Oreo Taste Off with Melissa Jordan - Dinner Plus Drinks #109

SPEAKER_00 0:14

We promised a big guest for this week's episode. Big, huge. And I don't think there's any bigger guest than me. One and only, Melissa Jordan.

SPEAKER_03 0:25

One and only. Welcome, Melissa. How are you?

SPEAKER_02 0:30

Um overwhelmed? No, I'm good. This is great. I'm excited. Because I love dinner plus drinks, but I don't think I'm as exciting as people are anticipating. So we'll see.

SPEAKER_00 0:43

You are the biggest host of Milwaukee's biggest radio station. I don't know. It's B93. And you're you're you're didn't you kick off the Christmas music? I mean, you're kind of a big deal, Melissa.

SPEAKER_02 0:56

Oh, well, I appreciate you saying that. I'm gonna let you continue to say it.

SPEAKER_03 1:00

I'm never gonna say that. I mean, you're like meeting a celebrity to me. 93.3 just speaks to my Christmas soul and plays music all the time. I listened to it since, I don't know, the day you switched. I'm a Christmas music as long as you can person.

unknown 1:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:15

I also like the everything.

SPEAKER_02 1:16

Can I tell you something funny?

SPEAKER_03 1:17

Oh, please.

SPEAKER_02 1:20

Oh, uh, that when we put out those Christmas cards, yes. I do all of those and I saw all of the addresses, and I was like, wow, one Lake Geneva address. This is interesting. I looked it up. It's me. Or no, I think I text Nick and I asked. I said, What's Bridget's address?

SPEAKER_03 1:38

This is her. That's hilarious because this all happened in the same week. I was like, Nick, when do they switch over to Christmas music? And it was like the day you guys switched. And I just happened to ask, it was also probably right when I got the card. I don't know. I don't remember, but yeah, very funny. Love that card, nothing butt cakes in there. Yum.

SPEAKER_02 1:56

Yeah. I mean, did you even get a chance to use them? It's kind of a drive.

SPEAKER_03 2:00

Uh yeah, but there's one on the way to Kenosha, and I was going there for something, so I did get the nothing butt cakes. There you go.

SPEAKER_02 2:07

Perfect.

SPEAKER_03 2:08

So, anyway, thank you for taking time to be with us. So excited.

SPEAKER_02 2:12

Um, for those of you I am very excited about this.

SPEAKER_03 2:16

Yeah, and so we um, you know, if you're an avid listener, you know that we always open a drink at the beginning of the podcast, but we're recording remotely, so we had to figure out a way to get Melissa all of her drinks. And don't worry, we did. We figured it out.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

We have four different pre-made cocktails. Frequent listeners know Bridget hates canned cocktails. Yes. These, though, are not canned, they're actually jarred. They come from uh Hublin, Huberin company that makes many cocktail, many alcoholic brands, such as 1792, uh Wheatley Vodka, Myers Dark Rum. Myers Dark Rum. So we have a dirty martini, a Mai Thai, a 1792, uh, 1792 Manhattan, 1792 old fashioned. We're gonna try these and we're gonna make Melissa be the tiebreaker if they suck or not. No pressure. Welcome to the show.

SPEAKER_03 3:11

I I would like you all to know that I delivered Melissa's cocktails in like lotion can like travel lotion or travel shampoo containers. They're like little two-ounce plastic jars, and they're the best.

SPEAKER_02 3:25

In the funniest way she delivered them too. True. Because I was with one of my coworkers and I was like, hey, while we're recording, someone's gonna come in and she's gonna drop off a package. She's like, Who is she? I go, um, Bridget. I don't know a ton about her.

SPEAKER_03 3:44

So, like a drug dealer, I dropped off Yes. Yes, it was so weird. Everyone in the restaurant looked at me like I was insane. I'm like, is Melissa Jordan here? She's recording, and they're like, Yeah, we'll take you to the back, to the back room. I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna drop this and run away. Which is exactly what I did. So I think we should start. I didn't want to interrupt you. I'm like, I'm very distracting. So here we are, guys. We made it.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

I think we should start with the Mai Thai. Okay made with Meyer's original dark rum.

SPEAKER_03 4:20

Yeah, it's this like peachy color. Yeah, there you go. Plastic cheers over there. Bottoms up. I smelled this one already. Let me unscrew this. You gotta unscrew. I did color coordinate. It's purple. It was the most Hawaiian-looking one.

SPEAKER_02 4:36

Smells alright.

SPEAKER_03 4:39

It's better than a canned cocktail. Oh, yeah, for sure. Way better than a canned.

SPEAKER_04 4:43

So strong. It's 20%.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

I mean, uh, the boys in my house, just kidding. The one boy in my house, my dad and my husband are fans of Meyer Starkrum. So, you know, I don't know what to say about that.

SPEAKER_00 4:57

Thumbs up or thumbs down, Melissa.

SPEAKER_02 4:59

Thumbs up. I like that one. And can I just let you guys know that I am breaking my dry January news?

SPEAKER_00 5:05

Whoa! See, we told you you're the real deal, everybody. You will do anything for a podcast segment, and man, do we love you for it?

SPEAKER_02 5:13

Oh, good for you. I was talking to uh my husband John about it because we did a taste test Tuesday too, and I accidentally drank a mimosa, and I was like, Well, it's for my job.

SPEAKER_00 5:22

I am my boss is so mean. Can I ask how you accidentally drank a mimosa? Thought it was orange juice duh.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

Because we went to a place called mimosa, and I wasn't thinking. I was like, we have to have a mimosa mimosa.

SPEAKER_00 5:36

Oops.

SPEAKER_02 5:36

And then after we left, I was like, oh shoot, that dry January. Whoops.

SPEAKER_03 5:41

Well, we're glad to continue the not streak of dry January.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

Do we want to? I'm thinking we end with the dirty martini because I know Bridget's more of a white liquor girl, so maybe end strong. Um, so let's do the old-fashioned.

SPEAKER_03 5:55

I'm really dreading these two, I'll tell you that.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

They're ice cold though, so they'll be fine.

SPEAKER_03 6:00

They've been in my trunk and it's like one degree out. I know not. Ooh, warm old fashioned. Yeah, that's that's far more than I need.

SPEAKER_00 6:08

This is made with bourbon whiskey 1792, crafted with bourbon by 1792, with bourbon whiskey, bitters, and artificial colors.

SPEAKER_03 6:17

Oh, delicious. But how strong it is, like 35%.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

35%. Yeah, it's good.

SPEAKER_03 6:22

It's good. Yeah, that face is exactly what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_00 6:24

We don't have to pick up our kids for a while yet.

SPEAKER_03 6:27

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 6:28

I'm just gonna screw this lid back on here.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

Holy crap, did you sip that? Oh, this is good. This is if you like bourbon, this is good. Like it's a very bourbon-y old fashioned, I will say that. It made me cough in the microphone, so you're welcome, everybody.

SPEAKER_03 6:42

Oh, I mean, yeah, okay. I can imagine if you like bourbon, it just tastes like a glass of bourbon.

SPEAKER_00 6:48

Down the hatch.

SPEAKER_02 6:50

Uh so what do you think? There's no sweetness, there's no bitters, there's no sour in there, I got no orange, I got no cherry, it's just bourbon.

SPEAKER_03 6:58

I'm really thankful to have her with me on Team Bridget.

SPEAKER_00 7:01

You are a transplant to Wisconsin. We'll we'll probably get into that more later. But what how do you feel about old fashions? Are you a bourbon old-fashioned, a rye whiskey old-fashioned, a uh what do people put it? Brandy. Do you are you into the the the old fashions?

SPEAKER_02 7:20

Um if anything, it's gonna be brandy. Honestly, I'm a spiced rum kind of person when it comes to a dark liquor, but I don't think they make spice rums old-fashioned, do they?

unknown 7:32

I think they could.

SPEAKER_03 7:33

I don't know. I honestly am always too scared to order them because there's like 95 ways, and so I just don't.

SPEAKER_00 7:38

And bartenders get mad about it.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

I like all of the grandeur that goes into it. Oh, we gotta muddle this, and then they put the garnish on there. Like, I like the tradition, but it's just me, really.

SPEAKER_03 7:52

So, are you a clear liquor person?

SPEAKER_02 7:56

I like tequila.

SPEAKER_03 7:57

Excellent.

SPEAKER_02 7:59

Great. I'm not fancy.

SPEAKER_03 8:01

Hey, same.

SPEAKER_04 8:03

Time for a mannequin.

SPEAKER_03 8:06

We like beer here. We should have maybe just gone with beer today.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

Maybe we could have got some uh some selection of of beers from The Mitten and enjoyed those. Just a little taste of it. Alright, so this is the Manhattan expertly crafted cocktail since 1892, crafted with bourbon by 1792. That seems a little strange. It's made with bourbon whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. No artificial color on this one.

SPEAKER_03 8:35

Really?

SPEAKER_00 8:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:36

Actually, that's true. On this one? On this one. Tyler had a Manhattan at a restaurant, looked exactly like this. Um, this one smells better than the old fashioned.

