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.
Introduction: Three Friends Around a Table
Speaker 1three guys around a table and by three guys.
Speaker 3We'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 2yes I think so most on some things on some things.
Speaker 1They don't vary at all yeah, but yeah, on some things they're they're dramatically vastly different.
Speaker 2Yeah, I agree, mainly things we don't talk about on the podcast, correct?
Speaker 1there's a reason why, yeah, yeah well, look uh you should hear when the mics are off though.
Speaker 2Well it's, it's been a minute since we've done one of these.
Speaker 3Oh, I wonder why.
Speaker 2Yeah, hmm, some of us have been traveling a little, and some of us have been working a lot.
Speaker 1Well this is in the working a lot category. You're correct, so in other words is this the?
Speaker 2is this the uh?
Speaker 3tables are turned.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Oh Is this? The Tables are turned. Oh how the turntables. The alternate universe it's.
Speaker 2Bizarro Seinfeld. Yeah, I think it is. So today we're just going to do a little Poo-pourri, poo-pourri.
Speaker 1I 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 2Thank you, COVID. Well, so the first question that we have to address is yes, the house is hot tonight.
Speaker 3I have no idea what's going on.
Speaker 1There is no blanket on me tonight, for the first time since we've ever podcasted.
Speaker 2I want it known. It is a thousand degrees in this house, the temperature is exactly the same as it always is.
Speaker 3That's 100% fake news. Look, the snowman has finally melted in the corner.
Speaker 2This is ridiculous it is 69 degrees in here. I actually have socks on.
Speaker 1It's hot in here, it's not even cool and the blanket is not needed.
Speaker 3It's here but not needed. I thought the reason you had socks on is because you haven't had your nails done lately.
Speaker 2No, I had them taken care of Did you have the fish, eat them.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2Oh 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 1Yeah, 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 3That 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 2I 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 3oh yeah, let's go in um, I, I, never I.
Speaker 2I 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.
How We All Became Friends
Speaker 1I want I want to be shout out to all of our senegalians, the great thing we're worldwide.
Speaker 2I 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 1Let's go, Mr 502.
Speaker 2So Ukraine.
Speaker 3Oh, careful yeah.
Speaker 2I know they obviously need a respite from that is what it is.
Speaker 3So anyway, Go ahead. One of our loyal subject listeners reached out to me.
Speaker 1That's right out. Our listers are subjects, we uh, there's some certain of us in the room.
Speaker 3That'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 2Yeah, but anyhow. And you jokingly said that it was in the rehab facility.
Speaker 3right, 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 1Yeah, well, is that a problem.
Speaker 3This 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 2So 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 1I was going to say Wow, I felt like an old man was hitting on me.
Speaker 3Greg's going. Stranger danger, stranger danger, Stay away from me.
Speaker 1I pulled Hallie behind me. Danger danger, Stay away from it. I pulled Hallie behind me. It was weird.
Speaker 2I was definitely looking for some grooming potential.
Speaker 1No question.
Speaker 2But 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 1I'm missing here um, you're always the joke true, so I remember.
Speaker 3So 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 1And 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 3That. 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 1It was Myrtle Beach.
Speaker 3It was the Dirty Myrtle.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 3Hallie was Taylor's little.
Speaker 1That's right.
Speaker 3And 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 1Then our boys got to run around together all the time, right.
Speaker 3Yep, and then.
Speaker 1And they're still big buddies.
Speaker 3Oh, in these wings.
Speaker 1Yes, absolutely, and whatever else we don't want to know about, right.
Speaker 3And then I remember you introducing me to Mark. It was in his driveway and I came over because my mother kept saying cope.
Speaker 1Cope lives across the street.
Speaker 3And we just got to talking then and I think we worked on a particular golf cart.
Speaker 2We've had some golf carts Like day or two.
Speaker 3No, this was an unlimited model.
Speaker 2I believe, as I recall that particular meeting, you raided my drink fridge in the garage. Pretty good.
Speaker 1And some things continue to this day 100%.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1Cups Ridge, of course.
Speaker 2You went to the original.
Speaker 1And what do I do? I'm a bring my own kind of guy, you bring your own.
Speaker 3But anyhow, we got to be friends because of that and then we started hanging out with the golf carts, really started to be.
Speaker 1You know, greg, and I have unlimited.
Speaker 3Right, we have unlimited versions and Mark just has the regular.
Speaker 1Well, 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 3Let's go to gatlinburg for an ogle dog for lunch what's wrong with that?
Speaker 1that was a great public.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2Yeah, 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 1No, because bring the drinks, bring the drinks. Here's the problem. When all this started.
Speaker 3When 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 2I 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 3Yes, 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 1I'm skilled enough in one aspect of it.
Speaker 2We already decided.
Speaker 1I'm not skilled enough in the second aspect of it.
Speaker 3There'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 3That'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 1We should go to the Franklin County Fair and blow it up, yep.
