seems like you’re saying is true. He gave ant farming and then, Went into grossing Well and then basically developed a superstition around. He said, we can’t have cinnamon sticks. That’s my only rule. So it’s true. Please be true. It’s fake. Ah Dang it y’all. But I feel like we can start rumor. Random. R-r-r-r-r-r-random.
