1 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to save our production for I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm Any and I'm Lauren Fogelbaum. And today we're talking 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: about milkshakes. Yes, yes, and this is mostly because we 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: were discussing what our comfort foods are, and for me, 5 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: milkshakes specifically, chocolate milkshakes are like number one. Oh all right, yeah, 6 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: And I mean it's probably pretty obvious why we're talking 7 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: about comfort foods as we once again come to you 8 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: from our home studios a k our Closets Skype. We 9 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: got a cat involved today. Gonna be real interesting. We're 10 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: gonna look fast and loose. Yeah yeah, great. Cat is 11 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: sitting in on the session. He is judging us all actively. 12 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: So I love the cat judgment. It just makes my 13 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: work all the better because I feel like I've really 14 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: gotta gotta bring it home well, good, good, because that's 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: what we're getting great. So yeah, chocolate milkshakes are one 16 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: of my ultimate comfort foods and I rarely, rarely resort 17 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: to them. They're sort of my nuclear option if I 18 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: had a hierarchy of comfort foods. They're like, oh god, 19 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: she's got a chocolate milk shake. Um, and I have 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: one tiny thing of chocolate ice cream that one of 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: my friends left at my apartment forever go that I'm 22 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: waiting until things get more dire for me, goes on, Okay, 23 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: it's there, it's there if you need it, but you 24 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: don't want to pull that trigger yet. I see no. Also, 25 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: I have no milk, so there's that issue. I'm sure 26 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: I would find a way, but it probably the result 27 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: would not be good. Um. But one of the reasons 28 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite comfort foods. I think I 29 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: talked about it in our Nostalgic Foods episode, UM, is 30 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: that when I was little, if I was sad or sick, 31 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: my mom would get just like two or three scoops 32 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: of Briars pocolate ice cream and she put him in 33 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: a cup. She'd fill it almost at the top with 34 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: two percent milk, hand mix it with a spoon, and 35 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: that was it. And it wasn't super amazing um as 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 1: far as milkshakesca Usually it was a bit chunky, with 37 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: like those ice crystals, you know, But it was always 38 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: special and it always made me feel better. Relevant to 39 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: uh self, quarantining, I think I've said before I've been 40 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: quarantined a more than once. I think the technical term 41 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: is isolated. I'm not sure anyway. Well, yeah, I can't 42 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: tell you about previous iterations, but go ahead. Yeah. Yes, 43 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: So I had swine flu when I was in college, 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: and I was so sick that food was the last 45 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 1: thing on my mind. But when I finally started feeling better, 46 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: I remember it was Halloween Day. I emerged from my 47 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: teeny tiny room in our six person dorm with my 48 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: my medical gloves and mask on, made a box of 49 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: Kraft mac and cheese and a chocolate milkshake. Those are 50 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: my to go to I. You know, as we were 51 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: talking about this, I was trying to come up with 52 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: my list of comfort foods and I was like, this 53 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: is weird, Like this is like it's it's like grilled 54 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: cheese and then like vindaloo. And I'm like I'm not 55 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: sure where, where and how this occurred, but ye, milkshakes 56 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: are not on there for me. Uh. I did go 57 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: through a pretty intense milkshake phase in college. Like part 58 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: of my weekly routine involved after going to like an 59 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: eighties dance night, uh, coming coming back and getting like 60 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: a vanilla milkshake from water Burger and sipping on it 61 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: while we played Halo at my friend's house. So that 62 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: is college. If I've ever heard a college story, that 63 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: is one. Yep, yep. But yeah, now these these days, 64 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: I like, I do love a milkshake, but man, they 65 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: don't love me. They do not love me. I should 66 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: not have that much dairy all. At the same time, honestly, 67 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: the idea of drinking one kind of makes me a 68 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: little queasy because they're so sweet, and I can't handle 69 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: that much sugar really, and I don't know I can 70 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: have like a tiny one, but whole whole Yeah, oh yeah, 71 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: I mean I certain that that's one of the reasons 72 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: they're so rare that I resort to them. But I 73 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: have had so many amazing milkshakes in my life. I've 74 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: also had my fair share of freak shakes, which we're 75 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: going to talk about a little bit later. Freak freak shake, 76 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: freak Shake, freak freak shake. Yeah, you're looking for an 77 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: Instagram hole. That is my recommendation for today. Flip Burger 78 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: from Richard Blaze has some really good creative milkshakes. Um 79 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: Crispy cream Nutella has like a toasted marshmallow I believe 80 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: on top, and a fuig raw milkshake and they do 81 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: theirs I believe with that with liquid nitrogen instead of yeah, 82 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: so it's it's an interesting process indeed. Um oh and us. 83 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: Speaking of Richard Blaze, Yeah, food Court debuted the new 84 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: podcast that I think we mentioned previously. It's it's called 85 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: food Court with Richard Blaze, and he is the judge 86 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: in such important decisions as uh fries crispy versus saggy, 87 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: or pineapple on pizza yes versus no, or blue cheese 88 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: versus Ranch. Those are those are the three we have 89 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: waited in. We've in on that one absolutely. Yeah, yeah, 90 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: you can see our episode on Ranch about that or wings. 