Hell oh, I'm Morgan Freeman here with a holiday tip.
Shopping for gifts can be frustrating, especially when the person
you're looking for can be a real jackass. This year,
get them something more fitting, like a pile of cat,
a used prophylactic, or my favorite, a firm, well placed
kick in the crotch berries. Not only will you be

(00:28):
giving them what they deserve, but my gut tells me
you'll never have to shop for them again. Happy Holidays.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
This is not headline news. Google is planning to release
its first pair of AI glasses sometime next year. No
matter how advanced aiglasses get, they'll never alter reality as
much as beer goggles do. Pamela Anderson wants to change
her name to honor her ancestry, and because of what
pops out when you google Pamela Anderson. Harley Kruebe says

how long has Cody's been around? They've been around for
a while.

Speaker 11 (03:56):
Yes, Cody's has been around since nineteen ninety four. Yeah,
all over the Greater Tampa Fort Myers Naples areas. There's
seven Florida based. Yeah, it's it's solely Florida based. That's local, yep. Absolutely,
many of the units. Most of the units are individually
owned and operated. So it's a it's a really hometown feel,

(04:17):
kind of a Root sixty six vibe, and it really
kind of specializing on just giving you a family, friendly,
lively atmosphere, kind of like you know the old days
when you're driving down Route sixty six.

Speaker 7 (04:30):
I don't know, I don't know how many people remember that, but.

Speaker 11 (04:33):
If you can picture it, it's a it's just welcoming
and really fun and friendly.

Speaker 10 (04:37):
I've driven on it, but not back then.

Speaker 9 (04:41):
Yeah, so and also got it you gotta go.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Can't go wrong with classic shrimp cocktail too, So you
got that going on?

Speaker 9 (04:48):
And what dessert did you bring?

Speaker 7 (04:51):
So we brought a masterpone eggnog cake they bring?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah that because we got some your p our guys,
send us some uh info here previously. Yeah, looking good.
That sounds really good. Uh spice eggnog cake decadent, uh
mass carpone cake infused with eggnog, spice and warm bourbon
dessert sauce.

Speaker 7 (05:16):
Yeah, sauce. I mean, the cake itself is phenomenal, but
the sauce is.

Speaker 9 (05:19):
Really that sounds great.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
And you're also doing two for one holiday punches too there, Yeah,
the holiday punch.

Speaker 11 (05:26):
That's something that you know, we we kind of rely
on a lot of our our team members locally to
give us some ideas, especially around the holiday two for
one liquor drinks. And this is when something Brian, our
bartender in the Bradenton location, came up with. So it's
it's sweet but not too sweet, has a little bit
of a kick, so it's it's really fun and it's

(05:46):
really good.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Super Fortunately didn't bring any, did regulation.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Man?

Speaker 1 (05:53):
So tell us what you got going on for the holidays.

Speaker 9 (05:55):
You got gift cards and all that stuff.

Speaker 11 (05:57):
Yeah, so we we have a gift card promo from
December nineteenth to the twenty fourth. Any guests who purchases
one hundred dollars worth of gift cards, it can be
any increment, it could be ten tens or five twenties
or whatever you want, as long as it's one hundred dollars,
they'll get a twenty dollars bonus card. And then anybody
who purchases fifty dollars will get a ten dollars bonus
card during that week, the nineteenth to the twenty fourth.

(06:17):
I know, I've got some feedback that we're trying to
see if we can extend those times because there's some
folks that come down in January and things like that.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
But that's where we're at for right now. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (06:27):
Yeah, the snowbirds are coming.

Speaker 10 (06:28):
They are good stocking stuff for all that. If you
got a bunch of people you want to give a
little gift card out too.

Speaker 11 (06:33):
Well, and it's great because you know, to your point
if if you buy, you know, fifteen dollars gift cards.
Let's just say, right, we have a ton of stuff
on the menu that's that's priced at that price point
or lower.

Speaker 7 (06:45):
That's one of our other kind of key staples is value.

