[00:00:00] Speaker A: The Hawaiian Comedian presents. I've been doing comedy for over 20, 23 years, and I've been on the road. I've been in different cities. I've been different. Things like that.
[00:00:07] Speaker B: We're here to talk about everything, man. The topics you talk about with your friends, your family. Questions you got for us. Twitty in the City.

[00:00:26] Speaker A: Back in it again.
[00:00:27] Speaker B: You know, before we get on the topic, I guess I got to do the whole protocol stuff. I always forget that, man. Make sure you like. Make sure you subscribe, get in the comments. Appreciate you. I think in the next two episodes, we're going to get to your comments because you got some good questions in there. I'm just making sure I, like, answer multiple at the same time and not have to do that whole, you know, answer this one. Got to do it again. But before I get on our topic, how's your New Year's been? Do you, first of all, do you have or do you do New Year's resolutions? This isn't the topic, but I just.
[00:00:56] Speaker A: Wanted, you know, I used to be a big fan of that. I used to be a big fan of that, but now I'm no longer. No longer. No longer.
[00:01:01] Speaker B: I respect that. I go anti.
[00:01:04] Speaker A: I mean, I'm. I'm. This is my. This is going to be my 50th year of being alive. So, you know, my birthday's in April.
[00:01:09] Speaker B: And thank God that I'm. Wait, I thought you was already. You're going to turn 50?
[00:01:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm going to turn 50.
[00:01:14] Speaker B: We're going to do a special. Oh, don't let your birthday be on the release day of our.
[00:01:19] Speaker A: It might be too. It might. It might be too, like. It just. It just might be. But I'm like, yeah, I'm turning. So I've done so many New Year's resolutions that now I'm just like, you know what? I'm. I'm done with it. Plus, these years are going by so fast. Like before, before I knew it, it's 2025. I could have swore it was just 2020. I could have swore it was just Covid. Like, that was just happening.
[00:01:40] Speaker B: I can't disagree with you with that. I am very. So I do an anti New Year's resolution. So I do something that everybody else is going to do, and I don't do it. Like for me, everybody goes to the gym and I hate the gym being overcrowded because you're messing up my flow. So the first month of the year, I don't go to the gym. So I'm like an anti New Year's resolution person.
[00:01:59] Speaker A: Well, you're just, you're just an anti crowd.
[00:02:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:01] Speaker A: Person.
[00:02:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, I got my system, I got my routine. I don't need no disrespect. I appreciate somebody trying to get their fit on, but it's sad. I go to the gym and I'll be like, oh, you'll be here for just a month as soon as February be gone. And that's where, that's where I would.
[00:02:15] Speaker A: Have the issue at. Because I'm like, you know, you guys are only going to be here for a month. You know what I'm saying? Just go home. Like, just, just, just stop. Like, that's why I can't go to gyms because I'm just going to be too brutal. I'm gonna be too honest with it. You know, somebody gonna show up. Like, I'm gonna do this. No, you're not. You're gonna be here for three weeks, right? And then you're gonna forget about it and you're gonna be like, that's too hard and there's too many stuff. And then you ain't gonna see nobody until your next resolution.
[00:02:37] Speaker B: Exactly. I think I've actually seen the last two years in my gym the same person. I'm like, oh, Mr. January.
[00:02:44] Speaker A: The same. Yeah, that's what you did.
[00:02:45] Speaker B: That's what you call it, Mr. January. I don't know his name because I'm like, it's not even worth it. I just had to ask that. Okay.
For you, H.C. all right.
You looked at me when I gave you the topic, but I think I'm gonna make you somewhat eat your own words or explain yourself.
[00:03:03] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:03:04] Speaker B: Because I brought it up to you in the pre room, in the pre meeting room and I said, I don't think brand always matters.
[00:03:11] Speaker A: Correct.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: And you were like, oh, it does.
[00:03:14] Speaker A: Yes, it does.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: But I didn't give you the full context. So I'm talking, does the top of the line brand for whatever department always matters still? I don't think so.
[00:03:25] Speaker A: Still doesn't change my answer.
[00:03:27] Speaker B: Okay, okay.
[00:03:28] Speaker A: No, no, you tell me first why you think that it doesn't always matter.
[00:03:32] Speaker B: I'm a. I'm not going to tell you my reason. I'm going to give you the example.
