Three Guys Around a Table and The Best Of…
Three Guys, Two Steaks, and One Soggy Dollar Bar
What happens when you put a lawyer, an engineer, and a school superintendent around a microphone? You get an authentic glimpse into a friendship forged through chance encounters, shared adventures, and genuine camaraderie.
Ever wondered how your favorite podcast hosts became friends? This episode finally reveals the origin story behind these three distinct personalities. Their friendship began unexpectedly through their children—dance recitals, school activities, and eventually shared interests in golf carts and spontaneous food-focused road trips. From that first awkward introduction in a driveway to traveling together across multiple continents, listeners witness how ordinary connections evolve into extraordinary friendships.
The conversation shifts to recent travels, taking you from the star-studded streets of Los Angeles to the pristine beaches of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. Experience Hollywood through fresh eyes as Greg recounts his first California adventure, complete with celebrity home tours, the iconic Hollywood sign (saved by Hugh Hefner, as trivia reveals), and the quintessential In-N-Out Burger experience. Then escape to the Caribbean as Chris paints a vivid picture of crystal-clear waters and the famous Soggy Dollar Bar—birthplace of the legendary Painkiller cocktail—where yachts anchor offshore and visitors swim to the beach with soggy currency in hand.
An impromptu international candy tasting provides hilarious moments as the hosts sample British confections with brutally honest reactions, proving that friendship sometimes means telling someone their favorite candy tastes like "dirt." Between references to mysterious past adventures (the repeatedly mentioned but never explained "Lima story"), Kentucky's famous exports, and their surprisingly global listenership spanning 27 countries, this episode perfectly captures why these three different personalities connect so well with each other—and with audiences worldwide. Listen in and feel like you're simply hanging out with old friends sharing stories, laughs, and maybe a Painkiller or two.
three guys around a table and by three guys.
Speaker 3:We're talking about three friends a lawyer, an engineer and a school superintendent and just like our personalities, our opinions vary and we certainly don't always agree. Whether we're discussing the best of or giving our tips and tricks of things in everyday life, you're sure to learn something if you stick around, do our opinions vary all that much?
Speaker 2:yes I think so most on some things on some things.
Speaker 1:They don't vary at all yeah, but yeah, on some things they're they're dramatically vastly different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree, mainly things we don't talk about on the podcast, correct?
Speaker 1:there's a reason why, yeah, yeah well, look uh you should hear when the mics are off though.
Speaker 2:Well it's, it's been a minute since we've done one of these.
Speaker 3:Oh, I wonder why.
Speaker 2:Yeah, hmm, some of us have been traveling a little, and some of us have been working a lot.
Speaker 1:Well this is in the working a lot category. You're correct, so in other words is this the?
Speaker 2:is this the uh?
Speaker 3:tables are turned.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh Is this? The Tables are turned. Oh how the turntables. The alternate universe it's.
Speaker 2:Bizarro Seinfeld. Yeah, I think it is. So today we're just going to do a little Poo-pourri, poo-pourri.
Speaker 1:I don't like po-pourri. You know what po-pourri? I can't smell it anyway, so it doesn't matter. Thank you, COVID. Well, I can't smell it anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2:Thank you, COVID. Well, so the first question that we have to address is yes, the house is hot tonight.
Speaker 3:I have no idea what's going on.
Speaker 1:There is no blanket on me tonight, for the first time since we've ever podcasted.
Speaker 2:I want it known. It is a thousand degrees in this house, the temperature is exactly the same as it always is.
Speaker 3:That's 100% fake news. Look, the snowman has finally melted in the corner.
Speaker 2:This is ridiculous it is 69 degrees in here. I actually have socks on.
Speaker 1:It's hot in here, it's not even cool and the blanket is not needed.
Speaker 3:It's here but not needed. I thought the reason you had socks on is because you haven't had your nails done lately.
