High School Planners | Dinner Plus Drinks #65

SPEAKER_03 0:14

Hello everybody, we are here. New edition of Dinner Busterings Podcast. And can we all just say frigid rocking the pattern?

SPEAKER_01 0:22

You guys, it's sunny out. I like to pretend it's spring, even though I think there's still snow out. I'm not sure. It's also like not that warm. But yeah, man, this is like my favorite cropped pants with like cute flat shoes, not that I'm wearing right now, and a blouse. This is like my favorite go-to. It's looking good. Thanks. I was Future on an hour ago.

SPEAKER_03 0:39

Yeah, we were moving some stuff out of the pop-up location that we weren't able to use because, well, I think we covered that in a previous episode. But uh, so yeah, you had the like work clothes on, and then you came down here. Actually, you you beat me into the studio and I watched and I was like, whoa! Bridget got dressed. Save it for on air.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

But you're looking good, Bridget. Thank you. It felt nice to like, and it wore boots, like little booties with a tiny little heel. It was like I'm it's like I'm going to the prom.

SPEAKER_03 1:05

I'm wearing the uh dad uh uniform. Yeah, for sure. The Patagonia better sweater. Soon I will have all the colors, and I can just do like the Mr. Rogers thing. Mondays we wear the red sweater, Tuesdays we wear the green sweater. Yeah. And you'll know what day of the week it is by what sweater I'm wearing. Yeah, Tyler's got four of those too, I think. So this seems like something dumb, but they have this cell phone pocket here. It is the I have the huge iPhone, and honest to God, it is so nice to like just keep it there.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

I have a winter coat that has a pocket right here on the outside, and it's the best. It's so nice. Okay, but I know someone else that has that sweater. They had the issue that when they go to unzip the center zipper to take it off, they would unzip the cell phone pocket on accident and then like just try and whip it off and get stuck. Was it Tyler? No, no.

SPEAKER_03 1:48

Was it Elliot? That's it would do. Elliot doesn't have a better sweater. Product recommendation early. We got it at Clearwater Outdoor who donated 20% of their sales yesterday as we filmed this to uh Open Arms Free Clinic, which was awesome. So shout out to them.

SPEAKER_01 2:03

We also love Patagonia as a company. Yep. And you know, I love thrifting, so I'm throwing another thing in early here. Patagonia does a thing called Warnware, which is basically like thrifting Patagonia clothes. So they take, like, if Nick gets sick of this or there's a tiny little hole or something, he can send it in because Patagonia has an awesome warranty on their clothes. I really like that. And they can they resell and it's in great shape.

SPEAKER_03 2:25

I think we talk about this all the time about how, yeah, it's expensive, but it lasts forever. There's a great warranty, it's environmentally conscience, and vote the assholes out.

SPEAKER_01 2:36

You guys know how cheap I am, thrifty I am, and uh, Patagonia is a brand I'm happy to pay for.

SPEAKER_03 2:41

So anyway, yeah, it's bright and sunny today, but this week for me, it was windy and crappy. And I know you love it. Yeah, Nick's really out on this. I love this weather. Like last yesterday, I was like, I just want to go away and sleep forever.

SPEAKER_01 2:57

He's like, we have to talk about this. I'm like, I love this weather. I don't know what's going on, but it's killing us. Okay, I'm just adjusting my microphone, sorry. Um uh sorry, Daylight Savings has killed our house. I don't like I'm my kids are sleeping later, but crappier. So like they're waking up in the middle of the night where they don't usually like what's happening. I'm gonna save this for kid corn. Okay, okay. We'll talk about sleep later. You can talk about your kids' sleep. I don't get it. But I like the cloudy overcast days. I always say it's very London out, which I love my life in London. That was brilliant.

SPEAKER_03 3:30

Do you know the London people would kill for not crappy cloudy overcasts?

SPEAKER_01 3:34

Whatever. I love or out. I I think it's because it's like if I have to be working or doing productive things, why do I want it to be sunny and beautiful? And so I can like look outside and be like, oh, I wish it was out there.

SPEAKER_03 3:45

I do. Here's a tip from somebody that works in kind of retail. Um, first of all, don't go in and be like, oh, have a great weekend when it's Saturday afternoon and somebody's working. Like, that's like I know you're trying to be nice, but like, and most people get that, but there's always a little bit like, uh-huh. Thanks, this is my weekend. Uh-huh. Thanks. Um, so I know you're trying to be nice. You're not trying to be a jerk. Noted. Um, also, oh, it's such a beautiful day outside. Are you gonna be able to get outside and enjoy the weather?

SPEAKER_01 4:14

No, no, I'm here where you know, but maybe if you're done at like three o'clock, it's still peak weather. But not like uh don't say it at five o'clock. Yes. Okay, noted, everybody. So Nick doesn't like the clouds. I also really like running in cloudy weather, not sunny weather. So, okay, anyway, I'm gonna keep trying to convince him to like the cloudy weather.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

It's sunny today. Oh, I forgot to give Kevin our keys back.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Oh, you can keep it because we still have things to do there. Oh, that's right, we do. Okay. Reminding Nick, we still have a fun activity, City of Lake Geneva. We still have a business license, so we're taking advantage of it.

unknown 4:49

A couple more.

SPEAKER_03 4:51

Um I love this thing you got coming back. Uh, we we're talking about all the COVID stuff, all the year of COVID stuff.

SPEAKER_01 4:58

You guys, did you see? I hope you've seen this by now, that the first baby was born with antibodies. Yay! So, for all of you that are unsure about getting the vaccination, cheers. Obviously, cheers. A pregnant woman got the vaccination and then bird the baby that was, ooh, I'm sorry, has the antibodies. This is great, exciting news.

SPEAKER_03 5:19

I wonder if uh Erin's baby has the oh, that's a good idea. I actually want to like messenger her about that. I don't know if it was long enough.

SPEAKER_01 5:26

Maybe. Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't know enough about it. I'm not a doctor. I just think that this is an awesome, like I you know how we feel about vaccination.

SPEAKER_03 5:32

I can play one on TV. A doctor of crime.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

I watch a lot of medical shows and a lot of crime dramas.

