Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:01

Hey, uh welcome back, number one podcast part two. I'm Gator. I'm Slice Bird. We uh we just made uh Twinkie Pizza, our first Twinkie Pizza. Yeah, certainly the first, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:13

And uh I was just stopped in the kitchen and to hold it up in the light and look at the uh the crust, which actually it looks pretty good. It's it's thicker, it's it's it's thicker than um a nor like our normal pizza, but it but because I parbaked it a little bit, it's not um it's not like d dougy or anything.

SPEAKER_01 0:33

So the the crust is a good thing. And then um we uh we put Twinkies. We put Nutella Twinkies. I wanted the kind of an icing on top, but it ended up being it it's it's an icing, but it wasn't as it wasn't as fluffy. I wanted like more of a cream. You wanted like uh like the like the interior of a Twinkie, maybe you wanted to replicate that. I was trying to do more like do a little more dollops of cream, yeah. And I would have probably needed added like two or three times the powdered sugar. It was more like an icing that you drizzle and less like a cream puff. Maybe next time, because certainly there's gonna be a next time. We're making this all the time. Maybe we'll do like um whipped cream, like get the candy cream, like little dollop squirts. Yeah, so that's it. That would be much easier than making up making a big mess and everything. So we um but then we actually it would have just been a tweaky pizza, but we couldn't stop there, could we? No, certainly not. We had these old fast breaks that we found out weren't real chocolate. Chocolate candy. I found out about these fast breaks that were chocolate candy. So um I had bought some and when I tasted one, I thought, I don't want to eat this chocolate candy. I want to eat real chocolate. You want to eat chocolate chocolate. So we put them on there. We put all of them on there. So that's also a fast break, mini fast break twinkie. How could you possibly improve on the Twinkie Pizza? You thought it wasn't possible. Mini fast breaks. Mini fast breaks. Even with just chocolate candy. Yeah. I'll take it. So I can't I can't hold back anymore. I gotta eat it. We're gonna go for it. We're gonna eat it.

SPEAKER_00 2:06

Oh boy, you hang your mouth. Oh, great.

SPEAKER_01 2:11

This is the best Twinkie pizza I've ever had.

SPEAKER_00 2:13

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 2:15

What is it? It makes it taste, it's that crust. That crust gives it almost like a it almost kind of gives you like a graham cracker vibe. Mm-hmm. Sometimes give me graham like we could have put a little cinnamon on here probably. Yeah, a little bit. Right? Like um that would kind of give it the cinnamon graham, because that crust is giving graham cracker vibes. Yeah. And I don't know how, except it's crunchy.

SPEAKER_01 2:42

It's the right texture, right? Yeah, a little cinnamon. Get some churro vibes going. That's really good. That's really good. Twinky pizza. I have to say, this is a masterpiece of a dessert pizza. I've already had a little piece of cake this morning, and then I had another piece of banana bread cake. Well, I really shouldn't eat this, but it's hard to not eat this. Yeah, I mean, how can you Twinkie pizza? You can't resist that. And look at that. You just did something. You know how people open an Oreo? You kind of did something in that vein when you picked that little Twinkie off the pizza. Right, I want to adjust the Twinkie. Mm-hmm. Is that how you eat an Oreo? Do you do that? No, I don't think that's not a thing. I don't even like Oreos that much, honestly.

SPEAKER_00 3:32

The cookie always just tastes waxy or manufacturer. Like this is not a I I like cookies. Oreo is not a cookie, it's like a I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 3:43

It's a it's a cookie, but it's like a I don't know, it's like a um very uh particular kind of cookie. It's like it's like in its own uh category. It's cookie adjacent.

SPEAKER_00 3:56

Man, this is so bad for you. You can just tell when you eat it. I disagree. Oh man, like I really shouldn't keep eating this. That's how I feel. Partly like that's enough. Half a slice.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

Yeah, this is really good. I got no problem eating it.

