"Yo cheetah, you're a cheater, a mistreater. You're all artificial superficial. Leave me feeling low. Quite a burn, though. Peto's is also transparent about just how their snacks stack up nutritionally when compared to Frito lays. Peto's products have less fat less sodium fewer calories and more protein and fiber than regular Cheetos funyuns in Doritos. Peto says they're peddling junk food without the junk. And that seems to have struck a chord with some consumers and investors. Peto's just closed an oversubscribed funding round, meaning he got more money than it asked for. Prominent investors include Post Holdings, the big names behind breakfast cereals, and the former head of global research and development for of all places, PepsiCo. Um. Seems like this healthier snack thing may be catching on. Indeed, to say the healthy snack industry is boomed lately, would be an understatement. The global market for healthier snack options, like peto's, was valued at $85.6 billion in 2021, and is expected to expand at an annual rate of almost 7% from 2022 to 2030, according to granville research. The pandemic made consumers more health conscious and, according to a 2020 study, nearly 60% of adults around the world preferred to eat multiple small meals throughout the day rather than three larger ones, so you could say snacks, especially healthy ones, are having something of a moment. But alas, it doesn't look like Peters will overtake Frito lay as the snack king. I had to anytime soon. Even peto's founder Nick Desai said the money the company raised this last round would be a quote rounding error for Frito lay. But design noted that he was extremely proud of what this latest round of fundraising represents a strong demand for a compelling and unique brand promise. The question remains will enough consumers be compelled to pick up healthier versions of their favorite snacks to boost peto's bottom line? Well, that's what they're hoping for. And hey, I've been in with a pond here, but I'm afraid it would be a little cheesy. Okay, happy weekend, everybody. From wondering this is business wars daily. I'm your host David Brown written and.

From wondery, I'm David Brown, and this is business works daily on this December 16th, happy Friday one and all. When it comes to snacking, one company has long dominated the industry. Frito lay is the largest seller of snack foods in the world and holds a staggering 60% market share of the potato chip industry alone. But even when you zoom out and look at all savory snacks sold in the U.S., the company still commands a 40% market share. So I think it's safe to say that millions of consumers have Cheetos dust on their fingers huh? But if one newer snack company has its way, Frito lays days of dominance will soon be a thing of the past. Snack it forwards line of snack foods looking awful lot like Frito lay's Doritos funyuns and Cheetos, but they're made with pea and lentil flour instead of corn and are a 100% vegan. They're called peto's. Get it? Peto's first hit shelves back in 2017 and have since expanded into more than 7000 retail stores, including hundreds of Walmart locations. That Pito is squaring directly against Frito lay and their most popular products is no secret. Just look at their website, which features a cartoon DJ called DJP, spinning tunes with names like taking on the big guy. Yes, this is real folks that song's lyrics include quote.

"Stepping into change can happen in a functional way in a healthy way and a constructive way or a wildly dysfunctional, unhealthy and destructive way. And sometimes the difference between the two is more subtle than we'd like to think. Welcome to the one you feed throughout time great tinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in, garbage out or you are what you think, ring true, and yet for many of us our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, self pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do, we think things that hold us back and dampen our spirit. But it's not just about thinking.

Therapy for Black Girls
"frito" Discussed on Therapy for Black Girls
"Those kinds of decisions? So I would say each partner writing like what they would like, what's non negotiable versus what has some wiggle room and finding some middle ground to middle area. Because maybe it's, I don't want the grandparents evolved I just want us. And your partner is saying, dinner is really important. What if we have a big Christmas breakfast that's just us, and then for dinner we go to my parents house, right? What if that would be a happy compromise? So I think it's important to find solutions that we're both partners feel heard, both partners feel this is what's important to me. And then knowing yourself, what is a non negotiable, these are traditions that have to be passed down versus what are some areas where I have wiggle room. And this is also why I think premarital counseling is really helpful because it allows you to think about what do we want our life to look like. How do we want to celebrate certain things? How do we want to handle these things? Before they come up and cause tension, let's think about it. Obviously, you don't necessarily know exactly how you're going to handle things until you're in this situation. But I think if there's certain value, certain traditions that you know your partner really cares about and their family really cares about, you can have that conversation even before the holidays come up. Yeah, 'cause the ideally you would want to have these conversations before it's time to send out the advice, right? Because in the tension in the stress does get a little higher. So I appreciate you offering premarital counseling is an opportunity because I think there's a lot of misconceptions about premier therapy, right? Just like we're going to therapy already, like we're doomed kind of thing. Exactly. But that is the space where you're having these kinds of conversations so that you can avoid. You just don't think about it until it's holiday time and you're like, oh, I didn't know that was important to you. Exactly. And even when I say premarital, I just mean pre marriage. It doesn't even have to be that you're engaged. I know for some people they're like, if we're already in therapy and we're not even engaged yet, what is the problem? But to your point, it doesn't always have to be that there's a problem when you go to therapy. A lot of times therapy can be and should be prevented. It can be conversations about how we want to handle these things, learning skills and tools, instead of going to therapy when it's already been years of resentment, years of problems, and then it's like, I don't like this person, I don't know if we want to be together, you know? So having these discussions and thinking about it beforehand can definitely be helpful. Obviously, when dating, I think you don't know until you start to get into dating seriously with that person. So if you're dating someone and this is the first time that you're meeting their family or blending families, I would just say going into it with an open experience, dating is all about learning your partner, learning what works for you and what doesn't. So being observant, not judgmental, there's a difference, but just being open to seeing what parts of the family impacted your partner, what made them, you know, who you want to be with today and things that you learn and things like that. I think the assumption is always there might be tension, but you'd be surprised because some families can be very opening and very welcoming and you can have a lot of fun. So going in with an open mind. So this is the perfect segue into the scenario number two. Okay. So this one is my fiance's parents are flying out this holiday season to meet my parents for the first time. I'm nervous because my family doesn't have a traditional Christmas. My parents own their own business and because they work so much we don't celebrate together like other families are accustomed to. We eat dinner at 8 p.m. it might not open presents until ten. I want to show my future in laws a good time, but I'm concerned that our holiday traditions won't cut it in comparison to their more traditional type of fun. What comes to mind is you want to show them a good time so it can be like this is how we do it over here and it's still fun. We're still doing the same things as just later in the day. So maybe it's like during the day we watch movies or we do other stuff and then we have a late dinner and then we open the presents and especially if there's not little kids usually little kids are the only ones that are waking up at the crack of dogs over present. So if there's no little kids in the mix, it can be a very exciting no it's not traditional, but this is our tradition and we welcome you to it. This is something that has worked for us. Maybe explaining like this is why it has become this way. It's not that we don't care about Christmas. This is just what works for us. And we invite you to, you know, have fun hour way. And so I know for some people, I want to say my family would sometimes do like a movie day. My family loves a Christmas story. I don't, but they do. And so it's always on and things like that. So maybe it's like having a movie day or doing something before the presence, but giving them still a fun time. And if they're visiting, maybe it's taking them around different places in the area. I don't know where exactly they'd be going to, but a lot of places have lights or certain things that you do around Christmas time. So maybe it's we go out to dinner, we do these things late. And then once it's dark, we go, we take a drive around and see the lights or we do other things where it's still just as fun. It just doesn't have to be the chronological order of what they expect. Yeah, and I wonder if this might not be an opportunity for this couple to store some of their own traditions, right? Or maybe a way to incorporate some of the families, the other families, traditions. So if they do more daytime activities like are there things that they can do in the daytime before dinner, right? So maybe that's like baking things or decorating something or it might be an opportunity to kind of start some new stuff or to kind of blend both of the families traditions. Like maybe decorating the tree, obviously people might expect that the tree would be decorated before Christmas. But that could be something where you frame it as we wanted this to be something we all do together. So we saved decorating the tree for all of us to do it or baking is a good one. Decorating ornaments. Yeah, ornaments, gingerbread houses, if you're into that, you know, there's so many Christmas activities. That you can do. And so just approaching it with, again, curiosity, but also it can be a fun experience, right? It doesn't have to be exactly what everyone is used to. And that's also how you can frame it as me and my fiance is we are starting this new life together. We appreciate this aspect of our traditions on this side and we appreciate this aspect of traditions on this side and this is our way of remixing it.

