We Can’t Afford to Cry Anymore (It’s Dehydrating)
Download MP3Peter: Doom Scrollers.
If you've ever looked at your bank account
and thought, maybe I'll just skip emotions
this month, they're too expensive.
You're in the right place.
This is apocalypse and avocados, and
today we're talking about the wild
world of millennial inflation, where
even in a box of tissues feels like a
luxury purchase, and crying is basically
a high risk, high cost activity.
We're unpacking the absurdity of
$8 oat milk, the emotional toll of
grocery shopping, and why our wallets
are emptier than our self-care jars.
So grab your emotional
support water bottle.
Let your last affordable avocado, and
let's laugh so we don't cry because
honestly, who can afford the dehydration?
Let's get into it.
Intro: Apocalyp.
Peter: Hey, doom, scrollers.
Welcome back to Apocalypse and Avocados.
Today we're gonna talk about why
we still live here, even though the
price of everything has gone up.
Unfortunately, Carissa
can't join us today.
She saw the price of eggs and she
had to lay down for a little while,
but I am still here with Shaun.
How are you doing today?
Hi, how are you doing today?
Shaun: Oh, I'm doing great.
I guess as great as I
can be in this economy.
Peter: Yeah.
Don't I know it.
Everything is fucking through the roof.
Shaun: Yes, it, you know, it's bad when
the price of therapy and the price of
oat milk are both on the luxury item
Peter: list.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The price of meat is insane.
We said this from the beginning, there
was gonna be $5 a fucking pepper.
Now it's.
Now it pretty much is.
Shaun: Yeah.
It's insane.
Even our cat's upset about it.
Peter: Mm-hmm.
Thankfully my parents have chickens
because the price of eggs is ridiculous.
I went to the store that you went Yeah,
we went to the store the other day.
It's like I was with you.
We went to the store the other day and
it was, I wanna say it was like $12.99
for an 18 pack.
, Shaun: I didn't see how many
it was, but I did see there was
something for at least 11 and change.
So $12.99
for 18 pack doesn't sound far off.
Peter: No, it's fucking ridiculous.
How is anybody supposed
to afford anything?
Shaun: I don't know.
Did you know?
It's crazy that there's a statistic
I read that 60% of millennials
are living paycheck to paycheck.
Jesus.
And that would leave 40% that aren't, and
I assume that those 40% are either lying
or they're being funded by their parents.
Peter: I mean, we know that my
sister lives at home, so, and
that was just mainly because
she couldn't afford to move out.
Yeah.
But she was living out
of the house for a while.
Her rent was like, she lived in
a fucking shoe box, to be honest.
And she couldn't even
afford her groceries really.
Shaun: And that, that's not for a lack
of her having a good job or anything.
That's just the price of how
much everything costs these days.
And the prices just kept going up
in the area she was in as well.
So it didn't make it any easier for her.
Peter: And then you go to the store
right now, and of course the fucking
tariffs have hit from fucking prom.
Night dumpster baby that is in office.
And it's ridiculous.,
Sorry, Mexico is our third largest
trading partner, and they grow
all of our fucking produce.
So why would that be the first
country that you would put tariffs on?
Shaun: I don't know.
, I just keep thinking back to that video
we saw the other day with the woman at the
open air market buying all of her fruits
and vegetables for the whole week for
nine bucks, nine US dollars, essentially.
And, , it costs us what, 40 sometimes.
Peter: Yeah.
You go to the store and you, you
honestly, you can only afford
to kill yourself at this point.
You have to buy all of the freaking high
fructose corn syrup, pumped fucking laden.
Food even that you really can't
afford now because a box of
general mill cereal is what,
Shaun: $8?
Well, yeah, I, I don't know what the price
is now, but I can remember being a kid
and my mom and dad saying that certain
name brand cereals were too expensive.
It's like, we're not
gonna get that this week.
'cause we got some other expensive
ones and the prices have gone
up at least a dollar 50 since
I was a kid, probably more.
, And I think the boxes have gotten smaller.
Yeah, definitely.
Because I remember my parents used
to get some really big boxes of
cereal that would last us weeks.
Yeah.
And we were a family of five.
Peter: The frigging family sized
one Looks like the regular one.
Yeah.
The way it used to be.
And that's ridiculous.
And then you get these bags of chips.
Honestly, $6 for fucking Doritos.
Insanity.
Insanity.
Shaun: 60% air.
Peter: Yeah.
60% air.
You open the bag and you're like,
oh, this is gonna be amazing.
'cause there's, it's a family size.
I have more than enough
20% hopes and dreams.
Yeah.
And then you look inside and
honestly, it's never a good sign
when you can pop the bag and not
crush any of the fucking chips.
Well
It's funny
Shaun: because I feel like way back when,
when you'd buy chips as a kid, you had to
be so careful where you put them in the
groceries because stuff would crush them.
And you'd have dust now you
don't have to worry about that.
They're protected by air.
Peter: Yeah.
Shaun: Nothing's gonna crush those.
They have an airbag.
Yeah.
Literally built in.
Peter: Yeah.
It's, it's nuts.
And to be honest, making the
salaries that you make now is
not gonna make it any better.
No.
Taxes are going up.
The cost of rent is going up.
And these people we're just suffering.
Shaun: Yeah.
And I think a lot of that comes back
to, , the idea that because we're a
capitalist country, we, everyone needs
to be making more and more and more.
And I think that people need to
need to get to a point where they
say, okay, I am making enough.
I, this is enough.
People don't need to be giving me
more because I'm providing something.
I am getting by perfectly fine.
And maybe these people deserve
to get by a little bit better.
Peter: Yeah, absolutely.
When in the fuck is enough.
Some people need to understand that you
have more than a lot of people and that
should be enough for you, but it's not.
That's kind of disgusting.
Shaun: Absolutely.
Absolutely.
, And I think that so many big businesses,
every time there's something like a.
Minimum wage increase.
They start to think of themselves,
oh, that's gonna take this
much away from our profit.
And even though our profits are up four
times what they were last year, we still
need them to be up six times what they
were last year 'cause we're greedy.
So we need to figure out how we can
make sure that we aren't, we're still
gonna have eight times more profits.
Suddenly you've gone from needing to
have four times more to doubling it.
And who's getting screwed over the worker?
The, the low man on the pole is
the one that's getting fucked.
Peter: Yeah.
And can we just go off
of that for a second?
