0:00 [Music] so Starbucks is going through some changes right now did you guys know that um it's they're going to be getting cheaper yeah I heard how it's weird so I'll tell you how like lower in prices and and less custom drinks or something yeah there's something going on because they are they have reported for the third quarter in a row that they've been dropping I've seen a lot of Starbucks um go out of business too yeah it's a yeah there's a record number of people that expensive they've just people have just cut it out from their daily thing because uh uh the economy they're just they want to save money so they're just getting less fancy stuff Starbucks is an easy thing to stop getting and uh Starbucks have tried everything they tried doing offers specials discounts none of it has worked at all well maybe they should promotions and stuff I if if
0:50 um their coffee was better I'd drink it if it was better but it tastes like ████ yeah but have you ever had a black coffee from Starbucks drink black coffee from starbu all the mixes thrilled if my ████ tasting coffeee did as well as Starbucks that's pretty good I mean like as a business are doing good but like what as the business they're not doing good well they're not not now these days yeah yeah but when okay their blonde roast is okay but just try a black coffee it all just tastes like burnt ████ cyan I think anybody's going there to get that though I think once you're to get Starbucks Coffee that's why I don't get itos once you're the mainstream choice I don't I think you're just going to taste like ████ to the brain you know what I mean like if it always tastes like ████ but then how did they get to this height it's because they mix it with the dessert stuff and that's what everyone gets the frappucino the that's what sells though which don't
1:42 taste like ████ those drinks now it's like you get a order from Starbucks I think for the average consumer it's like you're looking at like 12 15 bucks in order you know so I think the aage like ████ that I'm going to do that at home corporate margins man so during 20120 when they uh printed a bunch of money and they lowered rates I'm not trying to say right or left or whatever right like they printed a bunch of money so now people have a gang of cash and then because of there supply chain issue corporations had to increase margins to uh be profitable and of course now corporate uh all Supply there is no supply chain issue so like margins are up and they're not dropping their margins and now slowly it's catching up to people like hey I can't afford that anymore because our income is not catching up with the margins think about you you have a bunch of money that you didn't just got out of nowhere you don't mind spending it because you had money sitting around PR but now that things are calming down and you're not getting
2:32 that free money coming in if corporate margin can't hold that high forever cuz like you know like you have no money to spend right so like I uh think about this like the Chick-fil-A of four pieces of chicken strips and a cup of black coffee is like $12.48 I bought that yesterday I sat there in the parking like $124 my McDonald's meal the other day was 12 bucks what' you get I got my uh chicken nugget meal medium siiz and hamburger you didn't get the $6 meal no they they have the $650 meal so so corporations that so that meal right there shows that corporations can drop margin but they have to choose to draw margin or they choose to shrink the food what's the $6 meal $6.50 meal what is that see I have right here is it the ████ chicken Big Mac no I still haven't tried it looks disgusting it's okay it's very okay that's weird so the
3:24 um it's right here it's a the $6 Fe for Big Mac medium fries and medium soft drinks oh that's that's really good Big Max part of that's pretty good that's reasonable dude you got get that but the fact that they can drop the like they they dro the price on that so they can make up a difference so they don't end up like probably Starbucks yeah so what they're doing now is uh so before when you wanted to substitute your milk like for Oat or almond whatever yeah they would charge up but now it's free to do that I don't know if that changes anything for you guys still expensive yeah it's I never go there on my own I only go there when geog goes and it's when you goes then I just order I mean I know I always get some sort of like dessert drink if I'm there but damn that's crazy yeah they're hoping that this change is going to help them recover a little bit my favorite drink at Starbucks is the one I'm
4:14 spitting out and throwing away check that out do $5 meal deal W you get a double double fries double that's double MC double or McChicken fries four chicken nuggets and a drink for five bucks in certain areas what not here what areas does that that's pretty awesome we're getting McDonald's for lunch guys that's pretty crazy days ago the Staples is shutting down stores kind of scary actually yeah yeah yeah I'm like if they can't survive who else can't survive a lot of stores can't and then they up the minimum wage here and then a lot of digital yeah well a lot of the Starbucks in Hollywood or in the LA area that were kind of like overrun by homeless people with clothes too oh that part I understand yeah cuz the liability was way too high yeah it was hard and they do heroin in the bathroom that happens a lot they take
5:05 baths in the bathroom wow you can't really study when there's a homeless man just talking about life or death next to you and you won't shut the ████ up oh that was yeah that was the hardest one because when I lived in Hollywood all the Starbucks next to me were those kinds and then the one that the only one that survived they all just converged to that one so the whole area was crowded with uh they were all like kind of put a power strip on the outlet and they were all charging like their phones and they would just sit there and it smelled really bad so like as soon as you walked in the waft of like a group of like eight guys sitting in this corner was like so strong and you couldn't even like there was no outdoor window to order so you just had to like deeti yourself disgusting you know what I don't want Starbucks today I think that trying to lose way to go to that McDonald's you know I'm not hungry that one might have closed too already but now so sad yeah but yeah it's it's an
