Speaker 2: Yeah, don't worry. Star Wars puns will never stop.

54
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: No, they just flow from me like the force. I'm

55
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: like just connecting to something. But yes, we have a

56
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: lot of good ones for you in here, and we

Speaker 1: do really appreciate them, so keep them coming, yeah please, Yes,

58
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: all right, So I let us begin with Barbie, who

59
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: wrote I love the opportunity to write you. But after

60
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: weeks of podcast about food I'd never heard of or

61
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: never eaten, I wondered when the opportunity would come. Today.

62
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: I heard about fudge and loved every minute of it.

63
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: I am not a fudge eater, but am somehow fascinated

64
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: by it and by the magic and difficulty of making it.

65
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 1: My friends who make fudge are considered cooking wizards by

66
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: those who haven't been able to master the art. One

67
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: of my many favorite cozy mystery series is Nancy Coco's

68
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: dozen or more books set in mckinaw Island, featuring Ali,

69
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: a woman who runs an historic hotel, makes fudge, demonstrates

70
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: fudge making, and solves murders. Each book has a wonderful

71
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: narratives of making fudge and recipes for making fudge with

72
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: more different additives than I possibly have imagined, along with

73
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: descriptions of living on mcinaw Island that make you feel

74
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: like you're right there. The books are worth reading just

75
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: to be in on the world of fudge. I love this. Oh.

76
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: I visited my mom for her birthday this weekend. H

77
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: and she loved this is her like she loves a

78
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: good like murder miss Tree, but like with a side gig.

79
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 2: You know what I don't share is important, right, Yes?

80
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: And I love that this in this case it is making. Hey,

81
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: it is very magical. You've got to know how it works.

82
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: I can see how that would translate into solving murders.

83
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: How do you make fun?

84
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm right. And the specificity that you need to bring

85
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: to fudge making like it really encourages you to like

86
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: to like notice details, So yeah, yeah, I get it.

87
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: I also love like I could be wrong, but I

88
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: feel like MacNaught Island is not that big. It does

89
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: get a lot of tourist but I love she has

90
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: these shows. I watch with her when I visit her,

91
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this place isn't that big to have

92
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: the snow?

93
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

94
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, murderers like wow, okay, yeah.

95
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: Usually you start going like, I like, should should we

96
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: be avoiding the detective? Like? Does is there some kind

97
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: of reason that they're there? That these smarred anyway? I

98
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: don't know. Again, I've been rewatching X files, so I

99
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: have I have a lot of interesting kind of yeah.

100
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah, that's fair, that's fair. But I like

101
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: I like this setup. I think it sounds fun.

102
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, Kale wrote last year, I wrote into

103
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: Share that your Spoons episode unlocked my buried memory of

104
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 2: salad fingers from the early years of YouTube. Today, I'm

105
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: here to tell you that your Squab episode unlocked yet

106
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: another buried memory of mine. I don't know if either

107
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: of you watched Hey Arnold in the late nineties early aughts,

108
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: but there was an episode featuring a character dubbed pigeon

109
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: Man who had a very endearing love of pigeon. I

110
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: don't remember much about the actual plot of the episode,

111
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: but I do remember Arnold being very sweet to pigeon man.

112
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: And this image in particular and attached is an image

113
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: of afooresaid pigeon man. I assume being carried away into

114
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: the sunset by a flock of pigeons and Arnold kind

115
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: of watching in awe. Yeah, it's very beautifulful, very beautiful.

116
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: While your episode was super great and interesting, I'm not

117
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: sure I could bring myself to try squab after unlocking

118
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: this memory. Thank you for creating a food podcast that

119
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: somehow on Earth's many of my long forgotten, often not

120
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: food related, childhood memories. I appreciate all that you do.

121
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: Yes, well, we appreciate stuff like this too. We talked

122
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: about this. We mentioned this letter in when Samantha came

123
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: on when we had our conversation about oh right, yeah,

124
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: memories and stuff. But I wanted to share it because

125
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: it is great. It is true, like so many times,

126
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: I'll just have a memory that's not really food related,

127
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: but it is triggered.

128
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: By food, sure, or the discussion of a food related topic.

129
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I did watch Hey Arnold, Oh.

130
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: Gosh, I didn't really, that's one. That's one that I missed.

