100 in the Feed - Dinner Plus Drinks #79

We've reached 100 episodes in our feed, and even if this is only Dinner Plus Drinks #79 (we also have special episodes and Pinkies Up episodes in the feed), we couldn't let a good reason to celebrate go by without notice!

This episode has plenty of '100' themed fun - including an incredible Jeopardy segment where Bridget tested her intelligence versus 100 themed questions, and lots more. Here's what we talked about on this week's episode:

  1. We also talked a lot about Milwaukee because Stephen A. Smith talked crap about the city - calling it a "garbage city" and he can take a hike.
  2. Bridget recommends AJ Bombers as her favorite place to eat in Milwaukee. The Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls are 🔥🔥🔥
  3. Nick recommends either Cafe Benelux for frites & bier or Kopps for burgers & custard.
  4. We drank a bottle of Yalumba 'The Tri-Centenary' Grenache, made from vines that are over 100 years of age. So delicious! If you want to drink a bottle of wine with some serious history, this is a good bottle.
  5. Smuckers Jam and The Today Show do an awesome "Today Celebrates" feature for people who reach 100 years old!
  6. Congratulations to Carl Nassib of the Las Vegas Raiders for coming out and sharing that he is a gay, active football player.
  7. Rareform.com features incredibly cool bags and the like made from reused billboard material.
  8. Bridget highly recommends you try these Grilled Shrimp Skewers coming up.
  9. And Nick says cook brisket! Smoke it! Texas style!

Did you catch Friday's release of the first episode of Amuse Bouche? Amuse Bouche is our new weekly podcast that features a little bite-size piece of Bridget's musings. In this week's episode, she shared some of the quirks and idiosyncrasies that make Bridget who she is. Tune in every Friday for a little extra bit of fun in your life.

Thanks for tuning in this week, and for all the support over the past 100 releases. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you! If you had fun, please be sure to follow along or send us a note - we love hearing from you. Here's how you can follow along and reach out to us:

Cheers everybody, have a great week; we'll talk to you next week!

~ Bridget and Nick

SPEAKER_03

Hello everybody! It is a joyous, exciting That was extra exciting. I know. I this episode. Alright, so I'm just gonna get right into it. This is our 100th episode in the feed. It's not the 100th um Dinner Plus Drinks, but because we release some specials, we do the week or monthly Thinkies up. This is number 100 in the feed.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, 100. And we love a good party. So we put up some balloons.

SPEAKER_03

Put up the balloons. You can see them on YouTube. I think it's like when a blogger gets to a million something or like a YouTuber gets all of those awards. And we're just, you know, YouTube hasn't sent us anything yet, but we're doing our own balloons.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, yeah, like all the influencers I follow on Instagram always get a giant balloon that says one with an M. One million. So like 100 is the same.

SPEAKER_03

I'd be more impressed if they put all the zeros.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, me too. Could you do that, influencer, whoever's listening?

SPEAKER_03

Anyway, 100, still a big deal. So we had an episode planned with some fun 100 things, just kind of around the theme. You know us, we love a good theme, we love a good party. Love it. And then something happened that we have to discuss.

SPEAKER_00

I'm literally Googling the words that I was about to discuss, which is not what I meant to do.

SPEAKER_03

You know, this is a family-friendly podcast. I need to watch my language, but I have some words about Stephen A. Smith. He's a clown. He literally gets paid by ESPN to be a clown. They dumped very good journalists for this clown. And he said Milwaukee is a garbage city. Garbage. He said garbage. This is the type of thing that is not for the things that people get canceled for because of who he is and it's his job to drive clicks. He can say it's a garbage city, but F you, Stephen A.

SPEAKER_00

We're mad about it.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, let's be clear. So we first of all wanted to list some of our favorite things about Milwaukee.

SPEAKER_00

That's right. I think this could be a whole episode in and of itself.

SPEAKER_03

Maybe next year when it's 414 Day, we'll do it.

SPEAKER_00

But I'm gonna start with the Bucks.

SPEAKER_03

The easy, obvious one here. Tailgating at Miller Park. I'm sorry, American Family Arena Ball.

SPEAKER_00

Whatever the hell it's called. Yard. Um I was mad when it like was no longer County Stadium. Um, the access to the beautiful lake.

SPEAKER_03

The art museum, Veterans War Memorial, Pavilion, Patio, lakeside thing.

SPEAKER_00

That connected to that, Oak Leaf Trail. You can take a trail right alongside the lake. Like, I don't know, a million miles in either direction.

SPEAKER_03

Fun fact the first date my wife and I had was at the park, the state park, a little south of the art museum and Discovery World, watching the fireworks for Lakeshore State Park for um for the Air and Water show, which I know you watched on the balcony of your condo.

SPEAKER_00

I did, the roof of my condo, because I'm bougie.

SPEAKER_03

I ate a salad with my fingers, and we're still here today. Why did you do that? They didn't give us a fork.

SPEAKER_00

Uh, there's a really cool event that happens in that park. Um, that uh the uh name is going to escape me. Island. It's some kind of island. Oh my god, I can't think of it. Newwaukee does it, it's in August. I can't believe I can't think of it. The cool ass events that Milwaukee does.

SPEAKER_03

All of the fun festivals, all of them. Milwaukee knows how to party. Milwaukee can out drink you. Um, the delicious food. The streets of old Milwaukee in the public market. The zoo is a tremendous, easy-to-visit, easy-to-navigate zoo in a circle so that you can see everything without being confused where you are.

SPEAKER_00

How about the accessibility? This is a thing I talk about all the time. I love the city. I love a downtown city, but Milwaukee is like a small town, big city. So you get what you want from a city, but you also can walk almost everywhere. They now have a streetcar. People aren't total jerk faces. That's true. It's a Midwestern city. Um, they have awesome, a really, really great um art project. Also downtown where they're doing sculptures all over. Um, I'm on board for that. And street art.

SPEAKER_03

Anyway, Stephen A. Smith, you can come on the podcast to talk about why you don't like Milwaukee. I'm guessing it's because of uninformed BS views that again, if I said uninformed things like that about something, you would light me up. Well, so consider yourself lit up, Stephen A.

