Christmas and Cara share updates on their upcoming trip to Maine in October where they'll explore the witch museum, take a nighttime haunted tour, and hopefully fit in a day trip to Acadia National Park.
Also, as usual, the conversation took some turns...
• Cara joined the ladies golf league at her country club where she's the youngest by "maybe two decades"
• An unfortunate incident involving a goose on the golf course leads to surprising ball placement
• Excitement builds for their Salem trip in October, including staying next to the witch museum
• Planning a walking food tour in Portland and a visit to the allegedly haunted Bunghole Liquors
• Discussion of Maine-based books including the "Clambake Mysteries" series and "The Frozen River"
• Cara's recent discovery of chimichurri sauce has her putting it on everything from eggs to beans and rice
• Pizza oven adventures and why manufacturers recommend practicing before hosting a pizza party
• Teenage slang evolution: "sus" is now considered cringe but "dodgy" remains timeless

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome back.
Welcome back, erin and Ihaven't talked in like two days,
so we've got a lot to catch upon.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, actually it's been a while since we've
actually like really caught up.
Yeah, I guess we've texted.
I think I was out there three,four weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
No, because I was talking to you in my kitchen
when I was making something justthe other day.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh yeah, I guess we did.
Did chat, but we haven'trecorded in a month no, no, we
haven't recorded.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, we've just had our normal what?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
are you doing?
Doing, life doing life, yeah,um.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
So what did you just?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
tell me I just joined the ladies golf league at the
local country club yeah, you didshe's got the bug, everyone
it's.
I'm so bad.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Every golfer says I'm so bad.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
No, I really am.
I got 12.
Two of the holes I got 12.
On the rules when you have tofollow rules, it's a whole
different game.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It is, it is yeah.
That's why I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I've been following like beginner rules, where if
it's like if it's out of boundsand I can't find it, I just drop
one where I think it went.
Yeah, but allegedly here in therules that we participate in or
play by, everybody has to haveseen where it got or it went,
not just me or we have to findit, or I have to go back to the
tee box and hit again.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, are you liking it?
Is it Tuesdays?
I feel like most of it's.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Wednesday mornings oh mornings, yeah, like I have to
show up by 7.30 or I can't play.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Oh, this is like ladies who don't have like
corporate jobs.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Right, it's mostly retired ladies.
I think Are you the youngestone.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, so far.
By how many decades?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Maybe two.
Okay, it's hard to tell.
I can't tell it is hard to tell.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, I did want to ask.
I can't tell the differencebetween someone who's like 35
and 60.
I'm like who do you think?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, I think there might be some women that are
closer to my age in there, butthe lady that helped me get set
up with it and like kind ofintroduced me to it, she said
that it's like there's like 30or 30 or 39 women between the
(02:15):
ages of 50 and 80.
So, and they're good, they'regood, so they're, they're
kicking my ass.
Ok, and here's what'sinteresting is that they're like
I.
I'm so inconsistent is is mybiggest problem right now.
Like I can hit my driver prettyfar, but not every time.
Sure and so, but they're, andit's not always straight.
So they, but they're hittingvery straight, very consistently
(02:36):
.
It's not crazy far, it's.
They're not clocking like 175yards or anything like that,
which isn't even that far, butthey're consistently going
straight down where they want tobe.
So I'm ending up like in thebunker six times and I spent so
much freaking time in the sand,but I think I think I'm going to
learn a lot about strategy.
Oh, okay, they're super smart.
(02:59):
Like I'm watching them makedecisions that I wouldn't
necessarily have made before Iwas watching them.
The little bit of treacherybeats youth and enthusiasm.
Every time.
They've learned not to be ashopeful as I am.
They're like no, you got to laythat up and just play it from
the side there, don't try to hitit over.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Also, they probably play every day oh.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I don't know if they play every day.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't know Honestly , I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I have no idea.
It doesn't look like even allof them play every Wednesday.
It's like usually between 12and 16 women show up.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Okay, and they just put you on four of them and away
you go.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, you just get an email like Sunday asking if you
want to play Wednesday and yourespond and say yes or no.