Speaker 11 (06:48):
So we try and keep our Sunday Specials is one
of the things we do every week. It's thirteen ninety
nine comes with our fresh in house made use rolls
and our bottomless salad and a dessert. So I mean
you get an entree, a salad, rolls, and a dessert
for thirteen ninety nine. So as a stocking stuffers, it's
a great idea.

Speaker 9 (07:05):
That's great, awesome.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, and this is so tell us, So tell us
more about the food.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
So the.

Speaker 11 (07:13):
Holiday menu itself you described it a little bit, but
that that pork asabuka is cooked for so long it
pulls right off the bone but stays nice and juicy.
The pork ribbi is a newer product where we're trying
out this holiday season with that cranberry simchery sauce, but
that also has such good flavor if you like regular ribbis,
like steak ribb eyes.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
It's a great cut, it really is.

Speaker 11 (07:35):
But as in general our food, we're kind of a steakhouse.
It's a roadhouse, but we serve fresh prime rib every
single day. We cut our meat in house. Any steak
that we have on the menu is cut fresh in house,
including porterhouses, you know, nice.

Speaker 7 (07:50):
Top to bottom.

Speaker 11 (07:51):
All our steaks are cut fresh in house. And everything
we make from our ranch to our rolls, we don't
raise the cattle. But other than that, other than not
raising the cattle, everything we do is scratch.

Speaker 10 (08:03):
So, and how long is the holiday menu going on?

Speaker 11 (08:05):
The holiday menu goes on until the end of December, okay,
So we'll have all this all the way till the
end of December, and then, you know, we we run
a lot of different seasonal menu items, so we'll have
something right behind it for for Valentine's Day and and
then for the Lent season, some seafood specials and things
of that nature.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
So unless, of course it's so popular you just decided
to keep it on the menu.

Speaker 9 (08:28):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, that is good.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
It really is good.

Speaker 11 (08:32):
Yeah, I'm glad you liked that. That was that was
what that was my creation. So yeah, I know you
didn't know that. It is something I'm pretty proud of now.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
Yeah, so it should be.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, it's very good, very good. So how long have
you been with the company.

Speaker 7 (08:45):
So I've been with the company for five years.

Speaker 11 (08:48):
It's been around for thirty one, but I was brought
on five years ago just to oversee everything, help with
the menu innovation, work on trying to build out new locations.

Speaker 7 (08:59):
Sure, where are you from? Originally I grew up in Brandon,
really I did.

Speaker 10 (09:03):
He's a kracker.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (09:06):
That's cool, very nice, very nice.

Speaker 7 (09:08):
Spent a lot of time, a lot of time in Florida,
basically my whole life.

Speaker 9 (09:11):
Awesome.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
And Tracy pulled that mic up. How long you been
with him?

Speaker 9 (09:14):
What are you doing there? I've been there going what
six months now?

Speaker 7 (09:17):
About six months?

Speaker 12 (09:18):
Assistant jerem manager, catering manager, vent manager.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, well that's right, you do catering as well.

Speaker 11 (09:25):
We do catering as well. Yeah, So that's one of
the reasons why Tracy decided to join us. She's got
a ton of experience in catering, and that's something we're
trying to put forward as we move into twenty twenty
six is really get our food in front of as
many people as we can. Obviously continuing the value and
the fresh maid, continuing all of those key staples for us,
but trying to get holiday parties and things of that

(09:47):
nature out there so well.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
It sounds like it's a place to go, and of
course you're hours.

Speaker 11 (09:53):
Well the hours very by location, but generally speaking, we're
a general location for the most part. The one in
Portrait is open for lunch at noon from Wednesday to Sunday,
and then they're open for dinner at three o'clock on
Monday and Tuesday, well until ten.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Excuse you're heading into the holidays and gift cards are
you can't go wrong. It's the best stalking stuff we're
out there. So you might consider a Cody's gift gift
card and you can pick them up right there, or
you can get them on.

Speaker 9 (10:22):
The website too.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
Yep, you can get them on the website as well.

