SPEAKER_01 1:16

Yeah, you're the cook, I'm the cleaner. It's true.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

No, they don't. Farcia, like she loves to talk about it. Also, okay, wait.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

We have to explain, we have to explain Farcia.

SPEAKER_00 1:25

We will explain Farcia. Okay, we'll explain Farcia and we'll explain the voice behind everything. How about that? Okay. We don't have any notes, no iPad today. No iPad. But we don't know what to talk about today. So I am anybody, a lot of people that listen to the show that know me, I am a master shit talker. Like I could talk shit with the best of them. Caroline likes to talk shit, but she doesn't like to take it back.

SPEAKER_01 1:46

Well, because here's the thing you go too low.

SPEAKER_00 1:48

That's uh that's the art of shit talking.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

No, you go way too low. So I say something like a little silly and fun.

SPEAKER_00 1:53

No, it's yeah, like you just said I cleaned up the inside of a that was silly and fun.

SPEAKER_01 1:58

That would be bad.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

I could have really that's a top ropes.

SPEAKER_01 2:01

No, I no, okay, here's the thing. You would be like, I would be like, oh ha, you like clean the inside of a Cheeto bag, and then you would be like, Well, guess what? You're so heavy, you can only get weight at the zoo. Like, you would say something like that.

SPEAKER_00 2:11

That's such a bad thing. I wouldn't have said that. That's bad.

SPEAKER_01 2:13

Okay, what would you say?

SPEAKER_00 2:14

No, I'm not gonna say it because Yeah, I don't want to hear it. Just because you say it sweet doesn't mean it's not hard.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

No, and then you say something. No, and then you say something so gnarly that I'm like, and my hair gets like flies back because it can't believe how crazy it is.

SPEAKER_00 2:29

I grew up in a locker room. I could talk shit with it.

SPEAKER_01 2:31

That's fine. I'm not in a locker room.

SPEAKER_00 2:32

Yeah, but you like to talk shit, you like to act like you're in a locker room.

SPEAKER_01 2:35

No, but then when it comes on you, no, please don't say nothing.

SPEAKER_00 2:38

That's better what you are.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

No, I just think that you need to know the line. I think that there's obviously There's no line in shit talking.

SPEAKER_00 2:44

No, no, no. You just can't talk about people's moms or family. No, I can't talk about family.

SPEAKER_01 2:49

Okay, here's a locker room line. It doesn't really exist, right? There's a life. There's still a line there. There's a there's a line in wife.

SPEAKER_00 2:55

Yeah, but if your wife wants to talk shit, you better believe I'm gonna talk shit back to you.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

Okay, anyway, so the the uh nickname fartsia comes from Eddie's last name. I guess mine is too, Garcia. That's right, right? And uh basically when Eddie, Eddie farts a lot. There's no other way to describe it. He just farts a lot, and so I started being like, geez Louise, like you're like not Garcia, you're fartsia. And then everything I would like if when he's angry, did we already explain this? When he's angry, I call him Grumpcia because he's like grumpy.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

We haven't talked about that.

SPEAKER_01 3:23

So I just put everything in front of Sia, but now it's you. Well, then you started calling me it back because you fart a lot. No, you tried, you tried, and it just didn't work. You tried fart line, I didn't like Caroline Fart line that didn't take.

SPEAKER_00 3:37

I do call you just fart, just fart. I think it's more, I don't even think it's like a You don't even think about it now. No, I just call you Fart, yeah. So let's talk about that voice. So everyone has we were in Africa, and obviously the animals, and that voice comes from one specific.

SPEAKER_01 3:50

No, okay, so here's what he's talking about. We went on Safari, and when I would do videos of the animals, I would do like a mocking voice, like it's always like a lisp. I can't even do it on command. It's like, oh yeah, okay. Here I am. My name is Alma Joaf, and I love I love sitting young to Safali. I would do that, and everyone's like, I love the voice, I love the voice. Where Eddie gets in there, he comments on one of the TikTok.

SPEAKER_00 4:14

I did come up with this, by the way.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

No, you commented on one of the I didn't even know you were awake at this point. I just like look at my TikTok and I'm like, oh, look at everyone's like enjoying the voice. They think I'm funny, haha. All of a sudden I see Eddie Garcia. I actually came up with that.

SPEAKER_00 4:25

I did.

SPEAKER_01 4:26

I was like, geez Louise, Eddie, jealous match?

SPEAKER_00 4:29

I did come up with it. I don't know if you did. You just gotta give their flowers for their flowers or a gift. You don't like to admit things. That's another thing that Fartia is not gonna do.

SPEAKER_01 4:36

There's gonna be called couples therapy.