SPEAKER_03 5:38

Um could be a mortician. Not a mortician. Uh, what's the the medical examiner? It could be a medical. No, that sounds terrible.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Okay, hold on. I have one more thing to say. By a serrated knife. Um, the I get, like, I'm very pro getting the vaccine, obviously. Um, but I get the hesitation if you're pregnant, you're like not sure if it's going to affect your baby, even though doctors say it's okay. But ask your doctor. This is why, I mean, it's great for this baby, but I'm so excited for the mother that made the decision and probably was a little bit nervous anyway because it's unknown. Well, and for all the moms. All the moms. This is so great. I'm just so excited about it. So anyway, it's that's uh whatever. I'm happy about it. It's great news.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

Yeah, I wonder how that got transferred and how long that's good for. That's awesome, though.

SPEAKER_01 6:19

So gotta read into it a little bit more, but saw the headline, very happy, sharing that happy news with you.

SPEAKER_03 6:24

Speaking on happy news, we are drinking something really exciting and really fun today. It is the Sipes Columbia Bach. I think we touched on a little bit last uh episode, but we are doing a really cool lunch party with our friend Lauren um from Sipes that will be occurring next week.

SPEAKER_00 6:44

So you can get your tickets while you're gonna go.

SPEAKER_03 6:46

You can still get your tickets while you're listening. Tickets 20 bucks, and what it gets you is three of the brand new Columbia box, three of the already out there, totally delicious extra pails, a six-pack of Lake Shaneva Country Meat Sipes beer brats, a Sype Pilsner glass, um, a really cool postcard of Blackpoint with the Sype stuff on it, and oh, you get to go to the bar totally.

SPEAKER_01 7:09

You get to hang out with all the cool people.

SPEAKER_03 7:12

Virtually, virtually. Virtually next Thursday. Um so cook up some brats, have some beers, learn about the beer, learn about how Lauren, who is a really you've heard her on the podcast. She's so lovely. Um, and just like a totally kick butt lady that kick butt. She uh well, she's we're very polite. Uh she she didn't really know a lot about brewing or how to start a brewery. Uh, she knew she had brewing in her family history, she liked beer, and she started a brewer a beer brand back up from I think it's really cool to hear about that. We're gonna have Dave from Blackpoint on to talk about what they got going on. There's some really cool um uh old world Wisconsin put some really neat beer programming on the menu this year. So cool stuff coming up with that. So we help you do it.

SPEAKER_01 8:04

Can we talk about how good this beer is, though? Yes, let's talk about how good it is. Okay, so if you've been a longtime listener, slash if you're my friend or have ever talked to me about beer, you know that Oktoberfest is my favorite beer.

SPEAKER_03 8:14

Or if you were at Lake Geneva Oktoberfest while it was cool when Bridget ran it and there was a beer tent. Well, it was cool. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 8:21

Um, sorry, R.I.P beer tent. Um but this is like a better version of Oktoberfest. And it's not Oktoberfest, like don't please don't. I'm not misquoting the type of beer here, but it is so good. It might have upped in the ranks above any Oktoberfest beer, which I I I can't explain how much I love Oktoberfest. So it's so delicious.

SPEAKER_03 8:42

So it's a bock. Yep. She originally told me it'd be a just a dark lager. I wasn't sure because they're really into like historical beer styles. Uh, they have it brewed by Metropolitan Brewing, Metropolitan Brewing in Chicago that does a great job with the historic beer styles. Um so it's crisp, clean. If we poured it out in a glass, you can see straight through it. You won't be able to see. It's too far. Too far away. Or we'd have to go right up to the camera and you'd be like, oh my god, this is weird. I would do it for you. I would do it for you. But um I don't have anything cleared up.

SPEAKER_01 9:11

But explain, you said something good to me because I was like, well, isn't Oktoberfest in the spring or in the fall? And you're like, no, this is a spring style.

SPEAKER_03 9:18

Yeah, so this has got a little bit more sweetness to it. Um, and it doesn't have like the spice notes of an Oktoberfest. A Mars usually has a little bit more spice notes to it with a different malt bill. So this is a little crisper, a little cleaner, a little sweeter, and um just kind of bready. It's herald spring. It's it's delicious. It's so good. It's crisp, clean, good flavor. So you're not quite in the like, I want the sweetness of corn that you'd get from a lager, like um a macro lager or a craft lager uh that you want while you're lawn mowing and chugging your lawn mower beers. Exactly. But you want something crisp, clean because it's spring, but you still want a little bit of that homey flavor. This beer is just perfect. It is in my year-round rotation. However, they only made a little bit. I was like, wait. So come stock up. Lake Geneva Country Meats got the largest allocation in the state of Wisconsin. Oh my oh yeah, I remember when you were like, how much should we order?

SPEAKER_01 10:06

I'm like, yeah, all of it. This was before I had it. I just trust Lauren and the brand.

SPEAKER_03 10:12

I did appreciate when I opened this for you and you were like, I mean, I know it's gonna be good, whatever. And then your eyes like lit up.

SPEAKER_01 10:19

I didn't know what it was gonna be like Oktoberfest beer, man. I'm focused on learning more about wine, not beer as much, okay? So I did not realize. I think it was a more joyous moment in your life than when Lucy arrived. I don't know, man. It was close. I was barfang when that happened, so you know that brought the joy level down. Just kidding. I love my daughter.

SPEAKER_00 10:37

Okay, so this is gonna be also this beer. I also love this beer.

SPEAKER_01 10:43

Okay, so yeah. This is great. There's a launch party, it's available at Lake New Country Meets. Come and get it. And it's so good. It's so good.

SPEAKER_03 10:50

Um, what'd you did you so you, Miss Gallagher, Miss Gallagher? Miss Gallagher. Uh, you are a big Irish person. You're a big St. Patrick's person.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

I mean, usually, except I don't like corned beef. Isn't Irish, I know.

SPEAKER_03 11:03

We talked, we talked the the meal plan last week had a lot of the St. Pat stuff, a lot of the Irish stuff. What did you eat? I kind of want to know.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

Because again, it's written down Irish Kolcannon potatoes, but not really. Let's be honest.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

I wish you would have used an ellipsis instead of a common here. You know, it would have been a little bit like, oh yeah, I had Irish Kolcannon potatoes. But not really. But not really.

SPEAKER_01 11:22

I said not really because I didn't put spinach in them. Re basically, I made a baked potato. It's really just potatoes. I just thought it was fun because we really, yeah, there was bacon, cheese, at least on mine. Bacon, cheese, and broccoli and butter. And potato. And it was like a lot of people. Did you use the Irish butter? I did use the Irish butter. See, it was like I'm celebrating. See our good friend Kevin Fleming gave me gave me some Kerrygold butter a long time ago, and I never thought, like, who cares? It's freaking butter, but oh my god, do you know how Kerrygold got banned in Wisconsin?

