Oh you should get another can that's even easier. I should hold on. I just looked over at Blaze's office and he's I Just looked over at blazes office and he's exercising in there and I'm just pulling open the fridge and getting I saw you'd like taking pictures Know what you creep the only thing I heard was you say yes, Blaze, as you were taking pictures. It was creepy, I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Well, that wasn't about Blaze. That was, I was saying yes, Glaze. Oh, glaze. Oh Oh, okay, I'm just gonna let you talk about your cam Cut this out. It's not funny. Okay, that's exactly why I'm leaving it in We're only human they have to learn Not yet, though No, so I was drinking in the last episode which we, so I was drinking, in the last episode, which we just recorded, I was drinking the Finish Long drink, which I bought at Trader Joe's.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Pretty good. The end. And then the other thing I have up here is my Angry Orchard cider. So not quite a cocktail, but I hope you'll indulge me and let me have this. I don't care. Great. That's good enough. I got water and peanuts. Oh
Starting point is 00:03:08 That's yeah, really they what do they call that a sex on the grass? Sex on the peanut farm. Yeah, it's they call it a Jimmy Carter. Oh Jimmy Carter, sorry, I'd like a dirty Jimmy Carter There's no other kind Yeah That's so true in more ways than one if you think about all the farm. Oh, I'm thinking about all of it Alright the did he die He died we you asked me that if Jimmy Carter died once a month on this show
Starting point is 00:03:42 Drew yes On the show, but it's pretty often. Okay. When AI finally takes over, I'm going to be like, just pull me all the episodes where Zandy mentions him and then we're going to like really get to the bottom of it. I promise you there's a listener who's going to eventually like re-listen and think about that. And it'll be like one other time.
Starting point is 00:04:01 It'll be one other time. I know. So don't go looking because I feel feel like everyone's gonna prove me wrong, but I promise you we've talked about it. I think Charissa is already thinking about it. Charissa, okay. Cocktail recipes, I'll go first. Fine.
Starting point is 00:04:15 There were no emails left for me when Alexander had ravaged them all, so I ended up having to do my work all by my own. This is the first time, maybe the second time that that's happened, so let me have it. No, maybe the first, it's the first, which is why it was so alarming. Here's a recipe from Allrecipes.com, classic old fashioned.
Starting point is 00:04:36 And Holliday Baker, who's an all-star on Allrecipes, left it a two-star review. I thought this was going to grow hair on my chest. This was so super strong. I bought some Jameson whiskey for a dinner recipe and had some leftover and decided to try a classic cocktail. This tasted like whiskey on ice. I tried to modify it by doubling
Starting point is 00:05:02 and then tripling the simple syrup, doubling the oranges and squeezing them all in and then adding in a couple splashes of cherry juice from the jar It made it a bit more palatable then but it still tasted too strong to drink I wish I wouldn't have spent the extra money on the bottle of bitters now. It couldn't be tasted anyway I don't know what to think. Maybe I just don't like whiskey Anyway, I don't know what to think. Maybe I just don't like whiskey? Hmm. Hmm, oh, hmm.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Hmm, it literally had a question. It sounded like it was you saying that. No, it says I don't know what to think, question mark. Maybe, comma, I just don't like whiskey, question mark. Like as if we're supposed to fill in. And then it says hmm. The fact that it says hmm. 25 people found this helpful and I think.
Starting point is 00:05:43 They're lying? No, I think they're saying, oh, I don't like whiskey either. This is helpful to me. What? But it's an old fashioned. Of course, am I, I don't know. Yeah, okay. I guess if you don't know what an old fashioned is, I mean.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Because I do, I don't like it because I don't like the taste of whiskey. Yeah, same. At the end. If it had like vodka in it, I wouldn't mind it. But the whiskey, so I feel like they've come to this conclusion and everyone's like, oh, I mean, the ingredients list is kind of a clue, probably. Like, isn't it three ingredients? Yeah. That's the thing is like, I don't think that's very helpful to learn from that
Starting point is 00:06:19 review that you don't like whiskey because you're right. If you don't like whiskey, just don't drink it. I feel like the likes who find the people who find it helpful are the ones Oftentimes who don't want to leave a review but are agree. Yeah peeved or something. Yeah, but like I feel but also they did mention didn't they mention like Their ish specific issues with the recipe like I don't know the amounts of things. It was all a blur Yeah, it was a blur. That's what happens when you're having fun It basically just says
Starting point is 00:06:50 That they had to like triple quadruple the simple syrup to try and make it sweeter and then they poured cherry juice from the From the bot maraschino cherry jar into the drink. This is just someone realizing they don't like whiskey. Yeah orange juice into the drink And that's that yeah, I Don't think it's really yeah, you can't hide the taste of whiskey from me. It's not no that's no it's gonna come through yeah my first one this was sent in by Kelly she her who sent in a review of a Recipe for made in Cuba, M-A-I-D, made in Cuba, which is a daiquiri freshened with mint and the cucumber opened with a splash of soda. Okay. Here we go. This is a comment on this forum. It's not
Starting point is 00:07:41 technically a review, but here we go Absolutely no freaking way. I'm doing all that. I'm a spritz that thing and call it a day end of review I mean, I get it. That's the only comment I think the only comment then like why would you say that? Oh maybe there's one above it I can't tell but yeah, if there are not like million like oh yeah, no There's one page of comments at the minimum Yeah, that's probably not the one comment out of a handful that they want on there Yeah, they're just like no not even doing it This looks complicated
Starting point is 00:08:22 Okay, so now this is when I discovered, I went down a little bit of a rabbit hole about Bahama Mamas. Oh. Which famously was something we drank as children. The mocktail variety. Yeah. At least I think. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:41 At least you think it was a mocktail? Yeah. You never know. Yeah, you never know. Yeah, you do, Christina. It was not. It was not. It was not. Because we literally would put orange juice and grapefruit juice. Is that all it is?
Starting point is 00:08:55 I'm just kidding. Okay? No. I was going to ask you what you think is in it. Those two things. No. Yeah, it doesn't sound right, but that's what I associate with it. Okay, there are multiple recipes.