We went to the store the other day
and I've never felt so Hispanic
in my life is when I, so I make
a, a pretty good living right now.
Way more than somebody who
is checking the receipts.
This is not Aza, get anybody,
but I do make way more than
somebody who is standing.
To check your receipts, but so
that you can't get out of the
frigging the, we'll just say it.
You can't get out of the store.
I was gonna say the name, but
not we all know which one.
Shaun: We all know which one.
Peter: And we had literally just
checked out with an entire bedroom
set and this man watched us check out,
Shaun: we're talking multiple pillows.
Peter: Yeah.
And a comforter set and everything.
This man watched us check out at the self
checkout, let every single white person
go in front of me and then stopped me.
To check my receipt.
I'm like, dude, I was
standing not 15 feet from you.
Checking out.
You like kept eyes on me the entire time.
Shaun: Can we also talk
about how he presented it?
So you got some pillows.
Okay.
Something clearly not something that's
gonna be easy to fucking steal Dumb ass.
Peter: I got some fucking pillows.
You know what else?
I got a 401k.
Like shit, I do not need
to steal from this store.
Shaun: I was gonna say all your teeth, but
Peter: not that too.
I mean, we're not gonna
be judgmental there.
I just, we know quite a few people that
do not have all of their teeth, including
Shaun: myself.
Peter: So,
but yeah, I just, that
was so, I don't know.
It felt so disgusting.
You shouldn't be living in a
country that does that shit.
Shaun: It pisses me off
because I like, I'll be there.
If it was me walking out, they
wouldn't say anything to me.
Probably mo most likely I
wouldn't have anything said to me.
But you're walking out and even
if you're walking out with me,
suddenly you need to be questioned.
So, hold on.
How come it was fine when it was
just me, but when you are there,
who makes more money than me?
You suddenly need to have
your receipt checked.
I just, I can't wrap my
head around these things.
And it starts to infuriate me when
people who look like me start to do
stuff like that because then it's like
you're sort of guilty by association.
Even if someone, even if you're not
doing it, some people, someone's
gonna start to expect that from you.
Peter: Yeah.
Shaun: And that's, that's what I hate.
'cause I don't want to
be one of those people.
Peter: Well, I understand.
It did take everything in me to not
like punch the guy in the forehead.
, Because this, this animosity, this
racism, this blatant like hatred
that's going around needs to stop.
The whole reason that this country
can't be successful is because we're
so fixed on tearing each other apart.
Yeah.
And it's ridiculous.
Yeah.
You wouldn't get stopped coming out.
But let's be honest, I am
pretty fucking pale right now.
I'm a lovely shade of eggshell and I
honestly shouldn't have been stopped.
It really drives me nuts.
But on top of, even if you,
Shaun: even if you were the darkest shade
of brown, you shouldn't have been stopped.
Peter: Exactly.
But on top of that, just getting back
to the whole inflation talk here,
how about the fact that when we went
there and we just fucking pillows
and a comforter set and a couple of
little other items was over $200?
Shaun: Yeah.
And on that same topic and on something
else, you brought up the tariffs.
How about the price of coffee
the last time we bought it?
Oh, fuck this.
Like
Peter: we drink it every single morning.
It's
Shaun: sometimes multiple times a day.
Peter: Yeah.
It's ridiculous.
Well, because he put the tariffs
on Columbia, which is where the
coffee that we drink comes from.
Yep.
, It is insane.
We went, normally when Wes started
living here, , it was about 4 75 A brick.
Shaun: Yeah.
When?
Just under $5 I think,
Peter: and it was 8 99 the other day.
And that's not, that's really not
okay for the same amount Yeah.
Of coffee.
Honestly, I would've raged and
took that whole fucking store
out if that shit goes up anymore
because this asshole is in office.
I am going to take out
a few fucking shelves
Shaun: when I
Peter: go
Shaun: in
Peter: there.
Shaun: Just faint fall into them
and faint 'cause of the prices?
No, I'll
Peter: be, I'll look
like a complete jackass.
I'll be sitting there kicking
the shelf, trying to get the
it to fall down like dominoes.
Shaun: Just throw a 10 temper tantrum.
Start kicking and flailing on the floor.
Like a baby.
Baby crying.
Yeah, complete.
Full on baby crying.
And then when they ask, why be
like, I learned it from the best.
Peter: No, I'll just get fucking arrested.
I'll get arrested if I did that.
Especially in our town.
All right,
Shaun: I'll try it.
No, I'll probably get arrested too.
No, they're gonna be
Peter: like, do you need something?
Do you want a lollipop?
Shaun: Get this guy an apple juice.
Dollar
Peter: 75.
This counted.
I don't know.
How about the fact, I know that
because of the tariffs, a lot of
things are going up, but the fact that
a pizza, an entire pizza cost $28.
Oh my,
Shaun: yeah, we, we, what was it the
other day when we wanted just like
a one topping pizza and large pizza.
It was.
Peter: Wow.
How much?
20 it was 22.
22 bucks.
That's insane.
But to add a couple, a sprinkling of
peppers and maybe a piece of sausage.
Just one in the middle was what?
It was $28 and then it would've been
52 if you ordered it on DoorDash.
Shaun: You have to question if that
sausage is made of exotic meat or
not, because why is it that expensive?
It's made of Panda knows.
Ostrich.
Ostrich, something
Peter: small, little,
um, gerbils from Peru.
Yeah,
it's imported.
That one piece of sausage.
Shaun: I was gonna say, I don't know
how much sausage a gerbil can make,
but I don't think I want to know.
Please, no one tell me.
Not interested.
Peter: It's just not acceptable and it's
not the only thing that's like going up.
How about the fact that your
cell phone bill keeps going up?
Mm-hmm.
Going your cell phone plan
doesn't really improve.
Year.
Year.
Never.
So if the quality of something does not
improve, why would you charge me more?
Shaun: I wanna know that all the time.
Like I get that restaurants have to
change prices and , I can understand
fluctuating within a dollar or two,
but when you suddenly are giving me the
same exact thing for $5 more, or maybe
you're giving me less for $5 more, I'm
like, okay, what are we doing here?
Because you should have just made
it smaller so it cost you less.
Not charged me more and made it smaller.
Peter: I mean, it's crazy when we
moved here too, for the cable when
we were, it's something we need.
We work from home.
We absolutely need it.
. The internet went from being after a year.