SPEAKER_00 8:46

This one is better than the old-fashioned.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

It is less abrasive. This one has still not my style.

SPEAKER_00 8:50

Melissa said it. The other one was just bourbon. None of the other stuff. This one has the other stuff.

SPEAKER_03 8:55

Yep, but not a thing I like to drink. I'm not really getting the other stuff.

SPEAKER_02 9:01

Oh, good.

SPEAKER_00 9:04

It is vermouth and bitters. So not a lot of other stuff. What's John doing? Is he working? Bring him in. See if he thinks he gets the other stuff.

unknown 9:14

John!

SPEAKER_02 9:15

Come, I have a cocktail! John! He's doing dry January too, though. We'll see.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

But I think if we ask, you know.

SPEAKER_03 9:23

Can't say no to us. You guys are better people than us. We've discussed previously on the podcast how we're unable to do that. Can't do it. Hmm. He's ignoring us on purpose. Okay, clear liquor it is.

SPEAKER_02 9:38

This it's gonna take a while.

SPEAKER_00 9:39

Sure, can we always add it?

SPEAKER_03 9:41

We're gonna do a we're gonna pour an ice cold dirty martini in the meantime. Yeah, you want me to just rinse out your manhattan to drink my lukewarm one?

SPEAKER_00 9:50

Yeah, bless you.

SPEAKER_03 9:52

Well, you want more than me.

SPEAKER_00 9:54

I'm not a big martini person. I don't like olives. Uh did you watch Gossip Girl? Yeah. So remember when uh it's like the first episode and young girl is going to the party and they're like, Would you like a martini? And she's like, Oh no, thank you. I don't drink vodka. And she's like, uh, well, good, because we make ours with gin, obviously.

SPEAKER_03 10:14

Oh, I don't remember that.

SPEAKER_00 10:16

That is how I feel about martinis. They should be made with gin.

SPEAKER_03 10:19

I like vodka and gin.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

Oh, let's let's they want they want to know if they'll if you'll break your dry January so you can try this Manhattan and give your honest male opinion fancy martinis or fancy cocktails.

SPEAKER_00 10:35

Sure.

SPEAKER_02 10:35

Oh, what a team player!

SPEAKER_00 10:37

Oh team player.

SPEAKER_04 10:39

Smells great.

SPEAKER_00 10:40

The bouquet is excellent.

SPEAKER_04 10:42

Are we doing this all at once or no?

SPEAKER_00 10:44

I'm already trying. We already did it.

SPEAKER_03 10:46

You need to be the took out like a champ.

SPEAKER_02 10:52

Can you taste anything other than what was it? Vermouth and bitter?

SPEAKER_04 10:57

You shouldn't be strong.

SPEAKER_03 10:58

Very strong.

SPEAKER_04 10:59

Smooth, which is kind of nice. That's what I like about it.

SPEAKER_03 11:03

Yeah, bourbon, whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. Look at you didn't gag, which is better than me.

SPEAKER_02 11:08

A little too sweet, he says. What? Oh, what? What?

SPEAKER_04 11:12

What? Oh shit, John. Yeah. It's a weird little taste. Yeah, because it's a pre-mixed cocktail.

SPEAKER_02 11:21

John's high above us. He thinks it's sweet. Well, all right.

SPEAKER_03 11:29

My palate was not cleansed.

SPEAKER_00 11:31

We're we're one for three so far.

SPEAKER_02 11:34

Look at that. Dry January done.

SPEAKER_00 11:36

You guys may as well call it on Friday, January 21st.

SPEAKER_03 11:40

So close. Just like add a week in February, okay? And blame it on the job. Or just blame it on the we sing at least once per episode. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:49

I know you like to sing. Join in.

unknown 11:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 11:53

I'll do it. Dirty martini time?

SPEAKER_00 11:55

Dirty martini time.

SPEAKER_03 11:56

Oh, it smells like dirty olives.

SPEAKER_00 11:58

Made with wheatly vodka, vermouth, and natural flavors. Natural flavors. Natural flavors.

SPEAKER_03 12:05

Wish this was literally any other kind of martini.

SPEAKER_00 12:12

It's not bad.

SPEAKER_02 12:13

Tastes like olives.

SPEAKER_03 12:14

I don't hate that.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

I don't get the strong olive thing. I just get the like vodka.

SPEAKER_03 12:19

I get like the vodka and then an dirty aftertaste.

SPEAKER_00 12:22

This is why I prefer my martinis made with gin.

SPEAKER_03 12:25

I prefer mine made with not olives. Something else. Well, that's how we like to kick off the podcast.

SPEAKER_00 12:34

Guys, we're gonna say probably no on these.

SPEAKER_03 12:38

Well, no, I will charge it. Yeah, and if you're gonna try and get a cocktail that's pre-mixed, uh, we've established that just make the damn cocktail yourself and put it in an L gene like we all did when we were in college, okay? But if you're gonna buy it in this, buy it in the fancy glass bottle as opposed to the can. This is better than canned cocktails. I would agree. It tastes less fake. I just don't like these cocktails. Weird. So that's my verdict. Yeah?

SPEAKER_00 13:05

Well, I think it's time to get to know Melissa a little bit better. If you listen to any of her incredible Pulitzer Prize Award-winning radio shows, you would know a lot about her. But maybe if you don't, you want to know who she is. So we have some get to know Melissa games organized by Bridget, which are of course the best games.

SPEAKER_03 13:28

I mean, I don't know. Okay. You play some good ones anytime. I love a good icebreaker. I come from a very corporate background, so you know, I did these a lot. Um, okay, I think we're gonna start with a good game of this or that. Just pretty easy things. Gotta know this or that. You ready? We're gonna hammer through a few.

SPEAKER_02 13:47

As long as we're not doing trust falls through the computer. I'm good.

SPEAKER_03 13:51

I hate trust falls. I agree with you on that. Clearly, I have issues. Okay, so we're gonna start with car or bike.

SPEAKER_02 14:03

I love the environment so much.

SPEAKER_03 14:07

This is a great way to start.

SPEAKER_02 14:10

And I love uh biking around my little neighborhood where I can do things really quickly, but I would never ever ever give up my car ever.

SPEAKER_03 14:18

Girl, thank you for being honest, okay? And whoever is like, yeah, I'm giving up my car. It was one degree yesterday, okay? So no, you weren't. Coffee or tea? Coffee. Oh, bless you. Gosh, are we each other? I think we're each other. Um, okay, wine or beer on the beverages.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

Beer. Sorry. Sorry. Fair enough. I like wine. I like wine, I do, but beer is so much easier.

SPEAKER_03 14:46

Oh, that's true. Okay. Would you rather be too hot or too cold? I love making you think.

SPEAKER_02 15:00

I'm always cold.

unknown 15:03

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

But like if you're too cold, you can put on more layers. And if you're too hot, like, once you're naked, that's it.

SPEAKER_00 15:09

I agree.

SPEAKER_03 15:10

This is my exact logic.

SPEAKER_00 15:12

Do you have a blanket at your desk at work?

SPEAKER_02 15:18

Uh, I have an extra fleece, and I do have a blanket. It's not like at my desk, but I can pull it out if absolutely necessary.

SPEAKER_00 15:28

Bridget has a blanket at her desk.

SPEAKER_03 15:30

And often keeps her winter coat on. Good. Yeah, it's always cold. And I'm I could go on and on, but I'm gonna not on my soapbox about this. Everybody's like, Bridget, where are you going? Bridget, just cold. Did you just get here? Like, I've been here for two hours, guys. Um, okay, okay. Time machine or magic wand. Harry Potter all day. Have you read all the books?

unknown 15:56

Harry Potter all day.

SPEAKER_02 15:57

Of course. Bridget, are you? I have not. Yes, I have. I know you don't know me, but I'm offended.

SPEAKER_03 16:04

I'm getting to know you right now with all of our listeners, okay? Disney World or Harry Potter World. I read them.

SPEAKER_02 16:12

Oh I've never been to Harry Potter World. But I'm going in 20 days. 20 days?

SPEAKER_03 16:23

Um.

SPEAKER_02 16:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:26

Yes. We gotta talk about Disney.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

That's actually we're going to Disney, and I'm taking one day at the wizarding world of Harry Potter, and I'm not bringing my kids, so I don't have to be distracted. I don't have to tell them anything about it.

SPEAKER_03 16:41

It's just for me. That's a power move. Okay, you know what? I'm gonna, I'm gonna go off script here. I need to understand this because I'm with you. If you know here, Nick is a uh Disney for adults person, goes without children to Disney. I'm a Disney for the for the children person. Screw the children. Like I've never been without children or being a child. Um, what are what is your opinion on this?

SPEAKER_02 17:03

So let me clarify that I am taking my kids' five-year-old and my one-year-old with me. Molly will be turning six February 12th and will be at the Magic Kingdom on her sixth birthday. Whoa. It's for her.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

Make sure you get the sticker that says it's her birthday. They'll go insane for her.

