So it's better than it sounds. Lollipop machine. Yes, yes. So that person can then become so skilled at it that when we get a giant order for lollipops, we don't panic.
it's in technology or in sales and you have to or I'm suggesting you really see it as an assumpt failure and begin to lollipop the lollipop sells for 25 cents a dollar put it into this item here and uh allow it to spin and now you can
your yield is huge, you can make this puree ahead and then freeze it, and then, you can make with it, ice cream, strawberry marshmallows, strawberry lollipops, like a bazillion things. So just keep it around in your freezer.
Like what if you fell? That lollipop could like go through the back of your soft palate in the back of your mouth and like jab you in the brain. And he was an eight-year-old boy, so of course he's fascinated.
the brain and the body and receives messages. Okay? And everything functions the lollipop? And uh if she doesn't, then the second thing, what do you do?
We're really happy to be able to bring some Lollapalooza artists into the office this week. Many of us know Lollapalooza as the festival in Chicago, but it's actually a amazing time of year that the Chicago music community kind of thrives around. So we're glad to be able to bring some of that into the office for you today.
different genres, and just knowing about all the artists from Chicago, especially the big ones like Kanye, and seeing him at Lolla and seeing like-- I think Lollapalooza is like one of the single-handed biggest influences on me, for sure. Yeah. I'd agree. Just the amount of music coming through here, in general.
Maybe around three years. Since we played Lollapalooza. Yeah. But no, yeah.
There's more support there. But for something like Lollapalooza, there is a lot of coordination, a lot of emails, a lot of scheduling that goes into bringing the show to life. So at the end of the day, I say I'm like a soundboard.
was that real? And it ended so fast. I'm sure Lolla's going to-- like our set is going to fly by so fast. But we're so excited.
Yeah. It's cool. You guys also have some really cool kind of Chicago connections happening right now in the days leading up to the Lolla set, the first of which is the really cool Fat Tiger Workshop merch collaboration that you're doing. Talk about that. Joey, I'd love to hear kind of your role in setting that up.
as it possibly can be, not just in North America, but worldwide. there's a big Lollapalooza poster from like '07 or something.
as it possibly can be, not just in North America, but worldwide. a huge stage at Lollapalooza and stuff.
I was starting to think about how to recycle things, right? And then Lollapalooza, we were fortunate enough to have Lollapalooza in our life. So I'm always looking at, all the time, things that are budding.
So they tell me. I saw rage at Lollapalooza three.
We look at volunteer activities, frequency of contact with family, frequency of contact with neighbors. That is a dopamine lollipop.
However, one evening in March, as I sat on the consignment store couch I'd insisted on bringing into spruce up the place, and Tristan lolled on the rug beside a low table with a beer, each of us bleary-eyed from reading, I encountered a passage in an obscure booklet entitled, "Arresting and Alluring Astronomical Anecdotes," published in 1897.
we establish a real expert in one area of candy-making. So one person makes lollipops. And because that person does it over, and over, and over again, then they turn into this like human machine, which is what I'm aiming for.
You'll see. We do it all very, very by hand. So that is-- Strawberry lollipops. Yes, strawberry lollipops. Using the same strawberry puree?
And what else you can make is candy, lollipops. So the strawberry lollipop is beautiful, because we didn't really strain any of the seeds out of the puree so that you can see them when you hold it up to the light.
you hold it up to the light. You have the blackberry lollipops now. So you can kind of get the feel for what I'm talking about.
But one is like, oh I really liked being a crystal. But the lollipops, say, on page 118, are more organic in shape because those have just been poured out on a mat.
But one is like, oh I really liked being a crystal. Are the lollipops too sticky to just do it directly on the parchment paper?
But one is like, oh I really liked being a crystal. And then every lollipop you make after that always comes out.
that, he played this song um just to just to get me excited about his album. It was called a lollipop. It hadn't come out. Released. It wasn't released. There were speakers in the studio the size of this thing. Yeah. He jumped and back flipped and climbed on and it put literally a show for me. And I'm
And I had to sit on the desk. Soundgarden at Lollapalooza '92.
And she said, I tried to teach all of you kids and treat all of you kids exactly the same, which meant that if one of us got a lollipop, then all of us had to share it. I'm just kidding. I don't advise that to any parent.
Carlo, the Pontiac Monte Carlo. And at that time, the big siren of the screen was Gina Lollobrigida. So they decided to do three very attractive look-a-likes for that. So that gives you a little overview of Sirens of Chrome. And do you have any questions about cars?
important yeah you know I wrote a book at five in the morning when everybody else in my house is sleeping and I think i lolled myself into this idea that I was just writing for myself so then when people started to read it saying oh you're so brave I said to my husband what did I
Yeah. For sure. Yeah. And you guys are playing Lollapalooza this year, but you've played Lollapalooza previously, correct, years back? 2016. 2016, yeah. So you're playing, I assume, on a larger stage this year?
I want to run through some of these highlights and just get everybody's thoughts. We talked a little bit about Lollapalooza, but how does it feel to be coming home for Lollapalooza 2019 playing this weekend? It's amazing. It always feels unreal.
We look at volunteer activities, frequency of contact with family, frequency of contact with neighbors. She looked at that dopamine lollipop you gave yourselves when you saw the Gerber baby, if you did.
We use induction cooktops and six human beings. And we make $20,000 lollipops in four days, like one person can do that, because how we run production is we don't let anyone, A, have a choice over what candy they make, which is terrible.
We can handle this. We will make your 35,000 lollipops in two weeks with one person doing it, which is amazing. But we can do it.
But one is like, oh I really liked being a crystal. If you're going to pour your lollipops out on a Silpat, Jami was saying you can draw circles on parchment the size
But one is like, oh I really liked being a crystal. So just make sure the lollipop size you're making sort of matches the cellophane that you're going to use.
But one is like, oh I really liked being a crystal. The funny thing about a lollipop mold is the first time-- you buy a mold like this, you get it on the internet.
There's another one called the Thermal Pop. It looks like a little lollipop. It costs $30. And it takes five seconds to read.
And it's going to be like lollipop, where you can turn the camera 360 degrees.
And I had to sit on the desk. And for not the first year of Lollapalooza, but the next five or six years, I went to the opening of Lollapalooza
That's including the two lollipops.
the brain and the body and receives messages. Okay? And everything functions with your mother and you want a lollipop and she says, "No, I I'm not going to do that because you got one yesterday."
We're really happy to be able to bring some Lollapalooza artists into the office this week. Many of us know Lollapalooza as the festival in Chicago, but it's actually a amazing time of year that the Chicago music community kind of thrives around.
It runs Wednesday through Friday. Some of the pieces will be available on sale at Lollapalooza and also the metro afterparty. And then we're selling leftovers online next week.
It's just magic. Thank you. I love technology. Lollapalooza began the same year as the internet, really in 199--
You've got Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, both here in the United States and abroad, Glastonbury, Electric Picnic.
Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Electric Forest.
The woman at the reception desk is licking this lollipop in a salacious way.
But you can use a glass measuring cup instead of this. And I'll show you when we get to the lollipop part. So it's not this huge investment in a ton of equipment that you only use for candy-making.
So we sold it at the counters of the bakery. And then the next candy that I made was a lollipop, which we're going to make next. And the idea of taking something that is a liquid and transforming it into something that holds up on a stick, I was like, I'm a wizard, because I
