was a nice fun surprise my old pal of over 75 years Andy RoR just wandered by and we grabbed him and pulled him into the uh into the studio Andy how are you I'm good I was here stealing chips were you were you in the kitchen no but I do I do actually uh I have a four-year-old and I steal chips and put them in the console of my car so when I pick her and she's now Brant when she I pick her up then I've got you know like some the pop chips or whatever to give her and now when I don't have them she's pissed yeah she pissed you've created the uh the expectation we have a nice kitchen here at the uh Team Coco beautiful kit beautiful kitchen and um Erica Brown keeps it stocked with these nice chips I once a month we have to go over the books and they told me that we've been hemorrhaging hemorrhaging money and we isolated it yep there's a there's been a there's been a chip loss mostly uh air pops chips come and get me screws I love I love that you're stealing chips now do you do you put them under your do you just do it openly or do have you ever found yourself being kind of f about oh if anybody walks by I say I'm stealing these and then and then I put them in the you know I I have a it's like I have this console and and I have I my car is such like a mom car like I have I have uh a spoon and a fork I have a sewing kit I have Band-Aids I have uh benad dril and uh you know I have I have all and gum and mints and just all kinds of now yeah I really am I mean and it and I it's it's like my purse you know it's like it's like Mom's purse but it's the console of my car well I'm so happy you came by because uh a you know we had we had a chip built up so we needed to LEAP some of them off but I only take the ones that are not good but a four-year-old will be like yeah it's better than nothing like you're a right you is you know things like cesty Ranch pea pods and like that yeah there's a lot of healthy chip I I think either eat a chip or don't right but whenever they say no it's made of soy it's barbecue soy puff puff I think chips are like the snack industry's biggest you to America Sun Chips they're just it's like cuz they can't be good for you but they they're purportedly like they taste cardboard and weedy enough that you're like well this can't be this can't be bad for me but no they're probably just about as bad as as as L sunship makes me think they were made by the sun yes exactly they were baked in the Sun bugs landed on them well I'm glad you're here Andy because um a gentleman has wandered into the studio yes you know we have we need better security here and I'm told his name is August lint but I don't really know anything about him and I thought maybe you could help me uh find out more about this fellow uh is it August lint yeah that's right you got it right on the first try see I was guessing because you don't you don't see a lot of later hosen in this neighborhood also in this weather it's like 90° it's hot yeah but it's great because they're nice and short okay those are feel good they're a little they're a little too short yeah a little too short yeah yeah because I can I can tell your religion oh stop it that's not possible hey Sona is that you yeah where are you we're in Altadena surprised we we came by your place it was a long long drive but we got here to your house took like over an hour took like an hour like an hour and a half to get here deep conversation what do you mean I'm at the studio we're supposed to court today you're at the studio waiting for us and we're here trying to find you what a comical situation uh okay well we might as well talk about T-Mobile oh that's why cuz we just took this big trip and you can experience travel better with T-Mobile that's my transition oh I get what you're doing when it comes to staying connected while traveling T-Mobile has you covered from day trips down the road to dream trips on the other side of the globe which in my opinion is Altadena it's beautiful here it just takes a while to get here T-Mobile covers more highway miles we took a highway to get here with five G than anyone else you can uh road trip without song skips don't you hate that when you have the song skips yeah I do I can't believe you're just saying this stuff off the top of your head like that hey guess what you can get five gigabytes of high-speed data in more than 25 countries and destinations that sounds great learn more at t-mobile.com trvel and I can't believe you're there and we're here crazy what a mixup I know we're crazy with a K all right bye see you later it's not possible I think you must be teasing me but yeah this a short later August uh are you from uh Bavaria are you from Germany where are you from these are great questions I am from dorf Germany okay and what do you do sir I work I a salt inspector in the scherber Pretzel Factory and you inspect salt yes I'm the Junior I I'm actually now I'm the Junior and the senior salt inspector and what I do is I look the salt comes down a belt and I decide yeah this is good enough for a pretzel this is not good enough for a pretzel this is too good for a pretzel and that's my job I do it all day long what happens to the Salt that's too good for a pretzel that goes to like a sea salt chocolate or something like that I see I see something really fancy like now Andy are you familiar with dorf because you have German Roots I do I've never been to dorf in fact the only time I've been to a German at all was to with you yeah we did a travel show there yeah we did a travel show in Berlin and then one of my favorite segments of all time is us doing the shoe plater speak yeah speaking uh of later [Applause] hoser okay oh was one of the funniest uh I'm not supposed to say that but something I'm involved in but damn it I it it was one of the funniest things I ever just heard about now now August let's get it attention back to you because that seems to be what you want ex exactly so difficult is this how did you get this job as the pretzel salt inspector oh well I went they had auditions it's not a job interview it was like a real a high pressure audition it was we had Hasselhoff was there part of the panel of course sure and uh oh he was one of the judges yeah there was a panel of judges and then he was like let's see your salt inspecting and because the trick of it is like they really don't want you to judge the salt by taste because you know what I mean then it's going to go on a pretzel yeah it should not first be in your mouth right that's unsanitary exactly so you have to show that you can look at it and judge it that way okay I don't know why you laugh there it's not funny it's just you describing your job so you know what about after the salt's been applied to the