SPEAKER_02 17:25

Yes, I will do that. Um, but we are bringing all of John's family and my mom with us. It's gonna be 14 total. It's gonna be insane. Blessings. So on one of the days, we're like, kids, you're staying with grandma, and we are heading over to Universal and leaving them there. Okay so I can have fun too.

SPEAKER_03 17:44

I would like to say two things. Our children are basically the same age. I have a five-year-old that turns six in March, but my daughter's two.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

Also, your daughters share a name.

SPEAKER_03 17:54

And your daughter's name is Lucy. Yes, what? God, Nick, I feel like you needed to brief me.

SPEAKER_00 18:00

I thought it'd be more fun to just happen spontaneously.

SPEAKER_03 18:02

No, I had a daughter named Lucy. Melissa's got my home address. So much about you. I wrote you a Christmas card, damn it. You don't even know my kid's name. Oh shit. Okay, fine. Oh, we're I'm done with this or that. I was gonna keep going, but the Disney questions got me distracted.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

I have a question.

SPEAKER_03 18:20

Oh, okay, good.

SPEAKER_00 18:21

Go ahead. I know you're a huge Michael Jordan fan. When you were getting married and searching for potential mates, did you search for someone like John Jordan who had a J last name? Is that why you married John? So you could be MJ?

SPEAKER_03 18:35

Yep. Yeah, that's it. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 18:37

God bless John Jordan.

SPEAKER_03 18:38

But are you actually a Michael Jordan fan? No. No, don't care. I was like, let me tell you about my favorite basketball player. Have we done Giannis, right? I mean, good job as of recent, but my OG favorite basketball player is Steve Kerr of the 95 Championship Bulls. Yes. I don't know if he is. Sorry. Well, I was like, he coaches the Warriors now. I think he's I think he's done. Yeah, he was in a okay. I can't speak to this right now. I've I've fallen off of my Steve Kerr wagon because yes, I've fallen in love with Giannis instead. Okay. I admit it. Sports ball, it's fine. Sports ball. Okay, so not a big sports player. So you're not obsessed with soccer. I like Giannis. I like Giannis.

SPEAKER_02 19:20

Okay, great. But I like the idea of soccer and like how worldwide it is and how they sing and do all of that stuff, but no, I don't follow it at all. I like the scarves.

SPEAKER_03 19:32

Um, okay. I have a quick game of who what where. Okay. Who what where? Feels like I should sing it. Okay. You ready? Ready. Who, dead or alive, would you like to have dinner with? I know, I hate this question. Oh my grandma. Sorry. Okay, no, I I as I was writing this, I'm like, oh, it's gonna get sentimental because that's I agree. I'd like, you know, it is. Yeah, it's not to be a famous person.

SPEAKER_02 19:55

Sure, like plenty of famous people, but Alice, I need you back in my life.

SPEAKER_03 19:59

But also, grandma, good answer. Um, I need to know what TV shows you're binging right now.

SPEAKER_02 20:08

Um, we just started watching Abbott Elementary, which is pretty good. Um, that's on Hulu. Actually, a really good show is That's My Jam. Jimmy Fallon hosts it, and then he has all celebrity guests, and they like get to flex their musical muscles like John Legend and Chance the Rapper, Josh Groben, like, and they go against each other. It's a little bit too long. Um, it should be 45 minutes instead of an hour. And Jimmy Fallon does his thing where he makes it all about him the entire time, but it's entertaining.

SPEAKER_03 20:40

Okay, that's great. I always need a new show. Too much. Too much. You've done it.

SPEAKER_00 20:45

Do you think Chance the Rapper would be a rapper if his parents didn't name him Chance the Rapper? Bad dad joke.

SPEAKER_03 20:52

Too early. What is a real name?

SPEAKER_00 20:55

It's a Zach Galfanakis asked him that on the Between Two Ferns they did, and it recently came into an Instagram story that I saw, and it was like one of the like, oh, I love this thing.

SPEAKER_03 21:06

Nope. I'm calling it a bad dad joke.

SPEAKER_00 21:09

No, it's a Zach Galfanakis Between Two Ferns joke.

SPEAKER_03 21:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 21:14

Well, you guys. I asked at a chance to go to Lollapalooza two years ago, and it was man, who was it? My chemical romance? No, no, no, no. Postal service. Postal service service was on a stage together, and Chance the Rapper joined them. Whoa. And like I almost got ran over because there's just herds and masses of people, and it was really cool. And it like gives me street creds because I've been like, yeah, I've seen Chance the Rapper.

SPEAKER_03 21:43

Oh, at Lala. I saw him at Lala.

SPEAKER_00 21:45

Do you play Chance the Rapper on a regular basis on B933?

SPEAKER_02 21:50

All the time.

SPEAKER_00 21:52

From 80s to today, Nick. Start with I'm Melissa Jordan. I know Chance the Rapper personally. I've seen him. We've Been we've been we've been hanging. I almost got crushed, and here you go. It's Chance the Rapper, B933.

SPEAKER_03 22:07

You're basically hired.

unknown 22:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:09

Um, okay, that's exactly what I say every day.

SPEAKER_03 22:12

I'm recording that and using it as an intro. Um, we have to finish the where of who, what, where, and then we're moving on to funny drunk stories, Melissa. Um, I need to know where your dream holiday destination is.

SPEAKER_02 22:25

I've holiday into Iceland lately. Oh. Have you been? About it a lot because everybody seem no. Okay. Everybody seems to go there, but definitely Greece is for sure number one destination. You could go with Giannis. You could meet Giannis's family. Right? Maybe. Buddying it up with number 34 is good.

SPEAKER_00 22:48

We have a very good friend that is like hired by Greece or by Iceland to promote Iceland. And he posts all these disgustingly beautiful pictures of Iceland.

SPEAKER_03 22:57

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 22:58

I want to go.

SPEAKER_03 22:59

He's basically hired by Iceland.

SPEAKER_02 23:01

I wonder Up to like Up to a year ago, I never would have wanted to go to Iceland, but it seems like everyone I know goes there and there's beautiful photos and Jeff probably took environmentally friendly and it's great.

SPEAKER_03 23:14

I agree with you. Probably.

SPEAKER_00 23:16

You know, my first He did our cover art, so you know, we share something with Iceland.

SPEAKER_03 23:20

He did. Our cover art was almost as important as those Iceland tourist photos.

SPEAKER_00 23:24

Much more important. Much more budget, too.

SPEAKER_03 23:27

Uh yeah, a little bit, a little different budget, but that's fine. Great job, Jeff. Thanks. Um, okay. I promised the listeners in a brief teaser 60 seconds ago for a drunk story. Because you see, I did something last night that reminded me of my younger days when I drank a lot more. And it got me to thinking that I bet you have a great drunk story for us to tell us.

SPEAKER_02 23:53

I have a really good buzzed story. Or like I've had a couple drinks, but I'm still okay to drive story. Is that okay? That is beautiful.

SPEAKER_00 24:02

Does work too.

SPEAKER_02 24:02

That's how much you guys love wine. We do. And uh I don't get to go to a lot of fancy events. So when I say this, don't be like, oh yeah, Melissa Jordan. She's a big MF indeal. Food and wine.

SPEAKER_03 24:18

Yes, at the Fester, right? So you know about this. You've been to it? I used to work for the Marcus Corporation. So yes is the short answer. So I have done many of those events, yes.

SPEAKER_02 24:32

It's one of my favorite events, but it's the only fancy event I go to, I swear. And I've been to it a couple times. This year is the first time John could ever go to me with me. And uh it was a lot smaller, right? COVID blah blah blah. Etc. Thanks, China. When you walk in, they give you right. When you walk in, they give you these wine glasses that say etched in the glass, Vince Lombardi food and wine gala. And John's like, oh, these are great. I love these glasses. I'm gonna take them home. I'm like, no, we're not. We will not. And uh as we go around, like there's food vendors where you get to try a little bit and you take a little drink, and you try a little bit and you take a little drink, but it feels fancy because you're at the fister. Sure does. And the whole time he's just talking about these wine glasses. I'm like, what are we gonna do with them, John? Display them in our already like full of wine glass thing that we don't use. Like, is that what we're gonna do?

SPEAKER_03 25:38

Yes, that's exactly what you're gonna do.

SPEAKER_02 25:42

Unfortunately. So we're leaving, and he's like, I got the wine glasses. I'm like, Don't you take those line glasses? And he's like, Yeah, I'm gonna take them. I'm gonna take them. And he takes them, and they're clinking all the way back to the car and whatever, it's fine. And we get in the car, I'm driving, right? And we're getting on the highway. It's this little area where you're at a stoplight, and when you go through it, you're on the highway ramp. Do you know what I'm talking about? I know what you're talking about. Okay, so we're at this stoplight, and John, who is very funny, is getting dumb, begrudgingly funny. So much, I start choking, and the light turns green, and I start going on the highway, and I'm coughing and choking, and he's like, Are you gonna throw up? Are you gonna throw up while you're driving? Oh and I'm just nodding my head like you. Yes, I am. I am. No. He hands me that wine glass. You did not barf in it. As I'm driving down the highway, I just start puking into this wine glass. Not because I'm drunk, but because I'm choking. It's so weird. And I'm trying to be safe. Oh my god! He's holding the wheel, and I'm just like wow. And it's like to hear, right?