Starting point is 00:09:08 This is where it all kind of got muddled for me. Get it? Who is the original, yes, I do, Bahama Mama. I thought it was our stepmom. Oh, yeah. She would always say, call me Bahama Mama. Yeah, and she is from the Bahamas. No, but she bought me a shirt from there.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Oh. That was her first gift to me ever, so it does kind of fit. The shirt. No, the shirt does not fit. I was, yeah, six-year-old me was slightly different proportions. Okay, here's the original drink.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Now this is why I got mixed up, okay? Let me read you this review of a Bahama Mama on allrecipes.com. This is like their signature Bahama Mama recipe. And TrendyZD9800 gave it one star and said, terrible recipe. Omit the grenadine and add Kaluwa. Plenty of correct recipes on the web. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Oh. So now I'm thinking Kaluwa? Those are very different. Isn't that gonna curdle? Like what are you talking about? So then I start looking online and like I don't see this Kaluwa thing. I mean, maybe that's just like a certain variety
Starting point is 00:10:23 if you type Kaluwa in, but I just looked up like Bahama Mama recipe and none of them had Kaluah. But this one does. So, you know, some of them do. As in this commenter? Sorry, no, I just found a website that does have it. But I had to type Kaluah in. On the dark web. That's how insane this one is. I had to type Kaluah in to the search bar. On the dark web, that's how insane this one is. I had to download that extension that lets my Chrome enter the dark web, and then I found the Kaluah, traces of Kaluah in my Bahama Mama. I guess that is a version of the recipe.
Starting point is 00:10:56 However, it looks like the original recipe is, the original drink uses a mix of coconut rum, dark overproof rum, Kaluwa- OH! Wait. Christina. I was wrong. Everybody in the- listening is gonna start screaming. They've been screaming for five whole minutes. So, hang on.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Okay. That was so good. Hang on. I was wrong. We all know, you don't have to admit it. I know, but however. Oh, that was good. Now that is on Magpie, the kitchen Magpie, but all recipes and delish both have ones without.
Starting point is 00:11:44 But the original one suppose well That's what that's what kitchen magpie says is the original recipe So I'm like, I don't know what the literal oh here AI will tell me that is our set mom's username AI no the magpie kitchen magpie Are you sure it's not wandering Wanda or whatever? Okay That does, are you sure it's not wandering Wanda or whatever we said? I'm not sure. Oh no, that was last episode. Okay, Bahama Mama, okay, AI says, unfortunately the original recipe for the Bahama Mama
Starting point is 00:12:10 is unknown and there are multiple conflicting accounts of its origin. I trust AI just as much as that Magpie lady. Right, exactly. And it says here, most recipes feature rum, fruit juice, grenadine, and ice. But then there are variations where you add either banana liqueur or coffee liqueur.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Banana liqueur sounds fucking amazing in it. Honestly, any of it sounds good. Something about the coffee liqueur is hurting me, but it mentally, but. You know what? I feel silly for questioning it because I really, really like this orange blossom syrup that I've had in my coffee here in New York Yeah, I guess orange is kind of having like a little moment like the orange wine is really big orange syrups and things
Starting point is 00:12:58 Blossoms, I mean that sounds delicious. So honestly, I probably would love it. Okay, I'm just saying that this person said terrible recipe blah blah blah, okay. Oh Never mind that was the end of that section and we're gonna move on to yours and then we'll get back to my thing I can't wait. There's a break stuff to clarify. I'm so glad I'm knowing you what's going on over there I'm so glad I'm listed as a producer on multiple projects because I can obviously really keep the ball rolling and keep us on task And I know what's happening all the time. Totally. My next one is also from Kelly and this is of the hurricane cocktail, a classic, and this is on the website bbcgoodfood.com. We just had that in NOLA. Oh yes we did. Here is a comment under the hurricane cocktail recipe.
Starting point is 00:13:49 What site is this? BBCgoodfood.com. Okay. Here's a comment. I got really drunk on this stuff. End of comment. Wait that's so good they're like I gotta let them know. And then there's a response from BBC Good Support. Thank you for your comment. We are glad you got wasted, playa. End of review. It doesn't say that. It doesn't say that.
Starting point is 00:14:14 No, it says playa. With three A's. Is this like a troll account? Well, three A's at the end. Yeah, it's not. Oh my God. I was like, some intern they hired is not even in college yet. I was like some intern they hired is not even in call
Starting point is 00:14:25 I was glad you like asked again for the website name because I was like yes, that's good. Let's keep it fresh in our minds Did anyone find that helpful cuz I do know there That was not that I'm having to like figure out how to stop those comments, being the BBC and being like, that's not us. So here's the next one I have. This is of a Mai Tai. Yum. What? Yum.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Yum. One star by Fun Bagel. Okay, so you can tell that there's clearly an algorithm with adjective food items. So Trendy ZD, which looks like zit. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Funbagle7977 says, one star, there's no pineapple juice in a Mai Tai, you idiots.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Go to liquor.com or imbibe for a real recipe. End of review. They just get so angry. They do, they do. Like they take it personally. Yeah. Exactly. And this, the reason I was going to even tell you
Starting point is 00:15:29 about any of this is that the recipe- I'd love to know. The reviews on all the Mai Tai's are like, this is a Bahama Mama. And like the Mai Tai recipe was like rum, orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine. And everyone was like, this is a my tie, or I'm sorry, this is a Bahama Mama.
Starting point is 00:15:48 And I'm like, is it? I don't fucking know anymore. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I think all the commenters lost their minds. It's like, just make it how you want then. Yeah. Yeah, they're looking it up and then they're like, this isn't, what? They have a general idea mean, they're looking it up and then they're like, this isn't like
Starting point is 00:16:05 they have like a general idea of what they're expecting. They want a real like the specifics of a recipe and then they keep finding ones that are like have other ingredients, I guess. But it's like you seem to know a lot about it. So why don't you do your own recipe? I do that only because I try to find. I'm like, oh, that's too complicated. I'm like, yes. I'm like, I only have four ingredients.
Starting point is 00:16:24 You can't add six more. Yeah. Anyway, yes. I'm like, I only have four ingredients. You can't add six more. Anyway, everybody. Oh, here we go. Sorry, I forgot this. This is one of the other comments. This is not a Mai Tai. There isn't even Orgyat.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I don't even know what that is. I don't know either. It sounds like Urgot poisoning, which is like what they think may have caused the mass dance hysteria. Oh, like Urgot from League of Legends. I don't think so. Okay, I have a review sent in by Trista. Wait, no, I'm trying to tell you.
Starting point is 00:16:53 What? I thought you were done about the dancing. No, I wanted to know if you knew what Orgyat was. No, I know who Urgot is. It's a sweet almond flavored syrup, okay. Oh, I forgot, Okay. It's poison. This is not a Mai Tai. There isn't even Org yet.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Stop posting this and calling it a Mai Tai. This is a Bahama Mama. End of review. So I just want to bring one to say. Okay. There's a lot of debate here. What we drank was orange juice. I thought it was cranberry and pineapple.