Speaker 3Whoa, 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 2So anyway Awkward. Well, if anyone's going say it.
Speaker 1I'd rather our attorney say it. That's true, you know?
Travel Adventures: LA to Virgin Islands
Speaker 2yeah, 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 1Uh, 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 1Yep, 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 1It 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 1But, 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 3Once you get the wrinkles out of her throat. Wow, yes, it straightens it out it's a steamer.
Speaker 1Wow, that's pretty crazy, but LA got to see for a couple days. Yep, what was your favorite?
Speaker 2thing you saw Um probably my favorite thing.
Speaker 1We 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 1That's what it cost to do it.
Speaker 2I wonder how he made that money, didn't they each, like certain people, bought a letter, I don't know?
Speaker 1I know he organized. Well, according to our tour guide, he organized the fundraiser for it.
Speaker 2I heard the same thing, so that's interesting.
Speaker 1But 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 1And 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 3see the morrison hotel. No well, so I saw the beverly hills hotel and. Beverly Hills.
Speaker 1Hotel and the Beverly Hilton where Whitney.
Speaker 2Houston died. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I stayed in the Beverly Hilton, really. I stayed two floors above where she died Wow. What was the name of the hotel where?
Speaker 3John Belushi died out there.
Speaker 2Yeah, it is called hold on Chateau Marmot, Correct, yeah?
Speaker 1Nice, marmot, nice Marmot, nice, marmot. But speaking of people that know, we know, love the big lebowski it did. 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 2Was Bunny sitting by the pool. I've got to go find an ATM machine Blow.
Speaker 1But 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 2Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3I always enjoy it. I've done two of those and they're fantastic, Peter.
Speaker 2Falk's house. That was my thing, Quincy.
Speaker 3Jones 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 2Fun 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 1LA 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 3It's about the city of LA, that's what he's talking about.
Speaker 2It is his love letter to the city of LA.
Speaker 3I don't even know that. I've heard it. La woman.
Speaker 2It's a great. It's a fantastic song.
Speaker 3Well, that's cool. What about La?
Speaker 2Brea Tar Pits. It's interesting, isn't that wild? Yeah, it's crazy. You're like in the middle of Beverly Hills.
Speaker 1And 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 3Yeah, still.
Speaker 1We didn't go in the museum or anything, we just walked around the outside, but it was interesting.
Speaker 2That's wild.
Speaker 1Janie said it smells bad. Oh yeah, tell them where you ate.
Speaker 2Um which time, when you got a burger, we ate it in and out burger.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 2I'm, I'm, I love you know. Give me a double, double animal style you know, uh, hallie got her fries animal style.
Speaker 1I 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 3I saw that steak.
Speaker 1Look, 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 1Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2And I'm like there's no way this cooked, yeah, and it was?
Speaker 3it was blue. Yeah, it was purple, judging by the look of the picture you sent.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 3I have no idea.
Speaker 1The 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 2uh, it wasn't.
Speaker 1It 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 1uh, comp the entire meal and and considered like giving me money for the next time.
Speaker 2I mean that's customer service and begging for forgiveness, Right.
Speaker 1And 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 2So when you go back, any chance of hitting Spago in Beverly Hills?
Speaker 1There's a chance, because Janie and I have a day and a half there before we get.
Exploring Los Angeles Landmarks
Speaker 2Hallie, 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 1Um, 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 3Uh, 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 1But we just didn't have the opportunity to have it.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 1How dressed up do I got to be to?
Speaker 2go to Spago.
Speaker 1Not bad.
Speaker 2Seriously, 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 2I 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 2So 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 2It'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 1Boom, you got to have the nutmeg. You like the nutmeg?
Speaker 2Yes Can you make that here now. Yes, I have the nutmeg and the grater and all that. Let's go. We can absolutely do that. And not to change the topic, but don't care about winchester. 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 1That's awesome how was it? How warm was it?
Speaker 2uh, it was 85 every day, but, like it's perfect, it's warm in here today, but do you?
Speaker 1know something? Nobody told me about la? What's that? It's perfect, it's warm in here today. But do you know something? Nobody told me about la? What's that? It's cold, it gets, cool it gets. I mean, look, we dropped hailey off. It was like five o'clock. Janie and I went to santa monica pier because we wanted to see santa monica pier. Yep, I needed a sweatshirt, dude, yeah, the wind sell them out there.
Speaker 2The wind blows. The wind blows in off that of the pacific, which is cold water ocean anyway, always cold.
Speaker 1I mean, when the wind went blowing, it felt great. When the wind was blowing, it's cold, yep, yep. And I mean like I took the wrong clothes cold, so I got.
Speaker 2One last thing to say about the yeah, I needed a sweatshirt. One last thing to say about the trip back from USF. Yeah, thing to say about the uh yeah, I needed a sweatshirt.
