Thank you, kind, sir, and Jake Sorenson's on the way. We're going to get to these texts because y'all, we were talking food, so we might as well stay down the food rabbit hole. Scooter from Roker said it just had spaghetti yesterday, put everything together.

Farley says this, cooking spaghetti, sauce, noodles, everything together, stays in the pot, straight into the refrigerator. There you go, yeah. Heat it up. But Kupsker says the thing that we were finding to be true. My girlfriend is the type that separates the sauce and the noodles. Becky is to separate the sauce and noodles woman. I am not.

I will listen. And whoever is stuck to putting the food away, generally me, if I do it, together. If Becky does it, separate. And it's got to be like my wife does the same thing. So it's got to be like for the portion of the amount of stuff. you maybe want on your spaghetti and we don't care it's just like whatever put it all together and it'll be fine no matter how it is but i don't really understand why this you know why you would

separate it well you're burning and then also but do y'all have discussions over tupperware versus paperplate uh yeah i've been there right like i'm listen none of us want to do dishes so why not use the paper plate just throw it away like and i know that's i know that's an adolescent man sort of thing to say out loud. But there are times when, quite frankly, and Bach, do you organize your Tupperware? It is organized. I don't. Becky literally threw a tantrum over the Tupperware

not being matched to the top. And it was kind of, so now she did a full, it was a full presentation of where everything was and how it was put together and making sure the lids match and throwing out the ones it miraculously is like the sock that goes and the dryer never comes up. The Tupperware that happens that with the top somehow disappears. Like where the top's

going? I don't know. I don't know where the top is going. I'm like, it's Tupperware goes. That's what, it's like socks in the drawer. It's just what happened. So it's a thing. It is, Eric says you psychopath, separate your sauce. No.

Well, yeah, we're psychopaths. It could be. I'm fair. with that. I'm fair with that. Drumstick says, I could, I could eat like eight manwiches right now. I'm drumstick. We just became like best friends. Manwich and the difference between sloppy Joe and manwich to call it manwitch, which is true to the brand because not all sloppy Joe mix is the same. And manwich is made by unicorns and the and the and the upalupes from what Willie Wonka.

They have magic hands. Whoever puts their hands on whatever goes in a manwich can, I fully disclose this to Bach during the break. And Bach will confirm that I am about that life. That the next time Becky goes on a trip by herself, and I am left to my own devices, I will generally like Uber eats or, you know, prepare a meal. She has, she's hired Marcy,

two things are Marcy to make our meal, which is good, it's healthy and it's made from scratch and everything is exceptional. But the next time Becky goes on vacation, full disclosure, I'm going to tell y'all when it happened because I'm going to, this was going to happen. I'm going to get

an 8 box, a 16 box of steakables. Velvita cheese, the block. So you have to slice it, right? Melt it. Right? You need it. Don't do cheese whiz. Don't do that sort of thing. I'm going to get steak rolled. Actually, steak sandwich.

bun, right? I'm going to get four one pound packages of ground beef, one for manwiches. That's two days of manwich. I'm going to get a hamburger help, but I need the cheeseburger hamburger help. And then spaghetti. But I'm going to get the Prego with the meat sauce, but you add that to the pound of ground beef anyway. You have to meat to taste like meat. Say that, Bach. Say that. You want the meat to taste like meat.

Like, you want the meat sauce to actually taste like meat sauce. Just in case something goes wrong with the meat. Right? It still tastes like me. Right. And let me tell you, I don't know why hamburgers aren't good at home. You need to grill hamburgers. I can't tell you.

take hamburgers in here. I need hamburgers and cheeseburgers straight off the grill. But I'm just telling you, that week of dining, that is the most bachelor dining week. And then just as Bach as you said, I will have a case of ramen just to fill in the gaps. Right? Like, and I know that there are guys out there who eat ramen, but they do not eat one pack of ramen. that one pack oh that's cute that's cute you're just going to go one bag right and and that pack that spice pack back back do we know what's in that spice pack any idea just a lot of salt

so much like like 80% of your daily is taking an assault of it listen she's going to come back and i'm just going to be the guy on the count like she's going to come back she goes, what have you done? What have you done to my husband? Because I try to eat better now. Mainly we're a byproduct. Husbands are a byproduct of their wives' dietary thoughts and boundaries. And so I try to live with that.

