The Ferture. I genuinely might be able to speak to this here, like I mean, I think you just get to a point. I mean, maybe it's Tracy's different lot in life because now she has a kid. You know, she just has a tough time meeting other girl friends. I think it's especially when you move to a new city or you move to a new neighborhood or like Tracy, you become a mom and your home a lot more often or for whatever reason your friend group changes. I think it is sometimes hard to find new women friends and you know, and be able to form those close friendships. If you're not going to be introduced to them through a work setting, it might be hard to find a new social circle or a new BFF. It's really tough. I think it produced two to like just actually want to hang out. You know, seem weird. Yeah, and not have some kind of drama circulating. I don't know, it's just tough all the way around. And tapetha met somebody over the weekend that she thinks you made a connection with and would like to have an a friend group. Hey, tapetha. Hello. Good morning. How are you? Good. How are you guys? Good. Now, we had a big old party on Saturday, the Jersey

short party and that's where you met your soon to be friend. Yes, yes, I met it there. Kind of a weird way how we met. And me and a friend went together and we realized this girl was by herself. So we were like, oh, she's too cute to be by herself. So let's give it a minute. Let's see if she shows up with somebody. You know, we don't want to be the weird girls coming up to this person. So we waited around and she's still standing there. So my friend went and approached her and asked her, you know, did she get stood up and actually she did. Oh, my friends are a guy. I don't think we asked. I just know she's like, I'm actually about to leave. I think it was her friend. She said her friend was supposed to show up but she hasn't showed up yet. So yeah, we branded her and told her to be part of our group and you know, what's that fun? That was cool, love you. That was really cool. Love you. So we did the whole, you know, now the Jersey

short, all the ad contested all that and we went to opera afterwards. Cool. When we were standing in line, she was saying that she had to leave before it's Marta clothes because she lived in Buford. So we were asking her, you know, are you sure you want to go in opera because it's kind of close to the time for you to leave. She was like, oh sure, no, I don't mind. I don't mind. Well, you know, having a good old time dancing our thoughts off and having fun, she just ended up disappearing. So we're assuming she left. I don't, you know, I didn't even get a full name or her number or anything. Now you hung out with her for a couple hours and you never got her name? Well, like her full name is Christina, but she goes by Nina, but I didn't get her last name. Okay, that's fine. Christina, but she goes by Nina. Right. Okay, and we know she lives in Buford. And do you know what she does for a living? Are there any other details?

She said she's about to have her associates and that she's going to go into law school. Actually, we had a picture together. I think I attached that to the email. So there's a picture of all three of us. Is that my help? I don't know. Yeah, I think producer Tracy is putting it up online at thebertshow.com right now. Cool. So between these details and the picture, I'm about 98% share will find. So what was it about like your conversation that you struck up where you're like, I really want to be friends with this girl? It was really easy going to hang out with her. It wasn't caddy or we didn't have any drama. We had a lot of, you know, similarities. She has actually moved here from New Mexico. And so she was afraid of going out and meeting her friend because she was afraid that other woman are clikish. So she was really surprised that we funded her seeing her by herself. And I don't know what else to say. I mean, it seemed like a really cool trick to hang

out with. That's cool. That's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah, it was really cool. I think we've got a lot to work with here. Okay. So if you might know who Christina is, give us a call right now. And we're going to try to get her on the phone with Tabitha. 877-588-2378. Christina, nick name Nina. She was at our Jersey Shore party on Saturday night. And then she went over to Opera. We know that she's from Buford. We know that she's studying to be in law. She's at law school right now, right? Yeah, I believe so. And that she's from New Mexico. What does she look like? Tall, skinny, gorgeous, long blonde hair. Great. I don't know. I mean, okay. I know. I think that's good. I blonde, tall, thin. That'll help us at least find the right Nina. Yeah, I bet we'll get her. I bet we'll get her. All right, Tabitha, hold on one second. Okay. I know. Okay. All right. And again, like this is some sexual thing. This is cool. Yeah. I think it's really cool that you follow up. So Tabitha, Matt, Christina, who goes by Nina

