"A penny in for a pound. Why is I will say that excalibur did the clapping when you did your friend's parity there? Wow, I didn't pick it up. He was classic. Locked in. Love it. And after hearing wags sing, like you could see how he would be like a great promo guy in a movie, right? Yeah, yeah. And I mean, you know, really Mitch before you got on the call. He did he did apologize to me preemptively, and I will say, apology accepted. All right, well, here's the hot dog news for today. I have Google up dogs. On Google news and I've got I'm on the news section here. Let's see. You won't believe how many hot dogs Rob Gronkowski can fit in his mouth. That's one. That's one article. Do we want to hear about that? I mean, I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure I would believe it, right? I would put the over under at like 5. I feel like he might he might have 5 or 6 dogs in there. Excalibur what do you think? I think unless it has a photo of the man with a thousand cigarettes in his mouth. But it's like Gronkowski with hot dogs. I think it's a letdown, either way. There's a video. Oh no, here is a photo. Okay. There is a photo and the answer wags was 9 hot dogs, and here he is. Here's the photo. Here's a photo of him. Okay. That does exist. All right. That pays off. That photo does exist, there he is, with 9 hot dogs sticking out of his mouth. And that really really plays well on this audio medium..

"Go a lot, we went a little bit. I feel like probably when I was like, in elementary or middle school when it was maybe, you know, that was the thing to do when we were buying a bunch of stuff wholesale. And to me, that is like just being in there seeing so many so many families it was just felt like such a family thing. And I don't have any kids or wife, Wally. Whoopie and grandma are my children. I did say Wally. Am I penalized for that? We'll take it up with a commish. What is the penalty? I don't know. Does he have any authority? You're the one that I'm pretty sure you have to pay him in half of it goes to a charity and half of it goes to him. Jesus Christ. I don't know about this arrangement. So, you know, so when I buy stuff at Costco just will ask me for it's just right. It's too much. But when I was in there, like, even in line when I was getting my food, there was like two kids and their dad in front of me and then when I sat down, there was like a family eating at the table and I was like, oh, you can just get people are just eating their Saturn, and I dinner here for cheap. It makes me and the kids seem to the kids are so excited. That's huge. Yeah. The kids were excited about getting chicken bakes, I heard them I overheard them talking. I was the creepy guy behind him listening in on the conversation. And so I get it, you know what I mean? Like it was exciting going to BJ's when I was younger just because their samples, which at the moment that's kind of gone away. But, you know, just trying some stuff at BJ's and walking around and getting like 400 gatorades or whatever. That's fun. It's fun to do that. So I didn't have any relationship with Costco or the food counter. But I was always, I always, you know, if there was a Pizza Hut in target or something, like that's always fun to me. I always like seeing a little food country in a place where you don't expect it. No, I'm with you. That's great for a kid. Excalibur, did you have a relationship with Costco growing up? No, I think Costco came to Detroit, probably when I was around 1617. So you know, it was a little late for me to have those kind of found childhood memories. We had a place called Gordon food service, which was more didn't have all the non food items of Costco, but it was like kind of like a warehouse club grocery store where you could get a 35 pound bag of rice or something where, you know, like a larger items in bulk, I guess, precursor to Costco. 35 35 pound bag of rice last me about a week. Me Whoopi and grandma go through it pretty quickly. Meanwhile, those gatorades are just getting dusty on the shelf. That is what I was going to get when I was there. I was going to get some gatorades, but. It was like varieties of it was Gatorade zeros, which I was fine with. But the flavors, I was like, I don't want these flavors of Gatorade zeros and then had to have fucking 40 of each. I just don't I don't need that. But that was gonna do some of my own chopping and put it on the doughboy skirt, but I didn't do that. And I did the I did the self checkout wise which I had never done there before. And I didn't have my card. So that was a whole Costco card. I didn't have my Costco card. I had my number. I had my Costco number, but I was at checkout in the lady. I just got in because I showed the guy at the front of my phone 'cause it was my number and then he just clicked me in and I was like, all right, and then at the end, they had to go and get my number and the lady had to put it into the checkout. It was a whole pain in the ass. It's an ordeal. I would say this is a pro tip to anyone out there who's a Costco member and regular shopper. Get the Costco Visa..

"Trying to compare it to something I don't know. I would say it's about 16 inches long. That's maybe a good thing for people to visualize. It's like a slightly longer. It is. And it is a big boy. I liked it, again, maybe end of the day thing, but I could tell that they were good and maybe if it was, you know, especially hot and fresh. It would be fantastic. But I just have to put it in the good category. I just Googled this. And apparently, I'm reading this from the Harry Potter wiki. J. K. Rowling did not have much trouble coming up with a wood for Harry's wand. Harry's wand is sometimes 14 inches long, so it's not far behind the chart. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Yeah. And also, is there anything else in their wives anymore to that description? That wand is Harry's wand is usually described as a 14 inches long and girthy. So. And proudly a turf. Okay. Yeah, boy. Oh boy. The wand? The wand? That's what you want to do? Okay. I also wives, I got the classic. I got the berry smoothie, which you kind of did sing the praises of this to me, so I really like that smoothie. So I had a bit of a conundrum. Like I told you I had to do you want me to keep going with what else I got because I got a couple more plays. Well, not a couple more things. I got the empty cup for my soda. And then I also got myself that ice cream sundae. And I never had the ice cream sundae before that just vanilla ice cream with a chocolate topping. And wax, it's really it reminds me a lot of like that McDonald's Sunday like when we had that McDonald's Sunday, it's just classic good ice cream and some good chocolate topping to it. It was really good. I enjoyed it quite a bit. So I took a few bites of that and you know, I wasn't gonna be able to I ate the hot dog, I eat the whole hot dog. And I ate almost all of that churro too. But I was down on the smoothie, but I had to go back into the store so I didn't know what to do as far as like I was like, I got this empty cup. It's tricky, yeah. My decision was to because I had to go back into the thing I was going to hold on to my empty cup and my smoothie and then by the time I got my hot dogs it was still open, I'd get myself a soda on the way out. Because that smoothie was damn good. 'cause I like that smell. Yeah. They make them really nice. So I was just drinking that smoothie, you know, I had my mask up, but I was just taking it down and just taking sips throughout Costco as I was walking around looking for my dogs. And it was good. That ice cream sundae was also good. And by the time I got through the line, I did actually get a soda I got myself a diet Pepsi, which was fine. You know, the Pepsi products? Come on. That was another thing they switched to Pepsi products from Coke to save money. You know, well, they look, they're making compromises to keep the soda at a dollar 50 and not lose too much or to keep the hot dog and soda combo rather at one point not lose too much money on it. Pepsi is cheaper. Well, here's the thing I will say. So I had all these things. I was only, you know, the only one man. I was there by myself. And I was like, I put in my card and it was and she was like, did you use a Mastercard? I was like, yeah, and she's like, we don't take Mastercard. I was so freaked out 'cause I had all this stuff in my hands and I was like, how much is it? And she was like, it's 9 bucks. I luckily just had ten, but I had ten bucks, so I just gave her. I don't even know if it was 9 bucks. I just was like, here, take everything and I took off. But all of that stuff for under ten bucks was kind of wild to me. That was the price point was still there. I'll say that much. It was impressive. Yeah, you can get quite a hug. I got the churro as well. I went with my wife and we had two hot dogs, slice of pepperoni pizza, a churro, and a chicken bake for 11 bucks, which wow. You can't beat the value. But the churro I got, unfortunately, was near inedible. Oh no. It was, it was probably as rigid as Harry Potter's want. My churro was very too messy. And it snapped in pieces. It was a very unpleasant eating experience. And so yeah, I was a bit let down. I mean, I'm not a huge sweet guy, but you know, when I do eat sweets, I hope I will enjoy them. This was just not enjoyable. The chicken bake, I also felt was a little lacking. Maybe a little too bready. You know, it was, it was fine, but it was, you know, I think the hot dog is, I mean, that is the premiere food item at Costco. Yeah. Even though I was just saying it didn't really stand out as part of the ensemble. I'm allowed to contradict myself. Well, I'm gonna say bad outing by. That's what it sounds like. I'm looking at I'm looking at the Harry Potter wiki again and under the wand. It does say, oh, by the way, it's very rigid. It does say. Yeah. BTW's very Richard. And also BT dubs, the wand is a big supporter of blue lives matter. Yeah, that's weird. The wand. It's sentient? So I've got a conservative political beliefs? I've got a Costco question since we're all around the same age and we're from the three different parts of the country. The east, the middle and the west, what is your relationship with Costco growing up? I mean, I know Costco is a thing in the 90s. But my wife was saying that's like, you know, she would look forward to going to Costco, Costco pizza. If there was a birthday party, that was like and to me that Costco pizza is like something you eat like if you're in a bind. It's not something you look forward to. Is that just a Southern California thing or? No, I think, you know, well, first off, it might be because Southern California doesn't really have its own or at least until recently its own like pizza culture. You know, it's like, not like there's like an LA style pizza, like the good pizza out here is from other styles that are created LA outlets. Let me tell you, Costco cheese pizza in LA, you're doing pretty good as far as pizza goes. Yeah, but I also think there's just like a, I think it's just a largely nostalgia thing. For me, I like that I like the pizzas all right. I think it's like it's very cheap. That's the big thing for me. Especially for a full pie, it's just so cheap. But I have more nostalgia for the hot dogs and growing up it was always like, I get to go to Costco you have to have all these free samples while my dad is shopping. And that was the samples were as big as the hot dog, but that hot dog on the way out, it was very, very excited to have. Mitch, you weren't at Costco family, right? You're more Sam's Club or what did you have over there? We had BJs, which DJs. That's right. I don't know who owns BJ's, but somebody owns BJ's. And I told Nick, that's the first time I saw sonic on screen at the BJ's Wholesale Club. I saw the little blue guy running around and was amazed. And I mean, we didn't.

