1
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to save her protection of iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm Annie Reese, an unlearned vocal bamb and today we

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: have another episode of Listener Mail.

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: Yes, the seventeenth, the seventeenth.

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure, goodness, I know, I know, and it

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: feels very dramatic for a reason that I can't put

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: my finger on.

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the possibility of puns that I have shared

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: because it's storming record this, but this is very like

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: in my head the line from Rise of Skywalker the

11
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: Dead Speak. That's the vibe I'm entering this, all.

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: Right, okay, good, thank you DM for that vibe chat that.

13
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Which we will be talking about our recent d D

14
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: and ventures at the end. Yes, yes, but as you know,

15
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: we love these we love hearing from you, we love

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: how you interact with each other. Yes, so so good.

17
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: And we have received a lot of mail recently, especially

18
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: about Curry Worst, which is excellent.

19
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, so good.

20
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm gonna toss this first one to you, yea, Lauren?

21
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, cool, cool, cool, all right. So John wrote,

22
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: I've fallen behind and I just listened to the MATSA

23
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: episode is squared away and I wanted to share a

24
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: couple of things with you both. First, while I'm not Jewish,

25
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: I was raised Unitarian. My ex wife, like Lauren, is

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: culturally Jewish, and we would often visit her more devout

27
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: relatives for the holidays, including Passover. On one such visit,

28
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: I did the thing, the thing you're not supposed to do.

29
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: I ate something from the sideboard of goodies her cousin

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: had laid out because I was hungry and Sator was

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: not due to start for some time, and I figured

32
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: these are sitting here, they must be appetizers. The kids

33
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: around me, looking shocked should have been my warning, but

34
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: I did it anyway, and the look I got from

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: her cousin implied I had committed a sin worthy of

36
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: eternal punishment, just the sort of thing I imagine Annie

37
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: was afraid of doing when she went to Sadar. Second,

38
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: I too like making matz of ball soup from scratch,

39
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: but as the mots of meal is kind of pricey,

40
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: I simply take any broken crackers from a box and

41
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: toss in my food processor to create what I called

42
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: not so meal, which I used to make my nuts

43
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: of ball soup. It is virtually identical in taste, though

44
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: perhaps a bit denser in texture to ones made using

45
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: mots of meal, and I make it out of what

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: would otherwise be unusable crumbs. I do like to experiment

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: with it a bit, adding dried spices to the mix

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: and using Japanese toasted sesame oil instead of vegetable oil

49
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: to add more flavor to the balls. I've even used

50
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: fresh garlic and Chinese hot oil for nats of balls

51
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: with a real kick. I feel that I should mention

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: that I don't add cheese crackers to my notts of

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: meal because I save those crumbs for topping my mac

54
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: and cheese.

55
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: Oh oh.

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my goodness.

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: Right, Yes, I still haven't had any but these variations

58
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: really Chinese hot oil.

59
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm really falling down on my responsibility as a culturally

60
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: Jewish person.

61
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that, but I do want this.

62
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, well that's still in the works.

63
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: Still in the works. I a couple comments about this, Yeah, totally.

64
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, like like make like like make

65
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: do with whatever you have. It's great to you know,

66
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: reduce food waste and make something delicious and creative while

67
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: you're at it. B Yeah, like playing with different like

68
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: like oils with a little bit of a stronger flavor

69
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: than you know, like just vegetable oil is great. I

70
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: personally like a really strong olive oil in mind sometimes

71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: because it just I don't know, like it adds more.

72
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: It kind of plays with a dill that I put in,

73
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: and that's fun. Also, also, there is a restaurant here

74
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: in Atlanta called Little Bear that has a whole menu.

75
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: Like it started it's like a Christmas pop up stick,

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: but it's just become sort of their permanent stick. It's

77
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: like Jewish Chinese dinners. So it's a lot of stuff

78
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: like yeah, like like like mansa balls with with a

79
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: with a hot sash button oil or something like that,

80
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: and they do really great stuff. I totally recommend checking

81
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: them out. And also, right, this sounds exactly like like

82
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: that same alley way and I want to live there, so.