SPEAKER_00

By us. Um, I have to correct myself. It's the Urban Island Beach Party. I should have known that. I went to it a million years in a row. It's an awesome event. Also, lit up. I don't know. I don't know what else to say. I used to hate on Milwaukee. Did you ever? Like when you were a kid. When I was a kid.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. But then I started going downtown for here's another great thing: the Milwaukee Symphony. Very, very, very good quality symphony. Very accessible, reasonable prices, great to visit. They have a new home.

SPEAKER_00

Can't wait to get in there. So, yeah, a million years ago, Milwaukee had some growing up to do, but it is grown and it's amazing. So, screw you. We're adults now.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, so as part of the 100 theme.

SPEAKER_00

We're out of that.

SPEAKER_03

Uh, we have this wine. I originally was looking for a hundred-year-old wine. Yeah, couldn't find that. They do exist, but what we have here is the Yolumba, then the TriCentenary Barassa Grenache, which is made. This is a 2015 vintage. The oldest vines on our tricentenary vineyard were planted in 1889, and today just 820 old gnarly bush vines remain. So this wine is made from grapevines that are over a hundred years old. 100 years.

SPEAKER_00

Tricentenary. Is that right?

SPEAKER_03

Well, because they were in the 18th century, the 19th century, or the 19th century, the 20th century, the 21st. So that's why they do. So this is gonna take me a little bit to open. Which is gonna be fun. Because there's wax on this. Because it's fancy. You talk about a moose bush. Bridget, congratulations! Thanks, guys. So if you follow on the congratulations, congratulations. You launched your own baby podcast.

SPEAKER_00

Don't sue us for singing that song poorly.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. Post Malone can spend a million dollars on his teeth. I don't think he needs assuming. Yeah, he spent a million dollars on Diamond Bang.

SPEAKER_00

Sure, man, why not? Yeah, so today, as we record our Gender Plus Strength, which releases Sunday, today, a Moose Boosh is releasing. So this is super exciting. Um, I don't want to say too much because the Moose Boosh, if you missed it last week, is just meant to be like little bites of Bridget. And it's me, just me, uh blabbering at you about all kinds of things. Um, this first week you get to know me a little bit better. So if you have not followed Dinner Plus Drinks, or if you are introducing a friend to our podcast, they can start at a moose boosh and they can meet Bridget, one of the hosts of Dinner Plus Drinks. Um, or they can just listen along on Dinner Plus Drinks. But it's been super fun. Um, I really wanted to learn a little bit more about, you know, Nick, Nick takes this one on as the host. He does all the editing. Um, and I wanted to learn more about that side. So we started with a little short podcast with me. I've got my own little podcast set up in my office, and I love it, love it. It's not on YouTube, so you don't get to our beautiful faces twice a week. Sorry, just once. Um, but also that means, you know, I can do it in my pajamas if I want. A little more comfy that way. So that'll be on Fridays. It's meant to just kind of give you a little preview, get you excited for dinner plus drinks. Fridays, you can catch a moose boosh. It's gonna be in the dinner plus drinks feed. Um, you'll see my little pretty face there. Uh, and then you can still sassy little face. My sassy face. Uh, then you can still catch dinner plus drinks on Sundays. So super exciting. First one releases as we record this. Hooray.

SPEAKER_03

Well, the wine is open, so cheers, Bridget. Hey, thanks so much. Congratulations. Cheers to a hundred. Yeah, most podcasts don't make it anywhere near this long, even successful ones. Is that right? Yep. We're we're uh look at us killing it. Thank you to everybody that's listening. There are hundreds of you. We would not be doing this if nobody was listening. Yeah. We can talk and drink without being on air.

SPEAKER_00

We do, we do that, but not on air, also. Um, yeah, so thanks so much for following along. We've made it to here because of you.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, so this Grenache pours a little light. Yeah. And I know you usually see a light wine and that freaks you out. But year after year, these veteran vines give up small quantities of exceptional grapes. This is a historical expression of Grenache, and only 6,550 bottles were made.

SPEAKER_00

Whoa, okay. Also, it doesn't taste as light as it looks. Yeah, it's because it's 100-year-old vines. Because, okay, it's swanky wine. So, yeah, you're right. When you poured it, I was like, man, what are you doing? It's got some like meaty things, a little spice note.

SPEAKER_03

Meaty.

SPEAKER_00

What would you eat with this?

SPEAKER_03

Fried chicken. Anything. Roasted chicken. Uh salmon would be excellent with this if you're a fishy fryly type of person. If you're not, Nick. Groast.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, this is great. I remember having we've had the Yolumba. Was that on here? Or was that just some other time we were?

SPEAKER_03

I'm a big fan of Yolumba. It's uh family-owned still. Great. They have uh like six generations of family, the Hillwood family, or is that the Hill Smith? Uh Hillwood is Arsenal. Hillsmith, I think, is is um Does it say the good? Nick's getting his family's confused soccer, wine. Anyway, uh they're lovely people, they're super supportive of people that believe in their wines. They are sustainable. I think any business that is multiple families in agriculture understands the value of sustainability. Um, but they're just lovely people to make great wines. This is only about 45 to $50 retail. Oh, which for something of this quality and pedigree is very, very reasonable. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

For 100 years, it's it's because of the age, right?

SPEAKER_03

Yep. So what they said about, you know, there's only 880 vines. Yeah. So commercially, I don't know, this is maybe a pinkies up episode or something. But commercially, you want to, you you you think about how many tons per acre you get from your grapevines. And that really determines how you can price your wine, how much it costs you. So an average commercial vineyard of something in California for like a $10, $12 Cabernet is going to yield about eight tons per acre. And you can back out math of how much it's gonna cost you. So, like if you know how much something yields, you can generally understand how much the wine costs. If you're a nerd like me, I was like, well, or I could just um this is yielding about a quarter of a ton an acre.

SPEAKER_00

Whoa. Yeah. So not a lot, kind of.

SPEAKER_03

So very expensive to make because I mean they've had the land paid for forever, so no mortgage, but you still have to have people go through to do the same amount of stuff on it. Uh still some input cost on how you take care of it, how much trim trimming you do, and each vine puts out a very little bit of amount of fruit, but that means all the nutrients that would go into maybe 10 clusters on a vine are now only going into two, so that's why you get that light color but more concentrated flavor.