SPEAKER_03 27:21

And she has she has a prop for everybody of the wine glass.

SPEAKER_02 27:26

I don't know if you know like that stretch of 94, but you can't just get off the highway right there. So I just hand John this glass, so he's holding this wine glass hole in my puke while we're doing dude.

SPEAKER_03 27:40

That is love. I would have, sorry for the environment, chucked it out the window.

SPEAKER_00 27:43

Oh, it's good for the environment. It's animals can eat it.

SPEAKER_02 27:47

Yeah, because you're like in five lanes of traffic. You're on the highway? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:50

Go to the right lane.

SPEAKER_02 27:52

Come back on your car. It's gonna be disgusting.

SPEAKER_03 27:54

In a car wash, you probably needed one anyway. I would argue that holding a wine glass of vomit is disgusting.

unknown 28:03

You're right.

SPEAKER_03 28:04

You're right. Wow. Wow.

SPEAKER_02 28:06

So we get off and he, you know, just like chucks the vomit and uses a bottle of water and cleans out the lip. Because yeah, we still have both of them. And they're prominently displayed in our little cabinet because it's funny now and we have a story to tell about it.

SPEAKER_03 28:23

I want to die. Do you know how averse to vomit I am? Did you know that before telling this story? I don't know that about you. Well, now you do, and I'm so glad he brought that wine glass in as a prop because you showing us just how full it was of puke really made the story.

SPEAKER_00 28:38

Bridget, I think you should share a drunk story.

SPEAKER_03 28:41

I ever have you over. This is your This is my I'm I'm staying sober. No drinking for me. No, I'm not, I was not prepared to tell a drunk story. I would have to think. And also, I have Jimmy Buffett on the brain because of the thing I did last night. So I'm like, that was my most recent, or those were my drunk stories in my brain.

SPEAKER_00 28:59

Ah, yes. You went to uh the fireside and saw the Buffett.

SPEAKER_03 29:03

Yes. Tune into Amoose Boosh to learn more about it. It was fascinating. Um, Melissa, have you been to the fireside? Do you know what the fireside is?

SPEAKER_02 29:12

One time, yep.

SPEAKER_03 29:13

Yeah, it's a unique experience. Um, I always make fun of it, but it is fun. Um, my dad, my mom gifted my dad some tickets to a Jimmy Buffett tribute band, and my sisters and my dad, or my sister and my dad and I went last night, and it was an experience. Uh, so you have to listen to a moose boosh to hear about it. That's all I'm gonna say.

SPEAKER_00 29:32

Now that uh we know a little bit more about Melissa, I'd like to talk a little bit about our weeks too. We'd like to talk a little bit about our weeks. Do we? Yep, I got a story to tell that I haven't I haven't told you yet because I knew you were gonna laugh at this. And Melissa, you're gonna laugh too. So I've had uh I've had a week, not like bad necessarily, just draining. We're we're trying to hire a bunch of people. So I've had a ton of interviews, we're doing a lot of stuff, uh, I'm a little sick. I don't have COVID. I've taken a bunch of tests, not just the the you know, like drink a bottle of wine, do you smell it test that we did last week? Uh like I I don't have COVID. Anyway, but I'm sick, so I'm tired and whatever. So Wednesday night, I got out of work kind of, you know, a little early. I'm gonna make dinner. I'm all excited, and I'm like, you know what? The snow has melted, the fields are frozen, it brings me joy to drive across the field from work to my house. That's a weird thing. So I and also there's a line of cars getting out. Some I live literally 400 feet from work, and sometimes it takes me six minutes because of all the cars, and I don't like it.

SPEAKER_03 30:40

You should walk. Well the environment by your bike.

SPEAKER_00 30:43

I do walk in the summer when it's not, you know, negative 10. So I'm driving across the field. I'm like, this is good. This is good. There's a small little snowbank between the field that work is and my house is. I'm like, eh, we'll be fine. I'll pop the Tiguan.

SPEAKER_02 31:00

What are you driving, by the way?

SPEAKER_00 31:01

My Tiguan. All-wheel drive, pop it into snow mode.

SPEAKER_03 31:05

Snow mode.

SPEAKER_00 31:06

Boom. Get stuck.

SPEAKER_03 31:07

Weird.

SPEAKER_00 31:08

Got stuck.

SPEAKER_03 31:09

A low-to-the-ground SUV.

SPEAKER_00 31:10

And it was because the stupid snow is like all windswept and you know, like crusty. I'm like, eh, it's no big deal. I'm gonna go get my dad's truck and pull this out. Of course, though, I have Smash Burgers that are gonna be ready, and Mitchell, my little brother-in-law, is coming out, and Sarah's looking forward to them. So I had to call Sarah and be like, hey, just so you know, car's stuck in the snow. Um, it's gonna be fine. We're gonna pull it out real fast, but dinner's probably gonna be like 10 minutes late. That didn't go real well.

SPEAKER_03 31:38

Yeah, I bet she was like, hey, you dummy, why'd you drive it in the field?

SPEAKER_00 31:41

I it makes me happy. I was having a bad day, having a rough time. It makes me happy. Uh, but we we Nick's self-care.

SPEAKER_02 31:49

Yes, yeah, there you go.

SPEAKER_00 31:50

Thank you, Melissa. Thank you. That's exactly what it is. Team Sarah. Get my dad's truck. Takes us like five minutes to pull it out. Very simple, very easy. He just kind of laughs at me. He comes over for Smash Burgers, everything's good. But yeah, I got my car. That's how's your week going? I got my car stuck in the snow because it made me happy. Voluntarily. It was no big deal. Moving on. It's life.

SPEAKER_03 32:16

That's that feels like it should be an analogy for something.

SPEAKER_00 32:19

It feels like it's kind of a summation of Nick's life. He just goes and does stupid stuff when he knows like he can bail himself out of it.

SPEAKER_03 32:25

Voluntarily put myself in a questionable situation and got stuck. Feels like I need to like there's a like a voiceover narrator, but I just don't know what he's saying yet.

SPEAKER_00 32:34

My therapist would have a lot to say about the situation and tell me, Nick, we've discussed this and you probably should stop doing stuff like that. We've we've talked about this. But you know.

SPEAKER_02 32:44

Here we are. That seems a little judgy on your therapist. Like, don't drive through the field, even though you can and you can get yourself out of it. Like, it's not really any mental.

SPEAKER_03 32:55

Feels like you could have made worse decisions.

SPEAKER_00 32:57

I mean, I had a backup plan. That's this is my point. This is what I told Sarah. So it's not a big deal. And she said, Well, you know, blah blah blah. Well, it's she had a good point. Logic, logic. I just think it's a good, you know, like women-men thing.

SPEAKER_03 33:08

Probably you guys would have done that. Uh, I definitely never would have voluntarily driven through a field covered in a foot of snow.

SPEAKER_00 33:15

There was no snow on the field. That's the thing. It was just one snowbank between the fields. Okay, I could hear what you're saying. I'll show you it. I can show you it right now. After this is done, I will open you a bottle of Cabernet. Why? These dirty martinis in a can are so good. Can we hear about so we were about six minutes late starting today. And uh I promised Melissa the story, and I I don't have the full update yet. So, can we get the update? Because I think everybody should know how big, how important this is to you, what you're sacrificing.

SPEAKER_03 33:48

I don't know if I can tell the full story because it has like really uh fucked me up this week. So I um have had some dental issues this week um with my front tooth. So, yes, you see, they're totally great now. Not great, but they're fine.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

You can't, you're actually blurry.

SPEAKER_03 34:06

I can't see your teeth. Great, so they look great. So, luckily, a very good friend of mine is a dentist. Um, but in high school, uh, I was playing soccer. It was a JV game, and there was someone not five feet away from me, and I got nailed in the face with a soccer ball, and it broke my tooth. Um, so I have had uh my front tooth, which I like forgot about. Like it's been a million years since I've been in high school, so there was a cap that you need sometimes. Yes, yes. It's an important one. Um, so I have never been more grateful for masks than I was this week. So there's been a cap on it, no problem. Like, I forgot it existed, I forgot it was a cap.

SPEAKER_02 34:46

Bridget, stop when I met you. Did you have that mask on? Because you're because I had an issue.

SPEAKER_03 34:53

So that's where I had to go. Also, I've never been to that restaurant to know if they required masks. That's the thing. I never know anymore. So it was like such a great excuse, right? I have the tooth. I had the tooth that day still.

SPEAKER_02 35:08

Um like in your pocket.