[00:03:35] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:03:36] Speaker B: You. And I love Walmart. Love Their brand.
[00:03:40] Speaker A: Correct.
[00:03:41] Speaker B: Right.
[00:03:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:42] Speaker B: I would not say that is a top notch brand.
[00:03:46] Speaker A: I would not show up to a job site.
[00:03:48] Speaker B: And that's what I'm saying. Okay, like we like both. You both agree when it comes to tools.
[00:03:52] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:03:53] Speaker B: It better be yellow DeWalt, hands down, DeWalt Rigid.
[00:03:57] Speaker A: Milwaukee.
[00:03:57] Speaker B: Milwaukee. They're up there too. No disrespect, but. But you know DeWalt, you know Yellow.
[00:04:01] Speaker A: Correct, Correct.
[00:04:02] Speaker B: But I am not trying to build a house. I'm just trying to fix stuff around my house.
[00:04:06] Speaker A: Around the house. Correct.
[00:04:07] Speaker B: So I get Walmart.
[00:04:09] Speaker A: Right.
[00:04:09] Speaker B: And I can't even think of the freaking name of the brand right now. It's blue because you're like, you're heart. That's right. Because you're hypertuff, you're red. Perfect example. Another example, I did landscaping growing up. That was my job. I was a landscaper. If it wasn't still, I don't want to use it still was the landscaping brand for the lawnmower, for the blower, for the edger.
[00:04:31] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:04:32] Speaker B: Still. Yep.
[00:04:33] Speaker A: That's that orange.
[00:04:34] Speaker B: I'm not landscaping nobody else's house. It's my own. Right. So I still go to Walmart and I get the heart electrical edger lawnmower, which, by the way, is awesome tools. So that's what I was trying to say is like, you don't need the top brand depending on the circumstance.
[00:04:50] Speaker A: See, that's what I mean. Now if you throw in depending on then I guess the brand does make sense now.
[00:04:55] Speaker B: Okay, so it was how I phrased it that threw you off.
[00:04:58] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:04:59] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:05:00] Speaker A: Yes. Well, in one. In one aspect. But in another it was. No, it was still. It's still got to be. It's still got to be brand.
[00:05:06] Speaker B: I mean, yes, brand still matters. Like, yes, you're not going to get the bottom of the barrel, but depending on levels. Because I have a buddy, this is what happened. I had a buddy, he was asking me like, hey, I got a house. I'm getting tools and all that. He was like, but I can't spend money on the wall. And I'm like, well, what are you trying to do around the house? Like now if you're trying to build a house from scratch. Yeah. You got to cough that money up.
[00:05:30] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah.
[00:05:31] Speaker B: But if you just need drills and sockets and all that. Yeah, go hard. And he was like, but I can't have it in my house. I'm like, says who?
Like, is it because your neighbor got DeWalt?
[00:05:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:44] Speaker B: For all you know, he could be A contractor. And that's like 2010 DeWalt stuff. Like he might inherit all that.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: And there's still people out there that have like top of the line tools and don't even know how to use them.
[00:05:55] Speaker B: That too.
[00:05:55] Speaker A: Like that. That happens a lot where people just buy them because they brand names, but then they don't know actually how to use them.
[00:06:01] Speaker B: Right, that's what I'm saying. Like you don't have to. You don't need the top of the line brand.
[00:06:05] Speaker A: No.
[00:06:05] Speaker B: Same thing with I said landscaping, housing. I think the same can go for like brands of clothing. Like, you don't always need the top of the line. Like my entire outfit right now is Costco. Anybody that wants to diss on Costco, you just a hater. But I don't always wear the Nikes, the Reebok, which is funny. Reebok used to be considered not the best and now it is. That's a funny topic for another day. Okay, but that's what I meant. Like you don't always need the top of the line brand, depending on what you're doing. And I think you at first were going to say like, oh yeah, you need. And I was like, bro, you. And I don't got the wall stuff.
[00:06:38] Speaker A: No, no. I mean I do, I do have the wall stuff. I do have the wall screw guns and stuff like that. Like, I have multiple types of tools, but I used to be in construction, so I never got rid of my tools. Like, I don't throw away tools at all. I don't, I don't care if it's the little Allen wrenches that come in with like the free entertainment center or the entertainment center that you bought in the box too. I got, I mean, I got so many Allen wrenches in my.
