Welcome to the Cashley Show. We are Kevin and Ashley.

unknown 0:24

Everywhere.

SPEAKER_00 0:26

Isn't that like is that Dolby surround sound? We go to the movie theater.

SPEAKER_03 0:29

I don't know. Is that everywhere? Yeah, maybe. Kind of like goes around theater. Yeah, it goes around the theater.

SPEAKER_00 0:36

Yeah. Guess I'm not as creative as I thought. Just stole it.

SPEAKER_03 0:40

Yeah. Alright. First up, shout out.

SPEAKER_00 0:42

Shout out.

SPEAKER_03 0:43

You want to do this one?

SPEAKER_00 0:44

No, you do it. I feel like I've done the last three.

SPEAKER_03 0:46

Well, I do one you and one me each week.

SPEAKER_00 0:49

I don't feel like that's true because I feel like I do them all. This is how I feel. Okay. These are my feelings. But you're feeling it. You can't tell me. You can't tell me what my feelings are.

SPEAKER_03 0:58

Maybe those are your feelings, but you're actually wrong. Because I usually do the first one of the week and you do the second. But I ended up adding this episode in from what I was going to do, so I kind of mixed it up myself. So we'll do the shout-out today for don't grab my computer with your toes.

SPEAKER_00 1:16

For my rules in this episode. Stop. Your feelings are wrong. Don't do that.

SPEAKER_03 1:22

It's hard. It's hard for me to concentrate when your toes are on things and go on a race to the road. Alright. We're gonna do my dad.

SPEAKER_00 1:29

Just kind of like my mom?

SPEAKER_03 1:31

Sure.

SPEAKER_00 1:32

Babies for a movie. Oh one of the best movies.

SPEAKER_03 1:35

What? Home. My mom? Yeah, you're right. That is a good movie. Alright, so thanks for listening, Dad.

SPEAKER_00 1:43

Thanks for listening, Dad.

SPEAKER_03 1:45

Okay, today's Laffy Taffy is why does Snoop Dogg use an umbrella?

SPEAKER_00 1:51

Something about drizzling.

SPEAKER_03 1:53

For drizzle.

SPEAKER_00 1:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:55

Good job, man.

SPEAKER_00 1:56

It's been months since I've gotten one.

SPEAKER_03 1:59

Today's episode is The Art of the Unexpected. Weird food pairings in the US.

SPEAKER_00 2:05

Just US?

SPEAKER_03 2:06

Yeah, we'll do the other ones later.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 2:08

So we're doing it because I've been watching videos of people visiting the US for the FIFA soccer tournament, and they've been trying American food for the first time. It's always fun to watch the videos of them trying the food and especially their reactions go from puzzled to delighted. So today we'll talk about some of those weird food combinations people eat in the US. Can you think of any before we start that are weird?

SPEAKER_00 2:32

That I wouldn't think to do, but like after I hear it, totally like makes total sense. And I do like it. Putting salt in chocolate milk.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

Right. I mean, salt and chocolate have been around for right forever. And like milk, cheese, right? Like butter. Like you get salted butter, cheese has salt in it. Yeah. So I mean, once you think about it, you're like, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

But I would never think like grabbing salt and like if I saw someone pour salt into any drink, like a glass of anything, but what are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 3:02

Yeah. One of them that was on here that was kind of interesting was pizza and ranch. Like I just don't think of it as a weird combination.

SPEAKER_00 3:09

Because it's been around your whole life.

SPEAKER_03 3:11

Yeah. Like even in elementary people did it. So I guess it's weird to some people. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 3:17

They were doing it in California when I was in high school and growing up too.

SPEAKER_03 3:21

First up is avocado and chocolate milkshake.

SPEAKER_00 3:25

Huh. Yeah, I wouldn't. Maybe it's kind of the same thing though, with like salt.

SPEAKER_03 3:28

Yeah, maybe it makes it thicker.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

Probably kind of like a banana.

SPEAKER_03 3:32

I mean, I love avocado, but I just don't know what about it with chocolate.

SPEAKER_00 3:37

Maybe it makes it kind of green too, so it's like mint chocolate chip.

SPEAKER_03 3:40

But not.

unknown 3:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:41

Alright, next one is ice cream and soy sauce. Ew.

SPEAKER_00 3:47

This is an American.

SPEAKER_03 3:48

It's a little salty.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

What kind of ice cream?

SPEAKER_03 3:51

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 3:51

Is it a certain flavor?

SPEAKER_03 3:53

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 3:54

Because maybe I'm just thinking of is it gonna be chocolate? Some of the ones on here have been vanilla ice cream and soy sauce.

SPEAKER_03 4:00

Pouring a few drops of soy sauce on vanilla ice cream is surprisingly delicious. A viral hack that tastes just like salted caramel. Huh. I'm not gonna try that. Why? Asiaki.

SPEAKER_00 4:13

You're lame.

SPEAKER_03 4:14

That's true. We should do an episode where we try weird foods, you and I.

SPEAKER_00 4:17

It would be so short because you wouldn't try anything.

SPEAKER_03 4:19

I would try it, but I would probably hate everything. Alright, next one is salt and apples.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

I don't think I've done I've done salt on tomato, like cut a tomato in half and salt it.

SPEAKER_03 4:30

I did we did salt on cantaloupe sometimes growing up.

SPEAKER_00 4:34

Yeah, we did watermelon.

SPEAKER_03 4:35

Yeah, people do watermelon that was on here. I don't think I did it. I think it was that different.

SPEAKER_00 4:40

Because again, it's not that weird to you.