SPEAKER_03 35:10

No, it was in my mouth still, but not for long. Um, yeah, so I'm gonna keep it short because it's embarrassing and I'm like stressed out talking about it. My hands are getting sweaty. Um, but yeah, I've had all since um, well, so Sunday night I was flossing and I'm like, oh shit, something happened and it like felt loose. And I'm like, this is something's wrong. And I talked to my friend the next morning who owns, she's a dentist. She owns her own place here, her own dental practice. Um dental shop? Her dental shop. Oh, her dental shop. And I was like, girl, you gotta fit me in. Something's wrong. And she's like, I she's jam-packed this week. And so she couldn't see me till today at 10. So then, yeah, after I saw you, I was like, Well, Laura fell out. So what do you want me to do now? Like, so we went, she referred me to someone else. They got it temporarily fixed for a day. It got fucked up again last night. And so, anyway, I just spent two, maybe two and a half hours at the dentist before this, getting it fixed again.

SPEAKER_00 36:08

You should have bribed bribed her with some walleye. She's a big walleye person. I bet she would have fit you in if you would have said, like, here's 10 pounds of walleye. Let's go.

SPEAKER_03 36:17

So her dad actually helped out this morning for the first hour. Her dad is like trying to retire, but they are both dentists. So yeah, they tag teamed it. Like the A team tag teamed it today. I was like, I gotta go by 11:30. I gotta be somewhere at noon. They're like, uh, okay, I'm like, yeah, but also you can't like leave this half done. So if I'm gonna be late, just like let me text Nick. I have a very important work meeting. I'm like, we have a guest on the podcast today because they listen to the podcast.

unknown 36:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 36:43

So anyway, I've had a shit week and it like really just hit me like I was like, oh my God, all these adult things. You're suddenly like, I have to deal with all this shit that hasn't been an issue for years. So honestly, I had a full-on meltdown about it on Wednesday. I'm just gonna throw that out there. But here we are drinking martinis out of plastic cups, and I'm doing better. I have a tooth, and Laura's a great dentist. So Dr. Lux, everybody.

SPEAKER_00 37:07

Dr. Lux actually won an award. Did you know that Dr. Lux won an award?

SPEAKER_03 37:14

For what?

SPEAKER_00 37:14

Yeah, she got a little plaque out of it. Oh my god. I'm like, why do you know what awards Laura's won? Oh, Nick. Um, we're gonna take a little break, guys, and we'll be right back. Right back.

SPEAKER_03 37:39

We're back. Hello, everybody. We're back. We're back. Um, it's product recommendation time here, and I can't wait to hear what Melissa and Nick have come up with because Nick did not fill out his outline like he should have. Yeah, I'm a failure. But in my household, we're all about Lego. We are at Lego. It's not Legos, as Nick has corrected me. Lego is the plural. Melissa, are you guys in Lego at your house or no?

SPEAKER_02 38:06

Um, if I could just move this just a little bit and show you. Oh, okay. This is uh Hogwarts Castle. I see, yes. But honestly, that's the only really big one we have. Are you into Harry Potter?

SPEAKER_03 38:19

Just like a couple Toy Story ones. Yes. Ooh, Toy Story ones. I love Toy Story. It's it's been a new thing this Christmas, really. It's really when it's ramped up in our house. And so we are in the Lego storage game right now. What? I can't see.

SPEAKER_00 38:35

I pulled up my Facebook to look for ideas for my product recommendation because I have like some safe stuff. And what is the first thing that shows up? It is a video of Melissa Jordan B933. With Facebook is listening to us.

SPEAKER_02 38:51

Milwaukee with kids, right?

SPEAKER_03 38:53

She's great. Oh yes, I love Milwaukee with kids. Um, okay. Can we go back to my Lego product, please?

SPEAKER_01 38:59

Sorry.

SPEAKER_03 39:00

It's very important for any moms listening out there or adults that like to do Legos, which I've learned I'm one of those adults. Anyway, um, we need Lego storage, right? We're working on a renovation on our house, so we don't have like our dream Lego table situation yet, but I also am too cheap to like go to the container store. But you know what I'm not too cheap for? IKEA. So I was at IKEA the other day, and they have these perfect, like, I bought the clear ones instead of the obnoxious colors, and they look like a giant Lego brick and they fit. So we're in a moment where my kid builds all the vehicles, builds like free builds vehicles, and then doesn't want to break them down. So, like we're using every single Lego in our box, but yeah, he doesn't want to break them down, he wants to store them. So these little Lego storage boxes are super cheap. It's like five bucks, I think, for three of them, and they perfectly fit his vehicles. And then there's bigger ones too for the rest of the blocks. So if you are cheap like me, thrifty as we like to call it, um, they are called Glyph, I believe. Glyph is the storage. Oh no, I'm sorry, Glyphs. G-L-I-S storage boxes from Ikea. We'll have to get some. You sure do. All right. Nick, have you panic?

SPEAKER_02 40:08

It's so nice. It's so low. I am thrifty. I am thrifty like you. Are you on any buy nothing pages? No, I don't know what that is. Oh, do you know about Facebook buy nothing pages? No, not buy sell trade. You buy nothing. I've gotten some scores on this, and I bet you could get a Lego table on it.

SPEAKER_03 40:30

Girl, what? Are these like groups or they're pages?

SPEAKER_02 40:36

I guess you would could be considered group. They're almost like micro giving. Like Lake Geneva would have to have its own. Nomine Falls has its own, but you can't buy anything. You're just like, hey, I'm looking for this. Like, I love this. And I was like, does anyone have any extra slippers?

SPEAKER_03 40:58

I got four pairs.

SPEAKER_02 41:00

I didn't need that many.

SPEAKER_03 41:02

Now you can give them away. Okay, there is not one in my area. Should I start it? Should I start one? Is that the worst idea?

SPEAKER_02 41:09

I think you should. It actually is kind of a pain to make start. Oh, damn it. I went through the process to try and start one, and then I had a baby, so it kind of got on the bunch. Oh no. And someone else started it. I was like, yay! Oh, I gonna I'm gonna find it. Honestly, I was looking at it this morning.

unknown 41:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:26

And someone was giving away a solid wood lofted bed with desk underneath it for free. Just had to pick it up. What? And then somebody else was giving away a bag of marshmallows.

SPEAKER_03 41:38

Listen, I gave away turtle food once on just like marketplace. I was like, someone, I feel bad throwing this away. It's brand new. Someone take it. And I ended up, it turned into a weird situation. Okay, Mosquego is the closest one. Do you think they'll approve me? It's only like 30 minutes away.

SPEAKER_02 41:52

It's not the first one. I don't know. The person on mine, they kind of let it go wild. And it's a big area. So it depends on the person. Oh, okay. But do you want to drive to Mosquego?

SPEAKER_03 42:03

I sure don't. Okay, I'm sorry. This is just gone off the rails here, but that sh might as well be your product recommendation.

SPEAKER_00 42:10

I have a product recommendation that I thought of panickedly and now I'm gonna share. Great. Because uh this is so I was thinking of have I bought something recently, and the only thing I recently bought was a speed light for my camera. Shout out to John Jordan. Um, but he might be interested in that, but I don't think most of you would be. So I was like, what products do I use every day that really are great and I really recommend? And I thought of my Philips Sonic Care toothbrush. Wow. This is not anything having to do with Bridget, but I was like going through my day every day, start with my Philips Sonic Hare, end with my Philips Sonic Care. My dentist, it's not the fabulous Laura Lux uh that's right, with her plaque up on the wall, not her, but my dentist was like, man, you got good teeth. I'm like, it's the Philips Sonicare, bruh. So uh, you know, I would just say, get yourself an electric toothbrush. They're great.

SPEAKER_03 43:04

What makes the Philips Sonicare better than a different one?

SPEAKER_00 43:06

Uh, I don't know. Phillips is Dutch, and the Dutch people do really great things. Uh hello, John Jordan.

SPEAKER_02 43:14

Busted. John Jordan also has a Philips Sonicare toothbrush.

SPEAKER_00 43:18

Oh wow. Um, but I do replace the heads because you do have to replace those regularly. I use the Target off-brand replacement. Oh, and it works. Yeah, they work just fine.

SPEAKER_03 43:27

That's a pro tip right there.

SPEAKER_00 43:28

So uh really recommend those. They're great. Wow. I'm looking it up.

SPEAKER_02 43:33

The buzzing bothers me. Me too.

SPEAKER_00 43:36

Oh, it doesn't. I like also that it times out how long you should brush your teeth and it gives you like an interval of like you brush the front side of your top teeth for enough time, you brush the insides of your front teeth for enough time. I like that.

SPEAKER_03 43:48

Did you pay $300 for a toothbrush?

SPEAKER_00 43:51

No, because we got it like so. We literally got this like seven years ago. This is like the first year Sarah and I were married. She got me this for Christmas. So don't buy your work. Wife, something that plugs in for Christmas, but your husband would definitely love something that it plugs in for Christmas. She bought it for me. It was like, I don't know, $70 at a time.

SPEAKER_03 44:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 44:09

I would have bought $70 worth of toothbrushes in that time.

SPEAKER_03 44:12

Well, your toothbrushes are so expensive.

SPEAKER_00 44:14

Toothbrushes are like $4 and you got to replace them every three months.

SPEAKER_03 44:17

Just go to your dentist.

SPEAKER_00 44:19

My dentist doesn't have great toothbrushes. Oh, Laura does.