Starting point is 00:17:22 No. I'm pretty sure we just mixed orange juice and grapefruit juice because they were always available. I don't think I think there was cranberry juice at least because she liked to have the layered colors. OK, maybe. And then maybe it was just when she was having cocktails and she would just give us, you know, mocktail one. So maybe it was whenever she had she always had like cranberry
Starting point is 00:17:44 because it's I don't know. I feel like that wasn't a thing she had a lot. I guess. I'm talking about. Bahama Mama. Bahama Mama. What was the other thing you said was her username? Kitchen Magpie.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Oh yeah, that's right. I was looking at the ones I brought and I'm like, Fun Bagel. Do I don't think we call her that? Trendy ZD, I don't think we call her that. Trendy ziti. I don't think we call her that. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I've got one from Trista here. This is of a book called Mock Tales on Amazon.
Starting point is 00:18:16 This is a one-star review titled, What a Weird Book. Okay. This book mostly sits around taking up space because I don't know what planet you need to visit or which grocery store to go to if you want to get the ingredients that they're calling for here. Elderflower syrup, kaffir lime leaves, kaffir lime leaves, rice wine vinegar, apricot juice, Oh my. ingredients lists that are from another planet. Not sure how anybody thinks this book is any good. Is this what I need to do to be sober now? Because this book really makes me want to have a drink, but it ain't gonna be a mocktail lol. End of review. Whoa! I love how they have like some
Starting point is 00:19:20 somewhat difficult to get things mixed in with like carrot juice. Yeah. I'm sorry. Rice wine vinegar you can get at any grocery store nowadays, I think. But I don't know. I mean, I get it. Some of it I was like, yeah, you'd have to go to specialty spots, which aren't necessarily common everywhere. The one that got me was apricot juice.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Like that one, I was like, you probably have to go to a health food store or something. But also, if you think about it. Juice of carrot or? Was it apricot juice? Yeah. Like that one, I was like, you probably have to go to a health food store or something. Yeah. But also, if you think about it. Like carrot juice, just juice a carrot or? Like, I don't want a drink with, I don't want a cocktail alcoholic, or especially not alcoholic, with kimchi in it. And I love kimchi, but like, I don't want that in my drink.
Starting point is 00:19:58 So it's like, just skip that page, I guess. Yeah. But also, it's not a different- That's interesting. I would try whatever it is. Planet, it's a different country, all right? Yeah, I know. You asshole. They're being an planet. It's a different country. All right, yeah Like all this like for sure what? Planet do I need to visit to find it's literally you need to go to Walmart and they're gonna have a lot of this
Starting point is 00:20:13 Right like fuck off another planet. It's fucking annoying. Um, but yeah Elder flowers here a juice like they did have some things in there and you probably Flour syrup. Parajouice, like they did have some things in there. And even elderflower syrup. I feel like you can get that, yeah. You can probably buy that at like a nice liquor store where they have like the, all the bitters and all that shit. This person's just being embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Especially when they said they could go on and on. I'm like, please, I'd love to know what other things you would like. Okay, I literally was like, this is the first time I've ever thought, please do. Cause usually I'm like, stop. But this one I was like, I'd like to hear more of what ingredients are in here It's like it's an opportunity to be like, oh I get to try new things like how exciting you're like
Starting point is 00:20:50 I don't know what this stuff is and like you can go to the store and ask somebody where can I get this? I don't know. That's cool. I will say obviously can use the internet So I think you can Google things but M doesn't drink but they're always on the hunt for mocktails, but they hate when they have alcohol equivalent tastes. M's not into alcohol at all, so it's more like the fun of the drink and the juice and tastiness. So people will be like, here's a club soda with bitters and a squeeze of lime and some thing.
Starting point is 00:21:27 And M's like, no. And I'm like, I don't even want to drink that. But it's a lot. So I feel like this is more for the, like, the connoisseur of a mocktail. I mean, when it says kimchi and juices, I'm like, that's not gonna taste like a fruity fund drink. That's no, it's gonna, I'd be curious. I'd be curious, but it probably doesn't go down easy.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Yeah. I mean, yeah, but not exactly curious, but it probably doesn't go down easy. Yeah, I mean, yeah, but not Exactly. A lot of alcohol doesn't go down easy. You've seen me on stage in Chicago That's why mocktails should be delicious. I'd rather drink kimchi juice Than have a have a shot of malort. You're so wrong. I would i'm not kidding. I love kimchi I love it. So I would actually drink the juice before absolutely before like any alcohol. No, that's insane Oh, same with our crowd rather have some alcohol if someone's giving it to me I'm good I completely shot of kimchi. I'd rather have the kimchi juice. Give me the shot like nine times out of ten actually
Starting point is 00:22:24 Oh, maybe ten What if it was something yummy like what? Give me the shot like nine times out of ten actually oh Maybe ten What is something yummy like what? Like a shot of like one of those like fuzzy navels Doesn't sound yummy, it's really delicious like orange creamsicle flavored. Yeah, but it still burns probably no I'm we don't know if it's and I just love actually sue me. Oh, it's schnapps and orange juice. No. I'm weak, Christina. And I just love kimchi. Sue me. Oh, it's schnapps and orange juice.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Ew, okay, yeah, schnapps, uh-uh. It's literally so sweet. You don't even know. Yeah, I do. I can tell. I can tell. Give me the kimchi. ["The Best Show Theme"]

Starting point is 00:24:17 As you probably guessed, this is a Nancy Fuller original recipe. Oh, wow, this was a Fuller one? Huh. It was. And Nancy, apparently according to some of the comments She and her partner, I guess are just the greatest pair. I don't know. Okay Well you but usually the the fullers they like to like do recipes for the clear alcohols Like they usually don't touch whiskey. That's so so this is interesting I'm curious to hear how this goes I'm confused you said this is a Fuller original who wrote this recipe no mm-hmm yeah and the Fullers normally
Starting point is 00:24:54 don't do recipes for whiskey based drinks so I'm curious about this Well You do know that she's a warm loving mother to six and grandmother to 13, right? Of course christina And she's also the owner of ginsburg's foods a multi-million dollar business she runs with her husband We go way back. You know all the way back to the 17th century farmhouse. She lives in yeah Oh, we went way back in there. Yeah. Nancy's food represent her surroundings on the farm. What? All those fucking grandkids running around yapping. I thought it was like manure situation, but no, she's apparently a food network chef, host and judge, and looks like she knows what she's doing.