Speaker 11 (10:24):
The only difference is the twenty dollars bonus card is
something you have to do in the in a location
and you have to get that in store.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yes, well, this is awesome. The Cranberry chim cherry poke.
Oh that's the best so far. I mean, I love
the it's got a great blaze to it, but I
love that chim.

Speaker 11 (10:44):
Yeah, the Demi glaze again, it's it's a you know,
one of the things that one of the reasons why
I joined the company when I did, is because we
had some of that that freedom to kind of create
and really try it with our guests. So anything we
put out, you know, different locations, we'll we'll put it
out in front of the guests and get some feedback
from them before we roll it to the rest of
the location. So that's always the fun part for me,

(11:05):
is is just building some of these recipes and then
and getting some feedback from the guests. And sometimes it's
great and sometimes it's not as great as you know,
but then we be proud of the Jimmy cherry.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Have you ever had one that just kind of blew
up in your face that you thought was going to work?

Speaker 7 (11:22):
I did, you know? I tried these these crab claws.

Speaker 11 (11:25):
They were basically cut the cracked already for you, and
I tried them out at one of the locations and
the people liked them sauteed in garlic butter.

Speaker 7 (11:36):
Really I thought it was a great product, but it did.

Speaker 11 (11:39):
It did apparently the people that at the location we
tested it at had a different feeling than the peoples
come on.

Speaker 10 (11:48):
Saw take cardboarding garlic butter.

Speaker 7 (11:53):
That's for sure. We had to take a quick break.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
We'll be right back with more on news Radio fifteen eighty.

Speaker 7 (11:58):
Coming Out America's hot US new curse word.

Kleman will tell you what it means.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
After this, we'll be right back with Charlotte County Speaks,
news Radio fifteen eighty.

Speaker 13 (12:07):
WCCF ban cell phones in schools. G you don't say, gee,
you don't think that they might be distracting the kids? Well, anyway,
they did it in the state of Florida a couple
years ago, and they actually studied the outcome.

Speaker 10 (12:23):
Well.

Speaker 13 (12:25):
First, okay, the enforcement of cell phone bands in the
first year led to a major increase in student suspensions
for breaking the rule.

Speaker 14 (12:36):
Let's get into the second year.

Speaker 13 (12:38):
Oh, we find significant improvements in student test scores in
the second year.

Speaker 15 (12:43):
Hmm.

Speaker 13 (12:44):
Third, cell phone bands in schools significantly reduced students unexcused absences. Again,
no brainer. Why they ever allowed these things into classrooms?
I don't know. We didn't have them when we were kids,
but we had those stupid little pocket electronic games. We
weren't allowed to bring those into class. Are you kidney

(13:05):
a phone? Get them out of the classroom?

don't know, I can't remember.

Speaker 10 (23:50):
So there was somebody like that Shankar okay anyway, and
I figured with it being Christmas time, yes, oh, yes,
Robbie Shankar performed at the original Woodstock. He played Friday,
August fifteenth.

Speaker 9 (24:09):
Oh so they actually heard him.

Speaker 10 (24:11):
In the late afternoon, right, and they said, what is this? Yeah?
What bring out creedon?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
It's just muss be the acid man, go with it.

Speaker 10 (24:20):
WHOA, what's that sound?

Speaker 15 (24:21):
Man?

Speaker 10 (24:23):
That guitar is like so many strings? Man? Why is
he sitting down playing it?

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Well, folks, his belly might be full, but he's still
very pissy.

Speaker 10 (24:35):
It's true. It's true. It's the end of the world
when not even the Taliban and the Afghanis can dress
up in excitement for the new Peaky Blinders movie. You
know what I mean. We live in a society anyway. Yeah,
so Peaky Blinders is one of the better modern drama series.

(24:58):
Will I would say, you watched it.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
I did, and I still think there's a there's a
movie or another series.