SPEAKER_00

It's great. I don't often drink $50 bottles of wine on the regular guys.

SPEAKER_03

Did you know that? You know what else is great? Milwaukee food. Great. That was a smooth transition. Continuing with our Milwaukee theme. We're gonna go back and forth between Milwaukee and 100 a little bit. We couldn't just pick one. Screw you, Stephen A. Smith. Here are some great things you can eat in Milwaukee. We're not gonna talk about the best thing we eat this week.

SPEAKER_00

Nope, we're not.

SPEAKER_03

Because it's coming up on Sunday, but more on that later. But we're gonna talk about the best thing you can eat in Milwaukee. And then we have some disagreement.

SPEAKER_00

Is there just one thing?

SPEAKER_03

I mean, there's so many things.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, I wrote three down so you could yell at me, but I'll save those for a moose boosh because that's its purpose. No, you nope, nope. My very favorite thing. Um, my husband and I, it's the thing that if we are like driving back from up north or something and we go through Milwaukee, we always order this and have it to go. It is AJ Bomber's. And it is not their burger, it's their Buffalo chicken egg rolls.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, those are very good. They are so good. Those are very good.

SPEAKER_00

We used to like politely get one order and split it, and then we're like, screw this. We both want a whole order. They're so good. I've made them at home and they're delicious, but never as good as AJ Bomber's. Um, Buffalo chicken egg rolls at AJ Bombers are the super best thing. They hold up well to go, which is also important.

SPEAKER_03

Maybe Stephen A has a peanut allergy, went to Bomber's, got real mad by some peanuts, had a breakout, and has got real mad. Maybe that's why you think Milwaukee is a garbage city. We're not mad. We're not mad at all. I got uh two because I can't decide. What? I got two because I can't decide on my own podcast. Uh fruits on the roof of Benelux.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I have words about this for sure.

SPEAKER_03

You can get all the dipping sauces if you aren't allergic to seafood slash shell, I mean shellfish like me. You can have mussels. Uh they have amazing Belgian beer there, but frites, or as we call them in America, freedom fries, French fries, are superb. You can get sweet potato or you can get regular. I usually get the regular. Sometimes I switch it up with the sweet potato, but I usually get the regular, and then they have a bunch of dipping sauces.

SPEAKER_00

Is it the fries or the dipping sauces that you love?

SPEAKER_03

I love the whole experience.

SPEAKER_00

Here's my issue. Benelux, who they own multiple restaurants in Milwaukee. The Lowlands group. Always a great atmosphere. Not always. Benelux's roof is a great atmosphere. Um, great beer. Great beer. But their food is like just there, in my opinion. It's like, oh, I'm here for the beer, but like I guess I'll have some French fries. Well, I'll be right back. Gotta get the fruits. Gotta get the frites. When Nick mentioned.

SPEAKER_03

Maybe you don't like real frites.

SPEAKER_00

I got heated. There's is it it's the dipping sauces. The French fries are just freaking free.

SPEAKER_03

They're like steak fries. Okay. I don't agree with you. Okay, do you agree with this one? Cops.

SPEAKER_00

Um, I do, except cops is like in the burbs.

SPEAKER_03

I suppose.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and so you want to hear me fight about the burbs real quick and people who say they're let's go. What I love about the burbs are garbage is the wafer things in their Sundays.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know what it is, but those are delicious. I love those. I also love their burgers. They do the like mustard fried thing, and it's delicious.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I love cops.

SPEAKER_03

And they can give you fried onions off the griddle, which are also delicious.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, you lost me at onion. Um, cops is great. It's just not like downtown. No, it's not. No, it's not. I could go on and on about the we lived in the city when we lived there. In the city. So I am pretty obsessed with all the restaurants I could walk to.

SPEAKER_03

Uh, what's the taco place near uh your condo? Uh it's uh one of um I don't know who's spaces.

SPEAKER_00

Um uh uh ooh, listen to us. Justin Carlisle?

SPEAKER_03

No, not him.

SPEAKER_00

There's a laughing taco.

SPEAKER_03

Well, it's like a fancy, fancy person taco thing.

SPEAKER_00

Is it new? This is fun. No, it's been here for a while. So Ardent, um, I do just because we brought him up. Ardent's good, Vanguard's good. It was right by our house and right by our condo, and we Bel Air. Oh, Bel Air, yeah, of course. Yes.

SPEAKER_03

Also, extraordinary tequila selection of Bel Air.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god, I had a really funny experience with tequila there. It was a sink or swim moment, and I swam, guys. Um is that why you won't drink tequila with me? Oh no, I didn't like tequila then, but it was like we were with this new group of friends, and it was like, oh man, my friend, now my friend Ian. Um, so this was when I was like just getting to know the New Walkie crew, and there was a select group of us at this, like, got invited to go do this social thing, and it was like a Tuesday, I'm sure, for tacos. And I was like, here is a warm bottle of tequila. We're all gonna do tequila. And I was like, I can't do this. Warm tequila on a weeknight. Like, tequila's better warm. You get one of the aromatic flavors that are so there's a my friend Courtney, she was there with me and she has me saved in her phone as Bridget, no tequila or something, you know, and I don't change those names. When I have them in my phone, I don't change them. It's a law. Anyway, we could go on and on about the delicious food in Milwaukee because that scene has also skyrocketed.

SPEAKER_03

Um hit us up with your favorite Milwaukee foods. We'll discuss them slash critique if it's good or not.

SPEAKER_00

And if you went to Ardent before it became a mainstream restaurant and it was just like the after hours you could get PBR and a bowl of ramen with rap music, it was maybe my favorite place ever. So let me know if you've been to that. Okay, that was food. We didn't we didn't need anything else this week. We just want to talk about that.