00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: I am a little behind with this one, but I

150
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: just listened to your episode about to meet it, and

151
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: I had to tell you about the Tomato art Fest

152
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: and nashal, Tennessee. It just happened this past weekend August twelfth,

153
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: and celebrated its twentieth year of wackiness. The tomato is

154
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: the steaked fruit of Tennessee, and although that isn't widely known,

155
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: it was the theme of a whim of a whimsical

156
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: art show twenty years ago that bloomed into the wild

157
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: event we know today. Should you happen to visit some

158
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: August in the future, you'll be greeted with said tomato

159
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: themed art show, a tomato themed five K, a tomato

160
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: themed costumed parade, a costume contest for people dressed like tomatoes,

161
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: a costume contest where people dress up actual tomatoes, a

162
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: Tomato toss, a bloody merry recipe contest and brunch event,

163
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: a tomato head redheaded person cut wow, as well as

164
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: many of the best craft people and food vendors in

165
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: Nashville selling their tomato themed creations. I am a national

166
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: name and have spent many a year going to this

167
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: bizarre and beloved event. I moved away a few years ago,

168
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: but returned this year to run the five K and

169
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: indulge in my favorite weird hobby of food costuming. I

170
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: ran the five K in a handmade sequined Carmen Miranda

171
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: inspired tomato salad costume, complete with bib lettuce ruffles, bedazzled

172
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: tomato slices, and a salad dressing and cruton headpiece. Pictures included,

173
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: and once I dried off from the humid race, I

174
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: competed in the costume contest and got second place. Thank

175
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: you very much. There aren't many events that could convince

176
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: me to take a trip down south in the aggressive

177
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: heat of August, which I'm sure you know all about

178
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: in Georgia, but I encourage you to head down to

179
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: Nashville for this truly unique summer food festival. It's an

180
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: experience you won't forget the Yeah, you are amazing, this stunning.

181
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 2: Costume is so cool, and I forget I Okay. So somehow,

182
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: as I was like breezing through because it Annie compiles

183
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: these as she is very awesome to do, and as

184
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: I was breezing through this email on my first read,

185
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 2: I somehow missed that you had run a five K

186
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,359
Speaker 2: in this costume, that this costume was five K compliant,

187
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: like that you could in fact make time in this

188
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: costume because there are fringed gloves. The I mean, the

189
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: skirt is truly lettuce ruffled. It is beautiful. There are

190
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: opportunistically placed tomato slices that are so shiny. The head piece,

191
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: the head piece I believe has some hidden valley in there.

192
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: Yes, you know.

193
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: And it also it also looks comfy.

194
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: It does. Oh yeah, it's like it looks like the

195
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: most you can do while still being cool, like temperature wise. Yeah, yeah,

196
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: it's it's it feels very smart in terms of thinking

197
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: about I have to run a race in this yeah yeah,

198
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: but also just doesn't hold back and how amazing it.

199
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: Is yeah no, zero percent. Oh yeah, I know. This

200
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: is stunning and thank you, thank you for sharing it

201
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: with us.

202
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you and weird hobby of food hastening that

203
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: this is not weird too, We love it. No, keep

204
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: it up. Yeah you should have gotten first place.

205
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: Also, I'm so mad at literally everyone I've ever met

206
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 2: for never for never telling me that this thing happens,

207
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: because I want to go to a tomato art fest.

208
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: Me to thank you so much about this. This is

209
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: like neck so much a thing we would love.

210
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is yeah, we live in the Sally already

211
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: that yes, yeah.

212
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is what we need you listeners for,

213
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: is to let us know about these guests.

214
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Heck, okay, well we do. We do

215
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: have more of you listeners telling us more things we

216
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: already probably should have known. But first we've got a

217
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: quick break for a word from our sponsors.

218
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: They we're back.

219
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: Thank you, sponsor, Yes, thank you. And Kelly wrote, I've

220
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: just finished listening to your episode on Ramene and wanted

221
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: to give you my take on the nostalgic aspects. From

222
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: my experience, every consumer of Ramenee I knew was also

223
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: big into anime and manga. It was always sought after

224
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: it anime conventions and bought its specialty stores. The nostalgia

225
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: aspect I think comes from that of being a geeky

226
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: millennial slash gen z kid in the two thousands and

227
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: twenty teens and the dip in romine sales, in addition

228
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: to the tourism aspect, may have also been affected by

229
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: the lack of a convention season in twenty twenty where

230
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: people buy it in droves. The specialty stores I mentioned

231
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: may also have been affected by this, sadly not being

232
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: seen as essential if they didn't also sell groceries. That's

233
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: just my guess though. Oh yeah, yeah, most of the

234
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 2: numbers I was looking at were sales in Japan specifically,

235
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: but I'm sure that they also included a little bit

236
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: of international trade. And certainly I mean right, like the

237
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: lack of conventions and twenty twenty bleeding into twenty twenty

238
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: one and even through today, drops in convention traffic are

239
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: probably affecting that.

