1 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Food Stuff. I'm Lauren Vogelbon and 2 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: I am Annie Reests and today today we're testing out 3 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: a new segment. Yeah, we're calling it fictional Foods or 4 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: in this case, fictional drinks, because we're going to be 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: talking about butter beer. And I guess in this case 6 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: it's a semi fictional drink. I know. That's one of 7 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: the most interesting things about this one. It's hopped from 8 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: the page to your mouth. It's made the transition from 9 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: fiction to reality. It's like who framed Roger Rabbit but 10 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,959 Speaker 1: at beverage? Yeah, or I I said Pinocchio, like I'm 11 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: a real drink now. Yes, for those of you who 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: don't know, I know. Butter beer is a drink from 13 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: the Harry Potter series. There actually isn't much description as 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: the taste in the books themselves, but when asked about 15 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: the taste, author J. K. Rowling told Bona Patti magazine 16 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: in two thousand two, I made it up. I imagine 17 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: it to taste a little bit like less sickly butterscotch. 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: It first appeared in the third book in the series, 19 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, after Harry tries 20 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: it for the first time at the Three Broomsticks. He 21 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: describes it as the most delicious thing he'd ever tasted 22 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: and seemed to heat every bit of him from the inside. 23 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: That's a very uh, that's a lot to live up to. Yeah, 24 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: no wonder people are so obsessed with it, I know. 25 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: And it pops up in every book after that. It 26 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,639 Speaker 1: can be served in hot hot in mugs, are cold 27 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: in bottles. They cost two sickles, which of course we 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: all know to be about sixty I think Mr Weasley 29 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: doesn't know about that. I think he'd have I think 30 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: it had trouble with the conversion rate. That's true. It's 31 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: a little bit less than than an American dollar, by 32 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: the way. Yes, and they were available for purchase at 33 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: pubs like the Three Broomsticks or the Hogshead. The book 34 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: implies you can't get them at Hogwarts, which I find 35 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: very interesting. Apart from special occasions like the Yuel Ball. 36 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: Dean and Shamus discussed buying some on the black market 37 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: post exams, and of course she could probably always count 38 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: on the Weasley twins took of course. Yeah. And one 39 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: of the interesting things about butter beer, and maybe why 40 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't available at Hogwarts. Was this kind of debate 41 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 1: around whether or not there's an alcohol in it, Yeah, 42 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: because it's got the name beer in the name, But 43 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: no one ever says anything about whether it's alcoholic. No, 44 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: and the consensus seems to be that it's maybe mildly alcoholic. 45 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: It's like enough to get a house elf like winky 46 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: drunk if she for those of you that don't know, 47 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: she got very drunk a lot in the gobblet of 48 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: fire on butter beer, or like a lightweight like her money. 49 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: That's supposedly the joke that she had a butter beer 50 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: and got and got tipsy. Yeah. In the sixth book 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: Half Flood, Prince Harry wonders what Ron and her money 52 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: might do quote under the influence of butter beer. Oh yeah. 53 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: And in the sixth movie, Emma Watson, the actress who 54 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: played her Money, certainly acted tipsy after having a better beer. 55 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: I remember that being a bigger deal than I thought 56 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: it should have been. But anyway, I've always thought it 57 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: was more of a happy feeling that it gave you, 58 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: as opposed to being like alcohol like drunk, just like 59 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: like magical, like yeah, like it's just making you happy, 60 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: sort of like Felix flicious, which is the like potion um, 61 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: and that the chemistry of a house self reacted differently 62 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: to it. Perhaps I've said too much. I'm a really 63 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: big Harry Potter fan. If people haven't surmised that already, 64 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: I think you are wearing Hufflepuff colors right now. But 65 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm in Griffin door a Potter more. Yeah, I'm a 66 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: I'm a Hufflepuff. Oh, I love Hufflepuff though. Oh it's 67 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: a great it's a great one to be. I'm not 68 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: ashamed of it. Hufflepuff pride, y'all, badge of honor. Right, 69 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: it's aun but I won't oh oh oh goodness. So 70 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: that's kind of a brief like outline of It's it's life. 71 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: It's fictional life, fictional life, but but it's actually it 72 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: could be argued. I'm not sure whether Rowling had this 73 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: idea or not. But um, but there is a history 74 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: of buttered beer concoctions in England, and we'll start talking 75 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: about that right after a quick break for a word 76 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: from our sponsor, and we're back. Thank you sponsor, thank you. 77 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: So so yes, there is something of a historical basis 78 