83
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds so good. And yes to using the

84
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: crumbs to top your mac and cheese, oh cheese crackers.

85
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: And also, yeah, what you described is exactly the fear

86
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: that I had. I went to say, That's why I

87
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: just sat there and observed very sharply what was going on.

88
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: Didn't do anything until someone else told me to do it.

89
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: On the plus side, Jewish people generally don't believe in

90
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: eternal punishment, so you're okay there, Oh.

91
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: That's good, that's nice. Okay, I like that all right. Well,

92
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Christine sent us a couple of messages. Here's the first.

93
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: I was listening to older episodes again and heard the

94
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: one about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Being a

95
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: lifelong nerd. It's a favorite of mine as well. I

96
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: also discovered Douglas at in high school. In fact, in

97
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: a drama assessment where we had to do a monologue,

98
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: I recited the thoughts of the missile turned whale as

99
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: it plummeted to the surface of Margarthia mcgrathia mcgrathia. And

100
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: this got me thinking, have you done a series looking

101
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: at the food of Terry Pratchett's Discworld. There is a

102
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: lot of fantastic food in the series, from dried frog

103
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: pills as antidepressants, llucinogens, chocolate coated coffee beans as offensive weapons,

104
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: commander vibes, four food groups, sugar, salt, starch and burnt

105
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: fried crunchy bits, dwarves, battle bread and rat based delicacies,

106
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: and so many things. There is even an official Discworld

107
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: cookbook based on the recipes of Lancra of Lancra, which

108
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: Nanny ogg. We have not done a Discworld, but I

109
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: will say several people have written.

110
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually I'm this is one of my like

111
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: nerud failings. I have not read any Discworld books ever.

112
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: Oh I know, I know, well, I mean, here, here

113
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: we go.

114
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: Apparently now was the time we have received the call.

115
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: I mean I love Terry Pratchett. I uh like, like

116
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: as a general human person, I really enjoyed reading good Omens.

117
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 2: The series has been so cute on TV.

118
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but trailer came out.

119
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: Oh man, I am too excited about it too, too

120
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: too excited. But yeah, yeah, okay, all right done.

121
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: Cool. It doesn't take much, honestly.

122
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, oh no, you have to read something you're

123
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: going to enjoy and then talk about the food in it.

124
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: Like yeah. I had a friend in college who Discworld

125
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: was like one of her pillars. She loved it, and

126
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: she talked to me about it all the time. I

127
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: haven't read all of it, but I've read a lot

128
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: of it, and actually we get requests to talk about

129
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: it on stuff. One never told you, Oh yeah, yeah,

130
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: but I don't remember the food at all, so this

131
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: is a really interesting I would be very interested to

132
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: research it. Cool.

133
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, There you go. Christine then followed

134
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: up with I'm writing this in the ad breaks of

135
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: Australian Master Chef. They're working with whole Fish, so I'm

136
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: paying close attention. Earlier this evening though I listened to

137
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: your episode about airline food, which was definitely recorded pre pandemic.

138
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: This immediately brought to mind two of my most sublime

139
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: food experiences. Yes, two sublime food experiences from airline food

140
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: in economy class within a week of each other. In

141
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine, I was fortunate enough to go on

142
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: a Girl Guide event in Switzerland. I have no memory

143
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: of what we on the journeys between Sydney and London

144
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: and back, so it was probably typical airline food. I

145
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: do remember springing tea all over my trade table and

146
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: choking on breakfast at some point because I was watching

147
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,359
Speaker 2: Red Dwarf. It was the last day from season three.

148
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: The flights from London to Zurich and back, though I

149
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: still sigh. On the trip to Zurich, we were served

150
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 2: portions of Scottish oak smoked trout with a zesty micro

151
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: erb salad and oat bread. The trout was beautifully sweet

152
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: and rich, but with a slightly tangy taste from the smoking.