on Saturday night. If you know who this is, she's from Buford. She's in law school right now. And she's originally from New Mexico. Give us a call right now. And we're going to try to get them both together. You're on the virtue. So Jeff here told us yesterday that he inadvertently has been stealing accidentally been stealing from a store for like two years. Well, I think it was more like three years. Three years. Yeah, it's a place that I go into fairly regularly. And like I know the people who are there, right? And it's like a mom and pop type of place. So the people who work there, usually all the same. And it's usually one of four people and they're all related like one is mom and one is pop. And then I think there's two other people who work there who are like cousins or something. But it's all one family and mom and pop kind of run it or have run it. You know what I mean? So they and everybody and that's who I met first, like the mom and the pop. So everybody knows I knew them, which is why I don't think I got caught

before. But one of the very first times that I went in there, they have a basket on the counter that has like packs of gum candy bars like full size, like not like the little like the mini the miniatures, not the Halloween ones, but like full size candy bars, packs of gum, just little snacky things. So again, there's different things mixed in there every now and again. But that's what's in the basket. And it sits in a little basket on the counter. One of the first times I went in there, mom says to me, would you, would you like a snack? So I took something like a pack of gum or something. And then like the second or third time I went you know a couple times after that mom or pop. I don't remember who says would you like a snack? So he took one what I love started to build a pattern here now. Well it became a habit that like I would go in have a conversation with them pay for what I would have to pay for take something out

of the basket and walk out and leave right. Okay. Nobody ever said a word to me. I do remember like odd looks, but nobody ever actually said like hey that's not free. Right anything to me. Right. Right. But it was pretty consistent that I would just take it. Now I will tell you like a year and a half ago. I did this is tough to admit, but a year and a half ago I did go into the store and as I walked in mom picked the basket up off the counter and put it on a table behind her. And I do remember actually saying asking hey can I have a pack of gum? Because it was behind her and I assumed she was just filling it back up. And she gave you the pack it didn't charge you for it. She put the basket back on the counter. Okay. So this has been going on pretty much weekly for about three years. Oh no. So every time they see you coming they know

well it's not even blind. I mean they see him coming and they're so nice they don't even put the stuff away but they know him. Well they put it. It's going to steal stuff. They tried to put it away once and I called them out on it. Right. So they finally hired somehow. But I think pop is I think he's actually sick. So he's getting some treatments that have gone. I'm kind of worn down. But they can't pay for him because they're just a little bit shy. Right. So they have they have you know, depart like they they have brought in some reinforcements to cover you know, it was one of those things where the same people are there all the time. So this guy leaves they've hired like two or three other people that I've seen in there. So I remember one kid who was probably like 16 years old working. I paid for what I did grabbed a pack of gum and walked out and as I'm leaving I hear him go excuse me. But for whatever reason I didn't feel like I thought he was going to give him a receipt or something so I just kept going. And then you heard the voice but you just yeah refused to acknowledge it. It's a lot like at the first is that we did. Right.

I know there's people there. This guy is pompous. Right. I only has even stealing for years. No he's ignoring the reclur. So then there's a woman in there last time I went in there's a woman in there and I pick up the pack of gum at least she goes sir sir sir I go yeah and she goes I didn't I didn't charge you for that. I didn't hear you ask for that because I use a credit card right and I said I charge for what and she goes the gum and I'm like oh I know I took it out of the basket. Well apparently there's a the basket sits on a glass countertop and underneath the countertop like inside the display case is a sign that says 75 cents that sits right in front of where the basket sits on the counter. Oh no. And it's definitely not a new sign. You haven't seen this thing in three years. Never once paid attention just thought it like but also on the top of the case like there's like a couple family photos there's like maybe the first dollar they ever earned or the

one they're saving for when I put them out of business. The little 18 that they sponsor. Yeah there's a certificate of appreciation from blah blah blah high school and all this stuff and it's all like taped up underneath so I never really noticed that there's 75 cents and then underneath it says it even you know just to show how freaking nice and saintly and honest they aren't say if we are busy just leave three quarters on the register we trust you. So you're on the honor system. Yeah. So and it's so pretty much every single week for about 150 weeks now I have stolen from them. Yeah I just tallied it up. What's the total? $117. $170. So a dollar amount it's not really that big of a deal. Like I would have a mom and pop store $117. I will I will go in there later today and give my 120 bucks. That's not the problem. The arrogance though of what I and I carry myself fairly arrogantly but this is a whole. He's gonna be on that. This is a whole nother level like I

in front of them. Yeah you're ripping them off in front of them. Like do you know what the equivalent is this? This is my new Mac. Pick up my computer and walk it up. It's mine. Right. And then Gengo excuse me. Yeah excuse me. Well I guess I won't say anything. Yeah. So for three years this is going on now. Now it's kind of their fault for not saying anything. Well they're just so sweet and like old and probably very southern every week every week for three years. And then the worst part about it is I was digging for something in my car like two days ago like in that compartment that lives between the passenger and the driver's seat. I was digging down through there for oh it's just it was Saturday when that car wreck happened. I'm looking for my insurance certificate or whatever and I found like 11 packs of gum. None of them opened. I got to not even need it. It just became habit that I was like yeah they hit it on me once and I asked them to get it out. You have to give that money to pop or mom. Yeah. You can't get it to the new employees because I'm so confused. You need to wait until you can give it to the right people.