"Zone. Chubby Fox. It's called Lake Michigan, not like Chicago. Tubby assholes, not like slim and slender Detroit. Yeah. I went to I was visiting my dad a couple years ago and we had it was just he and I and we sat down at buddies. And we just got like the smallest pizza you could get. And it was just like a four slice. And the antipasto salad. And we split that and we had each had an extra slice to take home with us. And then this family family of four sat down and they got a large pizza, the salad that comes in like a 60 gallon drum, just covered in a covered in Italian dressing. And they got something else too. And I was just the amount of the amount of food they had on their table, which is mind boggling to me. And they demolished it all. And I was like, good for you and good for your cardiologist. Excaliburs, are you sure this was maybe before you didn't know us and it was the doughboys here? It could have been. It could have been us. Yeah. We're confused as a weird family sometimes. And maybe you song was with us. Hey, speaking of pizza, you know what else has pizza? Costco's food court. Now, hold on a second. Yeah. Before we, that was a great segue, so it pains me to say. Hold on. You have another course. You have another mask question you want to get in. I mean, there were more mass questions than the one off the top of my head was just as hard to eat with the mask, which there was a good answer to why. That's truly was. But it's dog dough bark fest month. That's right. And I got my dogs, wolfie and germa. And I want to know what scoby are you a fan of? You got to need, you got any furry Friends? Are you a fan of, are you a pet fan? Do you have any pets? Did you have them growing up? I did. Well, I'm a fan of animals large and small. I had a dog growing up and I'm included in that, by the way. Yeah, I had a dog growing up and then I guess I was dating a girl and we got cats together, she we broke up, she left and I inherited the cats and so now I've got two cats. And I never thought of myself as a cat person, but I've got I've got two cats I've got pinky, who is a 20 year old Siamese who is deaf, she is missing her bottom right fang and has stomach cancer and has been has been going strong for the last 14 months with the cancer. And I've got noodle who when he was a kitten and we adopted him, was called noodle because he was just like the small floppy thing. And now he is, he's not a Maine coon, which is a very large domesticated cat, but he is about the size of that. And he's maybe 13 pounds and will wow. Jump off the nightstand onto my stomach at three in the morning. And 13 pounds doesn't seem like a lot, but when it's concentrated on four little pause and you're completely fast asleep that is perhaps one of the most unpleasant ways to wake up. Wow. Got too much AEW on in the house. I know. Noodles. Murals copying. God bless pinky. I hope pinky is doing well. And how old is noodle? He's about 13, I think, 12 or 13. All right, good age. See why is another good question I have. But now we can segue back into new school. Italian. Much like pizza. Thank you. Master at work. I have another thing. That was another perfect segue. But I got to know just you've been around a lot of big folks, you know, a lot of wrestlers can eat. They can eat a lot. Who's the person that you remember just eating the most food? Who's the biggest eater you know in that world? So this is some super inside baseball. But this guy, manabu nakanishi, he was you might know him as Curaçao in WCW during the 90s. He is now retired, but he would have he was famous for what they would call monster mornings in Japan and he would in Japan, breakfast is, you know, it's like a big ritual around breakfast before you go off to work. And so when we would stay in these hotels in Japan, he would go down to the breakfast buffet. And he would have literally just an entire table covered in little plates of food and would just pick one thing here, pick one thing here. And you'd probably take in 6000 calories who knows, but it was and he would do it every single morning. And so I've never seen anybody eat that much food that consistently. And so madam nakanishi's monster mornings was he a big guy? Yeah, yeah, he's like he was probably like 6 four, maybe like two 62 70, and he's I was there on one of his last tours right before he retired. And he'd been wrestling for 30 years. I think he was an Olympic wrestler as well for the Japanese national team. And so he had a lot of miles on his body. He wasn't moving extremely well, but around the breakfast table, he was very nimble. Wow, that's awesome. Monster morning sounds like forever morning DJs. It sounds like what our show would be called. Monster mornings with the spoon. Listen to monster mornings yet with a spoon man and wags. The toilet flushing noise. What you talking about Willis? I think that covers well, I had an idea last week. I told Nick this, but I think that, you know, there's like rankings and W I was saying that the referee should get rankings too. This was my big idea. And I think that it's kind of a genius idea. And besides that, I guess I have nothing else to say, but can wags and I be in.