SPEAKER_00 4:39

But it honestly comes from Gusle. So Gusser is our one of our dogs. This is Zoe. I think she's in the frame right now. Um, Zoe doesn't have a voice. Gusle does have a voice, and uh, she's staring through my soul. I think do you think she needs to poop? She probably wants to you want to go on a long walk? We're gonna walk after this show.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

We'll go on after the podcast.

SPEAKER_00 4:56

Is that okay with you? That's Zoe. I'm I'm just we're gonna deal with my dog. Um she's stretching out.

SPEAKER_01 5:01

But then, but then Gus, Gus is like, he's so like Gus, I rescued Gus from Korea. So they there's this like a dog rescue in Long Beach called Camp Cocker, and they have Cocker Spaniels. And I guess that they were like they were like partners with I think some of Arden. No, but they they were like partners with somebody in Korea, and they found like 18 of these like abandoned dogs, Cocker Spaniels, in this Korea warehouse, and one of them was Gus. So I adopted Gus through that. And Gus is such a lover, but he like doesn't have his vocal cords were cut, and he's like can't get potty training, and he's kind of like pathetic in a way.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

No, he's not. Don't call him that.

SPEAKER_01 5:45

No, but what but what I mean is that he's so loving, like he's so loving and so soft, even though like he has clearly been like hurt his whole life.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

Even sometimes you go to pet him, he doesn't like to be pet, you know?

SPEAKER_01 5:56

Yeah, he's a little nervous, but he's just like a big lover, and so we always use this voice we're like, oh my name is Gospel. I came over from Koya, and I love it here. And and like he's always just like assumes the best, like that's his like personality in our head that he's like, Okay, so it's Lee. I know my teeth are falling out, but they're probably in Koeah, they cut my vocal codes for a reason. They did it on purpose because they would only do something that was good for me. Yeah, like that's his vibe.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

But the voice comes from Gus. That's what the bottom line is from all this. So the voice comes from Gus. Um, we do have some qu I have some questions to ask our audience.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

So we're gonna flip the script a little bit. Well so so it's funny, right?

SPEAKER_01 6:35

They don't answer us because remember, we asked about Club Garcia and no one answered.

SPEAKER_00 6:39

Oh, they didn't?

SPEAKER_01 6:41

No, no one told me anything. But then I posted TikTok the other day and someone commented and was like, Where are you on the podcast? We miss you. And I'm like, Oh, we have listeners, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 6:49

No, we for sure have listeners because I get emailed every week, like a weekly weekly report on it. And uh we get we have quite a few actually. But then we asked some questions and more people listen to us than I think should, but it's awesome. And uh, but I have a question. Okay, and it's not a question from like I don't want to sound selfish though, because oh we've talked about this, right? Like gift gift giving at a wedding, right?

SPEAKER_01 7:12

Oh, geez, Louise.

SPEAKER_00 7:14

So you guys are gonna see Eddie's greedy side. No, it's not my greedy side, but I'm so I'm the type of person that forgets. Like I forget a lot of things. I think that's a one of the best parts of being married is like you have like another partner to kind of be like, hey, do this, do this, do you think to carry the mental load?

SPEAKER_01 7:29

Not the mental load. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_00 7:31

Not the mental load, but like if it wasn't for you certain things, I wouldn't RSVP, like I'd be hard to RSVP for now that I know what it takes from behind the scenes of like running a wedding, you know, I think I would RSVP right away. Yeah, that's one thing. But my like sometimes you forget to like, you know, give them a present or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 7:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:49

And my question is when is it too late? Not that we're asking people for presents, we're not asking for people for presents, but I know it's been like my parents aren't afraid to tell people, like, hey, you forgot to give them a gift, or my your mom isn't afraid to tell somebody, hey, by the way, did you give them a gift? I I don't know, right?

SPEAKER_01 8:08

Well, I think it depends on the person. I also think a lot of people uh traveled all that way for us, so maybe they think their presence is a gift, and I think that that's fine.

SPEAKER_00 8:18

Oh, 100%.

SPEAKER_01 8:19

And and I don't want to. I'm just opening the discussion. I'm just making this a forum. I'm just gonna So we have like what, like 30 people who didn't give us a gift, right? And as we've been going through, because I just bought all these thank you notes, in fact, that we have to get going on. We're like, oh, these people didn't give us a gift, and some of them are a little surprising. It's like, oh, that's someone that we would think would give us a gift, and then it's been this conversation because Eddie is like, Oh, I'm gonna go on white now and don't have to be.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

I don't I'm not gonna do that. My I that's like that's like something you pass along.

SPEAKER_01 8:46

But then I'm like, I'm like, it's literally, we were at dinner last night with the Garcias, and you guys are like, read the list, read the list of who didn't give a gift. And I'm like, no, like I think we're just done here. I think it's like send the thank you cards and we're done.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

But that's also like my family is like that, but your mom said the same thing. Your mom said, tell me which one am I?