SPEAKER_03

Time to talk about the news and what's happening.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, well, are you gonna talk about hundred things or no? No, I don't have hundred things for this. It was too too hard. This news story is gonna be real boring, then. Actually, I think it's adorable. I wanted to celebrate our hundredth episode with something adorable that Smuckers does. So Smuckers is one of those like hilarious companies to me that's just like the most homey thing. They've done a great job. Their marketing team has done what they need to do. Like we're grandma's jam company, you know? Um, but they're mainstream. Also, I like their jam. So good jam. Yeah, you know, if you're not buying local jam, you might as well do that. Um sunshine in a jar. Sunshine in a jar incredible. Lisa, love your jam.

SPEAKER_03

Love you. So your jams are jam.

SPEAKER_00

Your jam. So Smuckers does a um celebrates 100th birthdays, and they post them on they they have a partnership with today's show, and they put whoever's 100th birthday is on a jar of Smuckers. It's this adorable. So, like Jeanette Wallendinger is 106 years old from Armonk, New York. Um, and it was her birthday they posted on the 24th. And so they they do a little thing where they put the face on the jar. Yeah, so it's just a funny, cute little celebration. I thought if we were celebrating 100, we might as well look at fun ways to celebrate. Because, man, if you make it to 100 years old, you deserve to have your face on a jar of jam.

SPEAKER_03

So I don't know if you know this, but my great-grandma lived to be 107. What? So she had framed letters up from Reagan Clinton Bush. Dude, this is like my goal in life. I don't want to be that old.

SPEAKER_00

How can I live to be 107?

SPEAKER_03

I don't. All of her friends were dead. She thought I played for the Green Bay Packers.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, think of how happy she was. She thought you were a professionalist. I mean. That Nick, he must be rich.

SPEAKER_03

Why am I in this home?

SPEAKER_00

Nikki, Nikki. I imagine she called you Nikki. Is that true? Nope.

SPEAKER_03

Speaking of football monster is actually about football. Okay, cool. Uh, I I know it's not 100 theme, but I actually want to talk about it. It's pride. Um, Carl Naseib of the Las Vegas Raiders. I almost said Oakland Raiders, came out. He is the first active player in the NFL to come out as actively gay.

SPEAKER_00

I saw this.

SPEAKER_03

He is a talented player. He has a big contract, which I think, you know, helps uh him feel confident to do that. And also I think it helps Michael Sam, who uh was trying to be drafted and did get drafted, probably drafted too low because of he came out as gay. He never actually played. So I think having a, I don't want to say prominent player, but known player come out. Um he talked about visibility and how he's not doing it to make a big deal, but he thinks uh it's important for people to see that you can be gay and play in the NFL and it's fine. Um he donated $100,000 to the Trevor Project as starting to come out. Nice. Um or whatever you uh starting to come out. I I think he's out. I don't know. Anyway, it's a you know, obviously personal journey. And um he also just I think did a really nice job of talking about that. The NFL donated a hundred thousand dollars to the Trevor Project to match it. Some people are now they did, yeah, because no one they're saying the NFL is being performative and okay.

SPEAKER_00

So I was so curious. I I saw the original article and then I haven't um followed back up. So have you seen like have other players said anything?

SPEAKER_03

Other players have said JJ Watt was one of the first ones to come out and say this is awesome, bro. But JJ Watt's awesome. Yep. So um seems like a lot of support. Obviously, we'll see. Um, but so I just want to say congratulations, Carl Nasib. His jersey was the top seller um this past week across all the NFL, which is awesome. So um, yeah, I just wanted to talk about that. Say, I think that's great. Um, I hope, and I think he said this one day. Hopefully, we're not making such a big deal of this. But he is a first and I think an important first. So congratulations, Carl.

SPEAKER_00

That is amazing. I I feel like a lot, you know, we've heard a lot this year about um there's a term for it, I can't think of, making sure you can see you. Representation, yeah. Thank you, representation. Where, you know, uh, I think there was a Target article, of course, about like Target putting children in wheelchairs or children with Down syndrome in their images.

SPEAKER_03

And then there's a counter thing of corporate exploitation, which a lot of people threw at the NFL for the Trevor Project donation, which it's like, can we just be happy? Where is that line?

SPEAKER_00

Because uh we've had that discussion too of like everyone capitalizing on pride paraphernalia, right? Like Rainbow Shirts. Okay, are you just capitalizing on this or do you actually support it?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, so interesting. Since you have your own podcast now and you get to do multiple things, I had a another news story too I wanted to do. Uh-oh. It was actually about um a bar that this person opened up, and it was for men with erectile dysfunction. Oh unfortunately, it was a total flop. Nobody came.

SPEAKER_00

Dad joke. We're taking a break.

SPEAKER_03

Hello, everybody. Usually Bridget goes first.

SPEAKER_00

No, but I'm making it changing it up.

SPEAKER_03

Changing it up. Um, mine product recommendation, we're coming to why exactly a little bit later in the podcast. Call the tease. Call the tease, guys. Bouncy houses. I was actually introduced to bouncy houses by Bridget. They're a brand new thing. We have something coming up that's going to involve children. Sounds creepy. Bouncy houses, man. You can throw children in there, forget about them, let the thing uninflate, and they'll be fine. I'm sorry. Wait, you need to closely super closely supervise them. But really, you can just throw them in there, hold your beer, and uh, hey, Elliot, don't smother Lucy.

SPEAKER_00

It's fine. Don't jump on her head and dropkick her. It gets a little wily when you have like a huge age range.

SPEAKER_03

Yes. You know, if you have, I think, a tighter range range, that's better. Yes. But my God, I forgot how much like fun bouncy houses are. I know. And how for a reasonable sum of money you can just totally forget about your children having to entertain them for a little bit. So you can just throw 'em in there. It's great. They have fun. So bounty houses, we are Uh wrenching one from this place that my friend Kyle recommended. There's another place that you recommended. And uh this one's gonna be Moana themed. Yeah, because why? Because Baby Shark was sold out. Yeah, I'm not coming. Uh Simona, so we have it a little bit before the occasion so that Simona can get a little bit of uh alone time on the bouncy bounce by herself. And we were really hoping it'd be a baby shark, or she calls it doo-doo doo, because if this thing got inflated, she walked out and saw baby shark everywhere.

SPEAKER_00

You were never gonna get her out of it.