SPEAKER_03 11:55

No. Yeah, we sold it illegally for a long time. Oh. So Wisconsin is insane about cheese and butter.

SPEAKER_01 12:02

I don't know if Kevin did anything illegal. I don't think so. I've had it for a long time.

SPEAKER_03 12:06

It's like prostitution. You could legally buy it, but you couldn't legally sell it.

SPEAKER_01 12:08

Oh, he didn't sell it, so you know.

SPEAKER_03 12:10

So um, you can give it away for free. You can buy it, but you can't sell it. Oh, that's funny. So they like the state of Wisconsin requires a state licensed buttermaker to grade it. And Kerry Gull comes from Ireland and they're like, uh This is not a oh Jesus. So they eventually came to some compromise.

SPEAKER_01 12:29

Okay, it's available for sale.

SPEAKER_03 12:30

Yeah, they could do a compromise. So we have again, but there was a time where like we were getting it kind of on the DL. We're like, we're gonna keep selling it because it makes a difference. Yeah, it's good butter.

SPEAKER_01 12:39

Oh my god, it was really good. So I would just laughed because we were talking about how much he loved these Irish Kulkennan potatoes, and I just don't want spinach in my potatoes. I prefer broccoli. It was so good. And I called it dinner, like, which it was, it was a hearty protein, some carbs. We used bacon ends. Nick introduced me to bacon ends. Anyway, it was great. Yeah, it was and I think it was cold and windy, so it was like the perfect, and I didn't have it on St. Patrick's Day for the record. It was the day before or two days before, because it was just like cold and rainy and it felt like a warm, comforting dinner. And it was.

SPEAKER_03 13:09

The Irish are good at that because it's crap weather over there. Oh, wait, no, it's Bridget Land.

SPEAKER_01 13:13

This is why I belong. I love it there. Okay, what'd you eat, man?

SPEAKER_03 13:18

Uh, so we did a chopped competition with the very talented young culinarians at Badger High School in their Pro Start program. Oh, cool. I didn't actually eat much of the food because the judges ate all of it. But it's still the best thing you ate this week. But the soda bread. Oh, I had some soda bread that uh Chef Young at Simple Bakery MRK uh made, and it was really good.

SPEAKER_01 13:41

Yes, and and I'm not, are you normally like a soda bread person?

SPEAKER_03 13:44

Um, no, because so Young is Korean, but he's married to an Irish woman. And um, when I said, Hey, could you make some soda bread? He said, The crap you Americans think is soda bread with raisins and stuff in it. It's kind of paraphrasing it. There may have been some different language or the real stuff. And I said, Um, the real stuff. Um, I don't know. How should I answer it? So he made the real stuff and was very proud of it. He's as he should be. It was a great quality. It's a very simple bread, ingredient-wise, but you have to make it well. And uh, we had an extra loaf that Ridget kindly gave to me. I think you maybe forgot you were giving it to me.

SPEAKER_01 14:22

No, I know. I went and bought a loaf the next day.

SPEAKER_03 14:24

Um and I smeared it with the um cheese, and then I also melted some butter or um smeared it with butter, and then I melted some cheese on it, like half melted, so it was like gooey.

SPEAKER_01 14:34

I just like ate it with gabs of butter, which is what young said too. They sold through two rounds of those, I heard. I saw that, but that's awesome. It was really good. I in my head, soda bread was like is disgusting and tastes like nothing. Um, but so whatever, you just apparently need to buy it at a good place.

SPEAKER_03 14:50

Yeah, do they use like good flour or something?

SPEAKER_01 14:52

Yeah, they shann it. Sure. Why was it so good? Yeah, it was awesome. We um we did some driveway beers on St. Patrick's Day with our friends. Um, it was freezing and raining, so that's very early shout out to Ron Henningville. Early shout-out, and we just, you know, did not provide dinner because we were irresponsible like that, but we had a loaf of soda bread and some carry gold butter, and we were like, happy St. Patrick's Day! Here's the Guinness and some bread and butter. And it was so great. It's all we needed. Also, we had cheese, of course, because thanks, Ron.

SPEAKER_03 15:21

Thanks, Ron. So, okay, good stuff. Here's a random news story for you. Ron Henningfeld was eating cheese with Nick Offerman because Ron's a BFD. I don't know exactly why. Yeah, but tell us more. Tell us more, Ron. Come on the podcast, tell us about Nick Offerman. Is he really cool? How good's his beard? And who did you have to sleep with to to do Nick Offerman things?

SPEAKER_01 15:46

This Nick just like randomly dropped that. He's like, Oh, like Ron's on a um thing with Nick Offerman. I was like, What? What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_03 15:52

He's got a like a picture of a screen, and there's Ron and Josie, and there's Nick Offerman. I'm like, Oh, funny. Fair.

SPEAKER_01 16:00

Good news. Fair. We love you. So anyway, lots of news. Besides that news story, um, mine has nothing to do with Ron or Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 16:06

This is amazing, though.

SPEAKER_01 16:08

Okay, so um, you y'all know my love for Milwaukee. So I obviously still read and look at and follow on Milwaukee. And they do a um a segment called Urban Spelunking, and it's just like little gems throughout town and areas, things you may or may not know, whatever. Everyone knows this. And this their most recent urban spelunking was on Wolski's Tavern. And if you are not from the area and don't know what Wolski's is, you should plan a road trip to Milwaukee just to go to Wolski's. I don't know its COVID rules, so I assume it's open, but Wolski's is a little gem on the east side that you would never know. And it is, it is literally just like a house. It's a house. I mean, I don't mean literally. It is actually a house, and you would never know from the outside that it's a bar. There might be a sign. I don't even know if there's a sign, but the big thing is like I closed Wolski's. And if you stay until bar close, you get a bumper sticker. And at some, I don't know, if you're special, you get an apron. Shannon once got an apron when she closed Wolski's. She and her friend Ann, I believe, both got an apron and like wore it around at bar time when we were cool. Speaking of Shannon, did you just ask her about soda bread? No, she just texted me. Um, so anyway, you should check out this whole Urban Spelunking series. It's really cool, especially if you're from the Midwest and like want to visit or learn more about Milwaukee or just want to take a little road trip or want to be like me and think of my glory days when I was in my 20s, going to Wolski's and closing it at bar time when now I'm waking up to help my five-year-old who's having a nightmare at bar time. So same, same, but different. So anyway, Urban Spelunking's Wolski's Tavern. It is great.

