0:00 I blame the self-checkout things at Walmart they make it so easy to Jack I was like if I was I think that's one of the argument points yeah it is yeah I would have been like Pete okay I'm done and I just cracked [Music] apparently Canadians are now stealing overpriced food from grocery stores with zero remorse good that is not my Canada what's your Canada sorry sorry sorry sorry what are you talking about wait you're talking about just across Canada everyone's just jacking ████ that sounds like some Montreal Behavior to me Montreal so apparently grocery store in like uh grocery inflation has gone to such a
0:50 like a ridiculous amount that people are just revolting and just like ████ this so they're just starting to steal at like these high-end grocery stores like Whole Foods both in one way I think to kind of like prove a point and also because it's like yo we don't have enough money and they're just starting to Resort towards being like ████ it what kind of items Anthony oh you know Trader Mings and uh you know is that like a startup a revolution because that's what happens right like they start stealing bread or whatever they feel like their money doesn't go far enough are eggs pretty expensive right now that's what everyone's saying that's the meme what's the price on eggs right now for a carton I saw like 6.99 for a second yeah so people have been shoplifting from major Canadian Grocery Stores um or supporting those who do so in retaliation against rampant green inflation um basically they're also talking about it's not the store's fault what the ████ no yeah it's not the last retail or the
1:41 chain markets margins are so small the hard part is like you know like the grocery store is kind of like just the middle men exactly right yeah but that is that is kind of the platform of delivery to the end user right I mean it's America's fault for printing out so much money it's a low IQ response yeah it's like the hell are you blaming the ████ you gotta steal from the farmers dude uh you know in terms of one pool in terms of where they're at rate of inflation is rising like astronomically um but so for them things are harder whereas for corporate Giants they're pulling in record profits so go rob the corporate Giants how do you do that yeah dude like how do you stick it to the man when you're at the lowest level right you wait outside invest in Kroger during coven he
2:33 probably knew who did Warren Buffett he invested mad heavy in Kroger during covid um and so it just seemed like oh well he's probably onto something about the grocery stores things are way more expensive though like like chicken breasts used to be what like five six bucks for a pound now they're like like damn near 10 bucks which is pretty expensive even at the Asian ones because they're usually cheaper yeah but I think for most people when they shop in America that's like I mean they're more expensive don't go there 99 it's terrible so you go to the place where it's cheaper and they drive up the sale price because everybody's going yeah yeah no that's really expensive two waste of time don't even check don't even check it it costs unless you to go to Ono Hawaiian Barbecue and get the chicken there already cooked yeah for real but the five dollar chickens at
3:24 like Ralph's or Costco is still five dollars right yep like 5.99 depends on where you're at that's because the savings are being passed down to US savings are being passed out get passed down how does Costco do at ████ 199 hot dog and a drink they take the hit oh because they're real business model is the subscription my buddy says uh eggs at Costco's are like normal price it's normal price but also they're uh they just locked into deals too like the the well as a Costco sell yeah remember though like Costco is already getting their discount from the from the Creator or for the from The Producers or whatever the ████ right the wholesalers yeah the way that like you know if you create a product that wants to go into Costco you're doing high high crazy numbers high volume and then yeah high volume and you're doing it at like really like really low pricing I'm talking like over 30 percent cheaper
4:14 than like the next cheapest thing that you sell your wholesale price so when you sell your Kindred Banks to Costco did you just sell them at wholesale price cheaper than regular so you were saying I remember you were saying before that you guys put in kenja Bank in Costco is more of a strategic move than it is a profit move on for the sake of any other further conversations regarding this I'm going to redact both the word Costco and consider bang and just like speak hypothetically and allegedly okay long shame we're talking about as a Kirkland supporter right so you see this we all like to get Kirkland products water bottles all that stuff right so like they are in they have they're like they have the whole chain you know what I mean like they they don't buy it like from Kirkland water they own the manufacture part of it or they do all these different parts they got the glacier so they could just cut the chips they got to cut the glue like seeing
5:06 sugar like they oh they they subsidize CNA sugar they have they're invested into it so they're just double dipping that's all I'm saying man and then on top of that too it's like let's say this guy makes like jumbi matcha right and then we're like okay cool like we want to put your jumbee Mantra in our stores but you got to give us like 30 discount off your wholesale and then on top of that if you start doing kind of well and we're like this product does kind of move then we're like hey Mr dreamy monster you want to make Kirkland matcha and we're gonna sell at this price and we're gonna collaborate on it as a you know and guess what oh you can't afford it no more I guess I can buy a company for you if you're if you're struggling and that's all and then it's like hey we'll put your dream watch on like 10 stores which is like ████ amazing but we're like hey if we do crook the matcha though you're only gonna get five percent of it but we're gonna put in like 3 000 stores yeah would you rather have one percent of a billion dollars or a hundred percent of a thousand dollars and if you put it that way I'm like geez
5:56 a thousand dollars I'll take the second one percent allegedly quick math everything's Case by cases yeah I would have taken a thousand because I'm like big fish in a small pond ████ peace but I mean like what what you know let's let's talk kind of like Common Sense basic stuff that maybe not everybody's always thinking uh every day right like even in America you're seeing what a ████ ton of inflation things are just getting more expensive but then opportunities or like jobs gonna cut whatever it might be like how does the lower middle class or how does the lower income class like what do you do how do you not turn into a bunch of Aladdin's yeah what position does it put you in you know and at one point especially if you have a family or you know like lives on the line what what is the moral obligation for you for your family still if my kids were hungry all day I'm going