So it was $155 when we moved
in, per month, and then after
the year to keep the same plan.
It was 192, I believe.
So, but the quality of the service
didn't change, so why the fuck did
I have to downgrade my internet
plan to literally half the speed
to maintain the same payment?
Shaun: Yeah, no, you're absolutely right.
On that same topic of things changing
and prices going up and whatnot, we
were talking about food a minute ago.
Did you know that in 2024, Domino's
Chicken Bites went from 10 to
eight, but the price did not change?
Peter: No, I didn't.
Mm-hmm.
That shows how much we go to dominoes.
Shaun: No price drop, but they switched
it from 10 pieces to eight pieces.
That's awful.
And how much could that
really be saving them?
Right?
That's the real thing.
Peter: Oh yeah.
We're not gonna give you these
jalapenos for free on these anymore.
Shaun: These two pieces that
probably came from the same piece
of chicken as three other orders.
We're just not gonna give you
those two so that we can make one
more order off of the other three.
And now we've basically got an
order for free and you're screwed.
Yeah.
That's what it sounds like to me.
Peter: Well, also the price of gas.
I understand.
So I understand with inflation,
it's not, we just have to ask Maga
they can go fuck themselves with
the rustiest dildo they could find.
That's what I have to say to them.
A rusty dildo.
Shaun: Yeah.
Do they make
Peter: metal dildos?
I hope not.
I'm sure they do.
I mean, I wouldn't guess You've
seen metal butt plugs, , come on.
Yeah, so I guess Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They have the metal ones,
the metal vibrators too.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah.
Like the ones with the bullet and stuff.
Yeah.
So they can go fuck themselves with
the rustiest one they can find.
Or if you really feel so inclined, find
a glass one, shatter it in your asshole.
That's what I have to say to you anyway.
Before
the price of gas is, I took a turn.
Insane.
And the fact that people in
particular, certain generations do
not understand how inflation works.
Shaun: Yeah.
A lot of people just
don't grasp it at all.
Peter: It is a global thing.
It is a global economy.
So therefore, what affects one
country affects another inflation
is caused by people driving up
the market, especially in oil.
Oil comes from a foreign country,
is not a re renewable resource.
We buy it from overseas and Columbia and
when we don't have enough, they jack up
the price, therefore, causing those taxes
and payments to fall on the American
taxpayer to be, to cover all of the
money that we've spent to buy this oil.
Now we live in the greenest state
as far as green energy goes, and
our house has an oil furnace.
That we do not use, mainly
because it's broken.
, And we switched over
completely to electric.
What happened when we did that?
Shaun: Oh my God.
, They increased the electricity, rates.
Yeah.
And our bill skyrocketed.
Peter: The electricity didn't get better.
God, no.
We lost power three times that year.
It didn't get better.
So why the fuck am I paying more
and on a smaller salary that, not
particularly me, but this somebody.
Somebody who's working on a
smaller salary and you're going
to jack up their electric rates.
Yeah.
They can barely afford
to do what they do now.
Shaun: And then they wonder why people
can't save for emergencies and people
don't have money for these surgeries
and things that , they can't plan for
because they can't even pay, afford to pay
their electric and their grocery bills.
Mm-hmm.
Nevermind.
Have to put money aside
for some major surgery.
Peter: Exactly.
And then biggest scam of them
all health insurance, you pay
out the ass for health insurance.
Mm-hmm.
In the hopes that one day when
you need it, it'll cover you.
Shaun: And then most of the
time they don't want to.
Peter: Exactly.
And then you have to get a prior
authorization or a medication
that could save your life.
Literally could save your life.
Now you have the.
You have to ask the insurance
if they'll cover it.
Shaun: Well, I heard that California
introduced a new bill that, so that
people could sue the insurer if they
delay or deny services or coverage.
So if that goes through that,
that'd be really fricking awesome.
That'd be game
changing , for this country,
Peter: honestly.
That is amazing.
But that needs to be on a national scale.
Yeah,
Shaun: I agree.
Peter: And the fact that California, which
in itself could be the size of a country,
and they are, they have, there's been many
talks of them becoming their own country.
Shaun: Yeah, I've heard that
quite a few times in my lifetime.
Peter: But what also people don't realize,
they are the biggest producer of parts
and adding to our gross domestic product.
Country.
So if they left and seceded became
their own country, the American dollar
would just like fucking plummet.
Yeah, that's a good point.
So, moral of the story, keep Californians
happy so they stay attached to the us
Just a thought.
Yeah.
Shaun: Yeah.
Peter: I'm, they are so happy though.
Yeah.
Who wouldn't be with all
that fucking sunshine?
Although I bet you LA is really fucking
screwed As far as like the tariffs and
the price of their produce and stuff.
I can only imagine what
it costs over there.
They import a lot, is
that what you're saying?
No, because they have, they're expensive
to begin with living in Los Angeles.
Oh
Shaun: yeah.
'cause it's a big, it's
an big expensive city.
Peter: Right.
So imagine when they go to
the grocery store now with the
tariffs on all of this food.
I know that they postponed a few of them.
Shaun: I mean, I can't
even imagine if, oh.
I'd be on a diet just because I
wouldn't be able to afford to eat.
Peter: Exactly.
It should never never come to that
choice whether I'm going to eat
tonight or I need to pay my rent.
Shaun: Yeah.
Peter: And the fact that it comes to that
so often, especially for the millennials,
which were promised everything
money-wise and we just got fucking
Shaun: screwed.
Yeah.
We were basically told
the sky is the limit.
And then they, we went to go
for it and they said, eh, no.
Why do you think you get that?
You're entitled.
Sit down your little brat.
Peter: The sky is the limit,
but you'll never reach it.
Shaun: Yeah.
There's someone up there with a
mileage is knocking you back down.
Peter: But it's ridiculous.
It should never come to those decisions.
And health insurance, you, as far
as I'm concerned, we are paying you.
For a service, you need
to provide that service.
We don't ask that service all of the time,
so you need to be there when we need you.
. That is all
, Shaun: And enough of the,
we're not covering that
because it's from before you.
We were with that.
That's some bullshit.
If you're health insurance, you're
to cover people's healthcare costs,
to assist with healthcare costs.
The idea that you're going to not cover
something because of when they, this
person got it is absolutely asinine.
Peter: Oh, you're talking preexisting
Shaun: conditions.
Preexisting conditions, not covering
certain medications, for no fucking
reason other than they don't want to.