SPEAKER_03 17:37

There, I read the Urban Spelunking all the time, and it's really cool old pictures. I like um, I love like urban planning stuff and like plat maps, and they have some really cool plat maps and stuff in here.

SPEAKER_01 17:47

It's on the weirdest little street, too. It's like everything's very grid-like off of Brady Street, except where this, where the where Wolski's is. It's like this weird angled street. I remember the first time I went, I was like, I don't know where this is. I'm not very cool. All these things look like residential houses. They have free bar popcorn again, pre-COVID. As I haven't been to I haven't been to Wolski's in a million years. But anyway, super great. Check out Wolski's The End.

unknown 18:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 18:13

All right. Mine is um I love the New York Times. I think everybody knows that. I scroll it often at night, um, just because it's a good way to keep up with stuff, and they also have so many talented writers around the world that you're gonna find something new that you're gonna think is interesting. So this one was about the headline was um Europe's attempt at making their own yellowstone. Something like, oh, it's um the world through a lens, the making of a European yellowstone. So in Romania, they're taking this huge natural forest and turning it into a natural park. Americans, Teddy Roosevelt, really are the people that uh invented national parks and conservationism. He shot a lot of elephants, maybe he said some racist things. We should probably cancel him. Right. But he did invent natural national parks, which is really cool. So the photography in this, it's a really interesting story about some of the challenges they have. Um, about how like there's hunting lodges and there's leases on that, and the government's trying to buy them, but they don't want to cooperate. It's very interesting. There's a lot of gorgeous pictures. Yeah. Um, and it's just kind of a really interesting Europe versus America thing. And if they can pull this off, it'll be really awesome and great for um nature.

SPEAKER_01 19:28

The people and our country.

SPEAKER_03 19:30

So if you like natural national parks, if you like beautiful photography, if you like kind of a America and Europe are different. It's just a fun story to read.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Great. Good find. Always a good find on the New York Times, man.

SPEAKER_03 19:42

Always a good find.

SPEAKER_01 19:45

Okay, are you done?

SPEAKER_03 19:46

I have no dad joke.

SPEAKER_01 19:48

Whang whh. Okay, well then lucky, lucky you, no dad joke today. We're gonna take a quick breather and we'll be right back. Nick's dancing, which means we're back. He's uh he's really happy there's sun out today.

SPEAKER_03 20:19

I love the sun. I'm going, I'm driving to Milwaukee. Miwake. Or as they mean in uh the Native American language, land of the good stuff. The good land. Whatever. Um, so anyway, I'm yeah, I'm excited. I'm gonna put my like brown wood frame sunglasses on that are like my summer ones with the amber tint and enjoy the sun.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

These are my summer ones, man. They're just plain black. I have 900 pairs.

SPEAKER_03 20:46

Yes, but you're so stylish and like seasonal. Why don't you have summer sunglasses?

SPEAKER_01 20:50

I don't know. I have like 900 pairs of sunglasses. No, okay. This is just like the ones that aren't broken.

SPEAKER_03 20:54

Is that what you're recommending? Sunglasses that aren't.

SPEAKER_01 20:58

Those are polarized from Amazon. I have nice polarized ones from Clearwater, but I break sunglasses all the time, slash they get scratched. Anyway, not my product rack for today, but uh maybe fourth bonus product rack. Yeah, we've had some good ones today. I know, man. Some some weeks I struggle, which is ridiculous, but this one's especially special. I'm talking about a body scrubber. I didn't know what to call it.

SPEAKER_03 21:21

I'm very interested.

SPEAKER_01 21:22

I know, I'm so excited about this.

SPEAKER_03 21:23

I was going through the outline and I literally typed in here, ooh, tell me more about this. This sounds so useful. And then I was like, oh, she's gonna think I'm being a jerk and sarcastic. Because oftentimes being sarcastic. Um, but I'm like, no.

SPEAKER_01 21:38

And there's no font for sarcasm. There should be fine. I want to know. Okay. So, you know, um, we take showers every day in theory, right? So I've always used a loofah, but I don't remember how long ago I started reading that those are bad for a lot of reasons, but namely being that like invisible mold and bacteria grow in them. And so, like, I sometimes might still have one. For my kids and things, whatever. I change them out much more often, but like I always just had a loofah. So I've been on the hunt for like where can I squeeze my body wash and scrub my body without being a thing that's disgusting, but also a thing that is soft enough. And so like I've tried the natural sponges that are like really hard. I don't know if you've seen them like from the ocean? Yeah, that are like look like a piece of coral. I've tried those. I've tried like, oh, that's expensive. I haven't found anything that worked until I got targeted with an ad for a soft silicone face brush, cleanser, and massager, manual cleansing, scrubber. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 22:35

It looks like the front part of a sandal.

SPEAKER_01 22:36

Yeah, I said I should have brought it. So it it looks like um, I don't know, yeah. It looks like a little rubber mat with little, little um like bristles, rubber, rubber bristles, and it's perfect. Like looks like Mr. Miyagi so far. I think it's perfect. You um easy to hold on to, squeeze your body wash, it suds up nicely and it's soft enough that it feels like it, it's a good balance of being soft, but it feels like it's exfoliating nicely.

SPEAKER_03 23:01

My god, it's five dollars and sixty three cents.

SPEAKER_01 23:04

$5.93.

SPEAKER_03 23:05

And it has 36,000 ratings, and it's a four and a half.

SPEAKER_01 23:09

You guys, I'm just saying, there's also a facial brush. There's two different um bristle sizes, one for your face. I don't actually use mine on my face, but you could. Um I wouldn't.

SPEAKER_03 23:18

Um We have a link to this to buy on Amazon in the show notes. Go and get it.

SPEAKER_01 23:23

I mean, it's six bucks, so just take the gamble, guys. If not, use it on your kids. Um, you you can easily like rinse it out. You can see if there's any germs or anything. Like, okay, you can't see germs, but you can see mold. You can see gross things on it. So it's easy, it's great. I love it. I have not. Maybe there is germs. I'm sorry if that's a bad recommendation. It's six dollars.

SPEAKER_03 23:43

Use it until there's germs, get a new one. Okay, I have uh two product recommendations.

SPEAKER_00 23:49

Oh, of course, man.