[00:07:01] Speaker B: It's. They're a little bit excessive. I sometimes think to myself, until I need it or until I let a friend borrow it and I know I ain't going.
[00:07:10] Speaker A: Have you ever gone back and been like, you know what? I have one of these Allen wrenches in my thing that I bet would fit that thing right now.
[00:07:15] Speaker B: Oh, 100.
[00:07:16] Speaker A: I've done that so many times just because I've kept them. But like 100%, when, when you said brand name, the number one brand name that I could think of, like just in my head, like, if it had to be. If it had to be brand name.
[00:07:28] Speaker B: Okay, okay.
[00:07:29] Speaker A: The number one thing that I pretty much don't tolerate is food.
[00:07:35] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, you can. Food.
[00:07:38] Speaker A: I cannot like, I.
Nope, no, no. Hold on now. Let me throw it out. Like I'm not. I 100%. I know what a Hydrox cookie is. I understand what a Hydrox cookie is. I know what it is. I know what it's trying to be, but I know what it's not. And I need my Oreos. I'm sorry if I'm, if I'm going have any type of cookie like it's going to be Oreo, it's going to be brand name Chips Ahoy. It's going to be brand name.
[00:08:06] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:08:06] Speaker A: I'm not. I can't get the fake, the fake I need Cocoa Puffs, not Cocoa ruse. Not saying that I ain't never had the imitation stuff. Right. I grew up on it. That's all we could afford. So I. But I always look forward to brand name food products.
[00:08:22] Speaker B: I'm trying to think, is there a food brand?
No. Okay. I'm not going to lie. This might just be me. I don't need. It's funny. I don't need a top notch. I don't need the top brand for bread.
[00:08:36] Speaker A: No, no you don't.
[00:08:38] Speaker B: Right. So that's one now. And I don't need that because I can't be paying almost five bucks for bread and I'm going to go through in a week because I love me a PB and J. Okay, so now my peanut butter and my jelly. Oh, it's gotta be Skip Jiffy or. Oh, what is it starts with a freaking S for the jelly and it's gotta be Concord. Great. Yeah, that. Yeah, I can't, I can't get the great value.
[00:09:01] Speaker A: So you have. Yeah, so you have.
[00:09:02] Speaker B: You're right. Yes. But for the bread I don't have to. I will get that great value. $99. Still get like 20 something loaves in there.
[00:09:10] Speaker A: Now let me ask you, what is the price difference between the two products, the generic and the brand name to where you go. No, you know what, now you just being ridiculous trying to ask me for this much money that I'm gonna have to go generic. Now like let me ask you if you had like Oscar Mayer baloney and it was not good baloney. Yeah, yeah, that's that good baloney. And there was the other baloney that still had the. Still had. No, no, this one had the red tape still around the baloney. The one that you had to cut yourself and then peel the tape off.
[00:09:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I remember that baloney. That's the good stuff.
[00:09:44] Speaker A: Okay. That baloney or the other baloney, let's say it Was off by. Let's say Oscar Mayer was already sliced, ready to go, and the price was off by. It was like 50 cents more. Are you still good at buying the Oscar Mayer name brand?
[00:09:56] Speaker B: $0.50.
[00:09:58] Speaker A: $0.50.50 for a stack to like. And then this one was a dollar fifty. This one was dollar two.
[00:10:04] Speaker B: Okay, so currently I'll do it. The.
[00:10:08] Speaker A: So fifty is not the breaking point. Fifty cents, fifty cent.
[00:10:12] Speaker B: No, if we.
[00:10:12] Speaker A: What's. What's the breaking point?
[00:10:14] Speaker B: If it's a dollar difference. A dollar, especially $25.
That will. That's the difference. 50 cents. Nowadays, I can't lie. It's not that big of a deal because I do it with my bacon.
[00:10:25] Speaker A: 50 Cent gonna break me.
[00:10:26] Speaker B: It's gonna break you up.
[00:10:27] Speaker A: Done. I'm done. Because. Because what I like to do is. Because what I like to do is I like to get multiple. So I like to. I like to buy and I like to stock.
[00:10:35] Speaker B: Okay, so now you're doing that.
[00:10:37] Speaker A: So now it's two. That's a dollar.
[00:10:38] Speaker B: Gotcha.