Speaker 10 (25:05):
No, there's a movie coming out. Yeah, they're filming it
right now. This is a World War two era though, right,
Peaky Blinders world War yes, yeah, and apparently the Taliban
has no respect for it. The Taliban has arrested four
young men for wearing outfits inspired by the Peaky Blinders.
He saw the picture, right.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, but they were in the Middle East. They were
in Afghanistan dressed like that.

Speaker 10 (25:27):
I thought they I thought I got it in England.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
I thought it was in England and we got we
got the Muzzies dressing up like Peaky Blinders.

Speaker 10 (25:33):
No, no, no, these are just the Muzzies dressing up
as Peaky Blinders in Afghanistan. Well, good on them.

Speaker 15 (25:39):
What's wrong about that?

Speaker 10 (25:40):
Exactly? And well, no beards, you know, that's probably part
of it.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh, if they just get They could do that with
the beards, can't they?

Speaker 10 (25:46):
They still have the razor blade there, little beanie, But no,
they're clean shaven and they can't have that. Got the
hats and can't have that. Can't have that in the Islam.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
He Islam one even if you look like a complete fool,
as most of them do in their beards, because they
can't grow a beard to save their life.

Speaker 9 (26:03):
Right, but they still have one.

Speaker 10 (26:04):
And you may ask why were they arrested? What were they.

Speaker 9 (26:07):
Accused of dressing inappropriately?

Speaker 10 (26:10):
Well, promoting foreign culture? So g the country that is
infiltrating all these other countries screaming you must accept our culture.
They will detain you in their home country for promoting
foreign culture. Yeah, yeah, so expect them.

Speaker 7 (26:29):
What do you want?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
What do you want from a bunch of lying hypocrites
who rape people and cut off heads?

Speaker 10 (26:34):
Really, seriously, what do we live in a society?

Speaker 1 (26:38):
What were you hoping to?

Speaker 10 (26:40):
Okay, Well, when you put it that way.

Speaker 9 (26:43):
I don't understand.

Speaker 10 (26:44):
And and since yes, Peaky Blinders is on Netflix, and
you may say, well, what other good shows are on Netflix? Well,
we'll tell you about the new Netflix film that features
the transgender coal miner. Fikes the Patreo.

Speaker 9 (27:00):
Yeah, the tranny coal miner.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Yeah, right right up down there slinging his black rock
and you know, oh fink, I'm a girl.

Speaker 10 (27:12):
Are you tired of seeing Pedro Pascal and everything?

Speaker 1 (27:16):
I'm kind of sick of Paige. There's only one thing
I like Pedro Pascal in and that's that scene where
him and Nick Cage or tripping on acid driving the
car that turned into a meme.

Speaker 9 (27:29):
What was that?

Speaker 1 (27:29):
The the incredible lightness of being Nick Cage.

Speaker 7 (27:33):
Isn't that?

Speaker 10 (27:33):
What it like that? Something like that.

Speaker 7 (27:34):
I got to look up with.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
That little car driving scene where Pascal looks over at
him with a big smile on his face, and yeah,
it turned into a meme. That's the only thing I
like Pascal, because he's turned into kind of a you know.

Speaker 10 (27:47):
The unbearable weight of massive talent.

Speaker 9 (27:49):
There we go, that's what it was.

Speaker 10 (27:52):
Yes, But anyway, well we'll get ready to see his brother.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
I liked him, I like I don't mind seeing him.
But he's one of those who can't keep his mouth
shut off screen.

Speaker 10 (28:03):
Well because it's his brother in this movie as the
transgender because transgender he really is. So this is a literal.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
This is literal because they couldn't find it a real
man that I gonna play no tranny.

Speaker 10 (28:20):
This real film from Netflix is about a man who
gets surgery to look like a woman but still yearns
for the mines because he's a man, but he has
to the hashtag patriarchy in.

Speaker 7 (28:31):
Order to do so.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oh my, this is an actual show coming out to
Netflix called Queen of Coal.

Speaker 10 (28:39):
It is a real show.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
It might be a real show, it might be a
real movie, but it's not going to get any thumbs
up from.