Speaker 2:No, I had them taken care of Did you have the fish, eat them.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Oh them taking care of. Did you have the fish eat them? Uh yes, oh boy, no, I wouldn't do that. By the way, uh, pedicure pro, or or never had one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, never had. I don't like people touching, I don't want. I've never had a pedicure. I've had maybe one or two manicures. Manicure was fine, uh, but never had a pedicure, don't think you're gotta put your feet in that liquid.
Speaker 3:That they know, that's a hard pass. No, that ain't liquid. Everybody else's foot fungus, yeah, well, that's the problem. Yeah, that that is not happening.
Speaker 2:I used to work with a teacher who ended up having to get two toes amputated because she got a uh, a really bad fungal infection from a nasty pedicure did she sue?
Speaker 3:oh yeah, let's go in um, I, I, never I.
Speaker 2:I I heard it was the word settle, so like that yeah, settling this, you get all her nail did so, uh, you had a question that, uh, you, you, yeah, so one of the listeners reached out yeah, one of our uh loyal 12 listeners from amsterdam or wherever I mean, yes, well, look we're. We're big right now in senegal.
Speaker 1:I want I want to be shout out to all of our senegalians, the great thing we're worldwide.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you realize that or not. Can I call? Call myself, mr. Worldwide, 27 different countries have downloaded this podcast over the last three months.
Speaker 1:Let's go, Mr 502.
Speaker 2:So Ukraine.
Speaker 3:Oh, careful yeah.
Speaker 2:I know they obviously need a respite from that is what it is.
Speaker 3:So anyway, Go ahead. One of our loyal subject listeners reached out to me.
Speaker 1:That's right out. Our listers are subjects, we uh, there's some certain of us in the room.
Speaker 3:That's correct wanted to know if we would explain or tell, no, how we all met and got to be friends. No, and I said first of all, you're confusing the word friends with acquaintances.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but anyhow. And you jokingly said that it was in the rehab facility.
Speaker 3:right, I didn't know, I just kind of threw it out there saying we'll talk about it, but it always ends up with somebody going to jail so that's the issue.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, is that a problem.
Speaker 3:This listener also want to know about Lima and I said we have told it. And we also want to know about lima and I said we have told it and we've told the lima story, yeah, so we're backing up.
Speaker 2:So where do we meet? How do we become friends? I met uh, this is mark, by the way I met greg and this is chris, that's true because, uh, we both had kids that went to the same middle school, and one day I saw him in his golf cart up at Bondurant Yep, and I either drove over or walked over, I can't remember which one. I was like hey, how you doing there, fella, yeah, and I was like, who's this creepy old man?
Speaker 1:I was going to say Wow, I felt like an old man was hitting on me.
Speaker 3:Greg's going. Stranger danger, stranger danger, Stay away from me.
Speaker 1:I pulled Hallie behind me. Danger danger, Stay away from it. I pulled Hallie behind me. It was weird.
Speaker 2:I was definitely looking for some grooming potential.
Speaker 1:No question.
Speaker 2:But no, I went over and introduced myself and we got to talking and had some commonalities and then I learned I'm just telling you from my perspective Greg told me about this friend of his that he had who he needed to introduce me to Absolutely. And then do you remember that when you first introduced him, yep, I do remember that yep, yeah, is there a joke?
Speaker 1:I'm missing here um, you're always the joke true, so I remember.
Speaker 3:So greg and I knew each other before you guys knew each other correct, oh yeah so and that's because Greg and I my son and Greg's boys got to be big buddies, yep and running around together and then ended up on baseball teams and you were coaching and all that.
Speaker 1:And our daughters danced at Champions. Oh, that's right. That's how we first met. That's right. Taylor was Hallie's big sister at Champions. That's right. Oh my God, I forgot about that.
Speaker 3:That. That's right. Oh, my God, I forgot about that. That's right, Because I first met you in Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge when I made Hallie the flower out of the umbrella.
Speaker 1:It was Myrtle Beach.
Speaker 3:It was the Dirty Myrtle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was Dirty Myrtle and you made out of the umbrella bags. The umbrella bags he made a big balloon thing and stuff for Hallie out ofie Because.