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: for better beer or at least for a lightly alcoholic 79 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: beer based beverage that is creamy and spiced. And we 80 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: start this conversation with a medieval English drink called caudle 81 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: ce A U d l E. This was a drink 82 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: served warm, made with wine or beer that was gently boiled, 83 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: thickened with egg or cream or oatmeal, sweetened with honey 84 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: or sugar, and seasoned with stuff like a like nutmeg, 85 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: clothes and a saffron, allspice, cinnamon, mace and or ginger. Wow. 86 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,559 Speaker 1: And it goes all the way back to the twelve 87 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 1: or thirteen hundreds and was popular up to the sixteen hundreds, 88 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: as I kind of get better brew. Um. It was 89 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: served to folks who were bedridden, sick, in childbirth, or 90 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: you know, kind of old. On one of the recipes 91 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: is like give this to your old dude, just your 92 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: old dude that you've got hidden in the closet. I 93 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: think it was like an old man, but the application anyway. 94 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: It was also recommended as a sleepy time drink, and 95 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: caudle is where we get the term caudle as in 96 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: to treat gently c O D d l E. Etymologists 97 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: think that by the six hundreds coddle that the drink 98 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: had taken on an expanded meaning of gently boiling any 99 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, or the word c a u d 100 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: li had taken on this expanded meaning um, And in 101 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: eighteen fifteen Jane Austen used it in the in the 102 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: modern sense to coddle, to to treat gently, in the 103 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: book Emma, which was the first time that had appeared 104 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: as such in print. Yeah, you never know where an 105 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: episode will take here, I tell you, I know. Yeah, 106 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: Jane Austen is not what I thought I would be 107 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: talking about here. There was even specific drink wear for 108 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: your coddle, called coddle cups caddle cups. These looked like 109 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: tea cups, but usually had two handles, you know, the 110 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: better for the infirm to grip it with, and often 111 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: came with lids. Um. Classy folks had these highly decorated, 112 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: like painted gilded versions in their tea sets, of course 113 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: they did. The coddle was poeticized by Shakespeare in Henry 114 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: the Sixth, Part two, in which the rebel jack Cade 115 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: threatens to hang the Lord High Treasurer. The Lord High 116 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: treasure has just said that he's sick and tired of 117 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: considering the poor, and Cade says you shall have a 118 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: hemp and caudle then, and the help of hatchet zing. 119 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: Oh Shakespeare, I love you anyway. By the late fifteen hundreds, 120 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: coddle was sometimes called buttered beer due to its butter content. 121 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: There's a recipe in The Good Housewife's Handmaid for the Kitchen, 122 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: from which was written by a dude by the way 123 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: Um and the recipe. The recipe goes like this, And 124 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do the voice, but but imagine 125 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,559 Speaker 1: that I'm doing this in a very silly old English voice. 126 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: I think we can do that. Yeah, okay, all right. 127 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: Take three pints of beer, put five yolks of eggs 128 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: to it, strained them together, and set it in a 129 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: pewter pot to the fire, and put it to half 130 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: a pound of sugar, one pennyworth of netmegs beaten, one 131 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: pennyworth of cloves beaten, and a half a pennyworth of 132 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: ginger beat And when it is all in, take another 133 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: pewter pot and brew them together, and set it to 134 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 1: the fire again. And when it is ready to boil, 135 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: take it from the fire and put a dish of 136 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: sweet butter into it, and brew them together out of 137 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: one pot into the other. M hm, so slight tangent halfpenny. 138 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: So that is that like a that's how much you 139 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: would spend on it, That's what I'm guessing. That's the 140 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: measurement of which seems really inconvenient for translating recipes for later. 141 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: But but I guess you could kind of guess how 142 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: much that would be, right, like like all, this seems 143 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: like enough nutmeg clump. The end result of this beer 144 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: and egg and spicy stuff, and especially the slashing it 145 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: back and forth between different pots, the end result is 146 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: is a foamy and warm and probably tasted like like 147 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: pie spice. Basically. Um. It's sort of the boozy pumpkin 148 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: latte version of bulletproof coffee. If you can imagine that, 149 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: I think I can sure. And and this is essentially 150 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: the recipe that's persisted through the ages. It surged popularity 151 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: again in Victorian times and is generally related to the posset, 152 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: which is a warm milk and beer and or wine beverage. Um. 153 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: Although possets were more for for general consumption or winter 154 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: holiday consumption, I think that this