Why is tequila a recurring topic in the show?
Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here? Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during ad reads, like... Cuervo. I think he could lay out, especially for one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious Cuervo. Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots.
Cuervo. Cuervo.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
What happened to the astronauts stuck in space?
Do you guys remember the astronauts that were stuck up in space? Well, they're finally coming home. Wow.
How long were they up there?
Like nine months. They were supposed to be up there for a week. And then something happened to their craft, their spacecraft that got sent back home without them. And now there's finally a crew going to the ISS to replace them and, I guess, rescue them. So they're coming back.
Sullivan, can you try and get a hold of one of them so that I can find out what are the practical difficulties in expecting to go to space for a week and ending up there nine months? I would imagine that there are all sorts of difficulties any of us wouldn't understand. I'd like to talk to an astronaut. How do you get eggs? That's the chief question, obviously, that we would all fall on. Oh, my God.
They're going to be so mad when they find out how much they cost now.
How are rising food prices affecting consumers?
I think they're going back down, I heard. I haven't bought an egg. Sometimes I hoard eggs. That's probably bad, right? But I buy at the wrong time.
They limit two per person in our grocery store now. Yeah.
I think I've seen that sign, but I'll go, and if it's a price that I think is going to go higher, I treat it like the stock market, my goods. So I'll go, and if I get the sense that egg prices are going to go up, I'll say, you know what? $8.99 is a lot for 18 eggs, but it's better than $10.29, so I'm going to get two batches of 18 eggs.
What is the controversy around selling bottled water?
But then you're playing with fire because you come back a week later and now they're $4.79 for 18. So it's really a dangerous game that I'm playing with my produce and with my goods there. But it's what we have to do. Thank you for asking. Maybe sell eggs outside the arena the way they sell waters. That is such a good business, by the way. No, not the eggs. The water. If you could successfully sell water, honestly, and you have the right... I'm not a salesman by nature. We know this. It's like $4 for a 24-pack, something like that. You can get a 24-pack of water or even you go to a Sam's or a BJ's or a Costco or one of these big box stores as they call them, you buy a 40 pack of water, you get that for let's say $6.99.
If you sell it for a dollar each, you could probably jack it up to $2. You sell it for $1 each, that's $40 you made on that one pack. If you do $2, that's $80 that you can make. Now, you need to find people. You can't do $150. We all know that. You can't be on the side of the street selling bottles of water for $150. Once you start breaking it into fractions of $1, things get complicated. People just keep driving by you. But if you have the wherewithal to do it and go out there and sell that water, that's The ROI on that, Dan.
Yes, I agree. I've often thought that whenever seeing someone sell overpriced water, that that would be a good business. Can you guys please, for me, before the end of the show, find me some short actors whose height would shock the audience? And also, I'd like to ask all of you recently, what is something that you have purchased that you have been alarmed about? by how much the price of that has gone up. Because a lot of people are talking about fruit, a cup of coffee, A cup of coffee is now at a price point that is totally absurd for a cup of beans. I told you recently that a regular small smoothie with fresh fruit I saw for over $9. Give me some shocking, some sticker shock that you guys have gotten recently on stuff that is a lot more expensive than it used to be.
I use quite a bit of extra virgin olive oil in cooking. Olive oil prices have skyrocketed. I think they've doubled in the last year to the point now you buy like an average size jar of bottle of olive oil and it's like $18.99. It's like very expensive relative to what it was a year ago. I don't know why.