153
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 2: We mostly have rainbow or ocean trout in Australia, which

154
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: has a less sweet taste and tougher meat, but still delicious.

155
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: But I would love to find somewhere that I could

156
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: get brown trout at prices where I'm not eating instant

157
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: noodles for the rest of the week. As it happened,

158
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: no one else in the Girl Guide party liked fish,

159
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: so I was able to eat five portions heaven. Then

160
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: on the leg back to London from Zurich, we were

161
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: served a selection of Italian cured meats and cheeses. It

162
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: was my first taste of oh heck, okay uh, I'm

163
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: just gonna try to do this phonetically. I'm so sorry

164
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: if I butcher itt uh ressola and Delta latte the

165
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: only blue cheese I like to eat, and I was

166
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: able to eat pig products then, so comparing Sardinian clsica

167
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: celica uh to Milanese salami was bliss without the awful

168
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: after effects I would suffer now, and once again my

169
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: travel companions didn't like much of what was on offer,

170
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: so once again I got too stuffed my happy little

171
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: face with wonderful food. People still don't believe me when

172
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: I tell them I scored two such wonderful meals on airlines.

173
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 2: I suppose Europeans demand better.

174
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow, those cent ama, Like that sounds better than

175
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: a lot of meals I just have at restaurant.

176
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, that sounds really good.

177
00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh my gosh, like this fish Scottish smoked trout

178
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: with a zesty microorb salad.

179
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: Right wow, I mean cool, I mean heck ya, god,

180
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: I do love a trout so so tasty.

181
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: I do too, And I feel like I talked about

182
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: in that episode, and we discussed it in some of

183
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: our travel episodes. But I think specific airlines, and especially

184
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: like if you're going somewhere far away or like touristy,

185
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: they do really go above and beyond because they want

186
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: you to kind of talk up this, like here's why

187
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: you should make this journey.

188
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and right. I have limited experience with it,

189
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: but for sure, if you're going internationally, they're like, hey, hey,

190
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: it's a long flight, so we want to keep you

191
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: happy and be it's a long flight, so we want

192
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: to keep you right.

193
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: Right, uh, And I talked about my trip to Australia.

194
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: I was shocked by all of the things they gave

195
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: me on the plane and it was so good. And

196
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: then we had a really good uh to Hawaii. We

197
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: had a really good experience with that one.

198
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

199
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I did. I feel like a lot of

200
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: times airlines try to it's almost like touristy of this

201
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: is what we have to offer in this country, Like

202
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm in a share yeah, yeah, so it is. It

203
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: is fascinating. I've had I've had things on airplanes that

204
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: I've never had, like romanesque cauliflower.

205
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: Oh right, yeah.

206
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never had it on the on the ground level,

207
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: but on a plane, I have had it.

208
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: Oh oh and I okay, So so Annie, I sent

209
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: you this text message, but I wanted to update everyone else.

210
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: If y'all remember our asparagus episode. We talked about white

211
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: asparagus and and all of these like kind of reviews

212
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: from from literature and human people saying how amazing white asparaguses,

213
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: and both of us were like, we've literally never seen that,

214
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: let alone had a chance to eat it. I had

215
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: a chance to eat it at my birthday meal.

216
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: It was so good.

217
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: It was. It was just lovely and delicate. And I've

218
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: had some very very very good, like fresh asparagus this

219
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: asparagus season. I'm really liking it.

220
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I'm jealous. You've sent that picture and I

221
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: was like, where can I go? What must I do? Meanwhile,

222
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: I have one more serving of Taylor Ham left, all right,

223
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: so this is your final chance. It's been delicious. I

224
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: added hot sauce to it yesterday, and you can yell

225
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: at me if you want, but I love hot sauce,

226
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: and I added topic thing, so I was just like,

227
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: maybe a little, but it's yeah, yeah, excellent. All right,

228
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: we're slowly working through our list of foods. We have

229
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: to dry very very slowly, very slowly. Yes, And then

230
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: Emily wrote the subject line was like checking in with