SPEAKER_01 9:05

Oh, my mom is like, give me the list and I'll cunt them down.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

That's what I think. That's what I think. So that's why I think it's like I don't want to say they almost take it personally, because like if it's their side of the family, they're like, oh, who is that? Like, or if it's my sister, my brother, you know, etc. Same thing with your mom. It's like, is it my friend? Is it like a girlfriend of mine? Like, you know, is it an aunt, whatever, you know? Yeah. Um, so I think it's easier for them to make have that conversation than for us to have that conversation. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_01 9:31

100%.

SPEAKER_00 9:32

But I think I I'm what I'm saying is I think people forget.

SPEAKER_01 9:35

Like, I think that's true. Well, I also think about like this is not the same thing, but like our friend Annie, remember for the bridal shower, we sent her a uh an invite and she never responded, never said anything.

SPEAKER_00 9:48

And mind you, she's like a grade school teacher, like most on top of it, most they probably the nicest person we nicest human alive. Yeah, one of the nicest humans alive.

SPEAKER_01 9:57

And we didn't hear from her and she didn't show up.

SPEAKER_00 9:59

And we and you like brought it up.

SPEAKER_01 10:00

You're like, this is so surprising. I was like, it's so weird that Annie didn't even say anything or didn't come, but I also didn't want to be like reach out to her and be like, hey, what's your deal? Like, why didn't you come? Or like why didn't you even say you couldn't come? Anyways, turns out it got sent to the wrong email. And Annie, I guess, saw the photos of the bridal shower and felt like left out. Like she was like, Oh, I thought we were like pretty close. Like, I'm Did she tell you that? Yes. Oh, really? She said that she told Reuben, like, I was at her birthday. Like, I'm surprised that like she didn't invite me to a bridal shower. And I was like, Annie! And so we had this like weird standoff where like neither of us were saying anything to each other because we didn't want to be rude. And then when we finally figured it out.

SPEAKER_00 10:39

Yeah, I had something like that with Yanni, my good friend. Remember, she was like, didn't know if she was invited to the wedding. Yeah, Yanni's also got like 10,000 things going on this going on at the same time. Right. I swore I had texted her about it, and then we have friends like that are just on top of it. You did you sit a suit shop? This is another promo for suit shop. Yeah, you just did another uh you said a video for them. I had some buddies, like my buddy Harrison, he's on top of it. Yeah, like he's one of those guys. If you send him a wedding invitation, he's gonna book his hotel, he's gonna send you a gift, and then he's gonna ask you, like, hey, what's the dress code? And also, do I need to bring a fork or a spoon to eat? Like, it's gonna be like that's a place at valet parking. Like, you know what? Very on top of it.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

I am too. And so, like, my friend Natasha, sorry to call you out, Natasha, she doesn't listen, but um, we got an invitation for her wedding, and I just I was like, okay, RSVP, yes, I booked our hotel, and then I wanted to get a gift, and you go to her registry and it says, not up yet, coming soon. And I was like, Oh my gosh, because if I don't do it immediately, I might forget.

SPEAKER_00 11:36

You see, and I'm the type of person that'll like, I'll read the text, I'll scan the invitation, won't do anything, and then eventually get back to it, and then it'd be like, Hey, by the way, are you coming to the wedding? Oh, fuck yeah. Like, I'm definitely planning on giving you know what I mean? Yeah, so I get that. People maybe forget, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

But the gift thing, it's so weird because especially because our wedding was semi-destination. I never want someone to think that we're like, hey, I know that you spent a lot of money to come to Palm Springs. Do you also want to get us a gift? Right.

SPEAKER_00 12:06

But also, when is it too late to give a gift?

SPEAKER_01 12:09

My mom said she said that like she read somewhere it was like, either six months or a year they have to give a gift. We got a gift last night. We got ice cream.

SPEAKER_00 12:20

Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

That was really we went to Salt and Straw, and this girl was wearing like a Portland shirt, and Eddie was like, Are you from Portland? She was like, Yeah, she was like, Oh, I'm from Happy Valley. I was like, Oh my god, I'm from Beaverton. What brought you to LA? And she goes, Oh, I'm going to school at LMU, which is where I went to school. And then your mom said, They just got married.

SPEAKER_00 12:37

And then I think my mom will tell everybody we just got married for the next five years.

SPEAKER_01 12:41

100%. And then, and then when we went to go check out, they were like, We're compying it, we're compying your ice cream. And also, your mom said, She's famous about me. Are you no? I was like, I'm not famous, don't think that.

SPEAKER_00 12:54

But it was like she was really shy, she didn't really want the attention, I felt like.

SPEAKER_01 12:58

But she still gave us really nice free ice cream, and salt and straw's expensive.