But Becky's a tiny woman. So I'm trending towards tiny person food. But given the house to myself for a, a number of days. And I haven't had Manwich Hamburger Helper in, or ramen noodles in

15 years. 15 years. But this conversation has loved, okay, see, Kurt in Kentucky, you just said a thing. He just said a thing

because he just hit grilled ham and cheese with a side of ramen. See, this is why we're friends. Bach, are you a grilled, you're grilled?

cheese first. Yeah, yeah. Right? What do you have with your grill sheet? Um, chips, tater tots. I don't think I necessarily have anything specific. Yeah, tomato soup kind of comes to mind. Your thoughts on the adding the grilled, the ham to the grill cheese. Yeah, I love it. Right? It makes it way better. Yeah, absolutely. Are you a grilled cheese on the foreman guy, or are you a grill cheese in the frying pan guy? Frying pan is better. Forer. foreman's easier. So it depends on what's available. Right. Like, it's true. But the former grill allows like uniformity. Yeah. You have to clean the grill cheese like when you're done. Like it. Boataker says grill hot dog cut up and put in the ramen. That is that is a journey. A lot of my

friends have made. I have not jumped in that in that boat yet. I think that I mean, I I add chicken. I'll add, you know, some, like ground beef sometimes if it's there, I suppose. But hot dogs are a little too far. There are people. I mean, it really is a thing, right? I had teammates in college. But these are country boys.

So this was kind of, you know, these were my Appalachian boys. Like they were the first ones I saw do that. And I was like, whoa, what are you doing? What do you, what are you doing? I did have to change roommates. One of them put ketchup. Oh. Oh, into the ramen?

Yeah. Yeah. I was like, no, bro. Matt asked the question, are you prepping your grilled cheese with butter, margarine, or mayo on the bread? Now, this is a, this is what divides this country into third.

This is literally what, because Kurt and Kentucky asked the very same thing. And I think this is, texture 953-1 said the very same thing. What goes on the outside of your grilled cheese? butter or mayo. Bach, when I tell you this country is split in thirds about most things, grilled cheese is no exception. What do you do with your bread? Do you put butter on the bread, or do you grill it as it? Yeah, I put butter. I use butter. I don't, I'm not a mayo guy.

On the outside? On both sides, basically. On both sides. So you, you foreside the butter. Yeah. Right? So you like having the butter melt into the, into the toast. Yes. Right? You like, you like that. They're people. And I'm not one of those people, but I'm not going to criticize the people to do who use mayo because they said it adds crisp. But the idea of grilling mayo makes my stomach do things. Right? Like it makes, because you're not supposed to heat up mayo that way, right?

I don't think so. I don't like mayonnaise at all. I don't know about heating it up. So are you a tuna? Are you a tuna guy? No, don't eat tuna. What do you put on your sandwich? What's the?

I like sliced ham like you were saying earlier. No, no mayo? No, no. Mustard? No. So you eat your sandwich is plain. I like tomatoes specifically. So kind of that, that would be more the juice.

Well, I mean, that's close, right? Yeah, that would be, yeah, something close to. It's not tasting the mayo. It's the fact that you're grilling the mayo. Like you're heating up the mayonnaise. Right. And they says it doesn't. See, this is how these are friends. Because they're literally all three of them, the same thing at the same time. It does not taste like mayo at all.

I just have never done it. I never done it. D. Train, last voice I listened to last night on my way home from work. And the first thing I hear when leaving for work, thanks, D.P., for all you do it, make everyone in the station. Makes my 15-minute drive better. D-Train, appreciate having you in there. We spent their time celebrating Derek Thomas last. night on the late on the ticket weeknights so a couple says I don't eat steak or

burgers unless they're grilled some might call it boozy but I call it just being a man I I'm not like I'm not against that and quite frankly every I think I think red meat is better on the grill I'm not always sure that's true with chicken it depends on who's working the grill yeah what's worse is lasagna heating up cottage cheese Absolutely why I only eat lasagna the day it's making, right? We don't have to know each other, D.P., it's just a fact. Hey, listen, bro, it is a thing. It's still the thing.

