Speaker 1:
the show. We're going to go over a few things that we didn't talk about on the show and then maybe circle back to some of the things we did get to, but not as deeply in depth as we might have wanted to.
Speaker 2:
But the first one was and we might get to this tomorrow. So Reese witherspoon created this simple recipe using new fallen snow, and people went bonkers. Why were they so upset with her for this? I guess because they said it's unhealthy. Maybe it's a little bit of a problem, I don't know.
Speaker 1:
I don't get it. She scooped up two cupfuls of just too big Of snow and it wasn't snow on the sidewalk, it was like there was a lot of snow there, right on her car it was like.
Speaker 2:
It looked like a foot and a half or so. There was so much snow there.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, so I don't think it could have been contaminated by anything. People were saying it was unsanitary People have been eating snow for like thousands of years, and that's what she said.
Speaker 2:
She said I've always been eating snow. I've always been eating snow. I've always been eating snow. I've always been eating snow.
Speaker 1:
I've always been eating snow. I've always been eating snow. I've always been eating snow.
Speaker 2:
I've always been eating snow. And she said I've always been eating snow as a kid and it doesn't come around that often she said so.
Speaker 1:
She wanted to take advantage of it and have some fun with it. I think it's okay. I don't know.
Speaker 2:
So we're, we're here in Florida and you're from Georgia, so you don't. You don't have, we don't have tons of experience with snow, so is this a bad idea to eat snow? It seems to me to be the same as drinking rain water. Should you never drink rain water? I think you can drink rain water.
Speaker 1:
Why can't you eat snow? Why are people mad at?
Speaker 2:
Reese, she's the sweetest. I think that people just. I think people just mad all the time.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and they like to get on and have that, that platform to just be angry and tell people what they're doing wrong.
Speaker 2:
It's not like she was force feeding little children the snow. She was eating it herself.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, exactly, and but it looked really good, I'm not even a what is it called a cold brew cold brew.
Speaker 2:
But what she did is she took the snow and then she added salted caramel syrup and she added chocolate syrup, and then she just added enough cold brew to give it a coffee flavor.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and it's almost like a, like a. What do you call the, the icies or the slushy snow cone? Yeah, I'm all about it? Snowball Reese if you bring me a snow cone made out of snow in your own yard. I'm all about it To me that snow is probably pristine. I would pull a leaf out of it and still eat it, eat it with the leaf.
Speaker 2:
Why not? Why not? Another thing we talked about is a new trend Mob boss wife as a fashion statement. Clean girl was the fashion last year, that's like a natural look.
Speaker 1:
Okay, that's what that was. Yeah, I didn't even know that was a thing.
Speaker 2:
Hair pulled all back. Barely any makeup Clean girl. Okay, now it's mob boss wife. So mob boss, mob boss wife is picture Eddie Falco from the Sopranos or Lorraine Bracco from good fellas and the curlers in the hair coming out, and then the lipstick and the fur and the leopard print or the zebra print and the leggings.
Speaker 1:
Are we going to be seeing this like on the runways or like in real life?
Speaker 2:
I'm seeing it all over. Instagram oh probably on Pinterest and who knows?
Speaker 1:
where, like if I go to the movie theater Thursday night, is this something I'm going to be seeing?
Speaker 2:
Possibly. Oh my gosh, it's a look.
Speaker 1:
It is Boss wife. It is a look, I guess.
Speaker 2:
The story we had today for Am I the Jama was about Madonna being sued by some fans Don't appreciate the fact that she starts her show whenever the heck she feels like it, normally about two hours after the advertised time, which you say is par for the course. And if you buy a ticket, you know what you're getting into.
Speaker 1:
Yes.
Speaker 2:
Now everybody knows this about Madonna and her shows.
Speaker 1:
It was definitely par for the course for the Mademax tour in 2019 and early 2020. That tour she didn't have a huge promoter behind her, it was her show, her tour. She's playing small venues. I saw it, the film war down in Miami. You know, small room compared to like maybe even smaller than the Florida theater here in Jacksonville, to give you an idea of how small it was. And she was notoriously two hours late for every single show. So you know, going in like she's going to be late and people tried to sue them but there's all this loophole in tickets and so there was no lawsuit there. So now she hasn't been as late as often on this tour until recently and I guess that's why now people are upset with her to me it's not a matter of something you would sue for.