91 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: I think both. I think we talked about it in both. 92 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,239 Speaker 1: We have very strong fit well, I have very strong 93 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: opinion and Lauren is kind and lets me voice it. U. 94 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: The first thing I had when I got back from 95 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: living in China actually wuhan um I was there for 96 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: almost a year. The first thing I went to the 97 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: place I went to with steak and shake and I 98 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: had a dark chocolate milkshake and those like crispy thin 99 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: steak fries. Me. It was like four in the morning 100 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: and one of the only things opened. So I don't 101 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: really regret it. I'm not ashamed of it? Is it 102 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: the best place I could have gone from my first meal? 103 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: But I liked it. Oh hey, hey, as long as 104 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: long as you're having a nice time. And I mean, furthermore, 105 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: I don't think that there's anything truly more American then 106 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: very American first at four in the morning and getting 107 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: fries in a milkshake. Yeah. Uh, there's a National Milkshake Day. 108 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: It is August one, um, but National Chocolate Milkshake Day 109 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: is September twelve, and National Vanilla Milkshake Day is June, 110 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: and National Coffee Milkshake Day is July. So a lot 111 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: of opportunities to celebrate. Yeah. Yeah, And those are only 112 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: the four that I found. I you know, I'm not 113 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm not others could be out there. I definitely believe 114 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: there's at least a strawberry amount of shape day. You know, 115 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: I would hope, so I would. I would certainly hope. 116 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: So maybe a listener can write in and let us know, 117 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: or maybe we can start it, Like I don't know 118 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: what the rules are, what are the parameters? Can't we 119 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: just say hey, I let go. I think that for 120 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: it to be official, we have to like write our 121 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: senator or something like that, and I feel like they're 122 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: trying to do more important things right now, or should 123 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: be trying to do more important things. Anyway, that's a 124 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: separate conversation, friends, that is. But speaking of if you're 125 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: looking for a separate conversation related to what we're talking 126 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: about today, you can see our Sunday episode for our 127 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: very silly Law and Order take on who invented the 128 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: Sunday And also relevant is our sad episode. All that 129 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: stuff comes up in here. Yes, absolutely, And uh, I 130 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: guess we should point out that we're not really talking 131 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: about ice cream to day, just about milkshakes, because ice cream, hoof, 132 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: that's a that's a large separate topic. It is, and 133 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: it's a fascinating one, and I can't wait to return 134 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: to it. But today, but today this brings us to 135 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: our question milkshakes. What are they? Well, Uh, milkshake is 136 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: a dessert drink treat. It's a vaguely drinkable ice cream. 137 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: It's it's slightly liquefied ice cream or largely frozen milk 138 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: plus flavorings that you can sip through a straw. Um, 139 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: although exactly how like liquefied and or frozen it's meant 140 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: to be upon serving is a matter of some debate, 141 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: like should you be able to drink it? Should you 142 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: need to use a spoon? Should it be able to 143 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: stay in its cup? If you turn the whole cup 144 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: upside down? I don't know. I don't have an opinion 145 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: about this one. I do, but I I don't really 146 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: care too much to voice it. Oh no, no, I'm 147 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: curious which which one do you prefer? Oh? I feel 148 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: like if if you need a spoon and that's not 149 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: a milkshake, that's like kind of a soft serve ice 150 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,359 Speaker 1: cream situation to like, I think I could be convinced, 151 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. Um, but in my mind it's 152 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: milkshake is more of a drinking sort of thing. Yeah, yeah, 153 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: I would agree with you, but I suppose that even 154 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: like I mean, if you need a spoon to start with, 155 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: but then you can move to a star. Oh, yeah, 156 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: you're right, you know? Yeah, I don't know. At any rate. Um, 157 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: blenders are used to achieve this range of textures. You 158 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: traditionally start with a ice cream and milk and whatever 159 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: other flavorings you want to add in, and use an 160 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: electric blender to to break down the structure of the 161 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: ice cream and to whip in a bit of extra air. Um. 162 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: Some fast food places will conversely start with like a 163 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: flavored thickened mix of milk and stuff and and simultaneously 164 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: blend and chill it into a similar consistency is reached, 165 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: then going the other way. Um. Some recipes for either 166 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: we'll add ice for texture in or to like fill 167 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: out the shake of it, and those flavorings can be anything, yes, 168 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: but no matter what they are made with. Milkshakes are 169 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: often topped with whipped cream, sometimes other stuff as well, 170 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: frequently like ice cream toppings like syrups, are crushed candy 171 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: and the result is a thick, cold, creamy, hypothetically drinkable confection, 172 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: and the flavor possibilities are endless. Cook out. The fast 173 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: food chain has at least forty flavors on the menu, 174 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: and that this is a Southern fast food chain. If 175 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: y'all haven't heard of it, like you can see one 176 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: from our office. We're we're pretty spoiled on tasty, local 177 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: ish fast food of they are famous for their milkshakes 178 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: and however, the the Guinness record for the most milkshakes 179 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: on a menu is two and seven and what that's 180 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: from this restaurant in Cape Town, South Africa, Gibson's Gourmet 181 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: Burgers and Ribs. Oh why did I not go there 182 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: when I was a gate Maybe they were closed, it 183 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: was New Year's Oh that's true. Everything that's unfortunately. Um, 184 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: and this brings back the malt versus non malt debate. 185 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah, I don't, Like I said, I don't 186 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: think I've ever had a malted milkshake or a malt 187 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: as they're sometimes called. And this is why we need 188 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: Kyle with the motorcycle. Where are you? I hope you're 189 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: staying in and staying safe, But if you can weigh 190 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: in on this debate, you had so much knowledge around it. Uh, yeah, 191 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: we we've We've got a little bit more on malted 192 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: milk later. But I will say that that malt is 193 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: one of my favorite milkshake flavors. I guess it probably 194 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: wasn't a plain vanilla. It was probably a malted vanilla 195 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: milkshake that I was having at that water Burger weekly experience, 196 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: that weekly water Burger experience. So jeez, um. Oh college, 197 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: and let's speaking of let's talk about the nutrition. Because 198 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: my friend's dad used to always say, back when I 199 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: was in high school, he would always say to us, 200 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: you have to run ten miles to cans that one 201 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: Chick fil a milkshake. You know that that really depends 202 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: that That is a that is a subjective statement because 203 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: according to Chick fil A's nutrition information there shakes run 204 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: between five hundred and seven hundred and fifty calories per shake. Uh, 205 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: and the average human person will burn not according to 206 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: Chick fil A, this is according to other humans. Um uh. 207 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: I mean they might have said it to I don't know. Anyway, 208 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: they'll they'll burn between eighty and a hundred and forty 209 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: cow leries per mile run. So if you get Chick 210 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: fil A's most cloric shake and are on the low 211 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: end of that burn rate, like you are looking at 212 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: like a nine point four mile run in order to 213 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: work off shake. But you know results may vary, yes, yes, yes, yeah, 214 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: because because milkshakes. Milkshakes are not a health food. Um. 215 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: You know, the dairy components tend to be high and fat. 216 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: All dairy contains natural sugars, and then on top of 217 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: that there's usually a lot of added sugars. You're gonna 218 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: get a little bit of protein, a punch of micronutrients. 