231
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: green Bean. No, it was green Bean as an adult

232
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: now or something like that. If you don't remember, we

233
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: read in a past I believe it was a Listener

234
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: mail episode. But green Bean is a frog that Emily

235
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: and I believe her daughter was taken care of. He

236
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: had a crown. Yes, very cute. So that was the

237
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: subject line. And I immediately I'm like, oh, I've got

238
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: to read this within, Emily wrote, as I lay in

239
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: bed listening to my comfort podcast. Of course, you guys,

240
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: I had a thought. I'm not sure if there's enough

241
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: material out there for a whole episode, but could there

242
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: be something to be done with the subject of safe

243
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: foods If you're not familiar, it's a common thing with

244
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: autistics like myself or other neurodivergence with sensory sensitivities that

245
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: we have certain foods that we can eat when other

246
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: foods are simply not possible to consume. It sounds simple,

247
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: but it actually can be a huge deal, as eating

248
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: can be a really difficult thing to do for us.

249
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: There can be some stigma attached because most save foods

250
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: are unhealthy prepackaged foods like chicken tenders, pop tarts, or

251
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: tater tots. More understanding about why ND folks neurodivergent folks

252
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: can be so seemingly picky can really help to relieve

253
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: some pressure around the subject, especially with kids. They're not

254
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: being difficult. They really want to eat, but it's so

255
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: much more complicated for us, or maybe not. Either way,

256
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: I enjoy having a reason to write in especially about

257
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: something dear to my heart and attach is a picture of.

258
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: Green Bean, yes, looking very regal and oh my slightly

259
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: confused but regal nonetheless.

260
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, like perfectly posed, I have to say, green Bean.

261
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, And like this is a look that my

262
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: camera Oh yeah, no, absolutely, he's giving us a good

263
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: like three quarter profile, which I'm appreciating. But also this

264
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: is totally a look that my cat gives me where

265
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, man, like you look heck and majestic

266
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: right now. And also I can tell your two brain

267
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: cells are really working over time just to process reality.

268
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, that's definitely the same, the same vibe.

269
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I love it, and I think this is

270
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: a great This would be a great topic. I don't

271
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: think i'd ever heard of this specifically really yeah, like

272
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: in these terms, but I like when I read it,

273
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, I know what that is.

274
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard it indirect terms.

275
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've I have some friends who are parents

276
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: of people with sensory issues like this, or or some

277
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: friends who have sensory issues like this themselves, And absolutely

278
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: it can be it's so frustrating to run into stigma

279
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: against it because it's like like like y'all like like

280
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: let people eat what they like. Like it's right, you know,

281
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: don't make it. Don't make it an unpleasant experience. That's

282
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: not the point.

283
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: No, no, and chicken nuggets are amazing, right, none of

284
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: my business. Like I have some of my fridge right now,

285
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: so I'm into it. I think that's a great idea.

286
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Josh wrote, Hi, I've listened to a few

287
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: episodes recently where you wondered if there was a superhero

288
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: with eating powers, and there are a few I can

289
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: think of, but my favorite is a comic book called

290
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: eat Man, who can form any inorganic object from his

291
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: body by consuming a portion of it. It's a fun read. Okay,

292
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 2: thanks by.

293
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: This sounds fat, fascinating, this.

294
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: Sounds real weird. I do, thank you. That's great.

295
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: It is it is. I want to check it out.

296
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: It does sound very strange, but I think that's right

297
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: up our alley. So yes, well, we do have some

298
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: more listener mail for you.

299
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: We do, but first we've got a quick break forward

300
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 2: from our sponsors and we're back.

301
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: Thank you sponsors, Yes, thank you. And I have to

302
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: say I had a plan and it kind of backfired

303
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: on me. Okay, yes, I am usually the one that

304
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: compiles these, and I thank you, oh well, of course,

305
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: but sometimes I try to make sure Lauren reads a

306
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: certain one that I think it's going to be difficult,

307
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: so I don't have to read it, and I figure

308
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of my toll.