SPEAKER_03 4:42

Yeah, no. The salt on apples is interesting.

SPEAKER_00 4:44

Yeah, I've never heard that before? Mm-hmm. Peanut butter and apples.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

Mm-hmm. And I'd never heard of that until I met you. It's just like a r a regular snack in your family. And I was like, what? Sonny. Uh next one is peanut butter and eggs. So like what? Put it like peanut butter in your omelet or yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:05

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 5:07

But you like peanut butter.

SPEAKER_00 5:08

I do. I also like eggs. Logic says you'll like them together. I don't know. Just like I would have to that's gonna look gross too.

SPEAKER_03 5:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:20

Because the peanut butter is gonna be all like melted from the eggs.

SPEAKER_03 5:23

Yeah, like peanut butter honey toast. So good. Yep. I ate them all the time with our middle kid when I was pregnant with him. All the time. That was my breakfast every morning. It's good stuff. Melty peanut butter.

SPEAKER_00 5:36

Yeah. Yeah. And that's why like I'm just thinking about eggs. Like runny eggs are the most disgusting thing in the world. So I'm just thinking like, if I have peanut butter that's like melted, like I'm gonna take a bite of egg and there's gonna be this like runny, like thick mush thing, I'll probably throw up. I don't taste a lot of stuff, so texture goes a long way.

SPEAKER_03 5:57

Yeah, texture's big for Kevin. Alright, next is French fries dipped in honey.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

I'll just dip it in a frosty. I'm not gonna waste the fries. Putting them in honey.

SPEAKER_03 6:08

That was on here, but I didn't put it down. Fries and ice cream.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

It's very normal as well.

SPEAKER_00 6:14

Yeah, and I I did see a video, maybe it was with you, of someone like a Brit or something, someone from the UK or whatever doing that. Yeah. Maybe it was Australia. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 6:23

People think it's so weird when they try it. It's weirdly amazing.

SPEAKER_00 6:26

Yep. Chocolate, salt, and potato.

SPEAKER_03 6:29

I like vanilla best.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

You like the vanilla frosty with the fries the best?

SPEAKER_03 6:33

Mm-hmm. I generally like vanilla ice cream better, but Costco does have a good chocolate ice cream and vanilla ice cream. But when they're you get the mix, it just tastes like chocolate.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

Yeah, right. Overpowers.

SPEAKER_03 6:46

Alright, next is apples and grilled cheese. So apple slices in your grilled cheese sandwich, Kev?

SPEAKER_00 6:52

I mean. I've heard of people putting like cheese on apple pie.

SPEAKER_03 6:57

That's later on, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:58

Oh, yeah. So like a slice of cheese. So this is imagining the same thing. And I haven't done that either. Yeah. But I imagine it's the same thing.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:05

Because at first I was like, oh, but you'd have hot apple. And I was like, I love apple pie. Those apples are hot.

SPEAKER_03 7:13

Yeah. Interesting. Next one is lemon sorbet and peanut butter cup. I just don't think I would like lemon and chocolate and peanut butter. Yeah. Lemon, chocolate, lemon, peanut butter, sample sound gross.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

Yeah. I'll pass. I mean, I'll try it. If someone's gonna give me one, I'll try it. I'm not gonna go spend my own hard-earned money.

SPEAKER_03 7:33

Trying weird stuff.

SPEAKER_00 7:34

Yeah, and trying lemons and peanut butter.

SPEAKER_03 7:36

Yeah. How about strawberries and balsamic vinegar?

SPEAKER_00 7:41

I would probably like that. I do like balsamic vinegar. Like I put it on like my steak salads and like all sorts of stuff. I do like the zing, the tang.

SPEAKER_03 7:49

I guess you should put some slice up some strawberries on your steak salad.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

Because isn't there a salad that has like sliced strawberries in it, but it's like a green salad?

SPEAKER_03 8:02

It weirds me out, so I don't make it.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

What is it normally chicken though? Is it like a chicken?

SPEAKER_03 8:06

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 8:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:08

I d I just don't know about strawberries and lettuce together.

SPEAKER_00 8:11

I was gonna say fruit and meat, but I mean there's lots of things. Like pineapple goes great with like basically all meats.

SPEAKER_03 8:18

Yeah. Next is balsamic and ice cream.

SPEAKER_00 8:23

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 8:24

Like vanilla ice cream.

SPEAKER_00 8:25

Vanilla ice cream and balsamic vinegar like vinaigrette, like the same. I when I have an ice cream, I don't want a zippy thing.

SPEAKER_03 8:33

Maybe you would like it though.

SPEAKER_00 8:34

I might.

SPEAKER_03 8:35

You might. You like some weird stuff. Yeah, it's true. Next one is honey and pizza.

SPEAKER_00 8:42

I've had like I've had honey, like honey barbecue chicken, and like honey different stuff, pizzas.

SPEAKER_03 8:48

So time for a game.

SPEAKER_00 8:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 8:50

This is a riddle. Who has married many women but was never married?

SPEAKER_00 8:57

The what would it be, like the pasture or the did I say pasture?

SPEAKER_03 9:01

Like a bake field.

SPEAKER_00 9:02

A pastor. Okay. Yeah, like a pastor or a bishop or yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:07

Yep. Good job, Kim.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

A man of the cloth.

SPEAKER_03 9:09

Two for two.

SPEAKER_00 9:10

Yes. I'm amazing today.

SPEAKER_03 9:13

You are. Next is must see what I'm wearing. Alright, next is strawberries in a warm cheese sauce.

