Full show transcript:
Stumbled upon something gross. Ew, what is it? Tomato soup cake. Gross!
I said it's gross! Okay, but hold on. Emery came home, she took a cooking class in middle school, and she came home with a recipe for a tomato cake. Not tomato soup, but tomato cake. Do you remember what was in it? I don't remember. I still have it. She cooked it in the class and loved it.
Let me tell you what this is. You pour a can of Campbell's tomato soup into a yellow cake batter. Oh, it sounds crazy. It sounds disgusting, but it's actually not new. Tomato soup cake has been around for over 100 years, first appearing in American cookbooks in the 1920s.
It became especially popular during the Great Depression. Yeah, I can tell. Sounds like depressing. Bakers were short on eggs, butter and milk, but tomato soup was around and it added moisture, acidity and structure to simple spice cakes. The recipe took off when Campbell's began promoting it in the 40s, even printing versions on the soup cans. Despite the name, the cake doesn't taste like tomatoes or tomato soup. It's more like pumpkin bread or spice cake, and it's usually topped with cream cheese frosting.
I don't know if I believe that. Are we gonna have to make it? I don't like tomato, Campbell's tomato soup.
So I don't want to make it. But you might like Campbell's tomato cake. You get a yellow cake mix, you get the rich and creamy frosting, you get a can of tomato soup. You open up the cake box, you put it in there, you add your sugar, you add some cinnamon it looked like. And then you add in an egg and you add in a can of the soup and a little extra tomato paste, you stir it all smooth with a whisk, you throw it in, you bake it, you add your cream cheese frosting. Bottom bang, you got yourself tomato soup cake.
It does look like it looks like a carrot cake. Yeah, what it really looks like.
This lady then added some more cinnamon on top and then sliced very thinly sliced tomatoes.
I'm interested to try it. Oh, we're gonna have to make it. You could put walnuts in it. I don't want to. What about raisins? No. What? I'm like, I like raisins and walnuts. Okay.
Go on a hike then, trail mix? I like M &Ms in my trail mix and peanuts and peanut M &Ms.
I'm willing to give it a try.
Let's make it. We'll bring it in. We'll have everybody give it a go.
Okay. We'll make a video. All right, you got to put it on the calendar or we'll forget. Gross. Gross what? I'm not excited about it. I think it'll be okay. It looks like carrot cake. I'm going to pull out Emery's recipe.
Well, I got this recipe right here.
Okay, then make that recipe. What does it even matter?
It doesn't. Let's just make something gross and make everybody work it. All right, sounds good. Here's today's. Oh, go ahead. Put raisins in it. No, gross. Here's today's show. Well, hello. Well, hello. Hello. That's cherry. Thanks. That was super nice and cherry. I try to be cherry friendly. You are up an atom today, it sounds like.
I don't know if I'd say that.
Yeah, I'm up. Okay, but not necessarily Adam. No. Up and Chantel. Is that an Adam joke? That's an Adam joke. Up and Chantel. Up and Chantel. You know what I mean? I do. Okay.
Not your best work. No.
No, it's all right. You got better. You've done better. I will get better as the morning goes on. Absolutely. Or I'll get worse. You can only go one way or the other.
That's right. If this is the middle ground, what's worse? What's going on today, Josh? I don't even know. I know. Tell me what you know. I know very little.
I know it is a Tuesday. I know that, which is okay. It's fine.
Yeah. It's not that it's like, I'm busy. I'm busy this week. This week is a busy week. I was busy yesterday. I'm super busy when I get done with work. So I'm trying still to get home and yard projects done after I get done with work. So yesterday I had some dump runs.
Today I've got a dump run, but then I've got like a real packed night. And that I'm not looking forward to. I know. I'm sorry about that. I want to relax and sit in the garden. That's what I really want to do.
But I just don't have time for that. I know. And that makes me sad. I know. I looked out the window this morning longingly and went, I just want to sit out there. I let the dog out. Yeah. And I went, oh, what a beautiful morning to sit on the deck.
I know. Couldn't.
Had to leave. Had to run away. Yeah. How come jobs get in the way of what we really want to do?
Yeah, jobs. What's the deal with the job getting in the way? Why do I have to have money to pay bills? Yeah. Can I just relax my backyard on my deck? Yeah. I'm working hard back there. Yeah. I want to spend time in my hard work. I'll
have time tonight. I'll just be out there alone. Rude. I'm sorry.
Capital R.
Sorry, dear. It's fine. I'll think of you while I'm out there. No, you won't. I will, too.
Still hot? If you want a good weather conversation? No, let's not. I know you like a good Tuesday morning weather convo.
No, I don't need you to read me the weather report.
It is going to be hot today. It's almost 90. What? Yeah. Yeah. That's why I wore a skirt. I've been wearing shorts for a long time. Very windy and thunderstorms tomorrow. Wind. You want to know why? Because of wind. Because garbage day. Oh, yeah. Every time it's garbage day.
It's just always windy every day.
Then my yard's full of garbage from the neighborhood.
Okay. Happy Tuesday. We're getting down in the dumps, Josh. We got to bring it back up.
Oh, I told you. We're getting down. No, we're cheery. Okay. Good morning. Change trajectory.
Yeah. Turn that frown upside down. Smile, smile, smile. All right.
Here's good news. There's a guy who is in charge of tracking data at Google for like what people search. And he's noticed a trend. This guy's name is Simon Rogers. He spends his day literally looking at all the questions asked by people in every country over the past two decades.
And he goes so far as to call this the world's brain. Okay. Which makes sense. Because if you see a big magnitude of population googling the same type of thing, that would mean it's something. Right. So this guy, he noticed some recent trends that might shed light on what attitudes people have.
And it's kind of hopeful, actually. He said there's a lot of time people will Google life skills, how to boil an egg, how to fix a toilet, stuff like that. For years, the top career related search was careers that pay well. It's been the number one job thing for a long, long, long time when people are researching.
Well, that recently changed. People have now started googling a job that helps people. What is a job that helps people has become well higher searched in Google, which is really interesting.
Because people are looking for fulfilling paths and not zeroing in on maximizing their dollars, it seems. Another trend involves more general questions about being there for others in needs. In need.
Search is for how to help. Dot, dot, dot. You know, someone have been higher than, you know, recently than they have before.
Both in the US and the UK. The top search question in the category is how to help someone with depression. That's that's like the very high one followed closely by anxiety, how to help somebody with panic attacks. And the searches show compassion, but also greater awareness of the importance of mental health, especially when somebody is struggling. And I think that's really powerful.