SPEAKER_03

I'm telling you, it would be the happiest moment of my life to see that amount of joy on her face.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. But baby shark, so annoying. But for real, I'm with Nick on this. Bounce houses, hours of entertainment.

SPEAKER_03

We got her some uh baby shark jammers, I should say Sarah did.

SPEAKER_00

Are they the same ones Lucy has from the kills? Yes.

SPEAKER_03

And uh we put him, she was like fussing to go to bed that night, and we pulled him out as our secret weapon, put it over, and we go, Simona, who's on that? She looks down, she goes, doo doo doo! Oh my god. Gets so excited and went to sleep, like pointing at herself, curled up in a ball.

SPEAKER_00

Baby shark's the worst. I avoided it with Elliot for some reason somehow. Okay, moving on. We're in product recommendations. I hate Baby Shark. Product unrecommendations. Product don't recommend. Okay, I'm talking to you guys about rare form bags. So I've never heard I know. I obviously got targeted, and some people get mad. I love when I get targeted things with things because like my Instagram knows me. So I love um obviously all for if you can reuse any kind of product and it saves room in the landfill. So rare form bags are two uh brothers, I believe, Alex and Eric, and they make bags out of billboards. So they're waterproof. Uh, so it's um over three, it's almost 3.5 million pounds of billboards um that they use. So, like they're talking about the product, um, like the vinyl, think of like a banner stretched over the billboard, if you will.

SPEAKER_03

You may get Tristan Chris's face on your bag.

SPEAKER_00

You may. I I'm gonna see if I can request that. Don't really know that they're cutting up Lake Geneva billboards yet, but we'll see. So they take billboards from all over the billboards everywhere. It and honestly, they do say as close as Los Angeles and as far away as Boston. And so they route the billboards into their California uh warehouse and they cut them up and they make bags. I mean, that's the very quick way to discuss this product, but they're not that pricey at all. It's a durable, like I said, waterproof, eco-friendly, it's lightweight, so it's like a great bag for the beach, farmer's market, whatever you want. They have wallets, bags, backstags. Those backpacks look great. All kinds of stuff. Yeah. So really cool product. We will, of course, post a link to it. All for reusing and recycling people.

SPEAKER_03

And if you think that joke about Tristan's face being everywhere in billboards was a joke, it was not a joke. It's not a joke. And it's very smart, and his show is great. So if you're in Lake Geneva, go check it out. So we'll be back with I I the most incredible thing ever. I'm terrified. Okay, guys. So you know we've been rotating through some segments here, and we needed a 100-themed thing after the break. So Nick did it. So I feel all right, so I have to provide some context. Bridget's been working her butt off with a lot of different projects. I've been uh kind of the crazy insane boss. It's been it's just been a busy week. I threw a ridiculous uh brought picture idea at her, which in my defense is because you did such a great one for Father's Day and then inspired me with your quadrant thing. It's sitting here, sitting here. So um I threw some stuff at Bridget. I got an email at 11:43 last night that I didn't see because I was sleeping. Uh about that late. Were you really working on this segment? I passed out right before that. So Bridget was doing real work until 11.43, and I was coming up with dinner plus drinks, Jeopardy.

SPEAKER_00

Jeopardy. Okay, I would feel worse for you. I think I made an Amazon purchase at midnight last night. I was like, must have been in a daze when I went to bed and was like, yes, I need some crap. I don't even know what I brought up.

SPEAKER_03

So we're gonna play Jeopardy. Oh my god. We have three categories for Jeopardy.

SPEAKER_01

Jesus.

SPEAKER_03

I can't remember if you can read this the right way. This is keep track. Uh, three categories celebrated centenarians, let's party like it's 1921, and 100 facts. We have one category of double Jeopardy, which is 100 AD, and then final Jeopardy is numerical noggin knockers.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, I want you guys first to realize this is not to like make anyone feel bad and say, Bridget, you're smart. I am smart. I was on the honor roll all the time. But Nick is like she played three sports every year. I did. But Nick is like a different level of smart, and he's like, no, I think I think these are easy enough for you. And I'm like, no, they're not. They're not gonna be. So I'm sorry if I look like an idiot. I promise I'm not dumb.

SPEAKER_03

So, Bridget, it's your board. What category would you like to start with? I'm so scared. Um, 100. First of all, can you be like, can you just appreciate these category games I came up with? I don't believe this.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but I'm terrified by this 1921 because you like history, not my strong suit, okay?

SPEAKER_03

It's gonna be fun, I promise.

SPEAKER_00

I'm so scared.

SPEAKER_03

Play along at home with us.

SPEAKER_00

100 facts for 100, please.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. The American $100 bill features this man who is well known for flying a kite in a lightning storm.

unknown

SPEAKER_00

Well, it better I don't know who it is, except who is Bob Hope. Congratulations!

SPEAKER_03

Bob Hope died in 2003. He was 100 exactly.

SPEAKER_00

I'm grateful for your um inflection there. Trying to do that. I didn't know he was like a golf fan. Who knows that shit?

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Well, I thought your dad would have talked all about how he loves Bob Hope. Are you gonna like the Bob Hope classic? I mean, maybe.

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah, okay, that makes sense. Yes.

SPEAKER_03

Um, celebrated centenarians for 200. Mother, may I share your name? This British royal died having been a royal while she died, but not been queen for 50 years.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I have no idea what this is. Should I just guess a queen's name? Who is Queen Elizabeth? You are correct! Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

SPEAKER_03

Is that right? I don't really know. Our current Queen's mom. She was Queen Mother for 50 years. So her husband died in 1953. She died in 2002 at 101, having not reigned as queen for 50 years. She was actually the last empress of India.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, this is interesting.

SPEAKER_03

So you that was a good guess.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, of course. I knew that.

SPEAKER_03

Queen mother, that's mother. May I share your? I didn't realize that. Elizabeth named after her mother.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I don't know these things, you guys.

SPEAKER_03

300, please. This one we had a thing where I, if you remember a conversation we had once, you'll remember this. One, one time. Still alive, this religious sister is a good luck charm for the Loyola Ramblers. You may have seen her in March Madness.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I don't know the answer to this. I remember this discussion, but I don't know the answer.

SPEAKER_03

Tom's a big fan.

