0:18.6

stuff, all of this is going to impact it. And to Chris, to Chris's point on Twitter, the greater Chris, he said, you know,

0:26.6

olive oil, which we needed to get the lice out of the kid's hair.

0:30.5

He said, uh-oh, how does olive oil get here from Italy?

0:33.8

Truck, right? Stop looking at me like that. It's a truck, right?

0:37.8

But obviously, duck workers. So I'm here and already panic buying as the dock workers are on strike and people are already going into stores and I'm sure if you've if you've seen this would you let me know call up at 855 8391210 if you've seen this, would you let me know call up at 855, 839, 12, 10.

It's not affecting the West Coast.

1:26.2

It's the East Coast down to the Gulf of Mexico.

1:30.0

But I mean that's a lot of things a lot of things and so these the option then is they

1:38.2

could go through the Panama Canal and go up to the West Coast but that's going to be a lot more expensive

1:44.5