So it's not like I don't haveto play every Wednesday, but I
have to play 54 holes before Ican get my handicap and then,
because every Wednesday is atournament, they're playing like
a tournament.
I can't wait to hear what yourhandicap is.
Oh, it's going to be like 50.
Like for sure it's going to beso bad.
(04:04):
I don't even think they letlike it goes as high as I would
be.
So it'll be like max 50 plusmax.
I don't know, it doesn't matterto me, it's like.
At least it's something to likemeasure my progress by, of
course, and I think that they Ithink they connect you like,
they try to keep you infoursomes with people who are
similar handicap to you so thatyou're not like, and then they
send like the fast ladies outfirst, right.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So right, so you don't feel too bad about
yourself and your abilities.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, I will just say , thank jesus, I'm not too, too
competitive.
The only, the only time Iwanted to quit, like I wanted to
walk out and be like fuck, this, I don't want to do this was on
the 15th hole when I I slicedtwo balls right into like the
dry weeds way off the side onthe right, and the second ball
(04:49):
was a provisional ball, so I wassupposed to be able to find at
least one of them, and I had meand like a handful of
octogenarians in there with ourclubs, watching out for snakes,
trying to find.
We're all traipsing through thebushes, getting stickers on our
socks, looking for thesefreaking balls that we can't
find.
Found like six balls, finallyfound my first ball, and I just
felt so bad.
I was like dude, it's like 100degrees out here and I've got
(05:11):
these ladies, the traipsingthrough the underbrush where the
rattlesnakes live looking formy stupid ball.
I'm like you guys, just let medrop one on the side.
They're like nope, nope.
The rule is we gotta find your,your ball.
I did learn later, though,because I stayed and had lunch
with them and we chatted aboutit.
Of course, oh, and hold please.
(05:32):
I did learn that I can, and inthat, if I had actually gotten
like to the point where I waslike I'm just not feeling this
hole, like I just need to stopright now, I could have X'd out
that hole and just not played it, not played the rest of it, and
I just it would have been fine,I could have moved on and done
the next hole, but I would havebeen ineligible for any of the
prizes for the day, which I'mnot eligible for anyway because
(05:53):
I don't have a handicap.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yet Right, how much white wine do they drink at
lunch?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I was the only one who had a glass of white wine.
One of the other gals, barb,had a beer, a gin and tarpon,
let me guess Barb had a beer.
I don't.
I actually didn't.
I wasn't there when all theother ladies ordered.
I didn't really pay attention.
But they didn't have wineglasses or beer and I did notice
that.
No cocktails.
But they did like one of thegirls got a birdie on like the
fourth hole and she's part ofthe birdie club so everybody has
(06:21):
to give her two dollars thatthey're playing with.
My dog just went.
Yeah, I said birdie and um, andthen one of the gals that I was
riding with she was like wantsome birdie juice and she had a
bunch of like little alcoholbottles in her purse in case
anybody got a birdie aimingjuice that's fine, funny.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Um wait, I got one question.
Is Jeremy still taking a breakfrom golf?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I forced him to play on Sunday?
Okay, because we got ourfriends Jared and Laura.
Laura had never played beforeand Jared's pretty good, so we
all decided to go out and playnine holes.
But since it was Laura's firsttime ever, none of us kept score
.
Okay, so I didn't keep score,we just played and had a good
(07:06):
time and it was super easy.
And he said he felt pretty good, pretty good, like he had
enough decent shots that hewasn't going to quit.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
maybe anymore necessarily.
Ok great, Did you have aterrible day?
Because I know usually only oneof you can be good at.
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Perfect.
That's probably good for him,but it was better than last
Wednesday when I played thefirst league day, because,
because no animals were injured.
Sunday I hit a goose, you hit agoose, I hit a goose.
Okay, just picture it.
You're white.
Okay, you've been on a golfcourse.
(07:34):
You know I didn't mean to Manytimes.
I've also been around a lot ofgeese.
I obviously didn't mean to, soyou know how they just flock to
these golf courses and they'realways hanging out and they're
always in the way, but nobodyever really hits them like
you're like shoo, get out ofhere.