SPEAKER_00

Bye, Tom? My father-in-law, Tom? Read the question again.

SPEAKER_03

Still alive, this religious sister is a good luck charm for the Loyal Loyola Ramblers. You may have seen her in March Madness.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. I can't think of her name.

SPEAKER_03

Sister Jean. Yeah. Oh. She is still alive, 101, bringing good luck to the Loyola Ramblers. Well, you get to 100, yeah, she is. Wow.

SPEAKER_00

Dang. Okay. I remember that discussion. Never would have remembered that.

SPEAKER_03

I thought you may have got that. It was actually shockingly hard to find people that live to be 100 that people would know about.

SPEAKER_00

This is my goal. People will know about me when I die at 100. Okay, let's party like it's 1921. For 100.

SPEAKER_03

On May 5th, 5-5. This famous designer launched her still-enduring number 5 perfume. Who is Coco Chanel?

SPEAKER_00

Congratulations!

SPEAKER_03

Yay! One I knew of. I got into a deep Wikipedia dive about Coco Chanel number five. She is a nut job.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, there's a documentary. I can't think of what it says.

SPEAKER_03

She likes saw numbers that were fives and spoke about how she praised the number five. It is bizarre.

SPEAKER_00

I actually haven't smelled it in a long time, but I don't think I like the smell.

SPEAKER_03

So it's been around for a hundred years. So this May 5th, the Cinco de Mile was the hundredth year of Coco Chanel number five.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't know it was on five five. Look at what we're learning. 200, please.

SPEAKER_03

Harold and Kumar's favorite restaurant opened in Wichita, Kansas on September 13th.

SPEAKER_00

Are you asking what the name of the restaurant is? Yep. What is White Castle? I do not allow my husband to eat there anymore. He asked me, please don't ever allow me to eat there if I say it's a good idea. I wonder why. Yeah, me too. Could they slide?

SPEAKER_03

Okay. 300, please. On Veterans Day in Arlington, Virginia, perhaps the most well-known tomb in America was dedicated.

SPEAKER_00

What is the tomb of unknown soldiers? Congratulations! You guys, okay, I'm only mildly dumb.

SPEAKER_03

300. Okay, we are on to double jeopardy.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god, my palms are sweaty. 100 AD, please, for 200.

SPEAKER_03

Fun for racing. This common garden, garden, hand propelled vehicle first appeared in China.

SPEAKER_00

A garden hand propelled vehicle? It doesn't make sense.

SPEAKER_03

Fun for racing.

unknown

Fun for racing.

SPEAKER_00

Garden hand-propelled vehicle. This doesn't make any sense to me. The question doesn't even make sense to me. Well, it's an answer. Okay, well, the answer to the question. Garden propelled fun for racing. I don't know. What is a box car? I have no idea. What is a wheelbarrow? Oh, duh! Oh, geez. Jeez, jeez. All I could think of was like the old school lawnmowers that like don't have wheelbarrow racing. That was a good question. That was a good question. Thank you. Oh, sorry. You need to ask. Double Jeopardy, 100 AD for 400.

SPEAKER_03

Perfect to throw through a window or build a wall. Romans started widely using this clay-based material for buildings.

SPEAKER_00

What is a brick? Correct.

SPEAKER_03

Why is that more points than the wheelbarrow? I I maybe they get these. I don't know. This one might be the easiest of all of them, because I know you're very familiar with this one. 100 AD for 600. If you love exotic and erotic poses, you'll be grateful this text started to be compiled in India. This what? This exotic text started to be compiled in India.

SPEAKER_00

Like a text meaning a book? Or like a kind of text.

SPEAKER_03

Like meaning a book. Alex Trebek never gave out this many hints.

SPEAKER_00

You're not Alex Trebek.

SPEAKER_03

Damn it.

SPEAKER_00

Um some book was compiled. Oh, what is the Kama Sutra? Yes, of course. Yes, of course. You guys, I'm sweating. 600, 1200.

SPEAKER_03

I'm usually really cold down here in our recording studio. So you got 1,500 in Jeopardy. You got 1,000 in double Jeopardy. That gives you a total of 2,500. Our final Jeopardy category is numerical noggin knockers. How much would you like to wager?

SPEAKER_00

Wait, what do I have? 2,500. I would like to wager against myself, please, for 1,800. I don't know. Let's just make the math as hard as possible.

SPEAKER_03

This letter is the Roman numeral for 100.

SPEAKER_00

It's one letter.

SPEAKER_03

What is X? That would be 10. V. That would be 5. What is it? C.

SPEAKER_00

It is? Shut up. Okay, Tess. I've no idea. I know it's not X or V, but I didn't know there was a C. Literally didn't. And do you know what 1000 is?

SPEAKER_03

No? Oh my god, you know this.

SPEAKER_00

1000? Yeah. No. We talked about it. Why would I know what 1000? Oh, yeah. Okay, M, but I swear I've seen M. I don't recognize a C. Whatever. All right.

SPEAKER_03

So I lost against myself here. You ended up with $700. Congratulations. That was our 100-theme Jeopardy. Dude, that was good. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Nick, I can't believe the amount of work you put into this. I know. That's why I was up. Nick, then you wrote me an email at like 6 30 this morning. I'm like, do we do either of us sleep? I tried. Oh, that was good, man. Thanks. Thanks. I wanted to do something special, something fun. Oh, well, I hope you guys liked that. Now I feel like I should just play Jeopardy against myself all the time. Okay. Anyway, guys, should we go to like a regular segment? Let's do it. We put together a bomb meal plan this week. I told you this earlier.

SPEAKER_03

Well, it's uh 4th of July week, and I thought you did a really great job with the narrative. Thanks so much. You put uh you, you know, start of the week, kind of like, hey guys, you get a big weekend coming up. Pace yourself, do something easy. Chicken. You know, you're gonna probably have some T ball, you know, like you need something fast and easy. So you put those recipes at the start, and then 4th of July, boom, boom, party recipes.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, because I was inspired by your birthday.

SPEAKER_03

My birthday is Monday after this is released, the June of the 28th.

SPEAKER_00

So we didn't, I didn't quite get your favorite food on last week's meal plan. So I put it on like the Saturday before 4th of July and just knocked that weekend out of the park.