Right.
It's just, it's
Peter: fucking stupid.
It is stupid and it's sickening.
Honestly, this is the whole
issue with the Mangione case.
Yeah, that's what they're
naming that bill after.
Oh, talk about a fucking sanker punch.
Shaun: That's awful.
At least that's what I heard.
I don't know if it's true, but
hope it is me and Gioni Law.
Peter: Oh my God.
I see why people see him as a hero.
I don't necessarily agree that
murder is the way to become a hero.
Yeah.
I can see why they think he is though,
especially when it comes to that.
But as far as other things go,
we were talking about inflation
and so yeah, that's how it works
because it's a global economy.
One affects the other, and
we do not control that.
So when the people were out there
harassing Biden and talking about how
terrible he was as a president, because
things cost more, they cost more.
All around the world.
Yeah.
It was not just America that was affected.
Shaun: But another thing that people
need to understand with inflation
is that when inflation hits, the
price goes up based on the demand for
something and the availability of it.
So if it is not as much availability
and a lot of people want it, they're
gonna make it more expensive because
people are gonna be willing to pay more.
Once they start being able to charge
more for it, it's almost impossible to
get them to bring the price back down.
So you have to get to a point where
you say, I'm not willing to pay this
much for this anymore, and you have
to stop and everyone has to stop.
Otherwise the price is gonna lock in and
we're gonna be set with a new normal.
Right.
And then when inflation hits again,
it's just gonna go up even more and
it's never gonna come back down.
Peter: Yeah.
Because the way they think
is you're paying for it now.
Mm-hmm.
Why bring it down?
I'm making a killing.
Shaun: Yep.
Peter: So we're not, and
Shaun: then when the cost
goes down, they just want to
take in all that extra profit.
Peter: Right.
Eventually it will become, the
cost to make it will go down.
But they're still getting
all of that money in profit
because people won't pay it, but
Shaun: they can.
Yeah.
Just because they can.
Peter: It's ridiculous.
We, speaking of inflation and tariffs,
remember when they said that the iPhone
was going to be what, almost $3,000?
Oh yeah.
That's ridiculous.
You shouldn't.
Is it even made here?
I don't even think it's made here.
I think it's made overseas.
Yeah, I think so.
I think so.
That would explain why.
'cause it's imported.
Yeah.
I think China, yeah.
That's fur phone per phone.
People have, it is a necessity.
Now, I agree with that.
To have a phone, especially when you
live in a remote place like we do.
Shaun: Yeah.
Peter: You'll need to call
somebody for anything.
But the fact that they've made us so
dependent on them is it's pretty terrible.
But speaking of that, they also are
inflating the price by making you have to
pay for all these extras on these apps.
Oh, absolutely.
So you go in and you buy an app
'cause you're like, oh, this
is gonna help me eat better.
And then you need a
Shaun: subscription to the app
on top of the purchase price.
Right.
And then there's, and
then there's a pro plan.
Peter: Yeah.
Then there's in in-app purchases
oh, you need to buy this so
that you can make guacamole.
That's gonna make your ass get smaller.
Yeah.
And
Shaun: then it's like, oh, do
you want to know how to do this?
Purchase this special lesson for an
additional 1299, go fuck yourself.
Peter: Everybody's out to
get more money from everyone.
And the fact of the matter is we pay it.
We pay it.
Shaun: Well, I mean, what,
what do they expect from us?
We're just trying to fight
late stage capitalism and look
hot in our Instagram stories.
Peter: That's another thing.
The people that just go out the Instagram,
not Instagram, the TikTok, people that
just go out and they flex and they make
a fucking grand, like these thirst traps.
Shaun: Listen, I get that.
It's hard work to get your body like
that, but it must be nice that that's
what you get to do for work, right?
And do not fucking
complain about it, please.
Because some of us have to sit
there or stand there or move our
fucking bodies for eight to 12
hours a day, and it's exhausting.
So consider yourselves lucky.
Peter: I hate when people are like.
How are you still fat?
Maybe because I can't go to the gym
for five hours six times a week.
I don't have the time.
Simply.
Yeah, and, and you are ripped
because you can mommy and daddy pay
for everything for you, so you can
literally make the gym your life.
Shaun: Yeah.
Peter: That's all I have to say on that.
You have no right to complain about
anything, especially inflation
at that point, maybe with your
hair products, but yeah, so I'm a
little perturbed, as you can see.
I wanna punch a few people.
Let's hope that doesn't come to that.
Shaun: Yeah.
I mean, I feel like we've
officially entered our girl
math era of the apocalypse.
It's just like nothing adds up.
Everything is craziness.
I have to figure out how to pay
$200 for groceries, $300 for therapy
and medication, and then I still
owe $1,500 for rent or a mortgage.
It's like, I don't make
that much in, in a week.
How, what, what is going on here?
Plus that didn't, that's just like
a, a portion of the, of the prices
that we have, what we have to pay.
Right.
See, I'm getting discombobulated
just thinking about it.
Peter: Yeah.
You have to spend what, two thirds
of your check just to live and hope
that you have $300 that can stretch.
Yeah.
Until the next time you get paid.
Also, this semi fucking payment
system is for the fucking birds.
I'm just saying.
I hate it.
You should not be paying
somebody twice a month.
Yeah.
That's rip Off.
You can't, unless you're on a dual income
household, that does not benefit anybody.
Shaun: Even then sometimes
it's not beneficial, right?
Like we get paid in, what
bimonthly is that what it's Yes.
Called?
And we get paid in the same period.
So yeah, we get a, a big lump sum,
but we also have to wait in between.
If we have an additional expense
that it kind of wipes us out.
Peter: Yep.
Shaun: So it's just, it's Do you know why
Peter: they do that?
Shaun: Something to do with taxes, right?
Peter: No, it's the cost to run payroll.
Shaun: Oh, that's what it is.
Yeah.
Peter: Because it simply costs you
an additional a hundred dollars
to run it each week to run it.
I mean, it can go, it spans
depending on what program you use.
You get to screw over
all of your employees.
Wow, that's not acceptable.
Not at all.
No,
Shaun: That's ridiculous.
And I know so many companies
that do it that way too.
Mm-hmm.
And it's just, and most of
them make so much money.
Peter: Right.
And they're making money off of the
people that are working for them.
Yeah.
So the least that you can do is do
something that benefits them other than
getting them a goddamn pizza party.