Speaker 10 (28:46):
Quote a trans woman whis of working the coal mine.
We're done here, but in a town steeped in superstition
and patriot your mic Carlita must fight to earn her
place underground car doesn't Lucas Lucas who now goes by
lux Pascal began transitioning in twenty twenty one and he's

(29:08):
thirty thirty three years old.

Speaker 6 (29:10):
Alita, you can go to the mines with a brawl.

Speaker 10 (29:13):
Who can do it? And don't forget. Netflix wants to
buy Warner Brothers, so they're gonna turn Batman, Lord of
the Rings, Harry Potter and a bunch of other friends.

Speaker 9 (29:24):
It all gay yeah, turning.

Speaker 10 (29:26):
The freaking frogs gay. Meanwhile, have you seen this is
a funny one. Have you seen the refrigerators that have
the screens now right, you've seen that in the in
the homo depots and the Low's. Yeah you did you
hear this story?

Speaker 9 (29:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (29:40):
Yeah, I love this story. You didn't talk about this yet?

Speaker 9 (29:41):
No, I haven't talking about it's hilarious.

Speaker 10 (29:43):
It's insane, but well, it.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Is insane because the person's insane, admittedly.

Speaker 10 (29:48):
Admittedly yeah so, And it was always a joke too
that well, these these television, these televisions, these refrigerators that
have these screens, they're just gonna show you ads all
the time now because they're connected to the Internet. And
all they're going to do is you want this orange juice,
don't you?

Speaker 9 (30:04):
It looks like you're low on men.

Speaker 10 (30:06):
Yeah, you want to watch the show about the transgender
coal miner, don't you.

Speaker 9 (30:10):
Well, while you're making a sandwich, yes, we notice.

Speaker 10 (30:14):
You open your refrigerator a lot to take out those
ice cream drumsticks. We have called the authorities. Anyway, it's
only been a few months since they started showing ads
on refrigerators, and we knew it was going to drive
people crazy. But we kind of thought that was going
to be a metaphorical crazy more than an annoyance. Really,
As it turns out, the ads on refrigerators are driving

(30:35):
actual people crazy. A UK woman's fridge showed her advertisement
in bright yellow that said We're sorry we upset you Carol,
and this woman's name is Carol. The ad was for
the new Vince Gilligan TV show on Apple TV plus
Plumb Plumbus or whatever it's called whatever, and the woman's

(30:57):
name is Carol. Her first response was, my fridge is
speaking to me, So she ordered a cab and checked
herself into a mental hospital. However, it seems Carol has
a history of schizophrenia and psychosis, so no one was
surprised by her deciding to see mental health because she
thought her refrigerator was talking to her. Give it up

(31:17):
for Carol. She did the right thing. She just didn't
start stabbing the refrigerator, not like then other people, not.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Like the kid in Deep Creek sadly. Oh yeah, that's right.
That whole thing is sad.

Speaker 10 (31:30):
Yes, way to bring us down, she's Oh, you were
having so much fun, Yeah I was, Carol. She did
the right thing.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Oh yeah, she did, She really did.

Speaker 10 (31:43):
It was a creepy yellow background, was very ominous, and
it was an advertisement for a TV show that The.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Reason I would never consider one of those types of
fridges is one they're overly expensive and two as much
as you're opening and closing slam and I'm just thinking
that that's the first thing it's gonna break. It's not
going to be it's not gonna be anything that keeps
your food cold. That's working fine. Yeah, it's the little
TV screen yes two o six fifteen eighty, toll free

(32:12):
eight eight eight four four one fifteen eighty. We don't
really have these here, which is nice. We used to
many many moons ago, little office gift exchanges, you know,
the secret sand here exactly.

Speaker 9 (32:31):
It's one reason we don't, uh, but.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
A lot of people are kind of rolling their eyes
at the office emails about secret secret Santas. Yeah, they
just passed out the list over at Vasani. Everybody was
happy over there about the Secret Sands.