309
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it is, it is. Okay, So did you

310
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: not intend to give yourself this one? Do you want?

311
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: Do you want me to do it? Yes?

312
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: Yes, you're the best.

313
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, okay, all right, all right, all right. So, so,

314
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: so what happened is that Jared sent us in a

315
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 2: song that he thought we might appreciate. It's a song

316
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: by the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard called

317
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 2: Big Fig Wasp. The song is called Big Fig Wasp.

318
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: If y'all aren't familiar with King Gizzard. It's actually a

319
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: favorite among a lot of the production team here at

320
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: iHeart so like, I I know that I'm pretty sure

321
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: producer Andrew has gone and seen these folks any number

322
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: of times, and right, so it's as as they tend

323
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 2: to be. It's like a sort of like fun be

324
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: song about fig fig wasps.

325
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: And.

326
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: I can't really like without like a lot of guitar involved,

327
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: I can't really like imitate the vocal structure, right, but

328
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: but but all right, just to just to give you

329
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: all the vibe, Eddie Wasp by sea, it's a fig wasp,

330
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: pearly guillotine. It's a fig wasp. When the harvest is clean,

331
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 2: it's a fig wasp. It's a winged machine. It's a

332
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: fig wasp. Does your God know? Insects grow in my palm?

333
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: Big fig wasp, Big fig wasp, feison eating corpses, there's

334
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: a hornet in my throat. Big fig wasp, big fig wasp.

335
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: It goes on for quite a bit. But I'm not

336
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna that's that's what you get. You're you're

00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm gonna guess a lot of you are

Speaker 1: intrigued because you're listening to this, So yeah, definitely go

Speaker 1: check it out. But as we've said, we're big fans

342
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: of the fig Wasp. Oh yeah, the first things we

343
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 1: talked about when we talked about doing this show. So

344
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: it's it's only fitting to me that it does have

345
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: a whole song dedicated.

346
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely right, and yeah yeah, what a and what

347
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: a fun song. It is so good.

348
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: Yes, definitely do and we do love food based song

349
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: poetry art, you know.

350
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, oh clearly, Okay, all right, are you

351
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: good to go back into the normal? Did you want

352
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: to do this next one?

353
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, this brings us to all of the Curry

354
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Worst thoughts. So many people wrote in about Curry Worst,

355
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: which is great. I love when we find a dish

356
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: that just hits the rest, you know, m hmm. And

357
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: that was one. So Vincenzo wrote, I haven't even finished

358
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: the episode yet, but I knew I had to get

359
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: Curry Worst tonight. So I did a quick google and

360
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: found yr Brewing Company in Saint Paul. I hope it's

361
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: pronounced with that kind of litlton question mark. Yes, anyway, continued,

362
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: It's not the crispiest brought, but a good one and

363
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: a nice hot and tangy sauce. Cray Worst was a

364
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: small running part of the pandemic. Oddly, since a friend

365
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: of mine ran a weekly happy hour, into running theme

366
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: was talking about Curry Worst, and eventually many members of

367
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: the group made it. This episode may cause me to

368
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: make the sauce again and keep it ready, because this

369
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: is Minnesota and the default sausage when we grow is

370
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: a brought not a hot dog. Well, first of all, yes,

371
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 1: Second of all, I love that this is like a

372
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: happy hour, a cur Worst happy hour Minnesota.

373
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: Man. I yeah, that's spectacular.

374
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: It is so great. I love it. Wow, I love

375
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: I have.

376
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 2: I have some friends from this general area, and I

377
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 2: love picking their brains about all of their food experiences

378
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 2: because there's just it's I mean, and you know, they're

379
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: also curious about stuff that we have in the South

380
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: that they don't get up there. But it's it's always fun.

381
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah that I love that so much.

382
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: I feel like all of my happy hours during the

383
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: pandemic were just like whatever I have in the fridge.

384
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: I like that you had a themed happy hour.

385
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: Oh man, I still haven't gotten curry Worst, Okay.