"We're here with our guest excalibur discussing this week's chain Costco for dog dobar fest 2021. Costco founded in 1983 Kirkland Washington. San Diego based price club in 1993. Yeah, not that old. Price club creates it. It merged with price club in the 90s, and then now they're one company. Has over 800 locations where much older. I'm not much older. If you were dating Costco, it would be like a winter spring relationship. What is that called? May December? May December? Yeah there it is. Their hot dog combo is famously a dollar and 50 cents, and I have this quote in the intro, but I'll say it for you guys. This is a quote from the CEO. I came to Jim Senegal, the founder of Costco once and I said, Jim, we can't sell this hot dog for a buck 50. We are losing our rear ends. And he said, if you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out. So that was over ten years ago. The hot dog's still a buck 50. This is the company you love so much where you threaten to kill the person. It was in good fun. Do you really get the good fun from the context of the written word? It could have been a really heated conversation. Yeah, I guess it could have been very harsh violent threat from a soup. I mean, every time I say it to you on here, I mean it sincerely. Let's talk hot dogs generally. Excalibur went are you a hot dog fan? Do you have any hot dog favorites? I am a tubed meat enthusiast. I love almost any and all hot dogs, sausages, bratwurst, whatever you got given to me, and I'll take them. I grew up in Detroit. And so I have an affinity for the Coney Island, the chili dog with just a little bit of onion a little bit of mustard. To me, that's the thing that tastes like home. And so if I travel in every week for TV and if I lay over in Detroit, I always make an effort to go and get at least one Coney dog, just while I'm there. Wow. Yeah. Do you have a favorite spot for a Detroit Coney dog? So the big debate is Lafayette versus American. Those are the two original places. I guess I come from an American Coney Island household. And so that for me is good. I grew up there was a place called national Coney Island that was right by right by my dad's house. And so. Oh, yes. When I'm when I go back to visit him, that's usually on either on the way to his house from the airport around the way to the airport. That's my first and last stop. And sometimes both, so it's not something that you can really exist out here in California, though. There was some guy like 15 years ago, actually opened a Detroit Coney Island place like on sunset in LA. And the business model to me didn't make any sense because it was this very hyper regional food item and he imported Detroit beer or not imported. But you know what I mean? You've had it shipped in. And it was open for like, I don't know, 18 months, maybe two years. It's like, this guy must have lost his ass on that place, but oh man. Yeah. Yeah. I love the idea of trying to like, you know, bring the food sensibilities of other cities to LA, but it feels like it's a tough, it doesn't translate a lot of the time, which is sad to me. Sometimes it does. There's some that take off, but there's a lot of them don't work for whatever reason. Well, the Coney dog is I think so, so Midwest regional and it's also a thing I think that even confuses someone if you're not from there because you're like, wait, I thought Coney Island was in New York and it was like, no, the Coney dog is a style of dog that's in, you know, that's in the Midwest national Coney Island Mitch we reviewed when we did our show and wrote a couple of years ago. Yeah. At a lovely place. I will say they are confusing. It is like a, it's a Greek restaurant that has like a Greek salad and fries, but then like the Coney dog is the big thing to get. It was a confusing like I didn't understand when I went in there. I didn't know what I was getting into, really. And I enjoyed it quite a bit. I know that there was a Detroit style dog place in LA to wags and I don't know if that is still open. I think for LA more so there's like the trends of, you know, like Detroit pizza is a trend now, and now there's a bunch of pop up places that have Detroit pizza and things like that. And more so if you do like taste the Chicago or whatever, I feel like it's harder to make a thing like that. Work in LA, if it's like a specific except for that red except for Sonny McLean's, which is just drinking. It's just a bar. Yeah, that's just a bar. This is a bar. That's known for hot dogs. Not known for anything. But a lot of the what I think of Detroit now, I just think it Detroit pizza after buddies and jets. I still don't even think of the dogs. Yeah, Detroit pizza, I think now is having a kind of to borrow a phrase a moment. It's like nationally, it seems like that there's Detroit pizza popping up all over the place. And especially now that the chains are,.

"Oh, my mom's doing her laundry. My God, that misses Mitchell's music. It's a running. I heard I heard rattling. I didn't know what it was. I was confused. Yeah. She's got stuff to do. I thought you didn't know what was going on. I was trying to figure she was it sounded like she was tiptoeing around down here. Yeah, I had to figure out why? Well, you got to the bottom of that mystery. Excalibur. What do you think about how would this be for a wrestling gimmick? Like some sort of chef or food man. You know, shifting my food. What do you mean by food man? Like the guy the guy who brings like a big sub to the ring or something, a big party sub. He's a good guy. So he's like a gourmand. He's like, I got a big appetite. Yeah, he's got a big appetite. Okay. Hungry hungry. Is he gonna hide like a crowbar or something in the sub? Is that perfect? If he brings down, if he brings down like a party sub, and then inside the sub is that he's got a crowbar or something? Yeah. But that would be great. It's covered in oil and vinegar. So it slips out of his hands when he gets to get some cute. I mean, hungry Henry, you're already you're already on a good track with the alliteration. So I think we can make hungry Henry work. All right, great. Now you just need someone who can yeah, which poor schmuck are we going to settle with.

"They would, they would make a chicken breast like a charcoal briquette. It was awful. But they were the only caterers that we could get at the beginning of the pandemic. And they, I guess, you know, we just we just had them. So we had to eat this terrible catering for 16 months. Every single week. And a lot of people actually just once things started opening up a little, would actually like Uber eats stuff to the building in an effort to not eat the free food. It was that bad. Wow. Also, also these guys had these are like huge Trump voter guys that were like where like their maga hats and stuff. And then we have a pretty good first yeah, the caterers. And we have a pretty pretty diverse roster of talent. We have. Trans people, gay people, people of color, all this sort of stuff. And they're just serving food to sunny kiss, who is gender gender neutral or gender fluid. And I'm wondering, what are they thinking, what is sunny thinking? All this stuff 8 and it was so not only were they awful people, but the food was terrible too. Oh my God, that sucks. Well, maybe they took it from Trump likes a steak well done, which is one of the psycho psycho personality traits about him is that he likes a steak. Well done with ketchup with ketchup. Yeah. Which maybe, maybe it's the Trump school of cooking, where the chicken was just extra well done. Which is the, which is the worst. That's when a chicken is dried out like that. It's terrible. Yeah. You were living. So I have more important questions. You wear a mask during broadcasts. And how is it eating through the mask? Is that difficult? Are you getting, see, I told you why because it was more important question. This is a more important question now. This is just what you want to know. The Mandalorian question. Probing hard hitting topics. The thing about the mask is it has terrible peripheral vision. And so I mean, literally, anything below my straight ahead of me, I can't see. So when I do have to eat with the mask on, I have to physically turn my neck downward and look at my plate in order to get my or else it just gets everywhere and it's terrible. And oftentimes, people have come up to me and extended extended their hand to a handshake or whatever. And I'm just looking at them like a completely oblivious because the peripheral vision I can't even see their hand up. Actually, I did that to see him punk on TV the other week. So a lot of people think you're a true asshole. Yeah. I mean, think and know, but. That's no good, so yeah, if you're you put something up to your mouth, you realize you grab a chicken wing off of JR's plate. That could cause trouble. Oh, it's not. I don't want to take anything off jars plate. He's a senior guy at the booth, man. He gets first dibs on it all. Well, now that that important question out of the way, you also are, you live in San Diego, correct? You're in San Diego area. Yeah. And we talked burritos a little bit. Are you a burrito fan? Are your California burrito fan? And I know that we already talked about some of your favorite burritos, but let's go over it again because this was private talk. This was without wax. I am a burrito fan. I love I do love a California burrito. There's no shortage of great burritos here in San Diego. But I would say I definitely prefer tacos to two burritos. Burritos obviously much easier on the go. You're eating in your car. It's better better than trying to get four or 5 tacos in your mouth while you're right. Yeah, yeah. Burritos just said to me, I mean, look, I know you're a taco fan. I'm a taco man. Yeah. But burritos if it's a good, I think that the issue is, is that sometimes you're just not sure if you can get a terrible taco is like tossing the trash. It's a bad meal. You know what I'm saying? Well, I think the ish to excalibur's point. I think that a burrito in and of itself is a meal. Whereas a taco like, you know, you know, honestly, it's kind of like hot dogs. It's like how many hot dogs comprise a meal? I feel like I need probably. I need at least two, maybe three, and with tacos we're talking, you know, four top, I guess we get a three taco combo maybe with beans and rice or with chips, that's maybe a meal, but I feel like I need three or four just as tacos on their own. If we're talking the soft shell corn tortillas, one taco is disappointing. You know, that's, you know, you gotta have three, I think, is the minimum for a taco order. But here's what I like is that about the taco is that the protein really shines. And so if you get like a good like Al pastor or like a good languid, it's just like, oh man, this is the best vehicle for it. Just like a small little cradle of tortilla and then whatever salsa you wanna put on it and some maybe some cilantro onions. It's so good. Do you have a favorite type of taco? I love just a nice fish taco. There's a place down in Bonita, which is not too far from the border called TJ oyster bar. And they've got two locations about a quarter mile from one another. There's one that it's just kind of like a lunch counter. And then they opened up a one that's like quarter mile away that's more of a sit down restaurant. But the lunch counter, they have, I think the best fish tacos in the city. And then they also have fried oyster tacos, which are amazing and all their salsa. Every Mexican restaurant, you know, like a family in Mexican restaurant that has their own kind of salsa recipe. But I really love the TJ oyster bar salsa. Sounds awesome. Wow. Yeah, that sounds great. We're gonna get back down that way. Mom?.