Starting point is 00:25:42 But sometimes she and like Valerie and I like will go hang out somewhere. Valerie Parhill. Don't talk about Valerie. You know, I said don't talk about. You guys, Valerie posted this thing on Instagram. I forgot about this. We really wanted to share it and we were like, that's inappropriate. So I said the next time Valerie comes up on the podcast, I'll have to say it.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I sent Alexander a screenshot of Valerie Parhill's post and it was of these two old people and it said Two old people Up it's I just was scrolling I didn't know who this was I just see two old people and then I read it and it says Mother and daddy are so beloved to me or whatever the fuck and I said it's alexander and he's like mother and daddy Her personality it this was really it was really something folks So, you know if you want to check out here they are it's fun to get like they have some white pillars behind them You know, it looks sort of like they're on a plantation I'm sure they were mother and daddy were married for 65 years. If you asked them for their secret to a happy marriage
Starting point is 00:26:47 they would have told you their close bond in Christ. They couldn't say something about each other. Oh, hold on. Their close bond in Christ, respect for each other, and a good sense of humor. Okay. Okay. Hashtag marriage wisdom hashtag house to home by Valerie. Hashtag home decor. Valerie. Hashtag home decorating ideas, what are you talking about? Plantation style?
Starting point is 00:27:15 Yeah. I don't know that they are on a plantation. It really just looks like it with the columns, that's all I'll say. But hey. But hey. I'm 65 years, holy shit. Mother and daddy love Jesus. That's crazy. Like impressive. But hey. But hey. I'm 65 years, holy shit. Mother and daddy love Jesus.
Starting point is 00:27:25 That's crazy. Like impressive. They're bonded in Christ. I'm not knocking it, but no thank you. Here is the- Can you imagine being married to the same person for 65 years, Christina? Is that gonna be you?
Starting point is 00:27:36 I don't think we're gonna live that long. Ah, Celebration Manhattans from the Food Network. Oh yeah. Here's a one star view by Hey Now Easy, which I'm already like mad at. It's another rock star. I'm like, don't tell me that. What?
Starting point is 00:27:51 It's another rock star. All-star. What's a rock star? Not rock star. Oh, all-star. One-star. Terrible recipe for a Manhattan. As you never shake bourbon, it bruises the flavor. Oh. Loses the profile of the bourbon
Starting point is 00:28:07 itself and turns your cocktail into a watery mess. Second, a good Manhattan will use a ratio of bourbon to sweet vermouth at either three to one or four to one depending on your preference for sweetness. This recipe promotes a six to one ratio which completely changes the flavor profile. I will agree with her addition of the cherry. Don't ever serve a guest or yourself a Manhattan
Starting point is 00:28:30 without the requisite cherry. End of review. Now, Grace responded. I like cherries. And Grace is not Nancy Fuller, and she's not Grace Fuller, she's just Grace. Yeah, so I don't really care. So how you supposed to mix up the drink, huh?
Starting point is 00:28:48 You didn't say. First of all, I guess by stirring it, but okay. It's fine. They're usually, yeah, there are two ways I know, but yeah. Yeah. And why not change the flavor profile? You can still call it a Manhattan because it still has the same ingredients.
Starting point is 00:29:02 That's also not necessarily true. No, it's kind of like a pizza, you know? That's true, but also it's like when you drink it, a lot of people disagree with, but... But it easily becomes something different with other ingredients. I don't know, Christina, if it's the exact same ingredients, and suddenly it's a Bahama Mama, the original.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Hmm, I don't know. Interesting. Here we go. You can still call it a Manhattan because it still has the same ingredients. I prefer a sweeter Manhattan. A 4 to 1 ratio isn't enough for me. Of course, I usually drink Jose Cuervo hardcore with Coke back. If you're any kind of bartender, you'll understand that. Or gin and tonic with lemon i can hear you now saying oh no not lemon it's supposed to be gin and tonic with lime ha lol end of comment hey i didn't realize
Starting point is 00:29:52 a six to one was six sweet to one whiskey i'm in i'm in for that like i reacted because i thought it was six whiskey to one vermouth i'm like that's crazy that makes a lot more sense we should tell that other person who doesn't like whiskey that there's another option to try exactly whiskey to one vermouth. I'm like, that's crazy. That makes a lot more sense. We should tell that other person who doesn't like whiskey that there's another option to try. Exactly. Six to one ratio. Although I think that is what they did with all the drinks and sugar.
Starting point is 00:30:12 It's like a Manhattan Jr., okay? But like, I think you could still call it a Manhattan. That's like a, like, you know, I see it. Cause there's probably, like I've said, you cannot hide the taste of whiskey. This review, however, never says it's not a Manhattan. I've said to be high the whiskey this Review however Never says it's not a Manhattan. It just says it's a terrible recipe for okay, okay, and then they say oh this recipe a
Starting point is 00:30:37 Good Manhattan will use a ratio so they're saying like okay This is a bad recipe yeah, which I think is fair. Yeah, you're right. So this person got really, really offended for, like, and took it very personally for some reason. Like it is, yeah, just took it really personally, which is sort of like, why do you care? Because at first I saw that they had a Food Network logo in the profile and I thought, like, is this, is this Nancy? And then I realized, oh, every new account has a Food Network profile.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Okay, okay. So it's not like someone behind the scenes who got really- That's a bad idea. It's just, I agree, It's just a random user. I would just make mine the BBC. Yeah, just a different... Or like Delish logo. Delish. Oh yeah, the Delish logo.
Starting point is 00:31:17 If you're any... I usually drink Jose Cuervo hardcore. That one's pretty hardcore. What makes it hardcore? Like straight? hardcore. That was pretty hardcore. What makes it hardcore? Like straight? Well, the thing is that hardcore in this instance is not capitalized and Jose Cuervo is, so I'm like, is it a type of Jose Cuervo or is it like you drink it hardcore? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:36 You know what I mean? That sounds also bad, so I don't know. It's not a thing. Okay, okay. So they're just saying they're hardcore? They're literally saying, I drink it hardcore. Or they're literally saying I drink it hardcore or they're being Sarcastic somehow. I don't know this person. It may be scares me. So I'm just gonna be move on from them. I can hear you now. Oh No lemon
Starting point is 00:31:57 That's pretty funny weirdly you have said that yeah, this person is projecting something My next one here is from Stacey and this is a review of a restaurant awful Blah blah blah awful Arthur's oyster bar Okay, I love that yeah, and this is in Excuse me kill devil hills, North Carolina Excuse me kill devil hills, North Carolina City name I've ever heard that is amazing and with a name like that You got to step your restaurant name up to match the energy and I really appreciate that they did that
Starting point is 00:32:35 Yes, they did. This is where the Wright Brothers National Memorial is You like I've heard Tim say that that makes sense. Oh You know what he did say he said he found mom a little south and nags head woods preserve Got her got her he did not nor he would he say that You're sitting it just sitting it for a moment wash over you Let it wash over you. Okay, Kill Devil Hill, North Carolina. Our awful Arthur's Oyster Bar. Fantastic. Well, the place is named appropriately...