Speaker 10 (32:43):
There's some Facebook ad commercial going around that's like an
office secret Santa, and so this guy gets his boss
or whatever and it shows him stalking her on Facebook
to find out she likes the band kiss It's like Facebook,
It's like, yeah, stalk your yeah coworkers.

Speaker 9 (33:02):
Great, that's for you, Stockham, I guess.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
But anyway, a lot of people don't like them anymore,
don't like doing them. They feel pressured to buy many gifts,
like your endless string of nieces and nephews and now
you got your people at the office, you got to
buy four. What the hell you're doing to me? You
don't pay me enough to buy you guys gifts?

Speaker 10 (33:22):
Yeah right.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
According to new report, sixty four percent of companies say
that their employees regularly exchange gifts, but more than half
of the employees say they feel compelled to give things
to multiple co workers. That's well, that's on you, really, Yeah,
why that's not just your friends at work, that's your supervisor,
your boss's boss. Butter up, the senior leadership you know, yes,

(33:45):
of course alast kissing never hurts and the people who
you manage, since they're probably feeling like they should get.

Speaker 9 (33:53):
You a gift.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I don't want anybody feeling they should get me anything,
because I'm not going to be getting you anything. Not
this fine, not this not this year, fine, not this year.

Speaker 10 (34:06):
Buried me, damn it she's buried me about what. It's
a nice Yeah, it's a nice car.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
One third feel a lot or extreme pressure to buy gifts.
Gen Z and millennials are significantly more likely than Gen
X to feel that, and overall, forty six percent feel
pressured to spend a specific amount on gifts. I don't.

Speaker 10 (34:35):
You see, people must learn the love joy way. Just
not care.

Speaker 9 (34:39):
There's a book out there.

Speaker 10 (34:40):
There's a book out there. Not caring the.

Speaker 9 (34:43):
Art of not giving an aff that's what it is. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Gift giving can also open the door to favoritism too,
and foster a sense of obligation that can negatively impact
team dynamics. Yes, so maybe it's not a bad idea
to buy into the secret sand thing, provided it's pitched
as a replacement for personal gift. I like the secrets
Anna better because then you're not compelled to spend a
bunch of money.

Speaker 10 (35:07):
It can be a gag give.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Buy something funny you exactly, a gag gift like.

Speaker 10 (35:11):
What I got you last year, the bald Man's car.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Br Yeah, it's just a wood paddle.

Speaker 10 (35:17):
Yeah, which what he does with that? Other ways we
don't know, you know, but nor do we want. I
like to be bang. But it doesn't comb as butt hair.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
No, there's no there's no bristles on it at all.

Speaker 9 (35:32):
They're not needed because I'm bald. You get it, sure
you do.

Speaker 10 (35:40):
Anyway. But yeah, I like the secrets.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Sanda because that way, you know, nobody knows who gave
it to you.

Speaker 10 (35:46):
Nobody knows, well, no, they know at the end.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Some people will say, oh, that was for me, but
I usually shut up. Nobody knows who got.

Speaker 10 (35:55):
Who got me the twenty five dollars in cash. I
like that. Yeah, that's a good idea.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
That's that's actually better. You can't go wrong with cash,
you really can't.

Speaker 10 (36:05):
I just watched that Seinfeld episode and Jerry gives Alane
under eighty two dollars eighty two specific I know Jerry
says to George, would you get a ninety one dollars
half Elaine? What are you my uncle?

Speaker 15 (36:25):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (36:26):
I don't think, yes, I don't think. I don't know
who this girl is. But if if I was the producer,
I would be an ax singer.

Speaker 9 (36:38):
From the season.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
The mass singer is supposed to be the Mass Singer.
You're not supposed to know who it is until until
the end. Well, some idiot name Kylie Cantrell from Disney's Descendants,
wherever that is. She's a new contestant on the Mass
Singer and she already told everybody she's gonna be on
the Mass Singer.

Speaker 10 (36:57):
Well, you can tell him you're on the Mass Singer.
But there's a bunch of them aready on masters. She said,
Well she's what furry she's dressing up as us.