Speaker 3:Hallie was Taylor's little.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 3:And then we saw you guys walking around that dirty myrtle place. Right, we were eating dinner, uh-huh, and then we got to be buddies after that.
Speaker 1:Then our boys got to run around together all the time, right.
Speaker 3:Yep, and then.
Speaker 1:And they're still big buddies.
Speaker 3:Oh, in these wings.
Speaker 1:Yes, absolutely, and whatever else we don't want to know about, right.
Speaker 3:And then I remember you introducing me to Mark. It was in his driveway and I came over because my mother kept saying cope.
Speaker 1:Cope lives across the street.
Speaker 3:And we just got to talking then and I think we worked on a particular golf cart.
Speaker 2:We've had some golf carts Like day or two.
Speaker 3:No, this was an unlimited model.
Speaker 2:I believe, as I recall that particular meeting, you raided my drink fridge in the garage. Pretty good.
Speaker 1:And some things continue to this day 100%.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's true, that's the cost of admission. Look, I'm sitting here right now drinking a Werner's Zero Sugar Ginger Ale. That came from Detroit, no.
Speaker 1:Cups Ridge, of course.
Speaker 2:You went to the original.
Speaker 1:And what do I do? I'm a bring my own kind of guy, you bring your own.
Speaker 3:But anyhow, we got to be friends because of that and then we started hanging out with the golf carts, really started to be.
Speaker 1:You know, greg, and I have unlimited.
Speaker 3:Right, we have unlimited versions and Mark just has the regular.
Speaker 1:Well, he's a standard golf cart kind of guy. True, I kind of go true, and then I tried to make up for it with all my stickers I put on my mouth and then we just kind of went from there and then, uh, that's led us to road trip.
Speaker 3:Let's go to gatlinburg for an ogle dog for lunch what's wrong with that?
Speaker 1:that was a great public.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was, that was fantastic and then let's go get german sausages of schmitz. Yeah, I'm still doing. Seeing what the issue is oh I know, it seems like we have a lot of things around food we have, we have fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, that's how we came to be, and it was just all coincidence at one point there was talk of a business of going into business to fix up golf carts and uh yes my part of that business would have been to stand off to the side and watch the work.
Speaker 1:No, because bring the drinks, bring the drinks. Here's the problem. When all this started.
Speaker 3:When we were doing all that, though, we were only good for a couple of hours. But there was another business venture at one time that we, we you tried, yeah, I did, and I have told other people that and they're like they're like oh my god, that would be everyone I tell this to.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I should say I don't think you would someone's gonna steal it. It's a million dollar idea. Yeah, let's just say it. It does involve a food product.
Speaker 3:Yes, you know it's like that. That cartoon I saw goes I I think I know it, but I don't think I should say it I'm just not skilled enough to put it together to make it.
Speaker 1:I'm skilled enough in one aspect of it.
Speaker 2:We already decided.
Speaker 1:I'm not skilled enough in the second aspect of it.
Speaker 3:There's different elements of food that have to come together to make a product, but we already decided Remember we already discussed you would do one part of it, I can do the other, and'm I'm the guy, I'm the barker, yeah, the marketing guy yes, I can do the first part, it's just a matter of honing in that skill and when you tried it that one time pretty good, yeah, it was tasty, but you know it's just so anyway.
Speaker 3:That's, that's on the side burner now, and that's like a carnival food, yeah place, and you know what, though, it was? So many food nowadays it would go over so big.
Speaker 1:We should go to the Franklin County Fair and blow it up, yep.
Speaker 3:Whoa, wait a minute, not like blow it up, whoa I mean like blow up that idea. Yep, I agree. I agree, that was the attorney.
Speaker 2:So anyway Awkward. Well, if anyone's going say it.
Speaker 1:I'd rather our attorney say it. That's true, you know?
Speaker 2:yeah, that's true, that's true. So, uh, potpourri, we've, we have been doing some traveling recently and uh greg, you just have come back, not you. I was gonna say I went to winchester. Yeah, you've come on, chris, you, that's all you do everybody knows you travel, that's not an issue. I was in winchester today winchester and greg, you've been in a place where you've never been before. I'd have.