6:46 to Whole Foods I'm getting the really nice ████ duck things that they got the pate and then if my kids need gluten-free ████ I'm getting all that ████ yeah steal some kombucha hell yeah dude and one of them's lactose so I'm gonna get like soy milk you know you said thoughtful baby yeah I appreciate you you gotta get all that steal some super green powders yup like even in um what's called Walmart had to put out a statement like a couple weeks ago talking about how like theft and Walmart has reached such an all-time high and for them theft of them like they might only like lose like one or two percent of like Revenue to theft but one or two percent to a conglomerate like them is like three billion dollars annually or some ████ like that I blame the ████ self-checkout things at Walmart they make it so easy to Jack dude I was like if I was I think that's one of the
7:36 argument points yeah it is yeah I would have been like beat no they got hell level doing that you used to check out they got like two items right and they'll be like beep beep you know what I'm saying and it's just like they're just moving and placing it there and that's it sometimes it's probably more convenient to just steal because like I'll go to Home Depot and I get like eight screws or whatever and I'm like beep you see the line you're like yeah I'm like but I keep going it's so easy to just go you know just yeah you know what ████ me up is the fruits dude you gotta put the bananas on wait for it to weigh yeah look for the right one and then you um you scan the apple and then you gotta look is it Fuji Gala is it green which
8:26 one is it in the uh okay so how many times have you like deliberately picked the the cheaper one but it's still in the Apple category but you picked the cheapest so it's not large Fuji or it's it's like the small one oh I didn't even know the prices were different especially organic ones I always just look for the closest picture I've never even looked at the price dude the organic thing is such a scam such a scam there's a video of this guy who uh stole the Walmart security camera he just took it off the thing and then put a label on it and then he went to the regular checkout and Elijah went and he bought it for like 10 bucks that's so tight I mean it's Walmart dude the actual security camera to answer your question like if it was like um like let's say I was like a regular dude maybe I was a teacher or something and I had a family and now I got hit with that question like what do I do if like I feel like I'm getting like choked from all sides I would probably look for the
9:18 place where my dollar stretched the furthest like ████ North Carolina or some place where it's like 1.99 for a tank of gas still and probably just move and just like we just gotta start over you know start fresh yeah but what if the jobs aren't there like the cost is low but so are the jobs so I would have to do calculations you'd find the ratio what jobs could I do here like could I be construction I might have to like change Industries but then look at like you know what the general rule of thumb is like you want your rent or your mortgage to be like a third of what you make yeah so I'm like in which one of these areas could I do something and how much is the rent and that fits in that ratio that puts me in a safe space and then we'll just have to go over there that's a lucky thing though that like not because the cost of
10:09 living crisis is hidden everywhere but most places are small so you can maybe have like a slight difference between going from City to suburb but in America like you still have so many options it's drastic in America drastic and so you have the option of being like okay this isn't working let's go here and you have those that freedom of movement which you just need gas money or a Greyhound ticket at the same house in one state could be a hundred grand in another State's a million yeah and the same exact house is ████ crazy most drastic like even in the UK London is the most expensive but like going between City to town like there's there's a slight change but it's not going to be drastic enough to really make a difference on your life whereas like going from California to Vegas you can be a different person and you have that like freedom of movement that isn't available to everybody so I think there's like it's bad everywhere but
10:59 there is options here right there yeah dude a lot of my clients it's it's pretty frequent for them to have two jobs yeah like I have a couple of clients who like programmers and they're they're working two different jobs at the same time marketing guys working two jobs at the same time constantly on top of like the side projects they're doing so it's like it does seem like there's a lot more opportunity out here especially in California right in La like there's just so we got two jobs here you know we got like three jobs we all got two or three jobs yeah everyone moves to the big city like because there's not enough work in the small towns outside yes it's more affordable but I think there's less opportunities and jobs and well-paid jobs because even in Hawaii that's the issue is like everything's either tourism and all the decent jobs they pay less than they do on the mainland but
11:49 the cost of living is like more than La yeah so you're paying like a million dollars for a house that's breaking down that was built in 1920 yeah you know and then it's like got one Beth Bath one shower and one big hole but it's still a big hole but it's just got like this like slice and a friendly Samoan in the back there's also this like weird dichotomy of like um maybe the people are expecting the government to do something they're the ones that ████ it up and the government's expecting the people to figure it out they're not gonna do ████ you know what I'm saying fend for yourself yo that's all you got but I feel like the policy makers and the people that are up there they're so shielded they don't see the everyday ████ like most of those like people in Washington that are at the highest level they're not shopping at ████ Walmart they're not they're with their security
12:40 like they're like living in gated communities like they're not walking around with us and they're probably so rich they're like I can't tell the difference between who my eggs were like two dollars or what not six dollars yeah they're not looking they're just looking they just buy it like everyone oh dude everyone's a ████ joke bro and most of the times you as normal people when you go grocery shopping you have to go to multiple uh markets you're not just going to One Market Day all your ████ that's unheard of like you got to go to the things I'm saying but even then you're like uh should I buy this here super targets are pretty gangster Super Target we don't I don't got a Super Target but they don't got the Asian ████ yeah that's true like that's the hard part and then you go to the Asian market and a ████ thing of Folgers awesome 15 bucks bro all the American stuff is so all American ████ at the Asian stores are like super overpriced but then their veggies are like really cheap sometimes
13:32 the Mexican restaurant uh Mexican restaurants the Mexican uh supermarkets they got some really good deals for really good like certain things but you have to keep scattering yourself like socks that go up to your knees all right [Laughter] It's hard out here man you gotta keep driving everywhere [Music] foreign