"We just got into such a routine. You know, we would go right from the airport to the hotel, go from the hotel to the building back to the hotel. You know, it was just it just became like commuting to work. But in the Paris of northeast Florida. What is this Florida? It's a wawa of Florida wags. I'm gonna try to look it up, but I feel like there's I'm sure I'm sure a listener is screaming at us, what it is. It's. Crybabies. No, why? I gotta say. I gotta ask excalibur. Did you enjoy your meal when you were in Salt Lake City? A meal I could have been at with you, if not for Nick weger. Who ended our night early. I have a hard time reading social cues. We've discussed this. You know me as a man. And it felt like we talked about this with our friend colt Cabana who's on the show. Is that it felt like excalibur and colt and Bryce remsburg, I believe were the three of you guys came to our show was lovely to see you and we were talking afterwards. I got the vibe like these guys want to leave, and that might be my lack of confidence thinking like, why would these guys want to hang around a couple of dorks like us? But I was like, well, we so I was like, let's make our exit. But apparently there was the night continued, and that was a thing we could have been a part of. Yes, you absolutely could have been a part of. And you really have to work on those confidence issues. Because we would have loved to continue to hang out with you guys. Colt and I just went, it was the comedy club in Salt Lake City and then it was in kind of like a mall and on the second floor of the mall there was just like a sports bar that was open and we just got colt doesn't drink, so he watched me drink a couple of beers and we shared a plate of fries. And then I think we just went back to the hotel and that was it. So we could have we could have all just drank beer in front of cold Cabana and shared a plate of fries. Maybe we'll have to go back to Salt Lake City one day and make it happen. Because that's the type of magical thing that can only happen in Salt Lake City. Right. This was when I think around this time wagons was like, we might have to cancel the rest of this tour. And I was like, you're being crazy. This is the start of this. And then the next day, I believe that we were like, maybe we should cancel this. That night we did a meet and greet when we were using we were using hand sanitizer. That's right. And then Emma got us hand sanitizer 'cause she was on top of things. And then so many so many of the people meeting us are like, bam, I'm fine. Yeah. Just shaking so many so many hands. And then the next night, so yeah, that was in Salt Lake City, Utah. We've told the story before the podcast. The next night in Denver, and pre show, like in the half hour before I took the stage and then brought you on. We found out a Tom Hanks had COVID and be the NBA seasons NBA season was canceled. And so like that was just like what you told me. Which I told you on stage. Yeah. Or suspended, I guess they ultimately resumed it in some form. But excalibur I imagine that was you're getting this news around the same time. You guys are have all these shows scheduled. You obviously end up reconfiguring everything so that you're based in Jacksonville for a bit. But what was that like on AW side like hearing about quarantine and having to figure out how you're going to do everything on the fly? Well, so that was a pretty wild night because before we went on the air, which 8 eastern, they were talking about, it's like 50 50. We might we might have to send the TV trucks to Rochester, which was where we were supposed to go. That was our next date or we're going to send them to Jacksonville. So before the show, the plan was to have the trucks leave that evening, stop in Nashville and figure out if they're going to go north or south. And then we go on the air and as soon as we got off the air at ten eastern, I saw looked at my phone. It's like Rudy Gobert has COVID. Tom Hanks says COVID, the NBA has suspended their season all this stuff. And I'm just like, oh shit, we're going to Jacksonville. And that plan had already been made. So, you know, even before we left the building that night, they knew that we were going to go to Jackson, but we didn't know how long we were going to be there, but yeah. You didn't find out from Nick? No, he didn't. He didn't pull your cup off and just whisk her. I'm guessing like the news you saw was like podcast or announces that that NBA season in the news in The New York Times. It was like podcast her announces that NBA season suspended her live shows. Well, they actually broke into our broadcast. That's what it was. A recording of doughboys in Denver. No, man. Cutting live to a doughboy's live show. Yeah. It's a real disappointed crowd. We want Sammy Hagar. Let me ask you this. I'm curious about the spread backstage at an AW show. I mean, like, what kind of food is back there for the talent and for the crew and for everyone and it doesn't get plused up a little bit at pay per views. I'll answer the questions in reverse order. No, it does not get plused up at pay per views. Interesting. But since we have gone back on the road, we have had excellent catering. I don't know the name of the company, but we've contracted with them and they come with us to every city. And so there's a lunch meal and a dinner meal. And each one is kind of different, but then they'll also theme it around the city that we're in and you know, it's for catered food. It is really good. I will say fuck our caters and Jacksonville. Those guys with the dirt worst..