Texas says stir-fry half a bag of frozen stir-frived veggies and add a packet of ramen, no seasoning. Call it my ghetto lo-main, pretty healthy aside from all the soy sauce I add. sounds really good that's not too bad that sounds good that sounds very good actually well done texter well done

man that's good okay um Eric doesn't know for me dog with a mayo I just think that I mean you figured out early you didn't like man yeah I've just never never got into it yeah it's it's there um Kirk and Norrck

the Kentucky says, frying pan. And he has to add three types of cheese. See, that's conceding the rest of your day then. That's a lot of cheese, too. You're adding three cheeses, bro. But there are people.

I have a cousin who in his mac and cheese, he must have four cheeses. He must. And he is so proud of it. Once a month, he makes a video of him making his mac and cheese. and then another like so once he will do the the mac and cheese in a pie then he would do a baked mac and cheese

which is the game changer because then it gets that hard crisp top oh yeah and then he cuts it in in squares and the cheese just pulls and i'm not sure what scientifically that does but it's it's an absolute thing. I'm not sure that, yeah, Texas says, yeah, it's the kids who throw away the lids. I, those are the two things that I just cannot keep. I cannot keep the socks together. Even if I tie them together before I put them in the laundry, a sock is going to go missing. It just goes off into, I mean, the aliens come in, they get, they like laughing at us, so they take the single sock and keep it moving. but the other side of it is Tupperware lids. I've never once just taken the meal without the lid,

and I've never once put the bottom in the lid in the dishwasher separately. Never once. Never once. And it is constantly, but you go to put, where's the top? Where does the top go? And then Becky,

Becky just, she just reaches a point where she's like, I, I just can't. I can't look at this anymore. Every time I open this. And you have your own Tupperware, like, storage space. Mm-hmm. Right? She opens it and they all come tumbling out.

Oh, yeah. Even if I've stacked them perfectly, they come tumbling out. And they're all, it's funny because they're all just, they're all, they're all square or, you know, just different shapes. But the square ones don't match up with the other square ones. They're like some different, some sort of,

different squares. It's the same space. How was that even possible? You make the same shape with a different depth. Yeah. And the same lids and it should work. It should at like Tupperware, you all need to get together that no matter what depth the container has, it has the same top. Yeah. Lids should transfer. A million dollar idea. A text says, Manwich is a hundred times better the day after you make it. See, y'all have set me on the manwich thing now. Like, it's just, it's going to be unforgettable. I'm on board.

I'm on board. I'm on board. There's a thing. Speed doll says, is this sports radio or the food channel? Both. He didn't hear the disclaimer. He doesn't listen to the disclaimer. Like, what do I have to say it again?

One-on-one is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you're going to get. Literally, we go down a rabbit hole. We stayed on the rabbit hole. We're just friends talking. For 18 hours a day, you can get sports. Seven days a week. For a couple of those hours, we may go down the rabbit hole and talk food.

Or life. or dentist or traffic or shoes. Just depends on the day. Buckle in, just go with us, bro. I don't think we're ready for that traffic conversation. After the trip to Kansas City and then lately here in Lincoln. Six hours. Oh, my goodness.

Six hours. Yeah. Six hours. Well, the beauty of it is that the hustlers are at home for the next few weeks. And you don't have to worry about it. If the traffic's bad, you know who did it. You know who did it. And because it's Akron and Houston Christian,

I would imagine that the opponent traffic pool will be substantially smaller. I need to find out, I need to ask Keith Mann, how many tickets both groups bought. Right? That Akron, I can't imagine Akron passing the 6,000 that Cincinnati limited themselves to. I say, isn't that what it's around like 5,000 generally? I don't know. I don't know what I need to ask.