SPEAKER_03 44:22

Okay. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 44:23

There's also I like that your toothbrush treats you how I treat my five-year-old. Because I'm like, all right, now the tops. Now the heads. Now the fronts. Get them really good.

SPEAKER_03 44:33

Man, I feel you on that. We are in that moment with my almost six-year-old as well. Great in the trenches together. You are not alone. It's so nice to be misery loving company. I mean, I don't like brushing my kids' teeth, so I'm calling it misery.

SPEAKER_00 44:49

Your turn on the product, Rex, Melissa.

SPEAKER_02 44:52

Well, I feel like the Buy Nothing pages was pretty good. I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 44:55

I agree, but you know, we're getting a twofer from you.

SPEAKER_02 44:59

These sandals right here.

SPEAKER_00 45:00

Are those Crocs?

SPEAKER_02 45:01

I don't know if they're called Ufoos? Ofo.

SPEAKER_00 45:05

Mofo?

SPEAKER_02 45:06

I thought they were Crocs. They're not. And I know they're not the prettiest. They're in this Merlot color, but they're supposed to be like 37% more absorbent of your footfalls. And I bought them for Disney. So I can wear them. Whoa. And wear them all day long around those parks. Yep. Um, sorry. I know you were talking about the Third Street Market Hall.

SPEAKER_00 45:28

No, those sandals were superior. That is a great wreck right there.

SPEAKER_03 45:31

Those sandals were superior uh to Third Street Market Hall, but we should talk about that briefly because we do love Milwaukee and I want to hear about it.

SPEAKER_02 45:41

Um, it is really cool. It's not as big and open air as Grand Street. Yeah, Grand Central. What is it? Grand Avenue. Central Market. Oh, Grand. Oh. Grand Avenue Mall. Yes. That's what it is. Sorry. I wasn't around when it was really that. Oh, I was. Um I was deep in it. It's not fully open. But all of the restaurants that are there right now are super comfort foods. You've got like burgers and bakeries. I tried this one called Hot Dish. Yes. That's the one you want. Oh. Karogis and tater tot casseroles. There's also a uh Strega, which is a homemade pasta. Oh like Strega Nona. Oh. And there's a lot to do there. A selfie museum that I would never pay $20 to go into, but others might. Definitely. There's shuffleboard, there's bags. You can play Nintendo. I played Nintendo for a hot second. What? Like old school Nintendo? It's worth going. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:45

Oh Nintendo 1.

SPEAKER_02 46:49

Nintendo OG.

SPEAKER_00 46:52

I saw your stories about this.

SPEAKER_02 46:55

Big enough and open enough that you could take your kids there and no one would be annoyed with you. I would probably wait until it's a little more open, which I think will be within the next couple of months because they were in the build of the other ones. But I mean, if you're in the area, go, go.

SPEAKER_03 47:13

Well, I tried to go. Funny story. It was my best friend, uh Hillary. It was her birthday. And we, my sister and I went up to Milwaukee and we're like, we're gonna, we went to Shanghai to the speakeasy. And then we're like, we're gonna go to Third Street Market Hall. Cause I swear it was open. Like I followed them on Instagram.

SPEAKER_00 47:30

Call me for big deals like Melissa.

SPEAKER_03 47:32

We just like, and then we so we're like, it just didn't cross my mind. I thought it was open. And this was before you went, Melissa, and it was like the um maybe the first weekend in January. And um, anyway, there was a wedding going on, so like we didn't know it just looked open. So we like just walked into the wedding and walked right out when we realized it was it was the weirdest thing. We had to like go to the side door of Grand Avenue Mall, and like a guy that was smoking just like let us in and we're like, okay, cool. No one stopped us. We walked right, so we did get a sneak peek, it just was not nearly open.

SPEAKER_02 48:05

So I'm so excited to go back. It opened officially this past Friday. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 48:12

I can't wait to go. Oh, okay. Yeah, I follow, excuse me, I stalked them on Instagram.

SPEAKER_00 48:17

My other recommendation is Melissa Jordan on social media. Yes, go follow Melissa Jordan on social media because you got the fire stories, your reels, fire.

SPEAKER_03 48:30

We're back.

SPEAKER_00 49:13

Um, so if you're a fan of B933, which you should be, and follow Melissa uh and also this other guy, Joe, on Facebook, um they do this thing called Taste Test Tuesday, and it's pretty cool. You go to all these restaurants, try food. You know, this is why you should be on the radio. People give you free food.

SPEAKER_02 49:31

Yes. It's not always free. What? What? If you are we're not like that, we don't make them give it to us for free.

SPEAKER_03 49:39

Good for it.

SPEAKER_02 49:39

If they do, great, but we'll pay for it.

SPEAKER_03 49:41

Well, you know, and we wanted to make Melissa feel right at home here on Dinner Plus Drinks, so we thought we're gonna do our own little taste off.

SPEAKER_00 49:48

So it's Friday as we're recording it. Some other day, maybe probably as you're listening, because you only have a one in seven chance of it being Friday and we release on Sunday. Anyway, we are calling this Flavor Fantasy Front.

SPEAKER_03 50:01

Here we are singing again. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_00 50:03

And why is it a flavor fantasy? Well, please tell us why, Bridget.

SPEAKER_03 50:07

Because we have a fantasy of Oreo flavors to try today. What makes up a fantasy?

SPEAKER_00 50:13

You may remember we tried all of the different types of Kit Kats from Japan and they were mostly disgusting.

SPEAKER_03 50:19

So bad. If you haven't listened, you have to go back. Actually, you should watch that one on YouTube for sure, because it was disgusting.

SPEAKER_00 50:26

We were like, should we give Melissa some of the matcha Kit Kats to try? Or the white bean paste Kit Kat? And we said, no, no, we're not gonna do that to Melissa. We want to do some some something fun. So Bridget hit up all of the Oreo flavors.

SPEAKER_03 50:41

Listen, I just wanted to try them all. Yeah, we want to do something fun. You just gave me this like pissed jar of um 100%. That looks like really dehydrated urine in a cup. So you're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I said the same thing. Here's Bridget's pea sample.

SPEAKER_00 50:57

In addition to the pea samples, we gave Melissa Oreos.

SPEAKER_03 51:01

Eight different kinds to be exact, because I remember being in the store and noting in that's right. Those are all the Oreos. I remember noting like a whole wall of Oreo flavors. So we looked them up online, tried to figure out how we could order them, and I said, you know what? For the for the name of the podcast, I will brave Walmart and go look because I know Walmart had a whole wall of these. So that's what I did. I picked up all the flavors that weren't like just normal Oreos, although I almost bought the mega stuff ones. Did you know there's mega stuffed Oreos?

SPEAKER_00 51:31

That's what I want. Yes, you take the double stuff, unscrew it, and put them together. And it's mega stuff.

SPEAKER_03 51:36

They sell that now. So we're gonna try them here. Do you care what order we try them in?

SPEAKER_00 51:40

I don't. I'll let you pick. I think we're so we're gonna try them all, and we're gonna provide you, our lovely listeners, with feedback on which ones you should seek out.

SPEAKER_03 51:50

Okay. And Melissa, have you had any? You love the sound of people chewing while they speak. I know it's the best part of tasting things on air. Um, okay, can you tell the audience before we begin what have you tasted out of these?

SPEAKER_02 52:03

I've had the carrot cake where we actually tried it for a taste test Tuesday quite some time ago. Okay. I will let you know that it tastes like carrot cake, but it also tastes like a very fake buttercream frosting. And it's excellent.

SPEAKER_03 52:17

So I'm trying this now. Let's start with carrot cake, then I suppose, huh? Um, so we don't have to eat the whole cookie if you don't want. I'm not going to because you know, said dental work.

SPEAKER_00 52:28

Um, but this has an extremely crunchy cookie.

SPEAKER_03 52:32

So crunchy.

SPEAKER_00 52:33

I do it's almost like a graham cracker crust.

SPEAKER_02 52:37

Well, don't you think outside of the regular Oreo cookies, like when it's not that oh dark black Oreo on the outside, that it is a little bit crunchier?

SPEAKER_00 52:46

I don't know. I've only really honestly had the regular ones. So I can't say. You're spot on with the still gross.

SPEAKER_03 52:53

Yeah. Yep. Still fake buttercream. Okay. Well, you know what? Honestly, this wasn't as horrible as I thought.

SPEAKER_00 52:58

But my expectations were low. I don't like carrot cake, so I was had low expectations. So I didn't think I'd like it. But it doesn't taste that much like carrot cake.

SPEAKER_03 53:08

I mean, I would never eat uh more than one of those, but I would never buy the pack. So uh okay, caramel coconut. Let's go to caramel coconut. I, you know, it's we're coming up on Girl Scout cookie season, aren't we? Yeah, these look like my like favorite Girl Scout cookies. Caramel Delights. Me too. Or some are they called they're called something else now, aren't they?

SPEAKER_02 53:26

They smell like pancake syrup.

SPEAKER_00 53:28

Oh, yes, they do.

SPEAKER_04 53:30

Oh my god, yeah, they do.