"To our world. It's so excited to have you. I was talking about with you a little bit before while we're waiting for Mitch to join us with his tuna sandwich that he's still eating. But I think I can speak for both of us in that you are a big part of how we both were both lapsed wrestling fans were lapsed wrestling fans, as an old school WCW fan, Mitch was a WWE fan. And that was me. Attitude era, and you via PWG, which got me back into wrestling and got us both back into wrestling and aw, which got us back into wrestling following wrestling every week. Like you're such a huge part of that. So we have you to thank for getting us back into this world. Well, I mean, it's great to have you guys back and it's great to have all these fans that wrestling with something that they enjoyed, maybe when they're high school, early college days, and life catches up with everybody and now that people have got time and there's an engaging product out there. I think it's awesome that people are coming back to wrestling. And you know, that was kind of the goal for AEW. One of the goals for AEW is to bring back those fans. And so it's really cool to hear that it's working. And you know, I mean, also, on a personal level, PWG was promotion that I helped found in LA in 2003 and the fact that it's still running and that it's people that people still want to come almost 20 years later. It's mind boggling to me. So it's really been awesome ride. Yeah, we started coming Nicki. You went to a show I believe before I did, but we started coming closer. Everybody Mike Carlson, yeah, everybody Mike Carlson was taking us to PWG shows. Which is basically you got to see this thing. And he was right. I'm glad I did. It was great. Yeah, there was that lesion hall up in receipt of the rally. I mean, there was a hint of air conditioning, but that was about it. And we would be it would be a hundred and 105° in the afternoon and then in the building it would somehow be a 120° and we'd pack 500 people in there. And then you could have you'd have guys wrestling for 30 minutes and just like busting their ass and then the ambient temperature of the building just continues to rise throughout the night. And these guys are putting on world class performances in front of 500 lucky fans. It's just wild. Yeah, absolutely amazing. Those older shows. Yeah, I just remember fans bringing their own beer pitchers because they didn't have all the glassware there. So, you know, you could bring a pitcher and pay it for them to fill it up. But yeah, it was a really unique space. Bad info for you to find out why. Did you just have your picture on you anyways? Just kept this in my trunk. Yeah. Yeah, the men's room there. It always felt like it was the men's room of the boys room of a condemned middle school. It was like there was such a grimy feel to everything there, but it was so awesome to have so much character and those shows were incredible. Yeah, and the legion hall and receipt of sadly is no longer with us. Right now. Finally, it had been condemned and then knocked down. I think they were turning it into a retirement home. But we've actually we're in downtown LA now at the globe theater, which is such a huge upgrade. It's got a state of the art sound system LED, giant LED screen that we just feel like spoiled children going from the place where there was literally black mold in the ceiling and also in an artillery shell from Vietnam that was in the ceiling that somebody forgot about for 35 years. So that's God. That's what was in receipt. That's fucking wild. I never went to the bathroom at the Rashida shows, but I did in the globe theory. It's very nice wives. You've been with me. I have stomach issues, so I always say. Well, not into the bathroom with you. Are you suggesting? No, it's kind of like these girlfriends of doughboys listeners. I made you come downstairs and wait outside the stall. Why is I have always said this, but, you know, you.

"That's head gum dot com slash live. See you there, baby. I came to Jim Senegal once and I said Jim, we can't sell this hot dog for a buck 50. We are losing our rear ends. And he said, if you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out. This quote by club store CEO W Craig jelinek recalling a conversation with founder Jim Senegal as first reported by Todd Matthews of 4.25 business, has repeatedly gone viral over the years. The good humor directness of Senegal's language is arresting, but even more so in an age of cynical bottom line only corporate behavior is the founders focus not on profits, but on the consumer. Whether calculated or not, this customer forward approaches help the big box store accumulate a fiercely loyal membership. And it has a similarly loyal workforce in the famously high turnover retail sector, the chain's minimum wage was increased to $16 an hour in early 2021, and more than half of its employees make at least $25 an hour. The chain is known for its value conscious and ever changing selection of goods. Bulk items like gallon sized mustard jugs and 30 packs of paper towels, alongside an eclectic mix of errata like active wear and sectionals and laptops, plus an occasional obscene luxury, like a $17,000 bottle of whisky. But the stores are just as known for their prepared food from the free samples, which have obviously taken a backseat in the age of COVID to enormous rotisserie chickens to the food court, where that famous buck and two quarters hot dog soda combo can be found. The sausage is present chases to a popular Hebrew national card outside of San Diego store of absorbed former competitor price club. And for decades, the chain in fact sold Hebrew national Franks, but in 2009, looking to limit costs while retaining quality, the company began manufacturing its own Kirkland signature dogs. The gambit paid off, and today, long line still stream from its food courts from open to close, with famished shoppers hoping to grab some post spree pizza, chicken bakes and churros. But mostly hot dogs and absurd value from a brand built on absurd values. To again, quote, CEO jelinek, by having the discipline to say you are not going to be able to raise your price, you have to figure it out. We keep it at one 50 and make enough money to get a fair return. This week on doughboys, we continue to bark fest 2021, a monthlong grip of hot dogs and pet dogs as we return to Costco..

"Had mentioned that the parts of the building were used from various other buildings that were destroyed in the fire but then then the same thing could be said about the lakefront. That is east of michigan avenue. Which is we know his grant park in chicago. Our whole part is actually landfill. That was from the chicago fire. Was debris had so there should be a lot of orbs out there in grant park based on that alone. I think they're all You know i. I have never actually seen any proof that it was built with any supplies from the great chicago fire. So i i mean that is speculation. I believe there's nothing that says that. And i think that they would have capitalized on that. A lot So for me. I'm gonna give this an overall rating of a one. I feel pretty safe in that. I'm the lowest of all. But that's typical of me I am a little bit more skeptical than both of you so one seems to be okay because there are some things that we just don't have enough information like you were saying you know i would like to see video. I would like to question some of the people that were involved in. It's always gonna be my my thing when i cannot when i cannot answer questions. I'm always going to go to at least a one and not zero. If i can question these people i would probably be at zero. I would say so. That brings us to the closing arguments. This is our last chance to convince you to vote our way. We are each given one minute of uninterrupted time for this one though is going to be the timekeeper. Because we're using the phone my phone to talk to mondo so i can't use my phone for. It can have to trust me. Yeah so expect. Rebecca to be cheating in this one. I'm going to now. But she will us on her cellphone to keep us honest except for herself. Rebecca are you ready. I am ready all right and go all right so i do believe that. The excalibur site is haunted You know there are so many reports there are you again. What brings a tv show so many tv shows in psychics and people there and just just regular everyday workers that report these haunting z- And these things that happen. I mean you know it costs a lot of money to to do some tv show and bring all your equipment and and do all of this work I just think that it would be very difficult. You wouldn't want to do that if there wasn't something there So it can. We may not know exactly. You know who the gosar that are there. what spirits what's enter what energy are causing it. But i do think that It's haunted again there's just too many sightings all right there. You tried to go over there. I saw that. I did not mondo. Are you ready. yes all right. Rebecca you ready to all right. Let's go and one minute go. Okay so i think the building itself just kind of looks like it belongs like it has a lot of stories to it None of the places that existed before it was even x caliber..