coddle was was really 155 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: really was seen as a curative so that is possibly 156 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: where J. K. Rolling got the idea or inspiration for 157 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: butter beer. Perhaps perhaps, but either way, it did make 158 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: the leap into our world, the real world. And we'll 159 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: talk more about that after a quick breaker from our 160 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: sponsor and we're back. Thank you, sponsor. So, as we 161 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: said at the top, this is one thing that makes 162 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: butter beer as a fictional food very interesting. It's both 163 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: fictional and real. Now I don't think about it too 164 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: are ye. First and most obviously, you can buy butter 165 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: beer at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Studios. They 166 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: have locations in Orlando, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, and at 167 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: the Harry Potter Studio tour just outside of London. I 168 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: will say I've been to all of those but Tokyo, 169 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: and I'm going to fix that this year. Oh my goodness, 170 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: I haven't been to any of them. I'm so far behind. 171 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: So Universal chefs, including Universal's corporate executive chef Steve Jason, 172 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: embarked on the monumental task of bringing this quote most 173 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: delicious drink to life. I mean, I'd be very intimidated. 174 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: In the summer of two thous eight, they visited J K. 175 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: Rolling in places that inspired Harry Potter. They asked your 176 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: questions about what it tasted like. To me, that sounds 177 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: like an awesome trip from this. They determined that the 178 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: drink should taste smooth, with the main flavors being similar 179 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: to that of short bread and butter scotch. Yeah. They 180 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: wanted it to resemble beer but not be alcoholic for 181 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: perhaps obvious reasons. Yeah, mostly kids. Children are sometimes fans 182 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: of the Harry Potter series, in addition to children at 183 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: heart like us. That's very kind. Thank you, we all, 184 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: thank you, Lauren. It also had to not contain any 185 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: allergens and or dairy so that those who had any 186 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: allergies or were lactose intolerant could enjoy it. Basically, they 187 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: wanted it to be available to everyone, and this means 188 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: that there's no butter or beer and butter beer. Yeah. 189 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: They also wanted it to have less calories than a 190 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: twelve ounce can of soda, and J. K. Rowling insisted 191 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: it be made with real sugar because she thought that 192 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: high fruit toose corn syrup, rightfully or not, was going 193 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: to become the next ingredients people went out of their 194 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: way to avoid. Very savvy. Yeah, pretty pretty much and 195 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: just f y. I of fourteen ounce serving of butter 196 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: beer has two hundred calories and twenty grams of sugar, 197 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: which which is a little bit lower. I would have 198 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: guessed way more than a can of coke. Yeah, yeah, 199 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: that does. It taste much sweeter than that. It tastes 200 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: very sweet. It is delicious. I have a recipe. I'm 201 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: going to make it so that Lauren can try. Oh awesome. Yes. 202 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: With all of this in mind, Jason and his team 203 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: experimented for three months, coming up with something like sixteen recipes. 204 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: The higher ups at Universal tentatively approved one of them, 205 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: and then came the real test. They had to go 206 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: get the approval of the author I know. Oh no, 207 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: so oh that's a less fun trip. So the team 208 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: packed up the ingredients and hopped on a flight to 209 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: Edinburgh and funny aside of cord into head of Universal 210 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: Creative Mark Woodbury. Getting through the Department of Homeland Security 211 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: was a bit of a challenge. Yeah, I can see that. 212 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: The crew rented a kitchen space from an Edinburgh hotel. 213 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: They whipped up the five recipes, including the executive approved one, 214 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: and they had their fingers crossed that j K. Rowling 215 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: would go for it, but then they let her sample them. 216 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: I would have been so terrified. She tried each one, 217 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: and when she arrived to the one they wanted her 218 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: to pick, she smiled and said, yes, Chef, that's it. 219 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: Sweet relief. Oh, I had to sweet relief. The recipe 220 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: is the culinary version of classified. They make it on site, 221 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: and only those that need to know how to make 222 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: it know how to make it. Chef Jason has said 223 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: universal quote implanted special security procedures in order to protect 224 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: the recipe implanted implanted. It's kind of like him or 225 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: like who knows? Who knows how deep this goes? Of course, 226 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: folks have tried to smuggle a butt of beer out 227 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: of the park to figure out what's in it, but 228 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: to their surprise, the drink loses um. It has this 229 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: really smooth consistency as u two parts, the