SPEAKER_00 4:20

You feel like you just ate too many candy bars and two twinkies and a little bread? Yeah, a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 4:30

I don't know. I think this is the kind of thing that makes me a little sick to my stomach. But worth it. That was so sweet. But worth it. What really? Absolutely worth it. That was that was really good. That was it was the best drinking pizza I've ever had. That's true. So far. So far. It's only gonna get better. Um, I think so. What's our critique then? I mean how could you improve it? How could we improve it? I think we go with the with the whipped cream. Whipped cream, definitely, instead of the icing. The icing was too much, too sweet. And I think we should make whipped cream will give that lightness. You know, that like a little bit of that's what it needs, is that light fluffiness. I think there should be two versions. Like, you know how we took the regular Twinkies and the chocolate Twinkies and put them both on? I want to have like a chocolate version with the chocolate Twinkies. You know what? And the Nutella, right? And then I want to have like a classic version. Would you put Nutella on the classic or just right on the bread? No, I would put Twinkies on bread. I would put I would put uh I would brush out butter and cinnamon sugar for the base. And then I will put the Twinkie, the the regular, yeah. Yeah, I don't, I I think it doesn't need the chocolate Twinkies. Because this one, if you did Nutella and then classic Twinkies, yeah, I think that could work really well too. Like you don't need the chocolate Twinkies, you know what I mean? And then but you need the whipped cream. You don't need the icing. No, yeah. But if you've packed the Twinkies, I thought thickness was good. I mean, it wasn't too pretty good, right? Yeah, you want them uh meaty. You want them to be. So it but I like that they were packed, right? That made it really worthwhile. You won't feel like you're just eating bread. Right. You're eating twinkies. Pack it with so Nutella, I thought that the mountain Nutella was good. Uh-huh. Like not too thick and not too thin. And then pack it with regular yellow Twinkies. What do you call them? Vanilla or whatever they are. That's the classic twinky. Yeah, original golden. Golden Twinkies. And then when it comes out, okay, they get a little toasty because the they get a little toasty actually in the oven. Oh, yeah. And when it comes out, you hit it with that um uh whipped cream. Yep. And that'd be it. That's all I need. You could decide whether you want to do a little, you could have a little shaker of cinnamon if you wanted to try it. Sure, yeah. Yeah. A little cinnamon sugar. Great idea, Oklahoma, bro. Yep. Now I feel like crap. Not me. I feel great, but yeah. Yeah, but you're you're like you're still in your fighting age. You're still a young fighting guy. I'm like, oh, I just shouldn't eat like that. Oh yeah, I probably shouldn't either, but I'm trying to do like body healing. And like, you know, what you eat is important when you're healing. Well, what could be better for you than a hostess Twinkie? I don't know. I maybe like carrot juice. Carrot juice is pretty good, actually. I kind of loved carrot juice. Do you ever get the carrot juice awards? Yeah. I love that. But I, you know, I got a juicer, so I'll I like to just I just put the carrots right in there. The thing I like about juice is I like to squeeze it and then drink it right then. I feel like it's never gonna be better. Fresh squeezed. If I'm gonna have carrot juice, I you know, I really like Caroline will buy like a quart of carrot juice from Aldi. Yeah. I just don't feel like, I mean, it tastes fine. I don't feel like it can really have the nutrients. When you take carrots and you plunge them through right into your glass, yeah. You can't be there. There's nothing like that. And then and then you just feel it. I should actually carrot. Yeah, yeah. Because I got the juicer and it's real easy. Sometimes I I use when I had the juicer going, it'd be like, you know, carrots, celery, spinach, you know, apples. Yeah, V8. Yeah. And and then the apples always make it a little sweet, but even just carrots. Just straight up carrots, straight up apples. I love it. Very helpful. Apple apples carrots is good. You can put ginger in there. Apple, carrot, ginger? Yeah. I don't know if you can put ginger in the juicer. Yeah, you just put it in the juicer. Anyway, you're just trying to get a little taste of ginger. Sure. Lemon, maybe. Yeah, it sounds good. Oh, I'm gonna bust out the juicer. Maybe that's what we do next. Yeah, next season. No, just next episode. Juicer. Maybe just then one episode. Juice for episode. I'm not I don't really want to let go of season eight. Yeah. Like I'm I'm having a hard time ever thinking about leaving season. I'd have to have a really good reason to go off season eight. You know what I mean? Because season eight's the sweet spot. Yeah. No rules. Our season eight is is no rules just right, also known as. Lucy goosey. Also known as. Freeform. Also known as one more. Uh I forgot. Lucy goosey, freeform. Anything goes? Anything goes. Anything goes. That's always no rules. Lucy goosey. Freeform. The freeform is the one I forget a lot, too. Right. We're like freeform jazz. So we have a lot of yeah, so that's the thing. Season eight has a lot of things that we do. And so we we don't have to, we're not just talking about Babcocks, although we usually do talk about them a butt a bit. We're not just talking about um baking or cooking. Right. But we do that sometimes. Yeah, and we might actually have to get into um, you know, like uh serious conversation like how's your mental health? Mental health, yeah. How is your mental health? I'm ready. Let's do it right now. I'm ready. I mean we don't have to get deep into it, but we can just show it like this. Like what is like how do you even I don't know. I mean, I guess we we we hang out enough that we can uh we can just make an audio tour like like that 20 minutes. Easy, right? Didn't even do it, didn't even think about it. You can have a script. You could do it every day. We could do it every day. So I can just say how's your