"Kurt schlichter is here to help us unpack the raid on Mar-a-Lago Kurt. Here's what I'm trying to understand, why do you believe Merrick Garland has remained silent on the raid? Is there some Discord within DoJ why the silence from the attorney general? Well, it's all part of the plan, Charlie. Look, people keep treating this as if it's some sort of legitimate activity. And you have these soft Frito con senators like what we need to wait to see what evidence they have. Hey, dummy. Have you been a sweets since 2016? These guys have spent the last 6 years trying to frame the president. You think suddenly they're on to something? You think now they finally struck painter? Oh, he took a classified document with him in his files. Oh, we got him now because classified material. Next, you can't have that nail the memo went out. It's a crime again. Look, he's not saying anything because the purpose of this is to intimidate conservatives. It's to try and drum up a reaction from conservatives and conservatives have been taking in general the proper approach. They're not young about torches and pitchforks. Instead, they're focusing on cold and relentless fury. And they will take their revenge. The correct way at the ballot box. And then with brutal and ruthless oversight of these petty fascists. So they remain silent or he speaks, it's all irrelevant because it's all a lie.

"Repair it between fights. Yeah. We got beef. We got tweaks. Murph is breaking out the whole arsenal this episode. I'm here for it. Beef and tweaks. It's the new cheese and beef. My favorite British show, beefy tweakers. For some reason, it made me visualize a beef and Twix. Like just one of the Twix is replaced by a lock of beef. New. Beef and Twix. Left to exes now beef Twix. Which one? We're not saying. They're both covered in chocolate. Full of caramel and nougat. One is full of beef. Surprise beans. Chocolate covered blog. Fashion finding into a two X and it just being a sausage. Oh my God. If I knew it was coming, I could absolutely get on board, but if I didn't, that's an awful experience. I think it'd be cool. It's like the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory golden ticket thing, but you have to eat it to find out if you got it. If you get the beef Twix, you actually work the Twix factory. To see where they make the beef. Congratulations, my boy. You get a beefy Twix. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory really made people think that factories were cooler than they were. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, I don't think many factories have a magical tunnel that you can go through where the owner is going to sing you a song. There's no kaleidoscope tunnels in most factors. Maybe Frito lay has one. I don't know. It's tough because I feel like this DM is really wants to play like a hardcore just scraping your knuckles for every victory you can get sort of game. But gosh, it seems so hard to balance that and still have fun. And it seems like they're really not having fun. Yeah. That's what I got from this from this note is that it sounds like you and the other players aren't having fun and I just think that most DMs would like to work with you to come up with something that was more fun to play. And so if it's a matter of they want it to be really hard, like maybe you can kind of say to them like it's taking a little bit of the fun out for me is there something we can come up with like we can repair them or we have an idea of where we can learn how to repair them or we have an idea of, I don't know, even just like I kind of wish that this DM would just put more cool weapons in your way. It's baldur's gate. Just into avernus, I feel like Murph isn't that where you pulled some of the cool war machines from? Yeah. So there's definitely like tinkerers and like weirdos they could tell you a sword down here. Yeah, I would think so. But also, I don't know. It'd also be sick in the middle of battle to just like be fighting someone with a really like a better sword than you and if they came up with mechanics for you to try to steal that sword. From them, that seems that seems like the fun outcome. Because of this kind of restrictive role. Part of me feels like our suggestions here are what the DM is hoping for. I think so. That's what I wonder. Yeah, they want the player to find an in game solution. Like I would challenge this player to have fun at the table and trying to solve this thing that the DM is thrown at the end. Yeah. I get it though, 'cause it's like when you add realism to campaigns or when you add consequences like this, it should kind of be done in the name of realism. And I don't think that it's very realistic. I think it's actually like cartoonishly against the players to be like every 20 times you swing your sword one time you do something that's gonna break it or badly damage it. That's pretty crazy and pretty unrealistic. Yeah, I don't know in a world of like dragons and stuff. It's kind of weird to be like swords are worse here. I guess I would need to know like is this DM trying to say this is for this whole campaign or is this DM? Just in avernus. They said magical weapons don't get damaged like this. So there is hope for the future. That's kind of the other thing I take umbrage with is it seems like two of the players already have magical weapons. That is fucked up. Yeah, that is unfair. I feel like if you're all leveling at the same rate, like you all get your magic weapons at the same time and this isn't a big deal. This seems like it should be like one a little bit. That's true, that's true. But we don't know how many games they've how many sessions they've played or any of that kind of stuff. That one's that doesn't pass the smell test to me. It's a little dicey. Jake, I really like that you're trying to give the DM a little credit and say that the players need to solve this puzzle on their own. But yeah, I don't know. There's a bit of a stink here. This is a bit of a poo poo odor in the air to me. Yeah. There's some duty here for sure. You should just be able to repair it. It should be like, yeah, your blade is dulled by this fight because like you swung and you kept hitting shields or something like that. Yeah. I feel like a minus two or something. It feels almost like the DM is trying to put stakes on every single role. Like you roll a one and something can happen to yours. But I don't think this actually makes the game much more interesting. I would rather be like focused on am I killing monsters that are we doing stuff, not like is my gear breaking. The idea that it's only fun for me if you're also giving the monsters.