phone topping 230 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: and the body, and when people take it out of 231 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: the park, they'd find that it blend together in thirty 232 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: minutes and it would become a much less palatable drink, 233 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: almost like magic when they pour it. Even there's two 234 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: steps to pouring it. You pour the liquid body and 235 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: then there's another like spout for the phone topping and 236 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: not allowed to order it without the foam because they 237 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: claim it's part of the experience and trademarked. Oh yeah, 238 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: and this has led to at least one petition created 239 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: by someone worried about cross contament nation when it comes 240 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: to the topping, because they guarantee there's no lacto or 241 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: any kind of allergen in there, but people are worried 242 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: that maybe there's kind of like when a label has 243 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: to say it's made in it in a factory that 244 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: manufactures peanuts, something like that, but to the state, they 245 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: have not any hint of the recipe or lifted. Yeah, 246 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: you have to get the topping, and the topping is 247 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: generally everyone's favorite part. Throw that out there. Yes, you 248 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: can order the drink hot cold, frozen, in ice cream form, 249 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: fudge form, and potted cream form. I'm partial to the 250 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: frozen one, but the ice cream is amazing. It's hugely popular. 251 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: It's equally as popular as they are in the books. 252 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: You might say, yeah, when the data the data on 253 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: this really blew my mind. It's insane. When the park 254 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: first opened in June two thousand ten, chef Jason said, 255 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: we found out very very quickly when we opened that 256 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: butter beer was definitely an overnight home run. Less than 257 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: a year later, in January two thousand and eleven, Islands 258 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: of Adventure, where the Harry Potter theme park was located, 259 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: celebrated selling its millions of butter beer less than a year, 260 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: and by December that number was five million. Oh my goodness. Yeah. 261 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: They by the way, when they hit these benchmarks, they 262 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: throw these really big parties and they give away free 263 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: butter beer, or at least I think it's free. I 264 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: don't know. Anyway, there's butter beer, a lot of butter 265 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: beer drinking to be had. Um and I couldn't find 266 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: any specific numbers, but according to industry pros, theme parks 267 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: probably make around thirty percent of their profits from concessions. 268 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: Huffington Post wrote that they sell tens of thousands of 269 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: mugs of butter beer a day. You can also get 270 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: it in these souvenir mugs out and on opening day, 271 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: thirty eight thousand people waited in line to get into 272 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: the park, and the people at the park couldn't keep 273 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: up with butter beer demands, so they rolled out. It 274 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: comes from these huge barrels they rolled it out into 275 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: the main street and sold it for cash only. Some 276 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: folks waited up to six hours, goodness for a butter beer. 277 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: They still thousands of them that way in the first day. Yeah, 278 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: and according to surveys conducted at the resort, it has 279 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: the highest quote guest satisfire rating. It's number one thing 280 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: people want to do when visiting the park order a 281 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: butter beer. Oh man. And on a personal note, the 282 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: first time I visited, the lines for butter beer were 283 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: about as long as the ones for the attractions it. Yeah, 284 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: I was like, what's happening? What was going on? Yeah? 285 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: What are they waiting for butter beer? Yeah? Wow? See 286 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: that's It's the thing that I've thought because I haven't 287 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: I haven't been to the park, and I was like, well, 288 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: if I go to the park, like, am I going 289 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: to get one? I don't really like sugary drinks, So like, 290 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: is it worth it if to like spend like I mean, 291 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's not twenty dollars, Like however much money. 292 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're expensive everything in those parks, Like is 293 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: it worth Is a soda worth seven dollars? Yes? Just 294 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: at least once at least um and then you can 295 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: make your own. But they've been very smart marketing it 296 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 1: because they protected it so well. And then you can 297 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: get it in all these different ways. So you're like, well, 298 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: I got to try the hot one, I've got to 299 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: try the friend and one, I got to try all. 300 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: I have to have the souvenir mug. Yeah, and I 301 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 1: don't generally like sweet drinks either. Lauren and I were 302 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: discussing this before, but something about it is is kind 303 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: of refreshing. It's almost like, I don't know, like that 304 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: first tip of coke has that. Yeah, it's almost like that. 305 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's very good, and I would recommend 