SPEAKER_00 9:23

I mean, did someone do this on accident when they heard about like fondue? Like it was meant to be. It's like a fondue. Right. That's that's what I'm thinking. Like, yeah. But if you don't know about chocolate fondue, like you're like, okay. Like this is what they said to do, and then you eat it, and you're like, oh, it's not bad.

SPEAKER_03 9:39

Yeah. I wouldn't try that. That seems yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:42

What about like nacho cheese sauce? Because that's different than like uh cheese fondue, right?

SPEAKER_03 9:47

Yeah. But like even nacho cheese is like a little spicy, and then you have strawberry. Uh-huh. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 9:52

So you got some heat with the sweet. Call that the sweet heat.

SPEAKER_03 9:57

Skip over the one Kevin already said. What is it? What was it? Cheddar cheese and apple pie. Oh. So I think this is baked back east.

SPEAKER_00 10:04

Yeah, I think so. Like I think in probably like Northeast, like New England area. I like Dutch apple pie. That's one that's like the crumble stuff on top, right?

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 10:13

So I think the cheese apple pie is like a regular apple pie with like the crust on top and stuff like that. Because the Dutch apple pie, right, has like all the like the cinnamon sugar crumbs and all those things up top. And like cinnamon and cheese.

SPEAKER_02 10:29

But the apple pie has cinnamon in it.

SPEAKER_00 10:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:32

And sugar.

SPEAKER_00 10:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:34

And butter.

SPEAKER_00 10:34

And then maybe I'm just thinking that it has like more. Because it's got all the crumble up top.

SPEAKER_03 10:39

Yeah. Yeah. I think it sounds not great. Well put. Some people love it, and that's great. We all love different things. That's okay. Next is cucumbers dipped in honey.

SPEAKER_00 10:52

I've never had them in honey. I had them in like vinegar.

SPEAKER_03 10:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:55

Which I like.

SPEAKER_03 10:56

Mm-hmm. And ranch.

SPEAKER_00 10:58

Yeah, of course. Ranch. Sour cream dip. Yeah. I don't know if I I don't know. I feel like the bees have gotten and kind of shafted the last 20 years or so.

SPEAKER_01 11:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:08

So I feel bad eating their honey. Like we've turned them into like slaves.

SPEAKER_03 11:13

We use honey a lot at our house.

SPEAKER_00 11:15

I know, but every time I eat it, I'm always just like, sorry, bee. You worked so hard to make this, and then and then you died, and then I ate it. I guess it's just like every other animal.

SPEAKER_03 11:26

It's gonna die anyways, so it's okay. Alright. Next hot sauce and ice cream.

SPEAKER_00 11:32

People just getting bored with ice cream because there's like a thousand flavors of ice cream. You don't have to buy just vanilla and then put different stuff on it.

SPEAKER_03 11:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:39

Just buy ice cream with stuff in it. Different flavors. Yeah. There's lots of them.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

I don't think I would like this. I don't really like hot things.

SPEAKER_00 11:47

No, that's because you're like a super taster.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

So hot sauce and ice cream sounds echo.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

Yeah. I mean, again, that's a sweet heat, but kind of different.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:58

Next one is tomato and sugar.

SPEAKER_00 12:06

So what does when you do like strawberry shortcake, don't you like cut up strawberries and then put sugar? And doesn't it like makes like a brings the juices out? Yeah. Would that be the same thing?

SPEAKER_03 12:18

But do you but you because you have to let the strawberry sit for a while.

SPEAKER_00 12:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:21

So I don't know, are you letting this the tomato sit with the sugar or are you just sprinkling it on like you would salt and then eating it?

SPEAKER_00 12:28

Yeah, I I imagine that's what you would do. But I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 12:31

I guess if you buy a tomato from a store, it is a more bitter tasting. But if you grow it in your garden, it's not bitter if you pick it when it's ripe. So I don't know. I don't know. Maybe maybe it just helps people like the flavor of it.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Because it's America and we have to have sugar on everything. In everything and in everything.

SPEAKER_03 12:49

Next one. A nice juicy hamburger.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

With potato chips.

SPEAKER_03 12:55

Peanut butter.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

Stop it with the peanut butter already, people. Put it on apples and jam sandwich.

SPEAKER_01 13:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:03

And pancakes.

SPEAKER_03 13:04

I like a hamburger with barbecue sauce and onion rings and bacon. Peanut butter does not go on that.

SPEAKER_00 13:10

Doesn't fit. Yeah. I like a good mushroom burger. Yeah. So I can't imagine peanut butter and mushroom gravy.

SPEAKER_03 13:19

Sounds yucky. Sweet mushrooms. Next one is avocado and sugar. Also kind of weird.

SPEAKER_00 13:25

Right. I mean, you're just sweetening all these vegetables. Avocado. Like the doctor told you to eat more vegetables. Okay, you're just like sprinkling sugar on it.

SPEAKER_03 13:32

It's not bad. Now that I have sugar on it, I love tomatoes and avocados, so I don't know why you want to change them. I think they're great. This one. Green apple and salsa. Oh. I dislike green apples. Yeah, I like Fuji's. Those are our favorite. Honey crisp crisp. Yeah, he likes the more bitter. We like the more sweet.

SPEAKER_00 13:55

It doesn't taste bitter to me.

SPEAKER_03 13:57

Yeah. It's sour.

SPEAKER_00 13:58

Oh, the green apples? Or honey crisp?

SPEAKER_03 14:01

Well, honey crisp still gives me like the little like my jaw hurts because it's got a little tang. Yeah, okay. I don't like that.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

But that's not bitter.