SPEAKER_00 13:01

Yeah, hopefully corporate doesn't hear this, but that was really nice.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

No, I think it corporate should hear it because we loved it, and she did great customer service.

SPEAKER_00 13:08

Great customer service, yeah. Um, you guys, you know, some quick little thing about Salt and Straw. I always pop in there like once a year or something like that to see their prices because I move as they move.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Do you? Yeah, I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_00 13:21

Yeah. I move I think they're pretty fairly priced because I think they're like I didn't even look last night. Whenever my it's so funny, whenever my dad goes anywhere with us, I don't even look at prices or look at menus or because I got my guy. It's like all inclusive when your dad comes.

SPEAKER_01 13:35

Oh geez.

SPEAKER_00 13:36

Um, but I think they're about six and seven.

SPEAKER_01 13:39

I think it was six fifty for a year.

SPEAKER_00 13:41

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, and then I think uh their cone, they actually make their waffle cones it's like a dollar fifty, a dollar seventy-five, which is kind of on par. I charge a dollar, but I try that's where I look at my prices.

SPEAKER_01 13:52

That's interesting.

SPEAKER_00 13:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:54

Little insight. Oh, that leads us perfectly into our first question.

SPEAKER_00 13:59

Wow. Are you ready?

SPEAKER_01 14:00

It's like you planned it. Question for the pod. Okay, are you ready? Yeah. Hello, Garcias from across the concrete walkway.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

What is that?

SPEAKER_01 14:10

It's Maddie.

SPEAKER_00 14:12

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 14:12

Hope you have a fabulous honeymoon and sorry again for not being able to make it to the wedding. Uh, newborns, am I right? Hope you guys don't hear him crying too much. Regardless, it looked amazing. Side note, we don't hear him crying at all. Do you?

SPEAKER_00 14:23

I've heard him, you know, he's woke me up twice now.

SPEAKER_01 14:25

No, that's twice. I don't hear him crying at all.

SPEAKER_00 14:29

He's a good baby.

SPEAKER_01 14:30

He's a great baby.

SPEAKER_00 14:31

I don't yeah, I don't even think I've no, I haven't heard him one time.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

She could have been lying this whole time about having a baby.

SPEAKER_00 14:37

100%. I have seen him. She just doesn't want to go to her, she just didn't want to go to our wedding. No, no, I think.

SPEAKER_01 14:44

And I just like met a cabbage patch call.

SPEAKER_00 14:46

No, but I I actually did see he perks he parked beside me the other day and he did have a car seat in the back of the street.

SPEAKER_01 14:52

Oh, wow, so it is real. Or they just really committed to the bit.

SPEAKER_00 14:55

And they put like diapers in there and were like, oh, I guess he's no, okay. No, but he's a good baby. I don't think I've heard what was his name again. We probably shouldn't say it.

SPEAKER_01 15:04

We should not say it.

SPEAKER_00 15:05

Yeah, but but it's a beautiful baby. I met, I think I saw him one time.

SPEAKER_01 15:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:08

I've seen him once. No, but I have not heard him.

SPEAKER_01 15:10

Okay, are you ready for the question?

SPEAKER_00 15:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

By the way, Maddie, our neighbor, has a baby. Also, crazy for people who don't know. I came here for an open house, and I came in to go see this house to see if I wanted to buy it, which obviously I ended up doing. And literally, while I was at the open house, I watched Maddie, my friend from college, like walk into her place. And I knew that she, she and her husband, well, boyfriend at the time, I think, had bought a townhouse in Mar Vista, but I didn't really like I literally Oh, you didn't know.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

Oh, they were they were here before you.

SPEAKER_01 15:42

Yeah, but I knew I had hung out with her and she said, I bought a townhouse in Mar Vista. And I was like, Oh my god, she's like, Yeah, you should come see it. I was like, Great. And then I never saw it. And then I came here for an open house, and there was Maddie. I was like, Oh my god, I guess this is a townhouse in Mar Vista.

SPEAKER_00 15:54

Yeah, but I mean Mar Vista's kind of yeah, no, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyways, we're great neighbors.

SPEAKER_01 15:59

Okay. Maddie says, My question is actually for Eddie. She says, sorry, Carolyn, but I already know you. How did you get into the ice cream business? And do you have any new flavors in the works that you're excited about?

SPEAKER_00 16:11

So, how did I get in the ice cream business? That's always a good question. So I was a broadcast journalism major, and when I was coming out of college, um, right when I was like really getting into it, the pandemic hit. Like I was doing the whole the hiring process was tough.

SPEAKER_01 16:27

I was like called COVID-19.