pretzel is there an inspection process after that cuz I can imagine that that amount has to be very precise that's a whole different apartment they don't let me get anywhere near to finish pretzel why because I'm not skilled enough I don't have also to be honest with you August it sounds like maybe there was an incident sometimes I will go over to the other side of the building where the finished pretzels are and they think I'm touching too many of them and and not in the right respectful way okay well why were you over there wasn't it made clear to you that you're not supposed to go to where the finished pretzels are maybe there's a woman there that I can't get enough of oh really who is she tell us about what's her name her name is gud wait a minute is it is it Gertrude or gude it's gude oh my God and I can't get enough of just watching her okay so have you has she does she return your affections oh no I wouldn't say that but uh her she has asked me in writing to stop leaving alone okay well that's an important thing because here in this country and I hope globally there's more of a movement that if if women don't want your attention they say that and you go away absolutely yes but only sometimes I will go over and just to watch her okay well that's that's not good what what is her job what does she do like what are you watching her do she takes okay you can't believe it but she takes a a cart full of uh pretzels finish pretzels and she Wheels them from that machine over to the bagging machine right so she's just Wheeling pretzels yeah all day long but do you like is she dressed in a provocative way she's got it's like a you know like a hazmat suit type of thing oh this doesn't sound it's no but you have to see the way she wears it nobody wears a hmat suit like G okay I want to know why they don't just have a belt yeah the conveyor belt that takes the pretzels yeah to the package that's a standard thing in most fa yeah why does Gort trude have to have to take this pretzel over to her its bag you'd think they'd be a machine are you okay August I'm fine yeah no it's the nepotism okay so you think Gort gort's related to someone at the factory oh yeah yeah her name is Gort TR scherber she's part of the family she's one I hate that so let me just ask you something and this is very important to me what do you think of these American pretzels when you come to our Shores and you taste our pretzels you know that you buy at a supermarket what do you think I don't V to be like what's the word pantic or something like that but there's literally no pretzels in the United States you know what I mean like those are not pretzels yes have pretzel sure they are what are you talking about that's not a pretzel I often I'll I I'll my wife will buy a bag of pretzels and we'll eat them up you call them that but that's it doesn't qualify as a pretzel because it's not made in the right way I have toward your Pretzel factories there are no dedicated sort inspects there is nobody to wield the pretzels to the bagging area they are not made to the standards of a high quality German okay I think you're I'm sorry I think you're being a little bit of a snob here a little bit I'm trying to be 100% of a snob in favor of pretzels man hey don't get all hippie on me yeah W what is that man you know are they hard pretzels or soft pretzels that you guys make well they start out Andy soft and then you cook them and they become hard okay that's hard to process for see I just can't believe that there's that big of a difference between say a Snider Pennsylvania Dutch cry and then and then a Schneider Schneider bird whatever you can't believe does that make of a difference I can't yeah I mean a grain of Salt's a grain of salt oh my God what are you talking about all right I'm sorry there there's you have to consider the size and the shape and the opacity and uh do you wear is it like a diamond yeah I me here's my question do you use any kind of small tool like a tweezer I of course I have tweezers of various different sizes to pick up an inspect the sort and I got one of them things that are Jews to Jew Loop a loop yeah yeah we don't call it that in Germany what do you call it there's no word for it we just we just call it that thing that a jeweler puts on its glasses oh wow that's convenient for you right now sure is yeah no yeah that's a a limiting language yeah really we don't put a piece of salt on a pretzel unless it's like a 14 karat piece of Sal you know cut Clarity and carrot August I don't mean to offend you but I just always assumed that there was a machine that just spat a whole bunch of salt onto a pretzel oh you don't mean to offend me I'm sorry that's just that's the way I think it's done in your stupid country in your Pennsylvania Dutch place but at scherber pretzels a man does the spitting out of the salt okay with precision and care and training for years and hassle half approved okay well listen I'm going to have to wrap it up with you August uh I want to say this I'm always admire people and I think you'll agree Andy people that are dedicated to what they do and take it seriously absolutely even as silly as it is yeah it's important sometimes people have silly jobs no I mean it's it's silly and I don't know it just it feels like what you're doing is probably not making a difference and you're would be easily replaced by a hose or something but but at the same time but can I just tell you I know you're trying to wrap it up but they did try to replace me with a hose and it didn't go good oh didn't go good no how bad how how not good It Go was a disaster what happened there was salt all over the place you can't put salt your holes oh I didn't know I didn't know were you there when it went wrong so that you could no I had been fired okay and I was at the bottom of a bottle and then I got a phone call telling me the hose was a bust please come back okay and did you did you have kind of an attitude when you came back of course I did and I have to this day yeah like oh I hope your ho you know yeah yeah all the time I'll say well okay you can always ask the ho again stuff like that you know a hose doesn't go stare at Gertrude either yeah that's true it's gud G Gort my friend all right well August I know that and I say this with great sarcasm that you're busy man but I've only got 7 months vacation this year oh y they know how to do it socialism uh thank you August and Andy we got to do more of this this is a real treat sure thank you yeah I just I saw that you guys were having fun in here and I wasn't well you were busy stealing that's right while you were shouting yeah I'm stealing this I was oh God they're having no recording in there all right bye-bye everybody goodbye