Speaker 2One last thing to say about the trip back from yosemite taking off from a short runway, good times all great times, because you go all the way to the very end of the runway, turns the plane around and he starts revving the engine and he's obviously he's got the uh, uh, he's got the mercy brake on or whatever. But it's like, and then you let's go to that mercy brake and you feel like you're I love that.

Speaker 3Alright, so another potpourri. We're going to try something today. We've never had when I was in not in Winchester than today. We've never had when I was in not in winchester. When I was in ireland I brought back a bunch of candy bars that you cannot, because you like candy, I do. I like candy bars, I want candy bow, wow, wow. So we're going to uh, I brought three over tonight and we're all going to try these. We're all going to talk about them. Okay, the first candy bar I have is called Kit Kat.

Speaker 1On the wrapper. It talks about storage advice.
Speaker 3Uh-oh, I stored it properly, did you, though? Why did it have to go in the freezer? Well, because it was hot in his house, pretty good what's it? Taste like it's just chocolate. I mean, it's chocolate with like I don't know, it's weird chocolate with tar in it. It's like a malted chocolate.
Speaker 1I don't even know. I mean, it's just hard. Yeah, I didn't get anything out of it. There's not like caramel or anything like that.

Speaker 2I did buy some passion fruit and guava hard candy while I was down there. I knew guava would be involved, absolutely.
Speaker 1Love, love, passion fruit. What is?
Speaker 3this it's called a catch bar.
Speaker 1Cat Like catch.
Speaker 3Interesting. 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 2There'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 1The texture's like a thousand grand bar Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3Like a stale thousand.
Speaker 2It's got something fruity in it, though.
Speaker 3I'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 1The texture reminds me of a thousand grain bar. It's got like those little rice things in it.
Speaker 3To me it comes across like a very stale Twix.
Speaker 2Do you remember that gum that used to have the zebra on it?
Speaker 3Oh yeah, fruit Stripes Fruit.
Speaker 2Stripes.
Speaker 1Fruit Stripes Best five seconds ever, yep.
International Candy Bar Taste Test
Speaker 2Kind 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 1I do too, so Fruit Stripe gum's great for five seconds Amazing, the best gum ever made. For five seconds.
Speaker 3And then it's you eat the whole pack in 30 seconds because you're like mm. Yeah, 100%.
Speaker 1It's great gum, oh yeah.
Speaker 3The last one tonight is called WISPA Duo, that's W-I-S-P-A.
Speaker 1Are you saving this for last, or did we get them in some kind of particular order? And where's the butler?
Speaker 2I will say I like that one better than the first one.
Speaker 1So two is better than one Even though it's stale A thousand grand.
Speaker 2Definitely stale.
Speaker 3We 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 1It's terrible, it's crumbling.
Speaker 3You 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 1You 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 3Dirty Whispa, whispa, whispa, duo, duo. It's by cadbury.
Speaker 1That's weird so that's the first three of like 11, so how many did you have while you were there?
Speaker 3none. 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 2I wouldn't call it bubbly texture, I'd call it dirty. 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon here.
Speaker 1That's interesting, man, that's interesting.
Speaker 2Not terrible, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 1well, that's interesting, man, that's interesting, not terrible, you know it's not terrible.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 3No, 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 2Daddy, get me some Tato chips.
Speaker 3We 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 1Yep, 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 3bourbon. Why didn't she bring me up about me being here?
Speaker 1I 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 2And it's not really made anywhere else Was she born?
Speaker 1here. She was born in Lexington, yep.
Speaker 3You 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 2Everyone on this trip, everyone when we said we're from Kentucky. Oh horses, kentucky Derby.
Speaker 1And 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 3Maybe those seniors.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 3Other seniors Right Absolutely.
Speaker 1Although 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 2I 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 3But that's the one really good.
Speaker 2yeah, 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 3But, it's not.
Speaker 2Blanton'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 3It 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 2Good 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 1And 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.
Iconic Kentucky & Caribbean Experiences
Speaker 2They 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 2the 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 1The 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 2Too bad we have no video on this podcast, but I'll show you my. Let's get it when the sun was out.
Speaker 3You 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 1They all look alike. Yeah, yeah, no, exactly.
Speaker 2It was pretty nuts. This was a day where there were an awful lot of.
Speaker 1Gatchits.
Speaker 2Awful lot of gatchits out there. I don't know how to make this go away.
Speaker 3This was good for a podcast. Yeah, it's great, it's great.
Speaker 1There's Chris's boat. What are you talking about?
Speaker 3Yeah, Is that the 70-foot catamaran? That's the dinghy. Oh, that's Right. Yeah, is that the?
Speaker 270-foot catamaran. That's the dinghy. Oh, that's right. Yeah yeah, so anyway, it was good times. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3And now we're going to end the podcast because I went to Winchester today Four letters.
Speaker 1One word Uh-uh Got beat. Yeah, he did.
Speaker 2Gunther Taringa is the heavyweight champ once again.
Speaker 1Yes, thank you.