Speaker 2:
I would imagine there would be something in the fine print, so I wouldn't be mad about that I would be annoyed, I think. If you know you're not going on stage until after 10, why are you advertising that the show starts at 831? You let me go enjoy dinner with my family or my friends, have some cocktails out where I can still have my phone, because they take your phone when you go into these shows. I don't think on this tour.
Speaker 1:
They are. Okay, that's that small theater tour.
Speaker 2:
Okay, yeah, but still I would say if you know you're not planning to take the stage until 10, why are you telling me to get there at 8? I don't want to do that. I want to come when you come.
Speaker 1:
I totally get that, 100%. I totally get it. But I gotta say when we went to see her at the Fillmore, like they took our phones well, actually they didn't take them, they put them in this bag and kind of lock them up.
Speaker 1:
They're special bags yeah you hold onto your phone. But then the two hours that she wasn't on stage, we were conversating, which I haven't really done like that with a stranger in decades, and we were all getting to know each other and having fun. For me it was a fun two hours of just hanging out and chatting with people. I enjoyed it. I knew it was coming and so I just embraced it.
Speaker 2:
OK, Well, I think that if I knew it was coming I would have a different mentality, obviously, and I think if I knew it was coming I wouldn't show up until late. And then if she showed up early on the one night that I decided to go, I'd sue her. I'd sue her ass.
Speaker 1:
I'm going to see her again in Miami in April, the first weekend of April, so I'll let you know. Yeah, it's curious.
Speaker 2:
I think she'll probably be even later.
Speaker 1:
But I can hear it.
Speaker 2:
I think what she's going to do now is be like I'm just going to be 15 minutes even later than I was.
Speaker 1:
Now that I know that she's been late on a couple of shows on this tour, I'll still be in my seat on time, ready to go. And if I have to talk to some neighbors for a couple hours and get to make some new friends, I'll do that. I'm all about it, because a concert for me is an experience, not just the concert but getting to know people and sharing that experience.
Speaker 2:
Do you ever get an opportunity at these shows to be the the news to someone? Like someone says look at the time and you could say, oh, did you not know it's going to be another hour, even listen.
Speaker 1:
Madonna has been around for 40 years. There's no one that buys a Madonna ticket that doesn't know. I mean no one. Like you know, like Mike, like my grandmother's not going to be, like they all go see Madonna tonight. Oh my gosh, she's too late. If you're buying a Madonna ticket, you know what you're getting into.
Speaker 2:
When I saw Madonna in concert it was. She was on time. She was also kind of new, so it was the 80s.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, if you haven't seen it, if you haven't seen it like in the last 10 years and yeah, but again, I think if someone's buying a ticket, they know exactly what's happening.
Speaker 2:
I remember getting my pictures back that I took at the concert and I was so excited and she was like a little tiny, tiny dot because we had tickets. Our seats are so far away and back and you had like the instamatic yeah yeah, and even though I thought maybe it would zoom in a little, I don't know, I thought I could blow him up or something but she was just this little tiny dot in a bride's dress.
Speaker 1:
That's kind of where we're sitting for this show. We'll be way back there, but you know what?
Speaker 2:
They'll have to jump out.
Speaker 1:
I've yeah, exactly, I was learned concerts are my passion, so I'll just go and just absorb what's given to me concerts are your passion.
Speaker 2:
Another thing that is your passion is your Honda element, which is the vehicle you drive. They don't they don't make these anymore, and you've now leaned into your love for this vehicle.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, so I bought a Honda element in 2003 when they first came out. I was one of the first people in Jackson would get one. Only because of our work with radio, I knew the GM of a Honda dealership and I got on a list. So I kept that 03 until 2017 and then I bought an 04 in 2017, which is what I drive today.
Speaker 1:
So, this thing is 20 years old and I recently found this, this mechanic that I called the Honda whisperer because he can literally just listen to the engine until what's wrong with it. And so he has this Honda meetup group that I got to go hang out with for the first time this past Sunday and there were 17 Hondas there, including a couple from the guy that put on the meetup and all that. So it was just fun to and I didn't realize there were that many people that were that passionate about the element. But there's all these accessories you could buy and a lot of them have done that and they've altered the insides. One guy's taking the back seats out and put a bed in because he travels and sleeps in his element. There's so much passion about these vehicles and there probably is with every kind of vehicle.