Frito-Lay Strike Could End as Workers Vote on a New Labor Agreement
"Workers who have been striking in Topeka, Kansas, for more than two weeks are voting today on a new labor agreement. Frank Morris of member station K. C U R reports the proposed contract eases some working conditions at the plant and would raise salaries, but those concessions may not be enough to compete in a tight labor market. Union strong Oh, one thing you learn, talking to the strikers outside the sprawling Frito Lay plant Topeka, the people who make Cheetos, Fritos and chips they can work similar long hours. I am a very hardworking woman. I work like him. Helen Teeter done up in a bright red shirt. Big white hat says she has very little time for family. I have no time to go work for them because I've been working seven days a week. Like 84 hours a week. 84 hours a week, Peter says the money's good up to double the normal $20 an hour wage with overtime. In a statement, Frieda Lee says only about 2% of its Topeka workers average more than 60 hours a week. But the company routinely forces workers to pick up extra hours and to skip scheduled days off even those with seniority like Marlon Smith. I've been here 22 years and I still get force for seven days a week. Maybe, like two or 3, 12 2 or 3 12 hour shifts. The contract Smith and others are voting on today would guarantee one day off a week. It would also end what workers call suicide shifts. 2 12 hour shifts with only eight hours in between. There's a proposed 4% raise over the next two years. But there may not be enough workers have more leverage now, and the signs of that are impossible to miss. They just put this up last week.

"To keep our money all right. Well we gotta take our second break. So let's do that and when we come back we'll talk about. Let's see ooh there is a strike in kansas. Among frito lay workers. I want to give you the details on that more so stick around what's up everyone. Welcome back to. Typ an-and woz with you if you haven't done it already. Liken share the stream get more eyeballs on it. We want people watching all right. So thank you for your support and thank you for in advance for doing that was. Are you ready to talk about this worker strike in kansas because do it. Let's do it. Frito lay factory workers are striking for the first time until pika kansas This is in regard to the working conditions and more importantly the insane work hours and the fact that they're not able to take a day off due to a lack of workers so many of the eight hundred fifty workers at the facility say that they work eighty four hours a week with no days off. Workers are nominally supposed to work eight hour shifts but because of shortages workers are often forced to add on an extra four hours before or after their shifts and the word forced is relevant. Here right because this isn't an option. Like hey you wanna make extra money and maybe work some overtime hours. No it's not up for discussion. In fact these workers say that they're punished if they say no workers call these extended shifts suicides because they say the schedule kills you over time. Some workers haven't had a single day off in five months including saturdays and sundays and finally before we get to some video of these workers in its latest contract offer. Frito lay has said it would raise wages by four percent over the next two years and put a cap at sixty hours a week. Freely workers are unionized with bakery confectionery tobacco workers and grain millers local to eighteen. Say that's not enough and are demanding an end to forced overtime. So they're striking and solidarity with them I think that they're striking for an incredibly important reason. And i don't want to put words in their mouths. Why don't we hear. From the workers..

"And we're back And net flicks first of all net flicks just hired a head of pont so coming to take the food out of a baby's mouth but also they are apparently aiming to do some video game excited about what did they want like a video game section. What's happening super not clear. It's early stages. They hired mike verdoux. Who used to work for facebook acquiring games for the oculus headset. So this guy's clearly. In the now i work with a bunch of different Video game development companies so. It sounds like what they're gonna do. Is you put it right next to the movies and television shows. I don't know what kind of controller you'll need if they're going to come out with their own specific kind if you can buy any generic kind and connect it. It's just not really clear yet. It's still very early days. But it's an exciting opportunity. Because i think they're looking to launch new release video games so the league opportunity for indie developers. In my opinion it'd be opportunity for indie developers to be like. Hey here's my game that most people would not normally by giving on this very large form And it sounds like at this point in time. They're not planning to increase. Its not like an additional package. You'd have to buy. It would just come with the rest of the stuff. Wow so you wouldn't have to buy a console. just be able to play through netflix. I don't know how many different things that. I'm not sure how it's going to all work game chat. Totally absolutely yeah. It's exciting to see. And the potential for indie game developers which there are so many right now to have a large platform to launch. Their game could could be exciting. Deadpool is trending There is a new movie coming out. Called save guy. is that what is called. Savior free guy. That is in which Ryan reynolds plays a video game character. Who find out. He's a video game character. It's like Video game cross with truman. Show up and is it's very matter. Continues with ram reynolds as thing of being meta in meta movies and to complete the madness of it all. They released a dead pool trailer for free guy which is dead pool commenting on ryan reynolds serum meal as well as tyco so surreal and was confusing to me at phrases was like twentieth century. Fox inch free guy. And here's deadpool. I thought a fox property and then it like dawned on me like all right. Disney purchased twentieth century fox or acquired it and then they also put core game because deadpool hasn't officially entered the marvel universe yet. This is technically his first appearance in the mc you maybe but it's a trailer on youtube so it's not really the emc you but he's interacting with characters again. Sort of for the first time in the first deadpool movie bunch of nca characters begin not from marvel's disney from fox so the incest of studios overlap and it also seems like a potentially like a legal hurdles had wild. It really blew my mind watching it. I still can't fully process. What if literally anything it means. Other than like ryan reynolds is just a g and could do whatever he wants now. He's sort of superstar status of now. Having to adhere to the typical disney rules. These actors performers have delayed leave real strict clean cut lies like you do not want to upset the mouse gene. She knows but but he also can reach out to these other companies and other things and still find a way to fold back into dental because that character has been designed to be like so mad and out of the box again. I don't know if it means anything long term. Or if this is just a weird one thing ryan gets to do and i just have to like marvel at help. Bizarre it is. It was weird. I don't know literally marvelous literally. So so this is because deadpool has not been in the marvel universe. This is like a the first time that deadpool has crossed over into the marvel universe. And it's because of those two characters being on this. Someone pointed out like they were both in. Dc property because ryan played green lantern. Taika has a bit part in that green lantern movie. This is technically a reunion for those guys but for different company or it will joel It's been such a pleasure having you On td z. We only got five stories. But that's all the time we had.