SPEAKER_00 53:31

I don't like coconut, but I doubt it tastes like real coconut. Well, that's why I don't like coconut because it's all fake. Smells like sunscreen.

SPEAKER_03 53:40

Ooh, this tastes like weird popcorn. It doesn't taste like coconut at all. It tastes like buttered popcorn to me. Is that way off?

SPEAKER_04 53:47

Whoa! I agree. Why does that taste like buttered popcorn? It's also a little bit like peanut butter. I don't know. We've got a peanut butter one to try too.

SPEAKER_03 53:57

Okay, I don't know how to explain this one besides buttered popcorn. I don't hate it though.

SPEAKER_02 54:03

I don't hate it, but it doesn't taste like caramel coconut.

SPEAKER_03 54:05

Yeah, damn, that's too bad. Okay, really hoping chocolate hazelnut is where we're headed next, and I'm really hoping for a beautiful Nutella-esque.

SPEAKER_00 54:13

What I love the most, everybody tries to do Nutella and they can't call it Nutella, and so it's chocolate hazelnut.

SPEAKER_03 54:20

Elliot asked me what a hazelnut was the other day, and I literally couldn't explain. What does that taste like? I was like, I don't know how to explain this to you.

SPEAKER_00 54:27

What are you thinking, Melissa?

SPEAKER_02 54:29

Oh no. That doesn't taste like hazelnut. It doesn't taste like Nutella. What I don't like is Nutella. It kind of gives me a gaggy flavor.

SPEAKER_03 54:40

It just tastes artificial again at the end.

SPEAKER_00 54:42

It tastes like puke in a wine glass.

unknown 54:44

No.

SPEAKER_03 54:47

I don't hate this one. But it's not as I want it to be creamy like Nutella. Yeah, I don't hate it.

SPEAKER_00 54:52

I don't hate it either. It tastes like very, very like fudgy chocolate to me.

SPEAKER_03 54:56

Yeah, except artificial chocolate.

SPEAKER_02 54:58

It's giving me the weirdest aftertaste.

SPEAKER_03 55:01

You're right. That's like the the weird fake filling, is that's the taste I'm getting. Here, shall we go? Let's go to birthday cake.

SPEAKER_02 55:08

I know it sounds like weird to say, but it's given me like a like a veggie dirt kind of kale aftertaste.

SPEAKER_03 55:16

That is so funny. Um, I don't get that. I get the dirt, actually. It's the texture. Okay, well, you know, this one I've had before.

SPEAKER_02 55:25

That's what I meant. Earthy.

SPEAKER_03 55:26

I love a good earthy Oreo. It's my favorite. Um, all right, we're going birthday cake. I've had this one. It's smells like birthday cake. As repulsively sweet as you'd think it is. My five-year-old loves it.

SPEAKER_02 55:39

It smells a lot like the caramel coconut one.

SPEAKER_03 55:42

I think it's probably more repulsive.

SPEAKER_00 55:47

As someone that licks the frosting off the birthday cake, I love this.

SPEAKER_03 55:51

Oh, yeah, I'm not a big frosting person.

SPEAKER_00 55:54

You know my mom? Everybody um my mom does not eat the frosting. Yeah, she doesn't eat the frosting on birthday cake.

SPEAKER_03 56:03

So this is not for your mom. I don't either. What? Okay, so do you not like this one? I get double. Oh, yeah, it gets double.

SPEAKER_02 56:09

It actually gives me a real nostalgic feel. It reminds me of like uh dunkaroos. You remember them? Yes, I remember them. That's kind of what the flavor is. It's not like a buttercream birthday cake. Nick ate the whole thing of this one.

SPEAKER_03 56:23

He's been putting back. Dunkaroo. I haven't had those in ages. Does taste like a dunkaroo? They're back, they're back in stores. They are?

unknown 56:31

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 56:32

Should get some for my kids' love.

SPEAKER_00 56:33

This one's great, everybody.

SPEAKER_03 56:34

Nick is still dreaming.

SPEAKER_00 56:35

You want another one, man? If you like frosting, man, if you like the crappy, like 95 cent cake mix with like the crappy 72 cent thing of frosting and like the crappy, crappy Jimmy's. This is for you.

SPEAKER_04 56:52

This is for you. We're gonna go from possibly so good.

SPEAKER_03 56:55

Yeah, the crappy shit. Um, we're gonna go from possibly the sweetest to possibly not the sweetest and go into dark chocolate. This one, this sounds so dumb what I'm about to say. I acknowledge it, but it did alarm me how dark this was.

SPEAKER_00 57:07

It is very dark. I don't know why it did, but this one actually looks like a mochron.

SPEAKER_03 57:13

This does not look like a macro.

SPEAKER_00 57:14

Yeah, it does, because it's like the very dark buttercream filling, and like that's very dark, very dark. Very dark, very dark. I don't know that I'm gonna like this.

SPEAKER_02 57:21

But verdict, Melissa. I like that it's not as sweet.

SPEAKER_04 57:30

Yeah. Look at it in my teeth! Sick! Well, you can just cut it on a cut.

SPEAKER_02 57:36

I like that it's not as sweet. Um But it like when you're biting into an Oreo, you're expecting something. So when you get that, you're like, wait a minute, what what is this? Later, later it comes in a little bit sweeter, but when you exactly bite into it, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 57:56

It tastes familiar to me like something.

SPEAKER_00 57:58

Honestly, I find that the cream filling and the cookie are exactly the same flavor. Maybe that's so it's not at all enjoyable because the enjoyable part of an Oreo is like the filling and the cookie are different and like texturally different and good together. And these are like texturally and flavorfully the same. So it's just like meh.

SPEAKER_03 58:16

It's I I do feel like none of these fillings are as creamy, maybe except the birthday cake. None of them are as creamy as like a double stuffed Oreo.

SPEAKER_00 58:23

I am gonna do an experiment in a little bit where I'm gonna take the birthday cake flavor one and the dark chocolate one and mash them together and see if that that gives us a winner.

SPEAKER_03 58:32

Okay, this is the one I've been most excited to try. This is chocolate peanut butter pie. And the filling is two, so this is a like vanilla-looking Oreo cookie, and the filling is two different colors. So, like chocolate on one side, peanut butter on the other. So you really gotta get the good bite here. It smells of peanut butter. I'm very excited.

SPEAKER_00 58:49

Melissa, what type of peanut butter house are you? Skippy or JIF? Chunky or smooth? Or natural.

SPEAKER_03 58:56

I buy smooth Aldi. Mmm. I draw my line. Okay. I love Aldi, but I draw my line from peanut butter. I'm a jiff peanut butter person. Or if I'm baking, I'll pretend to be healthy. Yeah, this is so good. I was like, don't anyone hate on this. Whoever's gonna talk next.

SPEAKER_00 59:14

This is good.

SPEAKER_03 59:15

I'm gonna eat this whole one.

SPEAKER_00 59:17

I'm a chunky skippy person.

SPEAKER_03 59:19

They taste like the peanut butter patties. Peanut butter, chocolate, girl scout pepper. Yes, the peanut butter patties, which Aldi has a knockoff of that are very good. But support your Girl Scouts.

SPEAKER_02 59:33

Okay. Does Outside of Girl Scout season if you need your fix.

SPEAKER_03 59:37

Aldi's got you covered. All right, we've got two more. Nick, I'm gonna let you pick. We've got lemon and chocolate marshmallow.

SPEAKER_00 59:44

I'm doing the lemon last is our little like uh sorbet palette cleanser. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 59:48

All right. So chocolate marshmallow. Um, I've been trying to hide these from Elliot all week. I was unable to hide this one. I have to show you this. Oh look at that!

SPEAKER_02 1:00:01

Inside out Oreo. Oh my god. Oreo messed up.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:05

Damn. Come on, Nabisco, get it together.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:08

Elliot, tell me about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:09

No, I'm just saying, Elliot, my five-year-old ate um like a ton of these. Yeah, and loved them. So if a five-year-old approves, I'm sure we're gonna love it.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:20

This is incredible. Oh, this is so good. Is there chunks of oh yeah. There's chunks of marshmallow in the cookie. I'm eating all this one too.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:33

Looks like it. I was like, what's stuck in my back tooth? Sorry, Dr. Lux. I'll go brush my teeth after this. Okay. That's delicious. I don't like this. I don't know if I like these chunks in the cookie, though. I'm still on team peanut butter chocolate pie or whatever that is.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:52

They're incredible.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:54

Um, dang. I know we're still working on that one, but I'm gonna introduce this very last palette cleanser because I'm a lemon fan. So, but not only are these lemon cream, they're Oreo thins. Which, like, I don't know if you're trying to just like tell me this is a healthy cream.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:08

I'm taking this one apart because there's so little feeling in it.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:11

I feel like it's supposed to be thin and crispy. I think this is the like healthy version of a cookie. Not dumb. I bet these are gonna be delicious, though. I love are you a lemon fan, Melissa, or no?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:22

It's like when you've tried seven other Oreos and you're like, should I have one more? Uh oh, the thin one. The thin fruity one.

unknown 1:01:32

Whoa.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:33

I am excited about this lemon one. This is the one that I wanted the most.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:36

Okay, yeah, I uh I have feelings about this. I did not think it was gonna be such a strong flavor. It tastes like a lemon head. Delicious.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:45

Like especially after all that chocolatey cream.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:48

I didn't split mine and it felt still very strong. Wow. I haven't eaten lunch, so this is a good uh start, you know.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:59

It's very good. Um, but I agree with Nick, it needs to have double the frosting and still just keep the thicking thickness of the cookie, thinness of the cookie. Guys, but more of the frosting.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:11

I thought it was fine. Oh, Nick's making one up over here.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:14

This is gonna be the winner right here. It's the taken apart. Uh it's a chocolate marshmallow birthday cake. Quadruple stuffed Oreo.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:26

We'll see. We're just chewing off air, all of us over here.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:32

He's loving it. Yes, this is so good. Is it wait? I'm I didn't listen. What'd you do? Dark chocolate and marshmallow? Uh chocolate marshmallow and the birthday cake.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:41

Oh, oh god, that sounds terrible.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:43

Try it.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:43

Nope. Wait, what is it? This one? Okay, fine.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:47

I mean, I wonder if it just tastes a little bit a little bit sweeter?