But it's rare that theyactually get hit.
Was it a canada goose?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
probably.
What are we gonna?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
revoke my citizenship now, I know blackhead yes.
Brownish yes, feathers yeah soI hit I was trying to hit up
past a bunker onto the green andI swung and it went straight
out like I hit it too thin andit went straight out, bounced
off the duck's ass and whenbounced up onto the green so I
(08:12):
would have been in the bunkerand again on a duck.
What did I say?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
the duck, yeah did you get a duck?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
no, no, just a goose.
But the lady that's in chargeof everything was watching me
and you should have seen herface.
She was was like oh my God.
And I was like horrified, right, because like nobody wants to
hurt animals I mean, if you'renot a psycho and I felt so
freaking bad.
And then she was like trying tomake me feel better.
She's like.
I watched it, it's OK, it's nothurt, it's not hurt.
But I could tell she wassecretly judging me.
(08:39):
She probably thought thatyou're a great shot and you were
aiming for it like you are apsychopath or something.
I couldn't do it again if Itried.
I was so embarrassed of all thelike, everything that I could
have fucked up on.
I fucked up.
You said it bounced before ithit it.
No it, it hit the it.
It went straight, like itbarely went up at all.
(09:00):
It went straight, hit the goosein the fat part of its duck,
its butt, and that's great.
Bounced off its fat butt uponto the green and it was
actually a pretty good shot.
After that, that goose washelping you out.
Oh yeah, if it wasn't for thegoose, I would have been in the
sand again.
I mean they should hire thatgoose.
Oh my.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
God.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Usually I just throw the ball out of the sand because
I mean I'll hit it.
But if it's like one or twotimes, I'm like no, I'm not
doing this, but I had to followthe rules.
So I had to keep hitting ituntil I got out of the fucking
sand.
And they're all watching me andthey're not really allowed to
give me tips.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
How great would it be if you could train a goose to
somehow like just follow youaround the course?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
No one would probably notice for a while and they'd
be like, why is there a goosealways with Kara on every single
one?
It's waiting for its vengeance,waiting for its opportunity.
Yeah, oh my God, though I wastelling Jeremy later.
I'm like what if it had hit itslittle leg and broken its leg
or something Like that actuallywould be fucking devastating,
especially because they need tolike swim yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And would be fucking devastating especially because
they need to like swim, yeah,and I was like, what would you
even do it?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
wouldn't be able to run to take off to fly.
And I was telling my girlfriendthat this weekend when we were
talking and she was like youjust have to grab it by its neck
and swing it around and kill it, probably because she's from a
farm, farming the farm life, andI'm like I probably that's or
that would be the humane thingto do, but could I probably, or
you, just go?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
take it home.
Okay, we no, no, no, no, hearme out, hear me out.
Take it home.
We know you have a residentmountain lion in your canyon.
You release the goose into thecanyon and just go.
Sorry buddy circle of life.
But like hunger games, like no,I think.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I think we would probably have had to like tell
somebody at the clubhouse andhave like somebody braver than
me go out and like put it out ofits misery.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, so many many things can go wrong on the golf
course next time you see thatmountain lion, you tell it that
I was voting for it to get aneasy meal, but no.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I've already given that mountain lion an easy meal.
My cat disappeared years ago,remember.
Oh, that's true.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Striker was cat food.
It's going to be Striker.
Actually it probably wascoyotes.
It probably wasn't the mountainlion.
Yeah, I don't even think amountain lion would bother with
a cat Plus.
Isn't that kind of weird?
Isn't that cannibalism?
Cat?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
on cat.
Yeah, cat on cat seems weird.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, I don't feel like that's happening.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That seems kind of not quite cannibalism, but not
quite not cannibalism.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's a gray area.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I mean there's birds that eat other birds, though all
the time.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I suppose Did I send you a picture of that hawk that
was parked in my backyardrecently.
Well, maybe Let me look.
Hold on, it was so, it was so.
I was like I was enamored.
It was sitting on the littleconcrete ledge in the backyard
and I wanted to go feed it.