219 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: But you know, like a milkshake will indeed help fill 220 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 1: you up, but it won't really keep you going. It's 221 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: a it's a treat, a surprise, surprise. Yeah, I know, right. 222 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: But because of milkshake's reputation as a treat, well, a 223 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: shake style beverages are like a whole dieting thing in 224 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: the world of dieting, but but be Milkshakes of varying 225 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: kinds have been used in like a lot of physiological 226 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: and psychological research. For example, in researchers looking at like 227 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: the immediate dietary effects on blood cells and blood vessels, 228 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: had a small sample of men drink a high fat milkshake, 229 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: think like thousand calories eighty grams of fat. That's over 230 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: your recommended daily intake of fat for a person in 231 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: a day. So they had him drink this shake and 232 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: then observed that four hours later their their blood vessels 233 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: were less able to dilate and some of their red 234 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: blood cells became like sort of spiky instead of smooth, 235 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: both of which can can raise your blood pressure. Um 236 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: although don't don't worry, don't worry too much. It don't 237 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: put down the milkshake. It's as long as you don't 238 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: do this like for every meal, your body evens itself 239 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: out over time. I mean like, yes, there can be 240 00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: cumulative effects, but don't don't panic a few yeah. Uh. 241 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,239 Speaker 1: And and then in two thousand eight, UM other researchers 242 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: in Oregon used chocolate milkshakes to help test dopamine response 243 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: to food intake, partially because milkshakes are like easy to 244 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: sip when your patient is or when your subject is 245 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: lying in an in an m r I machine. Yeah. 246 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: But but but they found essentially that UM that some 247 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: people who over eat may do so because their brain 248 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: chemistry doesn't reward food intake with very much dopamine release, 249 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: like meaning that those folks have to eat more to 250 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: get the same positive feeling from food as other folks. 251 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: And then in um a study, he played with the 252 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: viscosity of milkshakes as it relates to safety and and 253 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: digestive time. So like, they made thick and thin versions 254 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: of both one calorie and five hundred calorie shakes, and 255 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: the thick shakes made the subjects feel more full no 256 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: matter how many calories the shakes actually contained. Interesting. Yeah, 257 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: I know, right. The recommendation that came out of that 258 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: one was basically like, if you're doing a meal replacement 259 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: shake or a smoothie or something, you can add thickening 260 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: agents to to make you feel full for longer, like 261 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: a banana or oats or avocado. Stuff like that. UM, 262 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: and there's more more more In group of researchers out 263 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: of Yale did this small experiment where they gave milkshakes 264 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: to two groups of volunteers and for for one group, 265 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: they described this shake as an indulgent six D twenty 266 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: calorie shake, and to the other group, they described it 267 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: as a sensible hundred and forty calorie shake. All the 268 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: shakes were the same calories, but they tested that the 269 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: subjects levels of this gut hormone called grell in before 270 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: and after drinking the shake, and and grellin levels in 271 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: our systems spike when we're hungry and h and slower 272 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: metabolism down like just in case we don't find food, 273 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: and and then Grellen levels drop when we're sated, allowing 274 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 1: our metabolism to kick in and help us digest. So 275 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: after drinking these totally the same shakes, UM, the subjects 276 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: who thought they had gotten an indulgent one had lower 277 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: levels of grellin than the subjects who thought that they 278 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: had gotten a sensible one. So in other words, when 279 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: people thought they had eaten more calories, they were more sated, 280 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: which is just really interesting because it means like psychology 281 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: has something to do with our actual physiological response to eating. 282 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: That is fascinating. Milkshakes science, um so much of it. Yeah, 283 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: I know right, they're even milks. Milkshakes are even used 284 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: as rewards in some mouse studies. For example, I found 285 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: this so darling. Okay, So for the past few years, 286 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: researchers have been uh super into using touch screens as 287 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: part of mouse studies because if because you can totally 288 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: teach a mouse to to poke a particular area or 289 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 1: it's like like a button on a touch screen with 290 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: their little mouse nose, uh, in order to get a reward. 291 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: And that's a much more directly applicable thing to to 292 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: human use and studies than than buttons and levers and 293 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: stuff like that. So so yeah, just little strawberry mouse 294 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: milkshake rewards in research and touch screens. And I don't know, 295 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: I liked, I like, I liked I liked that, I 296 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: liked reading that story anyway. That's lovely. Um, well, there's 297 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: a lot of studies, clearly, but we also do have 298 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: some numbers for you. We we do, um and okay, okay, 299 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: So I've come to understand that milkshakes are a very 300 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: American thing. Um, but you can find them all over 301 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: the world and people seem to like them. Oh yeah, 302 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: milkshakes are so popular, like part of why McDonald's is 303 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: a thing level of popular and more on that later. 