SPEAKER_03

So my pick for this, I'm gonna go first again. Yeah, do it, man. Is a Texas smoked brisket recipe. I recently changed the title online to Incredible Texas Smoked Brisket. I'm trying to get 100 points on our SEO title. If you use power words inside your title, you get more points.

SPEAKER_00

Nick is having the SEO love right now.

SPEAKER_03

So, um, anyway, brisket. Let me just wax elegantly about brisket here a little bit. Because no one loves brisket like Nick. I mean, there are people that love them more. It's I mean, Tri-Tip is my favorite, but I love brisket. I like beef that tastes beefy. I like beef flavor, and brisket tastes beefy. I also like long cooks that involve being by the girl with a beer. It makes me very happy. Uh my favorite brewery, Three Sheeps, which you can see me drinking uh a fresh coast in our podcast artwork. Oh, they have a motto that says uh heart brewing where heart meets science. Because Grant, the head brewer, one of the co-owners, uh, is like an engineer. He's not like an engineer, he's an engineer by trade. He's a construction engineer, and he's also a super talented brewer. And his approach is let's take science but also put some art into it. And I think the best types of cooking are those things where you understand the science, you build on the science, but then you add a little bit of art, a little bit of heart, a little bit of passion, and put your own twist on things and don't just follow the recipe. Bridget. Bridget. Looking at you, Bridget. So, brisket, this is the way I wrote this recipe, I wrote in there is it's how I tell a friend to do it. It's gonna drive Bridget nuts. Absolutely. Because it's very imprecise. And that's because every brisket is different. Um they each have a little different striations of fat, they actually have a little different shape, and that changes how long you cook it, and you really need to cook brisket to 203 degrees. I kid you not, 203 degrees.

SPEAKER_00

What if it's 204? That's fine.

SPEAKER_03

But really, 203 is kind of like this crazy magical number where people have all convinced themselves, and by people, I include myself, that that is the number. So it's very simple. You get half a part of salt, half a part of black pepper. Should be hopefully coarse browned black pepper, and it should be kosher salt, preferably diamond crystal. Combine that all over the brisket. You can use your other fancy rubs, but I like to do it Texas style, which is a salt and pepper. I think it really highlights the beef. Works perfectly. Uh, like an on-choe pepper rub is very good. Like a coffee rub is very good if you like coffee. Love it. Coffee and beef. Um, do that, let it sit, get your smoker going. I do a little higher temperature than some people, about 250 degrees. Uh, oak or pecan, don't do mesquite. I swear to god, if you smoke food with mesquite, I will come after you with a stick. Oh, why? You want to taste the meat, not the smoke. You want smoke to be a flavor component, not the flavor. Mesquite is the nuclear option of woods. It's terrible. Wow. Has a lot of tannin in its cool. Tell me more. And so you cook. At some point you get to what's called the stall, where it hits about 150 degrees internal temperature, stops going up because science, you hit uh evaporative cooling where the moisture in the meat starts cooking out and it's hot enough that it then condenses, hits the meat again, cools it, evaporates off. So it's evaporative cooling, which I like air conditioning and stuff works, evidently. And uh your meat starts to dry out and stops cooking until the moisture is gone, then it goes back up. You need to wrap it in foil or butcher paper at that point to keep the moisture in and to speed up the cooking, wrap it up, like go to two or three, then you need to let it rest, and then you have brisket, and you have all the sides. You have your friends over because there's a lot of meat, and you eat all of it.

SPEAKER_00

Uh, I like the pickles and white bread. Does that count?

SPEAKER_03

What about the onions? Don't like those.

SPEAKER_00

Um, how long does this process take?

SPEAKER_03

Every brisket's a little different. It usually takes 12 to 16 hours, somewhere in there.

SPEAKER_00

So, like legit you're doing it overnight? Yep. I usually try to start start your house on fire.

SPEAKER_03

Well, no, we haven't the big green egg outside. I know, but man, okay, okay. I mean, Sarah also has shared this concern.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, okay, because we're logical.

SPEAKER_03

And uh or illogical, it's a small charcoal fire in a ceramic wrapped metal wrapped thing.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I was at a friend's house who may have like put their normal grill a little too close to the side. Well, that's dumb. I yeah, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_03

This is why you need a big green egg. Well, I don't have to put 250, not you know, 450, 500 degrees. Although I can't get up. I've got it up to 1100 to sear steaks.

SPEAKER_00

What?

SPEAKER_03

Oh yeah. Charcoal burns real hot. It's like the the stupid recipe we did.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. But great. What was it? Tri-tip on a Weber? No, it was a top butt. Top butt. It wasn't a tri-tip. Okay. Well, guys, my uh food, not nearly as in depth or exciting, but I know it's not one Nick will pick because he will die.

SPEAKER_01

Literally.

SPEAKER_00

But I did shrimp on our Fish Friday this week. And shrimp on the bar, babe. I did it. Did you go with our Australian wine? Yeah, no, but yes, that's why. I always try and include, you know, in the summer, a grilling recipe for our fish as well, because grilled fish is great, and I feel like people don't do it that much. Um, I was gonna go with salmon, but shrimp feel perfectly summery to me. They're great for the 4th of July. Super easy to throw um on a kebab. So we also I posted two recipes, of course, in the meal plan, and one is about grilling. It's the way you should do it this weekend. The other is, or I guess 4th of July weekend. Um the other is indoor, and you can do it with a bit more flavor, but obviously you can put whatever you want on it. Um I just think shrimp don't get a good wrap, they don't get enough attention in our meal plan. So here you go.

SPEAKER_03

Amazing American Gulf jumbo shrimp.

SPEAKER_00

Yep, that was the other piece here.

SPEAKER_03

Again, my my throat would swell up and I'd violently exhale them or stop breathing. So uh dying over here.

SPEAKER_00

So I'm all about fishy Friday on the meal plan. Shrimp on the grill. So that's it. That's what I'm eating.

SPEAKER_03

And you know what that brings us to?

