I think 20 years ago I would've considered Ground News such an incredibly insightful and indispensable innovation (whoops, a lot of "I's" there, lol) ...since that time though, I've just not cared about watching the news---however--- I still gleen the excitement and fear and outrage from others' digestive experience. I mean, how can you not, lol? ...and it just seems really nonsensically tragic what most people consider "newsworthy". There is just so much going on in the world that doesn't really matter at all in the grand scheme of things. Things that'll be forgotten in 100 years. Things that have zero impact on the quality and manner in which we lead our lives RIGHT NOW. I think we're so focused on dramatizing the things outside our purview, that we're losing a grasp on what's going on in our own lives. It's like Plato's Allegory of the Cave....and the News is (are?) the shadows on the wall. _(although, now that I think about it, we could probably say the same about social media too, lol 😂)_

Shh Shh. The first rule of Costco is that it is *not* a cult. A hot dog for $1.50 is simply one of the certainties of life. That's all, nothing more.

The wife and I, when someone would watch the kids, would sometimes go 'on a date' to Costco, and spend $300 on a cart full of stuff. We also would go there for lunch, calling that "lunch at the club" since we've been members since it was called Price Club.

I never understood how ads are trying to wow me with how much savings I'll get and the projected savings is more than I already spend outside of Costco.

“The only certainty we have, is that a Costco hotdog remains… a buck fifty.” But lest we forget, the rotisserie chicken for a five spot is something to be remembered… and celebrated,to keep it Wholesale.

Costco is scary. I went in there once and the combination of high ceilings and oversized aisles made me want to leave as soon as I entered. I think I'm immune from the cult.

You can say its a cult, a spell or anything else, but something happens to me everytime I go into COSTCO.

Congratulations! To a new cult member I offer this wisdom: If you are hungry when you arrive, go to the food court first and get an inexpensive snack (Hot dog or Pizza slice) first (with optional drink). Eat enough to sate your hunger first before shopping to avoid impulse buying, from the temptation of free samples. You can wrap up what you don’t eat to carry with you as you shop for a snack later, and get a quick refill on your drink on the way out after your purchase.

I went in to get a gallon of milk. It cost me $300 and filled my cart with clothes, food, lightbulbs, books, and more.

Kirche is German for for church, coincidence? I think not!

So fun!! Love the twist on "religions". such a great comedic mind. Keep up the good work.

I love that her cult leader name is Xanu when Scientology has Xenu. 😂 Idk if that was an intentional roast, but I approve!

This was a really good sponsor ad, very informative and thoughtful! Its obvious you care about this. 💜 I know you mostly make content for us to giggle over but I appreciate being encouraged to think critically as well. Well done! 😎

You always crack me up, but in that first cut to you wearing the hot dog outfit, I seriously lost it. I had to pause the video just to pull myself together. Hilarious. P.S., I so wish that Costco had been your sponsor.

Diapers, tires (mounted and balanced), motor oil, jewelry, hearing aids and coffins (Yes, COFFINS!) AND hot dogs for $1.50 in perpetuity. "What a friend we have in COSTCO. All our needs if we just spend..."

I was lured in to Costco by the cheap slices of pizza...that's how it began. You don't have to have a membership to buy the pie.

Kirk, of course, means church in some germanic language or another.