SPEAKER_00 16:29

A little COVID-19. So I was I was kind of, you know, broadcast radio is tough. You gotta work your way from the bottom to the top. It's very um like most industries. Like most industries, right? So I was gonna be a board operator, um, and it was like tough to do get that. Like it was a tough, like it's tough to get in the radio industry, like it's probably just in LA, but like just to get in the door. Of course. And I remember finally getting a chance, and uh it was a small, small, um small station in Santa Monica, and I was gonna do the board operator, and I remember going in there, getting the job, and then the next week COVID-19 happened. And what does that mean, right? What what what do you think what do you think happens, right? I was the first guy, I was the last guy they hired, and the first guy they fired. So that happened.

SPEAKER_01 17:17

They said Eddie Garcia.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

Yes, then I thought my dreams of being in the Did they actually fire you?

SPEAKER_01 17:22

Like, did they come in and just say you're fired?

SPEAKER_00 17:24

No, I didn't even go, I didn't even have a first date. Like, I was getting ready to fix it. I didn't even know that.

SPEAKER_01 17:27

You didn't even have a first date.

SPEAKER_00 17:28

No, no, I was getting ready to like display. No, we're gonna be. We were like talking about like start dates. We were starting to do that. I didn't even know that.

SPEAKER_01 17:33

And so what they just like you was like, actually, never mind.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

Actually, never mind. Yeah, like delete did you cry? I didn't cry, but it was tough, you know. It was COVID, it was that's when I that's when I figured COVID was real.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

Oh you sound like such a thing.

SPEAKER_00 17:44

No, no, no, but I was like, oh shit, this is like for the long haul. Yeah, you know, at that because you know, those first couple days, people were like, Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 17:51

I remember when my girlfriends were like, they're saying it's gonna go all the way through April, yeah, or it might be two weeks, or it might be one week.

SPEAKER_00 17:56

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I remember getting that email, and they're like, We don't know like the future, like we don't know. And I was like, Oh man, this is probably this is gonna be a big thing. Yeah, you know. Um, so so that ended up happening, and then I remember my dad being like, All right, so what's next, right? And I was like, Well, I want to get back in radio, like I'll just wait, you know? And he's like, No, no, no, we gotta go. And so, what were you doing?

SPEAKER_01 18:15

You're just sitting at home.

SPEAKER_00 18:16

Well, I think we were all just sitting at home.

SPEAKER_01 18:18

I guess so. Yeah, but like you didn't have anything.

SPEAKER_00 18:20

I didn't have I didn't have anything. I mean, I was a broadcaster, but that's what I wanted to do, like sports radio.

SPEAKER_01 18:25

So it didn't take a while to get that first job.

SPEAKER_00 18:26

It did, it did. I was I remember I I'll never forget this. God, I had an interview at Fox Sports, I'll never forget this. And it was the worst interview in my entire life. I remember I walked into Fox Studios and I saw Colin Coward, who's the guy who I like, he's like the go, right? I listened to Pat McAfee and Colin Coward, those are the two guys I listened to. And I remember seeing him and I got so nervous. It was, I was kind of interviewing for almost like my dream job a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 18:50

And um Do you think you were underqualified for it?

SPEAKER_00 18:53

Not at all. Oh I was just so nervous I couldn't talk.

SPEAKER_01 18:55

I see.

SPEAKER_00 18:56

And for me to not be able to talk, that is like I've never never met that.

SPEAKER_01 18:59

I've never met that.

SPEAKER_00 19:00

I was like shaking. They gave me like a sheet of like people to fill out. I remember like they're like, Oh, how good do you know sports? And I was filling it out, and I named them, but I was probably I was like, I was like writing like this, like it was unreal. I was so nervous. I totally had a it would the interview was so bad. I interviewed the guy, uh I emailed the guy a week later. I was like, I am so sorry about that interview. Can I re-interview like in a week? But in that industry, you can't do that.

SPEAKER_01 19:25

Like, did he did he say yeah, it was bad?

SPEAKER_00 19:27

No, he never said it was bad, but I know it was bad. Like I knew, like coming out of that, I was just so nervous. Yeah, uh, I wasn't myself, right?

SPEAKER_01 19:34

Totally, but anyway, kind of like on our first date.

SPEAKER_00 19:36

No, um so then anyway, I so that didn't work out anything. Um, and my dad was like, What do we do next? And I thought, fuck it, let's I was actually dating a girl from uh somewhere in the Midwest, and I had thought of this idea of ice cream, and I was like, Oh my god, I went and tried this ice cream, and I said, if I ever started my own business, this is what I want to do, because they don't have it in LA, it's kind of a niche thing, and long story short, it was that time. What are we gonna do? And I thought about that idea, and I was like, I'm gonna bring that and I'm gonna put it in a truck, and I'm gonna do it in LA. And then long here we are, three years, four years later. Um, we are flavors by Ed in a truck, and it took that took honestly the whole process of starting an ice cream truck took a long time. It's not something I just thought I needed an ice cream machine in a truck, go, and it's not you need to find power, lights, like uh generators, um, permits, uh, how you can get the machine in the truck. And then there's so many things, right?