So the importance of just being there for other people because it's all about connection. Right.
And you can see people are like, I don't know how to help, but I want to help and I don't know what to do. Yeah. So that's really interesting. So there is some kindness trending in Google searches these days.
And I think that's really good news. It is good news.
Well, I've been waiting to tell you the story because you're going to, you're going to have a bit of a reaction. It's going to be interesting to hear your take on this. Made a new friend. You did? Yeah.
Look at you making new friends.
I didn't catch his name. Josh.
You're a bad friend already. I know.
Uh, how did you meet? Well, I was working in the backyard and, and, and he pulled up in the field and went, Hey. And so I went out of conversation with the farmer. So yeah.
Yeah. So we, we, I met the farmer yesterday. You were saying that the farmer and I were having a battle. I'd never met the farmer.
So I met the farmer yesterday. Okay. No battle, just a conversation. It went well. It was all good. Okay. Uh, and, and, you know, no harm done. I think I feel, I feel okay about the whole interaction.
Did you say, please stop spraying?
Well, we had a conversation about it and I asked about burning the weeds instead of spraying the weeds because I didn't want the chemicals to, you know, hurt me, my family, my property, all that kind of stuff. And he said, man, he goes, we get emails when we spray.
Could you imagine the, the feedback we get if we were burning close to these houses and stuff. So I said, yeah, no, I understand. Uh, anyway, so we had a, we had a good convo and, uh, and so I met him and, uh, and we, we had a back and forth convo and that seems to be where we'll leave it. I don't think a lot's going to happen because a lot's changing in that land over the next, you know, little while.
So, uh, it's, it's going to be less of an issue moving forward, I would say, after this year, but, uh, he was like, man, good luck with that. Cause when there's houses here, when it's not land in your backyard, then you'll have a whole different kind of trouble. And I went, yeah, I know. I get it. But that's, that's that. Look at you. Yeah.
I just wanted to confirm. We weren't like having fist to cuffs. We weren't, uh, we weren't yelling. There was no, no heated conversation. Yeah. No, like not like what you were saying. Yeah. There's no, there's no gang.
So did you take your side down?
That says do not spray. The, the wind had done that for me yesterday, which was kind because he went, I had heard you had a sign and I went, yeah, where is it? And I found it, it had blown down. And so I went, it's over here. Where the wind put it.
I had heard you had a side. Yeah. He came equipped to talk to you. Yeah. Oh yeah. He had some insider information. Oh yeah. It was like, Hey, bud, let's have a conversation. Correct.
Yeah. So we did. We had a convo short. Then that's that.
Basically you said nothing's going to change. And you said, okay, cool. Thanks. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. Pretty much true.
I'm not going to burn them because I don't want, I don't want that email, but also, you know, I'm going to keep, we got to spray the ditch. And I went, yeah, now I get it. I mean, ultimately look, he's got a crop and I understand and he's got a job. Do he's got land to farm? He told me that he's been farming it forever and ever and ever. It was like since the eighties, like they've been farming it for 40 some odd years. And I went, okay.
So tell him not to spray it. Well, or sell it. I mean, don't sell it.
Just give me a little chunk of it so that I don't have to deal with right in this proximity. Yeah. I'll just put up a little tree line.
Cause we're full aware that eventually sooner rather than later, it's going to be sold and plot for living quarters. You betcha. Oh, yeah. I don't want people back there.
But I also, I wasn't trying to be a thorn in anybody's side. And I think, you know, I, you don't know how text comes across. So when you send an email, you lose all context, right? You just have words. You don't know the mood behind the words.
That's why I don't care for it. I'd rather have a conversation than, than send an email or a text because you lose context. And so it's important that I, that I tried to convey like, look, I'm not, I'm not some angry person over here, like, you know, trying to be a pest. I'm just trying to say, I have concerns, right?
Like that's all. No big deal. I just want to make sure that I voice my opinion because I lost some trees and I had an impact on my property last year. And this year I'm trying to prevent it. That's it. And he said tough luck. No, not in so many words.
Tough luck, kiddo. We're going to keep doing us. Yeah. Pretty, pretty much. Yeah. Pretty much went, Hey man. Good luck with your garden. That's, that's cute. I'm going to go farm real land, you know. Yeah. Something like that. Okay.
You lost the battle, but that's okay.
It's not a battle. You had a conversation. It's still not a battle. No, I understand. It's, I mean, I'm in a battle with the weeds that I don't want to spray because I don't want to kill the flowers that are hiding in the weeds. Exactly. So I'd like the weeds to be at bay, but that's a, Well, good conversation, Josh.
Yeah. You've met on common ground.
Because we share a property line. Exactly.
That's common ground. Exactly. Yeah. Well, I was on my side of the fence. He was on his side of the fence and we had a conversation. Did you have a shake? No, he was, there was a ditch in between. Oh. There's a lot of space. Did you like, you could air shake. No. Hey, nice talking to you, bud. See you later. Have a good day. Appreciate it.
I believe I said, I appreciate the conversation. Thanks, man. And what he said? Good luck. I don't remember. Got in this truck and drove off. And then the wind kept blowing my sign around.
Stop sending emails. I gotta, I gotta farm this land, dude. No, I get that.
I'm not trying to stop you from farming. I just try not to spray so close to my house, you know.
Funny. Yeah. Anyway. A foe has become a friend. Wow. Wow. So there I was in the kitchen, cooking dinner last night, and I was cutting up a pepper and it had an extra amount of seeds. And so I was, I was scooping out the seeds with my bare hands. You weren't using your human hands? I wasn't using gloves.
Oh, that kind of bear.
Scooped out the seeds. And then I sneezed. And I had a Kleenex. Yeah. But my fingers with the peppers touched my nose.
And that spun a whole chain of events. I bet that was neat.
No, it wasn't. And I was sneezing fit in the kitchen. And then my nose because I had pepper seeds on my fingers. And I was touching my nose. It was burning, I bet. It was burning and I was sneezing and it was tingling. It was a mess.
That dinner was a little spicy last night and I liked it. Yeah. I didn't think about the fact that you might have had an issue with the, you know, you didn't. Danger is my middle name.
I told you. Yeah. I've been telling you. Okay. My whole life. Sure thing.
Was it jalapenos? What kind of peppers were they? Green peppers.
Josh, they were extra spicy. That's all I added in there was those peppers.
Were they a hatch pepper? What were they? I don't know. I know they were green. I saw them. But they weren't green sweet bell peppers.
No, they weren't. I don't know what they were. You didn't read on the recipe? I could probably tell you.