386
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I looked and I haven't found

387
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: any yet.

388
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 2: Okay, well, uh okay. To continue the cravings, Hannah wrote,

389
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: your recent episode gave me a big crazy for curry Worst.

390
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: They're easy enough to come by here in Humburg, Germany,

391
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: but since I need a vegan version, I thought i'd

392
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: have to either go to the city center on the

393
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: weekend or make my own. To my surprise, though, I

394
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: was able to find a packaged vegan curry Worst at

395
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: my local discount supermarket. It was quite tasty. And now

396
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if it's dangerous that I know I can

397
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: get one so close by.

398
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: This is the difference. This is It shows how pops

399
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: are it is in Germany. I can't find it at

400
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: restaurants on a quick search. I haven't done a deep guy,

401
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: but I couldn't find it. And then it's definitely not

402
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: in stores. But you found a vegan version.

403
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: Right at your local discount supermarkets.

404
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: So cool.

405
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, super producer Andrew did give us the tip that

406
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: sometimes at Halfway Crooks Brewery here in Atlanta, Yeah, they

407
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: do have that as a special sometimes, so they're also

408
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: an excellent brewery. It's a good it's a good reason together.

409
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: It's true. It's true I'm jealous of your curry worst options,

410
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: but I'm very happy that it tasted like you found

411
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: a good began one that tasted really, really nice. Absolutely,

412
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: and then Sheldon wrote, almost ten years ago, a granddaughter

413
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: was born in Germany. My wife and I took a

414
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: trip there for six weeks to help out the new parents.

415
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: We stayed in the city of Goettingen. We didn't butcher

416
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: that and we're pretty much right in the center of town.

417
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: On our first day tour up the city, my daughter

418
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: in law told me to try some curry Worst. We

419
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: went to this small place that had a bunch of

420
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: tall tables in front where you would stand while you eat.

421
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: It was an instant hit with me. Within a few days,

422
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: I had tried curry worst from every place in the city.

423
00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: Then the quest began. I'm an avid cyclist. Times a

424
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: week I would venture out to visit nearby towns. I

425
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: think I covered every town within a fifty kilometer radius,

426
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: including Einbeck, the home of bock Beer. In every town,

427
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: I would try to find somewhere to get curry worst. Unfortunately,

428
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: most of the towns were quite small without much there,

429
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: but I did find some but there is more. Most weekends,

430
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: the whole family would take a train to interesting cities

431
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: to walk around and try their curry worst. My wife

432
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: and I took a two day trip to Berlin, and

433
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: oddly enough, I was disappointed with the curry worst I

434
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: had there. I'm certain that it's because we didn't have

435
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: time to seek out the best ones and just got

436
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: it from the street vendors and touristy areas. The street

437
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: vendors had an interesting contraption which let them walk around

438
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: with their stove. When it was time to leave. It

439
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: was hard for me to think of going without my curry.

440
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: Worst I purchased some storebock curry song. Although the container

441
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: was gone before long, I kept the empty container in

442
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: my Memories museum. I did find that making my own

443
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: was much better than the bottled stuff. Thanks for bringing

444
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: back the memories. Oh that's amazing.

445
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 2: That is amazing. Oh my heck.

446
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: I love that you went on a quest. You're like

447
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: this right, You're like it's time, it's time check it

448
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: out in all these places, and some pictures were attached.

449
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: The contraption for the street menders was quite interesting. Yeah,

450
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: I was trying to remember if that's what I encountered

451
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: in Berlin, but I'm sure I saw it, but I

452
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: think I had it in restaurants like sit down restaurants.

453
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, it is quite popular, and I love that

454
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: you you went out of your way to try all

455
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: that you God.

456
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean once you find something you latch

457
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: onto like that, You're like, okay, and now I can

458
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: get it everywhere great, like okay. Heck, all right, Well

459
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: we do have more about Curry Worst to relate to you,

460
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: but first we've got one more quick break for a

461
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: word from our sponsors, and we're back. Thank you, sponsor, Yes,

462
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 2: thank you. Okay. So Eric wrote about Curry Worst one

463
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: of those things I've always wanted to try. If I

464
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: ever say it around here, I will need to give

465
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: it a shot. Heard so many good things about it.

