And as 103 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 3: always what I do is I try to find I 104 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: love frosting on cookies. So I tried to find a 105 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: snicker doodle recipe with frosting, and I found like a 106 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: dupe of again the crumble snicker doodle cookie, which is 107 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: the crumbles, like the five dollars a cookie thing that's say, 108 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: it's insane. So I found this recipe. I searched all 109 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 3: over the dark web. I found this great recipe, and 110 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: so I proceeded to then make said cookie dough. And 111 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: as I was making the cookie dough, things were going, 112 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 3: you know, swimmingly, they were, they were they were going Okay. 113 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 3: I made that though, and then my wife. She loves 114 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 3: the oatmeal raisin cookies. So then I was like, all right, 115 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: well I'll make some oatmeal raisin cookies. 116 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: And what an amazing life I'm living. 117 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: So then I'm making the oatmeal raisin, which is a 118 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: lot of lot of ingredients and you know, whatever, it's 119 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 3: it's it's I don't even usually like oatmeal raisin, but 120 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: these I like because they taste. They don't taste like 121 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 3: your normal oatmeal raisin. So I make the I'm making 122 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: the dough and I use a kitchen aid mixer to 123 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 3: help me bring everything together. Put all the ingredients in there. 124 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: It's really simple. 125 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,559 Speaker 1: So I'm using the kitchen aid mixer. 126 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 3: I am across the kitchen on the island and I 127 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: am preparing some other ingredients and I hear this sound 128 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 3: like it's like a factory of like metal crunching into metal, 129 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: and I'm like, what. 130 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: You know, what is pot? What is going on? Makes 131 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: no sense? 132 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 5: You know? 133 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: What the hell. 134 00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: Is? 135 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: That a bad word? 136 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: So I don't want to I don't want to offense 137 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: or scratch off in Arkansas because he says I curse 138 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: a lot on this podcast. I don't want to offense 139 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: or scratches anyway. So I turn around and much to 140 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 3: my dismay, the dough that was being made for the 141 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 3: oatmeal raisin cookies after I'd made the snicker Do cookies. 142 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,119 Speaker 3: The mixer has now completely stopped, and I'm like trying. 143 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: I felt like there was like a polter geist or 144 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 3: something that had happened, because I was not even watching 145 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 3: what happened. I was like, how could I didn't put 146 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: anything in there? I say, well, maybe I put to 147 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: accidentally put a fork in the mixer, or I tossed 148 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 3: a knife in there, And I'm like. 149 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: No, I wasn't even there. 150 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: I was on the I was across the kitchen preparing 151 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 3: some other nonsense. So I obviously I turned. I unplugged 152 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: the thing, and I investigate. I use the Mallard think tank. 153 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: I go in there and I'm investigating and what had happened. 154 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: I don't know if you have have you ever seen 155 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 3: like a kitchen aid mixer, You guys have one, but 156 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: the very top there's this like there's this little metal 157 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: thing which you have to twist on and off. I 158 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 3: guess my wife told me you use it for attachments. Okay, okay, 159 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: So I never even bothered to worry about it. So 160 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: this mixer was going so crazy that it was it 161 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 3: was gyrating back and forth, and in that gyration it 162 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 3: was like Richard Simmons, you know, Shaken to the oldies 163 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: or damn whatever the old the infomercial from the back 164 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 3: in the in the nineties. So the thing came on 165 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 3: the the metal piece fell off, falls into the batter, unhinged. 166 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: It came unhinged, falls in and boom. Immediately the whole 167 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: thing stops working.

If 360 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 3: there's too much cookie dough, it's a problem. If there's 361 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: too much ice cream not enough cookie dough, there's a problem. 362 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 3: But James, you have not had the right mix of 363 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 3: cookie dough ice cream.

You have to grow, and you 471 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 3: have to expand, and you have to take quantum leaps 472 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 3: in life sometimes. And right now I'm a Denver Nuggets fan, 473 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 3: and hopefully I'll continue to be a Nuggets fan. But 474 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 3: maybe next week I'll be a Heat fan or a 475 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 3: Celtic fan.