I bet they were hatch chilies.
Oh, you think you're so smart about your peppers?
I'm just willing to bet.
All I know is that it was real hatching in my nose. Okay.
I mean, look, they could have been just green chilies, like the ones you buy in the can, you know? It could have been that. But those are usually like a hatch chili or something, a Verde chili, you know? Yeah. Like green peppers is just a bell pepper. No, I know Josh. But a green chili. It's different. Anyway, I don't know. So you had a sneezing fit.
My nose, my whole nose was blowing up. Why'd you touch it? I didn't think about it. Yeah. Yeah.
I watch hot ones. You do. And they always tell them like, hey, hey, hey, watch your eyes. Don't touch your eyes when you're touching the hot wings.
I have touched my eyes before. It says long green pepper in the recipe. So. All right.
Long green pepper. Are you googling? I got to see what there's, there just isn't, there's poblanos. I bet that's what it was. Anaheim chilies.
I bet it was a poblano. No, it wasn't. I've seen those. The point is, why does it matter?
Because I just want to know what I'm trying to find Scoville to find out how hot it was on your nose.
Oh, actually, it might have been a poblano.
Were they, were they fat like that? Or were they more like the hatch chilies that are long? No, it was like a poblano. I bet it was poblano.
Yeah, it was definitely. That's what it was. Okay.
For sure. Okay. So poblanos. So try the Scoville. That's what I'm going to look. Okay. Okay.
You're going to find it's hot, hot in your nose.
It's only a thousand to two thousand. Only?
Yeah. Put it in your nose. I don't want to. Then you're going to find out how hot it was.
Like poblanos, like pretty low.
Listen to me. When I tell you that I'm just trying to get some sympathy here and you're just like, like poblano is less than jalapeno.
Okay. The point is. Bell peppers at the bottom. Then pepperoncinis, then anaheims, then poblanos.
I just want you to have some appreciation for the dinner that I made.
I do. It was very delicious. I'm excited to have it for lunch. My leftovers are in the bag. I'm grateful I didn't have to cook. That was awesome. Oh man.
You're so lucky I cooked. I didn't want to. I hate cooking. Okay. But I did it and I almost died in the process.
Well, you might have to cook tonight because I got to be out of the house again. I know.
That's fine. I'll cook again.
There's like new foods coming. What are we getting?
Two nights in a row you want me to cook?
This is extreme. Because I have two nights of meetings. What's in the box of food we get today?
Because we get the food delivery thing.
Creamy cilantro steak bowls. Okay.
You're probably not making that.
No, I'm not making that. Right. I'm probably going to make this one, the milty mozzarella beef and zucchini pinae.
That sounds nice. Does that sound nice? I'm going to like it and I think you're going to like it and Emory will eat some of it and Beck won't. Correct.
And then we're getting Thai-inspired peanut chicken saute bowls. Yum. We got two bowls in there. Okay. I didn't realize that. Well.
But it makes a… Very different foods. Yeah. Yeah, cool. I am cool. Nice. So I'm probably making the pinae. Cool. Because it's going to be the easiest. Nice. I like it. Good luck with it. Don't touch your nose if there's hot spicy peppers. I will try. All right. Devoid your face. That's all. Want to talk about this new game you can't love with?
Well, this is kind of a game that we invented together. We're always inventing silly little games. Yeah.
Well, something came up. We were stopped at a traffic light. Was this just yesterday or was it Sunday? Sunday. And I started to tell a story and you went, oh, where are we going? Oh, there comes this story. I've heard a million times. And I didn't know that I had told… I'm sure I had told you. We don't have a lot of stories that we don't know. But the kids might have heard been hearing it for the first time.
The kids weren't even listening to us. So they don't care. They don't care about our stories.
There's a lot to learn in there. I don't know. There's morals hidden away. So then you said, you know what would be a fun game is, I'm going to tell you the start of a story and you tell me how it ends.
Yeah. Because we've heard them from one another so many times that we could probably recite them detail for detail from memory. Do you have an example? Oh, I wish I did. Oh, I thought you were going to prepare an example.
I'm trying to even think of the one that
you were saying the other day. I don't even know. It'll come up. It came up because of something and I went, you know, and you went, oh boy,
we're going to go this story again. But you stopped midway through and then I was able to finish the story. I wasn't even there. I wasn't even a part of it. I've just heard that story so much from you that I go, oh, this is a story from Josh's childhood that I know by memory because you've said it so much.
It must have been a good core memory in there.
I don't know if I, I'm trying to think of, I've got a couple of memories that I could say to you, but I don't think, I don't think I've told you my stories as often as you've told me your stories.
Okay. How, how so?
I don't know. I'm just trying to think of a story that you could finish the ending of. Okay, I'll tell you one. I'll start it and you see if you can end it. Okay. I was at the rodeo with my sister and brother-in-law. She was pregnant and she started to go into labor. Do you know the end of that story?
I don't know if I know the story. It's the point I'm trying to make. I don't know if you've told me this whole story. I have told you this whole story. Was I listening? See, this is, this is round two of a game that was invented spontaneously and I'm not doing well. No. Okay.
Now your turn. Tell me a memory. Start off a memory. I'll see if I can finish it. Uh. To be clear, these have to be memories that only one of us was a part of. Yeah.
It's not like a memory that we share together. Of course. Yeah. These are, these are either pre-knowing each other or solo adventure type memory stories, right? Yeah. That's the whole point. Yeah.
Okay. Here's another one. Okay. My friends and I went to Tijuana for spring break. We got lost. Okay. What happened next?
Well, you were in Compton.
We were not in Compton. We were in Tijuana.
You got lost in Tijuana? Correct. I don't remember getting lost in Tijuana. I remember you driving through, uh, well then your, your friend was the only Spanish speaker and he had to help get directions to get you out of there. Yes. Is that the rest of that story?
Yes. Okay. Okay. Good job.
You had one Spanish speaker in your vehicle in Tijuana and you got lost.
No, we didn't drive our vehicle in there because he said, don't drive your vehicle in here.
I see.
So you walked and you walked. We walked across the border. You did. Yes. Okay. Okay. This is going terribly. You're- Well, I remembered. Partially. Okay. I need you to come up with a memory now because I bet I could, I could finish it for you. Okay.
Uh, the first time I went snowboarding, I took a class with my cousin the whole day and then after the class, what happened?
Oh no. I don't know. I don't know what this is. Oh golly. Okay. I think you crashed, you wiped out and you got sad and you stayed in the lodge the whole rest of the day. That is not correct. Okay, dang it.
