Heath (0:16)

I would buy Dean's cat food, that he eats like the dry and the wet. He will not touch it, if it's the one that comes from Amazon.

Same brand, same packaging, same flavors, everything. If it comes from Amazon, there's something about it, that he will completely avoid.

Remi (0:38)

There's something he knows. He knows and he's not telling us.

Heath (0:41)

Another thing that's really weird is like, they're usually like old packaged versions, like previous generations, if that makes sense. Even like Tony's diapers and stuff, like we'll buy the same diapers that we get at Target, but they'll come from Amazon and it'll be like in a different colored box, different like writing on the diaper is in like a different colored font. Like it is so weird, but they're labeled as the same one.

So I don't know if people are selling like knockoffs or what the deal is, but it's weird.

Alisha (1:16)

I don't know if it's knockoffs or just like old inventory, right?

Zane (1:20)

Maybe.

Alisha (1:21)

Yeah.

Zane (1:21)

The thing is that I feel like they wouldn't do that because if everybody knew that, then nobody would ever buy from Amazon again. I'm like, I feel like they would avoid that way.

Heath (1:31)

It's like it's from a different supplier.

Remi (1:33)

Well, like you can have a how much stuff is coming from Amazon warehouses versus like, if I buy something, is there a world where someone's shipping it out of their own house?

Heath (1:42)

I think a lot of stuff is not at the warehouse. I thought everything you'll get from the warehouse, you'll get some Amazon drivers that pull up in like a big old truck, and then sometimes I'll look outside and it's some guy in his personal car.

Zane (1:54)

Oh, I've never seen that.

Remi (1:57)

All the time, dude. I've seen that.

SPEAKER_5 (1:59)

Oh, whoa.

Heath (2:02)

That's your Postmates.

SPEAKER_5 (2:06)

Shut up.

Remi (2:07)

Oh my God, wait.

Zane (2:10)

Wait. No, when I order food, it comes in a personal car.

Remi (2:13)

It comes with this person, pulls up and leaves it on my doorstep.

Zane (2:17)

Girl, that's door does.

Remi (2:18)

Oh my gosh. You guys, happy October.

Heath (2:23)

It's fall, y'all.

Zane (2:25)

Bitch, it's leaf falling season, y'all.

Remi (2:28)

What's everybody's favorite season? Let's go around. Heath, you first.

Heath (2:33)

I got to go winter.

Remi (2:35)

And for what reason?

Heath (2:36)

I don't know. There's something about the cold, something about the energy. I feel like everybody's just usually in like better spirits. Jolly.

Yeah, jolly. And then I just I really like I like Christmas a lot. I don't know. And not that I like to like get gifts or anything like that.

Alisha (2:51)

Yeah, you like giving them. Giving them.

Remi (2:53)

I do.

Heath (2:54)

I do.

I get the people go and get the families together. It's cool. What about you?

Remi (3:01)

My favorite is fall.

I'm so happy for the brisk chill in the air. I love football. I love chili and crock pot.

Heath (3:11)

I thought you were going to say chilies.

Remi (3:13)

I do love chilies. I do love a triple dipper.

And I just love that it's starting to get cold. And then it's like the best time of the year because it goes Thanksgiving or Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, my birthday.

Zane (3:24)

What's fall? September, October. That's it.

Remi (3:26)

OK, wait, we just had to talk about this on Pretty Basic. Alisha and I have said technically fall doesn't start till September 22nd. But we think fall starts September 1st.

Zane (3:36)

Oh, in my head was halfway through August because in my head, August is like end of summer and then August around 20th. That's when fall starts.

Remi (3:44)

Oh, you're starting a month earlier.

Zane (3:47)

Yeah.

Remi (3:47)

OK.

Heath (3:48)

Boy is boiling hot.

Zane (3:50)

No, I know it's boiling hot, especially here. But like to me, it's school because winter school is back to school, which is fall because to me, winter is done in February.

Remi (4:00)

That is true.

Alisha (4:00)

To me, winter is done after Christmas.

Like, OK, it's done. I know it's not obvious.

Heath (4:06)

You're like, let's fast forward.

Alisha (4:07)

Yeah.

Remi (4:08)

What is your favorite season?

Alisha (4:09)

My favorite season is spring because usually that's my birthday. Not like I like getting gifts or anything.

But I think it's also low key, like fun things are happening in that time. I feel like a time we go on trips, like there's always something exciting happening. And I also feel like that's around the time my seasonal depression is lifted up.