"I would imagine Even the deaths on the ground during the great fire have never quite been confirmed. There is a story at their. That's like people went in there during the fire like thinking it was fireproof but then i think it wasn't even built until like twenty years after the fire the unit. I mean there's some fact that impossible it was and you know. Here's the thing is that there are a few buildings like the water tower and stuff that survived The great chicago fire and they all have the certain look to them. and excalibur doesn't really have that same Sandstone ish kind of like trying to have that. Yeah but not but it but it is reminiscent of it at all right. So that's all. I have Do you guys have anything else to add about excalibur before we go onto the debate. I was actually just going to ask. Does anybody know what was there prior. Like what kind of building was there before If i don't think there was a building there prior. I think that was the first thing built on that particular landmark that site interesting. Yeah have or anything that would have been. There was burnt down in the fire right. Yeah yeah yeah it. It actually came about after the fire because there was a lot of locations that were opened in that area and stuff and But yeah. I don't think there was any significant building there. I mean probably you know native american burial ground. I'm sure or something like that. Yeah that's always the star. Yeah all right rebecca. Do you have anything dan. I don't okay so we're going to see you in a minute for the debate he listeners. Did you know there's a way to share with the world whether you're hash tag team believer.

"Yep i mean you would easily spend one hundred bucks going out there depending pre game so don't know what that means. I mentioned that a lot of reasons given for x. Calibers haunting seemed to crumble as you look into it more. Rebecca has agreed that there are some myths. And we wanted to. Debunk these even before the debate. Exactly these are not to me. These are not under. Debate are And in fact some of this. We've we've hurt. So i am excited to revisit some of this so the number one thing that people say about excalibur about why it is haunted it is because they say that it acted as a morgue after the eastland disaster or As bob would say easter island massacre right of one thousand. Nine hundred three mondo. Have you heard that i have. Yeah and rebecca. I know you've heard it. Because i heard it too. And we. We discussed this with tony in our eastland disaster episode. It just simply isn't true. Although eight hundred and forty four bodies needed to be housed in nearby buildings x caliber or chicago. Historical society was not one of them. This seems to be a mix up because a lot of the pictures that see with the bodies on the floor are labeled as courtesy of chicago historical society and somewhere along the line. Someone probably just thought that that referred to the location but not the organization that supplied the photo. Yes so that's what they word. They were his a historical society of chicago right so they were. They took pictures of they. Kept them for posterity. You know but yeah the instead If you go listen to that episode. We'll tell you about some of the places where they did take bodies now the second one i had never heard of but We found it online. And i thought we would talk about it the bones of jean the line sure. Okay were once housed in the castle So this one has some truth to it. the line was an early settler to chicago and was killed by john. Kenzi in a drunken brawl wall anyways the bones were unearthed during the construction of the rush street bridge and presented as a gift to historical society and they were in the old chicago historical society building which became x caliber But they were moved when the historical society moved so they weren't in the castle. That was the name of it after x caliber right right so they weren't in that building And that would mean that. The ghost went with them right. I mean i don't know. I mean i suppose this is one where i'm like. I mean i guess you could say that the bones were but it seems kind of weird me think where the bones had been buried. I guess they they lived in this building for a short time before going somewhere else. But it's not in the same timeframe is people say so. It just seems very sketchy to me. And i'm not sure why they would linger in a nightclub with smoke machines and lasers a lotta energy cheesy deejays. That's just a weird gift to give. Somebody gave that they'd give do a cemetery no is that does seem really weird. I mean come on. The historical society was probably very happy to receive bones. I guess. I don't know. I don't know in this third one. I've actually heard before and i there's no way to prove or disprove this them. A lot of people have died tragically in the building over the years so beyond the tales of bodies in the building there are stories about people hanging themselves from the ceiling. Children dying elevator shafts and other tales that come up with a lot in ghost stories all over but in this case and most others. They don't seem to have any basis in fact even deaths on the ground which was a nightclub. There's going to be some deaths in a nightclub..

"Fancy one now. It was by by hard rock cafe which is still there. Yes the rainforest. Cafe disney disney west business-class. Yeah the big ones among the big ones pizzeria uno do way Corner you gotta. I eat fish pizza in chicago. And i actually worked pretty close to it and would see it every day when i would go into work going to be honest. I know that there's You know Chains out there or you know other other ones it is. It really is different when you eat it at the original restaurant. Oh yes yes definitely okay so now if you look at the building itself or pictures of the building you would think that. The building were excalibur once was has like a huge history because it just looks like that kind of place it does and i was really hoping for that But besides the building being in existence for almost one hundred and thirty years and changing names like a million times. That doesn't appear to be that much of a history to it. unfortunately i it's located at six thirty two north dearborn street on the on the corner of Dearborn in and it was built in eighteen ninety two right before. Chicago's columbia. The world's fair making it a historic landmark and alan mark yes So as you'll hear several times during this episode the building was first the home of the chicago historical society after its headquarters burned down in the great chicago fire. And that's how it's listed on the national registry of historic places. The old chicago historical society building. Yeah so when you're doing research you know it's been so many different things that you can actually kinda. I mean. we picked excalibur because for us. That's how we think of it. You know how we know it but but it's been a lot of different things. Yeah not many people that are currently alive today would remember this building as the old or as the chicago historical society build. Oh yeah. I would had no idea. After nineteen thirty one it would change hands very often becoming The works progress administration. The loyal order of the meuse. That's my favorite. I could totally see that. Yeah i can totally see a two. And i would love to have went to one of their meetings or something The chicago institute of design and a recording studio mondo. Did you know that. No and didn't like what kind of recording. i've. I have no idea but just a recording studio interest. Probably old time radio things. I would imagine or something and it was also several nightclubs. I think currently it's best known as the home to one of chicago's most popular tourist attractions and hottest nightclubs excalibur. Right even though there's been other things in there since then i would say again. That's the most famous. it's absolutely. That's what that's what we all know it as excalibur. Even though there's i don't even think it says ex kellyanne the building anymore. No i mean again younger people in chicago. You may be like not what you're talking about. It's called something you know but you know what it is because of the shape of the building..