My other older cousin decided to take us on a black diamond run. I did crash so hard I saw yellow because there was snow packed in my goggles. That's why I saw yellow.
Okay, I do remember that story. I slept for the whole rest of eternity on a couch in a basement because my body hurt so bad. How old was I? 12. That is correct. How old was your cousin? 14?
Well no, the cousin I took the class with would have been 13 and then our older cousin was, I don't know, 19?
Something like that? Okay.
And it took, I don't remember.
It took you on a black diamond for your first time. Yeah. Ooh, doggy.
Yeah, and I crashed. Filled my goggles with snow. Okay, well so that's how the game works anyway. You get the idea. You tell me the end of the story you've heard a million times. Is that the name of the game? Yep, that's the name of the game. That's a long name.
Listen, it's new. We're gonna workshop it. We're workshopping. Or spitball it.
I mean, it could just be called finish my story. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. That you've heard 100,000 times. Or a million times, a million times. Yeah. Finish my story.
I love it. It's a great game. Especially when you've been together with someone as long as we have and you've heard the same stories over and over and over. Right. Apparently you're not listening to any of my stories though.
I don't know if I've heard the rodeo going into labor story. I'm pretty sure you have. What happened? I didn't hear the end.
Well, I was 12.
Oh, you had to walk home by yourself.
I had to walk home. I have heard this story. In the dark by myself. That's right. They couldn't even drop me off at home.
Literally two blocks away, by the way. I understand you were 12 and it was burly. And it was burly. In the craziness of the 90s. It's scary. Yeah. And you had to walk two blocks to your home from the fairgrounds in Burley. Yeah. With street lights on.
There you go.
Okay. You did remember. I do remember. I just needed a little extra coaxing.
Good job. Yeah, thanks.
You did it. Is it a compliment when someone says the following?
Someone compliments me, but insults you.
Yeah. Is that a compliment to the show? If somebody's like, I really like listening to you. Your laugh is infectious. Is that the right word?
Intoxicated. Intoxicating. Excuse me. Which is very high praise. It is high praise. That is very nice. That's a nice thing to say. But then it's followed by the sentence, I don't really know if what Josh is saying is a joke until you laugh at it.
Yeah. I don't know if what Josh is saying is funny until I hear you laugh. And then that triggers me to laugh. Right. And I went, oh no. I'll accept the compliment. Thank you.
Yeah. Okay. So listen, for a long time you have said that I was not funny until I met you. No, no, no.
No, that's what you said. Okay. You said, you weren't even funny until you met me. And then I edited it. When I first met you, you were kind of like, I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. It wasn't like you were able with other relationships, you weren't able to fully be yourself. And so you kind of pushed that part of you down. I think you were always funny, but I think I'm the one who was able to be like, hey, it's okay for you to be funny because it's hilarious. Let the jokester side out of yourself.
Got it. So you were, you're saying that you made me funny. All right, got it.
I know. I think it was there. I think you've always been funny. You just had to bury it.
Because other people didn't appreciate it. But you're like, no, no, be funny. I see. So that's how you made me funny. All right. Got it. I'm just trying to get it all straight now.
We've had this conversation a million times.
So you laughing at what I have to say just further proves that I'm funny, even though other people don't necessarily find humor in what I'm saying. Is that right?
And that came from a family member. I know. Hey, now listen, yesterday somebody told me that I was insufferable. So I've been in the- I don't even know what that means. In the matter of three days, I've been told that my laugh is intoxicating to you're insufferable.
And I went, oh- Insufferable. Something or someone that is impossible to endure, unbearable, or extremely annoying. Referring to things like heat, boredom, or behaviors like arrogance that are too unpleasant to tolerate. I disagree. I think you are incredibly sufferable. Thanks.
Thanks. You're worth the pain.
Okay. So- Insufferable means bearable, endureable, or tolerable. Yeah, you are sufferable. It's something often unpleasant that can be endured. You are capable of being endured. You are sufferable. Wow, thanks. Yeah, I can endure this.
Go tell that person who told me that.
Oh, I hope- we should call him down. We should- he works here. We should call him out to his face and say, insufferable, huh? That's what you think. Okay. Ouch. That's pretty mean.
Yeah, that hurt my pride a bit.
I mean, you're worth suffering.
Thank you, Josh. Through. And I think you're funny. Clearly. I laugh at you all the time. With you. I'm laughing with you. Hey, thanks for making me funny. If you lost- excuse me, if you lost me in a grocery store, what aisle would you check first?
Oh, I'm just going to go to customer service and have them page you. Do they do that anymore? I don't know, but I really want to do that.
Chantel, your party is waiting at the front. Chantel, your party is waiting at the front. Wouldn't that be so fun? And you're like, I'm trying to get yogurt. I got a whole list of stuff. I'd be so- I would just ignore it.
It would be great to like walk into the grocery store, know that you've got like- we're going to be here for a while because you have a whole list and go, oh, I got to go use the restroom and then go right to customer service and have them page you.
Immediately upon entering. I actually might think, oh, something fun is happening. You go up and I'm just standing there with a lollipop in my hand like, hey, I got lost. That would be hysterical. What a thing to do. I don't know if they still page for people.
It's been a long time. I mean, because everybody has phones now. Good point. So there's no reason to page.
Really good point. Even the weirder reason to have it happen. Yeah.
For you to have it happen.
Like if I went and did it and you're walking around the grocery store and it comes over the overhead. Chantel, your party is waiting at the front.
Did you ever get paged when you were a little kid?
Yeah, I haven't paged my parents. You paged your parents. Oh, yeah. There was, I can't find my mom. There's nothing more troubling and ulcer causing than getting lost at the grocery store. I mean, like I've walked all the aisles and I can't find my mom.
You go up and you sit there and they give you a little lollipop and they go, all right, hang out here. We'll page your mom. What's her name? And you're like, I don't even know mom. Her name is mom. Yeah. What's your mom's name? I call her mom. We have a little lost boy at the customer service desk.
No, they happened once to me where I got lost.
Did you panic? Kings. Oh, what a place to get lost. Just go back to the toys. She'll come find you.
I know exactly. What are you doing? Exactly. Just give you the toys. Oh, Kings had the best Barbie selection too.
And the Kings that was in Idaho Falls was in a, the toys were in the basement.
We didn't have a basement in Burley. It was a whole toy zone. So cool. Yeah. So anyway, if I got lost today, what aisle would you look for me in?
I was just going to also say real quick and then I'll answer your question. Kings, you can now go buy auto parts there and it's weird. Every time I walk in, I go, this is not Kings. What aisle would I find you in? Yes. Hmm. You wander off. We've had this conversation. So I'm going to have to check the whole store.
