Wanna do some grocery shopping, I'm a Wegner's.
And my wife wants some vegetables for crudités, right?
So, here's a broccoli, that's two bucks.
About a ton of broccoli there.
There's some asparagus, that's $4.
Carrots, that's four more dollars.
That's $10 of vegetables there.
And then we need some guacamole, that's $4 more.
And she loves salsa.
Yeah, salsa there, $6, must be a shortage of salsa.
Guys, that's $20 for crudités, and this doesn't include the tequila.
I mean, that's outrageous.
And we got Joe Biden to thank for this.
>> Thanks Biden.
Now I can't even have my vegetable plate with my tequila.
Now, Dr Oz thought that that little stunt might help his campaign.
But in the end, the crudités video ended up helping John Fetterman.
Because immediately after he put that out,
Fetterman went on to collect a whopping $500,000.
John Fetterman said in campaign said it reaped a $500,000
fundraising windfall in just 24 hours after the notorious crudités video.
>> You know Woz, many people might not know this, but you,
you not only love food, your little fancy with your food.
>> [LAUGH] >> So I'm curious.
Did you know what a crudités is?
>> I did not, I had no idea what that was.
That's not something that I'm eating on a regular basis.
But, again, I figured it's got a lots of vegetables involved.
>> And so, >> It's just a vegetable plate.
>> That's probably why I'm not familiar with it.
I'm a bit of a carnivore in that way.
>> And so, that's why I'm not too familiar with that food spread.
>> I hear you.
It could include all the ingredients that he had mentioned in that clownish video.
Also, baby corn, baby corn is part of the mix sometimes.
And I'm a big fan of baby corn, delicious.
>> Don't know how much [CROSSTALK] >> I've probably had baby corn.
>> Yeah, let's go to the next graphic here.
Because the campaign, Fetterman's campaign,
has raked in $11 million in the previous fundraising quarter.
Fetterman's communication director said, and $500,000 in one day is a nice bump.
Okay, so that kind of puts the half a mil in perspective.
And the campaign release states that the campaign raised more than
$65,000 from a sticker Fetterman offered in exchange for donations.
And this is what the sticker looks like, we shared it with you yesterday.
It was tweeted by ActBlue.
To honor Dr Oz's love for crudités, and Wegners (and also because it's my
birthday) we're launching this NEW limited edition sticker.
Make a donation of any amount + it's all yours.
And it's just says, Wegners let them eat crudité, smart.
The thing I appreciate about him is how savvy
he is when it comes to meme culture or how to troll.
Because the days of earnest politicking or campaigning I think,
at least temporarily are over, right?
The way you kind of get one up over your political opponent is by trolling them or
dunking on them.
[LAUGH] And it's just Fetterman caught onto that and
does a pretty good job with it.
>> And I gotta say what I'm most impressed with is the consistency of the messaging.
And it's like basically this guy is some foofie fancy pants dude who's parachuting.
And he is nothing like you, he has nothing in common with you, and
does not give a damn about the things that are concerning you in your everyday life.
And they're using these moments to bang that home.
>> This dude is literally doesn't know how to grocery shop.
>> I know [LAUGH] >> He literally has no idea how to shop,
right?
And so that's what I'm most proud of man, I'm with the Fetterman campaign.
I wasn't paying attention to his campaign, I wasn't that locked in.
And in fact, Anna, you're the one who put me on to what he's been doing.
The shouts of my man Mike from PA.
It's been really cool to watch how these guys have delivered a consistent message.
>> And it's that meat and potato stuff that we talk about frankly all
the time when we're talking about this stuff, Anna.
>> 1,000%, and after the giant number of Americans just clowning on
Oz over that video, where you're right, it's clear he doesn't know how to shop.
He went on Newsmax to say, I was just joking about the crudité, just kidding.
>> [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH]
>> Just sure, I'm sure,
I'm sure you're kidding about that.
>> Anyway, maybe we'll show that video in the bonus episode for

>> What I joke about a crudité, which is a way of speaking about how ridiculous it is
that you can't even put vegetables on a plate in the middle of a campaign.
We'll do whatever we need to do to make sure the people of Pennsylvania respect
what we're about.
And then we're gonna work as hard as we can to fix their problems.
It's what I've done my whole life, it's what I'll continue to do.
I challenge my opponent.
What have you done rolling your sleeves up in your own life to make life better for
the people of Pennsylvania?
And now I think if the voters when they do look at on November the 8th, you're gonna
answer one basic question, are we happy with where the country is headed?
And I think for most people, the answer is no, which is why I'm the choice.
I'm the man for change.
>> I'm the person who put us on the right track and address many of the challenges,
cost of living, crime, and our schools that afflicts so many Pennsylvanians.