SPEAKER_03 23:51

We're like eight strong. I'm gonna skip my real one. Okay. Because this is too funny not to recommend. The Badger High School Academic Planner. I highly recommend them. Oh, it's in my car, dang it. So we went to our alma mater to film this chat thing, as I previously mentioned, and as we're checking in because it's like harder to get into than Fortnite. Oh, yeah, it's insane. And uh they have their academic planners there. And Bridget goes, Oh my god, I love those. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, oh Dang it. I wish I had mine in the car, you guys. So it has like motivational messages, and you can put your class things there and like who you're crushing on at what time. Measuring conversion charts. All the things. And Bridget's like, oh, I use this every day. Didn't you use it? And you know I love a good planner now, but I was not. You did not use it. So we're down at the classroom, and the assistant principal comes down. His name's Giovingo. Well, he has a first name too, but I don't think anybody calls him by his first name. Mr. G. We call him Mr. G. Uh anyway, he he um Gio comes on down and is like, what are you doing here? And we're like, quit chatting. You know, and that's like, you know, Gio, Bridget saw the planner and freaked out, and he starts dying. And he's like, I'll be right back. He goes and gets planners and gives them to us, along with a hall pass for Matcher for a year.

SPEAKER_01 25:14

Okay, you guys, Nick is not doing this planner justice. It's the perfect size, it is spiral bound, it has space for everything you need. I know we're always on the hunt for the perfect planner, and this planner is it, okay? Plus, it's more than a planner when you're in high school. It's like, yeah, who you're crushing on, what you're doing that weekend. So me and my sisters still have them because they're it's like our journal. So we didn't have my gratitude journal and my monthly planner and my weekly planner and 10. No, we had one thing provided to us by our high school, and it had it held everything we needed. Oh, I love it.

SPEAKER_03 25:47

So if you need a good planner, head on down to Badger High School, make a donation or something. I don't know. And just say, like, hey, can I have one of these? They're sitting in the front office, okay? So if you can manage to get in, I'm sure you can get one. Yeah, good luck with that, though. That's what I got for you this week. We'll be right back.

SPEAKER_01 26:24

Woo, okay. All right, guys. We're just still discussing the journal, and I'm really excited.

SPEAKER_03 26:31

Did you miss us? Did you? We switched out the break music a little bit. I don't I don't know if you if you like that more or less. Did you? Hello at dinnerplusdrinks.com. Let us know.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

We like to make it with a little bit of terrible choice.

SPEAKER_03 26:45

We're tr changing it up for spring. If you're interested in where we get the music, uh Soundstripe, I can get you a referral code, you'll save some money. We like ghost beats with a Z.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

With a Z. Because we love when things are intentionally misspelled. I hate that. Do you like that?

SPEAKER_03 26:59

Uh depends on the like use case.

SPEAKER_01 27:02

Oh my god. Like cafe with a K makes me crazy.

SPEAKER_03 27:05

Well, that's I mean, that's European. We are in America. Well, but if you're trying to be a European style cafe. If you're saying like kids' cafe, I don't think you're trying to be European.

SPEAKER_01 27:15

No, no, no. Okay. You're trying to be crafty with a K.

SPEAKER_03 27:19

Crafty with a K. Okay. So that means it's time for interesting questions with Bridget and Nick. And it is Bridget's turn to ask me questions.

SPEAKER_01 27:28

Okay. Let's go. It says COVID aversary edition. So like we're going to be. I had it in my planner.

SPEAKER_03 27:34

Bridget's asking me some questions.

SPEAKER_01 27:35

But he threw it out. So, okay, we're talking about. I'm wrapping up this year of COVID, right? It's it's a year. We talked about that. Now we're moving on. We're into our second year. This actually came to me from Kim at work. She's like, I have I have a good thought for interesting questions. And I was like, well, it's my week, man. Lay it on me. So this is more of a checkup on your first year from COVID. And I need to know not well, Bridget. I need to know a few things. Okay. I first need to know if there was anything that you panic bought that's still in your pantry.

SPEAKER_03 28:12

No. Uh I don't really panic by food. I have the world's largest pantry in my backyard, literally. Um but there are some things you can't get there, and I'm scared if you panic bought anything. I'm pretty flexible and stuff. Uh I'm a good like sub-ingredient person.

SPEAKER_01 28:27

But what about for your daughter?

SPEAKER_03 28:30

She would really just like shard it eating during the picture. Yeah, well, and she's she's getting a little pickier now, but she was like very good about eating anything. Um we did stock up pretty hard on formula. Um with her being by pretty hard, we bought like a six-week supply.

SPEAKER_01 28:46

Was that your biggest stockpile? No, this will come later.

SPEAKER_03 28:48

Um so that would be, and like I did get kind of a look. I'm like, hey man, screw you. Like, my kid's eating. She's like, she's with the colic and stuff. We had like a specific one. It was target brand gentle formula, so it wasn't like something stupid, but um, it really worked well for her.

SPEAKER_01 29:06

So that was the one where like I do remember you doing this, and I was like, You're a douchebag. What about other people that need it?

SPEAKER_03 29:11

I don't care about other people. No, I remember this because actually I care deeply about other people. So we've had this discussion, my my wife and I, my family and I, about like I'm a very care about other people, and like sometimes we gotta take hits for the greater good. I truly believe that. At what point then do you say there's at some point I have to say my daughter is more important than your daughter? Well, okay, maybe that was when I said my daughter's more important than your daughter.

SPEAKER_01 29:35

Lucy was still in, yeah, Lucy wasn't one yet when the pandemic started. So I specifically remember standing, um, like, because by the time she I, you know, we switched to formula like a couple months before she turned one. And um, you know, I remember standing there being like, how much of this can I buy without being rude? And I think there there might have been a limit already, and she just Lucy had normal formula, so I just bought two at a time, I think. I don't know. But even that, man, okay. Anyway, this is great. So no, you so you don't still have that in your pantry because she's not she's drinking red now. Was it chicken? Did I panic by food? I didn't panic by any food, I don't think. I don't remember panic buying food. Also, I work, you know, with you. Yeah. Um, I feel like for some reason I probably bought more canned goods. Like, I don't, we don't usually have a ton of canned.

SPEAKER_03 30:20

We're a big canned good family. Yeah. Um we have po levels and what we want in our pantry for.

