[120]
laugh the hardest thing the guy that
[121]
serves up the food the guy who serves
[122]
the food there's a 65 year old man named
[124]
pete
[125]
a greek guy very virile strong guy i
[127]
hope i'm like him at 65.
[129]
and he gives you all the food explaining
[132]
how sexually virile it will make you
[136]
is he really teething this is the beef
[138]
teriyaki you know what i do with this
[139]
when i'm a shepherd in greece i take
[140]
this and go home with two or three women
[142]
from the field just all night long
[144]
you're a big star you can get four or
[146]
five women trust me next day i sprinkle
[148]
some paprika on a uh on a hard-boiled
[150]
egg you know what that'll do for you you
[151]
know where the privatism is bj
[153]
just that's how he pitches all the food
[156]
you usually lose your appetite but it
[158]
energizes you that would work for some
[160]

[184]
yeah i think yeah when you think about
[186]
it i'm not as much into christmas candy
[187]
yeah easter candy i think
[188]
that would be easter candy i know you
[189]
mentioned marshmallow peeps before which
[191]
are good
[191]
um i am going to here's the thing about
[194]
cadbury eggs
[201]
it's a weird slow ground swell for
[203]
marshmallow peeps come to think of it
[205]
what are those
[206]
yes yes um my favorite cadbury eggs and
[210]
this is what happened to me this year oh
[211]
cranberry eggs are good yeah
[212]
well where were you a second ago when i
[214]
brought up easter candy
[216]
what were you picturing chocolate
[219]
bunnies this is thinking about
[220]

[224]
we're both about 15 minutes behind yeah
[226]
um
[228]
anyway cadbury eggs i got to say those
[231]
cadbury eggs uh that seems like a good
[232]
product
[233]
there we go there we go we'll pick it up
[234]
from here cabriolet's great product we
[236]
have money to edit this
[237]
[Laughter]
[239]
we're not doing anything with this
[240]
segment what i do especially on the day
[242]
after easter when it's 50
[244]
off i buy it for the rest of the year
[245]
because it's seasonal candy obviously
[246]
sure and um wait so after easter
[248]
you go and buy as much of it because
[249]
it's cheap then that you can just hang
[251]
on to it exactly and i'll put in my
[253]
freezer
[253]
it'll carry me through the year if i
[254]
feel like a cadbury creme egg and pete
[256]
the craft service guy doesn't have it
[258]
right and i have some on my own i buy my
[260]
cadbury eggs this year
[261]
they are um they feel smaller than they
[263]
used to be and i asked my friends
[265]
okay a couple people noticed that right
[267]
yeah i asked my friends have they got
[268]
smaller at my friend say no you've just
[270]
gotten bigger
[271]
right well i buy them every year i don't
[273]
think i got bigger last year
[275]
yeah yeah um but i said okay then i went
[277]
on the cadbury site just to check
[279]
right they can bring my website website
[281]
you go to the main cabaret website
[282]
it says on the front page no they have
[285]
not gotten smaller
[286]
you've gotten bigger so
[289]
something is up that's weird that
[291]
they're no one asks they're volunteering
[293]
yeah that's very strange
[295]
that makes you a little suspicious that
[296]
they've brought it up so easily
[298]
or they've heard so many complaints yes
[300]
that's what i think they said
[301]
i'm thinking okay i have stashed away
[305]
uh easter candy for years you know for
[306]
the course of the year i must have
[308]
somewhere
[308]
i must have a cabaret from previous year
[310]
i looked through all the cabinets in my
[311]
house i find a cadbury creme egg from a
[313]
couple years ago and i brought it
[315]
this is one this is this year's cabaret
[317]
egg not the mini egg not the mini creme
[319]
egg this is this year's egg yes this is
[321]