Speaker 16 (37:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Oh, she's she's not going rogue. No, it's the thing
with no. No, it's a deal with Nick Cannon. She's
gonna be working with him behind the scenes.

Speaker 7 (37:18):
Nick.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Good god, she better she better be wearing a chastity
belt when she's around Nick Cannon. He's knocking everything he
give his hands on. How many kids this guy gott?

Speaker 15 (37:27):
Now?

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Oh sorry, sorry, man, see you nine months.

Speaker 10 (37:34):
I'll stroke your check. Ye. Talk about a secret sand
for the kids too.

Speaker 9 (37:45):
Oh wow.

Speaker 10 (37:47):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
People are doing the weird stuff with the vanilla ice cream.
We saw that soft serve that this guy dipped in
butter melted butter.

Speaker 10 (37:55):
I saw that.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
I don't And then he sprinkled sea salt on it,
and then they dipped it in chalk.

Speaker 10 (38:00):
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
I'd try it. Yeah, I would try it.

Speaker 10 (38:04):
Who's doing that? Some guy up north? Okay, nobody locally. Sadly,
I was gonna say, sadly, like I try. If it
was local, could probably do.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
They would be the only ones that could really probably
pull it off. But now there's a new thing to
do with vanilla ice cream. This is dousing it in
red wine because you're not sad, because you're not sad enough.
And then yes, but but first you got to put
on your robe and your fluffy slippers. Yeah, hold on,
you get that big ball and vanilla ice cream.

Speaker 10 (38:35):
Got the ice cream in one end, and your red
wine and another you.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Know what, the box of red wine, and you know what,
I just give up and put them together.

Speaker 9 (38:43):
Don't forget the tissue.

Speaker 10 (38:44):
I'll tell you what. What is good though, is an
alpha gatto. Have you had an alpha gatto? I don't
think we can say that. Nick Cannon does it all
the time. But go to in Sancon's here in town.
They do it there and it is whatever school scoop
of ice cream you want, with one or two shots
of espresso with it. Ooh, and you put that over

(39:07):
the ice cream.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
That's good that I would try, definitely it doesn't.

Speaker 10 (39:10):
Especially now they've got like the Christmas flavors, you know,
of ice cream and then you put the it's very good.

Speaker 9 (39:16):
It's just down the street.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
You take a bowl of ice cream, then pour some
red wine over it, however much you want. The bizarre
combination is exactly the holidays. The bizarre combination has been
kicking around the Internet for a while, so if you
follow a lot of soccer mom influencers drunken well, I
guess uh many videos don't make it seem appetizing at all.

(39:42):
One reviewer struggled as she powered through several bites before
calling it gross. Absolutely so, it's it's one of these.
It's it's the chikom sucker in the endto doing something
stupid on TikTok so you can look like an idiot.

Speaker 9 (39:55):
That's what it is.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yeah, that's what I thought it was, And Kenny was
correct again. Yeah, because I mean, you know, red wine
and dairy. I mean, aren't you gonn to be getting
a little curdling going on? I don't know, maybe in
a blender. Yeah, make it a shake, make it a shake, yeah,
shake the frothy, frothy. You go with the sangria, though, Yeah,

(40:19):
that little honey. That a little honey to cut the
froth down.

Speaker 10 (40:24):
The fact that you know to do that. Hey man,
what are you putting in your shakes?

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Protein, honey, blueberries, a little better, d ms so a
little better, methylene blue Well, good to go, Good to go,
y'all hooked up for longevity. Uh did I mention that

(40:52):
Greg Morton, he's out there. He's already out there, out there.
Jelly Roll was invited to be a member of the
Grand Old Opry.

Speaker 10 (41:00):
That's fun.

Speaker 6 (41:00):
You believe that.

Speaker 10 (41:01):
I just did see that, and he was crying on
un Joe Rogan, he was crying about it.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
You know, he's really been successful ever since I put
a picture of him on my desk.

Speaker 9 (41:12):
Coincidence. U don't know, you never don't.

Speaker 10 (41:18):