Game birds are actually food species at some level That's true but You know so that that kind of stuff. I think is really I don't think that there's a lot of resistance to that. I think there's more resistance to shrinking the project. If you ever talk about shrinking the project that that raises hassles there is going to be less water in general going to farmers and that that starts to set off alarm bells. Yeah is that.

Of the Dorito, another wildly popular Friedel, a product that has been long attributed to a Frito They employee named ARJ West. However, that origin story has also been contested. Gustavo Arellano, the columnist at the L. A times who we heard from in the intro, is also the author of the book Taco USA. How Mexican Food Conquered America. While doing research for his book, Gustavo uncovered the true origin of Doritos. When I was doing my story about my book, Arch West executive with Frida Lay passed away and you see all these obituaries you know, Los Angeles Times included NPR, saying the arch Wes was a man who invented Doritos where I'm like. Let me investigate this a little bit, and I turned out that it wasn't Arch West. It was actually the Morales family of Anaheim, who are pioneers in their own way in Southern California with a brand of tamales called Excellency, Tamales. They told me the story that gave documents to me. I confirmed the story with Khalida Doolin, who's the daughter of Elmer Doolin. But even Gustavo didn't think of investigating. Richard Story was just so again. It was such a feel good story. I'm like, I don't need to confirm it. It really was just bad reporting on my part.

Cheetos Star Is a Flaming Hot Liar
"This story was originally spread by the guy Richard montanez, who's told this story for the last decade about how he invented flaming hot Cheetos. And the world has been eating it up. And if you haven't heard the story, look, the guy was working as a janitor at Frito lay and Rancho cook among at the plant out here in California. And he dreamed up this chili covered Cheeto. And his version of the story is he believed enough in himself to call up the chief executive to pitch his idea. And, you know, people tried to sabotage it, he said, but he said he out hustled him. Because he had a hundred to succeed. And of course, flaming hots became a runaway hit, and montez, rose through the ranks, and became this icon. He had a lot of speaking engagements, the guy has a lot of, what's the word? A lot of pizazz, and it's easy to see why this story is taken off. The road is charisma. It's got some charisma. And he tells this story of a Mexican American underdog who conquered the corporate world. I was a rag to riches story. People love that shit. Problem is it's not true. That's not true. And I told this story because it's becoming a Hollywood movie. And I thought, wow, this is fun. This is a really fun story. What a great no, it's all bullshit. It's all bullshit. Believe this? So this guy basically built this second career out of telling and selling this story. And he would get fees of ten grand or 50 grand per speaking engagement. He wrote a book called flamin hot the incredible true story of one man's rise from janitor to top executive. It's coming out in June. I didn't publish it himself. Random House is publishing it. There's a biography based on his life that's gonna be directed by Ava Longoria, produced by the super producer Devon Franklin. They're filming this summer. I mean, the book and the movie, there were bidding wars for this shit. And none of it's true. He didn't invent flaming hot Cheetos. The people at Frito lay said none of our records show that Richard was involved in any capacity in the flaming hot test market. We've interviewed multiple personnel who were involved in a test market and all of them indicate that Richard was not involved in any capacity in this market. It doesn't mean we don't celebrate Richard, but the facts do not support this urban

The white house is all pepsi products and all of the products and the machine. Not just the fritos got more expensive so we called pepsi. they would not comment. They declined to comment. Okay find out thanks. i know. Luckily there was a second clue. A note left the scene of the crime. There is a note on the vending machine from the the people that stock the machine to are valued patrons effective in the next couple of weeks. The prices in the vending machine may be adjusted to offset increases. We have received in product costs from manufacturers so presumably the wholesale cost of the fritos have gone up and they're passing those along to us but it is kind of curious at a time when corn prices are down. And you know there's only three things in a frito. There's there's corn corn oil and salt. Well how naive to think vaga free does. Caroline dimitri is an applied economist at nyu who specializes food studies and seem kind of offended by the idea that might only have three corn prices at anything to do with the price of corn chips right by the way we tried calling the vending machine company. Sometimes yeah but they would not call us back. Nobody wants to give us a comment so we turn to. The experts and caroline is an expert.

That's what I mean when they say identified, not black owned, identifies his black own means that somebody check that box that it's a black owned business.

Going to penn state in setting journalism thinking that i had to go down the newspaper track because that was what was accessible at the time versus magazines. What i really want always wanted to do.