SPEAKER_01 20:38

So in like marketing, marketing, people getting to know who you are.

SPEAKER_00 20:41

People getting and I'm still not that big, right? It's still like growing, yeah. Um, but it's still like it was a tough process, and then now we're finally, you know, going. And then any new flavors? I wouldn't say we have any new flavors. I have eight flavors that I really like that sell really well. I remember I told you I want to bring banana in because I love banana ice cream.

SPEAKER_01 21:01

Yeah, but you're the only person who likes banana ice cream.

SPEAKER_00 21:03

Cold stone banana ice cream is my favorite ice cream. Um, but I'm probably the only one of the only people, and it right now, what I have right now sells really well. So there's no I'd maybe work like maybe a mint in, you know, for like pistachio nut. Because pistachio nut sells good with adults. Yeah, it does. But so would mint, you know. I also try to base it based off colors, if that makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 21:25

Right. Well, yeah, so you said the banana you would have to kick out a birthday cake, but birthday cake sells really well. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:32

No, I the kids are what make, you know, also.

SPEAKER_01 21:35

So Eddie's like Eddie said, it's like a it's called Flavor Burst.

SPEAKER_00 21:38

Yeah, yeah, Flavor Burst.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

And it's from the Midwest, and he thought of or he got the idea because his ex-girlfriend is from the wet Midwest. And so it's always really funny to see Eddie now when people ask him, like, oh, how like why do you have flavor bursts? Like, what's your connection to the Midwest? Because for a long time Eddie would like stumble around it and be like, I just like uh like I like at a friend who like Did that because I'm like sitting right there, and then I'm like, it's his ex-girlfriend, like it's okay, we can all say it. Yeah, your ex-girlfriend is from the Midwest.

SPEAKER_00 22:07

Yeah, that was funny. Because it remember it kind of happened early on. You were like, I think you were like helping me with my first event.

SPEAKER_01 22:13

Yeah, it was.

SPEAKER_00 22:14

And somebody from like Michigan from the Midwest was like, How do you know what's your connection to this place?

SPEAKER_01 22:20

Yeah, and then Eddie's like fumbling over his words.

SPEAKER_00 22:22

And I'm never nervous in that truck. Like, I'm always no, you were so nervous.

SPEAKER_01 22:26

And I was like, listen, we like I'm aware that you dated someone before me.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Yeah, if this is okay. So, yeah, that's where it came from. Yeah, that's the idea. That's a whole backstory behind it. And now this is kind of like my way of getting back into radio, right? It's like our podcast.

SPEAKER_01 22:40

This podcast.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

SPEAKER_01 22:42

I wanted to watch last night and you said no, let's watch too. I put on my iPad. But that's it's it's not here nor there.

SPEAKER_01 23:42

Oh, well, that's true. I guess if I'm around, I don't want to know.

SPEAKER_00 23:47

That's what I'm saying. Like they're just like they're just hanging out with it.

SPEAKER_01 23:50

If I'm not around, you can't see it.

SPEAKER_00 23:52

I think Maddie likes sports. I think Maddie, I think they're does Maddie like sports? Are they from New Orleans?

SPEAKER_01 24:03

Okay, well we'll ask and sports fans. This podcast is just gonna be us and Maddie in conversation.

SPEAKER_00 24:09

As it should be.

SPEAKER_01 24:10

I know. Okay. Someone said, Caroline and Eddie, congratulations on you, marriage.

SPEAKER_00 24:15

Oh my god, that's so cute.

SPEAKER_01 24:17

Caroline, I know you wrote on one day at a time. Are there any specific jokes or storylines that you wrote that made it to air? How does it work when lions actually leave the writer's room and make it into the script? So, just really quickly, because I know Eddie's never watched one day at a time.

SPEAKER_00 24:32

I don't even know what it is.

SPEAKER_01 24:33

That's crazy. Are you serious?

SPEAKER_00 24:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:35

It's a big show that I wrote on. It's my first show. That is extremely unsupportive of you, Eddie.

SPEAKER_00 24:41

That's not true. I didn't know you.

SPEAKER_01 24:42

But you we could still we should watch it now.

SPEAKER_00 24:44

Yeah, we should.

SPEAKER_01 24:45

Okay, anyways. Um, when I wrote on Monday at a time, I absolutely loved it. And my biggest the joke that I wrote, my very first joke that got in, I'll never ever forget it. What is it? I'm gonna tell you. There was two, the two teenage girls, Elena and now I can't remember the her best friend's name. They come out and Penelope, the mom, goes, Oh, are you guys have you guys how's homework going? And Elena goes, Oh, we've been working on our immigration homework, but we've really hit a wall.

SPEAKER_00 25:15

You made a you made a fucking immigration joke.