I need to have somebody check that and find out what the visitor's allotment is. But also that some of those become, if they're not, if they're unpurchased, they're returned to the pool and then people get a chance to buy them on game day. And they're not terrible seats, the opponent's seats. So I would think that if you have like nosebleeds, that if you're given the opportunity to buy the opponent's seats, that I would think that the mutual agreement is that those visitor seats aren't terrible. It's interesting.

My dad always took me down to where the visitors were. We like to size up the opponent team. There's such a big line to get into, obviously, for the tunnel walk and to see the Huskers. But you can go pretty much, there's not enough people right from the visiting team and go kind of see him. And especially when it's Ohio State or Wisconsin or somebody, it's always going to be kind of interesting. It seems to good players. Yeah, I mean, that wouldn't be a terrible idea. Like if you're going to the games, especially once you get the big.

10. And I, so I usually on the game, of course, we do the pregame. And then I will go down to the stadium, probably 90 minute mark. Because I will go to the visitor side. I know what Nebraska looks like. Yeah. So I will go to the visitor side of the tunnel. I'll come down that way.

And I'll stand where they run out onto the field, do their warming and stretches, just to see kind of the vibe and hear what they're talking about. And a lot of times you get to hear them talking about. about Nebraska. You get to hear them talking about Memorial Stadium. You get to hear them talking about the crowd. And sometimes it's really interesting to hear what, you know, the Ohio states, the Michigan say about Nebraska fans and what they say about, you know, the stadium. So it's always, and then I will then go down to the Nebraska side and then go up to the booth. It depends. But I can't imagine, I don't know what the Houston Christian alumni base would be.

Right? You would think that, you know, some parents. Parents, like parents will show up. But for a team of 105, and again, you're not, they're not all traveling, right? You bring 80, 75 players on the road. That parents and families, four tickets, but that's, you know, 300 tickets. How many tickets will Akron and Houston Christian occupy? Hmm Now we'll try to do that

We'll try to do White Sharpie, you just said Okay, Bach, I'm going to need your help with this. He says, have you ever tried A cucumber and peanut butter sandwich? No. Yeah, that would be, that's a no. That's a no.

Not interesting. That's a no. Cupsker asked what's the craziest food food combo. Well, there it is. He said he tried instant potatoes, ranch, and a can of tuna. Sounds atrocious, but surprisingly good. You're not the only person I've known that's ever done that.

They take the seasoning, the dry seasoning, and put it with tuna. So people don't like mayo. But the ranch flavor replaces some of it, the need for actual ranch dressing. I dated a woman who her go-to was tuna, a dab of ranch dressing, and rice, and ate.

And she mixed it all up, and that was her daily lunchtime. She prepped it every day. She was, but she was a fitness person. So that was kind of the space. Four cheese baked mac and cheese with brisket in it. Man, you said a thing, latex. You said a thing.

You said a thing. Brian says, oh, yes, the dreaded organizing of the Tupperware drawer. And a two-year-old pull everything out so they collapse and end up all over the floor. I feel your pain. Yep. D. Train asked the question. You all ever eat cold pizza for breakfast? Not since college.

I'm not, I don't even get that. Not since college. Fine, but especially cold, like lukewarm. I'm not even, I'd rather heat it up. Right. Cold, gross. I can't do it. No, I, in college, only because I was, okay, Friday night in a college town as a college student,

the life will sort of take you and do things with you. And sad, you wake up Saturday morning. to get up and go to a 12 o'clock football game. Well, you probably had pizza coming back from the bar, and there's some leftover. Now, you don't want to go empty stomach to another game. One, because what happens once you start getting to the game, what's your pre-game?

More beer. More beer. So you better put something in it, and you didn't have time. And again, there are people who were pre-microw. So you're going to take the time to put it in the oven, little before heat it up, to get it edible, or do you just grab a slice and walk and go? I understand.

I understand. It's not my thing. I understand. We're talking about a break. Come back, we have goodies. Are you talking about the lunchtime? Bach? It's lunchtime.