We super appreciate it and we welcome you on the show this week. It's been an awesome year of NBC. Got This GIG last August starting my senior year of College McMahon. Twenty. It's GONNA be year. It's going to be the best year for me. At prediction was was very untrue, but I've loved working on NBC. Well, we did get to do a thing that we do everybody who's worked with gene for year, which is broken your house in spray painted the logo on your shirt. So yeah. Yeah, got. Bad. It's still drying right here. Comfortable. I Apologize. But Hey guys so much for joining me this week. Let's start off by talking about the big news, which actually Nintendo finally decided to reveal something before recorded. So I'm very grateful for that thanking Intendo, but we finally known antennas next scheduled release. It will be picked three deluxe out on Astra with. For Fifty, nine, ninety, nine. No. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So You Brian, we're your pigment fan I look pick. Yeah, you. excited. Yeah, yes. Yes. Yes. I, am I'm all for. Every last great. We you exclusive game to no longer be that and to be brought to a platform where millions more people can enjoy it. And I've picked threes really fun. It's really good game. What I'm a little annoyed about with this is that. They. D listed the version. Basically, the exact moment that they announced this version and the version was on was selling for twenty dollars. So. That's kind of A. Weird situation. 'cause like. They're. They're basically telling their fans like if. If you have access to switch, this is where you'll have to play this game because you won't be able to get this anywhere else for cheaper. And also that the it's it's three times the price. Now, they're adding stuff to it, which obviously, we'll get into a, but yet my gut reaction was gay pigment three, and then also boo to the price of then also, you're totally going to pay that price, get pigment three under switch. So yeah, you're totally right. The an I also wanted to mention that we're bringing up the kind of skis tactic of taking it off the we shop. You. Guys noticed that all of the the vouchers that people bought I think it was, it was one hundred dollars for for two vouchers, one voucher per game, and they expired on July thirty first, which is right. Before they made this announcement I know at least one person in our podcast forums on facebook mentioned that they actually called Nintendo customer service and asked for the. Vouchers to get an extension and they granted him the extension by another year. It is now too late to do that. Ari. Or maybe not maybe if you have expired vouchers sitting around, you can call customer service and have them I'm so sorry, Nintendo customer service workers. You guys get a flux of collars because of this, but hey, it's worth a shot right especially if you haven't used them yet. But that was kind of embarrassed about this whole thing to like you mentioned, the vouchers are to one hundred bucks, which means if you buy, you know sixty bucks a sixty dollar game you're saving. Ten Bucks per game, which is a great deal. But you. They stopped selling them like a year ago. Yesterday, basically, two days ago, and with the expiration, you could put them towards stuff that was available for preorder. But because Pittman three wasn't available for preorder. You couldn't put it towards that Nintendo has been pretty quiet about. Announcing Twenty Twenty lineup arrested twenty twenty WANNA and so. You didn't really have anywhere to put that money and then. They retire those vouchers in three days. Later, there were like Pittman three and so A. Libertarian Carriers I. Wish I'd have panned out a little bit better. Yeah not crazy about I will. I would have been more forgiving if they announced it like the day, the vouchers expired because then at least people would be like I, have to spend it on this. Now, I mean, it still would have been a little bit questionable, but not nearly as various as this was i. don't Know Logan Seth? Did you guys by those doctors? No, I. Didn't I thought. It was I would just spend the extra ten bucks. I'm not really a digital player I mostly get physical stuff, but I thought another weird thing about it is like a third of the Games. You could get with voucher dollars. You weren't even saving anything on a bunch of the options. So that was another kind of weird part about the voucher system. I was just never onboard with the whole thing. You. No I didn't buy the batches. I. Actually Forgot