And facebook was really so the facebook but it was mainly, you had to be a college student on a college campus, they have access to facebook. and. These were actually it was a nice place. Social Media was very tame back then. It's kind of like, Hey, look at me here's some pictures. Here's the bands that I like what I'm listening to here's the links to smile into my friends. You know everybody remembers here's another meeting right now at this restaurant look at this great meal. and. That was kind of the first few years of what social media was. There was no censorship. There was no you know multimillion dollar corporations coming in and taking over. And there was no political groups spreading outrage or propaganda on social media. It was not really a destructive environment back. Then it wasn't toxic wasn't a toxin environment in any anyway. So then some big changes starting to happen in the kind of the mid to late two thousand. So facebook. started. To allow anyone to join, you didn't have to be a college student. So anybody can create an account and then in two thousand nine. facebook introduced the like button, and now for the first time everything and everyone can be graded and ranked, and now everybody is rewarding or punishing everyone else by simply clicking a button whether they like or dislike you you know Lance I can totally hear some of our listeners right now saying who cares if you get a like or not and I wouldn't be surprised if listeners say facebook, what's that? But because of for mature adults, we are more developed in don't tire identity to social media but in this is critical because for younger adults or children social media has now become a popularity contest. So now, speech isn't just you and me talking openly it becomes how do I get more likes and approval? So other platforms like twitter come out and they introduced the re tweet button yet, and now the things that I'm saying that we're saying right here on this podcast that you're liking tend to be the things that are going to make people emotional or even sharing my frustration or anger, and then you or anyone compress re tweet and spread that. So now my frustration and anger can go to thousands or even millions of people within a day that share or want to have the same expression and like the way that somebody else says it. You're correct in an I think between two, thousand, nine, two, thousand, twelve kind of this is the next step when when the news media mainstream media began to realize, hey, the social media thing is not going away and it may even overcome and overtake us. So the mainstream media begins to adapt to this new world in which people now and they're not going to CNN. They're not going to the New York Times for their information as much. They're getting their news and their opinions from social media and often I can tell you without fact checking anything. It's like well, you know. God bless my mom but I don't know how many times she's like well I saw it on facebook it has to be true. It must be true. If you're rushing spy putting it on. I'm like. So now we can we can go down rabbit hole on how social media and also creates echo chambers and in confirmation bias because one of the things that facebook switched over to it used to be that you would get everybody get all this information. And it was kind of random. Well, facebook started optimizing that to where they're GONNA only gonNA show you social media is only gonNA show you the stuff that they think you want to hear and like. So this changed in became more of an engagement focused thing. So now, you this confirmation bias because now we can only we can choose to just watch and listen to the point of view that we agree with. and. Let's get an. So that that's a whole rabbit hole. We go down I don't WANNA do that. You can go back and listen to somewhere where podcast we talk about that. But let's get to what this means for parents and specifically for parents of daughters so. T this you know this is probably relate to a lot of our guys out there. So in the development process boys. Are. Our maturity are hierarchy or or the the Alpha male is kind of based on. You know things like our athletic ability are toughness. Our ability to dominate or insult can competition teasing. You know drinking soda through your nose with a straw. Those are the things like middle school boys are. That's important to them. Things like that. Now, I'm not. I'm not Dourson this behavior agreeing with this saying that you know what this type of behavior is admit just that's just what it is. It's the scientific fact that this is kind of how middle school and high school boys move through their child development process. We could argue that. I would argue this Dante that some boys never develop out of the state and we have thirty and forty year olds who are still clinging to this. Alpha, Male, I'm the toughest I can dominate an insult you model. By that. Maybe, fifty year old. That's me later there. But but for girls and for daughters, this is specifically different. It's about who's in WHO's out, who is included, who is ex colluded who's friends with who who knows who secrets. And so the Female. Tends to be not physical like boys like they're not going to wrestle and fight it's relational and it's a Lotta drama. girls don't bully each other. You know generally, girls don't bully the each other physically so much. But what girls do is they gossip and they damage each other's relationships and again, we could argue that they're grown women even in our churches that still cling to this model now again. Not. dosing anything. That this is we agree with this behavior and I'm just I'm just regurgitating medical science and facts kind of the development process so. Around two, thousand, eight, two, thousand, nine when we start seeing smartphones coming out, the iphone first comes out and now you have social media is in your hand and in your pocket at all times. Okay. So with girls and daughters, this multi by this multiplies, a girl's ability to be able to damage each other's relationships enormously. So in some homes and in some cases. Children Girls They have access twenty, four seven to this device in which their thoughts emotions and images can be reported can be rewarded or punished by. Clicking a button and so if you had a fight with a girl that day in school, she can get on there and spread nasty things about you and you everybody's not liking you or making fun of you via anonymous social media on a phone and while adults adults, we might shrug things off and say, what's the big deal I mean who cares but you gotta remember girls in this vulnerable stage in development middle school high school they're looking for approval they're looking for inclusion and they're being they're looking to you know being seen. As beautiful as much and they're much more susceptible to anxiety depression, self harm and even suicide this you know approval inclusion in comparison that they're dealing with is that make sense Dante?

How Long Does It Stay on Surfaces? How Long Can We Rely On Amazon Delivery?
"From the weekend. Our young ace symptomatic cases the key to spreading the virus. Should we rethink the conventional wisdom around facemasks? How long can the virus stay on surfaces? And how long can we rely on Amazon delivery? As of last night known cases of Corona virus in the United States exceeded thirty five hundred spread across forty nine states prompting the mass cancellation of and the reordering of American public life the CDC is recommending halting gatherings of fifty people or more throughout the US for the next eight weeks if implemented fully that means all sporting events all concerts all conferences. All parades all weddings. Almost everything done for eight weeks. Bars and restaurants are closed in New York City beginning tomorrow. Tuesday at nine. Am takeout and delivery orders? Only New York City schools have closed. Ohio has suggested schools might remain closed in that state for the remainder of the academic year but Ohio Massachusetts and Illinois have gone the France route as well. All bars and restaurants are shutting down statewide quote. Delay means more people will die Ohio governor. Mike DeWine said these states are the first states to take the steps toward Italy toward a complete shutdown of public activities except for food medicine and other essentials it is unlikely they will be the last the CEO of universal music group Lucian Grange.