SPEAKER_00

It's time for Kid Connor. We made it. I didn't know if we were gonna make it. We made it. Okay, guys. I feel like I talk about Elliot and his T-ball a lot, so it's time for my other athlete of a child. She made her dance debut this week. Oh my goodness. So she was supposed to go last week, but she was sick. Um, also, I was never I'm not very graceful. Um, dance wasn't a thing in our life. Uh, I think I took a class once. That I'm that's it. I remember taking a class once.

SPEAKER_03

I can see you taking a class, your dad going, nope, that's not it.

SPEAKER_00

Nope. Well, and so unfortunately, I'm in that bit a little a little bit here. So one of our very best friends down here, Josie. Shout out to Josie. She is an awesome dance teacher. Also, Ron. Hey Ron. She's so good um with the kids. So we go drop her off at dance and then peace out. Like, I don't even have to stay. Josie just gets to handle all of them. Um, but anyway, I also was like, I've never been a dance mom. I don't really um thrive in that environment. And so I'm like, Josie, what is she supposed to wear? Do I need shoes for her? Like, what am I doing? She's like, I got you. So she dropped off the most adorable, like, she has two um daughters who are just older than my kids or older than Lucy. And so she dropped off some adorable outfits. I put it on Lucy. And if you've seen a photo of Lucy, she's not she's not petite. Um, she's not fat by any means. I am not calling my two year old fat. She's just not like a skinny kid. So her in a tutu is The funniest thing in the world. So anyway, she started dance. It is damn adorable. I don't have an embarrassing story for you yet, except that clearly she's the kid that doesn't listen. Like there are dots in the dance room that the kids are supposed to like stand on. Lucy is definitely the one in the middle of the circle, like hopping up and down. But anyway, Josie, you're a real hero for handling these kids.

SPEAKER_03

So Sarah is the real hero in our relationship. She's usually the one that does daycare, drop-off, and pickup. Usually works a little bit better with her schedule. And uh I did a actually when when we lived at our old place, I did the drop-off all the time. Since coronavirus and we've lived here, it works better for her. And when I did drop off, Simona was in a car seat and I just took her in in a carrier. In an infant carrier car seat. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Daycare drop-off is a challenge. It's a thing.

SPEAKER_03

So I dropped her off one day this week, and she was really in a daddy mood, and we were playing, and it was so much fun.

SPEAKER_02

I was like, oh my gosh, I love you so much, baby girl, delicate, daddy loves you.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. So I had to take her to daycare and drop her off. And uh you still can't go in as a parent because of the state COVID restrictions, which is like, you know, your health department said COVID's over, but your childcare people are saying COVID isn't over. It's DCF, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and and it's like how the government does everything. They're saying, well, like, well, we're saying you should do this, but you can do whatever you want. And it's like, okay, well, if we do whatever we want and it's not what you say, are you gonna shut us down? Well, it depends on how we feel. It's like, okay, so we have to do what you want.

SPEAKER_00

Well, that's not what five and up is still wearing masks. Like, Elliot says to wear a mask.

SPEAKER_03

So it's bizarre. Yeah, I just um, but anyway, so I went to drop her off and uh took her out of the car and had a nice hug and said, Okay, have fun at school. And she loves school, and she wouldn't walk to school. Uh-oh. So I picked her up and put her by Grandma D, who takes them in, who she loves, Grandma D. And I got a no daddy, no. You're in that season. And uh Grandma D picked her up, and she never does this to Sarah. I guess Sarah does it better than me. Uh, she has a different method. I guess I did it wrong. You gotta just leave, man. And uh, I heard the crying and I cried myself. And uh, we talk about mom guilt, dads have guilt too.

SPEAKER_00

That's true. I should be more sensitive about that.

SPEAKER_03

And um, it was heartbreaking, and I just love my daughter so much.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, Nick. I thought you were going with the like, no daddy, which is what Lucy does.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, she does that too now? Oh, that's where I thought we were going with that. When uh especially like she likes to eat my food. Oh, yeah, man. So, you know, I'll here you go. She'll take a bite and then I'll try to take a bite uh because it's my food. Yeah, you know, we spend all this time Excuse me? We spend all this time cutting the food up into nice little pieces for you that you could eat. Don't eat my big piece. And then and then you eat my food, and I get to no daddy.

SPEAKER_00

But I mean, whatever, I love you. Dude, I'm gonna feel you and go on a side note here of daycare drop-off has been an extreme challenge these last couple weeks, I will say. Like, Elliot is in full on, he wants to do what everyone else is doing, which is like having summers off, you know? And yeah, it's been really hard. You gotta just leave. That's what they taught us at school. Like once you go to school, school, they're like, you just leave. I'm like, but he's they're sobbing in the window. GTFO.

SPEAKER_03

Anyway, parents, it's fun. So if you're about to have a kid, man. Good luck. Good luck. Look forward to it. It's a ride, guys. It's great. I'm excited for you. Congrats to you. I want to say congratulations again. Thank you for being here. Life is now over.

SPEAKER_00

Kids are great, I suppose. Nick's being dramatic. Maybe we'll write our own rap song.

SPEAKER_03

Maybe, maybe for the real episode 100, we'll write our own rap song. Actually, we have a really cool special episode planned for There Bus Drinks 100. So stay tuned for that.

SPEAKER_00

21 more episodes, something like that. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Thanks, guys. Again, 100.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you for sticking with us. Uh, Bridget's listening back to a podcast, and she's in 2019 in that one. I am. And you're laughing at how they're because they're I like feel so anxious.

SPEAKER_00

They're planning all their live shows. Like they've gotten so popular. They have all these live shows, and they're like, yeah, this one's in April. I'm like, no, it's not. I like want to call in and be like, it's not, but I'm in the past.

SPEAKER_03

So um so you've been with us through some, you know, crazy life things, this whole coronavirus thing, uh a summer of unrest.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, sure. Um, a lot of things. Yeah, what is happening? Okay, sorry, just got really excited. We did launch in our summer of unrest. We finally are going back a little bit to normal. I know we don't talk always about our events on well, we do, yeah, we do. We're doing a beer garden, okay? It's gonna be cool. So that's a little bit of normalcy.

SPEAKER_03

So are you like, I don't know, 70-some people interested on Facebook?