I have to explain to them and go my coworker did the math. It's 120 bucks. Here you go. That's embarrassing dude. And I'm sorry for stealing from you. Right under your nose. Listen it's the virtue.

This is the Burt Show. Sometimes these surveys come out and I find these hard to believe. I like to hear from the Burt Show listeners that are married that aren't spending the night in the same room. Like you guys have two separate rooms because a new article came out today that said the new trend is that that couples are sleeping in separate rooms and almost one in four American couples do this. That was so surprising to me. That's the part about it. I don't believe that people now are making custom homes and they're putting two master bedrooms into their homes so they don't have to spend the night in the same room. 877-588-Burt-B-E-R-T-877-588-2378. And Jenna and I were talking about it before. That feels more like a roommate situation. It does. I was trying to figure out the reasons why. I mean, if you don't like each other but you're just staying married because maybe it's

the best financial decision or you feel like it's the right financial decision for your or the best decision for your kids or whatever it may be. Maybe it's that rather than separating you are just going to live in separate rooms. But that sounds like a temporary situation to me. Not something you would plan for. Now we got to eliminate the calls that we'll get from people that say one snores so much and you've tried it and there's just nothing you can do. We can eliminate those. Those are way too easy. I just can't figure out another reason why you guys would spend the night in separate rooms. Other than the snoring. I'd be the only thing. I didn't do that many people snore that badly. I told you one of my best friends, John. He's his problem. But that's so bad. It's like four years he went without spending the night in the same room as a wife. But custom homes with two master bedroom. So you're going in knowing that you guys, yeah, you're not crashing together. Right. Good morning, Don. You're on the birch show. Some more in birch show. You guys are awesome. Thank you, Don. My husband and I, although I know

they're sleep number beds. Now we sleep in separate rooms because neither one of us like a mattress that's even similar. We get a long fine. Our marriage is great. We just at the end of the night, we go to separate rooms. Do you pick whose bedroom you're going to do that in? Pardon me. Do you pick which bedroom you're going to do? Where do you make love? Husband and wife stuff in? Oh, up there. Well, I guess you call his room. His room? His room. Really? In his room. I would think yours would be all more neat and smell more girly and you'd have the candles. And his is like a locker room. Yeah, and she doesn't want him to stink it up. Yeah, the kids across the hall from my room. It's geography. There's no mattress at all that can satisfy both. Don't they sell those for a while that were two different kinds of mattresses all in the same? Well, that's what we need to do is go to the sleep number bed. Like something like that. Basically it's because, wow, nice nor too.

So, you know, your friend John and his snoring thing, I don't know that I'm as loud as that Yeah, I mean, they went four years. Okay. Thank you for calling. That is crazy. Just don't like the same mattress. Who's the first to bring that up? Like, hey, I got an idea here. Well, how are we just crashing in another room? Because I made the way the mattress. I'd be so insulted. If Stacy said that, I'd be so insulted. Because you would think that was the excuse and not the real reason. And how do you, because that's something you know going into it? Like that's when you have the first sleepover. You're like, oh, you're like really soft bed. How do you sleep in this? Like you have to know going into it. Yeah, there are no shortage of calls here. Maybe this is an accurate statistic. This says that one of four American couples sleep in separate rooms now. Hey, Sabrina, good morning. You're on the birch show. Good morning. We love your show. My husband's in the car with me. We travel to work together. We listen to you guys every day. Well, at least you guys travel together. Yeah, we work at the same company. So it works out really good. But you're not in the same room to sleep. We have it done that in about seven years. Why? Well, Michael is light sensitive. And I have to

sleep with the TV on in order to fall asleep. And he has to have it pitch black dark as a matter of fact. Our rooms have felt over the windows. Black out curtains that you can buy from any, you know, major department store. And he also has sleep apnea. And he has a sleep apnea machine. And the sleep apnea machine drives me crazy. And I can't fall asleep. And we have dogs and the dogs like to be with me downstairs in one room. And he likes to be by himself in the bed. Well, and get good night's sleep that way. So at the end of the night, you guys kiss each other. See tomorrow, baby. And then you go to your separate rooms. Oh, bummer. I want to know where how they did the Humpty Dumpty like where do you go? Downstairs or up? No, his room because he's got the sleep apnea machine. Then get my sex here. You put that thing over your mouth and nose and tighten up the chain strap. Oh, that's awesome. Oh, man. Yeah, yeah. The oxygen flung through his system.