Let's be honest, fucking
Shaun: pizza parties
Peter: I would rather raise
than a fucking pizza party.
Mm-hmm.
Shaun: I'd rather you give me
an extra $20 as a bonus than
gimme a fucking pizza party.
Right.
I want to use the that $20 on
whatever I want to use it on $28.
Exactly.
Yes, you're right.
28, make sure you can afford the pizza
Peter: yourself.
Oh my God.
You're just getting me
going on a tangent here.
But yeah, then when we were growing
up, let's just say that when we were
growing to the movies, for example.
You'd go to the movies and it
would be, what, seven to $8?
Six.
If you went to the matinee.
Yeah.
But it was seven or $8
to go to the movies.
It's $36 to go for two people now.
Not including the popcorn and
what the fuck is up with this?
Picking your seat before you sit down.
That never happened growing up.
You went into the theater and
you sat down wherever you wanted.
Now you have to put, you have
to pick your fucking seat.
Well, I think that was a COVID thing.
I think it's a stupid thing.
Something's from COVID don't need to stay.
I don't know.
I, I could be wrong about that,
but I think that's what it's from.
I wish that six feet away would stay.
Yeah.
Remember when you only
had the, during COVID.
COVID was a terrible time,
but there were some things.
That were better when you'd go
to a grocery store and you'd
have the one way down the aisle.
That was awesome.
You never had to fight with the asshole
that leaves their carriage in the middle
of the aisle and you just wanna kick it.
Like today when we went to the grocery
store, you had the woman that left it
right in the middle of the aisle where
there's a whole, , what do you call that?
Like the pie stand in the middle, and she
leaves it right in the middle of the other
lane and then walks off to the right.
Shaun: Yeah.
I just don't understand why
people do the things they do.
It, it's not hard to just make
enough space for someone to walk by.
It's really not.
Peter: No.
And not to mention her carriage
was full, full to the brim.
What do you do for work, bitch, that
you can afford to fill your damn cart?
Yeah.
Then you take that privilege
and walk it across the aisle.
The aisle that you didn't park
your car in and go to get some
cheese out of the fucking freezer.
It must be nice to afford
Shaun: cheese.
Another thing, why do people put their
bag, like their purse in their carriage
and then leave it on one side of the store
and walk all the way over to the other
and then they keep glancing back at it.
Like, hope no one takes it.
Hope no one takes it.
Well, why don't you just
fucking take it with you?
Yeah.
No one would take it.
If you took it, then you
wouldn't have to worry about it.
You could focus
Peter: on what you were
Shaun: looking
Peter: for.
She was panicking.
People panic.
They put it in the carriage and
they leave it at the end so that
they don't have to walk into people.
It makes it easier to get down the aisle,
but when you have that much anxiety about
your purse, maybe you should take it.
Shaun: Maybe that's what
happened to Kristi Noam.
She just brought $3,000
to the grocery store cash.
Peter: I mean, she could
probably afford everything.
That's about what it costs
to fill your cart, right?
Three grand.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, about that these days.
Yeah.
If you go to that, what is
that store in California?
Oh yeah.
You were telling me about that one.
I never even heard
Shaun: of that place before.
It
Peter: literally
Shaun: is nowhere backwards.
It's a very interesting name for a store.
Peter: It's like when you watched,
you remember when you watched you
and then he was with Love and her
parents owned the grocery store
and it was Rin, but it was Nirvana.
Oh, yeah.
Backwards.
Same thing.
Everyone's nowhere.
That's probably where
they got the idea from.
Yeah, probably.
Well, I'll tell you right now,
I'm not going nowhere near Erwin.
That fucking store was ridiculous.
Is you?
There's a, I believe there
was a sandwich that they went
in there and it was like $25.
For the sandwich.
Shaun: What was it?
A grilled cheese, uh, with truffle dust
and tears of generational gentrification.
Peter: Baby tears.
I think that was the mayo.
Geez.
I don't know.
It was ridiculous.
And then you see them with like
the half pies and a half pie.
Yeah, a half pie.
You can only afford half for a cow.
But how, how much for a half pie?
I couldn't tell you.
I, it was wicked expensive though.
I can't.
So why do these stores exist?
So people can boast about
how much they can spend?
Talkers can boast about
how much they can spend.
Shaun: See, this is the
problem with this country.
Food does not need to be this expensive.
No, it should not be
Peter: that expensive to eat.
It's a necessity, not
a frigging privilege.
Yeah.
It's not a, going out to eat is
a luxury that not many people can
afford, especially millennials.
Tell me about it.
We would go out and we would
eat and feed the two of us
when we first started dating.
So back in the stone age, 12 years ago.
And we would get a meal and it
would be , if we got drinks,
it would be like 80 bucks.
And that was with the tip for the server.
Now if we go out, it's about $220.
And so we don't go out, we eat at home,
Shaun: or if we're really feeling
delusional, sometimes we'll like
check our debt, we'll disassociate,
and then we'll order dinner delivery.
Yeah, but you know, whatever
the day is calling for,
Peter: which you can't afford now.
No.
Either because DoorDash had
jacked up their fucking prices.
Well,
Shaun: thankfully nothing delivers
to where we live, so we don't
really have that option anymore.
But I mean.
I mean, pizza delivers
over here, but yeah, I'm,
Peter: who's gonna pay $28
for a pizza and then another
$28 just to have it delivered?
Shaun: And then a tip?
Peter: No, that's with the tip.
Shaun: Oh, I thought that
was just the delivery fee.
Peter: No, $56
Shaun: is enough.
Peter: Delivery fee is like $6
and another $2 2 99 if you want
them to come directly to you.
Shaun: Yeah.
What, what, what?
I'm gonna spiral for a minute.
What the fuck is that?
The express, if I am ordering food,
why is my delivery driver going to
go to somebody else's house first?
No.
They should pick up my food and
bring it directly to me, and then
somebody else should get the other
person's food and bring it to them.
Peter: Right.
Shaun: And then they can swap.
They don't need to be picking
up extra clients on the way.
Right.
That's not how this works.
It's not how any of this works.
Peter: It's not how it should work.
Right.
Then my food is fucking cold.
Even when you pay that
express, it comes cold.
Yeah.
Shaun: Don't get
Peter: me started.
I mean, we're only, okay,
so put it into perspective.
We're 17 minutes away from the pizza
place that we order from, and I drive
pretty fast, so we cut that down.