306 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: trying at least once. The price is high, but one time, 307 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: but the rewards are worth worth it. Yeah. Butter beer, 308 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: of course, is not the only food from the Hairy 309 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: Potter universe to have undergone this magical transition into reality 310 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: from it. Yeah, no, no no, no, You've got You've got 311 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes, fever fudge, chocolate Wants, peppermint mice. Uh. 312 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: They don't move in the real world that I'm personally 313 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: aware of. And of course the notorious Bertie Bots Every 314 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: flavor beans oh yeah, which I've had a few experiences 315 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: with I have as well. It's kind of like playing 316 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: Russian Roulette with beans. There's there's a there's a game 317 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: that Bertie Botts has that that's it's it's not like 318 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: a full board game, but but they have these boxes 319 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: of beans that that come and come in pairs, and 320 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: within each pair there's one like normal flavor and one 321 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: terrifying flavor. But they look identical. Oh my gosh. So 322 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: it's like coconut or spoiled milk. You don't know until 323 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: you put it in your mouth. And it's the idea 324 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: you play with a friend and like to see who 325 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: gets the bad one. I mean that Ben Ben bowlen 326 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: of car stuff and stuff they don't want you to know. 327 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: And I have a live Facebook live snack related show, 328 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: which basically is our excuse to eat on camera when 329 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: I'm not doing food stuff very weird things. But of 330 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: all the very strange things that I've consumed on that show, 331 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: like a number of different preparations of insects, um canned 332 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: meat from around the world. There were some durryan pastries 333 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: of all of that stuff, the spoiled milk Bertie bots 334 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: every flavor being was the only thing that's ever made 335 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: me gag. Really, Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, I like spit 336 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: it out immediately. It was like, nope, so good job. Yeah, 337 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: they really did well. Awesome. I the one that got 338 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: me was horse Raddish, which is strange because I love 339 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: horse Raddish, But I think that amount, that concentration it 340 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: was too much. I've tried all the flavors like grass mom, 341 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: but it's a horsehod Is that really did me in. Yeah. Anyway, 342 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: anyway there, I mean, they have whole shops that's just food, 343 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: mostly like candy type things made they've brought to life. 344 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: That's so cute. Yeah, it's the packaging is on point 345 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: as well. They really did a good job with design. 346 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: Apart from that the totally legal, universal version, there are 347 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: a couple of real world versions of butter beer that 348 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: exists in a gray area. When I started researching butter beer, 349 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: I was almost instantly derailed by the discovery of the 350 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: Starbucks Secret Menu, which has a butter beer prafuccino. It's 351 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: not so much a secret menu as much as like 352 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: stuff that you can order at Starbucks, like if you 353 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: tell them how to make it, like if you go 354 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: up to a counter and like what and butter beer please. 355 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: They'll probably be like, what do you want me to 356 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: put in the cup? Sir and or madam so so yeah, 357 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: so if you want to order it, just memorize the 358 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: drinks ingredients and and list them for your barista because 359 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: they will put more or less anything you want into 360 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: a cup and let you drink it. Um. But but yeah, 361 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: they might not know what a butt of beer is. Um. 362 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: The Internet recommends for a better beer a cream frappuccino 363 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: bass with a couple of pumps each of caramel and 364 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: toffee nut syrup, maybe some cinnamon dulce syrup too, And 365 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: you can do the same thing with a whole milk 366 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: steamer as a base as well, if you want the 367 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: hot version. One of the reasons we're doing this episode 368 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: now is one, a Harry Potter Day is July one. 369 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: I don't know when you're listening to this, but a 370 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: brown but this time is when it first came out. 371 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: And also Dragon Con is coming up, which is a 372 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: big convention in Atlanta where people just up and the 373 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: whole thing. Anyway, the Starbucks in Atlanta always do nerd 374 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: the drinks and a couple of years ago it was 375 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: better beer. Oh cute. Yeah, that's fun. I always trying 376 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: to try them and they're always way too sweet. But 377 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: I I'm like, well, I guess I'll try this thing, 378 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:55,479 Speaker 1: supporting my local nerd economy, right. Um. Another thing that 379 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: you can buy in the real world is Madam Ambrose's 380 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: magical Menagerie. Um. I've never run into this, but she 381 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: appears at conventions and sells butter beer truffles, apparently delicious, 382 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: and she says it's her number one selling product, usually 383 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: sold out in twenty minutes. Wow, yeah, all right. Yeng 384 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: Ling has a butter beer ice cream, but they maintain 385 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with Harry Potter. Absolutely nothing, no, no, no, no, no, zero, nothing, 386 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: not a thing. From their website quote, the butter beer 387 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: ice cream, product of yeng Ling's ice Cream Corporation is 388 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: derived from a centuries old British recipe for buttered beer 389 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: or ale, and this product name is not intended to 390 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: suggest any relationship with or sponsorship by Warner Brothers Entertainment 391 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: Incorporated and the JK Rolling Harry Potter characters or themes. 