It also plays berry whites. I'm being heard over there. Stop. I'm getting turned on right now. Baby, go sit on the Victoria's Secret stuff. I'll be in my room with the sleep apnea machine waiting for you. Hey, Heather, good morning. You're on the Perkshow. Hi. Hi, my boyfriend and I have been together for about eight years. We've been sleeping in separate rooms for the last year and a half. It's because of one word snoring snoring. Yeah, this would be a pretty common one right here. My friend Terrence had sleep apnea problem. I think I told you guys this. He went in for a sleep study and they said that he was waking up something like 350 times in the middle of the night. That's insane. Yeah. So he is. That was really crazy. It's some surgery done for it, but now it's come back. Hey, Josh, good morning. You're on the birch show. What's up? Good morning. That's one of the things that I actually sell mattresses. And I'd say lawyer every five couple picked them in a buying separate beds. Separate beds. One in five couples get separate beds.

And they're setting them up in different rooms. Different rooms. Damn. That was so crazy. I wonder if somebody goes to bed earlier than the other. If that would if that would work out like we have a call like that. I think Jeff's going to speak to that. Hey, Jeff. Good morning. You're on the birch show. Hey, good morning. My parents slept in separate bedrooms for years and years because of the odd schedule. My dad worked. It made it difficult for my mom to be able to sleep. Yeah, we should be able to relate to this a little bit. Like, let's say like my wife Stacy was really sensitive to waking up when I get to get up at 330 in the morning or if Jessica was, I could definitely see them saying I just can't do this 330 schedule anymore. Well, that's what you said that you're not allowed to hit the snooze button. Yeah, like a wife will stab you. Yeah, she I don't snooze for fear of my own life. And I also like talk about the snoring thing too. Like it's not even if I get sick like if I start to get a cold like a sinasy thing, I snore and that's not just I can't sleep through that either. That's good. Let's go upstairs or into the cage in the yard.

So if you're sleeping in separate rooms one in four American couples are doing that now. This is the birch show.

It's the virtue. We have a weird obsession on this show with nine on one calls because for whatever reason, people like to make fools of themselves when they call 911 and they call people to when they call the police. The intention is always good, but what they're talking about is really never is often nuts.

Well, we've heard them call 911 before like in the drive through window, right? Like when the drive through gets their order wrong, they put a catch about my offer and they'll call it like they've been stolen from because you know, they didn't get the right burger option. Yeah, and then there is a new one out of Florida. And this guy, I don't know where in Florida it is, but he needs a ride to the liquor store. Oh, nice. Yeah, check the check. He really does not need to go to the liquor store. This is 911. Oh, I need a... I need a... A red... Do you need a ride? How'd she get that? Um... Here says the... Okay, you're going to have to call somebody else, sir. Do you call 911? We can't come give you a ride. You want to share this together, right?

The sheriff said they give you a ride to the liquor store? I bet they do. Oh, wow. That guy does not need to go to the liquor store. Yeah, we play the first part of that again. How did she get you need a ride out of that? I speak drunk, I got it. This is 911. I need a... I need a... A red... You need a ride? That's easy. To the liquor store. Um... Here says the... You're going to have to call somebody else, sir. You called 911. We can't come give you a ride. You want to share this together? Yeah, I got that guy. 911 calls are priceless, especially when the people are drunk or actin' foolish or... When there's alcohol involved, you do your best. I mean, I know there's emergencies and stuff, but do your best to stay away from 911.

