Yeah, and I know for a fact it's not pronounced Mike, but I failed to ask you me how to pronounce it. What is it, Mike? We'll go with Mike, but it's not Mike.

No, I'm with you. I just wish I knew how to say it, but you probably were right with Mike. What else could it be? Nike? Yeah, Mikey. What else, Chuck? Is there anything else to say about popcorn? Oh, I know one. Apparently people have used popcorn as like a packaging stuffer. Like packing peanuts. Yeah, packing peanuts, but popcorn instead. Since like the 1950s.