SPEAKER_03 14:10

It is bitter. Well, not like not like you're right sour. But when I make carameled apples, we use fooji's and honey crisp, never green apples.

SPEAKER_00 14:19

But isn't that the whole point? It's like you have that carel that's like the sweet part. Nope. And then you have the apple that's like sour tangy.

SPEAKER_03 14:25

I don't like it. Yeah. So we never use them. I never use them.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

I never get to enjoy them.

SPEAKER_03 14:30

You get honey crisps out of it. So it's good enough.

SPEAKER_00 14:33

Yeah, but they're not that sour to me.

SPEAKER_03 14:35

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:36

In our episode about food, didn't we discover that like the granny smiths were like one of or and red delicious? Like those two were like the best.

SPEAKER_03 14:44

The worst apples are the best? Yep. Yes. Okay. The worst tasting things are the best for you.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

Well, maybe you need to try Granny Smiths with some salsa.

SPEAKER_03 14:52

No, I'm not doing that. That's yucky. The next one is tuna and olives. So in the picture, this had green olives. Yeah. I don't really know if it matters because the way it sounds. Not great. I like tuna and pickles. Yeah. I like tuna and pickles.

SPEAKER_00 15:10

Right, that's more classic.

SPEAKER_03 15:11

Kevin will ate tuna with melted cheese, which I think is weird too.

SPEAKER_00 15:16

I only did that because this is just like the whole cheese fondue thing, like strawberries and because like you were like, Do you want we were making grilled cheese? And you're like, Do you want a tuna? I was like, Yeah, I guess. Or like I made, or like you guys made tuna ones, and so I was making my own or something. And I was like, You guys made them with tuna? And you're like, Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_03 15:38

Whatever you say. I think you made one for the kids. I think it was Jack, and he was like, I don't want this.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

It's a tuna grilled cheese, that's what you asked for.

SPEAKER_03 15:49

Tuna and grilled cheese. We do both. And we also, it might be on here. I don't remember if I put it on here. We'll just say it now. On here it does tuna and ketchup, which sounds gross. But we do tuna and or grilled cheese and tomato soup, which is the best thing ever. But ketchup, eh.

SPEAKER_00 16:08

If you had some water to ketchup, don't you have tomato soup?

SPEAKER_03 16:10

Yeah, well, I don't love the taste of just ketchup though. It's a different flavor than tomato soup.

SPEAKER_00 16:15

Yeah, I think.

SPEAKER_03 16:16

Yeah. The vinegar and the sugars and the preservatives. Alright, time for Cashley's take. Kevin?

SPEAKER_00 16:24

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 16:24

Do you prefer waffles or pancakes?

SPEAKER_00 16:27

Pancakes.

SPEAKER_03 16:27

I prefer waffles.

SPEAKER_00 16:28

You can't put peanut butter on waffles.

SPEAKER_03 16:31

Yeah, then it's all melty in your little square.

SPEAKER_00 16:34

No, it's too much.

SPEAKER_03 16:35

Oh. I hate, hate making pancakes.

SPEAKER_00 16:38

Well, it's so it's the easiest thing in the world. You dip the thing.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

I break them.

SPEAKER_00 16:41

You turn it and it's like all the time. And then it cooks and then you flip it.

SPEAKER_03 16:45

No, you pour it in the waffle iron and you flip that and then it cooks it and beeps when it's done and you just scoop it out. Easy. Pancakes are pretty easy too. No, they're not. I cannot handle them. Alright, next is chocolate and potato chips.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

Yeah, I've heard this. And I've done like peanut butter M or peanut MMs and popcorn when we go to the movies.

SPEAKER_03 17:09

Yeah, that's what it was saying.

SPEAKER_00 17:10

Basically the same thing.

SPEAKER_03 17:11

Yeah.

unknown 17:11

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:13

Both seem kind of weird to me.

SPEAKER_00 17:14

Sweet. Sweet and salty.

unknown 17:16

Next one.

SPEAKER_00 17:16

I just need to hit myself with like a sour patch kids or one of those straws to get the sour.

SPEAKER_03 17:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:22

Sweet, salty, sour.

SPEAKER_03 17:24

Alright. Next one is watermelon and balsamic. Balsamic.

SPEAKER_00 17:30

Balsamic vinegarette. Vinegar. Balsamic and vinegar.

SPEAKER_03 17:32

Vinegar. That sounds yakky.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

Yeah. I don't know. Just like watermelon with a little bit of salt on it is good. And generally just watermelon by itself.

SPEAKER_03 17:42

Yeah, watermelon by itself. How about about watermelon and feta cheese?

SPEAKER_00 17:48

No. Tast watermelon.

SPEAKER_03 17:49

I don't care for the taste of feta. That's that's a little much for me. Kevin likes it.

SPEAKER_00 17:55

Do I?

SPEAKER_03 17:55

I thought you did like the feta cheese, like on a salad or something like that.

SPEAKER_00 17:59

What's feta cheese?

SPEAKER_03 18:00

The crumbly.

SPEAKER_00 18:01

Oh, yeah, I do like feta cheese.

SPEAKER_03 18:03

Yeah. Alright, next is cream cheese and olives.

SPEAKER_00 18:06

Like green olives?

SPEAKER_03 18:08

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 18:08

Because like black olives are good, but like I I'm trying to think where else I've eaten black olives besides like seven-layer bean dip.