Speaker 1:Uh, I want to hear I just got back uh, I'd never been to los angeles before, never been in california before, yeah, uh, and took my 17 year old daughter and decided that's a good place to drop her off and left her yeah, so she is out there in a program called the Summer University Theater Experience and it's a select group of kids from all around the country.
Speaker 1:Yep, that is their meeting with about 12 different schools and professors in musical theater from 12 different schools Awesome schools and professors in musical theater from 12 different schools to get critiques on resumes and headshots and and singing and monologues and things like that. She's been there for um well, we flew in on thursday morning and got back sunday, today's monday, uh, so I was a little tired this morning. I didn't think that would be a big deal, but it's oh yeah, coming back's a little bit of a big deal.
Speaker 1:It gets you yeah, always going that way, yeah and uh, but she's having a great time awesome, uh meeting some influential, absolutely she said she made three people cry singing one of her songs today, so that was always good I always make people cry when I say that always she makes them cry for a different reason.
Speaker 1:But, she's having a great time. Interestingly, she has a product that it's kind of like a steamer or something for her throat and it quit working. And did you know? Just in case you didn't know, you can order one at 5 o'clock tonight on Amazon and it'll be delivered between 5 and 10 o'clock there today.
Speaker 3:Once you get the wrinkles out of her throat. Wow, yes, it straightens it out it's a steamer.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's pretty crazy, but LA got to see for a couple days. Yep, what was your favorite?
Speaker 2:thing you saw Um probably my favorite thing.
Speaker 1:We did it. We did a touristy tour bus that's so much fun though uh, that was probably my favorite thing we went, it took it it took us up real close to the hollywood sign yep, uh, which was something. That's what it was at the start hollywood land. And do you know who helped, who raised the money to put in the new one that's there now? That was put in in the late 60s, early 70s. I'm gonna say h Hugh Hefner. It was Hugh Hefner. He had a fundraiser, raised a quarter million dollars.
Speaker 1:That's what it cost to do it.
Speaker 2:I wonder how he made that money, didn't they each, like certain people, bought a letter, I don't know?
Speaker 1:I know he organized. Well, according to our tour guide, he organized the fundraiser for it.
Speaker 2:I heard the same thing, so that's interesting.
Speaker 1:But do you know, big tour buses can't go up to it because the roads are so small and it's in a neighborhood and things like that. Right, that was you know, but we got to go see some things like something you guys would appreciate Jim Morrison's old house and he wrote a song called Love Street. Oh yeah, yeah, we got to see that street. Cool, it's not called love, it's called something else, but it means love in a different language so mojo rising um.
Speaker 1:And then there was something about some um cafe there that was in a different song and we saw the cafe and things like that so it was a neat. I mean pure touristy, but it was, did you?
Speaker 3:see the morrison hotel. No well, so I saw the beverly hills hotel and. Beverly Hills.

We did stop at a place called graystone estate, which is owned by the city, which is big lebowski's house. Awesome and uh, it's. It's been in a bunch of movies so they had like the clips on an ipad so you could watch the clip. So it's been like in a jackie movie.
Speaker 2:Was Bunny sitting by the pool. I've got to go find an ATM machine Blow.
Speaker 1:But so that was pretty neat. I think I texted you guys the instant we got past that part. You know hit some high points like drove by the Playboy Mansion. Aaron Spelling's house you know that it just sold for $120 million or something like that. Pete Eddy's house, where the FBI raided it, and Michael Jackson's house that he was renting, where he died at those kind of things it was neat.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3:I always enjoy it. I've done two of those and they're fantastic, Peter.
Speaker 2:Falk's house. That was my thing, Quincy.
Speaker 3:Jones is one of my favorites a swimming pool you drove by and, on street level, had big. The swimming pool was so deep that the street level had big windows around the pool and you actually looked into the pool. Wow, wow, it was pretty cool. So here.