Cooking for the Family During Self-Isolation
"Carla Music First of all how are you doing? I'm doing okay. I am thankful for a lot of things right now. One of them being that. There's actually space at home for us to not be on top of each other. So I'm very grateful for that because we're GONNA be together for a while. Yeah I mean we've had ESI had marlins moaning I have spent a really nice actually four or five days family time been very chill. Marlins been great and I appreciate it. A Lot I do wonder come like day thirty. We're all gonna be doing but so far I feel like everyone has been stepping up to the challenge. I think I've been trying to be understanding of of what's in front of US totally on the food front. We recorded a few weeks ago about how to sort of prepare for this and at the time it was almost theoretical abstract like. Oh Yeah Okay we're GONNA go buy a bunch of groceries and it almost seemed by okay shore and now that we're fully in it. I'm just curious to understand how you're doing. And like what has come to fruition. What lessons have you learned? What's working what's not working yeah. It's almost quaint looking back on that conversation now. I think we were thinking about it. Like Blizzard was coming. You know we were going to be home for a few days So one of the resets for me has been really thinking about how to incorporate both kind of a pantry that is going to help me build meals and keeping enough fresh food and freezer in stock for variety. And so that I don't feel like every meal has to be a project you know. That's a good point because some meals. You want to be a project because you want something to do. Maybe you want to get the family involved. And there's other times where I had bought a bunch of frozen little Ravioli. Sorta things at the Italian market and one night right. Let's just watch a movie and not to a big me. All of us for the freezer oil them up in Boston with some butter and Parmesan nutbag and that was delicious but was super simple in not time consuming. Yeah I think that's really important because when we have this idea that we're gonNA be stuck inside because of like a weather event or You know things that may be as humans in this world. We can relate to being stuck at home for a few days in not context. It's really fun to do a big project and cook all day but now that what we're really thinking about is no. This is normal. Life in normal life is at home. And maybe your kids are doing online classroom and you have to make lunch like you can't be kind of elbows deep in like a big project as best bully as a LASAGNA. When you know someone needs a peanut butter and Jelly Sandwich. So I'm just trying to think about that balance having some things that are hands off and take maybe a few hours to Cook Lake stock or a braise but really thinking about that as multiple meals down the line And then also balancing that with like you know I. I really heated some. I had some conference chicken okay. So like that's a personnel guy. No problem that I had but I had confused chicken in my fridge that I had made like several weeks ago and last night I decided you know. Use a couple can black beans Heated those up. I had a so Frito I had done a big batch so Frito so I have like little jars of so frito really easy way to get a lot of fast flavor. Made the Black Beans Chris. Step chicken thighs heated up. Some FAJITAS put out sour cream and we kind of had like a little Taco night. You remind me of a meal. Sonic who believes that nothing ever really goes bad in the frigerator I had to. I got to Jars Schmaltz out of the deal too. So you know what works we. We were in Zoom meeting about twenty of US earlier today Talking about story ideas and just that notion of talking about lunch that when we're all stuck at home we still need to sort of build some sort of schedule for ourselves and like actually take time to sit down at a table and eat lunch and that otherwise your day into sort of tumble for one thing to the next five thirty. And you're like wow. I'm still in my sweatpants. And I haven't had an actual meal or a moment to communicate with someone in a non-professional level or something I think that's really important. I thought was a great tip. Last time we spoke was a like. Yeah we want some fresh ingredients in our diet. It's not just pantry but then to be mindful about the shelf life of those items and so I we bought much stuff at a farmers market in this beautiful celery but after a few days celery Kinda rubbery you know it's Kinda limp and other well. Meanwhile denied these two big heads of cabbage. Stomach all right. The cabbage is fine. That's a cool place. That'll probably be fine a month from now but that salary I need to make tonight Ross is GonNa go bad so I ended up making that Tiger Salad. We HAVE ON DOT COM sites up to celery salons cucumbers a rice wine assessment addressing and that was delicious and a made it also with that the next subject again. We'll be touched on a few weeks ago but I did end up going to Dixon's Farm San meets. Which if you have a nice butcher shop near you. This is a great time to buy a bunch of cuts of meat. That if they can back you seal them and you can just immediately freeze up. Yeah Antibiotic a Little Flat Iron Steak. Which is kind of a thin cut and I just didn't even defrost it all the way. So it's actually you can slice it thin easier. That way. It made Chris Morocco's Basic Bogie Korean style Bogie Dot Com and that was delicious and easy and fast and it just felt like a sensible balance like right one thing from the freezer one fresh ingredient before it goes bad But you know it's again. It's sort of ingredient management. We're all GONNA have to deal with in the coming months. I think I love that Bogie Recipe. By the way I saw your picture. It looked so good. I think that one thing. I'm trying to reassure people as often as possible. There's a lot of food. In the grocery stores we got a lot of we kinda got bombarded at the beginning with this like Armageddon. Everybody was posting pictures of all the empty shelves and Empty Freezer case. And I think it really freaked a lot of people out and I think that if you're going to like a big box store that maybe had a huge volume of people very quickly that that was true there that that inventory was depleted fast. But I really do want everybody to remember that. There's a lot of food in the United States. And there's a lot of distribution that is one hundred percent intact and not to feel like you need to have in the house right now. A month's worth of three meals a day for the next thirty days I think keeping a balance of pantry staff fresh food freeze. You know free some meat free sausages whatever it is in Kinda keep those zones replenished but no one can fit enough food for thirty days in their fridge at once anyway and and and you shouldn't feel like you have to show taking it like one week ten days at a time but you know I am. I know being mindful about being in crowds and stuff like that. Grocery stores are open. Be Safe about it when you go in and you can buy food. Yeah thankfully I think we're we're in good shape right now Spatial management is also interesting. I am the roundabout story but I'm old friends from way. Back in the day with Andrew Carmelina who is now a race. That's Shafie done a bunch of restaurants in New York and Detroit And yesterday they had to shut down all the restaurants and at least temporarily lay off. Four hundred people Something that's the entire restaurant. Industry has been crippled right now. It's really unclear how that's all going to play out and who's going to have to make a living. Cetera ET CETERA And yet he was a literally clearing out their kitchens and a lot of food they were able to give away. He had like twenty loaves of frozen bread. He's like do you want some bread and one thing. I do think that a tip which I know you guys do in the kitchen which is nice. If you have a loaf of bread you can slice it up. Put it in a ziplock bag and then freeze that time you can take out one slice toasted instead of having to defrost entire low for whatever and eat it. All at once which I think is great advice the challenge. I'm having we have a small. Caesar saw Mike will can I? What can I fit in the Freezer M. I? Managing my freezer space properly or do I have a bunch of random stuff in there that I don't really need which your freezer thoughts I use my freezer really to freeze components for meals instead of like complete meals so for example everybody is talking about that all the frozen pizzas were. Gone Gel. Which is hilarious. Again I get it but if I went out and bought six frozen pizzas entire. Freezer would be full. You know is not there. They're not very efficient. Use of space But things like cooking grains freezing them in Ziplock bags. You confed a lot of that into the into the freezer timeout. You mentioned this last time. You're saying like if you have like Farro or something you'll boil it cook it and then you cool it yeah trey and then put in Ziplock Bag. Yeah and then when you unfreeze it so you can just unfreeze it. You could make a stir fry from it at that point. You could make a grand salad. Once it comes back to room temperature warmed back up and dress it with a little olive oil. You could add it to a brosse soup You could make a you know. Kind of ad hoc risotto out of it. You know Could you should. You should write a cookbook. I've thought about it. You could also reheat it. I have been This is a very like nostalgic delicious thing to me but grains can go sweet too so you could warm up some Grains that were cooked just with a little bit of salt water and even if they had a little bit of olive oil. Warm those up like you would Oatmeal a little bit of milk. Some cinnamon hung little drizzle of Maple resting would be like a delicious breakfast or honestly like if you need a little comfort food for
Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry
Empty The Pews with Ex-Evangelical Chrissy Stroop
"Hi I'm Christie stroup. I'm a transgender. Ex jellicoe sorry not sorry so you and I first met on twitter. I think around two thousand seventeen shortly after the election. Your Twitter Bio Reids X. Evangelical Writer and Russian History PhD Trans Girl and sometimes snark Easter. I'd like frito briefly. Tell us a little bit about your childhood. Where did you grow up? What was your childhood like so I grew up mostly in north suburb of Indianapolis called. Fisher's was born a small town in Northern Indiana. But my family moved down there When I was around five years old and after kindergarten and with the exception of half of sixth grade I was in Christian schools the entire time of my elementary and secondary education. And when I say Christian school I don't mean a Jesuit Academy or something like that you know the The schools that call themselves Christian schools or Christian Academy's they're usually more like the ones where second lady Karen Pence teaches art where they're very anti. Lgbtq or they mobilized the kids for doing culture wars kind of advocacy and involvements. Illiberal civics if you will so you know. I had a drilled into my head in church and Christian schools from a very early age that liberals are these horrible people who kill babies and we have to stop them and we also have to stop gay people from having rights. Can you talk a little bit? About the history of Evangelical Ism sure the Histories of Evangelical Ism that have been written a lot of them have been written by people who come out of the more like moderate to liberal tradition evangelical right if somewhat sympathetic to it and they want to locate the origins of Evangelical Ism and things like the second grade awakening in the abolitionist movement. And it's true that a kind of evangelical protestantism was a motivating factor for the abolition of slavery in Britain and the United States. But that's not really the ancestor the direct ancestor of what we call evangelical protestantism or what it has mostly become in the United States today. If you WANNA look at what evangelical ISM is in the United States today. And here we're talking mostly about white evangelical. There are some evangelical of color that would also fall into this category but there are also some Christians of color that some people would call evangelical somewhat not someone self defined as evangelical than some would not clear very different and they vote very differently. But you know this right mostly white evangelicalism. It's the descendant of slaveholders Christianity. It's you know the descendant of denominations involved is still all these denominations as well like the Southern Baptist Convention which split off of other Baptists over the issue of slavery because you know these northern Baptist groups decided that they didn't want they didn't think slave owners should be missionaries what became the Southern Baptist Convention. Thought that was very insulting so they broke away so they could have missionary owned slaves. And you know this is also seriously inflected through the Cold War anti communism and in American history that's really inseparable from the civil rights. Movement are far right-wing anticommunist they denounce Martin Luther King as a communist that sort of thing and you know initially people like Jerry Falwell senior. Who of course built the moral majority you know he? He mobilized Christians around opposition to civil rights legislation and integration and today evangelical. Who are still very much in that tradition They try to distance themselves from that history but it is their history and my history too. I mean I grew up that way and they still vote to uphold white supremacism. Even if they won't admit it and there's another key moment there too that I sort of forgot to go over earlier. Which is there. Were these debates in theology in the early twentieth century between the so-called modernists. Who are able to move away from Biblical liberalism and the fundamentalists and this is actually where the term fundamentalists came from. There is a series of pamphlets published starting in Nineteen fifteen called the fundamentals and today's evangelical are also very much the descendants of the fundamentalist side of those early twentieth century debates so evangelical in the United States. It's best to consider the type of fundamentalist Christianity even if some evangelical fundamentalists would define themselves against each other. If we take a step back and look at it through kind of a scholarly framework. It's it's very much a variety of Christian fundamentalism. I wanted to get a better understanding of really what your life was. Like as an evangelical Christian. Can you describe that to me? I mean were you happy yeah. That's a complicated question. And the kind of things that happen to you. When you end up rejecting the ideology when you change politically and religiously from your family and a high demand religious group and a thorough -tarian religious group like this. You know people will accuse you of quote unquote attacking everything we stand for a direct. I heard from multiple relatives of mine. They will accuse you of hating your entire childhood but I did not hate my entire childhood and they don't hate my entire childhood. Now I also definitely didn't get the worst of Evangelical Ism so as we now know there was a big expose. I think over seven hundred cases as far as I recall last year. Were exposed of child sexual abuse and cover ups in the Southern Baptist Convention. You know that didn't happen to me I. I didn't get the worst kind of corporal punishment. The worst guy was being spanked with a wooden spoon. But corporal punishment is highly emphasized and Evangelical Communities Spare the Rod and spoil the child and all that and any fundamentalist group they create these kind of parallel institutions and structures this whole parallel society alongside mainstream American society. So they look at outsiders as quote unquote the world. That's the phrase that they use. The world is scary. You're supposed to kind of go into it. Sometimes and convert people but most of our social life was people we knew through church and Christian school and so I was isolated that way and then they also build up kind of a whole system of as I said parallel institutions and even publishing houses books a Christian music industry this sort of stuff to reinforce a set of alternative facts if you will and to kind of expose and highlight that a couple years ago I coined the Hashtag Christian facts to look at the kinds of alternative facts that children raised in. This environment are indoctrinated with you. Know things like the Loch ness monster might be real. And that's more proof that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time you know. There's a lot of really really really wild stuff. Some of it has much more well. Maybe just differently problematic implications and that I mean once you start to get into things like purity culture and what I like to call fake sex. Ed they tell you things like you know. Condoms can't stop the AIDS virus. Abortion causes breast cancer and lots of other stuff that's just completely made up