We love our 911 callers on the birch show. But then there's this woman who called looking for a date. This is out of Cincinnati. Bernadette music calls this apartment building in Norwood home. But it's her call to 911 a week ago. That's getting so much attention. I could dial 911 and they said I try to ask him for a date. I'm having a hard time. You know, I hold up. I get one and stuff and I want to... ...and I'm getting some believe I did that. I must have been drunk and just didn't realize it. I'm gonna have to find 911 and eat the gal. Something else, okay? On the other end was Vittyshumacher. 911, where's your emergency? I've heard a lot after 18 years as a dispatcher, but nothing like this. She just starts proceeding and telling me that she's looking for a date. Yes, and you know, it's like, okay, you know, this has got to be a prank. It wasn't. And you tell, okay, if it's a date line, it's not 911.

What are you doing, number? Are you embarrassed? No, not really. I'm very brave and bold. I tell you how it is. I told a cop, you know, a week ago, I asked him if they were salty because they wasn't getting any of this. It's not a joke for police. They say music called more than four times and wasted 20 minutes of their time. A malicious call like this really hamper the ability of the dispatchers to put out runs in a timely manner. As for a date, music says she's more than happy with her boyfriend, Jimbo. Someone's time on the phone like that could cost the way they're life. I found out I made a mistake when I did that. I didn't realize it was going to put me through all this. I know a police arrested music last night for allegedly urinating in an apartment building. That's when they arrested her for disorderly conduct and also the charge of calling 911. She was arraigned this morning and will be back in court in mid September. In the best part about that is she had a boyfriend. Her boyfriend's name was Jimbo. Well, there's not much going on in Cincinnati, especially on Sundays.

They close those places like at four. My boyfriend, I'm very happy with my boyfriend, Jimbo. I'm going to take a look at that. I can't take a look at that. I see it sometimes, but not for 911. And this is the one, oh, you guys have heard this little little lady who knew some help from 911. She's just trying to fall asleep. 911? This isn't really an emergency, but it is sort of one to this little lady. I've been terribly obsessed and I thought the only thing I could do, I don't think of sleep pills and all of that. I went out and bought myself a couple of small bottles of beer. I thought that wouldn't be lacking. What's the problem? The problem is I can't open the bottle. Could you send a man over and I'll be downstairs and have him open the bottle? Oh, wait a minute. Oh, okay, wait a minute. Am I correct that you can't play two? You went out and bought two bottles of beer and you want to place me in the combine open and four years, please. Please be too long. I don't have any equipment here that seems to handle that turn of a prop. I have never gone in.

I think I had a ticket bottle once and a neighbor broke the top of it. I'm going to get you someone out there to open those beer bottles. Are you just staying here, pardon them? I'll send them up to the apartment. What's your phone number? Well, I take a look at it. It's a new one and I don't remember very well. I can hardly see it. It's all bothered and blurred. It looks like I can't see it with all the magnifying. You can't see it with that magnifying glass. That's okay that I don't know your phone number now. Well, it looks like it has been put in by the operator or the one that put the phone in. It's down below and that's just washed it and then they put another one on the top and they're sort of over blurred. I'm showing you all. Yes, okay. I'll just get it. I'm cold, Silver. I know you are. I don't have any bad and tenderness. I'm unable to go to sleep. I know. Well, we'll get you out there to open that beer bottle.

Thank you. You're welcome. She's so handsome. Yeah. Okay. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Oh, no. Oh, no. She's so innocent. I think that tonight. I think that was sweet. I know I should be the person saying, don't waste government money to help an old woman get drunk and fall asleep. Well, she wasn't trying to get drunk. She wasn't as drunk as the first guy. You just got to, you just need to have a couple of sip so you can dose off. Can I call it? Can I play the liquor store guy again? You love that guy. This is 911. I need a... I need a... I'm run. You need a ride? Yes, this liquor store. I'm looking for a stop. Here's the see-you ride. Okay, you're gonna have to call somebody else, sir. You call 911. We can't come to you, you arrive. You and the see-you ride. The sheriff said they give you ride to the liquor store?

I'm going to make you really hungry, and then I'm going to make you really, really grossed out after you hear this. This is the worst kids meals in America. Okay. Okay. So everybody's, you know, in back to school time right now, getting ready, and you're going to be rushing around, you're going to be, you know, going out to eat, maybe to get a quick meal if you can't cook at home or whatever.