304 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: We've also done in a a McDonald's episode. You can check 305 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: that out. We talked about it in that one. Multiple 306 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: chains have said milkshakes are one of their most profitable items, 307 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: if not the most profitable items. According to Christopher Muller, 308 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: director of the Center for Multi Unit Restaurant Management at 309 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: Orlando's University of Central Florida, UM, milkshakes are about se 310 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: profit sonic the drive in restaurant. Um. They say that 311 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: the marketing manager there's once said shakes are their quote 312 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: highest volume revenue producing areas. And yes, freak shakes. Okay, okay, alright, 313 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: So so this isn't like a Halloween thing? What what is? 314 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: But it can be The world is your oyster when 315 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: it comes to freak shakes. So these are milkshakes but 316 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: extreme like garnished with the slice of pie and maybe 317 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: on top of that is a slice of cake, like 318 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: dough nuts, pretzels. Um. Yeah, that everything you can imagine 319 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: has been added to it. They are the ultimate Instagram 320 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: herble food. I think when the first time I saw one, 321 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: that was a moment of clarity or it's like, oh 322 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,239 Speaker 1: my god, Instagram is really shaping a lot of what 323 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: we're eating these days. But I had to have one 324 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: that totally was in um They are attributed largely attributed 325 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: to Anna Patritis at her Patties Cafes in Canberra, Australia. 326 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: Um So, I actually was going to go there. I 327 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: was going to go to New Zealand and go out 328 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: of my way to make a stop in Canberra to 329 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: go to one of these cafes, but it got canceled 330 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: unfortunately not COVID related. This was years ago. Um So 331 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: I didn't get to have the quote original freak shake, 332 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: but I did have one at Black Tap in New 333 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: York City and it was topped with multiple chocolate chip 334 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: cookies and like an ice cream sandwich and um with 335 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: cream all that stuff. I'll try to dig up the picture. 336 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: I definitely took a puture, um and I shared it 337 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: with somebody, so it was doable. But if I could 338 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: not have finished that thing by myself, so man, I 339 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: don't know. For some reason, I like, I'm anti this 340 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: entire idea, partially because a lot of the photographs of 341 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: these things are very messy, like they involve like syrup 342 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: and stuff and and drips of ice cream being like 343 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: down the sides of the glass, and for some reason, 344 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: that grosses me the heck out. I'm like, no, no, 345 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: that's wrong, and I don't like it, and I don't 346 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: want it, and I don't want other people to like it, 347 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: so they're Um, I don't know why I have such 348 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: a firm emotion about drips down the sides of glasses 349 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,239 Speaker 1: not being attractive. That's that's legitimate. You know what. Your 350 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: fingers get sticky, that's the thing, and they would get 351 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: so sticky. Gosh. I don't recall that happening in mind, 352 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: the one I had, but maybe I'll look back. Yeah, 353 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: I mean because on the flips, these are also reminding 354 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: me of of our Bloody Mary episode and all of 355 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: the like extreme Bloody Mary's that um that people make 356 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: and consume and I'm fine with that. Mm hmm. It's 357 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: the dairy aspect. I feel like you've got a thing 358 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: with dairy. Yeah, maybe that's it. I'm just like, oh, 359 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: so much, so much ice cream, A little bit, little 360 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: tiny bits. It's great anyway. Anyway, Um, speaking of little 361 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: tiny bits of ice cream, the Guinness record for the 362 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: largest milkshake is from the year two thousand. It was 363 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: a six thousand gallon milkshake. Uh, what's called a black 364 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: and white, which is vanilla with chocolate syrup, and that 365 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: is over liters. It's it's the equivalent of about fifty 366 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: normal milkshakes. And it was put together by a devilish 367 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: collaboration between the comfort Diners, Um Parmelant Milk, the American 368 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: Dairy Association, and the Dairy Council and assembled in a 369 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: milk tanker that was decorated to look like a milkshake, 370 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: and it was driven, uh and distributed through Manhattan. Wow. Huh. 371 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: Now that's a lot of milkshake. That that is quite 372 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: it's not a small amount of milkshake and quite a bit. Um. 373 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: There's also a record for the most expensive milkshake, but 374 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: it was only worth a hundred bucks. I feel like 375 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: they're not even trying. Oh yeah, we could. I mean, 376 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: we could beat that record. If we're looking for a 377 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: record to beat, that's easy. Oh that's I mean, come 378 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: on right right, Like i'd bean like to invest, just 379 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: put like more gold leaf in there. I mean, like, 380 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: what are you doing on? Milkshakes are incredibly popular in 381 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: our media, especially here in the United States. I found 382 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: a whole essay about how milkshakes are a shorthand for sweetness, 383 00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: like human sweet sweetness, UM, and innocence and virgin and often. 384 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: But then there's also Master Shake from Aquitine Hunger Force. Uh. 385 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: Then of course there's the I Drink your All milkshake 386 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: scene from There Will Be Blood, which didn't involve a milkshake, 387 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: by the way, Um I was I was reading and um, 388 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: and some of this has gone international. There is a 389 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: dance and music festival in Amsterdam called the Milkshake Festival, 390 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: and it it I'm not I couldn't really track down 391 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: like like the origin of the name immediately, but um, 392 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: but it celebrates like the queer community and tolerance and 393 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: like being yourself in whatever glorious form you choose. So 394 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: I really liked that I thought that was a good 395 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: like like milkshake being a good metaphor for those things. Yeah, 396 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: that's great. Um. And then of course they're like on 397 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 1: the opposite end of the innocent, virginal spectrum. There's also 398 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: the you want some fries to go with that shake, 399 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: and milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, So 400 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: you know, the milk shakes out representing that's what we're saying. 401 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: It is, it is, it's it's doing it's it's doing 402 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: double duty. Yeah, and uh, it has been for a 403 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: while actually, yeah, and we will get into the history 404 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: of that right after we get back from a quick 405 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: break for a word from our sponsor, and we're back. 406 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: Thank you, sponsor, Yes, thank you. And as we said 407 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: at the top, this is not the ice cream episode 408 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: that will happen one day, but it is not today. 