SPEAKER_01 30:26

Yeah, that seems fair. I ran out of canned corn the other day and I was really upset. Yeah, that's that's a problem. I know because I didn't keep my power levels up because I just cleaned out the whole pantry and I know, I know, man. I don't think I panic bought food. I just bought more canned food than I normally would because you know, I felt pressure from society. Okay. I need to know more about your stockpiling. Did you stockpile hand sanitizer?

SPEAKER_03 30:50

Yes. For home, not work. Yeah. We so like I was buying for work a lot too. Um, but we again because baby, we like wanted to make sure we had these things for our kid. So we bought like two huge things of hand sanitizer. We are not hand sanitizer people. Oh, you're not? No, we believe in soap and water. It's ultimately better for it. Yeah, but you know, like so changing diapers and stuff, we yeah, you know, there's an occasion for both things, but we're not the like uh those people. Uh but yeah, so we bought significantly more than we usually do. Um we bought a bunch of disinfectant wipes because we use those a lot. Uh we are very clean people. Um, we do more like spray and wipe.

SPEAKER_01 31:32

I was gonna say, did you ration your Clorox wipes?

SPEAKER_03 31:35

We did. Yeah. Um we we did try to buy enough toilet paper. Like we actually did the math.

SPEAKER_01 31:41

You are jumping ahead.

SPEAKER_03 31:43

There's well, you asked like um so like there was a lot of stories where like, you buy this much toilet paper, you'd have to take this many dumps in a day. Um so we figured out like, you know, kind of the schedule. You did do the math. And like we're like, okay, so we, you know, this will probably sort itself out in three months. So if we can get this much, that'll be good. So we got to that. Okay. And then we were done.

SPEAKER_01 32:03

Really, my question was do my one of my other questions, do you still have toilet paper in stock? Oh god, no. This so I actually didn't realize that I was like stock. I didn't mean to stockpile toilet paper. All I did was like buy a bigger case. Like normally I would just buy like the four or whatever, instead I'd buy the 12 during COVID. We also became Costco members and have gone once, which is I don't understand Costco. I tried and I was like, I don't get it. But um, I like just went through our last like big thing of toilet paper. I was like, shit, I have to like just shop for toilet paper like a regular person now. I haven't bought toilet paper in a year. So anyway, um, okay, Clorox wipe was the other thing that like I ration. Did you ever have to make hand sanitizer for your house?

SPEAKER_03 32:44

Yeah, we did out of it. No, okay, so or other we did it at work. Um we did it work, we made some some uh Yeah, you had to use some hooch. Some essential oils and stuff, and like people at work were insane, both customers and employees. And you'll be like, oh my hands are so chappy because so much sanitizer. I'm like and pretty early on we figured out that this was not a contact surface spreadable disease. And I'm like, y'all are stupid. Like stop it.

SPEAKER_01 33:17

I have to say though, I know that I've known that for a long time, and I'm still an obsessive sanitizer.

SPEAKER_03 33:22

I'm kind of into like get some germs.

SPEAKER_01 33:25

Yeah, I've gotten a lot of germs though. We keep what I my weird hand sanitizer thing. I would I don't know if it's totally weird. I always had one in my purse because kids, so like we're at the zoo, we spray it on well before they have a snack, whatever. But I keep one in my car.

SPEAKER_03 33:38

Because that's weird animal poop everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 33:40

Yes, man. So we keep we have a specific one for the kids that's like not whatever. Hello bello brand, love it.

SPEAKER_03 33:45

It should be the vodka one because vodka is edible.

SPEAKER_01 33:48

It is not the vodka one, it smells like green apple. Um I can get some green apple smearnoff.

SPEAKER_00 33:54

Get out. That was the first shot I ever took, I think, was a green apple something. And I was like, why am I taking a shot of this? It was terrible. Um, thanks, Brittany.

SPEAKER_03 34:06

It was a foreshadow that she's moving to Washington.

unknown 34:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:09

Oh my god, I had pink pants on when I did it. If that gives you any indication, I was going to a frat party. Whoa, that was a long time ago.

SPEAKER_01 34:18

Okay. So I keep a bottle of hand sanitizer in my car door now. This is the weirdest thing I do, but I also like thrift shop a lot, so I do that. But that was my like weirdest thing. So, really important question here. Did you make sourdough bread? Fuck no. I just really wanted your reaction to that. Fuck no.

SPEAKER_03 34:39

Um, okay, so we talked about simple earlier. My friend Chef Young is very good at making really good sourdough bread. Um they needed money. They needed people to buy sourdough bread. We are buying it. Why the fuck? Sorry, I said this would be family friendly. It's not. Would I go and make crappy sourdough bread? Because I'm sorry, your sourdough sucks. Compared to that. When I could buy probably some of the best bread I've ever had at a very fair price and support my friends.

SPEAKER_01 35:13

It's funny, I was having this conversation with someone else, and I was like, maybe if I didn't have like direct access to this bakery, in that one, my in-laws own it, two, it's four seconds from my house. Three, I drive past it every day. You know, maybe if I didn't have direct access to this bakery, I would have considered taking up that hobby. But also, like, we were the people that didn't have the relaxing start to the pandemic, more of the panic start to the pandemic. So, um, so my last question is did you pick up any new hobbies in this relaxing time?

SPEAKER_03 35:41

I don't know if I'd say new hobbies, because it's been not a lot of free time? Not a lot of free time, which and we moved, so trying to get stuff around the house and just like a disaster. There's still a lot of projects around the house. But um I'm a much better cook. Like for sure, I'm a much better cook. Um that's a good thing. Because with everybody else, I'm a much better podcaster, I'm a much better video person, I'm a much better photographer, and I'm a much better cook. The podcast really was or not the podcast, the pandemic really was this arms race of digital media, um, especially in the food world, where um you know, we have a real podcast that we've had for a long time. Um, you know, it shifted uh when Bridget came on board, but we had a real commercial podcast that gets 100 to 150 downloads an episode. That's a lot.

SPEAKER_01 36:33

So to be clear, not this, not dinner plus drinks. It was prior to that.