SPEAKER_04 1:02:53

A little bit sweeter. The the fudginess. Like diabetes.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:57

Tastes a little bit like diabetes between two sandwich cookies. Oh, I just can't. The birthday cake is so overwhelming. Oh, nope.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:07

Not for me. Melissa, what's your favorite?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:11

Peanut butter and the lemon. They're winning for me. Chocolate peanut butter pie is number one. Knew it would be.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:17

What about you? Don't say birthday cake.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:21

Man, this is tough. I mean, birthday cake and chocolate marshmallow are very close. One A, one B. I don't I don't think I can pick. I think putting them together, that's the winner. Buy a pack of each, put them together.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:32

What are we gonna do with 900 Oreos?

SPEAKER_00 1:03:35

Elliot.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:36

Five-year-old child. Okay, that was our. We love doing these. Unfortunately, we knew these were gonna be much tastier and we didn't want to be mean, but the Kit Kat one was hilarious because it was so terrible. I wouldn't say any of these were terrible.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:50

There are others I wouldn't buy.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:52

Yeah, I would say none of them were terrible. Some of them didn't.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:55

My dad was excited about the carrot cake one, so I'll see if he's. The carrot cake one was kind of terrible.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:00

It was not great. Well, on that note. Sorry, had to wash the sugar out of my mouth.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:07

Now it's time for our favorite segment of the week where we're gonna talk about our children. It's called Kid Corner.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:13

Kid Corner. Melissa, I hope you've been thinking of a funny kid corner.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:18

Um, do you want me to kick it off or what? Can John help me with one? Yeah?

SPEAKER_03 1:04:23

Got to. Sorry.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:24

No, go, go. This actually happened this morning because I was like, uh, what do I say about my kids? And uh today, Molly had a pajama day at school. They're gonna like read with their flashlights. It's adorable, right? Yes. So she took a bath before bed last night. She already had her favorite pajamas on, so we're good to go. And we're getting ready to go out the door. She's got her snow pants and her coat, her hat, her gloves, absolutely everything on. And she goes, Oh, I don't have underwear on.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:02

That sounds like my kid.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:06

So John's like, How did you get this far? What's happening? And I'm like, that's okay. I got this. I'm like running up the stairs. I grab a pair and she's sorry for the visual, but so like we can undo the straps on her snow pants. Oh, so we get it all changed up and she's just standing there in her underwear on the bottom with her coat, hat, gloves, scarf on the top. And we're like, well, this is the life right now. This is what we're doing.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:40

Should have got a picture for the uh the wedding uh slideshow.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:43

You in your underwear, and it's not that much. We've had pajama day, and uh uh my five year old likes to sleep without underwear on, and so yeah, he'll just like sleep in his favorite pajamas and do the same exact thing. We're like, you definitely have to wear underwear to school. I just think that we would get a Home about that. So we never made it as far as snow pants. So blessings to you. Full blessings. Um, okay, all right. You ready? Here's what I have to say about my darling daughter Lucy. Um, if you are avid listeners, you know that Lucy is not a delicate flower, she's not a girly girl. Uh, but lately uh she's been doing, I'm gonna call them at-home spa facials. Um we'll be sitting there watching a movie, doing whatever, and I will look over. The first time I noticed it was with a carrot, and she loves to just gnaw on full carrots. So she just had a carrot and she's just doing this, rubbing it slowly all over her face, like specifically all around her eyes, like where you would put cucumber slices. And I'm like, what are you doing, Lucy? She's like, it feels nice. Whatever. I don't know what she said. It feels good. And I'm like, actually, probably does like a carrot, I don't care. But then yesterday, maybe two days ago, she was doing it with applesauce. Applesauce. So it's like dripping down her face. And I'm like, what are you doing, Lucy? And she just like, I think her lips or her cheeks are really chapped, like and dry. And she hates when we put like aquifer or lotion on them. So I'm like, I bet the cooling carrot and the cooling applesauce like feel really nice on her cheeks. But girlfriend is doing a sprafacial. Yeah, if you'd like to book your time with Miss Lucy Leach, uh, call her mom.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:23

Well, we had a breaking update today from daycare that Simona peed on the potty for the first time today.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:29

Whoa, exciting!

SPEAKER_00 1:07:31

So thank you, Miss Katie, Miss Danielle. You guys are great. Appreciate you.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:35

Well, that's very exciting.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:36

That was not my story, though, but I just had to share with everybody.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:39

You know, so proud of my darling baby girl.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:41

Thankful for darling. I'm so share crappy dominant. Anyway, uh, so you know, we talk about the crap parts of a small town sometimes, and you know, like the crap mare sometimes. Crap. But um, some of the great things about a small town are you can do uh really fun stuff like going to the candle mercantile, which we love.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:07

We've we've repped on this podcast, and we went um We have a candle mercantile candle burning in our home right now because that's how dedicated John and Whoa, whoa, wow, I love this. He got it out specifically because he knew we were gonna be on the podcast today.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:26

Whoa, wow John And he brought you the puke wine glass man.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:29

John Jordan, you are an amazing human being.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:33

Really?

SPEAKER_00 1:08:34

We went to the candle mercantile. Leanne, one of the proprietors, were there, and she let us do our candle shopping in peace by taking and unscrewing every single candle scent for Simona to try.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:46

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:47

Holding so they have little pictures of each scent next to the scent. Taking the picture, going to Simona, what's this? Oh, you're right, it's a pear. Even if she said you're like, eh, wrong. Uh, letting her smell it, and then Simona would go ah and run around a lap around the store and rinse and repeat. Leanne, you are a hero. Uh, we appreciate you. We love it. Endurable.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:14

Endurable.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:14

It was endurable because we dumped our child for a little bit on the poor store owner.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:19

Oh, yeah, that's mean.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:20

Uh, but Leanne seemed to enjoy it. We had a fun time. Simona learned about uh scents.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:26

Candle sense?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:27

Things.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:28

Everything a two-year-old needs to know. Candle sense. When Nick was telling me this story earlier this week, he explained it like we were holding up a pear, saying, What does this smell like? And was like expecting Simona to have the descriptor words to be like the bouquet of flower scents. I was like, I think you're expecting too much of your child.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:50

I think that's a bit advanced for even me. If she wants to take over our wine empire, she's gonna need to know this. Learn early.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:59

Now's the time.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:59

It's like a foreign language, okay? Wine can be like a foreign language. The earlier you start, the more of a master you'll be. And she is already, you know, into her chablis. She knows what she's talking about.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:13

That is one way of looking at it, Nick. Well, guys, we love a good kid corner. Thanks for participating. I love hearing about other people's kids and their underwear with their snow pants. Why not?

SPEAKER_00 1:10:27

Why not indeed? We hope you enjoyed listening to Melissa Jordan, good friend of me, almost the same as Bridget, new friend of Bridget. I got to know Melissa when she was a wee little DJ on Lake 96.1. I am so grateful for that. But now, Melissa, tell us where we can find you. Listen to you over the real airwaves, not the fake podcast airwaves, find you on the social media because everybody loves you. So where can they find Melissa Jordan?

SPEAKER_02 1:11:00

SPEAKER_03 1:11:29

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:30

You did a really good uh Midwestern version of uh Squid Games that should have gone viral. What? And it didn't. And uh everybody should go back and look at it, maybe retroactively make it go viral.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:43

I'm terrified to watch Squid Games, the real one. So I'm not going to ever.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:48

I was so afraid to watch it that it was like four in the morning. I couldn't sleep one time and it came up on my queue. Great time. And I just watched the last episode. What? I don't watch anything but the last episode, so I know what happens, but I knew it was scary and I didn't want to see it.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:05

But just that last one at 4 a.m. That's normal. Oh, that's amazing.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:10

On that note, thanks guys for listening. Melissa, thank you for being our guest. We love you. You're the best.