SPEAKER_03 18:18

So it has things with both. Like this one is like cream cheese stuffed black olives. This one's like some sort of sandwich with green olives and cream cheese.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

Yeah. I like green olives better. Like they're that the flavor of them, the I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 18:32

I don't like green olives. What about banana and bacon?

SPEAKER_00 18:36

Do you just like take a bite of each? Like, how do you combine those?

SPEAKER_03 18:39

You hold the bacon against the banana and take a bite together? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 18:42

That seems like a lot of work.

SPEAKER_03 18:44

Seems yucky. Next, or did that one? Peanut butter and mayo.

SPEAKER_00 18:49

Are they cooking the banana? Because if you like because you people wrap bacon around stuff like all the time. And then don't they I think that's plantains though, not bananas, right? Those are different. People do like fried plantains.

SPEAKER_02 19:02

This one does have it cooked and rolled up.

SPEAKER_00 19:05

Yeah, that's that's what I was imagining, and now it's like that banana just seems like it is gonna be just mush. But I would imagine when you cook a banana, right, all of the carbs are gonna be like sugar, like caramelized.

SPEAKER_03 19:19

Banana peel bacon?

SPEAKER_00 19:21

Banana peel?

SPEAKER_03 19:22

You're eating the banana peels?

SPEAKER_00 19:24

I'm not. I I'll try banana bacon, but I don't know about banana peel bacon. Bananas are pretty awesome.

SPEAKER_03 19:30

Yeah, but the peel is yucky. Next is peanut butter and mayo.

SPEAKER_00 19:34

I have heard about this. Or no, maybe not. Maybe this is like peanut. I'm thinking peanut butter and the marshmallow fluff.

SPEAKER_03 19:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:43

That's what I'm thinking of. Fluff or nutter? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:46

Your daughter got that for her sandwich when she was in when we lived in Texas. Yep. I made it for lunch.

SPEAKER_00 19:51

It's like more of a south food.

SPEAKER_03 19:54

Yep. Alright, next one is peanut butter and pickle sandwich.

SPEAKER_00 19:58

I don't think I would ever do it, but I get it.

SPEAKER_03 20:00

I don't. That's yuck. Alright, next one is ham and cheese sandwich with jelly.

SPEAKER_00 20:07

No.

SPEAKER_03 20:09

Kevin said no to one. Alright, time for the old couple game. What is your first memory of your spouse?

SPEAKER_00 20:17

Once upon a time was called the Newlywood game.

SPEAKER_03 20:20

That was 20 years ago.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

My first memory of you? You're pretty sure it was the first. You were at the pharmacy at the place where I worked. And you so like you walked in there and you went over to the pharmacy. And there was another guy that I worked with who liked you, but then I saw you at the farm. Well, I like her. And so then I talked to him, and he's like, Yeah, yeah, you can ask her out, or you can you can go for it, because I won't.

SPEAKER_03 20:47

So anyways. Well, he didn't ask me out.

SPEAKER_00 20:51

Well, I didn't ask you out, but I was flirting with you and working the angles. Yes. Which I wouldn't have done because he liked you.

SPEAKER_03 20:59

Yeah. So my first memory of Kevin is I was working at a bank and he was working in the store. And he was carrying a box that said fritole lays on it, and he was pretending like it was so heavy. And I saw him and I was like, Oh, it looks heavy. And then I looked at the box that said fritoleys, and I was just laughed.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

You don't know. Have you lifted an entire box of chips?

SPEAKER_03 21:28

No, but I don't think they were as heavy as you were making it seem.

SPEAKER_00 21:31

I might have worked out earlier that day and my arms were tired. No, I'd seen you carry heavy. You start stacking them, those get heavy fat. Just think of all the chips that are in.

SPEAKER_03 21:44

No, you were just being funny.

SPEAKER_00 21:45

Yeah, that wasn't heavy at all. I actually think they were empty. And we were using them as like backer. And so we took down a front end display and like we were taking them to the freezer for the storage to use again later. So I don't I don't even think they had chips in 'em. I think they were actually empty.

SPEAKER_03 22:00

Kevin's funny.

SPEAKER_00 22:02

Thanks.

SPEAKER_03 22:02

Next one is for Kevin. Oh. Mayo and artichoke. Yeah. Yuck.

SPEAKER_00 22:08

This is what I feel like this is what my family did.

SPEAKER_03 22:11

It is what your family did.

SPEAKER_00 22:13

And then when I met you, you forced me to use butter.

SPEAKER_03 22:15

And then you were like, oh my gosh, this is amazing. Oh, well, you can use mayo. I'm not going to get it for you.

SPEAKER_00 22:22

Well, then I'm not going to do it. What are we supposed to do? Warm it up till it's melty? I'm a lazy.

SPEAKER_03 22:26

I don't know how to use mayo and artichoke.

SPEAKER_00 22:28

No, you don't.

SPEAKER_03 22:29

You mean to spread it over top?

SPEAKER_00 22:31

You're going way too far with this.

SPEAKER_03 22:33

Okay?

SPEAKER_00 22:34

I feel like you're too heavily invested in artichokes and butter. You need to pull yourself back.

SPEAKER_03 22:39

You're going to dip your your crab in mayo too.

SPEAKER_00 22:43

Don't you tempt me. Gross. Put some soy sauce on it, some mayo, a little bit of peanut butter.

SPEAKER_03 22:50

Yuck. No, not doing that. Alright, next is ice cream and popcorn.

SPEAKER_00 22:57

I don't like, I mean, I'm not sure how I'm not sure how you're eating it. I'm imagining you're putting popcorn like in or on the ice cream.