Speaker 2:
Who had the most miles. Was there anybody there that specifically had like the most miles?
Speaker 1:
So the guy that I call the whisperer has a right at 500,000 miles on his. And the reason I met him? Because I was thinking about sell-on-mine. I had something going on with my engine and he said let me take a look at it. I have 240 on mine. And he looked it over and he goes don't sell this element, I can get you to 500,000.
Speaker 2:
And I was like what.
Speaker 1:
So yeah, there were several in the twos. I don't think there was any that I met yesterday in the threes, but we've got some miles on them.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, that's kind of fun.
Speaker 1:
And there's this thing coming up I think it's in North Carolina called the Dragon's Tale. Have you heard of it? No, it's a ride through the mountains that different car groups pick a weekend and they go and they do this Dragon's Tale. And it happened last year. I learned about it last year but I didn't get to go. I'm thinking about going this year. It's about 200 elements that I'll meet at this campsite and then on Saturday they go in groups of 10 and drive the Dragon's Tale and it just oh fun, it's a really great time and you meet like 200 other element owners and you're just all hanging out in this big field. It's just like a campground and there's cabins you can get and a little creek running through it. It just sounds like a really, really good time.
Speaker 2:
It's fun to lean more into something than you ever. It's not a new thing for you to love your element.
Speaker 1:
No, not at all.
Speaker 2:
But it is a new thing for you to look at it as a way to be in a community.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it was really fun to meet other people, all ages, I mean such a varied group of people, but we all just love the element and it was really a lot of fun.
Speaker 2:
We don't usually do this, but you've got your phone in front of you, right?
Speaker 1:
Yes.
Speaker 2:
I see it there. Can you look something up? Or you might already know everything about this. The Dragon Tale is what reminded me something I just heard this weekend. Do you know about this Jekyll Island thing with the globes?
Speaker 1:
No.
Speaker 2:
Do you know this? So a friend of mine, this is just. It's a completely different subject but kind of the same because it's you talked about the Dragon's Tale and going in and doing this. I guess in Jekyll Island you go and you can search Jekyll Island, georgia, you can go and search for these globes and what you'll find is a plastic globe. But if you find it, you turn it in and they give you one that's crystal.
Speaker 1:
You know what I think? I saw something on this on CBS Sunday morning about two or three years ago.
Speaker 2:
Really.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, now that I'm looking at this, the picture of it.
Speaker 2:
What is it called? Is it called? Any specific thing or like hunt for the globes in Jekyll or Jekyll globe hunt or search for I.
Speaker 1:
Don't think it has a name.
Speaker 2:
Okay, has to somebody told me they went for the weekend.
Speaker 1:
I'm treasures is all it says oh, that makes sense. And it says the event happens January 1st through February 29th every year. Jekyll Island Commission is a group of Beach buddies, oh yeah and they stay where they hidden, just all over the island.
Speaker 2:
I guess so and you just go to the island and you just look and so you trade in the plastic ones for a crystal a crystal. Or glass. Maybe it's glass interesting.
Speaker 1:
Do you have to pay to be a part of this? I don't think so.
Speaker 2:
I think it's just to bring people there and that's pretty cool. My friend of mine said she went for the weekend and they looked all weekend.
Speaker 1:
They didn't find one, but they had a great time looking when I was a kid, my dad worked at a hotel for one summer in Jekyll Island, so me and my sister went to live with him, and so we played in the pool and on the beach every day for an entire summer. We had so much fun.
Speaker 2:
There's a lot to do there. Yeah, there is so anyway, there's a beach and a pool. Yeah, but back then there wasn't as much to do probably bike trails.
Speaker 2:
Yeah and a lot of all that fun stuff. A lot of fun stuff like that. All right, so that kind of is our wrap up for a Monday. I think we cover it a lot. Yeah, we didn't get to the electronic device that you put on your nose to make your allergies go away, but that's still in the Kickstarter program. So if you want to electrocute your, note nasal insides, that's called the nasal calm nasal that and thank you everybody for tuning into the Eden and Amadeus podcast.
Speaker 2:
This is just a little kind of I guess Offshoot for today, really, since we didn't have an interview or anything like that. It's just kind of an offshoot of what we went over today on the radio and, of course, we always have our battle of the sexes recap on Friday and we hope, if you're in Jacksonville, you'll look us up at 99.9.gatocom.