your mental health, and then you cannot think that's weird, right? No, I I uh quite the opposite. I I welcome it. I feel like you know how my mental health is because I tell you, I talk about it all the time. I'm like, oh god, I feel like that's it. Yeah, we talk about it. We don't, you know, we we talk about um all kinds of issues, including our the state of our mental health. You know, if we could, we would talk about our wives right here on the podcast. We can talk about our wives, but it's just not the right place. Well, we could neither of them will ever listen to this. So if that's what you're if that's what you're like. What happens is if you talk about it and somebody listens to it that's not them and the work gets back to them, right? Then you're in a pickle. That's yeah, that's worse than if they just no reason to talk about our wives on the podcast. No, of course. That's the personal stuff. That's personal stuff. But it's not bad to talk about uh off mic or say oh what's going on, blah, blah, blah. And then you say, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then I say, okay. I don't know, man. But uh you you seem to be in a good spot. Yeah. You mentally you're yeah, I'm doing I'm doing good. I'm definitely doing good. I got nothing, no, no concerns. I'm very I'm super fortunate. I have a great life partner. I got amazing kids. I really couldn't ask for more. I mean, that was what I was getting to with my little personal journal. The thing about my little personal journal is it's a way for me to talk to myself. And I I like to be expressive, so I can sit there and write about stuff, but it takes so long. So I can just talk about it, right? And when I talk about it, it helps me work through what the hell's going on. I completely relate to that. And one of the things that I came to was just like, man. Like I yeah, my back hurts. Yeah, I'm not doing my normal shit. But but the reality is like, look around, dude. Like you don't have real teams. You really should not be complaining about your neck hurting right now in the kind of world we're living in. So other people have problems. The best thing is obviously what I like to think of as that perspective shift or that finding the perspective that allows you to take take uh you know take all your problems in stride. Yeah. Usually not life or death. Usually it's just like you gotta uh what's the word? You gotta uh you gotta put it in perspective. Put it in perspective. You know what? I I realize it now, and I uh you don't have the mustache. You're not a Mario bro. And you know what? I don't know if I can say this because I'm I'm as like I I I I know I can say this, but I don't want people to take it the wrong way. Right. You're much, much more handsome without the mustache. Now, I mean I I can see beauty and handsome. Like I can tell when you know Brad Pitts is a good look guy. Tom Cruise good look guy. You can know a good look guy when you see one. You know an ugly guy when you see one. Doesn't mean but when you you as a major guy uh you can empirically recognize male beauty. Yeah, and that doesn't mean that doesn't mean that you like guys. I mean a lot of guys might think, and you know, oh you can't say like there's look maxing now with young kids are actually like really concerned about how they look and talking about looks maxing. You know about it. Yeah, I heard them talking about it on the NPR the other day. Anyway, um so yeah, it's like and I feel the same way about me. Yeah, I I think that like the mustache really just gives you a whole different personality look. 100%. And and it's uh I just I don't know, man. The funniest part about that is uh for I had the mustache for two months. Yeah. Every day for two months, both of my kids, dad, that looks terrible. You gotta shave it off. Oh, really? Gotta shave it off. Neither of them even realize it. No. Yeah. It took Georgia. It took Georgia like at least two or three days before she said, Oh, you shaved your m- Yeah. It took me a minute. Yeah, because I'm used to you without it. But right, but I feel like it, I feel like after a couple months, it kind of gets to like um now that's my normal. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's just but it's just but it's weird. Like it's not not enough that it's shocking. That you know what I mean? Did you get a haircut too? No. Oh no, it just saved my mustache. You look that different, yeah. Huh. Well, I don't like having a mustache. I tried it because you made me, you made me. I made you have the soul stash. No, but you have one. I was like, well shit, man. I guess I I'm shaving all the time. I might as well see what's going on with that. It was not fun. There's always milk and food, and then it was just like milk mustache. I don't know. It didn't feel good on my lip. I didn't like it on my lips. My wife didn't like it. I thought that was funny the other day when we recorded the podcast at your house and we made falafel for lunch. Yeah. Afterwards, you're like, oh, you got all the yawker sauce in your mustache. Yeah. Oh, your mustache. I took a picture. You saw that picture on Instagram. Your hair was halfway down your mouth opening. Yeah. Well, it needed to be trimmed at a minimum. Yeah. So I decided. It was actually I did it for Sarah because I knew she would appreciate it. Did she notice right away? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because she hates the mustache too. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody hates it except for me. So many kids these days love these beards and mustaches, man. They're all wearing. What's up with that? What's up with that? It's just a trend, man. Yeah. It's just a trend. Everybody's wearing a beard now. They're wearing beards. Let's get out of here, man. I gotta own. I got a basketball to go get prepped to watch. Oh, yeah. They got the national championship. Oh, it's it's who knows what it is. It's very timeless. It could be anything. It could be any random basketball game. Or soccer. Any sports. We do sports talk here. Yeah. Anyway, uh, you know what? Let's clean up and then we'll do a duo and then we'll do a duo on the way home. All right, I'm gonna pause real quick so we can clean up.