And it was so cool, it satthere forever and Jeremy's like
don't feed it, they eat meat andshit, they do eat meat and shit
(12:02):
.
No, you didn't.
Oh well, I'll have to send itto you then.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
The only picture I have of a bird that you sent me
is a bird eating popcorn andputting on binoculars.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
That sounds like something I would send you.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Oh, that's because we were talking about the
cryptozoology museum.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Oh, yeah, okay, so we'll just have a little intro
on the golf here, and then let'sjump into what we're actually
talking about today.
Yes, we're not here to talkabout golf.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
No, this is not a golf podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I know I'm so sad that you don't like golf.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's kind of my big rebellion.
For those of you who don't know, my half-brother is a teaching
pro.
My dad lives by a golf course.
After he retired he worked atsaid golf course for many years.
My husband plays golf fourtimes a week probably.
I'm at a golf course a lot.
(13:00):
I grew up around golf a lot.
My big rebellion is that Idon't really play.
I would probably play if I wasbetter at it, but also I really
suck Me too.
Yeah, I suck worse than you,way worse than you, in fact oh
well, we'll probably never knowwell, I'll go out sometime just
(13:21):
so you can see, like, how bad itreally is.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It'll make you feel really good about yourself,
drive, just drive the cart andhave have drinks with me.
Yeah, absolutely, I'll be yourswing coach.
Okay, did I tell you that oncewhen we were golfing I was, I
wasn't, I don't hit ball.
Oh, yeah, the guy.
The guy was like I thought Iwas coach.
Yeah, some guy thought I wasjeremy's coach because I was
standing behind him telling himto keep his head down and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, sometimes to let you go out if you're not
playing.
You have to tell him you'relike a swing coach or something.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I didn't know that I've been a swing coach.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'm real good at it.
Okay, but we're not talkingabout golf.
This is not a golf podcast.
Nope, I'll never speak of itagain.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Speak of what Exactly ?
Nope, I'll never speak of itagain.
Speak of what?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Exactly Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
What we are here to talk about is our next trip,
which I am getting very excited.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Which we talked about a little bit.
We did release an episodealready announcing where we were
going.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yes, oh yes no-transcript.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
So we are also going to Kara.
You want to announce Salem?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yes, yes, we're going to Salem in October, which I
realize a lot of people in Salemhave said oh my God, it's crazy
.
It's going to be so crazy there, which great.
That's part of the fun.
We're here for the tourists,tourism Well, and town that
celebrates witches for a monthstraight.
Sign me up, please.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, I think it's going to be probably insane.
We'll probably need to get somedinner reservations places.
We almost didn't get a place tostay because everybody was
booking up so quickly.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, you're right, we should probably make some
reservations.
We'll get on that.
Also, we figured out going upone day to Acadia National Park
for some leaf peeping.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I'm actually not looking forward to that drive.
It's going to be so long.
I mean we don't have to do itif you don't want to do it.
I mean I do want to see a kid.
I feel like it would be kind ofa shame not to I feel, I feel
both of those things, but alsoit's I mean, we have time.
I think we're there for likeeight days or like well we're in
.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I think we're like four days.
I think we're well because wehave Seattle on either end.
Well, I guess just on the backend.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, so the way that we have to do it because
Christmas lives in Santa Rosaand I live closer to Sacramento
than she does is she's flyingout of Santa Rosa and I'm flying
out of Sacramento, but we'remeeting in Seattle because all
the flights kind of go, they cango through Seattle anyway.
So we're meeting up there andthen we're going to fly back
east together and then and watchmurder.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
She wrote episodes the whole time the entire time,
even the that are so bad.
Oh, there's oh and uh.
You may or may not have noticed, if you saw my instagram
stories, just this past weekendI attended for the second time a
solve along murder.
She wrote theater.
A Solve Along Murder she Wrotetheater.
I did see that it's so fun.
(16:42):
It's this Australian guy who'sanother total Murder.
She Wrote super fan and he doesa one man show like in drag,
kind of dressed as JB.
It's so great, he's so great.
He does it all like in the UK aton.
I think that's his full timegig is.