Starting point is 00:33:13 Awful! Super fried, super generic food. What warrants the two stars? Getting shrimp cocktail that has not been cleaned. You're literally eating shrimp shit if you eat these small gross shrimp all while paying high-end prices for a large shrimp Everything is fried in what tastes like old stale oil gross Okay, cute t-shirts, but if you want food go somewhere else end of review Is there profile photo them wearing an awful Arthur's and they were just like it's actually a picture of a crosswalk from
Starting point is 00:33:49 underneath the shadowy umbrella oh okay it's really kind of creepy looking like it like they're spying on someone anyway that was a shrimp cocktail recipe if that wasn't clear oh my god I'm so stupid. Okay, so this shrimp cocktail recipe includes shrimp poop. Yes Line yeah, they tell you to D vein. Oh like thing is like You eat like not like Sharon here who wrote the review Sharon Yeah, you like a lot worse than a little fish like flesh and stuff like won't can maybe not flesh in this case I just called it shroop. I just called it shroop. Shroop? Oh, I said shrimp poop. I said shroop and I just thought shroop shit
Starting point is 00:34:33 Yeah, and I just yeah, you're right. Like you eat way creepier stuff probably that you don't know about and also like Like if you've eaten chicken McNuggets in your life, come on. You can not. If you've ever eaten fried shrimp, they probably didn't fucking deep in that. That's so true. You just don't see it. That's so true, yeah. So I feel like any sort of shrimp at a restaurant that's like frying stuff and whatever, you don't know. They could just be cutting it up.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Yeah. Oh well, okay, what do I have here? This is a recipe of a white Russian. And it's a one, so this, strangely, this page, it's on Epicurious.com. It has one review, but its average rating is 1.3 stars. Oh, does it have like ratings without people writing a review? Oh no, look, it has two, no, it has two reviews here. Oh, okay, but it doesn't give any star ratings. So it just says that two people hate it.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Oh, okay. One just says worst drink recipe ever. That's anonymous. Now this one with my nickname back home, Schöne Augen says, this is a terrible recipe. By the way, have you ever had a white Russian I believe so I've also had come in a cup which is my god what oat milk and vodka
Starting point is 00:35:53 are you made that up yeah don't Google that Jesus I didn't Google it Christ I'm not sorry your hands are white Russian recipe I know it was bad it was oat milk and vodka I did it on a stream once yeah you made that that's an Alexander that was fucking foul that was so gross I feel like I know nobody feels sorry for you you should have known that I'm not asking for that a classic three ingredient cocktail that combines vodka Kahlua and cream mmm yeah here is the review from Schöne Augen. This is a terrible recipe. I had a 16 ounce glass so I doubled it and it was more than stiff so I altered it. Here are my corrections. Are you gonna write this down? Oh dear god no. With oat milk though. And no cool. I was
Starting point is 00:36:41 using what? I gotta like take out a couple things for my own recipe great. Because of make it vegan. No substitutions. What? Except for these. I was using half and half instead of heavy cream. I added five ounces of skim milk to the two ounces for a 16 ounce glass of half and half although for this drink I recommend two percenter whole. You could even skip the cream with those. I also added two more ounces of the creme de cacao. It was still a tad stiff after that so I added another ounce of half and half after that it was much better end of review Wow I Wish they had just said like I love how they went through their whole like Process step by step like this other stuff your more of that like and it still wasn't good And it still wasn't like just then tell us what's good
Starting point is 00:37:27 I just wanted to know like what kind of struggle how many types of milk do you have at your house? That's a lot Fuck I mean talk about like going to another planet you have half and half heavy cream skim milk 2% whole they brought they said all of those Was using half and half instead of heavy cream. I added 5 ounces of skim of half and half. I recommend 2% or whole. Maybe they didn't even try that. I also added 2 more ounces. Okay, whatever. I don't know, man. Unless they're like people with different preferences within the household, I don't know. Having all those seems kind of weird. Well, yeah. I don't know having all those seems kind of weird
Starting point is 00:38:08 Well, yeah, I don't know. I mean, what do I know? Don't get me started cuz here is a review This was sent in by blue and this is actually a book that you have This is semen ology the semen bartender's handbook. Parentheses semen cooking. Who gave me this? Am I wrong? This is at a show. Yeah, or in Portland, of course.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Where else? Who gave that to me? In Portland. What's in Portland? That's where we were given them in person. I know, I said who gave it to me though? Oh, I don't know. I forget their name.
Starting point is 00:38:37 I can picture them. It was a group. Was it Carissa? Carissa brought us- Was that, was Carissa the one who gave us that? Carissa brought us cards. No,issa the one who gave us those cards no No, you shouldn't that's why I'm just shutting up because I forget I haven't believe it or not
Starting point is 00:38:53 I haven't cracked it open so I don't know if there's a note written on the inside or if there's a note separately that I Lost which is probably the case anyway blue sent this in and this is a one-star review, and I don't think we've read this review because I We've read a review at least one of this before So this is the same one whatever this whole concept is distrubing Yeah, and There's a cookbook as well OMG, is this even legal?
Starting point is 00:39:32 I can tell you it doesn't have a great taste to begin with so why oh why do you want to? Enhance the natural taste through what I can only think are fetish cook slash cocktail bar doodoo's dude they do you D U D U E S I don't know what they're doing I think they had one too many semen cocktails I was about to say cocktails okay imagine a white Russian just urinate on people's faces like a decent human being and stop this madness. End of review. 18 people found this helpful.
Starting point is 00:40:10 I mean, as someone who is really schkeaved about the semen in the drinks, I kind of agree. It should be illegal or what? Which part? No. Like, can't we just pee on each other and call it a day? Like, do I need to go on it? Oh, so there's a line.