[00:10:39] Speaker A: Three, that's gonna be a dollar. 50 more that I pay it.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: So like, I'm like, I think that'll. That, that does play a contributing factor. You didn't add that part. It's not fair. But it. My price goes down, then, yeah, I would probably go 75 cent. Yeah.
[00:10:52] Speaker A: And I mean like. And as far as like, clothes, see, food is the only thing that I'm like, I gotta stick brand names to certain things.
[00:10:58] Speaker B: See, I think there's certain things though, with food. I just can't think on the top of my head right now. Like I said, when it comes to PB and J's bread, I don't care. Especially nowadays. Like, Sarah Lee was my jam. She getting up there in price.
[00:11:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:11:13] Speaker B: Sarah Lee was like the win win. She was bougie, but affordable. And now she's just getting bougie.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: Yeah. And it's not even like, it's nothing if you don't raise the price on something, Especially with something with food. Like, if you go raise the price on something that you was already used to, you got so many customers already used to it, then do something to it.
[00:11:29] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:11:29] Speaker A: That makes me. Yeah, that makes me go, okay. That's why it's $5 now and not a dollar.
[00:11:35] Speaker B: The rapper is still white. It's got the polka dotted rainbows on it. Even Sara Lee herself looked like her photo was still taken in 1985. Like, give me at least update something.
[00:11:46] Speaker A: Get it. Put an Update on it.
[00:11:47] Speaker B: Yeah. I will also say, oh, I'm trying to think. Ooh, ice cream.
I actually don't mind. And I will go. I will go.
[00:11:58] Speaker A: No.
[00:11:59] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:12:00] Speaker A: No.
[00:12:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:01] Speaker A: I can't go cheap on ice cream.
[00:12:02] Speaker B: Briars. I'm sorry. You getting bougie.
[00:12:04] Speaker A: No, I know they are. I think that's the only one that's gonna get me. If they raise it. If they raise it, I'm like, you still got me.
[00:12:12] Speaker B: I can't. That finger breaks.
[00:12:14] Speaker A: No, I can't. Ice cream. I can't. Because that cheap ice cream. If you get that cheap ice cream, it turns into those ice crystals a whole lot earlier than any other body.
[00:12:23] Speaker B: Everybody else's ice cream, you just got to eat it faster.
[00:12:25] Speaker A: No.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: Or you just buy it in smalls.
[00:12:27] Speaker A: No, I can't.
[00:12:28] Speaker B: You do it.
[00:12:29] Speaker A: I can't do it.
[00:12:30] Speaker B: Because I ain't mad at you, Tupac. I'm not mad at you. I'm just. I'm listing off what I'm doing and you are just letting me know.
[00:12:36] Speaker A: I respect. That's what I'm saying. As when it comes to food, like, brand, for me, any type of food is. Yeah, we're going. It's going to be. It's going to be a clothing, tools, things like that. I can. I can. I can have compromises.
[00:12:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:49] Speaker A: I can compromise food. The biggest critic. I can't just eat something that says ketchup. I can't just have a bottle that says ketchup.
[00:12:57] Speaker B: I can't do ketchup.
[00:12:58] Speaker A: It's got to say Hines. It's got to say something. It's got to say something that I recognize.
Del Monte, something.
[00:13:05] Speaker B: Speaking of that, what other brand of ketchup is there?
[00:13:08] Speaker A: I feel like Del Monte.
Del Monte makes.
[00:13:12] Speaker B: I think it's still. To me, I've always just known, like Hines has just been the name. I feel like if you asked any Randle on the street, it's like, what's your ketchup brand? Oh, yeah.
[00:13:20] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Definitely with that. Cuz they also went off. Most fast food past food was using high ketchup.
[00:13:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Ketchup. Yeah. I can't do the great Vi. I also feel like because it gets watered down too quick. The water separates too mustard too.
[00:13:31] Speaker A: I need Frenches.
[00:13:31] Speaker B: Yeah, Frenches.
[00:13:32] Speaker A: I need that brand name. I need that brand name.
[00:13:35] Speaker B: Those I got you. Let's see. What. What else is there? Yeah. I'm sorry. Ice cream. I can't do it. I gotta. I gotta get the name brand. Oreos. I gotta get the name brand of lays.