He just travels around the UKwhere apparently it's also very
(17:02):
popular, and he's been in SanFrancisco twice now.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
So what a strange job .
Like what do you do?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I want to figure out a way to leave my life and go
join him and be his assistantand just cruise around and watch
him do the show.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I feel like it would get old doing the same thing
every night, though, don't youWell?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
he does a different episode every night, Kara.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh, I guess that would make a difference.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You talk about who the guest stars are, what they
were in before.
Everyone like holds up a thingif someone does something that
they think is shady or suspish.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Uh-huh, oh yeah, because we're not supposed to
say sus anymore.
I've told my teenage son justtold me that's cringe when I say
sus, but we can still saycringe, yep, certain things are
still okay.
I said no cap the other day andhe was like I had to look at
him and he said no, that's fine.
I haven't heard that sus is notokay yet well, you're gonna
(18:03):
hear it if you say it aroundparker okay, I'll have to ask
ben and shane, my niece and I'mcurious.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, so random question.
Now you cut out for a second.
What'd you say?
Oh, I said so I just callrandom question is sus lame now.
Oh yeah, they'll be like Idon't know actually I mean,
aren't they in southerncalifornia?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
is there?
For a second, what'd you say?
Oh, I said so.
I just call random question.
Is sus lame now?
Oh yeah, they'll be like Idon't know.
Actually, I mean, aren't theyin Southern California Is there?
Maybe it's?
Yeah, they're.
They're both in Santa Barbara.
Maybe it's been lame for longerdown there than it has up here.
You know we're a little sloweron the trend.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Um is suspish okay.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Well, that's what made me think, say sus no Is
dodgy.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, because I usually use dodgy.
Dodgy is classic.
Yeah, the classics never go outof step.
Put the hat to dodgy.
So yeah, salem witchiness, ifanyone has hot tips on where to
eat.
What to do?
We're definitely going on anighttime haunted tour.
I would really like to get areading while we're there.
(19:07):
Um, we're staying right nextdoor to the witch museum.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, because you kind of did the, you did the
searching on where we were goingto stay in salem and kind of
chose where we were going tostay in Salem and kind of chose,
where we were going to stay.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yes, well, it was also a matter of what is even
still available as October, andI think we have can figure it
out, which I know is challenging, apparently.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
But you've also confirmed that we will not be
driving a giant trans or a giantlike sprinter van this time.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
So it should no, it should be no we will not be
driving a giant sprinter van.
We will not be driving a littletiny thing though, because I
don't like driving little tinythings, and if we do go to
acadia, I'm not trying to spendsix hours in a dumb little car.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, no, that'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I think I mean we should probably go to Acadia.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I mean, we kind of decided already that we were
going to spend one day and go dothat, right, and I've heard Bar
Harbor's up.
Well, that way we can.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Bar Harbor is the little town that's like next to
Acadia.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, I've heard a lot about.
I keep seeing that show up onmy TikTok as like one of the
cutest Bahaba Bahaba.
It's like one of the cutesttowns you have to see in Maine.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Okay well.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I mean Go see it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, we'll record in the car.
We'll talk about nothingnessfor three hours.
It'll be great.
I'm excited, I'm really excited.
I'm very excited.
I'm getting more excited.
How many you were the one thattold me that there is an entire
Cozy Murder book series.

I think you will really enjoy.
Actually, yeah, it's calledClammed Up, it's Barbara Ross,
it's cute.
I think you will really enjoyit because oh, I've read the
first four.
Oh, you've read.
Oh, shut up.
Really, I'm still like a thirdof the way through the second
one, because it's just it's waymore you than it is me oh,
(21:13):
absolutely, but it's still noThursday murder club.
Let's be real nobody's gonna bethe like.
I challenge someone to writesomething better than the
Thursday Murder Club.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
They probably already have, we just don't know it.
But also, if someone knows ofsomething, send it our way.
It was.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I was.
I can't wait for the next oneto come out, but I did get
another book that takes place inMaine in like 1750s through the
1790s.
I know you hate historicalfiction, but it's also a little
bit of a murder mystery.
Okay, it's called the FrozenRiver.