466
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: I really want to try it in Germany if I can. Now,

467
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: we have to get Annie this mac and cheese jumpsuit

468
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: to model for us. That would be so much fun

469
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: to see wear that on a night out with friends

470
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: and raise all kinds of fun. Like Lauren, the whole

471
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: Stoffer's French Bread pizza thing in college is such a

472
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: remind could generally find a way to wedge in two

473
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 2: boxes into that small freezer space when you get them

474
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: out of the box. If you really wanted to splurge,

475
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: You've got a couple of friends together and bought Stover's

476
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: lasagna and a case of Natty Light sugar. Sculptures are

477
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: really interesting I've seen some great ones in Christmas displays

478
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: and on cruise ships. The amount of effort just amazes me.

479
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 2: I always love to see what people can come up with.

480
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: Some of it is so intricate. As always love the

481
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 2: show and look forward to it. I still hope there

482
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: will be a live show one day. I don't care

483
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: if it goes into tangents and off into the woods.

484
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: It will be an enjoyable show from you. I'll keep

485
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: my fingers crossed.

486
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: Oh dear, yeah, I mean it would definitely go go places.

487
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I mean, that's fun, right. You know,

488
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: you just get the ad break where we actually chat

489
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: through the ad break about random stuff.

490
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, completely random tangents like not even the tangenty here

491
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: in the show.

492
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 2: No, no randomer random er.

493
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: Uh huh yeah, yes uh. I do love like looking

494
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: back at college memories and what you did and what

495
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: was the kind of special right, yeah, special thing? I

496
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: love that so much. But I had I don't know

497
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: if it was Stover's lasagna, but I had a friend

498
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: and that was like her nice thing. She would bring

499
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: refrigerated like freezer lasagna, and it did feel very nice.

500
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: It was like oh yes, why yes, I have a

501
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: lot of good memories attached to it.

502
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: Oh oh, I am happy to report that I finally

503
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 2: did buy a Frods in Lasagna. It's not from us,

504
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: it's not it's not from Stofer's brand, but it is.

505
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: I'm it is like, I'm going to eat it today

506
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: and I'm so excited.

507
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: Oh I'm excited for you, thank you. Yes, yes, I

508
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: I recently had to get groceries delivered because I've busy

509
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: times busy, yeah, yes, yeah yeah, and I ordered kind

510
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: of an embarrassing I had to calculate because I've already

511
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: broken my freezer once and I had to calculate. But

512
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: I ordered a lot of Stofers, and the person who

513
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: delivered it was like, everything, Okay, I don't I don't

514
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: have time to explain to you that we have this

515
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: strange job and now I want so.

516
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: I'm craving Stofers. So I bought a lot of Stofers

517
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: because I deserve Stofers.

518
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: Okay, still not a sponsor, Still not a sponsor.

519
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 2: Still a sponsor.

520
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: But the cravings does hit after we do these episodes.

521
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: A lot of times I'm like, yeah, I gotta get that.

522
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: And when you can get one when it's not something

523
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: that's like a specialty in another country across an ocean.

524
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: You're just like, okay, yeah, no, I'm going to get

525
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: a stofers great.

526
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, oh look at all these flavors. I'll try

527
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Yes. And then Eric later followed

528
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: up with a kind of meme, uh and said, stumbled

529
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: across this and you were the first people I thought of,

530
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: and it said, there ain't no party like a D

531
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: and D party because the D and D party don't

532
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: stop until the healer is dead and we're out of potions. Yeah,

533
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: that's it was well timed. It is it is uh,

534
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: And we finally we had a huge break, but we

535
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: finally met up. Yeah. I got to have a D

536
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: and D hangout.