It's still hot when we bring it home,
but I'm 17 minutes away, so therefore
you should take 17 minutes to get to
my house, not 35 when your freaking
food is sitting on top of the oven
and it's lukewarm because it's been
sitting there for fucking 20 minutes.
Shaun: Yeah.
Peter: And then they give it to you.
So if you have a grinder, for example,
and , they have that, they cooked
it and it's waiting up top, and
then you get it and it's all soggy.
Yep.
You pick it up and it's
oil all through the fri bag
and , the sandwich falls apart.
Yeah.
And they charge you 16 bucks for it.
Not acceptable.
Not acceptable.
No,
Shaun: not at all.
It's absolutely insane how much things
cost, how little you get for them.
And it honestly, it feels like not only
do we not have the money for hobbies and
like just interest outside of work and
just living, , but ,, it just feels like
we don't have the time for it either.
Peter: Right.
They don't
Shaun: have the time
or the energy anymore.
Peter: Right.
Because they don't value a
work life balance anymore.
They just want you, you're essentially
just a light bulb and when you burn
out, they're gonna screw another one in.
They're gonna Yeah.
And, but another one in,
Shaun: so according to Forbes this
year, , one in three millennials say
that they are too tired for any hobbies.
Peter: I see it.
It's just been pure exhaustion.
Just this week.
Yeah.
Mind you, we don't have to go
anywhere because we work from home,
but it's just pure exhaustion.
And even when you get there to the
point where you can go out and you
have a little bit of disposable income
you're too fucking tired to do it.
You, you go to the liquor store and you
drink like a fish and you feel awful for
the next three to five days 'cause your
hangover and you just, you have no desire.
Shaun: So I've got some scenarios for you.
I want to, let's find out what
you would do in these situations.
So, oh boy, gonna give you some
absurd, scenarios around basic
comforts and I want you to let me
know if, , you would pay this for
them or if it's just not worth it.
It's all not worth it.
An iced coffee and the delusion that
you'll get your life together today.
For $6 and 75 cents for the delusion.
Peter: Mm-hmm.
Shaun: Because you know that
iced coffee doesn't cost
Peter: that.
No.
And it's not worth it either.
No.
Hell no.
I would not, I wouldn't pay
it for a fucking fever dream.
Shaun: A single avocado and two
minutes of inner peace for 3 29.
Peter: Two minutes.
Two minutes.
I mean, a massage costs like what?
A hundred bucks now?
So, I mean, that two minutes is worth it.
I'd buy the avocado.
I don't even eat them just for
the two minutes of inner peace.
Shaun: Right.
Therapy with a licensed
human, $180 an hour.
Or talking to your plants.
It's free, but they might judge you.
Peter: I don't care.
I'll talk to the fucking plants.
$180 an hour.
What does that doctor need?
Is that so they can afford therapy so
they can go talk to another therapist?
Shaun: I don't know, but I have
a, just a quick little fact here.
Average price of therapy without
insurance is over $150 a session.
Peter: Not acceptable.
You should be able to talk to somebody.
That's the whole reason that people
have guns and they fucking go crazy.
People
Shaun: need to talk to people.
That's why we have this podcast.
Peter: Exactly.
This is therapy.
It's expensive therapy.
But it's therapy.
And people, if you, if you could talk
to somebody and honestly dissuade
them from doing something rash or
just allowing them to get something
off their chest and not charge them
$180, don't you think it's worth it?
Shaun: Yeah, I would say so, but that
might just be the bleeding heart in me.
Peter: I don't even think that's
something that you should capitalize on.
Mental health is not something
that you should make money off of.
It's something that I feel is a necessity.
Shaun: Well, that's kind of how I
feel about healthcare in general,
like just all encompassing.
I feel that if you are in the healthcare
industry, you should care about prolonging
people's lives, making people get
healthier, and finding solutions for them,
not finding ways around covering things
and right ways to charge more or stop.
And it just, there's just so much
wrong with the way healthcare is
approached, especially in this country.
It, it really makes me sick sometimes,
to be honest, and then paying
Peter: the $70 so some man can fondle your
testicles and tell you you're all good.
That's a little weird.
Or the turn your head and cough
paying the $70 so someone can
stick a finger up your ass.
Be like, you don't have colon cancer.
Oh, you can tell just by that.
Yeah, just by swishing around in there.
You better hope someone
took a shit that day.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I keep bringing it back to that
Shaun: you knew it was gonna go there.
We almost made it the whole episode
without him bringing it back
to shit and he brought it back.
Peter: Sorry.
It wasn't intentional.
It see, it ties it all together.
So he says,
Shaun: so, he says
Peter: it was not intentional,
but somebody going in there
and lubing up their finger.
Sometimes they don't even do that.
Just shove it in dry, shove it in.
Look.
Oh, you got some polyps in there.
Shaun: I knew a guy once who, when
the doctor told him that he had to
schedule his colonoscopy, he asked
him if he could bring his own lube.
Peter: I mean.
It's a valid, valid question apparently.
And then you have the, the ones, the
gyno . That should be a necessity as well.
And not charge them an arm and a
leg so that you can go in there
and they can open you up like
you're frigging with those forceps.
They put you in the stirrups and then
they lube up that little metal fucking
beak thing and shove it in there.
And then what?
They shine a flashlight in, go
down the hallway just to make sure
you don't have cervical cancer.
I don't know.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know what the fuck they do.
I don't go near Cooters, but even
so, you should have access to that.
And I did see this.
I.
Remember Ado Delano?
Mm-hmm.
From RuPaul.
So they're in, they're
both trans, they, yeah.
Her and her.
Her boyfriend, . Yeah.
And I watched the TikTok, I'm trying
Shaun: to think of his name.
I can't think of his name.
Anyway, I can't remember.
Peter: Watched his TikTok the
other day where he was literally
calling doctors to find a gyno.
Yeah.
That would take him, because he's a
trans man, so he still has a vagina.
And he is like, no one
would take me, no one.
Everyone thought it was a joke.
Shaun: Well, did you see the, the, I don't
know if it was a follow up or a previous
one, but it was a video he was talking
about how when people are at the doctor,
you should just mind your own business.
Yeah.
And leave them alone because.
He has to go there and he's at
the gynecologist and everyone's
like giving him , this crazy
eye like he shouldn't be there.
Yeah.
And , one thing, first of all, you
don't know what goes on in people's
pants and it's not any of your
business what's going on in there.