It's about a midwife who, youknow, has her life out there in
(21:52):
the frozen tundra in the winterand chaos ensues.
I'm way more enthralled with itthan I have been with the
Clammed Up series.
It's not a clam dunk, I saidclammed up.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Oh, I thought you said clam dunk.
It's a main clam.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It's a clam, dunk now .
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I shouldn't say I've read the first four, since it's
been a lot of audible also.
This trip is going to be a clamdunk audible also this trip is
going to be a clam dunk, okay,frozen river right, yeah, you'll
love it.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Starts with murder right away.
Oh, right out of the gate.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I like that gate murder.
I like the sound of that, okay,okay, um.
So I shouldn't start numberfive, I guess.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Oh, you do whatever you want, I know you love your
cozy?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh, I will, but there's also 12.
I'm like I could just, oh God,really, yeah, there's 12.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's a lot.
That's like Stephanie Plumseries, like one for the money,
two for yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, yeah, I read like all the way through 19 and
then I was like when you werepregnant, it started way through
19 and then I was like, whenyou were pregnant, it started
before I was pregnant.
But yeah, I was totally intothat when I was pregnant.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Um, I will say, the more of them I read, the more I
do enjoy the characters.
Obviously, the guys what's theguy that runs the restaurant?
Gus Gus?
Yeah, I love him.
There are some.
I can see some of thecharacters being like growing on
you.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, for sure, and I'm enjoying seeing how Chris
and Julia are navigating things.
Okay, no, spoilers.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I'm assuming they'll probably.
It doesn't seem like that Jamieguy is going to get the girl.
The policeman friend who triedto.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I know who you're talking about.
I'm just trying to remainneutral.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Oh God, okay Well, maybe we shouldn't talk about it
then, because I do, I will keepreading.
Um, I just need to get boredenough, yeah which one.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
What's going on in the second one?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
the guy was found in the claminator.
Oh, that's right, and um, thekid that's sticking, and the kid
that the foot sticking out,yeah, the foot sticking out of
the barbecue.
Basically, cade, yeah, cade,and they, yeah, they suspect
Cade, but I mean it's probablynot Cade.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The fact that you get to say Claminator, yeah, it's
worth it.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think I've never said it out loud.
When I read that, I was allyeah, that's a great name, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
The Claminator.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Super funny, I love it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
We also have another trip coming up in two weeks,
three weeks, 18 days, so that'sgoing to be exciting.
Yep, yeah, we're going to theEastern Sierras.
I'm not going to say whereexactly, because I don't want it
to get too popular.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
That's fine, that's fair yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
But we'll just Mammoth-ish, huh, mammoth-ish,
mammoth-ish, mammoth-jacent.
Yeah, you don't have to be incharge of any dinners, but you
do have to help me with one ofthem.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That's fine.
I'll help you with whatever youwant, and if you want me to be
in charge of a dinner, I will.
I just hate cooking.
I know you hate it and I likeit.
If I never had to cook again inmy life I'd be so happy, and I
know you love it.
You'd be sad, I would bedevastated.
I was thinking of you earliertoday because I think that it
will shock you to know that Ijust had chimichurri for the
very first time.
What, really?
(25:21):
Yeah, really, and I lovecilantro, so I don't know what
happened.
Like somebody really droppedthe ball in my life that I
haven't had it until just now.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well, okay, but a lot of it is going to be at like,
like more Peruvian restaurants,like South south american
restaurants, and you guysprobably don't have a lot of
south.
I mean, you probably havemexican, but not like true south
america, like argentinian food,I don't know I just know I've
seen it on menus before, butI've always been like I don't
(25:53):
know.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
That's a weird name um, you can make it because I I
know cilantro can be reallypolarizing for some people.
I love cilantro same, butthere's the people that have
that gene where it tastes likedirt to them or something soap.
So I have also had friends makeit with parsley.
Um, all parsley, or parsley andbasil.
(26:17):
You can kind of make whatever.
I personally love a cilantrochimichurri.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
My girlfriend made it on the 4th of July and it was
for Jeremy, because they werewhat am I trying to say right
now?
They were smoking a whole bunchof meat and he still doesn't
eat meat.