Speaker 2:Fun fact, All right, the the song by the doors written by Jim Morrison, LA woman. What is it about A woman in LA, Jim Morrison?
Speaker 1:LA woman. What is it about A woman in LA? Nope, I have no idea. I don't know that I've ever heard the song.
Speaker 3:It's about the city of LA, that's what he's talking about.
Speaker 2:It is his love letter to the city of LA.
Speaker 3:I don't even know that. I've heard it. La woman.
Speaker 2:It's a great. It's a fantastic song.
Speaker 3:Well, that's cool. What about La?
Speaker 2:Brea Tar Pits. It's interesting, isn't that wild? Yeah, it's crazy. You're like in the middle of Beverly Hills.
Speaker 1:And there's tar, yeah, and it's just bubbling out there too. Yeah, it's weird and they were doing excavating while we were there Pulling bones out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, still.
Speaker 1:We didn't go in the museum or anything, we just walked around the outside, but it was interesting.
Speaker 2:That's wild.
Speaker 1:Janie said it smells bad. Oh yeah, tell them where you ate.
Speaker 2:Um which time, when you got a burger, we ate it in and out burger.
Speaker 1:Yeah, baby, what'd you think I thought it was great? Yep, uh, jane, uh, janie, just thought she, she thought it was good. She thinks shake shakes better carries of the same milk.
Speaker 2:I'm, I'm, I love you know. Give me a double, double animal style you know, uh, hallie got her fries animal style.
Speaker 1:I love it, but oh, it was great. I mean, that was where we ate dinner at the first night out there. That's great. And then we ate at a place that says we're known for our steaks and seafood.
Speaker 3:I saw that steak.
Speaker 1:Look, the first one was giving them a fair grade, and people who listen know I'm a medium rare kind of guy. Yeah, giving them a fair grade. It was medium well. Yeah, it was close to well done. I kind of saw some pink still left in the middle, but it was. You had to look for it. Yeah, waitress says yeah, that's not medium well or medium rare. Yeah, so, and you all know me, I'm not a send food back kind of guy, right, I just showed it to her. I showed it to her. She goes do you want me to get another one? I said no, I'm good. So, and then Hallie was like yeah, get him a different one. So, like four minutes later, the second one's out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I'm like there's no way this cooked, yeah, and it was?
Speaker 3:it was blue. Yeah, it was purple, judging by the look of the picture you sent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they had just slaughtered that cow. Yeah, I mean, it was blue here's. Here's the mistake you made, if I can provide some correction I don't send food back. You did not go to this place that sells more steaks t-bone steaks than anywhere else in the country. That's right, fun fact, fun fact who is that?
Speaker 3:I have no idea.
Speaker 1:The waffle house it would have been better at waffle house. The good thing was is is I will tell you, if I owned the restaurant, yes, I would have comped the entire meal for my table. When they mess up two steaks 100, and they didn't they, they only took my portion off the bill, wow uh so it was probably a a jillion dollars, right?
Speaker 2:uh, it wasn't.
Speaker 1:It wasn't extraordinary expensive no, I mean it was, it was 55, 60 bucks okay, that's not for out there. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't bad, uh, but but when you do two and the waitress come back over and she just said that's blue and I said, yeah, I understand, and then she goes, she goes, it must be an off night and I said I wouldn't be pushing the stakes seriously, if you, if you had that experience at jeff ruby's, what would jeff ruby's do?
Speaker 1:uh, comp the entire meal and and considered like giving me money for the next time.
Speaker 2:I mean that's customer service and begging for forgiveness, Right.
Speaker 1:And it was not the best. So how was your trip? First of all, I get to go back to LA in two weeks. Yes, Because, unfortunately, my daughter no, I'm just joking. Unfortunately we got to pick her up.
Speaker 2:So when you go back, any chance of hitting Spago in Beverly Hills?
Speaker 1:There's a chance, because Janie and I have a day and a half there before we get.