Yeah, but where would you look first?
Where I left you and then you weren't there.
You're going to be in and out. I would often find myself as a kid. That's where you'd find me. Yeah. Because it had one. It was a cool place to put your arm, but it had arcade buttons. And there was nothing to it. It just had a timer and like little LED like numbers. And I put my arm in it and hit the button. Sometimes. And I'd go, oh, it's pinching. It's pinching. And then I go, did I get a good score? I don't even know what these numbers mean. There's two numbers.
I'm going to hit it again. Sometimes your arm was so little that it never even reached all the way around.
I didn't have that issue. Were you doing it on your forearm?
I was just, yeah, but I was just little doing it. And then now I think about it and I go, they bit. I bet they never cleaned that. I bet that was never once cleaned.
That's an adult thought. Quit having adult thoughts. Have fun kid thoughts. Put my arm in that. Push the button. What happened to all of those? Good question.
What they do with all of those when they say, we got to get rid of these?
And why was it such a priority to have people checking their blood pressure at the grocery store? That's a better question. One, where do they go is solid, but two, why? I should check my blood pressure. I'm at the grocery store.
Wait for my prescription.
Plus, you know what? Now it's going to be higher because I'm at the grocery store. Yuck. Double yuck. And I can't find my wife. Blood pressure through the roof. But that's where you should look to find me. If they ever bring those back and you can't find me, check there first. The blood pressure.
I read something yesterday that said, every time somebody makes me mad, I delete a letter off of their name in my contacts. Once that name is gone, they're gone. Deuces.
Deuces. That's like buy two peace signs. Peace.
Peace out. They call it hangman. Contact hangman.
So every time someone makes you upset, you delete a letter from their name. You better have a long name if you want to stay in that phone. So because you've got like three letter names in there, like mom.
You better not make me mad, mom. You got three chances. That's what I'm saying. You better have a long name. She's listed as mom cell. So that counts. She's got a ways to go. I think they're really good.
Why is she listed as mom cell still?
Why am I listed as my full name in your phone? Let's not worry about that. We are worried about that. Because think of all the letters you get. So many. Listen, mom cell would indicate that there was another way to call your mom.
There was. There's not now. But there used to be.
That's why I said, why is she still mom cell?
I just haven't edited it. She used to have a landline forever and ever. She had a work number.
So, but the landline was in there as mom. Yeah. Then you had mom work and mom cell. You could now just have one number called mom. Fine. Hey, I'm not telling you how to run your phone.
Editing it right now. It's not my place to tell you how to run your phone. Got it. Edited. Done. It is not your place to tell me how to run my phone because guess how you're listed in my phone? Joshy. Right. Which is a cute little nickname for you. Right. Guess how I'm listed in your phone? Full name. My full name.
That's right. That way I know who you are when you call.
What do you mean? What's wrong with that? Everyone thinks that's weird. I tell people about that all the time. Who thinks that's weird? Everyone. Why? Everyone I've told has been like, he doesn't have a cute name for you. And I go, no. I mean, he does. He's just not listed in my phone that way. In his phone that way.
I'm just going to double check. Everyone thinks it's weird. Nope. You're listed in my phone as that. As my full name. Yeah. I pulled up the contact. It's full name. I even have a photo in there.
Let me see the photo. What is the photo?
It's whatever you picked. I don't control that.
No, I don't like that. Get a different one.
It's your Google profile photo. That's, you get a different one. I will get a different one. It's why mine is that crazy bear head. That, that's mine.
I know. Okay. So I'm looking, there's a lot of people in my, in my phone that have rather short names. Yeah. So they don't have a lot of chances. You better not make me mad. If I'm deleting letter by letter until you're done. My sister, she's got four letters. My sister has three. You better not make us mad.
I mean, the kids, they only got four. I mean, there's only got five. My cousins got two.
Oh, you better, you better walk on thin ice. What does that mean?
You better walk on thin ice, which is not the ideal. What's, what's the idiom? You better walk on thin ice. You're walking on thin ice means you're, you know, tread lightly because you're walking on thin ice. That's what I'm saying. But you better walk on thin ice is not a thing.
You better watch your step is a thing. That's it. Yeah. No, I know because I know my idioms. You're an idiom. And there it is.
Bravo. That's, that is one of the oldest lines on this show. That one goes back to the original days of the, of the show of us working together. Because you confuse idioms all the time. And anytime they come up, you tell me I'm an idiom.
When you make, when you tell me I'm wrong. That's right. You go, that's not the idiom.
You're an idiom. You're an idiom. Yeah. Which we were going to put on merchandise. We still should. We should still have your an idiom merchandise.
It's an inside joke, you see.
But everyone should know about it. And if you're listening right now, you're in on that joke. You're in on the joke. We're all a bunch of idioms.
No, just you. Oh, thanks. Thanks. Do you think that you've had a glow up as the kids say from high school? Do you think you're cooler now? Cooler? Then you were when you were in high school.
Because a glow up, I think is like you were a geeky looking kid. And then you like blossomed and everybody went, whoa. Look at this hunk. I don't think I had the glow up. You didn't have a glow up in the hunk way. Okay. Yeah. Whoa. Look at this. Look at this specimen.
Do you think then that you're more cool than you were in high school?
No way. You don't think so? No. I had hair. I had beautiful center part hair.
That doesn't make you cool.
Listen, it was. Because think about everybody in the nineties that you heartthrobbed.
I had that hair. I actually didn't like that hair. So everybody that I heartthrobbed didn't have that hair. What hair did they have?
Not that. What they have?
Who did you heartthrob? Robert Downey Jr. Lance Bass from N-Sync.
Okay. I'm trying to remember who else. I'm looking at Lance Bass's nineties hair. Okay, I did have some of that in my senior year. I did do the bleach tip thing.
Okay. So that was a thing I had. You said Robert Downey Jr.? Yeah, he might have had. His nineties hair. He had long hair. I did not grow it long. But he had it like it was over his ears. Long hair. Kind of Johnny Depp style.
Okay. I never really liked. I didn't have a crush on Johnny Depp so much. Okay, but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about.
I'm just trying to decide if I'm cooler than now. I was going to say. I know. I think, not that I don't think I hit my prime in high school. I think prime of life came much later when I felt confident with myself and was able to be comfortable in front of people and I wasn't like beating myself up over little things all the time. Yeah. That didn't happen until 2007, 2008. So it was eight or nine, 10 years after high school that I was finally like, you know, I feel confident now. Right.