"As you can hear. Dr Frida is incredibly busy. She and I chatted about the work. That she's done around health disparities. The fact that she believes have lit her success her tips for being a good tea house. She tends to her own mental health wellbeing so incredibly busy and she shared the four groups of people. She thinks we all need to have in our lives to continue to grow. If you hear something while listening that resonates with you please share with us on social media using the Hashtag. Tv In session. Here's our conversation. Thank you so much for joining us today. Dr Frito. Oh It is my pleasure. I am so happy to be able to chat with you. Someone who has had such an illustrious career really focused on working on health disparities really taking care of people who are struggling. So I want to hear from you. What's your career has been like. I WanNa hear what helped you to even focus on studying health disparities as your career. Well for starters started as a child interested in health disparities because my passion for Madison. My decision to become a doctor was when I six years old and I grew up in a home that included my uncle that came to live with us when I was born. My father's brother one year younger who had been paralyzed at the hands of polio infection. When she was years old and I had a lot of exposure to help issues and to the healthcare system it you would the people that took care of my uncle in both the primary care environment as well as surgical and rehabilitation and other environment and we had great experiences and so I wanted to be a part of that but as I grew and understood what we were facing as a family it was clear we were not necessarily getting access to or the benefit of things that others were getting the benefit of at least not without a fight and then when I went to medical school at Howard University in Washington DC. I had a chance from the other side see the ramifications that lead to disparities everything from the Economic Environment The physical neighborhood and environment education food all of the above and then I was really hooked in trying to find a way to address it wherever I could. Yeah I think is really interesting that you do some of your training at Howard because I think that that kind of primes you right to be focusing on these kinds of topics in our community. Well it primes me and forced me to action in large ways and small way literally. I would look at the data to figure out what medications I should get my patients and those and understand what would happen to them. One I did and the data was lacking the study had not been done in my patient. I would note. Is Well. Gee I gave her medication to my patient and it says here the likelihood of getting these facts was a but it seems to me that they're higher in the group that I'm serving and so I began to see that. Not only did we have work to do. In addressing the parity. We had a lot of work to do in understanding disparities and then understanding what we could do about it so having patients in clinical trials just as a small example so that we could really understand what medicines or procedures would be best applied to a patient population. Kinda the beginnings of individualized personalized health. And so that started a whole fourth. I'd eat for me and what I called Ethno psychopharmacology but looking at the medicine used to treat. Anxiety and depression is yeah and trying to get a better understanding of whether or not race and ethnicity had an effect on which medicines might work better with those might work better what to expect in terms of side effects and so it's really at that level that I think we have some understandings game in order to completely address health disparity issues and that's a great lead into my next question because I'm curious to hear from you. What kinds of things you think we do need to continue to be focused on in terms of health disparities so I think we have a few layers to focus on. We've got to do something about our policies and practices. That would help us address. Some of the factors that we talked about. I don't think we completely saw health disparity issue in our community until we address some of the economic challenges and so how to get equity or quality around our economic. We're not going to completely solve the problem until we address a physical or environmental issue safety. You know whether or not we're exposed to things that would lead to higher rate of illness. Asthma is a great example. You know kind of fixing the environment that we live in so that we can begin to reduce the impact of asthma community. But we've got a number of policy opportunities to put it into practice and to address. The societal issues and environmental issues contributed the disparity. But we also have an opportunity to address issues in our healthcare system. And I have a friend that laugh every time I say that. And she says what do you call it a healthcare system and I say why shouldn't I should say 'cause we ain't healthy. Nobody cares in the show notes and right so so I laugh. I said well I disagree with the Middle Part because I think a lot of people do care but we can't disagree with the fact that we ain't healthy and it ain't no system so I think we have a lot of opportunities to address bias in the system. We have a chance to address access to the system. We can make things easier. We don't have to get up and get on the bus or go to the car and go across. Town is seeing someone we can use. Virtual technology are medicines can be delivered. But we don't have to worry about you know access in that way so there are some things that we can do right now today. That improve accent that we should do and then my mother used to always say. There's some things you can do while you wait for them to do what they should do. So I think that air from things that we can do in our communities and as individual to reduce the burden of health issues in our community and that inclu- upping our game and health literacy like Willie learning things about our health individuals that live in the community and to spread the word about the importance of that. But what is my health history? When is my family helped history and my monitoring my blood pressure my Paul my heart rate do I get my sugar check and on and on and then the individual behaviors that we do what we eat whether or not we're active etcetera? So I think that there's a whole spectrum that we can do and then as a system I guess my passion but also my fantasy if you will like just pick a thing would be to actually take the model that we have that we know work in community. We demonstrated that we know how to get. After we haven't done is identify them as scalable model and then scale them taking what we already know we can do and that we demonstrated that we can do well and figure out a way to not make this happen in you know one community but to provide a platform to expand it to as many communities could get it too quickly as we can get here