SPEAKER_02 15:18

We're back, and we're back back in the podmobile.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

Yes, we are. We uh, you know, we we had a we had a dream that we were going to make a podcast, and then another man had a dream about a Twinkie pizza, right? That's right. And he told us, and we made that dream into a reality. And now that dream has become true, hasn't it? It has become reality. We're making dreams come true. That's what we do, that's what we do around here. The only thing that could be better is if Oklahoma Bro was here with us, right? If he could teleport from Oklahoma. Do you know that I enjoyed talking to him, hearing him? Yeah, yeah. I felt like I was talking to him. Right, it felt like he was right there in the room with us. Yeah, him and at me. I enjoyed uh hearing I I think Oklahoma Bro could be my friend. Yeah, you would be real. You would be bros in real life, right? Sure. And and and if he were here, if we could just if we could just fly him here for this or fly him a pizza there. I don't know how we do it. No, I think we should fly, we should get uh get buy him a plane ticket to fly here so we can eat a Twinkie pizza. I got another idea. He can get like a little bubbly crust at the store. Oh, there you go. And then get he can make his own. He can make his own. Get a little request crust. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:38

A little bubbly pizza crust at the Kroger or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 16:40

Right, get your little Nutella on there. Yep. And then do you have the Nutella or do we leave it? Uh we I put it with the Twinkies. Okay. And then you get some Twinkies of your choice, and then we decided that of your choice, but not banana twinkies. If you get banana, it's okay. It's a banana flavor. Any flavor but banana is. I think it it could be like banana pudding, which would it could be good. It doesn't have what if you put banana on there and then you actually put bananas all over it? Banana pudding is the one that always has vanilla wafers, right? Yeah. What if you put nail wafers on the banana? Once I thought of vanilla wafers, then I started to get on board. I was like, yeah, that's gonna work. Yeah. It could work. It could totally work. You could do banana twinkies with real bananas and nail wafers. Did you leave something up there? No, I didn't, but that does sound really good. It would be delicious. And that crust was so good. Yeah, the nail wafers changed my tune. Yeah. The pizza crust had it totally tasted like graham cracker. It could easily just a little bit of cinnamon on there when you before you put anything on. It was good. Or a little bit of cinnamon on top or something. It was it was all in anyway. That was it was if that was if that if I had just eaten a meal and that little piece that we had was my dessert, that would be good. But I don't want to eat it like instead of dinner. Right. And I I think that my biggest problem with it is really that the icing, like putting that icing on it was too much. Like the just the straight up sectioner sugar milk icing, right? If we had just left the Twinkies and the Nutella and the bread, I think. And I I really do think that the the whipped cream would give it the right touch. That's stuff. But it just went over the top for me. Sure. But I don't think it was the Twinkies that sent it over the top necessarily. I don't know. Yeah, the fast break bar. It was it was uh you know, your heart was in the right place, it was a good idea, but it's just it's not it's too much. Not necessary, yeah, yeah. I mean, I did taste them in there, but it kind of like took away from the Twinkie thing. It's like supposed to be a Twinkie vibe. Right. It needs to be a total Twinkie vibe. This is the time for the Twinkie to shine. You don't want it to be overshadowed. Have a little cinnamon crust or having a little whipped cream, that's all good, but the Twinkie's gonna be the main thing. Yeah. We're gonna do it again, and then we can make a fast break pizza. But there you go. They should be separate. There you go. And then the Twinkie, we can make one while we're open in the afternoon if we just have the Twinkies ready. Yeah. The whipped cream ready would be easy enough to just do it in the afternoon. Yeah. You know. Totally. No problem. So um we appreciate that uh y'all, y'all listening to us and and um and and and we're we're so glad we've been able to change your lives. I was just about to say the same thing. We are so happy that we can change your lives for the better. For the better. I like how you added that qualifier on there. For the better, yeah. Just to be clear. You know, because uh I'll tell you what, let's just go out with a little bit of a a song, like a song and dance.