240
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and that totally makes sense to me. There

241
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: are so many things we talked about in here where

242
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: maybe I don't have personal experience with but super producer Andrew,

243
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: who was part of the inspiration for that episode, we'll

244
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: pipe in with a Pokemon fact or something like that,

245
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: And it totally makes sense to me that that would

246
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: become a thing where you're like, oh, I want to

247
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: get this because I heard about it in the show

248
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: or something.

249
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, like jelly donuts. You know you just really.

250
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: I love that so oh.

251
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: Episode for that. Yeah, anyway, yes.

252
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: See our Pokemon episode for that. And also, happy belated

253
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: birthday to super producer Dylan.

254
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: Yes, oh heck, absolutely, Oh what a good human, the best,

255
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: the best.

256
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: I sent him a gift of Sesame Street and Star Wars.

257
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Of course he was like, this is the best thing

258
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, because he's nice like that. But yes,

259
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: he is much beloved on the team. Also a big

260
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: Pokemon fan. At the very least he sings the song

261
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: at karaoke.

262
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very passionately.

263
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: Oh so talent talent. Mic wrote, while listening to your

264
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: recent fudge episode, I kept thinking of this cookbook I

265
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: recently got with a recipe for Velveda fudge. At first

266
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: I thought how disgusting, But I now am considering making

267
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: and trying. Thought i'd share and attach a photo of

268
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: book and recipe. Book is Baking Yesteryear by B. Dylan Hollis. Hmm,

269
00:17:54,640 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: I I can see it. It's hard to see, but

270
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: I can see.

271
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that. Okay, So once you consider that

272
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: a salty and sweet go well together, okay, and b

273
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: once you consider that the inherent meltability and like like

274
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: built in emultification properties of Elveta are going to really

275
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: help out a fudge recipe in terms of like it's

276
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: setting up and not crystallizing on you. I could see.

277
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: I could see it being a very useful ingredient. Yeah,

278
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: it still sounds awful when you just say it out loud.

279
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: That sounds like the worst thing.

280
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: It sounds like one of those things like texture wise,

281
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: I can really see that. Okay, flavor wise is where

282
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay.

283
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 2: No, man, if you like a salty peanut butter with

284
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: with a fudge, then why not salted cheese.

285
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: You're right, yeah, I probably would like it. It reminds

286
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: me of We've had a lot of listeners write in

287
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: about tomato cake.

288
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: Oh right, tomato supercake.

289
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, yeah, totally yeah, And I I think it's

290
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: just something we're going to have to experience.

291
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. Absolutely truth. Yeah, the truth is out there,

292
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: and it might be Alvita fudge.

293
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might be. It might be, but it might be.

294
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: Hmm Okay. Vivian wrote, I just wanted to say that

295
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: it was interesting to learn that scientists compared Kiwi's to

296
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: peaches when studying the former. The Chinese name for kiwi

297
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: is actually macaque peach. I've wondered all my life what

298
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: the similarity was between Kiwi's and peaches. In Chinese tradition,

299
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: monkeys are typically associated with peaches, like the Monkey King

300
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: and the Peaches of Immortality. So I had just figured

301
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: that the ancients decided that whatever fruit the macacus we're

302
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: eating must also be peach.

303
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: Like hmmm, that makes sense.

304
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, good connection.

305
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do love these when we hear from

306
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: people who have more knowledge than we do about the

307
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: etymology part or the tradition's part of the stories part,

308
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: what's going on perhaps behind behind the research that we do.

309
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: So that is interesting because we talked about that that

310
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: the Macaqus loved Kiwi and that was part of why

311
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: they got the name. But yeah, this is interesting too. Yeah,

312
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: related to peaches.

313
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah no, and absolutely I had totally forgotten about about

314
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: like Chinese mythology and peaches and the monkey king and

315
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 2: all of that kind of stuff.