409 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: Uh no, no, because that's that is a lot very 410 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 1: very briefly, Um, Rich folks have been eating flavored ices 411 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: for at least a couple of thousand years, and the 412 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: like dairy based creamed ices or ice creams that we 413 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 1: know today started developing around the sixteenth century. Yeah, and 414 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: around that time we were seeing milk based concoctions like pasta. 415 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: It's an eggnog and you could see our episodes on 416 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: eggnog and butter beer for more on that. Uh yeah, 417 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: ice cream wasn't widely available until ice and refrigeration technology 418 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: developed in the mid eighteen hundreds, so so before then, 419 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: any kind of creamy treats would have been less frozen. Yeah, 420 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: often hot, because milk was a dangerous this is dicey 421 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: game back then. Absolutely yes. The when the term milkshakes 422 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: first came out of the scene in five uh, these 423 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: milkshakes were for adults only, and that's because they were 424 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: usually applied with at least one shot of whiskey, but 425 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: not just whiskey. It was a mixture of eggs, maybe malt, 426 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: maybe sugar, milk, crushed ice, maybe some flavorings. Ice cream 427 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: almost definitely not involved. Um. These early milkshakes had a 428 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: similar thickness to eggnog and were served both as a 429 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: treat and a tonic. And we have this early description 430 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: of um sturdy, healthful eggnog type drink with eggs, whiskey, 431 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: et cetera served as a tonic as well as a treat. 432 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: The popular story goes that the drink got its name 433 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: from the practice of tipping and shaking the hand of 434 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: the person who made the drink. Probably apocryphal, I don't know, 435 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: but a lot of people say that. In six in 436 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: Atlanta Constitution, article called Milkshake had this quote, The newest 437 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: Atlanta drink is milkshake. You get it at the soda fountains. 438 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: The mixer of cooling beverages pours out a glass of 439 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: sweet milk, puts in a big spoonful of crushed ice, 440 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: puts in a mixture of unknown ingredients, draws a bit 441 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: of any desired syrup, shakes the milk in a tin 442 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: can like a bar keeper, mixes lemonade, sprinkles a little 443 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: nutmeg on the foaming milk until it looks something like 444 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: a Tom and Jerry sits it out for you, and 445 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: you pay five cents. Milkshake isn't Atlanta drink. Atlanta is 446 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: nothing if not original. I guess I can't argue with 447 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: that sentiment. True. Yeah, I was nodding my head in 448 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: agreements that article. If you're curious, I didn't know this, 449 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: but Tom and Jerry is a Christmas cocktail similar to 450 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: egg knock. I did not know that, and now I 451 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: have more research to do about Tom and Jerry. That's great, exactly, 452 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: I want to know that aime, where does it come from? 453 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: But for today, milkshakes didn't stay relegated to an adult 454 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: beverage for long. By the nineteen hundreds, the whiskey and 455 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: eggs were out and these drinks became an all ages treat. Chocolate, strawberry, 456 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: vanilla syrup was usually added in the mix, and these 457 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: shakes were frequently served in a tall glass. But what 458 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: about the ice cream? What about the ice cream? Well, 459 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: let me tell you Walgreens. Walgreens takes credit for inventing 460 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: the milk shake when it comes to that edition of 461 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: ice cream. Uh, specifically Walgreens employee i've are Pop Coulson 462 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: out of Chicago from their website quote. Until then, malted 463 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: milk drinks were made by mixing milk, chocolate syrup, and 464 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: a spoonful of malt powder and a metal container, then 465 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: pouring the mixture into a glass. On one especially hot 466 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: summer day in nineteen two, Pop Coulson set off his revolution. 467 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: To the basic mixture, he added a generous scoop of 468 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream, then another You gotta have two scoops? 469 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: You do you do. It's so one scoop does not 470 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: a milkshake make exactly exactly. UM. Also found another article 471 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: from the Atlantic Constitution, first published in eighteen eighty five, 472 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: that was an interview with a local soda jerk about 473 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: soda fountains. UM, and it kind of touches on this, 474 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: but it's surprisingly gendered and sexist. And will you allow 475 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: me to to quote it? I yeah, sure, it is 476 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: surprisingly the right word from eight five. I mean, well, 477 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: it's like it wasn't even brought up. He just said 478 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: this of his own relicip. The interviewer was like, so 479 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: what do you what do you sell a lot of? 480 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: And he's like, well, let me tell you about the 481 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: ladies and way please please regale us all right? Ice 482 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: cream soda is a favorite with the ladies and the 483 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: little ones. It is really one of the most pleasant 484 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: mixtures we serve, though rarely asked for by men. The 485 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: ladies like it for two reasons, first because it is good, 486 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: and second because it can be eaten with a spoon. 487 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: A glass of soda with colored foam on top does 488 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: not commend itself, especially to a woman when she is 489 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: with a gentleman for whom she has some liking, is 490 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: awkward to get away with it without carrying upon her 491 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: lip a mustache. By the way, you ever noticed ladies 492 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: drinking soda water, They invariably hold the glass in one 493 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: hand and their handkerchief in the other. Between every sip 494 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: they wipe off their lip. A man never begins using 495 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: his handkerchief until after he settles his score just halfway 496 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: out of the place. Not so with the ladies. Therefore, 497 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: anything that requires a spoon is more popular with them 498 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: than beverages that require to be drunk. Consequently, we sell 499 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: a great deal of ice cream soda. Okay, dude, like 500 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: all right, sure, he also had this delightful nugget which 501 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: isn't really related, but I'm sorry we have to include it. Yeah, yeah, okay. Well, 502 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: in the first place, the most curious one to me, 503 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: he was talking about flavors, according to my way of thinking, 504 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: and one that is most frequently called for is pineapple 505 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: soda with cream, pineapple milkshakes, and lemon and nectar. If 