accident. i think, you know. the lack of care and maintenance of yeah, he's extremely tall. effectively by caltrans is, you know. have they done what they should have done for years and years and years. might not have happened for sure they are problematic trees, especially when they get to be extremely large as they have, burlingame says plans have been in the worst with caltrans for the past five years to replace the eucalyptus trees and improve the stretch of el camino real project will be north of $100 million. the city will contribute to bringing the electric utilities underground. it will be a complete renewal of the roadway, including drainage and sidewalks. back to infantino , she says she's just grateful for other changes that could be happening really soon to remove certain eucalyptus trees by her home. we've seen obviously first

these sneakers are from dolce and gabbana course they are $1200 apiece. of course they do. italian fashion house describes these shoes as iconic style meets the diverse they only come in black and they feature a chunky rubber soul. this says julian glover written all over it. that's that's what i see right there. i don't know i wouldn't wear them. but if i did, i would make them fashion. would you wear these? karina? they look silly. i can see why your face it looks like you wouldn't no. and if i saw somebody wearing them, i would just question their judgment on everything in life $1200 for that. you know, i don't get it. i think you could spend $1200 on way better shoes are probably i don't know. 50 pairs of shoes at that. wow karina, i think you both can make those shoes look good, no matter what now, larry , on the other hand, no so quick question. which would you rather have those shoes we just showed, or the big red rubber boots that the rubber band they're both

terrible. they're both bad. sell for way too much money. it's crazy. yes. wow. well, of course it is that time of the year again. time for those girl scout cookies, you can finally get your fix. the cookie sales are underway, but don't get your hopes up because the new raspberry rally cookies already sold out. but the other favorites are still available right here in the bay area, and, of course, since it is tasty thursday, we've got some samples here. yeah and the samples are now all over me because i know i didn't know some of them during the commercial save made the save. joining us now is the ceo of, uh, the girl scouts of northern california. the ceo is with us, bri. this. these look fantastic we were, you know, trying to resist the temptation just dive into the commercial break. but what are your favorites this year? oh, we can't hear brie right now. starting off on a good note. my favorite since i sold girl scout

cookies myself as a girl scout in the eighties have always been the dough. see, does you know, it's like the sleeper cookie, but you've got to put them in some milk. let it marinate. scoop it out with a spoon. don't knock it till you try it. that's my favorite marinate. i like that the inside make them extra good. do you have a number one selling cookie? we know the raspberry rally the new one that everyone's trying to get their hands on. it sold out so what's the number two? i guess it's got to be thin mints, right? it is 10 minutes. you're absolutely right. the fan favorite by and large, it continues to be the number one. i think for decades now, for sure. so bree question here because i know the pandemic obviously was impactful and both of my daughters we used to take him around door to door and bring it to the newsroom and everything. but you kind of changed your approach, and i know that people can get them online now, but what's the recommended way to swiftly get these fantastic cookies? well,

the good the good news is our girl scout entrepreneurs are changing with the times and pivoting like all good small business owners so you can get them online. i love cookies .org and find one of our girl scouts digital pages where they have great videos. they talk about the goals for their troops and how they're trying to save and earn money for that you can. also through that same website. i love cookies .org. find a local troop where you can have a girl that lives nearby with a trusted adult. deliver them hand deliver them. that's great, too, because then you get to learn all about the goals that the girls have set for themselves and what they plan to do with the proceeds from the cookie sale. and then starting march 20th. you will see 12,000 plus girl scouts out and masks not only pulling the wagon around the neighborhood like larry described which i did myself, which i will be doing with my daughter as well but out in front of grocery stores and coffee shops, setting up their roots. and we have four million boxes of cookies in northern california that these girls are

out there anxious to sell. what are they going for these days? there's $6 a box go to a great cause because i remember selling girl scout cookies and brie can you talk about you know where that money is going to go for the girls that are selling them because they do some great things with the proceeds. you know, the best part of my job is looking and listening and hearing from the girls about their big plans and dreams and goals and all the things that they do with this, so you're absolutely right. the great part of the proceeds of this is that it stays local, so some troops have trips planned. helps pay for girl scout campus. incredible learning experience. they reinvest that money and learning opportunities. chicken tin you to grow and have that personal growth opportunity. another um, benefit to that to the community as they invest in community service projects. so, for example, there are troops that gather together and put together here packets for

children and the children's hospitals or to invest in, uh certain environmental efforts to take care of the bay. so all of that really stays local, and, frankly, on top of being delicious. it's another way for our customers to give back. outside of that first. absolutely yeah. i can't believe everybody has been so restrained. we're going to dive in during the commercial break. brief. thanks so much. three ceo of girl scouts of northern california. go get your thin mints, everybody all right around to end of april. you gotta get them before they're gone. all right. that's it for the fourth four. thanks so much for joining us. we'll be right back. and umbrellas like roadside assistance quality matters. so