316
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: Is it?

317
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 2: Is it macaque? I might be saying it wrong anyway, Uh,

318
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: here we go, Here we go. Find the pronunciation always.

319
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: Always, That's sort of the whole point, you know. Well,

320
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: speaking of Kiwi aver Rope, I just finished listening to

321
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: your Kiwi episode and felt I should write in about

322
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: the Siberian Kiwi, Arctic Kiwii, Hardy, Kiwi ka we Berry.

323
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: Those are a lot of slashes in between all of

324
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: those things.

325
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, same different names for the same thing. Yeah.

326
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Yes, These little buddies have a million names and are

327
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: one of my favorite plants I have in my garden.

328
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: First of all, they are super hardy. I live in

329
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: the Canadian Prairies and it regularly gets to negative forty

330
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: degrees in the winter. The vines lose all their leaves

331
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: in the fall, but leaf out quickly in the spring.

332
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: They require no special care and can handle drought and

333
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: heat as well. Super easy to grow as long as

334
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: you have a trellis or a fence for them to climb.

335
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: The plant has a lovely foliage that gets gorgeous pink

336
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: and white variegation in the spring and produces so much

337
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: fruit once established. The kiwis themselves are about the size

338
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: of an elongated blueberry, or like a slightly rounder has

339
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: gap if you're familiar with that delicious berry. I am not,

340
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: but I want to know. Yeah, my vines are about

341
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: eight years old and we have hundreds of fruit this year.

342
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: I go out every day and pick a few handfuls

343
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 1: that immediately get devoured by my toddler. The only challenge

344
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: with them is that it's really hard to know when

345
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: they are ripe. They have a smooth green skin that

346
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: gets slightly translucent when ripe, so you've got to look

347
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: closely or gently squeeze each one, and if you don't

348
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: catch them in time, the wasp have a field day.

349
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: On the inside, they look just like a big kiwi,

350
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: and they taste quite similar to I feel like they

351
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: are sweeter and lack some of the acidity of their

352
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: full sized cousins. It's so easy to pop them in

353
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: your mouth, and they are so cute that it's totally

354
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: worth planting a few vines. Oh right, Oh, I want

355
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 1: to know more about this.

356
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and see, I'm I'm starting to think about about

357
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 2: new garden possibilities because now that I have a real,

358
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: like a permanent home that I can do whatever I

359
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: want with, I can plant a whole garden. I don't

360
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: have to live out of out of pots anymore, or

361
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 2: my garden doesn't have to live out of pots anymore.

362
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 2: I wasn't personally living in pots. But I don't know.

363
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 2: I take the fifth, but yeah, oh that sounds that

364
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: sounds really cool.

365
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you and you could plead the

366
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: fifth again. Oh okay, huh did your avocado tree? Did

367
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: it make it?

368
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: Okay? So one of them is currently my my roommate

369
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: has uh has has a theater that she helps run

370
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: in town, and so one of them is living in

371
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: the lobby of that theater, one of them. I'm gonna

372
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and say with love that, despite

373
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: her best efforts, has survived, and because it was living

374
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 2: in the back of her pickup truck for an unreasonably

375
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: long period of time. But despite that, it has started

376
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: new growth, and we are very excited. We might in

377
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 2: fact find a corner of the yard to plant such

378
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: an avocado tree in which upon which it might actually flower.

379
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 2: That'd be cool, It would be pretty cool. I think,

380
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: I think avocados. I think that kind of avocado at

381
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: the very least needs a dude in a lady avocado

382
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: tree to make it happen. But we'll see, we'll see

383
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: what happens.

384
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it takes two to tango on the condo. I see.

385
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: I as I said, I went home and visited my

386
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: mom for her birthday, and I have discovered they are

387
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: no longer blackberries. That growth.

388
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah that's sad.

389
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, but I you know, at least

390
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: case closed on that one. Okay, Yeah, well, we do

391
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: have a little bit more listenermail for you.

392
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: We do, but first we've got one more quick break

393
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: for a word from our sponsors.

394
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: And we're back.