SPEAKER_03 36:36

So yeah. We decided we wanted to upgrade the equipment. Um and we decided this pre-pandemic, and then the world went crazy, and every idiot in the world decided they wanted to have a podcast, and they got the stimulus checks and the this and the that, and they had too much time and they couldn't go out to eat. So, like these microphones, we couldn't buy them for three months, the soundboard we use, um the lenses for like cameras. So you I had to get a lot better um without the equipment, and that was a lot of work. Um, the amount of content being put out about idiots that think they can cook now um was insane. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to denigrate anybody, but you know, um, so really had to step up our game to keep the edge over um as somebody that does this for a living, that's somebody that does this as like, hey, I'm not a chef, but I'm gonna give you some things you haven't thought of. Um I really had to learn a lot and get a lot better to keep that difference between uh average person at home that likes to cook where I am and where a chef is. Yeah. Um, yeah, so I've gotten better at a lot of those things. Like I've really honed a lot of skills. Yeah. Um, but I wouldn't say new hobbies.

SPEAKER_01 37:52

It's cool to look back on because I I just spent so long being like, I didn't have time to come up with a new hobby. So I'm trying to look back and be like, but what did I do that was cool? Um you got better at zooming for sure. It's funny, I was on a Zoom call this morning and I was like, I still don't look any better on Zoom calls than I did eight months ago.

SPEAKER_03 38:08

Zoom calls, you always look terrible. I would say we're better at drinking in garages now than we were previously.

SPEAKER_01 38:13

Actually, yes, I'm I uh we are more flexible with our social activities. We drink outside in colder, wetter weather than we used to.

SPEAKER_03 38:23

Oh, good times. It was in um December, I believe, that speaking of colder, wetter weather. Uh my friends Kyle, Ron, and Tyler, and I were on my patio flying a drone, drinking beer, and it was freaking cold. And windy and windy, and uh we were like six-ish feet apart. And uh but the freezing cold air killed all the germs. We were having a great time. Yeah. So that was fun. I so I learned that skill. There we go. New hobby drinking outside in the freezing cold, flying a drone.

SPEAKER_01 38:54

I do appreciate that it's made us put our kids outside in weather that we might not normally. Um, like I'll never forget early, early pandemic when like like we're talking crying every day early, you know. Well, what are we doing? We we took the kids out hiking um like on these cross-country trails every weekend as long as we could. Didn't care if it was raining and like they don't care. So I will that was one of my fondest memories early pandemic. We went behind Badger and like on those trails and it was disgusting out. It was cold, it was March, so it was cold and rainy and wet, but we had the greatest time and England weather. I thought you loved it. I mean, I liked it, but I wouldn't normally be like, let's go on a hike, kids. Anyway, that was a fun little recap trying to be like, hey, remember these wicked ridiculous things we've done in the past year? Making sourdough. Okay, so anyway, it's time for more food. More food, more food.

SPEAKER_03 39:42

Um I'm gonna go first. I'm just gonna go off the thing. I'm glad. Tuesday is cheesesteak day. I had a we we only have one cheesesteak recipe on the Wednesday. Wednesday.

SPEAKER_01 39:53

Really important holiday to celebrate. Gotta get it right.

SPEAKER_03 39:55

Um, I've been to like the cheesesteak places in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a crap hole. Like it is dirty, it smells bad. It's like all the, you know, like the old cities in America that are like, eh, you're not quite old enough to be historic. You're just old enough to be like old. Weathered. Uh bought that's a good way to put it. Boston's cute, New York's wonderful, DC's, you know, like all these old cities. I like Baltimore, except the wire part of it. Um the crime rate. But Philadelphia are just like, this is a crapple.

SPEAKER_01 40:25

Like, it is a crapple. I've only been like once to a diner while I was on a road trip.

SPEAKER_03 40:30

So uh, but the cheesesteaks are exceptional. All right. Uh, really do like that. And um, so we need to add some. I made a chicken cheese steak that you'll see on the meal plan. So I'm not actually cooking it the week you're listening to it. I cooked it yesterday and they were delicious. They look delicious. They were so good. Um, so I would recommend you make that if you want to do the cheesesteak, but not do like the beef and like save some money. Although, if you use the right steak, you're actually not saving that much money.

SPEAKER_01 40:57

Nick asked, what should I make on this? Should it be chicken or what was the other option? Pork? Pork, I don't remember. Whatever, chicken or beef. And I was like, chicken. He's like, why did I even ask?

SPEAKER_03 41:07

Yeah, it looks funny. It's still good. It was really good, good flavor.

SPEAKER_01 41:10

Um, it's fun when we use chicken. And I don't ever think to use chicken. When you say cheesesteak, I'm like, don't care. It's not chicken. But yeah, so I'm pumped for that recipe. So check that one out. I couldn't pick it because I knew Nick would, but I did wait to pick my recipe because if Nick wasn't doing the cheesesteak, I thought he'd pick this one.

SPEAKER_03 41:26

This is a really good recipe.

SPEAKER_01 41:27

To kick off your week, um, one of the options is pineapple teriyurky teriyaki teriyaki pulled pork sandwiches. So not only do I love the picture on this recipe on our website, but this is like um my kids love pork. I was just having this conversation and I like feel fine about it, but I don't love the texture. So pulled pork, I'm happy with. The texture doesn't bother me as much as like a chunk of pork. So it plus all things teriyaki, always forever. I love you. So I think you can put teriyaki on anything.

SPEAKER_03 41:58

Have you made a bead uh bracelet yet?

SPEAKER_01 42:00

That says I love teriyaki. It's a very long bracelet. I have very terrifique. I love you. Teriaki, I heart you coming next week. So this sandwich is so great. Um, you can just like buy a cheater slaw to use on it, like buy the slaw, you know, the broccoli slaw of the bag, which is great. Put that with this like sweet and tangy. I don't know, is that the right way to describe it? Whatever. It's a good slow cooker meal. Meal tangy meal. Look at me, sweet and tangy. Slow cooker meal. Do it on Monday, have leftovers, yum. I want to eat it right now. So that's a good one. All right. It's time for kid cooker. This is gonna be so great. Uh, okay. So I'm gonna I'm gonna kick this off because what we haven't talked about much is St. Patrick's Day. We talked about our potatoes, but uh, okay, I don't know where to start. So I pick Elite up from school at, you know, mid-afternoon. And usually it's just a hi mom, and it's it's like the best part of the day, right? Because he's so excited. So on St. Patrick's Day, they were supposed to wear neon colors or white because they had gym that day, and the gym teacher is so cool at Central Dynasty and she's awesome. So she did like, we got a note home saying that the leprechauns had like taken over the gym and they turned out the lights and they were up in the rafters, whatever. So they had a black light in the gym, so like the kids would glow if they wore neon.

