RUSH: I have to thank Herman G. Rowland Sr. Folks, it\u2019s amazing how these things work out. We have these little gift packages at Two If By Tea, the two mugs and the jelly beans, the Jelly Belly jelly beans and they\u2019re at the TwoIfByTea.com website. They\u2019re fabulous and I\u2019m getting, as I told you, great feedback. These are 14-ounce mugs and they\u2019re made in America, me as Rush Revere on the mugs and a catchy TwoIfByTea.com slogan on their side. We just contracted to get the Jelly Belly jelly beans from a jobber, I don\u2019t know who, and we got a nice note from Herman Rowland, who is the chairman of the board of the Jelly Belly candy company. They make Jelly Belly jelly beans. They\u2019re the best jelly beans out there, that\u2019s why we used \u2019em. I didn\u2019t notice they\u2019re in Fairfield, California, which is not far from my departed hometown of Sacramento. <\/p>\n

<\/a>We use red, white, and blue jelly beans, and I happened to mention that my favorite Jelly Bellies are the buttered popcorn flavor. Have you ever tasted the buttered popcorn flavor? Well, today we got a bushel of \u2019em. The Jelly Belly candy company sent stacks! We got a silo full of buttered popcorn jelly beans. I put some in there, Dawn, you should go in there when you\u2019re not hassling Snerdley about something and have some. (interruption) No, Snerdley is complaining that you\u2019re domineering in there, is all. I want to thank Herman Rowland, chairman of the board at the Jelly Belly candy company for the jelly beans. That\u2019s what it\u2019s like to be me. That\u2019s what it\u2019s like to be me. The cable company showing up in a half hour to fix the mess that hadn\u2019t worked for three weeks.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Neil in Matthews, North Carolina, I\u2019m glad you waited. Welcome to the program, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Hey, I\u2019ve got a bone to pick with you, Rush, about your Two If By Tea, specifically the unintended consequences that I have to deal with after entering your Two If By Tea promotional contest.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

CALLER: This year my wife and I couldn\u2019t afford to celebrate our 30th anniversary and my only daughter, her 13-year birthday she wanted a computer tablet. So I entered the Two If By Tea Hawaii trip contest. I figured, you know, whatever, let\u2019s see if I can win something. Well, a few days after the Two If By Tea was delivered — on time, by the way — there\u2019s the unintended consequences of entering the contest. My daughter is now hooked on raspberry Two If By Tea, and if I\u2019d let her, she\u2019d drink it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so now instead of a one-time gig, I gotta continue to buy raspberry Two If By Tea to satisfy my daughter\u2019s appetite.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. Oh, no and if I extrapolate on what you said at the beginning of the call your daughter\u2019s behavior and demands for a constant supply of tea is taking you into poverty?<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s taken me completely into poverty.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, this is a shame. Gee, what should I do about this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t know, she loves this stuff. I mean, listen, we got a case of it to enter the contest. I got I think a bottle and a half, and I think my wife got one bottle. The rest was hoarded by my daughter. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s the way kids are. I\u2019m happy to hear she likes it. I mean that\u2019s great news, but you\u2019re going into poverty.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Well, you know, these are the unintended consequences of your Two If By Tea promotional contest.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, there\u2019s always voting for Obama, you could do that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, she\u2019s a Rush Baby<\/a>. I don\u2019t think she\u2019d ever vote for Obama.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. You said she wanted a tablet computer?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, whatever that is. We got a desktop, an old desktop but she wants a tablet or something like that. So that\u2019s why I entered the contest.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Gee, you know what, and you like the tea, right?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Love it. Especially the raspberry. And I can\u2019t wait for the new flavors to come out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, God, these new flavors, you know what, we\u2019re gonna sell out of these new flavors, it isn\u2019t gonna be long. You wait \u2019til you taste these. We\u2019re not gonna be able to keep these new flavors in stock.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yep.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m waiting for Kathryn to give me the clearance on this. The new flavors are being bottled this week. I mean they\u2019re in the process of being bottled. They\u2019re at the bottling plant right now. The bottles are being filled to the brim with two new flavors. But, look, we still gotta go through the — there\u2019s federal shelf life tests. I mean you wouldn\u2019t believe the hoops to jump through to bring it to market. It won\u2019t be that long \u2019cause we did a lot of this prior to the bottling process starting. But, anyway, gosh, I\u2019m in a quandary here, I don\u2019t know what to do now. Got a guy going into poverty here buying the tea. I don\u2019t know. What am I supposed to do? Hey, Neil, Merry Christmas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