SPEAKER_01 25:18

Yeah, isn't that crazy? That was my very first joke that I got on.

SPEAKER_00 25:21

I've always known you're a racist.

SPEAKER_01 25:23

Eddie!

SPEAKER_00 25:24

You were you really are. No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm totally kidding. So we're gonna clip that I always knew you were a racist.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

I know, I know, they are Eddie.

SPEAKER_00 25:32

I'm totally kidding.

SPEAKER_01 25:33

No, it was like it was like 2017. Donald Trump had just gotten into president presidency. He was talking a lot about that wall. And so I made my- Did they build that by the way?

SPEAKER_00 25:43

And did Mexico pay for it?

SPEAKER_01 25:44

No, I'm just wondering.

SPEAKER_00 25:45

I was just wondering. But they did, you know, they did paint the American side black?

SPEAKER_01 25:50

Why?

SPEAKER_00 25:51

Because they said so that when the sun reflects it gets really hot. But people aren't jumping from the American side to the Mexican side. Isn't that funny?

SPEAKER_01 25:57

Wait, that's silly.

SPEAKER_00 25:59

There's a lot of anthrax silly. Okay, like on Saturday night when that thing was staged. No, keep going, no, no, keep going.

SPEAKER_01 26:04

Eddie Garcia.

SPEAKER_00 26:06

No, no, keep going.

SPEAKER_01 26:06

I'm Eddie is a conspiracy theorist.

SPEAKER_00 26:09

I am not a conspiracy theorist. I know no. Did you see Dana White in that video? No, he was just standing straight up.

SPEAKER_01 26:16

Okay, anyways, so um, can we talk more about my joke from one day to time?

SPEAKER_00 26:19

Yeah, keep going. Okay, so you just took me there. You took my mind there.

SPEAKER_01 26:22

Uh gosh, I think you forgot that we were fully recording the podcast. I know. Anyway, so I was very proud of that joke. It was very timely. Um, and now it's really sad. My joke was like a Donald Trump joke, but that's what it was. That was the first joke I got in, and um, yeah, a bunch of other storylines got into one day at a time. Um, but I won't share that here because I'm sitting next to a non-fan.

SPEAKER_00 26:47

That's not true. Yeah. I've watched every episode of the Great North.

SPEAKER_01 26:50

Yeah, but not one day.

SPEAKER_00 26:52

Is it one day still on TV?

SPEAKER_01 26:54

It's on Netflix.

SPEAKER_00 26:55

Oh, yeah, I watched it. Me and Zoe watched it.

SPEAKER_01 26:56

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_00 26:57

Yeah, we did, right, Zoe? Zoe did.

SPEAKER_01 26:59

I actually think you did.

SPEAKER_00 27:00

We did, me and Zoe watched it. I actually watched it on our 30-hour trip to Canada or to uh Africa too.

SPEAKER_01 27:06

I wish that would be so nice.

SPEAKER_00 27:07

Have you guys seen Monsters University, by the way? No, great movie.

SPEAKER_01 27:11

That's what you watch over. I watched the pit season two, loved it.

unknown 27:16

That was great.

SPEAKER_00 27:17

Also, guys, for anybody that uh is asking for merch, it's on the way. We're trying to figure out the best uh Okay, here's what we're trying to do. Yeah, yeah. It's tell them what we're trying to do, and if there's a listener that knows.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

I know if there's a listener that knows, okay, here's what we're trying to do. So we have those towels and hats, right?

SPEAKER_00 27:33

I might also throw some shirts in there.

SPEAKER_01 27:34

Oh, okay. And um we had and basically we were like, great, let's sell these because we have a lot of people who want to buy them. And we need two tires for our car.

SPEAKER_00 27:45

That's not why we're fucking selling. You make it sound like we don't have you making it sound like we're oh please give us more.

SPEAKER_01 27:51

We're not saying please give us money, but I'm just saying it would be great if we could get new tires in our car.

SPEAKER_00 27:55

Why did you have to say that?

SPEAKER_01 27:57

Because we do.

SPEAKER_00 27:58

It's not why we're selling our merch. We're selling our merch because people want it. We're not selling because we need too many tires, bro. Are you serious? Gee.

SPEAKER_01 28:06

I'm just saying, I think honesty is the best policy.

SPEAKER_00 28:09

Are you just saying it's so it's like a free like what is it called? Girl math?

SPEAKER_01 28:12

Well, yeah, I mean, that's the whole point. And so, anyways, we're gonna sell this merch, but then I was like, well, we should we should make a little storefront where we could buy them or we could sell the merch and see how many people would like pre-order, and then we can go make exactly that amount, right?

SPEAKER_00 28:27

Yeah, or made or made to orders, basically.