But second of all, even if he wasn't
the one that was there for the doctor,
he could have been waiting for someone.
He could have been waiting
for his girlfriend to be
getting out of the doctor.
So just leave people the fuck alone.
Please.
Peter: Can you imagine how
uncomfortable that must be for a
trans man to have to go to a guy now?
Shaun: Yeah, like just to begin with and
then to have people staring at you and
making you feel more uncomfortable about
Peter: something like that.
I
Shaun: just,
Peter: and then you have to hope that
the doctor's not really judging you
Shaun: too.
I can't even imagine what it's like
to have so many things that would
come up as a, a potential concern.
Mm-hmm.
On a daily basis.
Yeah.
Peter: Then , they still feel
the need to charge you for this
or the mammograms for women too.
Like you have to pay 200 bucks to
have your tit squeezed uncomfortably,
which I don't really know if it's ever
comfortable or feels good for at you.
But, , yeah, you have to pay $200 to have
your tits flat into a fucking pancake
so that they can What run an X-ray?
, MRI through it.
So to tell if you have boob cancer, breast
cancer, let me be politically correct.
, That's not okay.
Like this, you're paying
for this insurance.
These things should be covered.
Yeah.
Especially since you are
the one who wants it.
I don't want to go in and have somebody
flatten my fucking tits to a tortilla.
Then have to come home.
Can you imagine how much that
must hurt when they get home?
Shaun: I'm sorry, you're telling me
that after all of this time, they have
not found a better way to do this?
If that had to be done to guys dicks,
they would've found a much better way.
Yeah.
Immediately.
Let's be honest.
Peter: Yeah.
So why,
Shaun: why are they over there
putting women through this pain
Peter: and then charging
Find a better way?
It's like when you go to the frats, when
they're pledging the frats and they have
the paddle and they're slapping their ass.
Thank you, sir.
May I have another?
That's essentially what it is.
Like you're going in for all
this fucking pain and you're,
they're charging you for it too.
, I don't wanna be here anymore
than you want me here.
So why are we charging somebody?
This is the problem.
This, there's many
problems with this country.
So many
Shaun: problems.
Don't even get us started.
I think we're too started right now.
I mean, there's just so much.
There's so many things wrong.
The price of rent, the, did you know
that it's gone up 21% since 2020?
Peter: No, I bet.
I believe it.
It's insane.
Price of toilet paper went up too.
Wonder why?
Can we talk about that for a second?
Why did everybody feel the need
to buy all the damn toilet paper?
Just so someone else couldn't have it.
Is it just so that everybody like,
'cause they knew everyone was
gonna take shits at home Probably.
Well, they just jacked it up.
You screwed us with the
toilet paper anyway.
Sorry.
They never went back down.
Right?
It's always stayed relatively high.
It's extremely high.
Like I think they, A
12 pack is like 21.99.
Shaun: It's okay.
Just use girl math.
If you buy a whole bunch of
rolls on Afterpay, it's not
real money, so it doesn't count.
Peter: It only comes back to you fourfold.
The fact that people like, for that,
for example, the fact that people have
to split things and four , because
their paychecks come every other
week or twice a month just to live,
Shaun: or, because you can't afford
to tuck that money aside like
people used to save up for an item
and then just go buy it outright.
Right.
Nowadays you, you can't do that.
So you're like, okay, I can afford this
much here, so I'm gonna pay this, then
I'm gonna postpone this payment, and then
I'm gonna pay this one and I'm gonna pay
this one late because it's my only option.
Peter: Right.
And then you have to hope
that nothing comes up in that.
Mm-hmm.
Like if you have a pet and
the pet gets sick, you have
to hope that nothing comes up.
Because otherwise you're screwed.
And that's another thing.
Shaun: Pets getting sick, just
bringing your pet to the vet to be
checked 'cause something is seems
off can cost you 200 or more dollars.
And then to find out nothing is
wrong sometimes, and don't get me
wrong, I'd rather know nothing is
wrong than have something missed.
But when nothing is wrong and you're still
charging us this much money and you're
not, you don't have to do anything else.
Peter: Right.
It's absurd.
It's just goes back to what
you were saying doctors should
be and it for the patients and
not necessarily for the money.
Shaun: Yeah.
Peter: It's obviously a desired profession
because people get sick or need medical
treatment, which is honestly hysterical
what this rigg president to 'cause.
He's just stripping fucking rights away.
Shaun: Yeah.
Peter: Stripping the, the health
insurance attacking Medicaid.
All these things that these MAGA voted for
are literally just being taken away and
then they have the same excuse every time.
It's gotta go, uh, gotta
go down to come back up.
Okay.
We'll see that when your
health is in decline.
And what the fuck is with
these anti-vaxxers too?
Like measles and should
not be a fucking thing.
No,
Shaun: it shouldn't be.
But you know, we have what's
her face to thank for that?
Peter: Didn't we have
a polio outbreak too?
Shaun: Yeah.
The polio was on the rise again.
Peter: Do you guys not
understand that polio?
That's where the man in the iron lung was.
Yeah, I was gonna say,
Shaun: do you not understand that
the only reason there aren't like
half the population in iron lungs
is because of the polio vaccine.
You dumb fucks.
Peter: Yeah.
Like seriously get vaccinated.
It's stupid not to.
Shaun: And on that note, there
is Absolutely, do your research.
Look it up.
'cause I can promise you there is
no scientific evidence that vaccines
cause any harm or any form of autism
or mental change or anything like that.
It's completely fabricated by that blonde
woman, a crazy fucking blonde woman.
Anyway.
Peter: But no, there is scientific
proof that autism can be caused
by the GMOs that are in her food.
Yeah,
Shaun: but not in, not from vaccines.
Peter: No, not from vaccines.
But to know that you're paying all
this money to have food in your house
that essentially is poisoning you
Shaun: Yeah.
Peter: Is, is pretty bad.
Yeah, that's my spiel.
Shaun: Well, we've talked about a lot of
the negatives with what's going on, but I
do have a couple little tidbits that are
more on the positive side for you here.
So just to let everyone know
if there's a Costco near you.
Costco's rotisserie chicken
has been 4 99 since 2009.
Wow.
They are considered a loss leader because
they're, they have not changed that.
They've stuck with it.
They seem to actually care for the most
part about their customers and just
the communities that they're in, and
not so much on the, um, topic of the
economy, but just on the girl math topic,
girl math, TikTok videos have over 1.3
billion views.