392 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: We're all very sure, Yeah, oh I believe you. Yingling's 393 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: president filed documents to trademark butter beer ice cream in 394 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: twenty teen, but he went on ahead without waiting for approval, 395 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: so the legal pint of Warner Brothers could and probably 396 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: will descend upon him at any minute. And yes, it's 397 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: the same Yengling that makes beer, the Yengling family. Yes, 398 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: that yeng Ling started an ice cream arm during prohibition. Well, 399 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: we'll see. I haven't seen their ice cream in stores, 400 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: but I think it might be. It might be a regional, 401 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: um northeastern kind of thing. If anyone's running into it, yeah, 402 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: let us know. Yeah, And of course you can make 403 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: it at home. On the simpler end of the butterbeer spectrum, 404 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: you pretty much just need cream, soda and butter scotch syrup. 405 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: I used to blend mine together, and then I used 406 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: to freeze it, excuse me, and then blend it. So 407 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: I'd have the frozen version, which I said is my favorite, 408 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: and I would go without the topping because it is complicated, 409 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: and some of the more difficult recipes involve things like 410 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: mar shmellow cream and rum extract. Speaking of room, there 411 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: are plenty of alcoholic recipes available, yes, And speaking of 412 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: marshmallow cream, that's what you usually used to make the topping. Oh, 413 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: the consistency, it's just difficult to get right. Yeah, but 414 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: like I said, it's most people's favorite parts, so it's 415 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 1: worth it's worth given a try. There's I mean, so 416 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: many recipes. If you search online you'll you'll find something. Yeah. 417 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: So that's butter beer. That's the wonderful world of butter beer. Yeah. 418 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: That's the end of our first fictional foods segment and 419 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: brings us to some listener Maile Yes Hannah wrote in 420 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: about our honey episodes. She says, I had a hive 421 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: in college, and the queen candy that kept my queen 422 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: in her separate vial was nothing other than a gummy bear. Yes, 423 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: that's so cute. I know it takes her quite a 424 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: while to eat her way through it, giving the beekeeper 425 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: and up to time to place her in the hive. 426 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: After her journey, she escapes or doesn't take to the hive, 427 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: the entire colony will follow her and you will be 428 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: a very sad, beless beekeeper. Yeah. Another fun fact. Smoking 429 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: a high works in two ways. First, it masks warning 430 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: pheromones that are released by special security bees. Second, the 431 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: rest of the colony thinks there's a fire. They eat 432 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: as much as the honey as they can to take 433 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: with them in case they have to evacuate the hive. 434 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: Their bellies are so full of honey they become sluggish 435 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: and can't lift their stingers. Be food commas are a 436 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: very real thing. That's that's just really sweet. I know, oh, 437 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: something we share with bees. Food commas. Also, Katie wrote 438 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: in response to our apple Pie episode, I recently listened 439 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: to your episode on apple Pie and felt it was 440 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: my duty as an Ohio University alumna to let you 441 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: know a tiny bit more about a man you mentioned. 442 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: Rufus Putnam might not be as legendary as Johnny Appleseed, 443 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: but he does have to college mascots named after him. 444 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: O how universities Rufus the Bobcat and Mariatta College is 445 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: Puttnam the Pyo m H and I would recommend searching 446 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: photos out for this because they are delightful. They really are. 447 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: I personally, I've gotten a real kick out of um 448 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: college mascots, just mascots in general. I used to edit 449 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: Step to Blow your Mind, and a fan rode into 450 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: them about how their college mascot was a pretzel. I uh, 451 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: I love it. That's so funny and great because I 452 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: don't know what how do you do with that? What's 453 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: you cheer? What's what kind of dances? Doesn't do that? 454 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's great. So thank you so much 455 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: to both of them for writing us, and you too 456 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: can write us.