Starting point is 00:40:29 There's a line that you get to say that where people, I can't do this, they can do that, but they can't do this. Here's what I'll say, I just don't want them to, like, shove it in my face, you know? And that's true. Some people didn't really shove that book in your face. No, but I did have this same holdup when we first discussed it.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Like, I want to be like, ew, grass. I'm like, listen, I don't know what I did have a book in your face when we first discussed it like I want to be like Yeah, so I'm like, I don't know what you're going to you know, I think the people who are into this Like and that's what I feel is seems to be generally the case Like if you're not being a dick like you're fine Like yeah people have preferences and I think they know that a lot of people would find this gross. Okay fair I'd like to think they're self-aware enough to be like, yeah Making if this is even like something people do like it feels like and we but we never found out if it was like a gag Yeah, like a real thing, but like there's a full book of recipes So and you know people have tried them so it's not like, yeah, like, you know, you just have to know someone did

Starting point is 00:42:16 Get ready to laugh, learn, and lawyer up with The Bravo Docket. I'm all out. Oh, I've got one more and then my challenge. So here's a review that was sent in by Shroomy, who sent in a review of a classic daiquiri. This is on what's that main one? All recipes. Yeah And it has a 4.9 out of 5 but Only 8 reviews, but here is a 5 star review. This was a Patrick Washburn original by the way 5 stars by Frank
Starting point is 00:43:00 When I was a bartender near a doctor's office I had a doctor come every day at happy hour for a walnut daiquiri One day I ran out of walnuts all I had wait wait wait wait wait. What's a walnut daiquiri? I don't know Frank's are never what Frank's the bartender well, but I'm like a With it just go with it. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is not important One day I ran out of walnuts. All I had was hickory nuts, so I used those. When he tasted it, he said, What is this?
Starting point is 00:43:31 I said, That's a hickory dacory dock. I'm sorry. I knew I knew to give you the space. Yeah. Yeah, you did. Clearly. Um. I knew, but I didn't follow my own. Yeah, that's very good. Hickory-dackory-dock is really fucking excellent. Oh, wait, but first, you know, just like last week,
Starting point is 00:43:53 so you reacted very strongly to our voicemail that you're bringing to the table today. Oh, yes, yes. You're reacting now because you completely forgot. I did. I'm really excited about this. This is a voicemail we received from our patron, Katie Shide. Hello, Sheifer Sibs. It's Katie from Albany, New York
Starting point is 00:44:13 here. So I posted this in the Patreon Facebook group a little while ago and I figured it was kind of funny. So if this is funny to you, please feel free to play this on the pod. Now I will do a beach to Sandy dramatic style reading of my own post. So here it goes. When Zandy was telling his story of being left in the chair at the dentist, it reminded me of this core memory. When I was a small child, I was at the orthodontist getting my retainer adjusted. I was in the chair and the doctor left for a long time and didn't come back.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Eventually so long passed that I got out of the chair to look around. I found my mom and the doctors and nurses staring at the TV. It was 9-11. End of memory. So I hope you enjoyed that trauma. Okay, that's all I have for now as we fans always say. Okay, so now they're- Cut it off. Cut off. We're done. Honestly, probably the NSA was like, that's enough.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I will say there is I just noticed the truth. I swear to God, I just noticed that there is a follow up from Katie. Oh, that's 14 seconds. OK, so I'm going to download that real quick because I don't know what it says. So we're all going to learn together. But I'm going to be I'm going to be honest. Yeah. Not that I thought 9-11 was happening, but that's my mind when there's something wrong
Starting point is 00:45:46 Yeah, like they're all with yours. Yeah, I was upside down listening to chumbawumba and they were gone for like 15 minutes and I had no idea what to do Yeah, I thought something was wrong right like they even said there was an issue. Yeah, I mean they just I don't know like yeah, but that was after he came back And something yeah, I think they'd like messed up the charts or something but like I thought something was wrong wrong like either with me or like in the world or Something anyway, you never know I mean Probably is something wrong with the world Okay, this is the follow-up that I have not yet listened to, so let's take a listen.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Okay, the very end got cut off, so feel free to edit this together or just interject when it gets cut off. As we fans always say, stay sandy. Well, it was worth the wait because I thought, I thought it might say, it probably says Stay Sandy, but maybe it's some other new thing we can co-opt. You never know, you never know. It's something we could have made merch out of.
Starting point is 00:46:54 That's right. As if we've used Stay Sandy to make merch. Yeah, we quite haven't. We haven't, we don't have. We've quite leaned into that. I don't know. Maybe this is our sign. Thank you, Katie, so much.
Starting point is 00:47:04 And also, sorry. If you have your own 9-Eleven story from childhood. No, if you have a story that you want to tell, please go on to our Patreon.com There's a link to our special voicemail. You just upload an audio file
Starting point is 00:47:20 of yourself. Don't be shy. And we'll give it a listen and potentially air it on the show. Okay, it's time for my challenge. Challenge was to find reviews where they blamed the wind for ruining the experience. I'm excited. Mm-hmm, you should be.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Got a good amount. Here is my first one. This is sent in by Rachel. She they. This is a one-star review of Point Reyes National Seashore Lighthouse Point It's like northwest of San Francisco. Oh My goodness with 40 mile per hour winds going on
Starting point is 00:47:56 I would not even recommend this place to my worst enemy. The wind was seriously unbearable It's so strong and aggressive. You cannot enjoy a simple 0.4 mile walk to the lighthouse. I was extremely disappointed. That's pretty good for some of these lighthouses, I will say. All things considered, it is a long and curvy drive here. There is no food nearby and the wind is painful, causing lots of ear pain. The views were just not that impressive in comparison. The water was very gray and gloomy despite the bright blue skies.
Starting point is 00:48:32 I would not come back here. There are much nicer beaches without the wind and hassle of a drive. To be fair, other parts of the Point Reyes National Seashore were not nearly as windy. We visited the Cypress Tree Tunnel and that was a cool view, but again, I wouldn't drive hours to visit it on its own. End of review. And I don't know. There's like a staircase that's 313 steps, that's what they say, going down towards the lighthouse and it looks pretty fucking sick.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Like the ocean behind and like a lighthouse perched at the end And you're like walking down to it steps 313 steps, right? But like if there's a lot of wind it might only take you like four steps and you're already Yeah, I think the winds going the other way. So actually that helps going up. Oh Just kind of like yeah, you just like kind of billow your shirt out. That's why they call it nature's escalator. Oh I hadn't hurt that one. That's good But yeah, I would love to go there one day and yeah, like clearly this person wasn't there for the lighthouse because it's so windy though Yeah, I know but I would be there for the lighthouse not for like to stand and enjoy the views of it
Starting point is 00:49:42 I want to like touch it. I like touching lighthouses. Sue me. Here is a review sent in by Melissa and this is of Grand Canyon National Park and then I have an article to read afterwards. Okay. Here's a one-star review. Went here with my husband and kids. The experience was wonderful until a sudden gust of wind appeared out of nowhere. Much to my surprise, my pants were gone. My daughter's brand new Lululemon pants were ripped off. What? End of review. And I was like, okay, that seems silly.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Like they're being silly. That kind of seems like nonsense, but now you're telling me there's an article. So what's going on? Yeah. But I, but the thing is, Melissa had sent in multiple reviews and there was a second review that mentioned wind pants coming off and it was of the Grand Canyon. So I was like, this must be a thing like as a like a thing on the Internet.