SPEAKER_02 22:01

We have fifteen hours a week a month.

SPEAKER_01 23:27

Rummy probably isn't. We just lost Wayne. We still lost one. Fifteen hours. We're going to use them all. I'm really proud of you. I'm really proud of you, Sliceberg. You're proud of my uh I'm proud that you my stamina. Yeah, you kept it going, man. Like that, I can tell you one thing. That was the longest live recorder harmonica duo ever performed in the in the history of the planet. Exactly. And so I feel good about that. Like, if they had against a book of world records for just for that. For that, we would be the ones who got it. I got like that, you know, that stupid idea with my movie. I'm gonna go to film festivals. That's a stupid idea. Film festivals like real filmmakers. I'm like, yeah. I did find out that there are ones. I did find out there's ones that are specially made for vertical. Okay. Like for like wearables and stuff like that. Oh, so that's where I need to do that. That's what I want. But whatever. I'm looking at that. But European. Well, more like just anywhere that's in a cool town. Like, oh, I want to go to Italy. I want to go to France. Wrong one dance. Not sun dance. I would like to, but anyway. So the the uh the one festival has got like put it put it like you know you get like a one thing it's like not selected, and then and then you get another thing it's like, you know, you get there's other things you can get, like you know honorable mention or whatever. So one of them is said um it said uh semifinalist. Like what does that mean? It's closely like I tried to look at it, it means different things, but no nobody knows. Like everybody's got semifinalists means like, good job. You didn't pick your semifinals, whatever. At least they didn't say you know, denied or whatever. Right. And so then the next couple days ago, it changes from semifinalist to nominated. Oh, okay. I'm like, well, what does nominated mean? I don't know. I don't know. And so then I was like, why like they I'm like, I don't understand what's going on with this film festival. So I go to look at the film festival, it's in Paris, by the way, which is cool. Yeah. But um the one thing I realized this is the only film festival out of whatever that I saw, the only one that had a like you you you every time you go to film festival, you you you submit to being a category, like I want best director, I want best actor, I want best feature film, best uh narrative, best screenplay, stuff like that, right? Best uh movie filmed on your phone. Yeah, they don't have that one. But but this one had one called non-dialogue. Okay. There was I never saw that. Uh this had a category of non-dialogue. I'm like, That's you. How many people are good like my movie's non-dialogue. Like, how many moves like I've got to get that? That's what a movie is. I'm moving, I'm gonna I'm nominated. Nominated for the non-dialogue category. Well, you should be able to do that. They probably got three films on that one if they're lucky. Maybe that'll be one that they show. And got to get to go to Paris. How'd that be? I don't think that's gonna happen. I'm just telling you. It's just I don't think I mean I don't even think I'm gonna get it selected to the non-dialogue one as well. Well, we'll see. But I'll talk about it's yeah, it's let's yeah, we'll see. But you never look into that vertical thing. Anyway, cool. Thank you, man. Yeah, man. Uh that was fun. Thanks for driving. It's fun, it's it's good to have friends, man. You know, always remember that. I will remember that. And uh I'll text you about that. Okay, yeah. I'm gonna take you. Okay. Yeah, I got enough stuff, man. You eat those. You got the cake, you got a lot of stuff to eat. You got smort pizza. All right, yeah.