Getting Rich Might Be Easier Than You Think
"Things like grocery shopping. That's why this podcast features funny stories from fantastic writers about our daily alien nominees a micro audio book about life and befuddle men just for you our story. This week is from BB. Nicholson who oh you'll find on medium DOT COM and here is getting rich. Might be easier than you think. I'm going to be rich. Don't laugh this is a slam dunk. I don't even need to publish bestseller or start a company. What's more I'll let you in on a secret? You too can avail yourself of this potential windfall. The beginning of my ride to riches occurred in the summer of two thousand thirteen gene on what started out as an ordinary day it ended as an ordinary day to but my assessment of the day as ordinary even even boring goes to show that the least significant activities. The stuff we are tempted to write off as forgettable are the things that catapulted catapult us to unexpected rewards. I remember the day. Well no or maybe not so well but I can reconstruct it. I was in the kitchen feeling those first pangs of hunger that surface when you've already had lunch and it's not time for dinner and you can't focus or do anything much until you've had something to eat. I could have reached for an apple or a banana but my craving was for something salty salty artificially flavored and devoid of all nutritional value. I reached for the giant variety snack. Pack I bought IT COSTCO CUSCO A few weeks earlier. Only to realize with dismay that all the potato chips and Fritos were gone. The only thing left was cheese. He's it's if you haven't figured out where this is going by now. You haven't read today's Wall Street Journal. The story is on page. Eighteen eighteen. Three women are suing. Kellogg's the manufacturer of cheese it because they feel misled and they want justice one the plaintiffs Linda castle purchase cheese. It's approximately three times in two thousand thirteen from Grocer in Torrance California her lawsuit and her pursuit of justice stem from the assumption that her cheeses contain more whole grain than the label would lead one to believe so what you might be thinking who cares if Linda Castle but she sits and believe she was consuming a health food. There's a sucker born every minute. According to P. T. Barnum. But here's the caveat. The cheeses were labeled whole grain and and although the box explains that they contained five to eight grams of whole grain for each twenty nine grams. Serving the plaintiff felt deceived received. Mrs Castle and the other plaintiffs are seeking damages other monetary relief and declaration corey relief. Whatever whatever that means although a federal judge dismissed the case ruling that the whole grains wording was factually correct and the label would neither mislead nor deceive a reasonable consumer the? US Court of appeals has reversed the dismissal. Here's where there I come in and maybe you if you've eaten cheese it anytime in the past eight years the plaintiffs want a class action suit consisting the of anyone in the US or its territories who has bought cheeses eight since two thousand ten. According to The Wall Street Journal there there are thousands possibly millions of people who bought cheese. It's all of whom munched away happily without formal complaint. The more I think about it the better I remember that fateful day when I reach for the cheeses I can still hear the bag. Cellophane Russell smell the cheesy odor. Her Savor the crunchy junk food. Taste my husband probably qualifies for the Class Action Suit to the other day. He fished just a bag of cheez. Its with a two thousand one expiration date from the back of the Pantry. I forget how good these things are. He said digging digging in his fingers dusted with the Telltale Orange Stain. That is the bane of all cheese at eaters.

Frida Kahlo's Bus Accident
"Was September Seventeenth Nineteen Twenty five Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Hello was involved in a bus accident that she survived with major injuries.