Starting point is 00:50:38 And so that's when I Googled it. And there's an article on Tucson dot com titled odd Internet trend has Grand Canyon reviewers saying they lost their pants. What? Yeah, and apparently there are a lot. I genuinely thought the article was gonna be like, mother or daughter lose their Lululemon pants.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Like I thought it was like gonna like verify the story. So this is just a weird trend. That's even weirder. And they're saying they like, people don't know how it started. Like they don't know the beginning of it. Okay, I do have a theory.irder. And they're saying people don't know how it started. OK, I do have a theory. Tell me.
Starting point is 00:51:07 And it's probably not accurate. But have you ever heard of the Fresno Nightcrawler? Jesus Christ, yes. What? That is not what I expect you to say. Well, so some people say they look like walking pants. Oh. And they're spotted in national parks.
Starting point is 00:51:22 And I'm like, maybe that's kind of the joke. But that seems like too far of a stretch But that makes your mind went there, but yeah, that's right. That doesn't seem too common that people's mind would go there Yeah, no, it probably is not it But it just kind of reminded me that because people described it as a pair of white pants and I'm like, oh like, you know I don't know feels like it could be kind of a crossover But I don't know that's really fucking they gave examples from multiple examples from Yelp from
Starting point is 00:51:53 Trip advisor of people doing this do they have no clue? Well, they they said it like they brought up a tooth out like if this these started like it looks like I Don't know. yeah around 2020 ish but someone oh no Tony so nothing that happened in 2020 they said there was a 2019 Twitter post by a comedian Sarah shower who tweeted dating advice don't drunk text your ex just leave a bad review for the Grand Canyon. So, and it has over, it says it has over 8,000 likes. So they're like, maybe that's what it was. I love this though, they're like doing like,
Starting point is 00:52:34 investigate like on social media, investigating to like, but something like not really upsetting and sad, more just like kind of a quirky thing. There's one that says that they lost their favorite pantaloonsons for example. Oh that is pretty sad. So yeah just a very weird, a phenomenon one might say. A strange phenomenon.
Starting point is 00:52:51 That Melissa stumbled upon and shared with me. Fascinating stuff from our friends reviewing the Grand Canyon. Yeah yeah if you know what that's about let us know. I don't like to feel like I don't know what's going on. I'm fine with it. I'd like to know what that's about, let us know. I don't like to feel like I don't know what's going on. Or don't, I'm fine with it. I'd like to know if it's a nightclub. I like knowing that there are mysteries out there yet to be solved, you know?
Starting point is 00:53:12 Give some for the future generations. You're right. Here is a review that Trista sent in. This is of Cabo Adventures hyphen luxury sailing adventure. Wow. And it's titled Bad Experiences on TripAdvisor, two-star review. My husband and I took the luxury sailing excursion on Tuesday June 7th at noon. This tour took us to the Arch and then to Santa Maria Cove
Starting point is 00:53:37 for snorkeling. The trip out to the Cove was lovely, great drinks, great food, and it was very relaxing. Once we got to the cove and started snorkeling, we experienced our first unpleasant part of the trip. The lead guide of the trip started throwing food out into the water to attract the fish. This was unnecessary because there were fish all around. He did it to such excess that he created feeding frenzies around us,
Starting point is 00:54:00 which was extremely upsetting. The fish were jumping into us, surrounding us, and at one point I was personally unable to escape the feeding frenzy and was bitten by a fish drawing blood. My husband who was next to me was also bitten on his chest causing bleeding that took several minutes to stop. This was completely unnecessary, unwanted, and very unpleasant. All the while, the lead guide sat there and laughed. What? As we left after lunch to start our journey back, it was very relaxing,
Starting point is 00:54:32 even though the wind had picked up quite a bit. We had lost so much blood that we were basically unconscious. Yeah, it's bad timing for that. But the driver navigated the waves really well, and we still felt relaxed. About 30 minutes into our trip back, the guide made the comment, But the driver navigated the waves really well and we still felt relaxed. About 30 minutes into our trip back, the guide made the comment, well, you wanted a sailing
Starting point is 00:54:50 experience? You're going to get one. And they proceeded to raise the main sails and instruct us on where to sit and then where to hold on. This is when the trip became one of our worst boating experiences, and we've been on a few. Like I said, the wind had really picked up, and when he cut the engines and allowed the sails to take over, the boat listed so badly that the people on the side of the boat opposite us started screaming.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Our side was way up in the air, and the other side was so close to the water that their feet were nearly touching the water. We had a hard time holding on as we were being pulled backwards but it was nothing compared to the others. After about 20 minutes of that it was our side's turn to experience nearly falling in the water. My husband and I were actually terrified because all we had to hold on to was one rope. We were so incredibly stressed because if we lost our grip at all we would have been tossed in the water it was listing that severely. Here is what I am most upset about.
Starting point is 00:55:48 There is absolutely nothing in the description of this tour to give someone any indication that we would have such a harrowing experience. I understand that your captains and guides do this all the time but we do not. We have absolutely zero sailing training and neither did many of the other guests on board. We were on the same boat for the sunset sail and it never felt unsafe. I feel that it was irresponsible of the captain guide to raise the sails and go without engines when the wind was that bad. And it was bad.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Several other guests were very unhappy and surprised that it went that way. And review. Oh, no, people die on these tourist trips. People die in the helicopters. People die on the boat rides. Like, I'm not saying that they're inherently like bad or anything, obviously, but like why are people messing around like that? I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:56:35 I don't know how they still gave two stars though. They were like, well, first part was pretty good, but no, I just feel like you're being targeted like first, the Fisher literally attacking you and then like they're they're putting chum Basically on you. Yeah, and I did read the about page though and like agree with the reviewer It literally talks about how relaxing it is Yeah, that's like they had a specific Vibe that day that they were feeling and they just kind of went with it and all the pictures do not include Any of that harrowing stuff and you there are plenty positive reviews, so it sounds like a rough experience
Starting point is 00:57:13 They got compared to others, but oh Yeah, that's a that one. I agree with no things I'm scared of the ocean, so I wouldn't go on it to begin with My next one is from Rachel she they who sent in a review of the turtle club in Naples which Don't get excited. Yeah Naples, Florida. Sorry. Yeah, not not not believe What is this Rio de june wait, what was oh What is this Rio de Janeiro? What did you call the mom I said Amelia you said Anyway, what it's something about turtle club. Yeah, is that you're saying it's not cool. It's I mean, it's like
Starting point is 00:58:02 The second I heard it's in Naples, Florida. I'm like, well, never mind It's probably a their story. It says our story and then says old Florida meets new but it's old spelled with an E. Oh God. Oh, it was founded in 1998. I was gonna say old Florida's like st. Augustine I mean, I'm not saying it's not old but like old with an E Anyway, yeah, it's just a Club where they have food. OK, great. I don't see a single turtle turtle soup like. Oh, shit. It's all turtle soup.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Oh, my God. Just a bunch of soups. When I'm looking at the pictures, it's a sin, but they don't tell you that one has a thin. Oh, my God. That has a shell. Can you imagine there's a piece of shell in your turtle suit? That's probably what they want, those freaks. That's so fucked up. Okay, here's a one-star review about the Turtle Club, now serving turtles.