Speaker 2:Hallie, you should look at making a reservation now and try to get to Spago. It is completely worth the experience. Now Wolfgang Puck's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills I think it's called chop Okay. So if you, if you want just like an amazing steak, do that. But if you want the full celebrity experience, you got to go to Spago one time in your life.
Speaker 1:Um, now I will tell you the best meal Janie and I had and I can get a reservation for the day we get there Fantastic, awesome, the, the, the best meal we had out there. We pulled out a restaurant off of um, one of the review places, a Mexican restaurant, and it was fantastic, awesome. You need to go to Wahlburgers.
Speaker 3:Uh, I did not make it to Wahlburgers, but that is on the list when we go back, when you were at Chan's yeah Man's Chinese Theater. No, I saw it, yeah.
Speaker 1:But we just didn't have the opportunity to have it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, All right, what about you? So we went to the island of Yost Van Dyke, which is-. Is that Dick's? Brother, yeah, it is a small Caribbean island in the British Virgin Islands.
Speaker 1:How dressed up do I got to be to?
Speaker 2:go to Spago.
Speaker 1:Not bad.
Speaker 2:Seriously, If you wear just it says it's fine dining. Look it's LA. I don't know what that means. Means you know khaki's in a button-up shirt all right, that can do that. Yeah, I love la. Yeah, um, jose van dyke is a small island. Off of the island it's kind of. You can see saint john from jose van dyke, you can see saint thomas and you can obviously see tortola. We flew into beef island, which is a little island sounds like an island.
Speaker 2:I would like yeah off of tortola short short runway, so that's one of those where they and this is an american airlines, that's a direct flight from miami, okay, and when they the crew comes on, you know the captain comes on and he's like, um, getting ready to land. It's a short runway, so we're going to be slamming on the brakes as soon as we touch down. So just hang on, everybody, and that's always fun yeah, that's good and so.
Speaker 2:So you land, the slam on the brakes and you know, but it was, it was perfect, it was a direct flight. In took a cab across the island of tortola and uh saw some really cool things, saw that, you know, like the guy who owns apple, his, uh, yeah, he had a private island there, a couple other people, um, and then we took a ferry over to yos van dyke and we stayed at uh, at a, at a villa on the beach, for a week and it was unbelievable. So yos van dyke, famous for the soggy dollar bar, the bar where the painkiller was invented uh, anyone knows the painkiller drink.
Speaker 2:It's that is that like oxycodone or something it is it is one to two ounces of dark pussers rum, uh, one ounce of orange juice, four ounces of pineapple juice, one ounce of of coconut and freshly grated nutmeg on top. You like the nutmeg?
Speaker 1:Boom, you got to have the nutmeg. You like the nutmeg?

Yeah, winchester in the uk, uh, winchester, tenfieldville oh, but no, we just, we literally laid on the beach for a week and it was great.
Speaker 1:That's awesome how was it? How warm was it?

Speaker 3:Is there? I can't tell Tar. All right, so we're shooting down the Yorkie bar.
Speaker 2:Not a huge fan. I wouldn't get the Yorkie bar again, well, this one's called.
Speaker 1:Do you have any sorbet to cleanse this candy bar?
Speaker 3:We're doing food testing.
Speaker 1:Can I have some?
Speaker 3:sorbet. This one's called Catch, can you?
Speaker 1:have your butler bring some sorbet. Oh hush Please.
Speaker 3:This one's called Catch and it looks like a white twix.
Speaker 2:I did buy some passion fruit and guava hard candy while I was down there. I knew guava would be involved, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Love, love, passion fruit. What is?
Speaker 3:this it's called a catch bar.
Speaker 1:Cat Like catch.
Speaker 3:Interesting. It's got an interesting look to it. Looks like a white Twix, and by white I mean like old. It's very different.
Speaker 2:There's got to be caramel in this oh there is. I can barely pull a piece off. Mm-hmm, all right. When was this one made? 2018?
Speaker 1:The texture's like a thousand grand bar Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:Like a stale thousand.
Speaker 2:It's got something fruity in it, though.