SPEAKER_01 28:29

Yeah, made to order. So we're gonna do that, and then I come downstairs today because I was like, Eddie, it's on his to-do list. Figure out the merch shop. Yeah, and then Eddie said that all the shops guys, the shop all the shops, I guess, take 30% of your earnings.

SPEAKER_00 28:43

They just take too much of your earnings, and we basically we we obviously need a middleman, but we don't need a middleman.

SPEAKER_01 28:48

I'll give them 10.

SPEAKER_00 28:49

Yeah, but it doesn't work that way. What we basically want, guys, is like I think Etsy, we might even do it on Etsy, like um we don't know what we're gonna do it on, really. Shop is a place called Shop that I guess is good.

SPEAKER_01 29:02

I use shop all the time to track my stuff.

SPEAKER_00 29:04

I like shop. I actually like shop.

SPEAKER_01 29:06

But that's crazy. 30%. So if I go buy like a reformation dress, they keep 30% of it.

SPEAKER_00 29:11

No, some one of the companies that I looked at was like, if you sell a sweater for $25, they take 15 and you make 10.

SPEAKER_01 29:21

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 29:22

What about the like there's money that went into them making that too, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 29:26

And they gotta buy tires for their car.

SPEAKER_00 29:28

I almost want to delete the tires out there.

SPEAKER_01 29:31

No! What those business owners got it?

SPEAKER_00 29:33

Well, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 29:34

Oh my gosh, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 29:35

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:36

So I'm like So then Eddie was like, let's just do it direct to the consumer. I'm like, what? So they're just gonna Venmo me?

SPEAKER_00 29:41

Yeah, or sell.

SPEAKER_01 29:42

But I think that's like, I don't think people feel comfortable with that. I think they like the middleman to feel like you can like return or like I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 29:50

We're not gonna do returns on towels. We're not also gonna be, we're not gonna be Costco.

SPEAKER_01 29:53

Like, I know, but I I just think that we can't just it also their hats.

SPEAKER_00 29:58

It's it's hard to return a fucking hat. Like, what do you mean you say you don't like the act?

SPEAKER_01 30:01

I know, but I wonder if people just feel more comfortable.

SPEAKER_00 30:04

Well, that's why we need the input. We need you guys to respond.

SPEAKER_01 30:06

We need input. Yeah, listen, they they don't answer us.

SPEAKER_00 30:08

I'm actually gonna clip that part and then you could post it so that people could.

SPEAKER_01 30:12

Oh, okay, great.

SPEAKER_00 30:13

Yeah. Um, we love that. We love that. Yeah, yeah. Because we want to get because a lot of people have been asking for it. Yeah, and the plates, guys. I know you're gonna ask about the plates next, and they might be coming up for sale soon.

SPEAKER_01 30:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:24

Look out for them.

SPEAKER_01 30:25

I'm looking at them right now. We had to make sure that the rest of the family was done who wanted them, and then we're gonna put them up for sale.

SPEAKER_00 30:32

Yeah, so look out for that. It'll probably be, we gotta make that a shock drop because you have a lot of people asking.

SPEAKER_01 30:38

Well, I don't even know if we can do it. I mean, there's so many people in my DMs that I have said, I'll come back to you, so I might have to go back to them.

SPEAKER_00 30:44

No, I think it should be a fair game for everybody now.

SPEAKER_01 30:47

Really?

SPEAKER_00 30:47

Unless you know like the first person that messaged you.

SPEAKER_01 30:50

Well, there was a couple people who messaged me like over and over and over again.

SPEAKER_00 30:55

All right. Sounds good.

SPEAKER_01 30:57

We I think we gotta get into the plate business.

SPEAKER_00 31:00

I told you, but you don't want to do that.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

How are we gonna get into the plate business?

SPEAKER_00 31:03

I'll I'll rent a minivan every week and go to Mexico.

SPEAKER_01 31:06

I bet you will. You just know, I think really, we need to become the manufacturers. You need to learn how to become a ceramicist.

SPEAKER_00 31:13

Okay, guys. Thank you guys so much for tuning into the program. You really want me to make a plate?

SPEAKER_01 31:19

I think you could do it, honey. I think you could do anything.

SPEAKER_00 31:22

Let's look at this.

SPEAKER_01 31:24

I think you could do absolutely anything.

SPEAKER_00 31:27

You think literally somebody could make this plate? Like you think.

SPEAKER_01 31:29

I think somebody made that plate.

SPEAKER_00 31:30

No, I know. But I'm saying you think you think you can make this plate?

SPEAKER_01 31:34

No, but I think you could.

SPEAKER_00 31:35

How would I make this plate?

SPEAKER_01 31:36

I don't know. Go to color me mine every day.

SPEAKER_00 31:40

No, but this is like yeah, no, this is this, or it's a good plate. I'm not sure I could make it.

SPEAKER_01 31:47