506 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: there is anything on earth that is calculated to make 507 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: man's stomach rebel, it is pineapple ice cream. There ought 508 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: to be a law against this manufacturer. Indeed, anything has 509 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: milk or cream, and it should not, under any circumstances 510 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: be flavored with pineapple. The country man in the city, 511 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: taking in the town and patronizing for the first time 512 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: the soda water fountain will invariably choose pineapple and something else. 513 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: To him, pineapple is the embodiment of all that is 514 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: desirable and pleasant. And when he gets home and get sick, 515 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: as he invariably does after indulging in his pineapple and 516 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: milk potations, it never once occurs to him. The pineapple 517 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: is the calls by itself, it is an excellent and 518 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: pleasant drink and as far as I know, harmless. But 519 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: the moment it becomes associated with milk in an unlimited partnership, 520 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: that moment it becomes an enemy of the state. So okay, yeah, 521 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: nobody tell this dude. Nobody go back in time and 522 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: tell this dude about the dole whip. I think he'll 523 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: like fall right skin. Yeah, that is a strong opinion 524 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: about pineapple milkshakes. All right, fair enough, fair enough, But 525 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: pivoting away from that, malted milk powder. Malted milk powder 526 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: was invented in the seventies. Ish. There's a bunch of 527 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: dates that float around um as a nutritional supplement for infants. Okay, 528 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: so malt grain we talked about it briefly before. But 529 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: it's something that's dried quickly after it's sprouts, resulting in 530 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: a sweet mash. And you grind that up and add 531 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: that to wheat flour and powdered milk and possibly other 532 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: things like sugar, and you have malted milk powder. And again, 533 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: remember this is a time when milk borne illnesses were 534 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: fairly common, so people were interested in coming up with 535 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: this thing. So for a short history, London pharmacist James 536 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: Horlicks began working on a supplement for babies and sick 537 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: people in eighteen sixty nine. Problem though, he couldn't secure 538 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: any funding, so he packed up shop and moved to Wisconsin, 539 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: where his brother was located. The two came together to 540 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: form J. And W. Horlicks outside of Chicago and started 541 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: producing the formula. They received a patent for dias story, 542 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: which was quote a granulated food for infants in eight three. 543 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: A couple of years later they changed the name to 544 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: malted milk, which real shame if you asked me, but 545 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: they got a lot of flak for calling it diass 546 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: storid UM. A lot of the marketing around it promoted 547 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: it as a health food, all kinds of things, from 548 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: a sleep aid to digestive aid to flu recovery. It 549 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: was a popular option among explorers too. I imagine it 550 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: was comple to our modern protein drinks or energy bars, 551 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: or at least that's how people thought about them. Because 552 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: of this. Admiral Richard E. Bird named a mountain range 553 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: after William Horlick in the Antarctic Mountains. Yeah, okay. Horlick's 554 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: later engaged in several legal battles to retain ownership of 555 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: the phrase malted milk, but ultimately they lost. From what 556 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: I understand again, Kyle with the motorcycle right in when 557 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: it came to malted shakes or malt, the malt powder 558 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: made them fattier, more of a meal, and gave them 559 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: a more robust, rounded flavor. Yeah, yeah, I would say 560 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: that in these are modern times, if you're adding malt 561 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: to something like that, yeah, it just gives it a 562 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: little bit of a of a depth of flavor, just 563 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: something kind of not quite savory, but it kind of 564 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: roasty toasty. Yeah, roasty toasty. Love it. These early milkshakes 565 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: UM were typically mixed by hand because there were no 566 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: electric blenders yet, but that change in nineteen eleven when 567 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: Hamilton Beach introduced the first electric mixer. Soda fountains adopted 568 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: them pretty quickly, and then in the invention of the 569 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: electric blender catapulted the availability and thus the popularity of 570 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: the milkshake, and also helping out the milkshake the non 571 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: alcoholic variety was prohibition during the United States. Um, I 572 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: I have you know a confession. One of the reasons 573 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to live alone is because I have extreme 574 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: guilt about using my blender, and I I was super 575 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: into smoothies, So I was like, I, why do you 576 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: Why do you have guilt about using a blender? I 577 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: am They're allowed, and I didn't want to awake anybody 578 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: or bother anybody, so I would like go out until 579 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: I would do all kinds of things to try to 580 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: use it and not bothered people. UM So now I 581 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: live alone and I make smoothies anymore. So I don't 582 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: know anyway. Another innovation important to the milkshakes evolution was 583 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: the invention of the free on refrigerator in the nineteen thirties. 584 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: In Earl Prince debut the multi mixer, allowing for the 585 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 1: automated mixing and dispensing of five milkshakes at a time. 586 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: And then we get it. We see a rise in 587 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: milkshakes during the fifties, starting with Dairy Queen when they 588 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: added milkshakes to their menu in ninety nine, and then 589 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: yeah that you could see them at diners, burger joints, 590 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: soda fountains all over. People even started calling soda fountains 591 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: malt shops, that's how popular they were. But they were 592 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: called all kinds of different things, frats, velvets, cabinets, frostage shakes, 593 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: and this was typically used for non malted milkshakes, and concretes, 594 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: which were a specific type that you could flip over 595 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: and it wouldn't PLoP out or drip from the glass. 