And these are the meals you don't want to get for your kids. It's the top five, the worst kids meals in America. Number five. Is it Olive Garden? Okay. It's the Olive Garden Fedochini Alfredo meal. Which is going to make you really hungry, right? I know Fedochini Alfredo is so bad for you, but it's so good. It's so good. Okay. This is number five on the list because there's 800 calories and 48 grams of fat. Well, I mean, that's what Alfredo sauce is, isn't it? It is. Yeah. Kind of expect that from a pasta. The saturated fat equivalent would be like sitting down and eating one and a half full jars of Nutella. Oh my God. Okay. Okay. That's a kid's meal. Okay. And they say instead to get the cheese ravioli. Now, at Apple Bees is number four on the list. They say there are Apple Bees grilled cheese with French fries is 1,020 calories and 54 grams of fat. It's a grilled cheese. How can they have that meat calorie in it though? 54 grams of fat. Well, that also includes the French fries is the side.

And the calorie equivalent they say is 400 cheddar goldfish crackers. That's 1.3 full bags. So you want to have, they say at Apple Bees, you want to have the hot dog with the applesauce instead. Much better for your kids at that point than the grilled cheese with the French fries. I haven't really found out about the grilled cheese because those things are small so you don't realize and well, I know they've come to the franchise, but you don't realize that that little same. Fifty or grams of fat. Okay. Three. Hey, by the way, today Jen's radio name is fun killer. Third on the list is Outback's take house. I love Outback. I do. I do. I love it. That's lame and onion. Nothing like a state from a koala bear. Kids meal called the Outback's take house, Cucumber a chicken fingers meal with Aussie fries is 1,030 calories and 60 grams of fat. They say the fat equivalent would be like eating 12 frosted chocolate fudge pop tarts. 12 of them. Why are they comparing this stuff to other really unhealthy things? This thing is so unhealthy.

It's like eating 12 pop tarts. Oh, okay. Well, that's healthy. So they say instead of the chicken fingers with the fries and Outback, you should get your kids the Joey Sirloin with fresh seasonal vegetables. That's much healthier for them. If I'm not mistaken, the blooming onion and Outback is like the health, at least healthy thing that you can get at a restaurant. I don't know about that, but I'll get it anyway. It's so good. It's so good. I love to that thing. Denny's is at number two on this worst kids meals in America list. Denny's slap shot sliders meal with finish line fries is 53 grams of fat. That's 1,070 calories. They say the equivalent would be two full boxes of jujubees. What is it? It's a huge heap of beef. That's not a big box. Or 90 tons of apples. Like, compare it with something. Oh, the apples would be good. That's what I'm saying. Like try to compare it with something healthy. I know. Well, they say instead of Denny's, you should get this spaghetti set go with apple, dunkers and caramel dip that's much better for your kids. We're really comparing Denny's instead of Denny's, you should really go to a salad bar.

No, because you can still rack up there too. Just stay home. Don't have any fun. Don't eat. I don't believe that. It's a summary sticks. Zero calories negative. If I'm feeling like eating healthy and I go to like a place with a salad bar, I try to pretend that the cheese, the blue cheese, and the ranch dressing, and that I'm in the croutons. Don't count because I'm also having lettuce. Right. No, they still count. Nope. If whatever you put on a bed of lettuce is healthy. No, true. It's swear to God. Sometimes some of those salads are more fattening and have calories than the sandwiches. And then when you go to those salad bars, they also have the hot bar, which still doesn't add to your calorie count. Right. Thank you, Wendy. It does. It tracks the calories. If you have the loaded potato with the bacon and the butter and the sour cream, it doesn't count that you're not eating meat. That doesn't make it local. And you know who should get a Nobel Peace Prize for food development? Is the person who invented the taco salad? Uh-huh. Actually, a salad prepared in a deep fried edible bowl, seriously.

That is not any less. That man gets a tongue kiss. Go ahead and get a burrito. No. Get the chimichong gum. Because the salad's healthy because it says salad. Okay. So then the top one on the worst kids meals in America is Jeff, you said that this is a chain that's up north. It's called friendlies. Yeah, friendlies. I know it's in the Northeast. I don't know where else, but it was a road trip. It was a road trip stop for us when we were when I was growing up. Well, you don't want to get your kids the friendlies mac and cheese case of DM meal with friendly Frank Shirley Temple and friends at peanut buttercup because this kids meal, one meal for your kid has 109 grams of fat in it, 2,270 calories. That would be the equivalent of your kid eating 45 glazed munchkins from Dunkin Donuts. You know what, when you're saying these, I'm actually thinking like that one I would probably rather have the munchkins. You know, eat all 45 of the munchkins and set. But friendly's mac and cheese is cool. Oh, man, 109 grams of fat.