395
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 2: Thank you sponsor, Yes, thank you, and okay. Eric wrote

396
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: a few things that we are going to condense into

397
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: into one segment here can openers. Was a fun revisit

398
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: to hear. Why did I completely forget that Lauren wants

399
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: to push William Shatner out of a plane? I guess

400
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: the real question what started the beef with Lauren and William? Ah,

401
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: congrats on the book. Fun hearing Samantha on with the

402
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: two of you, just a fun, natural conversation. I'm thinking

403
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: we need to put together some wine and a charcuterie

404
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 2: platter for you to celebrate. Love Kiwi and such a

405
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: fun episode. I can imagine a Kiwi unmatch dot com

406
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 2: hoping and getting rejected or would it go on Farmers Only? Annie,

407
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: you have us worried about their dating lives now and

408
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: love the kitchen mishaps. That's why we love the two

409
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: of you. You are not chefs, but just regular people.

410
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: We all have mishaps, mistakes, confusion, et cetera. I love

411
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: what you share with us. I'm sure your listeners cover

412
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: the full spectrum in the kitchen, but we have all

413
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: done something well, not exactly right. We want the geeky,

414
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: nerdy off the wall takes on this stuff. Have you

415
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 2: done an episode on fish sauce. I know you've done

416
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: different condiments and sauces, but I don't recall a specific

417
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: one on fish sauce. That could be interesting. It's so versatile.

418
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 2: The smell can takes some getting used to, as well

419
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 2: as how to use it, but it can add so

420
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: much to things to me when used right. You don't

421
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 2: know that it's in the dish, but the way it

422
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: opens everything up is wow. Just a dash or two

423
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: mixed into barbecue sauce, A couple dashes and some fa

424
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 2: or ramen key to making fried rice at home, one

425
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 2: of those things that in a side by side of

426
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 2: a dish with and without, you'll probably take the one

427
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: with because it just tastes better. I added two small

428
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: dashes to my homemade white barbecue sauce tonight, and yep.

429
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 2: I have a feeling that good ones have a naturally

430
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: occurring MSG factor around them, and I think you've touched

431
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: on MSG, if not a full episode, but if you haven't,

432
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: that could be another good one unfairly vilified. As you say,

433
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: bodies are different and some people need to stay away.

434
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: But there is a reason it's known as makes stuff good.

435
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 2: To be polite, always look forward to the episodes and

436
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 2: wonder how long it will take before Gray Cat locks

437
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 2: Lauren out. Congrats on the house, Lauren.

438
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: If we all look forward to that.

439
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, no, I mean I mean place your

440
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: bets now.

441
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: Folks that we had to delay this a little bit

442
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: because you were like, I gotta go feed the cat.

443
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, no, so so wet food a clock.

444
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 2: He does not wake me up in the morning for

445
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: food because I free feed him. I'm lucky that I

446
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 2: can free feed him and he doesn't go too crazy

447
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: about it. But wet food a clock is right around

448
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 2: five to six pm. And we got started right around

449
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: five pm, and I was like, this cat is going

450
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: to eat my eyeballs. They do not give him wet

451
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: food right now, so hold on, just hold on just

452
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: two minutes. Yeah, yeah, it's.

453
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: Only a matter of time. But yeah, today it was. Yeah,

454
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: we're able to avoid it is for now for now. Yeah,

455
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: we haven't done. We've done a lot of things that

456
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: fall under fish sauce but we haven't done I wouldn't

457
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: say we've done like, no whole episode on fish.

458
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: And we do. We do need to, We do need to.

459
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: I mean there are there are a few different types

460
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: and like right, and it gets very specific and the

461
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: fermentation is so cool. We have done garam but not yeah,

462
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: not Asian styles a fish sauce.

463
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, right, and I do agree. It is something

464
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: that you know you can put just a couple drops

465
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: in and you can.

466
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: It's so good.

467
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just adds like a depth. It just adds something.

468
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: And even if you don't necessarily pick up on it,

469
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: you pick up when it it's not there for sure,

470
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure, I believe Lauren wants to push

471
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: William Shatner out of a plane. I think that's a

472
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: twy Light Zone reference. Yeah, she has a beef that no.

473
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no, that's totally a Twilight Zone reference. Uh. No,

474
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: particular animus between me and Bill Shatner. I don't. I

475
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: don't know the guy. He's not my favorite Star Trek captain. Sorry,

476
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. No, it's a dramatic statement.

477
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't particularly have any steaks, but yeah, it

478
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: did come up when I again, when I visited my mom,

479
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: because she's gotten really into recording old things. Okay, like

480
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: she's discovered how to do it, so now she's recording everything.

481
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.