[00:13:45] Speaker A: What about simple things like, I don't know, maybe certain TV dinners.
[00:13:51] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yep. I gotta go. Banquet. Hungry Man.
[00:13:55] Speaker A: Hungry Man.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: Who's the green one? Not the. Not. Not the Green Giant. Simple.
[00:14:02] Speaker A: Healthy. Healthy something.
[00:14:03] Speaker B: No, not that one.
[00:14:04] Speaker A: Not that one's green too, though.
[00:14:05] Speaker B: Yeah, but there's. There's the, there's the fat kids green.
It's. I can't remember. And it's gonna bug me now I gotta.
[00:14:12] Speaker A: Healthy choice.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: No, it's not. It's not. It is green, but it's not. Oh, my gosh. That's gonna bug me. Let's see. TV dinners, brands, TV dinner brand. As soon as I say it, you'll know it.
[00:14:26] Speaker A: I'm trying to think.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: The green one, what is that, like Stouffer's? Michaelina's?
Yeah. Yep. See, you know they have green.
[00:14:35] Speaker A: Those ones have good pasta. The good. The good pasta ones are in those ones.
[00:14:39] Speaker B: This one that. It just looked. This one that just looked up. It's Michaelina's fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli.
[00:14:47] Speaker A: I take both of those.
[00:14:48] Speaker B: Yeah. TV energy. I can't. I had too many times. I had some great value ones and the quality is just not there. Like the kid. Was it Kid cuisines. I tore those up as a kid.
[00:14:59] Speaker A: Yeah. But it just wasn't big enough.
It was kind of like eating a lunchable that you had to warm up. Like, if you had a lunchable, you had to warm up. Like, that's another thing too. It's like there's a lot of different snack ones too. But like, I, I always, like, I'm always like, I'm sticking with a lunchable because I can depend on my lunchable.
[00:15:13] Speaker B: Yeah, you can. I don't also don't know if there's any snack brands that like are messing with lunchables again. They were. They're good at it. They do it. They're. They're known for it.
[00:15:23] Speaker A: What about candy?
[00:15:26] Speaker B: Okay, like, if I hand you a.
[00:15:27] Speaker A: Candy, like, say your favorite candy bar was the Snickers, but there was an off brand type Snicker bar and it wasn't called Snicker. Would you still be like, okay, you have the choice to get that one or the Snicker?
[00:15:40] Speaker B: I think I would dabble. I would dabble and give it a try. But it would have to. It's got to have to be within.
[00:15:45] Speaker A: That 50 cent price.
[00:15:46] Speaker B: Yeah, it's got to meet. It's got to meet. Like if you're. Yeah. If you're $0.50 off, then you better basically be Snickers. Dog on stepbrother basically came from the same mom but just got different dads.
[00:15:55] Speaker A: Okay?
[00:15:56] Speaker B: You can't be 50 cents off and you that like third or fourth cousin that lives three states away.
You got to grow up in the same household as Snickers.
[00:16:04] Speaker A: Now let me ask you this. Would you get brand name stuff? Because you know somebody was going to ask you about it, like if you, if you had, if you knew somebody, like, okay, if for instance, like a watch, like if you was wearing a watch, you knew if somebody looked at your watch and was like, that's a nice watch, you got the, the, the opportunity of them walking up to you and asking you, yeah, what kind of watch is that? So do you want it to be something where you like, Ah, man, it was like a smart watch. I got off of Amazon for 15.
[00:16:31] Speaker B: Why are you calling me out? This is a smart watch from Amazon. This is amazing. It's called a maze fit, baby.
[00:16:37] Speaker A: But that's what I'm saying is that if it was something like that, like would you want something that was brand name where you could be like, oh, no, that's G shock, right?
[00:16:43] Speaker B: No, no.
Yeah, Apparel and all that. I, to answer your question, at this point in my life, which is funny because I have more money than I did when I was 21, 22, I could give two farts what anybody thinks of the brand.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: Well, I'm not like, like any of, like, I'm not saying you have to be like, you know, everything has to be. Everything on you has to be like that. But you got to have like one thing, right?