SPEAKER_03 23:04

And now it's like soggy. Yeah. Even if you do it on the spoon and you put like two kernels on your spoon that already has ice cream on it, it's gotta be soggy by the time it gets to your mouth, that bottom part.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

And this is like there's so much work. Like, I mean, I guess this is like my two hands move all the time, so I guess it's not really that much work. But it's like I'm gonna eat a spoonful of ice cream, and now I gotta like like dainty I don't know, like prepare the ice cream.

SPEAKER_03 23:31

That's funny. Also, I don't ever remember going to the pharmacy at that store.

SPEAKER_00 23:35

You did?

SPEAKER_03 23:37

No memory of it.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

It's because I saw you outside of your work clothes. That was the first time I saw you, I think, outside your work clothes. Because like you worked at the like I I don't have like a distinct memory before then, but I know that like I'd seen you or whatever, right? Before that, like walking to or from or being behind the counter. Whatnot? Yeah. So it was like the first time I saw you like in your native element.

SPEAKER_03 24:09

And then you were like, Oh, she looks better not dressed up.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

It's like dang's up, girl. How you doing? And I think you were wearing like some sort of boots or heels or something. Or no, maybe mostly just did that at work. So I always thought you were taller than you were. Like just every day you slapped on your I'm gonna lie to the world shoes. Came to work, tricked us all.

SPEAKER_03 24:34

Some knee high boots. That's some big kills.

SPEAKER_00 24:38

Yep. Made you like 5'6, 5'7 or something.

SPEAKER_03 24:41

Yep, sorry. Not that tall. Alright, next is ketchup and ranch dressing.

SPEAKER_00 24:50

It almost seems like fry sauce. Right. So maybe.

SPEAKER_03 24:54

So I love fry sauce, but I don't love the sound of this. I don't know. I've actually moved on to burger sauce recently.

SPEAKER_00 25:02

Burger sauce. That's just made up.

SPEAKER_03 25:03

Giving up the fry sauce for burger sauce and dipping my tater tats and fries and burger sauce.

SPEAKER_00 25:09

It's called burger sauce.

SPEAKER_03 25:10

It's better.

SPEAKER_00 25:11

You can dip your burger in it.

SPEAKER_03 25:12

I did. When we had hamburgers last week, I did, and it was amazing. Kevin didn't have any with his hamburger, but but it was so good. Had onions and mushrooms and my burger sauce, and it was great.

SPEAKER_00 25:26

Burger sauce just sounds made up.

SPEAKER_03 25:28

It is. I did make it up.

SPEAKER_00 25:29

Doesn't sound like a real thing.

SPEAKER_03 25:30

Well, no. Other people use it, but anyways. Next. Zucchini and cinnamon. Nope. 100% no. Zucchini is good with butter, salt, pepper, garlic, and parmesan cheese on top. In a cake too. Or bread. But zucchini bites.

SPEAKER_00 25:57

And now people are gonna think that you're putting zucchini spears.

SPEAKER_03 26:03

So just zucchini as a side is only good with butter, salt, pepper, garlic, and parmesan cheese. But other types of zucchini is shredded into a cake or into bread. Right. Yeah. But I see no other way to eat zucchini besides those anyways.

SPEAKER_00 26:22

Right. Yep. I agree.

SPEAKER_03 26:24

Alright, next.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

Next.

SPEAKER_03 26:25

Sriracha. Ooh, I like sriracha. Peanut butter.

SPEAKER_00 26:29

People. So unimaginative.

SPEAKER_03 26:31

You should just guess peanut butter for all.

SPEAKER_00 26:33

For all of everything. People just running around with tubs of peanut butter, putting it on things, tasting it. I'm disappointed.

SPEAKER_03 26:40

Next is cottage cheese and potato chips.

SPEAKER_00 26:43

I've heard of this. Like people like dipping it in on like the sour cream dips.

SPEAKER_03 26:47

I feel like someone at the IRS did this, and I was like, nah, I can't do that.

SPEAKER_00 26:52

Yeah, I think it'd be fine.

SPEAKER_03 26:53

Nah. Next one. Blueberries and steak. You put this on your steak salad, Kevin. I'm not a blueberry fan, so.

SPEAKER_00 27:03

Yeah, that's true. You're not. I like blueberries quite a bit. And I I'm sure I've done this. Because I I will do like steak salads often, right? Like lay down a base of lettuce, different salads. And then I'll put all sorts of things on it. Pumpkin seeds, the what are the like it's like the bag that has all the different little like hemp seeds and different things in it. Balsama vinaigrette, green olives. Yeah, all sorts of stuff.

SPEAKER_03 27:31

Yeah, you do lots of stuff.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

There was in this when we were in Texas and we went down to what was like the beach town that we went to. Do you remember? Um Port? Is that what it was?

SPEAKER_03 27:44

Port.

SPEAKER_00 27:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:45

No, we would go to the ports though.

SPEAKER_00 27:47

So like we went down there, I think it was when your dad came down. We went down there and we stopped at like one of the little shops, right? There's like that little that little town that we would go to, right? There's like a little burger shop. We went there and it was the burger I had was had like a slice of cream cheese on it and like jalapeno jelly. And that was one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. Also could have been that we spent an entire day at the beach and then I was starving when we got to that place. But like on a burger, like you bring you a burger and you have like cream cheese. Because it wasn't like super thin, but it also wasn't like a block of cream cheese. It was like a I don't know, eighth of an inch, quarter of an inch like slice. How many millimeters is that for people not in America?

