You guys need to play a game of who said it where Lindsey reads a quote and George and Rachel have to guess if its from the bible, a famous person, or Dave/other Ramsey personnel.

This was a fun episode. I wish they'd do an episode on the rise of "Buy Nothing" groups. What they think of the movement? IF they belong to one? Best item they've ever received? Personally, I love hand-me-downs, so I love my local group. I don't think I spent more than $100 on my kid during his first 4 years of life because people gave me everything - clothes, furniture, toys, shoes, etc. Today, I live in a blue collar town w/out a lot of resources and I'm still amazed at the generosity of my neighbors. It's also been fun to discover new neighborhoods, just as I pick up or deliver things to folks. I'd love to know what Rachel + George think about "Buy Nothing" movement.

We have these groups and have benefited from it SO much as well! It helps save us money and helps us declutter as well on top of being generous also! What a blessing, both ways!

Love Buy nothing Group...sent out 3 things today made 3 families happy

I got fooled by the Pasquale’s. Seemed mediocre when I ate it, but whatever. Then my wife gets home “who ordered Chuck E. Cheese” and I’m like…”uh not me, I just got pizza”. And then she showed me one of the papers with a picture of the logo on it. I was hilariously shocked.

I have never gotten the allure of delivery. I mean it is at a huge mark up with the fee and you have to microwave it to be hot. Why pay extra for that. Just make a Sandwhich or have some cereal if you do not feel like cooking. I can not believe that people spend more than 20 bucks a day to have Luke warm crap delivered for lunch instead of packing a stupid lunch.

I agree. Make your own pizza. 30 minutes. How much time to order wait and pay.

The brands you're talking about were started as independent brands and were acquired by the larger brands.

You guys are the most fun, and I love that this episode has more interactions with Producer Lyndsie!! Her reactions and responses are always the BEST! 😂

One thing I want to make sure people understand; just because two different brands come from the same company, does not mean they are the same product or quality! It felt like the ghost kitchen conversation set the tone that "it's all coming from the same factory" and several times throughout this podcast, it was implied that there would be no reason to go for the more expensive brand because they all come from the same company. That's simply not the case. One manufacturer will use different brand names to differentiate their products because they are indeed so different.

I came here to say this. A large company may own many brands, but most brands under them still operate independently from each other. They just send their profit to the same umbrella company.

I spoke to someone who worked for a large soap company at the top of the company. He listed 3 brands that had totally different perceptions and branding. He said that they were identical. He also said that his own mother didn't believe him...

These episodes get better and better! Love the food and drink part, but the info blew my mind! Thanks for keeping us in the know! You guys are awesome!

As an old professional cook, I thought the food portion of this would be about frozen food versus store made. I see certain foods in many different places that I know are made by one company in a plant and sold frozen in many restaurants, hotels, institutions , even cruise ships and overnight trains that serve food. I've seen rolls, "grilled" chicken strips, and chicken breast, danish, sandwich ribs, etc.. and just kind of laugh to myself because I know they just took this out of the freezer and heated it up! I no longer tell my extended family, I was told by one of them that I ruined their experience! My poor husband has to hear me vent!

This makes total sense… I’ve picked up orders from strange names of restaurants, and there was a note that it’s inside another restaurant. Now I understand what’s going on!

Tom's used to be called Tom's of Maine. It was bought out. Just like Bert's Bees and all the natural options of products start small and then sell to the big conglomerates.... Is Dr. Bonner's still stand alone?

This is such an awesome episode! I never expected Ramsey personalities to do something that's reminiscent of Good Mythical Morning.

Love your show!! Keep em coming!!

LOL at how Rachel was digging into those chicken wings. Hilarious. Great episode as always!!!

So interesting, loved this episode! Did not know Native wasn’t it’s own company! Now I need to look up who makes Arm&🔨

This was great. I want more of Rachel imitating Dave Ramsey! 😂

Fun fact. Old spice is aluminum free and substantially cheaper than native and made by the same company. And a delightfully mild “man” scent especially compared to axe lol. As a female that’s been using it for over a decade. Can’t stop won’t stop 😂

Not all of them actually did any cooking though.

I liked the episode, but a brand having the same parent company does not make it the same product with a different label. There is a good chance they are completely different factories. Some of the brands may have started as small privately owned brands and were later purchased by a larger corporation.

Great show as always. Definitely going to try Mexican Surfer.

I can't wait to hear what George and Rachel have to say this time!!

Can you do an episode about old school/old money financial customs? Some ideas would be how families ensure their finances are passed on. Maybe keeping estates in the family. I'm also curious if families still give dowries to husbands when marrying.

Enjoyed this episode!

So a friend of mine used to work in a cheese factory, they made cheese for all like ShopRite price, chopper all them top name, brands of stores They also made name brand,cheese!! he told me that they’re all the same the different label

They have a ghost kitchens for other restaurants too like Chick-fil-A and Cheesecake Factory etc. I’m an Uber eats driver and I found this out while picking up for these restaurants at remote locations. There usually is a long wait to pick up food but it’s one very large kitchen and they cook remotely from where you would normally find one of these restaurants.

Great episode!

So crazy about the different brands owned by the same company!!!

The key to ordering takeout is to go pick it up yourself. When they say 15 minutes... leave in enough time to get there 5 minutes early. You'll have paid by the time it comes out and be able to leave immediately. It's always hot when i get home.

I seriously love Rachel. She's very relatable!

There is so many articles on Honest being not so honest. Ton of lawsuits on their sunscreen as well.

Just ordered tapple game AND George’s book!!!