Because I think coolness has everything to do with your confidence level.
Right. But I didn't feel confident until late twenties. I did. Same.
Early twenties. Late twenties? Yeah. We met when you were young twenties. You didn't feel cool when we met? No. Oh, Josh. No. Why not? I don't know.
I was still locked away and shy.
I know, Steve. And then I brought out the funny in you.
It took a decade. Took a decade after high school before I felt like, you know, I think I kind of am feeling a little bit more confident about who I am. I think you spend a lot of time trying to be, trying to fit in, you know, and you got to break away from the trying to fit in to be your own person. And it took me a long time to come around to that idea. And then when I did, I went, okay. I'm pretty cool. You said that. I didn't say I'm pretty cool because I say right now.
No, no, you have to. I don't like it.
If you think I'm cool, then that's great. That's awesome. I do think you're cool. Yeah. I don't. It's not that I don't think highly of myself. I don't like to, to be prideful like that. I don't like to, I don't like the ego.
I don't think it's prideful to say, I'm pretty cool. Okay. You have to like yourself, Josh.
No, I do. I like myself just fine.
If you don't like yourself, who else will?
I like myself just fine, but I don't like to walk around going like, look at me.
You're not going to do that by just saying, I'm pretty cool.
It feels icky. To me.
I think, I think I'm cooler now than I was in high school. I was a little bit of a dork in high school. I'm still a dork. Let's be real. I'm a little bit of a lame-o.
I mean, you metal detect now, so that's cool.
That's what I'm saying. I mean, who's cooler than this? Nobody. That's right. Nobody. There's nobody cooler. Just ask my kids. They'll tell you.
Nobody's cooler than you, mom. Nobody's cooler than you. That's a sentence I've heard in the house. Nobody's cooler than you, mom. Yeah. Followed by a...
I just read something that kind of fits our relationship a little bit. Okay. I said, married couples will never apologize after an argument. We just ask dumb questions to get back on good terms. Okay, give me an example. Like, if we've been disagreeing about something and we're both a little upset, then it's like, you're quiet for a little bit.
Like, we find that we kind of... Like, you don't look at each other, and you're kind of giving each other the silent treatment. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
I've never heard of this. Get out of here. What are you talking about? And then you go, well, I'm not necessarily upset anymore, but I'm not going to apologize because I wasn't wrong. You're not going to apologize because you don't think you were wrong either. And then you just ask dumb questions like,
was the fridge in the kitchen when you went in there? That's what I was saying. You just asked dumb questions.
When have you ever asked that? Not that question specifically, but it's like...
Sometimes you ask a question and that starts a whole new argument. Like the other day when I said, did we have coffee creamer? Yeah. And you go, no, we don't. And I go, yeah, we do.
I just saw it in there. And you said, no, we don't. I promised you.
And I go, yes, we do. I saw it in there. I was just in the fridge. I saw it there. And then I go to look and I go, it was cottage cheese. Yeah.
Not even the right shape of container. That was the argument day before your birthday. Right. And I said, no, I know for a fact. And the reason I knew was because it brought it to work that morning. But no, don't listen to the one who knows the information.
I'm never going to say I was wrong. No, I know. You know what I'm talking about though. When we have a disagreement and we go, we're not apologizing. So you're just going to...
No, this feels like a one way street. Get out of here. I think I'm always like, hey, I was wrong. I get it. Really? Yeah. But I'm not wrong that often. So that's the part.
How high is that horse that you're on right now?
Seven or eight hands.
Hard to get off of that. Is it?
It's a long way down. I need a stool. Got a little legs.
Get off that high horse right now.
I didn't even ride a horse to work today. I drove in a tundra, Teton Toyota.
Sometimes the questions aren't ridiculous. It is mostly just like, hmm, it's a good looking tree over there.
This is just you trying to make yourself comfortable and being wrong. That's all this is. No, you do the same thing. I've never shaken your head at me.
Stop it. Stop it.
Give me another example.
Now I'm mad again. We're fighting. Another example. I don't have another example. I've given you three.
Three that were all you. That's why I'm trying to find one that was me.
Okay, so maybe it's because I reach out the olive branch first. So maybe that makes me.
But again, I'm going to state that the three examples you gave or whatever were when you were wrong about something.
No, there was one example I gave where I was wrong.
One. And then you extended an olive branch? No, I didn't. No, because you just said, I'm not going to ever admit I'm wrong. So this is not an example of anything that's ever happened.
No, the examples are when I am trying to get back on track after we've been giving each other the silent treatment when we're mad at each other. And then it's like.
I would also point out that you're giving me the silent treatment. I'm just trying to not dig a deeper hole. So I'm not giving you the silent treatment. I'm just being quiet.
Yeah. So that I don't make the problem worse. And I'm just going to do my own thing. And then you go, well, this isn't any fun. So I'm going to go talk about a nonsensical thing to start a conversation again. Olive branch. Unnecessary branch. I wasn't at not at peace. I was just avoiding the confrontation by being quiet.
Avoidance isn't a peace offering though. Is it?
Because I didn't. There was no disturbance on my.
I was. I was not disturbed. I was just fine being right about what was in the fridge.
So it was a one sided upset. I knew I was correct. So I was fine with the outcome being. Oh, I was correct. Now, if you had been correct, it might have been different.
I'm done talking to you right now.
I will happily await an olive branch soon.
You better reach out first. I'm not going to do it this time. Silent treatment until you reach out first. For what? For role. Look at you.
Look at you. See, you're all riled up for no reason. We're fighting. We are. Yeah. Did you turn your swivel chair to the side?
Yeah, you'll find that I'm not even looking at your face.
No, I can see that. You're looking all over the place.
Yeah. Where are you looking now? Not looking at you. Okay.
We'll play a song. Sure. And we'll see what happens. What do you think will happen? You're looking at me. That's progress.
But look at how mad my face looks. It doesn't look mad. It looks pretty cute. Just stop it.
Just a random question. Do you think that the B on the Honey Nut Cheerios box, you think he's handsome?
Just asking a random question. I haven't ever looked. Oh, good. I mean, look. Yeah.
I mean, no, I don't think he's handsome because I think he's a kid.
Oh, do you? Yeah. Okay. Well, I didn't realize that that was the B had an age. No.
Let me see. He appears to me to be a kid. He's a kid B. He's cute. No, he's not a man. He's kid. I think he's a kid. I think he's a kid.
Okay. Well, good. All right. We're on speaking terms again. That's good.
Only because we have to work together. Okay.
All right. Good deal. Just wanted to test the waters before we got into this next conversation.