[00:17:09] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I got it. Yeah. Like I have like, I've got, I got the retro all white Jordan ones. I've got a nice pair of Levi jeans that like Levi. I'm a, anybody that ever wants to get us gifts, I'm a Levi's. 5, 10, 30, 6, 30. Like a pair of Levi's. I'm paying that price. Levi's are frickin shoes. Amazing shoes. I dabble. This is so. These are DSW boater boxes. So they're like a middle of the name brand. I've got a pair, my gray boots that lace up with the zipper on the side. They're an Amazon brand. I do have Tim's that's just growing up. You got to have a pair of Tim's.
[00:17:45] Speaker A: When you and I talked about, we talked about athletic sports and when I was telling you when I was coaching Josh's. Josh's Little league team. And he was going out with his equipment.
[00:17:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:55] Speaker A: And I remember we were having a talk about this where we were saying, do you buy them equipment that's like, you know, from Walmart? Generic equipment gone there. And I was like, no, no, because I need that brand name stuff now. Because this is equipment that's been. It kind of goes back to the right tools at a job site. Yeah, I'm not going to show up.
[00:18:14] Speaker B: Yeah, you got to be. You got to be strapped.
[00:18:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:16] Speaker B: You can't.
It's going to cost there with. I don't know, I don't even know. A low brand right now.
[00:18:23] Speaker A: Like a Rawling.
[00:18:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. You can't be getting your son sport and stuff from like Marshalls. No disrespect. Like, it's got to be coming from dicks or she's got to be designed.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: To be like, okay, we're going to use this. It's going to be.
[00:18:35] Speaker B: Yeah, they know what they're doing. Yeah. Now you. Yeah. When it came to sports, I think sports is probably the one thing. Yeah, I got to be out there.
[00:18:42] Speaker A: Somebody asked me that. They was like, because my son played catcher, so he had the whole equipment. Now the equipment.
[00:18:48] Speaker B: He had to be. Was it. I think Wilson at the time was probably the brand, especially for like the apparel.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: If it was. If it was brought in by the whatchamacallit, by the. By the league. The league donated this up. Then they had. I think it was Rollins. It was Rollins. Rollins gear and stuff like that. Wilson was what I went and I bought my kid. I went and got him shin guards, protector, everything. I was like, I. I appreciate the league donating the gear for my kid to use. If there's a kid there that needs to step in to be catcher, well, at least we got gear for him to use.
[00:19:21] Speaker B: But he's getting Wilson.
[00:19:22] Speaker A: Not my kid. No, my kid's getting real stuff when he go out there. I don't negotiate when it comes to him actually using it. And it has to be brand name.
[00:19:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: He can't be out. Like, when I grew up and I was playing baseball, I was playing basketball. If I came out there on my pro wings, I got made fun of the first time I hit the field. If I had my pro wing cleats on with my little stirrups and everything as I'm playing baseball, I was like, what. What kind of shoes is those like, man? Like, yeah, I couldn't get them Nike. But my son, my son, he's walking out there in Nikes he's walking out there with the right batting gloves. He's walking out there with the right bats. He's walking out there with the right gear. Is it gonna cost me a penny? Hell, yeah, it's gon cost me a penny. But that means he's going to be safe because he's using the right stuff.
[00:20:02] Speaker B: That is true. It's battle test. I think that's probably the other thing for me is certain brands matter depending on wear and tear.
[00:20:10] Speaker A: Correct.
[00:20:10] Speaker B: Like when I'm outside doing yard work, I'm wearing my Levis, Especially when it's cold. They're durable. They're made for that type of st. Oh, yeah.
[00:20:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:20:19] Speaker B: I'm not going out there in sweats, and I know I'm going to be needing to be up against some rocks.
[00:20:23] Speaker A: And I don't know, I might still be wearing sweats if I'm pulling weeds.
[00:20:26] Speaker B: Pulling weeds.
[00:20:27] Speaker A: But I'm talking about they're doing just yard work. I might be wearing sweat.
[00:20:31] Speaker B: No. Like when I did my backyard where it required, like, moving rocks and gravel and redoing the sprinkler lines.
[00:20:37] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. My Carhartts are on.
[00:20:38] Speaker B: Yeah. See Carhartt, like, that's an out. Like any person that do this outdoor, you can't get away from Carhartt. You got to go Carhartt. That's one brand that I slept on as a kid. Slash basically college in my early twenties that I regretted. I thought Carhartt. I thought Carhartt was just made for a farmer. I didn't know it was like, to be just outdoors, you know, it actually was.