SPEAKER_02 28:32

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 28:33

What would that be?

SPEAKER_02 28:34

I definitely don't know that.

SPEAKER_00 28:36

I guess not, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:37

Not a converter. You know, I do like uh the wild blueberries, those are good. Yeah, the littler ones. Yeah, the tiny ones. They have they actually have a good flavor.

SPEAKER_00 28:47

Yeah. I don't like the ones that you buy at like Costco and different stuff, like that you bring them in. I usually will pick through those. All all the ones that are like kind of big usually are not. I don't like them. Like I like the ones that are a little bit smaller and almost have like a little bit of like a hint of green on them still. So it's got some crunch and like the other ones just kind of tastes mushy and like overripe.

SPEAKER_03 29:10

The frozen ones?

SPEAKER_00 29:12

No, the like the one those ones that you buy. So the frozen ones always just end up in a smoothie, so you don't really buttons.

SPEAKER_03 29:20

You can smell that they have more flavor than just regular blueberries.

SPEAKER_00 29:25

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 29:25

Yeah, I don't I don't care for regular blueberries.

SPEAKER_00 29:28

Yeah, you for me, typically the bigger the blueberry, the less I'm going to like it.

SPEAKER_03 29:33

Yeah. I think they all taste like that. Alright, next is Kevin's favorite peanut butter. Peanut butter and ramen.

SPEAKER_00 29:43

Do you what? Okay. Are you cooking it or are they eating it dry and hard, but with peanut butter?

SPEAKER_03 29:49

I think they're cooking it.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

So then is the peanut butter, I mean I guess this could be like the what the Thai peanut sauce?

SPEAKER_03 29:55

Yeah. Ki yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

But you just putting in like what, like a tablespoon or two of peanut butter into ramen on the side?

SPEAKER_02 30:02

Yeah, cooked ramen.

SPEAKER_00 30:02

Yeah, now that's actually this is gonna this is almost like Masaman curry or something, or like a peanut curry. Dump some sriracha in there. Okay, I'm on board. I changed my mind.

SPEAKER_03 30:14

July 23rd is National Lemon, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Gorgeous Grandma Day.

SPEAKER_00 30:21

Oh, gorgeous grandma. All you gorgeous grandmas out there.

SPEAKER_03 30:26

Mm-hmm. July 23rd is your day.

SPEAKER_00 30:29

It like the whole idea of grandmas is fun, funny to me. Why? We'll just like you know, I'm on like the young end of like the family? Yeah, the cousins and all that stuff, right? So like when I think of grandma and grandpa, like they're old. Right. But like my older siblings, and then even cousins that were older than that, like grandma and grandpa were only like forty-five years old when they were born. Like they they knew a 50-year-old grandma and grandpa.

SPEAKER_01 31:03

Right.

SPEAKER_00 31:04

Right? Like, so just like the idea of grandma and grandpa, I always think like, you know, the golden girls or something. Right. But I don't even know how old were the golden girls. Because Betty White seemed like she's been around till just like five years ago or something.

SPEAKER_03 31:18

Yeah, she was almost a hundred.

SPEAKER_00 31:19

Oh, okay. But when was the golden girls? We've gone way off topic.

SPEAKER_01 31:23

Yep, we sure have.

SPEAKER_00 31:25

Wasn't that show in like the eighties? And so like they were grandmas back then, but I think they were only like fifty years old or something, right? Maybe that'd be like sixty.

SPEAKER_03 31:34

Eighty-five to ninety-two. So, like the one lady has brown hair, but I mean you can obviously dye it because everyone does that. Their real life ages ranged from 51 to 63.

SPEAKER_00 31:47

Yeah, right. Like, I mean, they're they weren't that old.

SPEAKER_03 31:49

They were written to be anywhere from 53 to 80.

SPEAKER_00 31:53

Hmm. Like the oldest one? Blanche? I don't know the name.

SPEAKER_03 31:57

No, Blanche is the brown haired one. Oh. But the w she was only 63 and she was being portrayed as 80.

SPEAKER_00 32:03

Katie.

SPEAKER_03 32:05

That's a that's a rough one. Okay, back to this. Alright. Pickles and ice cream.

SPEAKER_01 32:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:13

Next one you might like. Okay. Hot chocolate and cayenne pepper. Hmm.

SPEAKER_00 32:17

May yeah, maybe. Because I do there was something was like spicy chocolate. And I think it was like what maybe like Lindor's or there's another company that makes like those chocolate bars that have like the different things. And I think one was like cayenne. Had like just a little bit of cayenne pepper. So like it was chocolate, and then like this just a little bit of heat. That was pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 32:40

Well, yes, you do like it. Alright, next one is frying chicken in Coke. Coca-Cola. I don't I don't think I would like that.

SPEAKER_00 32:50

How how do you fry it in Coca-Cola?

SPEAKER_03 32:52

I don't know, instead of like a milk base, like when you dip it, you do it in Coke. Or if it's like soaked before in like Coke instead of milk. But just seems like milk helps keep it like moist. I don't know that Coke would do that. Or if like it's poured in I don't know. Let me see.

SPEAKER_00 33:10

Seems like the Coke would partially digest it. Right? Isn't Coke terrible don't they use Coke to like clean toilets and blood stains on the pavement?

SPEAKER_03 33:21

Blood stains on a pavement.

SPEAKER_00 33:23

I'm pretty sure that's what they did when uh like my CSI classes talking about stuff. Like yeah, they like they pour open up coke, pour it on once they like are done.