I knew you did that too. You just won't admit that you did it too. Go ahead. No. What's that? What's on your mind? Do you think that you know my go to excuse when I don't want to do something? Like if I come home and I go, I got to go do this thing and I don't want to. What's, what's my, I know him, huh?
Around, but then you go do the thing. I don't know you to have an excuse to get out of stuff. I think you him, huh? And you go, man. And then you get ready to leave and you go do the thing and you're, you're a begrudged the whole time.
Not depends on what it is. Sometimes I'm begrudge the whole time. Sometimes I go and I go, okay, that was actually kind of fun.
Okay. I do. But I don't think you have a go to excuse that you use to get out of stuff.
Do you think you do? No, I just wanted to know if you thought you knew.
No, I think you go, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh.
Yeah, I go blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then as you're getting ready, you're like, I don't even want to do this. I don't even like my clothes. I don't have anything to wear. Everything I look is dumb. Yeah. That's, that's what I hear. And then you look great and you go do the thing and you're like, okay, I did it.
And it wasn't that bad. Usually. And then I usually apologize to you when I go, sorry, I was such a grouch. Right? I do. I do that. And I go, okay.
I live with you. I know how this goes. You him ha around.
Sometimes those plans get canceled and I go whoopee, best day ever.
I don't have to do that thing that you want to do. Yeah. And you immediately, your him ha ends. Yep.
And I go, no, I can do whatever I want to do.
Your him ha goes away and your yee haing kicks in.
Yep. Yee ha. I love a canceled plan. I do.
Oh, I don't have to worry about all that thing I was worried about.
Yep. That's the best. I get it. That's the best. I've been talking to my hairdresser about getting together for dinner and she's like, okay, but you just have to know that if you invite, I might not show up. And I go, that's fine with me. So don't plan it. I know. So that's why nothing has ever been planned.
We should go out and do some, some things outside of this at the hair salon relationship. And you, and you're both like, yeah, that would be fun, but also, no. No. Okay.
But also I just like to be home. Got it. Got it. Yeah. And we both have said, if you catch us at the right time on the right day, then it might happen, but good luck finding that day and time. Cause I just like to be home.
What you need to do is one of you needs to be in that time and go, Hey, I'm in the time where it would be really convenient. Are you in the same spot?
And she'll say, uh, and you go, okay, that's cool. That's the only way you're ever going to know if that's, if that timeline is going to intersect. Right. Is if you reach out, but you're going to have to go, I'm in the position right now where I would like to have dinner with somebody and I'm going to send that message. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then do it. Yeah. I know.
And then you might be surprised because I might be like, actually, yes, I will meet you for dinner and you go, sweet, we made that thing happen.
It's probably not going to be very likely.
That's fine, but you're never going to do it. If you don't ask. No, I know. I get it. I don't think you want it that bad.
I don't. Okay. And I don't think she does either. And that's okay. Okay. Okay. Well, I just thought maybe you knew my go to excuse. You don't have one. I don't. Can you think of an adult thing that you have to do that still makes you feel like a scared little kid?
Uh, the doctor. Okay. That's good. I guess. Uh, mine. I guess because like having had surgeries and stuff now that I have it, it certainly has changed. I was very petrified for a long time, but it's, it's become like a, okay, but it's not fun. No.
They always go, your blood pressure is, yeah, you think quit checking. I don't want to be here. I always think I have to get my blood drawn every three months. And every time I go, I, I hold my hand out there and I just look away and I try to focus on something else and it hurts.
And so I always, there's a spot on my pants that I'll pinch. Oh. When the needle goes in as like a, it's kind of like a safety. That makes sense. And then they always go, are you okay? Cause I'm not looking. And I go, yeah, I'm just not going to look.
Yeah. I don't look either. I can't look. There's nothing to see. No. There's nothing happening over there for me.
So that always makes me feel like a little kid. Cause I go, I'm just going to look somewhere else, anywhere else. Also if your boss calls you in to talk to you and just, hey, can I talk to you further than this? Does that stress you out? Oh, absolutely. No matter what. I always go, oh, what did I do?
I don't get stressed out about that. Oh, I always do.
And it normally is like, oh, let's just talk about this thing. It's never anything I've done wrong, but I'm, oh, that's the first thing I always go to.
What kind of guilty conscience are you carrying around?
No, I just don't like being in trouble.
That's what I'm saying. You didn't do anything. So why are you being guilty about something? I don't know.
I don't, I'm, I'm not feeling guilty. I just don't want to. Then where's the fear come from? I don't know, Josh. Hey, hey, you, hey, you're coming at me.
I am asking questions.
I'm continuing a conversation.
No, no, I'm asking why you get scared of that if you haven't done anything wrong.
I, I don't know, Josh. I don't either. I don't, we're not doing a therapy session here. Okay. Um, anytime I have to go through TSA, it's the same situation where I go, stop yelling at me.
They're yelling at everybody because they have to yell shoes in the bin, shoes in the bin laptop out of the backpack.
You don't have to take your shoes off anymore. But they do yell though.
They do because they have to tell people yelling. It's just a raised voice. They have to tell people the same thing over and over and over a hundred times a day.
I know. They're dealing with people. I try to go through that as fast as possible. And then I go, hmm, I'm sure my anxiety is through the roof when I have to go through TSA.
You look guilty. I know I do. Why you got this guilty conscience if you're not doing anything wrong? I don't know. Well, that needs to be looked at. That needs to be studied.
I don't, I don't know. I don't want it to be studied. Is there anything else you could think of that makes you feel like like a little kid? Those are my big things.
Yeah, no, not really. I mean, there's. Feeling out adult paperwork. Yeah, but that's not the kids don't have to do that. So things that don't make me scared like a kid. That's. You know, old taxes. Like kids don't have to worry about taxes.
Taxes aren't scary. I just go, right? Here's all my money. Thanks government.
Interesting question, though. But that's, I think, probably where it where it lies mostly just the doctor, the doctor, yeah, which is mostly a fear of the unknown. Really, it's just I don't want to know what you're going to find out. Yeah, I do. I don't feel good. That's why I'm here. But also don't tell me I'm broken. Yeah, don't tell me any bad news. Right. Yeah, well, you're sick.
Oh, and good job. Doc, don't give me that large bill at the end.
Yeah, I don't want that. I don't want that. Kids don't have to worry about that. That's true. They don't have to worry about the going to the doctor scary part. Even though it's not that scary. It's not.
It's just especially if you have a nice doctor, which I do.