5:56 expensive thing that a lot of people I think like it creeped up so much over the the past few years inflation everything yeah you're going to cut it out you know you're just going to start not drinking it at all what is a reasonable price for a coffee for you guys nowadays I don't even I can't even relatively figure out what's it supposed to cost even gas station coffee is two or three bucks now just like black coffee it's like should be 98 cents but even that used to be a lot because people be like 98 that ████ used to be 25 cents but then how does a place survive on selling exent coffee like cuz you don't just buy the coffee you buy the coffee plus something else like you'll probably buy they'll probably mark it up in the donut or in the something like that the convenience store side right it's like that's when they have the cheaper coffee are more expensive I think I'm mainly I paid five bucks at tiia for for a nice like Artisan spot
6:47 you know but I I go to like ████ Costco and get those Colombian Kirkland cold brew but honestly though like finish those up yeah those are sweet or even like the espresso machines like those you just have that at the house bro like but even the Pod if you don't do your own refillable pods they get pretty expensive but they come out really good but if you're if you're like a coffee freak i' rather drink that than Starbucks that's what I'm saying you'd rather have an espresso or something like that at the house neurog gum that's why I so I switch to neuro gum I don't drink Cofe that exactly get you Starbucks is Nur gum goodur gum is legit bro I like the most legit like I didn't believe until I started taking it so nural gum replace the mints are fire too yeah two mints are as much as one cup of coffee and two mints was just caffeine yeah it's like a buck and they haveen in it so but I like the taste of it like I I even get decaf cuz I like the taste of
7:37 you got you got nuro gum on you I ran out like last I got up here it just I don't know what it is I just saw like it's Asian own so I support it you know and they got they got shut down by shark tank and these guys like went ████ Shark Tank and killing it and they made it and the fact that they got Joe Rogan who does who has Alpha Brain taking neurogum to me was like okay if this guy has his own brand he's taking neurog gum I got to try it it's two ingredients it's just caffeine and then uh Al they found a way but they but they found a way but they found the perfect blend I'm sure the per like you designed something you have the perfect blend for what like 10 years before the trademark ends and they found this Perfect Blend to make it work and it went there's no like neut Tropics in it at all no just just caffeine and uh Athenian so but yeah that's uh that I'm like you know what will they replace coffee since I started a neurogum I don't drink coffee that much anymore
8:28 yeah I think it depends on I like to drink coffee for the taste too but then also it gets me out of the house to like do work cuz then I I have that ritualistic approach of like yeah go to coffee shop say hi to the people that are there you know it's like a it's a whole like package thing M so I think if I was just to get something to perk up I would lose 75% of why I'm doing it yeah you know what I thought so so cool in Paris like they have cafes everywhere with the chairs cuz you know French people are lazy bro they don't ████ ever do ████ but everywhere you go there's just those places you just perk like chill yeah you get a little espresso little ████ cigarette whatever drink chill and I'm like I wish we had that ████ here you know I would pick up cigarettes again just a lot of is just walking culture though like if you have public transit Vietnam has it
9:19 Italy Spain all the spots why is it that we ruin it here though we have too many people that mess it up for everybody else yeah like we have a dude that'll like they got homeless people in France too right but like you ain't going to be sipping on an espresso and a dude just starts ████ in front of you that's La yeah we have a problem here that's saw ████ that's our ████ those our people show some pride man yeah but do you think I don't know I'm to bad enough Europeans or Asians are coming to LA and then they go man how come we don't have that ████ you know they I can't I can't imagine one thing they would think they probably go to a Walmart and go oh my God how come we don't have this ████ yeah dude honestly Target be sick still though that would be pretty sick but also I'm sure they see the things that we have that they don't and they use that as a root of why we have problems with it for sure they probably be looking at some of our trucks and being
10:09 like damn that's huge actually the car stuff is probably one thing I can see them being jealous about they don't have cars like usia the the amount of cost to get a Mustang in some of these countries yeah the prices for our cars and everything is just way cheaper we get we have we have a lot of fun with that yeah that that is a good point of Pride for here at least and I think they get shocked at the size of our detergent they'll be like oh my God deal what a steal American sizes are pretty crazy oh I know one thing that they actually are jealous of free refills they don't get no bu packs of ketchup right oh we get free free all day man too if they're like you know hungry guys but do you think it's it's all water down here though that's why it's all free cuz over there like they don't like hey free water then yeah free ketchup is nice