537
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a really good D and D hangout too,

538
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: Like there was it really hit all the categories like

539
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: we had. We had some really confusing trying to figure

540
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: out what had happened in the previous session, which is

541
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: always my favorite because a few of us take notes.

542
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: But like there's always stuff that Annie has to be like,

543
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: and then this definitely occurred.

544
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: That's maybe important for the future, right, you guys, try

545
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: not to like spoil it.

546
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: But like, maybe you did more than just drink clamado.

547
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: I promise there's end game clmato if we haven't mentioned that,

548
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: and there is.

549
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 1: To me as much as you.

550
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 2: Oh okay, but yeah, but yeah, so we had that

551
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: and we had a good we had a good battle

552
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: and uh, everyone got some good hits in and and

553
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: we got we got some good we got some good

554
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: like like role play, like you got to you got

555
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 2: to do a good, good non player character any I did.

556
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that because oh uh, I'm pretty

557
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: sure I had this idea in the fourth session and

558
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: it was your you said, oh my goodness, you said

559
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: in passing like because this is a very Star Wars

560
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: based campaign, like, oh, I hope we don't meet George Lucas.

561
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, that's it, and that's your

562
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: own rules. You never give the DM ideas. And I

563
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh, because I had this whole thing. It's complicated.

564
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: But there's this whole place called poop Island. A friend

565
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: wrote that's where the DM lives. And so I was

566
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what to do with it. I

567
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: know this makes no sense and I'm not going to

568
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: explain it, but I think it's perfect.

569
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 2: Finally I was like, oh, well, there we go. That's

570
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 2: where George Lucas lives.

571
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And so I was trying to embody him,

572
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: but I also my brain was completely fried, so I

573
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: was like, I don't hope. I feel like that fits

574
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: with his carriage, which is pre though no.

575
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely well okay, So for for a tiny bit of

576
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 2: backstory about why Annie's brain was was fried, y'all over

577
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: on her other show stuff, Mom never told you. They

578
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: wrote a book, Like they wrote a whole book. They

579
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 2: wrote a book, and it's coming out sometime August twenty nine,

580
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 2: August twenty ninth, thank you, thank you. And so last

581
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: week they were recording the audiobook for it. And so

582
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: after like three days of like being like I because

583
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: you know, like like this is this is a casual

584
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: hour of chatting. It's not like what you're doing when

585
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: you're recording an audiobook or something like that. So like,

586
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: after a few days of very intense studio sessions, she

587
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: comes to DM for us and I was loopy, but

588
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: but no, but it worked because he was like the

589
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: version of George Lucas that we met is like sad

590
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: Luke on an island. George Lucas, who is just he's

591
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: possibly a god, and he's really upset that his creation

592
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: has kind of run away from him a little bit.

593
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 2: And so we had to like talk down George Lucas

594
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: about how, actually you don't need to be upset about that,

595
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: because it belongs to the fans now, I mean us,

596
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean the people living in the world,

597
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: I mean what.

598
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: It was very persuasive. It was very funny though, and

599
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: I we haven't even finished a conversation because we were

600
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: going along, so we had to stop it kind of yeah,

601
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: me abrupt, but I did. In my notes, I wrote,

602
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: I didn't read it aloud, but I said, this is

603
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: the last Jedi part of the campaign. Yes, clearly, Poop

604
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: Island is Octo and it's very beautiful.

605
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 2: Our campaign is strange a'all, but it's great. We have

606
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. We entertain ourselves and that's more

607
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: or less the point as far as I can tell.

608
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: So, yes, yes, this does. It was so great. I'm

609
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: so it's we just have a good group. We have fun,

610
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: and I like that I can make very ridiculous puns

611
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: and you can raise your eyebrot me and I'll raise

612
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: my eyebrow back and we're both have on my own

613
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: of like, I see what you did. I like it.

614
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sometimes she'll say something and I just like turn

615
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: and look at her like what.

616
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. The ship is called the Falcon, so what it's fun.

617
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: Oh and also uh, Ethan sent another package of herisa.

618
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's still not a sponsor. Oh and it's