OK, good. I'm glad. I dropped the clean next box. Come on, come on. OK. Well, do you have anything else to say about that? I don't think so. OK, sounds good. Hey, would you rather this or that?
Would you rather have really long arms like Mr. Tickles? Who is that? You don't know who Mr. Tickles is. No. Mr. Tickles is the character from that book. He's orange. He's got long arms. He's got a blue hat. Mr. Tickle. OK. Is it Mr. Tickle or Mr. Tickle?
Mr. Tickle. OK. He is the first book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves, published in 1971.
You'd never read that book. Negative. What? Mr. Tickle. Yeah. He's got really long, stretchy arms. I see that. That he uses to tickle people around town. And I don't like him. Oh, he's a nice guy. He's mischievous.
So he's friends with the rest of the Mr. Men, Mr. Greedy, Mr. Happy, Mr. Nosey, Mr. Sneeze, Mr. Bump, who looks like a klutz, Mr. Snow, who's a snowman, Mr. Messy. Wasn't there one of these that was like taken over the internet more recently? Yeah. What was it? I can't remember.
I feel like it was a lady. It's like Miss Manners or something. Walter the worm.
OK, that's this is all besides the the point.
I've seen these folks, but I don't know anything about them. But Mr. Tickle.
OK, so Mr. Tickles has really long arms. Yeah, I see that. So would you rather have really long arms like Mr.
Tickles or his little Miss Sunshine? There it's it. Anyway, go ahead.
Or really short legs like E.T.
Do I also get E.T.'s cool telescoping neck?
Oh, no, you get you get little short legs or really long arms. What is that? I understand. But no, you get short legs or long arms.
What do you think the skeleton of E.T. looks like that he can do that neck? Unsure. Something else. What are you going with? Why don't want those short legs?
I know I'm going with long arms. I can reach stuff. You could from here, sitting in this chair, I could reach over and pinch your nose. Why would you? Doesn't that sound fun? No.
Keep your hands away. You could reach over and hit the green button. I could. Yeah. Which starts the next element in the automation.
No, if you have really long arms, do they just like when you're not using them, do they go short again? Like are they a telescoping arm? Or?
Well, no. They just are all noodles. So you got to deal with balancing all those noodles.
Dangly all the time. Yeah. Sorry, I don't know what to do with all my arms.
I got a lot of arms. Yeah, you got to have a lot of arm.
Gala, it would be a nightmare trying to find a shirt that fit. No. They'd all be short. Yeah, they'd all fit.
It'd be a nightmare finding long sleeves that covered your whole arms. But all the shirts would fit fine.
Terrible time finding a coat.
No, coat's going to fit fine. It just won't cover your arms. Exactly. Long gloves.
I'm going long arms. What are you picking?
Yeah, same. I don't want those little legs.
No, I already have little legs. It's no fun. When you run like that, he means quick on those little things. I know, but little legs are no fun. No. I'll have the long arms. That is would you rather this or that?
You have the ability to choose a food at a restaurant and then within a very short amount of time, that food goes away. Do you have a discontinued food that you would bring back for lunch or dinner today if you could? Or a restaurant that's not around anymore that you miss?
Like Taco John's. No, I didn't care for Taco John's. Potato Olays? Okay, but Taco Bell used to have like potato. They weren't called potato Olays, but they used to have like tater tot type things too.
Little fiesta spuds or whatever they called them.
Yeah, I don't remember what they called them.
But they were basically a tater tot. Yeah. Or a potato crown, whatever they call them. Little medallions of goodness. I don't know. Pizza huts original recipe for their pizzas, and their breadsticks.
Yeah. Okay. I don't think they changed the recipe for breadsticks though.
All the various types of baked potatoes and the salad bar at Wendy's.
Oh, I think they still have baked potatoes.
But maybe they're only down to like one type.
I forgot that they used to have a salad bar at Wendy's. Yeah. That was a pretty decent salad bar too.
Some other things people have listed and I totally agree. Choco Taco. I love the Choco Taco.
You can still buy a Choco Taco though I think. No, it's not the same. Okay.
What about Sobi, the drink? No. That white pina colada Sobi was amazing.
Yeah, no, I'm fine without that. I never got into Sobi.
Did you ever have the Heisei Ecto Cooler? No. Which was the Slimer Heisei?
No, gross. That was cool. Let's see. How is it Jones Soda kind of lady?
The real ding-dongs in the foil wrapper? No. You didn't care for that? Say something good. I'm just reading here. Apparently Carl's Jr. used to have a broccoli cheese potato. I never tried that. Wendy's did too. But
that's what I'm saying. I don't think they have all those anymore. I think that you can now only get a baked potato or a chili baked potato. Gross. That's what I'm saying. The original stuff. Orange Julius.
Yeah. An orange Julius sounds kind of nice, doesn't it? Yeah. While you're sipping on it while you're shopping them all. Sure. That sounds nice. Sipping and shopping is what I called it? No, you didn't. I
did. Until just now. They used to have, at Taco Bell they used to have like a spicy chicken as like, and that was delicious. And they took that away too.
There's a few things on here. The incharito, the seven layer burrito. These are things they've taken away from you.
I know. Well, I didn't even ever eat those, but they used to have a Baja Jalupa. Okay. That was good too.
I never, I still don't like the Jalupa. I like the gordita. I used to get the gordita supreme, which is basically what is now the cheesy gordita crunch. Yeah.
I mean, that's good, but.
Kudos bars. Did you ever have kudos?
Yes. Those were good. My mom bought those all the time.
Snackwell's devil food cookies. There was a cookie called Haystacks that I liked a lot. That was a Kebler, I think. But it was basically the Girl Scout Samoa cookie. And
I liked that a lot. I think they still have those. No, not, now they make the one that's like the Girl Scout cookie, but the Haystack or the Haydays, whatever they were called. Man, they were good.
I don't remember those. Yeah, it was good stuff.
Anyway, there's some old stuff, Carnation instant breakfast from the 80s. A lot of stuff that was like the original recipe of this, McDonald's apple pies from the 70s. Apparently they. Change the recipes. As the kids say, hit different. Well, okay. I just didn't know if there were any that you were like, immediately like, yes, I want that right now.
Not so much. Okay.
I know we'll pull into a drive-thru and you're like, remember when they used to have this food I loved?
I know, because every time I like it, they're like, get rid of it.
Yeah, no, it's a limited time deal. No one liked it except for her. Get rid of it. It's gotta go. Yep. We weren't selling enough. She can't keep this whole thing afloat. Well, that's gonna wrap up our show for today. Have a great rest of your Tuesday. We'll