>> And I mean to fixate on it.
But just for those watching in Pennsylvania,
you know how particular many people are about their groceries.
What happened with Wegmans and Wegmans?
Can you explain that to them?
>> Yeah, I was exhausted.
[LAUGH] When you're campaigning 18 hours a day, I've got my kids names wrong as well.
>> Or maybe you're just not from Pennsylvania, and everyone knows it.
And so you mispronounced the grocery store's name, that's okay.
It's just the truth but, he doesn't wanna own up to it.
I don't know man, this guy, I have a theory on why Oz is so out of touch.
And it's not just that he's fabulously wealthy, it's because he
existed in this daytime television ecosystem where everyone is out of touch.
Because everyone else is working, you know what I mean?
They're trying to survive.
And these guys are like, [LAUGH] let's do some cooking on the show.
This is a cookbook and Rachel Ray comes in, which she's lovely.
No hate for Rachel Ray lover, comes in, make some pasta.
They don't exist in the real world, okay?
Normal people don't have the luxury of freaking making pasta in the middle of
the day.
They gotta feed their kids.
They're off to their third job of the day.
These people are super out of touch.
So you said crudité cuz that's how you talk.
You don't call a vegetable plate a crudité,
you refuse to call it a vegetable plate.
That's just not in their way of talking, they're fancy people doing fancy things.
But, he's just not right for the people of Pennsylvania or the country.
>> Yeah, just the way that he tried to legitimize and say, no,
I'm gonna care about the real issues etc, as if those two things aren't connected.
>> How can you know or understand what actually matters to these
people in a way that's intimate, right?
Understanding what it means to these folks to put food on the table literally,
make sure their kids are looked after and get a decent education.
How could you even know that if you're just not intimate with these issues?
It's not stuff that concerns you.
So, it's a joke.
This is just a vanity play.
And God knows, only knows,
how much money is actually in being in the US Senate these days.
There's no way to know, you know what I mean?
The kind of connections, and the kind of secondary corruption and
bribes you can take part in by being in the senate.
Cuz like I can't understand any other reason
to do this if you already got as much paper as this dude.
>> Yeah, no, I really don't, you're right.
I don't get it, I really don't.
Because I would understand it, let's say, okay, you're wealthy or
whatever, but you see that things are broken in our system.
>> And we had some kind of pet issue, right?
>> Exactly.
>> You're a psychopath like Peter Thiel who's obsessed with libertarianism.
And you're like, you know what, we're gonna deregulate this place into oblivion.
And like, all right,
at least there's something you're chasing even if it's ghoulish and evil.
What is this dude chasing?
What does he want?
[LAUGH] What's the change that he wants to be in the world?
I don't understand this.
>> This is a little bit of inside stuff, but whatever, I'll talk about it.
A few years ago, several years ago, definitely way before the pandemic
happened, Jake and I went to Portugal for some media conference.
And Dr Oz was there.
And Dr Oz had performed surgery on Jake's uncle a long time ago,
so they kind of know each other.
I don't really remember how this all went down, but
I do remember he asked to meet with us while we were at the conference.
And I was like, okay.
So we meet him in the middle of the day for coffee.
And what really stood out to me, and I'm just speaking for myself,
he seemed pretty desperate in wanting to remain relevant.
Because his Oprah stuff was over, his daytime stuff was wrapping up, and
he noticed that digital media was at that time especially doing really well.
And he's like, I gotta make the transition to traditional media.
So he was trying to pick our brains and trying to figure out how he
could basically use us to make his entrance into digital media,
which we really should have helped him out.
Imagine the amazing content that, that guy would produce, it'd be amazing.
I would love it, just completely embarrassing himself on a daily basis.
But yeah, that's the thing that stands out to me about Dr Oz.
Once people, especially public figures who get nationwide
attention the way Dr Oz did, they don't ever wanna be demoted.
They don't know when to stop.
I mean you see it with politicians too like Rudy Giuliani.
>> Rudy Giuliani, not a politician that I really favored ever even when
he wasn't absolutely insane,- >> But
one of the greatest egomaniacs of all time.
>> [LAUGH] That dude. >> They don't know when to stop.
>> Yeah, he just can't, he is addicted to be in the center of attention.
You had your run as the guy who quote unquote, cleaned up New York, whatever.
America's mayor [LAUGH] flamed out horribly trying to run for president.
Cuz the republicans were just like, this New York,
this yankee, that was never gonna happen for you.
>> [LAUGH] >> And then he was able
to glom on with Trump who has been homies with for decades.
>> Yeah. >> But it's just thirst to be
around the spotlight.
>> Thirst, yes.
>> They're people who don't wanna be around their kids, their grandkids.
>> I don't know, I don't get this type of stuff.