Lvmh said figuring it's cosmetics division to only produce mass quantities of Hydro Alcoholic Gel in order to give it to French health authorities. More people have now died from the corona virus outside of China than have died inside China since the disease. I emerged airline Cathay. Pacific is adding flights from US cities and London to Hong Kong because since the disease seems to be relatively under control in Hong Kong at the moment some people are seeing Hong Kong as a safe haven and are rushing to travel there a mere seven weeks ago. Hong Kong had implemented travel restrictions because of its proximity to mainland China. Italy reported three hundred sixty eight deaths in a single day yesterday. A twenty five percent increase making this the deadliest twenty four hour period thus far worse than the deadliest day in Wuhan's outbreak. Italy has reported two hundred deaths for each of the last three days. Italy only had its first. Colonel Related Death three weeks ago now. More than eighteen hundred people have died because of overloaded hospitals. The fatality rate and Lamberti is nine percent in the rest of Italy. The fatality rate is five point one percent Spanish health authorities reported two thousand New Corona virus cases in twenty four hours on Sunday bringing the total in the country of Spain to eight thousand cases with two hundred eighty eight deaths as the number of people who have died of the virus more than doubled in twenty four hours as the Spanish death. Toll was up from one hundred thirty six a day earlier. That is an increase of almost one hundred percent. Spain is clearly on. The Italian trajectory is France. Next it certainly seems to be going that way quoting the New York Times. France announced the closing of all non indispensable businesses including restaurants bars and movie theaters after a sharp uptick in corona virus cases. The number of French cases past five thousand four hundred twenty on Sunday with one hundred and twenty seven deaths on Saturday. Three hundred corona virus patients were in critical condition half of them under sixty years of age on Sunday. Francis Transportation Minister said the country would begin reducing plane train and bus services between cities and quote. I'd like to end the segment with some potentially good news from Italy Adrenal Aguzzi. A professor of neuro pathology and Switzerland just north of the troubled Italian region of Lombardy tweeted a chart this weekend that showed that even with the surge in deaths in Italy over the last few days the death rate is deviating ever so slightly from exponential growth. It's early days. But the lockdown might be beginning to work linked to the chart. I'm referencing in the show. Notes and Chen He wa. The European Bureau chief for China Daily tweeted this quote. Just read that Chinese medical team sent to Italy to fight Kovic nineteen comprises mostly experienced doctors from Sichuan Sichuan folks still remember how an Italian rescue team during the devastating. Two Thousand Eight Wenchuan earthquake saved many lives. The world needs more of US helping each other and quote. There has been a lot of justified. I think hand-wringing about the scenes of people going to bars and restaurants even to Disney world. This weekend seemingly unworried about anything that is going on. This is obviously a problem for one. Big reason potential transmission from people who might not know they already have the disease indeed. There is increasing evidence that it is young people people without symptoms that might be the key driver of the spread of Corona Virus. Even more so than we realized quoting. Cnn New Studies in several countries and a large corona virus outbreak in Massachusetts Bring into question reassuring assertions by US officials about the way the novel virus spreads it appears that a Massachusetts Corona virus cluster. With at least eighty two cases was started by people who are not yet showing symptoms and more than a half dozen studies have shown that people without symptoms are causing substantial amounts of infection several experts interviewed by CNN. Said while it's unclear. Exactly what percentage of the transmission in the outbreak is fueled by people who are obviously sick versus those who have no symptoms or very mild symptoms? It is becoming clear that transmission by people who are as symptomatic or mildly symptomatic is responsible for more transmission than previously thought and quote. Indeed scientists seem to be coming to the conclusion that this is what makes corona virus so insidious it can spread far before it even sickens both mergers and SARS tend to be only spread by symptomatic people. But if you get cova did you might have spread it to fifty other people before you even know it. Add to that what we've previously discussed about how scientists suspect that you're more contagious earlier. On in the disease in a study of twenty four passengers who had just flown from Israel seven tested positive for corona virus of which four had no symptoms and the viral load of specimens from a symptomatic patients was higher than from the three patients. Who had symptoms thus the global move toward social distancing? Stay home stay out of large crowds status small crowds. There's a link to chart in the show notes that shows the difference between two towns in Italy. The two are Bergamo and loyalty. Loyalty actually had the first cove in nineteen case reported before Bergamo reported. Its first but Loki. Shut down their town February. Twenty Third Burgum. Oh waited until almost a week later by March thirteenth lucky only had around a thousand cases of corona virus and those case numbers seem to be leveling out while Burgum oh has seen case numbers shoot up to two thousand five hundred and young people. I'm talking to you. Data from South Korea where they test everyone they can is suggesting that. Thirty percent of the carriers in that country where aged twenty to twenty nine. If that's not enough to convince you let me point you to an actual animation. It is literally just balls. Dancing around and environment randomly representing infections over time. Look at what happens to the infection curve when only a quarter of a population continues to circulate and three quarters of a population practice social distancing. The infection rate is significantly slowed and with extensive distancing with seven eighths of a population staying home. The infection curve is stopped almost in its tracks. These are powerful animations but they are only animations only simulations made to educate on a concept. The concept is however. This is joke. If you can stay home let me quote. The last paragraph from the story accompanying the simulation quote in one crucial respect. These simulations are nothing like reality. Unlike simulations cove nineteen can kill though. The fatality rate is not precisely known. It is clear that the elderly members of our community are most at risk from dying from covered. One thousand nine hundred quote if you want this to be more realistic. A scientist was quoted after seeing a preview of the story some of the DOTS should disappear and quote link to the simulation is of course in the show. Notes questions are being raised as to whether or not more of US should be wearing face masks. Even if we're not showing signs of corona virus infection authorities in China already mandate the wearing of masks in all public places whether or not people are sick or healthy quoting from ink stone since late January Chinese authorities and major cities have enforced rules on wearing face masks in public spaces including detaining. Those who tried to use public transport without a mask and quote in South Korea and Japan is also required. That mask be worn by healthy people in crowded places but in much of the rest of the world including here in the US. It's advised that only people displaying symptoms should wear masks as just mentioned the possibility that corona virus can be spread by a symptomatic. People is causing some to argue for more widespread use of masks quoting again from ink stone. A symptomatic transmission has been reported in multiple countries in which a spreader is responsible for sickening others without knowing it in January at cluster. Thirteen infections was believed to have started with a British man who contracted the virus during a trip to Singapore and spread it to others on a skiing trip in the French Alps and back home in the United Kingdom all the while showing no signs of infection himself quote researchers writing in the Lancet suggested that in light of this current national advice may need updating to deal specifically with Ron Virus quoting from the peace. If everyone puts on a mask in public spaces it would help to remove stigmatization that has hitherto discouraged masking of symptomatic patients in many places. Furthermore transmission from asymmetric infected individuals has been documented for Kobe. Nineteen and viral load is particularly high at early disease. Stage masking as a public health intervention would probably intercept the transmission link and prevent these apparently healthy infectious sources and quote. All of that said as of right now. The advice remains to only wear a mask if you are displaying symptoms helping to conserve the mask as a resource masks are in short supply and are needed for medical practitioners. Who them more than the rest of us. In order to safely treat people not get sick themselves and thus stay on the job. A new study has revealed the length of time that Kobe nineteen can remain viable on common surfaces. The study so new that it is yet to be. Peer reviewed found that Corona virus was most stable on plastic and stainless steel with viable virus being detected up to seventy two hours on those surfaces after application it can also remain viable for up to twenty four hours on cardboard and up to four hours on copper. The researchers noted that these decay timings were similar to those found with the two thousand and two two thousand. Three SARS virus suggesting that quote differences in the epidemiology of these viruses likely arise from other factors including high viral loads in the upper respiratory tract and the potential for individuals infected with cove nineteen to shed and transmit the virus while a symptom matic and quote. There are presently two hundred and seventy four surface disinfectants approved by the EPA for use against Kovic Nineteen Link to the list is in the show notes at this point with store shelves increasingly bear. I'm sure a lot of us are continuing to rely on delivery especially Amazon prime delivery to keep ourselves stocked up with everything we need so that we can shelter in place. Avoid going out to stores as much as possible and just generally socially distance well an article and vices motherboard talking about the broader strains to workers in the sorting facilities and also the people who have to deliver our stuff makes the point that maybe our delivery systems are endangered as well quote. Motherboards spoke to Amazon Logistics Labor experts. Who say it's only a matter of time? Before Amazon's prime signature two day delivery promise serious delays mistakes and widespread shortages due to increased demands from consumers also pressure on workers to meet rising production quotas restrictions on trade and the possibility of fulfillment centers being. Shut DOWN AS CORONA VIRUS SPREADS. Amazon's warehouse workers. Say they're already seeing increased workloads while fewer of their colleagues are showing up to work. According Labor organizers already Amazon's white collar workers have been asked to work from home. But that's obviously not an option for warehouse fulfillment workers and delivery drivers quote. It seems really likely that. Amazon's prime delivery system will falter Daniel flaming president of Economic Roundtable and an author of the two thousand nineteen report on Amazon's economic impact on southern California told motherboard. One day deliveries may not be made within one day if the workers who do show up to warehouses are more stress given bigger routes and are possibly less experienced incorrect deliveries will be made. The last mile segment of the delivery is very labor intensive and quote flaming ads. That were likely to see a close parallel of what happens in Amazon warehouses. During the holiday rush increase delays mistakes and bottlenecks. It would seem to me. Most likely that we'll see a drop in reliability and timeliness and quote but more than that the fear here is the same with the health system basically if too many people involved in the Amazon delivery chain are even temporarily sidelined by the disease at the same time. It's possible that even Amazon delivery could go down to say nothing of the potential disruption to the supply chain I e if even Amazon can't source enough goods to