Speaker 3:I'm getting like something fruity Weird right. I don't know what the heck this is, I can't taste it, but the texture is amazing.
Speaker 1:The texture reminds me of a thousand grain bar. It's got like those little rice things in it.
Speaker 3:To me it comes across like a very stale Twix.
Speaker 2:Do you remember that gum that used to have the zebra on it?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, fruit Stripes Fruit.
Speaker 2:Stripes.
Speaker 1:Fruit Stripes Best five seconds ever, yep.
Speaker 2:Kind of reminds me of just the beginning of Fruit Stripe, and then you get chocolate and caramel, so you get the fruity taste I do.
Speaker 1:I do too, so Fruit Stripe gum's great for five seconds Amazing, the best gum ever made. For five seconds.
Speaker 3:And then it's you eat the whole pack in 30 seconds because you're like mm. Yeah, 100%.
Speaker 1:It's great gum, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:The last one tonight is called WISPA Duo, that's W-I-S-P-A.
Speaker 1:Are you saving this for last, or did we get them in some kind of particular order? And where's the butler?
Speaker 2:I will say I like that one better than the first one.
Speaker 1:So two is better than one Even though it's stale A thousand grand.
Speaker 2:Definitely stale.
Speaker 3:We like. The catch was definitely better than the Yorkie. All right, here we go. Here's the Wisp duo. So I'm guessing there's two parts of this. It's a duo. Okay, I can tell you real quick, not my favorite. I can't taste it. It's a texture thing, trust me Well yeah, I don't like that. It's crumbling.
Speaker 1:It's terrible, it's crumbling.
Speaker 3:You like that one. Hold on it's chocolate that crumbles in your mouth. I kind of like it. You can have the rest of that one. It's terrible, I kind of like it. You can have the rest of that one. It's terrible, I kind of like it. It's like airy. It's like eating dirt.
Speaker 1:You know clay dirt, you know how clay dirt you can grab it. It just crumbles it. That's the texture and it's chocolate. What does it taste like?
Speaker 3:Dirty Whispa, whispa, whispa, duo, duo. It's by cadbury.
Speaker 1:That's weird so that's the first three of like 11, so how many did you have while you were there?
Speaker 3:none. I didn't try any of these interesting. I didn't eat any of them because I was going to bring them back for us here you go discover our, discover our Cadbury Wispaduo chocolate bar 47.4 grams of smooth milk chocolate and bubbly texture.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't call it bubbly texture, I'd call it dirty. 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon here.
Speaker 1:That's interesting, man, that's interesting.
Speaker 2:Not terrible, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 1:well, that's interesting, man, that's interesting, not terrible, you know it's not terrible.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my kid loved it. Very good container, it says here, but it's not. This is very tasty and, of course, cadbury is wonderful, but it's not quite as good as arrow. I don't know what arrow, I don't know, I don't know I've got one called Tiger.
Speaker 3:No, I've not tried any of these Now we'll tell you what we did eat a lot of over there that Logan absolutely loves. They're potato chips and they're called Tato T-A-Y-T-O Right, tato, I guess. Tato chips and man. They're good and you can get them on Amazon.
Speaker 2:Daddy, get me some Tato chips.
Speaker 3:We ate like 30 bags of Tato chips while we were over there, but I didn't eat any of these candy bars, so we can eat them here, so let me ask you two a question. Okay.
Speaker 1:Yep, okay, and this was a question. Hallie got at this program she's at because she had to do a meet and greet and it was like they gave them like questions they could answer and the one she chose to answer was tell us something unique about the place you're from. Okay, what do you think she chose?
Speaker 3:bourbon. Why didn't she bring me up about me being here?
Speaker 1:I don't, I honestly don't know what she chose. Oh, it was down to two answers. I guess my bourbon or horses basketball. Nope, it was. It was. Either was either the Kentucky Derby or bourbon. Okay, and I told her she should do bourbon because that's where she's from, correct.
Speaker 2:And it's not really made anywhere else Was she born?
Speaker 1:here. She was born in Lexington, yep.