I have freedom in choosing my deodorant! I mix citric acid powder and water in a travel-sized spray bottle and put a few squirts on. Lasts about 24 hours or until the next workout. Better than anything I’ve tried ever. I keep going back to it.

@08:07 😂 George: “We got bone in for ya.”

There are also ghost kitchen that are simply menu items from other restaurants. I delivered for Door Dash and picked up an order from an existing restaurant that was cooking and producing the food for the ghost kitchen.

I wanted to build a commercial kitchen. It would have cost almost $700k! The hood vent/fire suppression system alone was $150k!!

I am allergic to most soaps, body washes, and deodorants/antiperspirants. Instead of soap, I use shampoo, which has a different PH and is a little better, but not great. At least I just have dry skin and not a huge itchy rash. Instead of deodorant I have always just added a little Zinc to my water or taken a Zinc tablet. Less sweat less bacteria and no body odor. By the way, I live in Atlanta where the summers are HOT and MUGGY, and I am fine every day. I do wash my armpits every morning just because it isn't going to last a full two days, but I have zero BO all day and a good part of the next day. By the end of day 2, I definitely need a shower, so if I don't take a shower the second day in the morning I will wash my underarms. I am looking into starting to make my own body wash and hand soap, that isn't as harsh. At least as an adult, I don't have to buy prescription soaps anymore.

I love ❤Rachel’s hair sick back!!

I love Dove too, Rachel, when I was in school, used Axe not knowing it was for men, was so strong, no wonder my roomies & men used to stay away from me those days 😂

🪓 body wash for my husband. I used 🕊️ body wash growing up because it’s all my parents would buy. It dried my skin out, haven’t gone back since. The deo’s a no go for both.

It’s episodes like this that make me laugh when they say they are money experts. Black rock being a financial institution they should understand how it works. First off aum doesn’t mean they own this assets. Second comparing gdp at aum is so dumb because they measure completely different things. It would be equivalent of saying my cash flow (income minus expenses) is $20k a year and I had a savings account that already had $10k and be like “my savings account accounted for 50% of my cash flow” which is dumb

Fun and enlightening episode!! I’m a Schmid’s girl! Can’t wear deodorants with aluminum.😊

Thanks!

I know how much George hates MLM and thinks they're all a scam. BUT - I buy my household products, skin care, makeup and some food and health products from an MLM I've been involved with for 34 years. I love their products, they're simply the best. They do their own manufacturing and R&D. They have no debt and own several million square feet of manufacturing plant and offices. They do business in over 50 countries around the world. They aren't part of the corporate domination of what we buy in stores. Their manufacturing plant has a pharmaceutical rating which means their have a much higher standard for cleanliness in making their products. I use the products because the quality is very high and they don't compromise their standards. My line item for this company is a significant dollar amount, but it's worth it.

I’m right there with you I can’t eat delivery wings and most delivery food. I need to put it in air fryer. And I believe the other one is cheaper because I didn’t give you the ranch dressing.

I use Old Spice deodorant, even though I'm a woman, because it's the only aluminum free deodorant I can find that actually works. No pink tax for me! 👵🌶️

Don't skip over Raw Sugar! One of the last brand not owned by big Corp at target. And they have great products

Dove white bar and Native blood orange and clove! Smells so good!

The thing about it being by the same company is that Schmidt is the only brand that works for me as far as natural deodorants go. The formula is what makes them different

Explain this to me. I've been eating a particular brand of gluten free pasta since shortly after my celiac diagnosis. I mostly bought it from the commissary on base. Occasionally, when they were out at the commissary, I'd buy them from Publix. Recently I've started shopping more at Walmart, and guess what? They had my GF noodles. And at a cheaper price! Pretty sweet, right? Except when I made them, they tasted different, not in a good way. I've read that Walmart pressures companies to keep prices low for their customers. I've noticed that a Coleman tent from Walmart is not the same quality as a Coleman tent from REI. What gives!? Are companies producing lower quality goods at cheaper prices for sale at discount stores like Walmart?

Guys - Good ol' Milk of Mag (blue bottle) for deodorant. Cheap, lasts forever, and you are putting magnesium in your pits vs anything else. I've used it for almost ten years. Life changing!

I’d love to see a deep dive on Black Rock. They also buy up entire new neighborhoods and rent them.

1. The Mr. Beast Burger ghost kitchen near us isn’t in a warehouse, it’s actually prepared at a Bertucci’s (not sure if you have that in Nashville). 2. On two episodes lately George has said something very emphatically that he MUST have picked up/borrowed from Rachel (No one in New England says this): “Golly!!” (Pronounced “gahhhh-LEE!!”)

It’s called Cloud Kitchen… Here in India many different cuisines get clubbed in one location similar way.

L O L I totally agree with George. Total foodie would have wanted an air fryer and definitely have a more expensive pallet.

I wish you had touched on the fact that some of those ghost kitchens are mom and pop kitchens and they dont have the overhead.

My rule is projected balance is not going to negatively bounce... I'm allowed to buy it. My mom," 😳 I'm sorry you spent how much!?" My account didn't bounce so that's all you should care about and not the price tag. My mom's 🤯 when my checking gets under $80-$200. The last time my account bounced was when the AC unit processed before my Rent years ago and the bank gave me a break. My mom will have more peace in her if she just doesn't look at my account. My budget is so fudged up right now. However everything is paid for so a budget doesn't really matter.

My preteen son got a free sample of Axe body spray and sprays it generously. His bedroom now smells like a New Jersey casino. 😂