596 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,720 Speaker 1: Um floats described scoops of ice cream, suspended and milk, 597 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: and a lot of these terms are still used, especially 598 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: when you get you zero in regionally. Yeah, yeah, definitely, 599 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: And I do alike in my head they are a 600 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 1: very nineteen fifties thing, people going on dates and sharing 601 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: a milkshake, and and I was thinking a lot of 602 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 1: our burger joints in the US are like there's steak 603 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: in shake, but there's also steak shop shake shack. Five 604 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: guys has a lot of our burger places have milkshakes 605 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: as a popular option. And speaking of the whole date thing, um, 606 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: Joseph Friedman patented the straw in ninety seven, specifically after 607 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: watching his daughter struggling with a milkshake. Uh yes, okay, 608 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: well thanks shakes future episode the straw because I almost 609 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 1: absolutely massive rabbit hole this thing. No no, non't know um. 610 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: And going back to that multi mixer okay. Also in 611 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: the fifties, multi mixer salesman Ray Kroc. He was the 612 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: sole legal distributor of this thing, and it was this 613 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: super fast like new fangled milkshake dispenser machine. And to 614 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,919 Speaker 1: sell these, he came up with the idea of fran 615 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: chizing a little chain called McDonald's. And I will say 616 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: he was successful. I'd fair fairly so yeah, yep, largely 617 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 1: attributed to our love of milkshakes. Huh, milkshake adjacent. When 618 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,320 Speaker 1: the first Wendy's opened in nine nine, it had five 619 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: items on the menu, including the frosty, which a lot 620 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: of people argue about whether that's a milkshake. But I 621 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 1: thought we'd tossed that in there and now attempted murder. Okay, 622 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: that was a hard turn. That was a hard turn 623 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: from Frosty's to attempted murder. But go ahead, come with me, okay. 624 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: So apparently Fidel Castro loved milkshakes and the CIA would 625 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: have loved to kill him. So the story goes that 626 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: the CIA poisoned his favorite chocolate milkshake at his favorite restaurant. 627 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: The CIA bribed to the mafia to do this. He 628 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: bribed a waiter at the restaurant want to do this, 629 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: so he put a poisoned pill. The plan was he 630 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: was going to put a poison pill in cash It's milkshake, 631 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: but he put it in the freezer and alas or 632 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: not alass. When he went to get it out and 633 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: put it in Cashrow's milkshake, it had frozen to the 634 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: bottom of the freezer and when he tried to kind 635 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: of maneuver it off, it ripped open the pill. Yeah, 636 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: oh yeah, so plot foiled. Uh, they and they did 637 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: not try death by milkshake again. Well, I's calling you 638 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: to get me. I'll be open with you. Please, please, 639 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: please please know when poison Annie.

Yeah, no, 641 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: it would yep, yep, that would work on That's not 642 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: the only political thing milkshakes have been involved either. In 643 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: nineteen throwing milkshakes at politicians are milk shaking became a 644 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: popular form of protesting, particularly in the United King him 645 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: to the point that the UK police officially requested that 646 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: McDonald stopped selling milkshakes in That's wild to be so 647 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,800 Speaker 1: Burger King responded with a tweet, We're selling milkshakes all weekend. 648 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 1: Have fun, but the tweet was later banned by the 649 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:26,760 Speaker 1: Advertising Standards Authority in the UK. So much. Oh my god, 650 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: that's spectacular. I hadn't heard about this. Yeah, milkshaking.

Meanwhile, Um, the aforementioned song Milkshake about 653 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: bringing all the boys to your yard came out in 654 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: two thousand three, and apparently the the artist Kelly's. Kelly's 655 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: later studied at La Cordon Blue and put out a 656 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: cookbook called Plate Yeah. But also apparently she had never 657 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: made a milk ache until which she did like a 658 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,760 Speaker 1: sponsorship thing with Bailey's involving their their Irish cream liqueur 659 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: um chocolate ice cream, ginger beer, candy, ginger, and cayenne pepper. 660 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: It sounds good, It does sound good, and that milkshakes 661 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: are having kind of a renaissance when it comes to 662 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 1: fancier type milkshakes and things like adding alcohol back in there. 663 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:32,439 Speaker 1: So yeah, loozy milkshakes making a comeback false circle exactly exactly. 664 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 1: It's a whole whole wide world of milkshake experimentation and 665 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: it's very exciting. It is. You know, I'm I'm always 666 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 1: glad when people get to experiment. So yes, yes, So 667 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: that's about what we have to say for milkshakes. I 668 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: gotta admit I thought this one was going to be 669 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: short and sweet. But then whenever we're talking about like 670 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: I temp didn't murder and protesting, Oh my gosh. Yeah yeah, no, 671 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: this the this was this was a fun one. I 672 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: didn't think that I would have this much fun and 673 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: I didn't think that I would have a craving. But 674 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: I totally had a craving. So there you go. I 675 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 1: did to you. But no milk, no milk, no, oh 676 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: but you have but you have that dairy and ice 677 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 1: cream if you did have milk, you can make a durry. 678 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: You're right, You're right. Maybe I'll next time I venture 679 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: out to the grocery store, if there is milk, maybe 680 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,479 Speaker 1: I'll get some. But in the meantime, that has about 681 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: us to the end of what we have to say 682 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: for now about Yes, we we do. We do have 683 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more for you. Um, but first we've 684 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 1: got one more quick break for a word from our sponsor, 685 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: and we're back.

We were barely doing it before. 688 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: We're in the studio together, but now it's Skype. We're 689 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to be like on top. Yeah with this, 690 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: with this delay, I'm gonna say, it's like an extra 691 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,720 Speaker 1: challenge level. Uh so, sorry about it, and or you're welcome. 692 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what you like.

So right now 694 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 1: it's hard, but we'll eventually we'll learn more skills and 695 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: we'll pick pick up more listener mail cues. It'll be good. 696 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 1: Victoria wrote in Machias main or perhaps Machias is a 697 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: restaurant called Helen's Back. They suffered from a fire. The 698 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 1: building destroyed despite firefighter's efforts. Afterwards, while officials were looking 699 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 1: through photos taken the night of restaurants burning, they noticed 700 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: one photo showed the silhouette of a figure standing in 701 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,399 Speaker 1: a window. The owner said it was the window next 702 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: to where all the pies were stored. Investigating the area, 703 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,040 Speaker 1: let and nobody but a pie did make it out unburned. 704 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: A blueberry pie with a single slice missing. Did the 705 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: ghost chili aura protect that which it ate from? This 706 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: was in response to our call for paranormal supernatural food stories. 707 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: So thank you so much. Victoria's Oh that's amazing. Oh 708 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:28,320 Speaker 1: my gosh, wow A good things ghost. Yeah?

