I suppose I'm not so much as skeptical as I don't feel clear on what
Apple Life actually is ter ripping. Apple Life is a well supplement that augments your health. Okay, all right, Johnny. Is this an MLN? If that's an acronym for many lucrative moments, then yes, No, it's multi level marketing. The word level refers to the different positions in the company.

It's a red black alert sometimes green like Okay, you got me. Of course it's apples. I love apples. They're a poem you can eat. But my understanding is me and the apples needed what it's called a rebranding to stay relevant. Uh. People don't plant orchards anymore. And nowadays, if a shoeless guy with a tin pan for a hat walks up
to someone's house, they don't welcome you to sleep inside. There, hollowed out stump. You just stare at you through one of their many, many windows. Oh no, that is ridiculous. The apple is timeless. What's a healthy yet delicious snack for your lunchbox? The apple. What is a wonderful fruit to take a big bite of while sitting under a tree on a crisp autumn day? The apple? And what do you chop up and put on a plate when you have unexpected visitors? The apple? That's right, Johnny. And
how about you. You're a legend. You planted trees and pencilvana, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and you did it all on foot. I don't even like walking from the house to the car, if I'm being honest, unless it spits on up the airport. I hear that. I suppose that is pretty cool. Oh jeez, you're making me think about why I started planning apples in the first place. It wasn't about brandy. It was all about the fruit in those days. I can't be someone I'm not. It's time to throw off this suit
and kick off these shoes. That's more like it. Did you folks know I used to be so about that apple. I was apple, I mean, able to sell what kind of apples? Someone was biting into just by hearing it, Johnny, I bet you still got it, if only we had a way to prove it, like if you had a bunch of different apples and some willing apple eaters. Minute. Hold up, Elliot's got that hatching a plan look in his eye. I am hatching a plan, B and I'll tell you all about it right after this break, Eric,

So, John do you say it used to be able to identify the type of apple just by hearing someone bite into it. That's right, Well, you've got a whole sack of apples there with you. Why don't we try it out with B as the willing apple eater? All right now, Johnny, lower that tin
pan over your beautiful hazel eyes. I'm ready. Here's be with the first bite. Mm hmm, golden delicious. Correct, next mm hmm. Now that right there, there's a gala that's two for two. Whoooo and for the last one, oh wow, oh boy, Oh, that's a real stumper right there. Um, At first I was like Granny Smith, but mm hmmmm. By the second two I was sure it was Santiago Lightning. Well,
but now I'm I'm I'm listening more. My gut is torn between Bashful Afternoon and everyone's favorite, the jelly bean hotcake. I just can't figure out that apple. Ah, you can't figure out which apple it was because it wasn't an apple at all. That's right. I've been into a pumbed to tear or apple of the earth as they say all France.