[00:21:03] Speaker A: It was just made for people who get up early and go to work. That. That's what. That's what they was wearing. It was just became fancy to us because for me, like, if I was still in California on the coast.
[00:21:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: Where I don't need Carhartt. Like, I don't. I don't need a Carhartt jacket.
[00:21:18] Speaker B: It's.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: No, it's gonna get as cold. It's gonna get as cold as maybe 47 and everybody gonna be like, wow, this freezing. But like, out here in Idaho.
[00:21:26] Speaker B: Oh, here, Carhartt. I think car needs to put a. I mean, for them. No. Because they're going to make money. I feel like there should be like a graph on the. Like on the. In the United States, like, unless you live within these borders, you don't need to buy Carhartt.
[00:21:42] Speaker A: Like, car do that, though. You want to still stay. Right.
[00:21:44] Speaker B: I'm just saying, like you said like, if I, like, if I want like a most requested.
[00:21:49] Speaker A: This is where Carhartt is. Is most requested in the United States.
[00:21:52] Speaker B: Cuz I'm not going to lie. I came from the East Coast. I thought it was cold. I lived in the Midwest and in Idaho. Now if I went to Florida and saw somebody in the Carhartt and they lived in Florida, I'd be like, bro, your Carhartt card is revoked.
[00:22:04] Speaker A: Especially if it was August.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: You don't. You, you don't need that car.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: Dog on the beach in some overall. What are you doing?
[00:22:11] Speaker B: What you doing?
[00:22:11] Speaker A: What are you doing?
[00:22:12] Speaker B: No.
[00:22:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:12] Speaker B: If you live now in the opposite. If you live in the Midwest and you ain't got Carhartt, I might go buy that for you. I be like, bro, you need that. Carhartt is real. Like, they do real things. I was at the BSU game this past season. Was not cold. Like, Carhartt is built to take on Mother Nature. Oh, yeah. I ain't never seen, I ain't never seen a peril that could literally go like bell for bell with Mother Nature.
[00:22:36] Speaker A: I'm just waiting for them to make tents.
[00:22:37] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:22:38] Speaker A: Have a Carhartt tent.
[00:22:39] Speaker B: Oh, that's another example. I feel like when it comes to tents, I gotta go. Coleman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't think of any other tent brand.
[00:22:49] Speaker A: A while. There's. There's other, there's other tent brands. I know REI does a lot of.
[00:22:53] Speaker B: Rei is a good one. Yeah. I think I feel like Coleman is that kind of like what I refer to, like Sarah Lee bread. It's. It's bougie, but it's affordable.
[00:23:01] Speaker A: It's that brand name, but it's right in the middle. Everybody knows.
[00:23:03] Speaker B: Yeah, everybody knows it. Everybody.
[00:23:05] Speaker A: My dad, My dad had Coleman when I was growing. Yeah.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: Like, Coleman makes everything, so. Okay, fair enough. So I would say we're both right. Brand does matter. I would say for you, it's in food, in situations. Yeah.
[00:23:18] Speaker A: In situations, brand is important.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: Yeah. I gotta ask you before we dip out. So Breyers, that's like, that's your top brand. Cause I, When I talked about ice cream, you looked at me like, I need to like, leave this podcast studio.
[00:23:30] Speaker A: When I told you to be store bought. Breyers and dryers. Breyers and Dryers are both my.
[00:23:36] Speaker B: Okay. Those are your two.
[00:23:37] Speaker A: Those are my two.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: Nobody else.
[00:23:39] Speaker A: That extra churn. Extra creamy churn.
[00:23:42] Speaker B: Mm.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: Got that cookie dough. What?
[00:23:45] Speaker B: Okay. I just, I had to go back and ask to clarify because when I talked about that, you looked at me like, if you say it doesn't matter.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: That that definitely matters. It definitely matters on how you gonna scoop it if it's scoopable. If it's not scoopable, you're gonna break my ice cream scooper. I know I'm not the only one out there that broke an ice cream scooper or a bit one. Just because it's got to be that. It's got to be briars and dryers.
[00:24:08] Speaker B: Okay, man. All right. Brand does matter. This is another episode, Twitty in the City, brought to you by the Hawaiian comedian. Again, get in the comments. Get in them DMs. Until next time, we're out.
[00:24:19] Speaker A: Aloha.