Deelia Jane wrote, I thought you 711 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: might want to hear about my sour dough culture and 712 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: how I became colloquially known on my college campus as 713 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 1: the bread Girl. This past summer, I was going through 714 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: a pretty tough time and began looking for some new 715 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: hobbies and interests. I found a show, and do you 716 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: never fail to cheer me up? Needing a project, I 717 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 1: settled on baking homemade bread from scratch. Originally, I thought 718 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 1: this would be something I do every now and again, 719 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: but it's become part of my nearly day dietary, recreational, 720 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 1: and mental health routine. I've not purchased a single loaf 721 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,280 Speaker 1: of bread in almost eight months. Naturally, when I moved 722 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: back to campus this fall, the hobby carried over, much 723 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: to the delight of my roommates, friends D and D slash, 724 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,280 Speaker 1: settlers of Catan Group, and upstairs neighbors who once knocked 725 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: asking why it smells like a bakery all the time, 726 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,439 Speaker 1: only to be gifted with warm, fresh slices of rye 727 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: bread in response. Once my roommate jokingly wrote you like 728 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,359 Speaker 1: homemade bread, you want some? All loaves less than ten 729 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: dollars followed by a number on a white board in 730 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: a study lounge. Well, people actually began texting me, and 731 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,320 Speaker 1: I actually began selling a large amount of bread to 732 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: fellow broke college kids and turned a profit. On campus, 733 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: you can see people happily walk around with their loaves 734 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,640 Speaker 1: wrapped in tinfoil and one of the personalized sticky notes 735 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: I like to attach, eagerly telling their friends. Pretty much 736 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 1: everyone I knew began telling their friends and classmates, even 737 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 1: mentioning it to professors. My best friend tells me, I 738 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: give flower purpose. I have a running list on my 739 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: phone with bread puns I want to one day turn 740 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: into bakery names. Some of my favorites include live and 741 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 1: let rye in bread, we crust to rye for and 742 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:17,840 Speaker 1: yeast meets West potential bakery slogan we give all purposes 743 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: to flour whole. Yeah. The thing is, I'm an incredibly 744 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 1: shy and introverted person. I tend to be very reserved 745 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 1: around new people, but now have this lovely bread reputation 746 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: preceding me. When my roommates through a party, I'll always 747 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 1: pull out a loaf or make one before we go 748 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: out to a bar. I'll walk into parties and instead 749 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: of blending into the background like I used to, a 750 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 1: roar of cheers and praise will erupt for the bread girl, 751 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 1: followed by complimentary drinks. I'm twenty one, I promise I 752 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 1: make all types of bread, and I'm working my way 753 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 1: through American test kitchens. Cookbook Bread Illustrated, which is enshrined 754 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 1: on the window sill of my apartment for all to 755 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: see and to mark the Home of the bread Girl. 756 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm a biology major and a'm taking an elective this 757 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: semester called Yeast Genetics and Genomics, and have learned so 758 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 1: much about fermentation, beer, and bread. When studying, I often 759 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: think of my favorite yeast poop or bacteria poop sound bites. 760 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 1: Our first homework assignment was to bring in a craft 761 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 1: beer from which we isolated and grew up yeast cells. 762 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 1: Our final project was going to be brewing beer with 763 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: wild e samples we collected from trees, and the professor 764 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 1: was even going to see if I could make a 765 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: loaf of bread with it. Sadly, my classes are canceled 766 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 1: the rest of the semester due to the coronavirus outbreak. 767 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: Being home for a while, I decided to set up 768 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,760 Speaker 1: a sour dough starter completely from scratch, using only flower 769 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,399 Speaker 1: in water. Until now, I've been using a cheater sour 770 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,359 Speaker 1: dough recipe that utilizes Greek yogurt and a single use 771 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 1: overnight sponge. Still delicious. My dad actually makes homebrewed beer, 772 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,200 Speaker 1: and being home as well, started his latest batch. At 773 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,880 Speaker 1: the same time. We're both excited to see how our 774 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: respective yeast collections will influence the other. But my guess 775 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 1: is he'll end up making a sour beer. And may 776 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: I say, the smell of a sour dough culture and 777 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,719 Speaker 1: its first few days of existence is indescribable. I have 778 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:12,800 Speaker 1: never experienced such a confusing olfactory combination of comforting, hominess 779 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,839 Speaker 1: and downright dirty Jim sock. My culture isn't mature enough 780 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: to bake a loaf of naturally leavened sour dough with yet, 781 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: but I've been saving the discard every day and used 782 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: it today in a cinnamon raisin sour dough. I know 783 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: that was a lot, but I love talking about bread 784 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: and yeast in baking, and I figured this was a 785 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: good audience for it. Yes, Oh, absolutely, so delightful. You 786 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 1: roll up into the bar and you've got bread and 787 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 1: bread with like, hey, here's here, I am, here's the bread. 788 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: So cool? I mean, anybody that shows up at any 789 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: party I throw with a loaf of homemade bread is 790 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 1: yeah there, Oh my gosh. Yes. Um. A dear friend 791 00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: of mine, lady who happens to be the executive chef 792 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 1: at a restaurant in Atlanta called Full commission Um, which 793 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 1: is mostly shut down due to COVID but is running 794 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 1: some takeaway specials, and I think just to keep herself saying, 795 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: she's also been making a lot of bread. And I 796 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 1: got a big old loaf of fresh sour dough, like 797 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,600 Speaker 1: fresh out of the oven, like still warm, like still 798 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 1: too hot to slice sour dough. And it was it 799 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 1: was really it was really important to my life at 800 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 1: that moment. Oh yeah, and I know probably a lot 801 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 1: of places are doing this, but in Atlanta, UM, I 802 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 1: think it was curious some bakeries are doing like weekly 803 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: delivery things.