Speaker 3:You know anybody asks anything about where you're from. Bourbon and horses and basketball I mean, that's what we're known for. You know? Yeah, and chicken.
Speaker 2:Everyone on this trip, everyone when we said we're from Kentucky. Oh horses, kentucky Derby.
Speaker 1:And that's what she was thinking. She thought more people would may be in high school. Seniors would know more about, maybe, the Derby.
Speaker 3:Maybe those seniors.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:Other seniors Right Absolutely.
Speaker 1:Although the funny thing was it was on this, so I don't know which one she chose, so yeah well, either one's a good answer.
Speaker 2:I think so on the uh we were. We were walking to lunch at the soggy dollar bar and grill. Is that the only place there? No, there are several others.
Speaker 3:But that's the one really good.
Speaker 2:yeah, really Really good I was walking by these guys and the one was like you know the big bourbon guy and I've got this. Blanton's and they had Blanton's, so I had to buy Blanton's and I'm walking by going oh wow, it's pervasive, it's everywhere. Blanton's is good.
Speaker 3:But, it's not.
Speaker 2:Blanton's is pretty good. I had all three of them on that, but it's true, that's what the guy was saying. But uh, blatant is good. Yeah, you're the one I like.
Speaker 3:It always cracks me up. You'll be in the island somewhere. Oh, kentucky bourbon, jack daniels, yeah no it's owned by brown foreman, but that's out of tennessee. Yeah, well, the that the soggy dollar.
Speaker 2:Good is really good time. Um, so the the thing that's kind of cool about yosemite is there's no pier or or anything there, so all the yachts come on, come in the harbor, they drop anchor, come in. I didn't on this trip, okay, but I did see the owner of the Buffalo Bills came in on his super yacht, by the way, which was interesting.
Speaker 1:And then I guess they just got to do a little boat over to the island. Yeah, they had their own little tender boat, little dinghy, little dinghy.
Speaker 2:They actually had a tender boat and a dinghy, which was pretty crazy. They had a tender boat for their tender boat, anna dinging, which was pretty crazy. They had a tender boat for their tender boat, but they called. They called the bar the soggy dollar bar because you know, the people would, you know, dock their boats and their dollars would get all wet. Because there's no dock there. They have to swim into shore. Um, so, yeah, it was, it was fun. The one day I counted 33 yachts that were in the harbor and um how's the water and the beach um the most?
Speaker 2:the clearest, bluest, just stunning water, white sandy beach. I mean, it's just what you know, what you think that paradise would look like right, I mean yeah, it was, it was, it was incredible and sounds like the dirty myrtle yeah. Basically the same as Charles Barkley talks about Galveston and that dirty water.
Speaker 1:The reason why I ask is Chris and I have been to Puerto Rico on a trip and stayed at a resort at Puerto Rico and the ocean and the beach were terrible. The resort was amazing, but the ocean and the beach were terrible.
Speaker 2:Too bad we have no video on this podcast, but I'll show you my. Let's get it when the sun was out.
Speaker 3:You know he'd been at the soggy bottom for like days. There was only three yachts out there. He just thinks it was 30. It was the bottomless.
Speaker 1:They all look alike. Yeah, yeah, no, exactly.
Speaker 2:It was pretty nuts. This was a day where there were an awful lot of.
Speaker 1:Gatchits.
Speaker 2:Awful lot of gatchits out there. I don't know how to make this go away.
Speaker 3:This was good for a podcast. Yeah, it's great, it's great.
Speaker 1:There's Chris's boat. What are you talking about?
Speaker 3:Yeah, Is that the 70-foot catamaran? That's the dinghy. Oh, that's Right. Yeah, is that the?
Speaker 2:70-foot catamaran. That's the dinghy. Oh, that's right. Yeah yeah, so anyway, it was good times. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3:And now we're going to end the podcast because I went to Winchester today Four letters.
Speaker 1:One word Uh-uh Got beat. Yeah, he did.
Speaker 2:Gunther Taringa is the heavyweight champ once again.