SPEAKER_03 33:33

Yeah, I think my dad said like drinking a bunch of coke if you have like a kidney stone or something. I guess it'll dissolve it. Yeah, I think you have to drink like a lot in a short amount of time. I don't know if I could do that. So it is used as a tenderizing brine before frying. Right.

SPEAKER_00 33:52

So that's basically what I'm saying. Like it's like breaking down. Yeah. It's dissolving the meat.

SPEAKER_03 33:59

Yuck. Anyways. Next cottage cheese and mustard.

SPEAKER_00 34:03

Huh. That actually went a different direction. I like mustard.

SPEAKER_03 34:08

I don't.

SPEAKER_00 34:09

I don't think I would like it.

SPEAKER_03 34:11

Nope. I got three more.

SPEAKER_00 34:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 34:13

Peanut butter. And bacon.

SPEAKER_00 34:15

Well, yeah, that's fine. Sounds great. Would you just throw a banana in there while you're at it?

SPEAKER_03 34:22

Next one is ice cream and black pepper.

SPEAKER_00 34:25

What? So vanilla ice cream? Is that almost like the was it like the French vanilla? Vanilla bean? Is that what they maybe it's not black pepper, but it has little black things in it. Is that just vanilla bean? That's like not fully ground up.

SPEAKER_03 34:41

Yeah, it's like the vanilla bean, but black pepper would have a totally different and the last one's kind of dumb, so I won't do that one.

SPEAKER_00 34:47

Hmm. No, it's all I want to know and think about.

SPEAKER_03 34:50

What's dumb? Egg whites and ketchup. Like, meh, that's normal.

SPEAKER_00 34:54

Yeah, I've had ketchup on eggs since I was a little kid.

SPEAKER_03 34:58

I tell our kids, Mike, you don't need ketchup. I put eggs and garlic and salt and pepper, Mike, and cheese and cheese curds. I'm like, your eggs taste fine. They taste amazing.

SPEAKER_00 35:09

That's just kids, don't rude. Didn't you make like a ketchup sandwich or something when you were little? No. Someone did. Someone in your family did.

SPEAKER_03 35:16

It's not me.

SPEAKER_00 35:16

Well, it's my family.

SPEAKER_03 35:18

I try to tell the kids. They always try to put ketchup on their steak. I'm like, just try it.

SPEAKER_00 35:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:23

It's such a smoked it for hours. Like, it has good flavor. You don't need ketchup. All you taste is ketchup.

SPEAKER_00 35:30

Ketchup is like such a little kid condiment.

SPEAKER_03 35:33

Yeah. Alright. Whether you love trying new foods or prefer to stick to the classics, these quirky American food combinations show that taste is personal. Sometimes the strangest pairings are the ones you remember most. Next time you feel adventurous, try one of these unusual duos. You might find a new favorite flavor.

SPEAKER_00 35:53

I'm gonna try pickles and vanilla ice cream.

SPEAKER_03 35:55

Okay, let us know how it goes next time.

SPEAKER_00 35:57

I will.

SPEAKER_03 35:58

Okay. Kevin, would you rather?

SPEAKER_00 36:00

You love these. I do. You such a would you rather girl?

SPEAKER_03 36:04

Would you rather speak any language or be able to communicate with animals?

SPEAKER_00 36:09

Oh, this is maybe the best would you rather you've ever asked me.

SPEAKER_03 36:13

I'd rather communicate with animals.

SPEAKER_00 36:15

I think I also would go that one, but only because no one else can do it.

SPEAKER_03 36:19

I want to know what they know. Can they talk to each other?

SPEAKER_00 36:22

Well, what if it's like the dog on up and it's just like there's a bunch of dumb, dumb stuff. Then would it feel like such a waste? Like if every dog was basically the dog from up and giraffes were Ross from Friends.

SPEAKER_03 36:39

Isn't he the giraffe?

SPEAKER_00 36:41

Uh huh. Yeah, and uh whatever those the Africa what are those movies?

SPEAKER_03 36:47

Yeah, right. Alright, do you want to talk to zebras and that's all they say to you? Penguins of Madagascar. No.

SPEAKER_00 36:53

So it's just Madagascar then?

SPEAKER_03 36:54

Yeah, Madagascar. Okay. Anything else from you?

SPEAKER_00 36:57

Wait. Is it only earthbound languages? Can I speak alien?

SPEAKER_03 37:01

It said any language.

SPEAKER_00 37:03

Okay, I changed my answer.

SPEAKER_03 37:04

Any language alien?

SPEAKER_00 37:06

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 37:06

I still choose animals. Alright. Remember, even a small act of kindness can be someone's beacon in their darkest moment. Choose kindness every day. Reach out to someone today. You have the power to change a life. Be the signal of hope this world needs.

SPEAKER_00 37:20

Just in case there's any aliens listening and you need someone to abduct. I'm down for a ride. No, he's not. Well, they bring most of them back.

SPEAKER_03 37:28

What if you're the one they don't? We have kids, and what if it alters you? Makes you crazy.

SPEAKER_00 37:33

Alters me. Makes you crazy. You can't alter this. Look at this. How come this?

SPEAKER_03 37:37

Look at this so strong man. What if they perform a lobotomy and now you're crazy?

SPEAKER_00 37:43

What if they give me the ability to speak to animals?

SPEAKER_03 37:46

What if they make you crazy? He doesn't volunteer for things. Now he doesn't.

SPEAKER_00 37:50

She doesn't speak for me.

SPEAKER_03 37:51

Yes, I do.

SPEAKER_00 37:52

I'm going for a ride in space.