Starting point is 00:58:54 I'm just kidding, I didn't look at their menu. Crunchy turtle suit. God, those poor turtles. Haven't they been through enough? Like, yeah, they have. Yeah. One star. Came to have dinner with my parents and their friends. We sat outside and the wind picked up because of a storm and blew our umbrella right into my father's face.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Not that they can help the weather, but after coming inside with him bleeding, they just asked us to move out of the way and didn't seem to care at all. The manager was an ass, won't be back, completely unprofessional and wanted to argue with me. End of review. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:59:31 Okay, I rarely say this, but this person seems reasonable enough to say, well, obviously the wind's not their fault, but like, hey, my dad's bleeding. I don't know. Yeah, it's weird. It is like- I wish I had a response, cause I feel like a response could have given us more clarity.'t know. Yeah, it's weird. It is like I wish I had a response because I feel like a response could have given us more clarity
Starting point is 00:59:47 I know I it definitely is one though that it feels like something's missing. I'm not saying something where this bleeding man deserved what was happening, but Yeah, it's always when they're like and they didn't even care and then I feel like 90 They're like like everyone they didn't even care. And then I feel like 90% of the time that there's a response, they're like, we called an ambulance for you. And like, no, we're not touched. Like, get away from us. Move out of the way. Like, that's crazy. Like, yeah, that seems so unlikely. I know people aren't good, but a lot.
Starting point is 01:00:19 But they're at least they at least pretend to be good when they work for a restaurant. It's their job. Yeah. Hospital when they say like oh they didn't even care and it's like I Got my 12 year old's ice pack from the freezer just you know what it means like Are you serious like we went above and beyond I did everything right and it's probably like we want a refund They're like no we're not gonna give you a. Not in this case, but just like we see. Stop bleeding out in our turtle soup. Yeah, like you've ruined the batch. There have been two bloody incidents now.
Starting point is 01:00:53 The fish one. True, so far. And now this one. So far. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. This one, this is my last one. This was sent in by Ellie. And this is a review of White Lee Visitor Center, and this is the
Starting point is 01:01:08 UK, and this is how it's advertised, the UK's largest onshore wind farm, okay? Oh, okay. Like with a bunch of wind turbines making energy and stuff, and there's like a visitor center and I think you can like learn about the turbines or something. I don't know. Anyway, I don't know what the fuck happens at the at the Whiteley visitor center in Eagles Ham. One way to find out.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Actually yeah, let's do a show there at the just at the Whiteley visitor center nowhere else in Europe. Oh my God. Alexander, but it's have you heard it's so windy there? I would hope so, but yeah I have heard that. Here's a review about it actually. One star titled took our dog for a walk. Why does anyone go here? It's on top of the moors, bleak and windy. I know that it needs wind to operate, I get that. But when we went to the cafe for lunch, we were told no dogs inside, but we could sit outside.
Starting point is 01:02:12 I've been outside, it's cold and windy. I just came from there. And the review. It's windy? Oh my God. That's so funny, it's like, yeah, you went to a wind farm. Like, I don't know, and do you expect like And do you expect like dog to a wind farm restaurant? Right. Like saying, why is it?
Starting point is 01:02:30 And they said, why? Because they don't bring their dog. I guess. Why would you go there? Why did you go there? Why did you go there? Exactly. Yeah. Oh, wait, they're only. Oh, no. OK. They're closed now, but they're open. And every day of the week, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. I'm kind of into this. I kind of want to see more though.
Starting point is 01:02:49 It does say they have 215 turbines generating up to the 539 megawatts of electricity. Enough to power just under 300,000 homes. It's a lot of homes. I don't care. I do care in the sense that I'm really happy about it I just don't care enough to go and look at the bring to you bring your dog there No, I have a lot of other things. I'd rather get kicked out of
Starting point is 01:03:13 Yeah, true than a random wind farm. They have daily bus tours in their brand new electric bus Where you can get up close? The turbines that's sick. That's sick. I think it's great. I want to do that. No, I can't. Some in Indiana go over there. You think I can just get up close to them? I'm not supposed to. Right there.
Starting point is 01:03:35 I think there are fences, probably. They have free parking, a solar charging canopy. And did you know Scottish Power Renewables owns Whiteley Wind Farm Visitor Center and it is managed by Glasgow Science Center. That's cool. It's just fine. I'm going to go without you and see the exhibition about their their newly refurbished exhibition. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:59 I'm going to I'm going to go to Dave and Buster. So bye. Have fun there. Okay. go to Dave and Buster's so bye. Okay have fun there. Okay speaking of Dave and Buster's we also provide live entertainment on tour. That's right. Does that make sense? It's just as live as all the arcade games at Dave and Buster's. We're a lot like the bowling one where you spin the ball. Oh I like that one. Because that's my favorite yeah. I like to think of Skeeball where you kind of never know what you're doing but sometimes you're like, wow, I got it in the really difficult one
Starting point is 01:04:27 But sometimes even when it misses it's like I still got a few points. Yeah, okay I think really miss you just got a do-over. No, it's nice to me. Yeah, that's how our shows are pretty much Except we hit it into the hundred point every time is the only difference Yeah, isn't there one that's bigger than that? No, okay. Yeah, I thought that was okay. Okay. I'll take your word for it But like the smallest okay. Yeah, I think you would anyway you're looking up what a Ski ball machine looks like right now. I was right go away. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay I was thinking we're kind of like the bowling ball thing because it's our favorite.
Starting point is 01:05:07 And it's also like overpriced, but worth it. Skee ball is my favorite. You know. What's a ball? I know the bowling one's not my favorite. Didn't say it was. You don't hear what I just said. It's I said it's because it's my favorite. Oh, don't make it about you. OK. I'm going to start that over. I'm going to start that over. I was saying we're like the bowling one because it's my favorite and because it's overpriced but somehow still worth it.