482
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 1: She was talking to me about all these old Twilight

483
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: Zone episodes which I have watched, and it was just funny.

484
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: She was like, did you know William Shatner was in one?

485
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: I was like, I think he was in.

486
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no before before the movie

487
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: version of twilight Zone, in which John Lithgow reprised the role. Yeah,

488
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: in the in the episode of the Twilight Zone there's

489
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: something oh on the wing off the plane. Uh yeah,

490
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: that was that was Billiam Shatner.

491
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: So that was really good.

492
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: I was it, thank you.

493
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: I was I because you know, I've been working on

494
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: that since like the second year we're doing this and

495
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: I have not gotten any closer. So that was pretty good.

496
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: I liked it. Okay. So we did actually get a.

497
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: Letter, a physical piece of paperwork with writing on it.

498
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the handwriting is lovely from Joe who sent

499
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: us some tablae and I hope I'm not buttraying that

500
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: and a letter with a recipe. So we wanted to

501
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: read the letter. Hello, Hello, Hello, how strange to be

502
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: actually writing to you. Enclosed is as promised, a bag

503
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,480

00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: down two recipes courtesy of my dad and my aunt.

505
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy them as much as I do,

00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: especially once the weather gets cooler. Thanks again for being

507
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: my favorite podcast, all the best, Joe PS. These tablea

508
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: are already sweetened, but feel free to add sugar to taste.

509
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: And thank you. First of all, that's amazing. Oh my goodness, yes, yes,

510
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: and I love so. I won't read the recipes, but

511
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: if anybody wants them with Joe's permission, I'm sure them.

512
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: But I love how on the back it continues to

513
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: the back of the card and it says you can

514
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: add with either evaporated milk Dad's preference or coconut milk

515
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: my aunt's preference.

516
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: Oh.

517
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: I just love when those specificities of preferences. But yeah,

518
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: I have it again. I will not use it all

519
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: the next time we see each other, but we really

Speaker 1: this out and sending that to us. Thank you.

522
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my goodness, oh heck, yes, yeah, no, never

523
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: never expected. You don't owe us anything for this free

524
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: podcast that you do us a favor by listening to.

525
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: That's a save or favor right there. Yeah, but but no,

526

Speaker 2: so so much appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing

527

Speaker 2: things that are important to you. Yes, speaking of Susan wrote,

528
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: how is it that Annie Reese, Robert Lamb, and Joe

529
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: McCormick have all never read Banicula?

530
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: What?

531
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: It's a good physical address to send male books, et

532
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: cetera to you? So I can send something to We're

533
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: remedying this situation asap.

534
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: This is great.

535
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: I had no idea about Rob and Joe, but right this,

536
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 2: right like, this was an important series of books to

537
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: my childhood. And I am offended, Sirs and Madam.

538
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: I like how Susan was like, no more, I will

539
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: not let this stand a second longer.

540
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, this aggression shall not stand. Well, uh is

541
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 2: here we do actually have an office that you can

542
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: mail things to.

543
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: Now we do.

544
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 2: We don't get there. We don't get there very often,

545
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: to be honest, but uh but yeah, yeah, some.

546
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: Of our co do, yes, and they let us know.

547
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: I would recommend if you if you're sending us something

548
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: which again, we do not expect, but if there is something,

549
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: just let us know because otherwise we might never go there,

550
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: especially if it's perishable.

551
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: Oh goodness, oh my goodness. Definitely let us know then.

552
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, but we do have a I don't know it,

553
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: but we do have one, and if you email us

554
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: I have it that I can find it.

555
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally not off the top of my head either.

556
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

557
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, right. However, I need to unpack my books, which

558
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: is actually a very daunting prospect because I have a

559
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 2: great number of books and they are literally all in

560
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: boxes right now. And that's thank you so much to

561
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: my friends who brought those into my home and up

562
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: to weird little flights of stairs because I bought a

563
00:35:53,600 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 2: split level. So yes, yeah, once I open those up,

564
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 2: I strongly believe that I have a copy of Binicula

565
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 2: in there that I can pass around. But I mean,

566
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 2: Robert and Joe both have kids that they should probably

567
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: they should probably have copies Oficula in their own you know,

568
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 2: I'm pretty.

569
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: Shocked they hadn't. I'm pretty shocked, I say, as someone

570
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: who also has let me a pass judgment on them.

571
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, slide off of me for.

572
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,160