It has completely become a culture.
Wow.
And I just wanna mention that also because
it spiraled into other things as well.
Like there's, there's dog math and cat
math, bro math and kid math and gay math.
What?
Math.
It's just like the weird things
that YI don't know, have an example
of brom math off the top of my
head, but I can try and find one.
Peter: Is that the, is that trying to
like justify buying something or the
Shaun: price?
So if you spend, this is
the example it gave me.
If you, if I spend $500 on a new
gaming system, but it keeps me home
and not at the bar, I made money.
Peter: Okay.
I can kind of see that.
I can kind of see that
I don't agree with it.
Shaun: Here's another
example of girl math.
I spent $200 on concert tickets because
joyous, finite, and Harry Styles isn't.
Peter: Okay.
Spend $200 so that you can be jam packed
with everybody's tit sweat on you.
I don't wanna, no.
Harry Styles very good looking man.
But not worth it
Shaun: for me.
Or the, this, the Taylor Swift concert
tickets being more than rent, but
worth it for the serotonin surge.
Peter: Taylor's hard because , that
might be a good concert to go to.
I don't think anybody no.
Everyone, I'm pretty sweaty because
she jams them in like sardines.
Shaun: They all do nowadays though.
No, it's just how, that's
the name of the game.
It seems like.
Peter: I just don't want to, it
Shaun: just seems like too much work.
I wanna, if I'm gonna go out, I wanna have
Peter: fun.
Shaun: I don't wanna, I don't wanna
be pressed up in between people
not being able to move or breathe.
Peter: Yeah.
Have someone's boner on your back.
That's not cute.
Smell someone's sws.
Ugh.
Concerts.
We used to go all the time when
I was younger, but then I, now I
think about how unsanitary it is
and , I don't think I wanna go back.
Shaun: Yeah.
I just wanna be in my e
prey, cancel my plans era.
That's what I want to do.
Peter: Yeah.
I think that millennials get to a point
too with their age and they're just
like, it's not old, but you start wanting
to be a homebody and not going out.
And then people make plans and they're
like, we're gonna go at nine 30 and what
the fuck are you doing out at nine 30?
Shaun: You're going out at nine 30.
Peter: Yeah.
We're not in our twenties.
I thought we were coming.
I thought we
Shaun: were coming home at nine 30.
Peter: We're not in our twenties.
We're not invincible anymore.
Where you would brave the cold
storms with no fucking jacket.
Whenever someone says, oh, so you
wanna meet up around 11, no at night.
Absolutely not.
11 in the morning, let's go to brunch.
Yeah, that's cool.
No,
Shaun: 11.
My dog has to go to the
bathroom around that time.
I can't meet you at that time.
I've got stuff to do.
Peter: Not to mention these people that
are still going to the gay clubs at
this point, I mean, no, they're in your
forties and stuff, and you're staying
up until two, three in the morning
hoping to catch a piece of twink cast.
No, no.
Shaun: Okay.
If you're doing it once in a great
while to celebrate, and that's the only
time you're expecting to catch a piece
of twin gas, then whatever, have fun.
But if you're going out there every
fucking weekend, every night, and you're.
Chant and wrecking your car and
losing all your money on some little
hoe, then get your shit together.
Peter: Yeah.
It sounds exhaust.
There's more important things to do.
It sounds exhausting, like sleep.
Yeah.
Honestly, I'd rather sleep
Shaun: at this point.
Trust me from this coming from a reformed
hoe, it gets old and who it does, who the
Peter: fuck has time for
Shaun: naps?
Peter: You don't take naps as adults?
Shaun: No.
Even when I try to take a nap, I can't,
like I am shocked, awake out of the
fear that I have something to do.
Peter: Yeah.
You No.
Naps are not a real thing for adults
and if you do take them, why the
how do you have the fucking time?
Shaun: How, explain to me how you
take them, where you fit them in.
I need like a, a dossier so that I can
start training myself to take naps.
Peter: Right.
Like, shit, I don't know how
you're freaking doing it.
You can't.
No.
Mm-hmm.
Then you're doing it in between like
two or three jobs because you can't
afford a box of Captain Crunch.
God,
Shaun: I
Peter: miss
Shaun: Captain Crunch.
Peter: Yeah, you stare at it.
Now
Shaun: you just walk past
it in the grocery store.
Like, do I
Peter: need this mos instant mos?
Shaun: Yeah.
Well that's, that's the deciding factor.
Do I need this?
No.
Do I want it?
Yes.
Will it give me bigger moods?
Yeah, I should just move on.
Peter: Honestly, if you eat it
now, it's just gonna be stuck with
you for the next 15 years, so, no.
Shaun: Yeah.
Pretty much redeem.
Peter: Yeah.
It's not good.
And honestly, we've kind, we've
burned through a lot of topics.
I think we're good for today.
You wanna wrap it up?
Yeah, wrap it up like a
condom during pride month.
Shaun: That would be rainbow.
Or maybe green Apple.
Who knows?
Peter: Ugh.
Why do they make flavored condoms?
Shaun: So I was originally told
that it was so that the man can, uh,
penetrate the woman and then he can go
down on her and it will be flavored.
But I don't know that that's true.
Peter: Okay.
So you can talk to her and
then eat him out that Yeah.
You could have just been crass,
Shaun: but then I've also heard that
they're for oral sex, but I don't know
why people wear a condom for a blowjob.
It just seems, make sure
it doesn't go in your eye.
I mean, I know why they do it, but
I just, I wouldn't, it's not for me.
Peter: No.
I saw one of the gay TikTok writers
I used to follow and keeps coming
up in my for you where he had a
red freaking eye and he is like.
When somebody blows your baby batter on
your, your face and you get something
in your eye, why does it fucking burn?
Is there any help for this?
Asking for a friend?
Shaun: You're clearly the friend, sir.
Peter: Yeah.
You look like somebody freaking gave
you pink eye fucking farted in your eye.
Shaun: I was just gonna say, you only
have fucking pink eye over there.
Peter: It's not cute.
Some of the, these sexual gay
tiktoks is, it's just not cute.
It's not cute.
Anyway.
Anyway, thanks for spiraling with us.
May your bank account recover
faster than the economy.
And remember, if life gives
you lemons, check the price
per pound before committing.
We'll catch you next time.
Shaun: Bye.