SPEAKER_03 43:24

So we used to do that when I was at the school. Really? But we had a little different game. I didn't go to this school where um, because it's like a carpeted small gym. It is not anymore. And um, there's like a landing, and the gym teacher would stand up there with um like the foam soccer balls, and he put up some like mats, and you had to run no, you had to run from one side of the gym to the other, and he would throw them at you. Okay, that's horrifying. Oh, it was so much fun.

SPEAKER_01 43:51

So much fun. Um, this was different. Um, but so I expected him to like come home raving about that, because we knew about that. Oh no. Instead, he runs outside, and if you're watching the video, he goes, A leprechaun came in our classroom. And he like jumped and did this. And I was like, What, Elliot? Like those were the first words he said to me. Apparently, a leprechaun came into their classroom, and the thing he he's like, he crumpled up paper everywhere, and he took Nora's shoes, or no, Nolan's shoes, and he peed green in the toilet. So what I didn't realize is we did um as a kid, and so I did this with my kids, leprechaun ladders. So like it was just this little, like, you know, whatever. We made a little leprechaun ladder, hung it on the mantle, and the leprechaun bounces up and leaves like a little green treat. Some gold coins and like a little green candy, whatever. That's what I did for my kids. Well, so instead, so that was, you know, Tuesday night into Wednesday. Elliot comes home from school on Wednesday, and instead he's mad that we didn't trap a damn leprechaun. So apparently that's all the rage now that you have to trap a leprechaun. So they don't come up a ladder, which I thought, like, listen, I was barely gonna do that, but my mom encouraged me too, which I'm glad she did. I did that and I was so excited. I know she's like, Well, what about your leprechaun ladder? I'm like, I'm not doing that shit. And she's like, I just didn't, I didn't have it in me. So she like, you know, cut out the pieces for me and was like, okay, I'll do it. Fine. So anyway, yeah. Instead, he's like, Mom, why are we the only people that didn't do a leprechaun trap? I'm like, I'm sorry, Elliot.

SPEAKER_03 45:23

Because we're Irish and we love leprechauns, so we made ladders for them instead of trapping them.

SPEAKER_01 45:27

I just don't know the story anymore. So like I gotta catch up. And all of my friends with younger kids, I'll fill you in.

SPEAKER_03 45:32

Yeah, fill me in.

SPEAKER_01 45:34

It was hilarious. So anyway, it was a fun St. Patrick's Day.

unknown 45:36

Wonderful.

SPEAKER_03 45:37

Yeah. Um, I teased this earlier. Oh man. Uh so daylight savings time. We thought we were smart. Actually, I shouldn't say we, I should say my wife, Sarah. She is smart. She did a good plan to get Simmo ready for the shifting bedtime. We are a big routine with the bedtime, works out well for us. She went to sleep. And since daylight savings time, she's sleeping to like 7.30. That's brilliant. Which is great, but also she goes to school at 7.30. So it's a little like, yeah, yeah, Simmo, you gotta get up. And so the other day, I think it was Tuesday, I usually we don't set an alarm because she wakes us up. Because we have kids. And um I kind of wake up and I'm like Oh my god, that whole thing. I'm like, oh, it's still dark out because stupid daylight savings time. Oh, it's gonna be like five o'clock. And I look at the clock, it's like, oh, it's 6 45. I start looking around, and Sarah's not anywhere. So I'm like, uh, she must be like doing some work. Okay. So I go in and take a shower. Oh, actually, first I check the baby cam, and Zimo is passed out. Like, passed out, curled up in a ball. She's got her blankie next to her, she's got three passes, she's got a passie in the mouth, she's got one in her hand, she's got one next to her. I'm like, Oh funny. Alright, I'm gonna go take a shower. So I shower, get out. It's you know, like 655, take a look at the baby monitor. She now has a blanky under her head, a blanky in her hand, and a blankie over her head. How many blankets does she have? Three. She usually like strategically spaces them out so she can like roll around in the crib.

SPEAKER_00 47:16

Get a blanket whenever.

SPEAKER_03 47:17

So like one's always, you know, it's like the other side of the pill is so cool. Oh, you know, so like she can go get a cool side of the bed, a cool, you know, she's small enough. It's it's smart. I actually'm very proud of her. Very smart. 7:15. We're like, we got she's gotta get dressed, we gotta feed her breakfast, she's gotta go to school. We both had like eight o'clock meetings.

SPEAKER_01 47:34

We're like always when you have an eight o'clock meeting.

SPEAKER_03 47:36

Come on, monster, get up. Yeah. So Sarah literally walks in. Simona, good morning. Nothing. Snoring, literal snoring. Okay? Turn off the sound machine. Nothing. That usually because she usually goes like, I like that. What are you doing? Why are you turning it off? Uh mom. Open the blinds. Nothing. Turn on the lights. Nothing. Pick her up. It's like when they fall asleep in the car and you get them out and they're like on the shoulder thing.

SPEAKER_01 48:14

Change her out. Come on. She stayed asleep. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 48:19

I wish. So we finally, like, when we had her sitting, like holding her standing upright and like putting the like shirt over her that she finally woke up.

SPEAKER_01 48:29

Man, it's killing you too, man.

SPEAKER_03 48:31

Ray, we were talking about this. Yes. I just was like, I wish I had this on camera. I wish her monitor was recording. That was such a bummer because it was like, uh, this is great and hilarious, but also, I gotta be.

SPEAKER_01 48:46

Yes, I know. But I keep saying, Nick and I were saying, like, we're exhausted, but our kids are sleeping in, so we're sleeping later. I'm like, but somehow we're still so tired. I don't understand why we do this to ourselves. I know. Where did we say we have to move so we don't have to deal with this? Half of Indiana?

SPEAKER_01 50:20

And we're hoping maybe some new things on this podcast. I know this is actually in my head, I wasn't saying it out loud. Those were my exact thoughts. I was like, can we announce new things? We have a lot of fun stuff. We love to plan, as you know. So we are taking our We even stole planners from our old. We even stole stole planners from our so um normally last January we did a planning day that you know went to shit. No. The universe said, ha ha ha. Planning two and a half days. Like we rent a conference room, rip it all apart, and break it down. So we have theme days. We like have to wear my Steve Car jerseys. So uh we're doing that next week, and we're super, super excited because we feel like we're at a time where we can hopefully plan again. COVID's over. Oh, sure, sure. Um so anyway, we're doing that next week, and hopefully we can announce some super fun things after we get through planning everything. So maybe it'll be like an Easter treat.
