Well, 76 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 4: most of those walnuts, you would crack them open and 77 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: they would be gross inside, either water logged, you know, burnt, 78 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 4: like dark colored, you know what I'm talking about. Once 79 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 4: in a while you'd like eat a walnut, you're like earn, 80 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: spit it out. I mean half the walnuts sucked.

The fish, 88 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: everything deep fried. Just they just threw everything in the 89 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: bat frier for like ten minutes and it was just wonderful. 90 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: Did they ever change their oil? No? 91 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 3: No, and and and we thank them for that. But 92 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: I thought tartar sauce was invented to eat fish, But 93 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: they don't really know. 94 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: The origin of tartar sauce. I was. 95 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 3: I was reading up on this because they do a 96 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: podcast Nanny you got to look up the origins of 97 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: tartar sauce. 98 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: Very important there. 99 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 3: But they they think it actually began all the way 100 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: back in the Roman era, that that that was originally 101 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: in the Roman era. But other people say that was 102 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: not the case, and they're not really sure when tartar 103 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 3: sauce originated the modern version as a condiment, and it 104 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 3: was some part of Europe. Yeah, but the tartar sauce 105 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 3: corse mostly just that mayo. 106 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: And then they put the herbs. 107 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 3: In there and the lemon juice and now are you 108 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: a fish and chips? 109 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: Guy? I eat fish once a year. 110 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 3: It's deep fried beer battered fish. I'll eat that once 111 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: a year and then I'll say, well that's pretty good, 112 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: and then I'll never eat it again. Usually when I'm 113 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: going to the beach, something like if we go to 114 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: like San Diego or Santa Barbara or something like that, Okay. 115 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: I'll eat fish. But yeah, day to day, no, day 116 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: to day I do not. 117 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: But if long John Silver's, I guess they're still around. 118 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: But I don't know if I went back in there. Now, 119 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: I have such fond memories as a child going there 120 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: and eating everything just deep fried. 121 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like our really good memories of burger King 122 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 4: when we were kids. 123 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I have fond memories of burger King 124 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: long gone or those days. Yeah. 125 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 3: Now I go there, I'll get into ingestin heart, you know, 126 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: the heartburn and all that be. 127 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: Like, what am I doing here? Now? 128 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: Do you think that tartar sauce was created for fish 129 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 3: or do you think that it was created for something 130 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: else and then people just decided, well it goes great 131 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 3: with fish. Maybe if it originated in the Middle Ages, 132 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that's pretty wild. 133 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 4: They probably first invented it to cure gout and somebody 134 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 4: accidentally put their finger in their mouth. 135 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: They're like, that's not bad. Let's just put tonight's catch 136 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: on that. 137 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 3: It says National Tartars Days celebrated at a time when 138 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: the condiment is in high demand. 139 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: During the period of seafood. 140 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 3: Seafood becomes the premier dish, of course, because of the 141 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 3: calendar with lent and whatnot and people fasting and staying 142 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 3: away from from the chicken and the beef and all that. 143 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: So okay, Yeah, there you go.

It was like a burger 177 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 3: games Burgers is what it was called. It was a 178 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 3: concept because the dog food was semi moist but didn't have. 179 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: To be refrigerated. 180 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 3: And again, everything but pop tarts were created was early 181 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: on in terms of modern food manufacturing and whatnot. And 182 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 3: so Post, William Post's company, not Kellogg's, but the Post company, 183 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: they took the technology that they were testing out for 184 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: the refrigerated dog food and they shifted it over to 185 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: the what became pop tarts, the fruit filled pastry and 186 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 3: all that. 187 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: And so this is just like tartar sauce. Yeah, there 188 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: you go, very similar. 189 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 3: And there was an item before pop tarts that was 190 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: the precursor to pop tarts called country squares, but that 191 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 3: did not sell very well. 192 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: That did not sell very well. 193 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 3: And I mean there were originally and this one in 194 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 3: my childhood. I remember the strawberry, the brown sugar, cinnamon 195 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 3: is like I remember those. I don't remember any other flavors. 196 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 3: I know there were other ones. They said from the 197 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: story I was eating. They said, when Kellogg's first launched 198 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 3: what became pop tarts, they had four flavors. They had 199 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: apple jelly, strawberry, blueberry, and brown. 200 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: Cinnamon, brown sugar, and then they had it was. 201 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 3: A Dutch apple, concord, grape raspberry and whatnot. Now there's 202 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 3: like over thirty different kinds of pop tarts, and they 203 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: have special edition pop tarts. 204 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: But the favorite fun fact. 205 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 3: And I'm saving this one for alf the alien o 206 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: pineer who sends me fun facts during the Overnight Show 207 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: and religiously downloads this podcast, and I'm saving this for him. 208 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: So the reason you know why they're called pop tarts, 209 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,719 Speaker 3: you know the origin of this. It's it's one of 210 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,479 Speaker 3: the great stories. You can thank Andy Warhol, the legendary 211 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 3: Andy Warhol, for the name pop tarts. Now, he didn't 212 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: even know that he was responsible for this. But pop 213 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: tarts originally were called fruit scone. 214 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: What a dumb name, right, roots gone, who's gonna buy that? 215 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: That wouldn't have caught on with kids. 216 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: No, that would not or hit mom, Can I get 217 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 3: a fruit scone? No, no you can't. But they changed it. 218 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: And the legend is that the pop tart's name. The 219 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 3: reason they went with that is because these were marketed 220 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 3: in the nineteen sixties and Andy Warhol's pop art was 221 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 3: popular and so they just like the people at Kellogg's 222 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,359 Speaker 3: were like, well, this is Andy. 223 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: Warhol Pop pop art. 224 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 3: Pop tart just added tea there and boom, we got 225 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 3: a product. 226 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: Boom, shaka loaca, Yeah to the moon, to the Moon. 227 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 2: I'm in command. 228 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: I could order this. 229 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 3: And they originally did not have the delicious frosting on 230 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: the pop tarts. 231 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: They did not. That's a bad job by them. 232 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 3: But they say, and I don't know if this is 233 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 3: still true, because this is the story I came across 234 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 3: that had This was a couple years ago, but they 235 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: said that every year they have sold more pop tarts 236 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 3: for over thirty years, a generation and a half, the 237 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: sales of pop tarts have continued to go off.

Just my schedule was completely 392 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 3: messed up. So we're trying to change that around a 393 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 3: little bit. So I've been going to the gym in 394 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 3: the afternoon.