I ate a rib, which wasdelicious because I'm starting
to eat a little bit more meat,but he still really doesn't want
to.
So she made these likeportabellos.
She baked these portabellos sothey wouldn't get contaminated
in the smoke with the meat.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Oh, that's so nice of her.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
She made these like chimichurri sass, but she forgot
about it, so it was in thefridge and so she gave it to us
and said you've got to take thishome, put it on anything.
So we started with it on ourscrambled eggs.
Oh my God, that was amazing.
Okay, never put it on scrambledeggs before.
And then I made beans and ricelast night and like chopped up a
whole bunch of tofu and wemixed that Like it was basically
(27:05):
beans and rice, like red beansand rice, but it was brown beans
and chimichurri.
Oh great, I had it cold forbreakfast and for lunch.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It was so freaking good, I discovered something
that I think you will reallylike, but I don't want to tell
you about it.
I'm just going to show you whenwe go on our trip, which one?
The one in 18 days.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Okay, because I got you and me a present.

This is exciting.
Well, I have one that I.
How funny would it be if we gotthe same thing.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Oh God, it's the gift of the magi.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I'm going to die if it's the same thing.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I guarantee it's not Okay, but I have something to
give you for our mammoth tripand I have something that I'm
not going to give you untilwe're on our way to Maine.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Oh, geez Okay.

Okay, that's fine.
It's not a traveling gift, weneed to be stationary.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I know.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
What could it be that it can't happen on a plane?
I know Damn You're just gonnalove it.
Well, we shall see, shan't we.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
We shall.
I'm super excited about thetrip, though I love.
I've always wanted to go toMaine.
I love seafood.
I'm not so sure about oystersbut I like oysters, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I don't, I'm not like crazy, crazy about.
I like them, but I'm not.
Don't think they're like myfavorite of the seafoods, that's
for sure.
They're probably not even myfavorite of the mollusks.
Uh, concerning, well, I do love, uh like mussels in white wine
and butter with crusty breadsounds good.
Steamed clams here for it, clamstrips, oh I don't think I've
(29:04):
ever had clam strips I'll fuckup a clam strip.
Oh yeah, um, I'm excited for alot of weird lobster stuff weird
love.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Oh, we've.
We booked a walking food tour?
Yes, we did, as we usually do,Portland.
Always try to do that if we can.
Yeah, that's good.
I think we did like the threeor four, I don't know it's it's
long.
I think it's longer than thelast one we did in Juneau, I
think.
I know I'm really excited.
It sounded like everything wewould want to try was on the
(29:35):
list.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
And we'll learn about Portland and its history.
And, oh, we're also going to aplace that I'm super excited
about Bunghole Liquors oh right,supposed to be haunted, and
it's called Bunghole Liquors.
I will be buying merch.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I would hope so.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It's like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yeah, I've told a couple peoplewho have requested, if they
have them, like can koozies?
Yeah, from the bunghole.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, gotta enjoy this trip and get lots of
souvenirs.
I don't think I don't seemyself spending a lot of time or
going back necessarily.
It's so far it's not like it'sEurope Cara.
It still feels like it's EuropeCara.
It still feels like it.
It sucks up a whole day oneither end for travel.
So does Hawaii Not really it'slike four hours to get to Hawaii
, or five maybe.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's five one way, six the other.
I only know that because myhusband is headed there next
week.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh, golf, yeah, so you're going to be headed there
next week.
Oh, oh, golf, golf, that'sright, yeah, so you're going to
be eating mushrooms next week.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Oh, I had some great mushrooms last night.
I did a mushroom.
I got a, went to the farmer'smarket, got a huge thing of a
bunch of mixed, super fancymushrooms, cooked them in butter
, a little bit of cream, sherry,some herbs, and then I actually
made not really a chimichurri,but kind of a chimichurri I like
(30:59):
chopped up a bunch of parsley,added some garlic, lemon, tiny
bit of champagne vinegar, and soI went sourdough toast that I
fried in the pan in the mushroombutter.
I fried in the pan in themushroom butter burrata, all the
(31:19):
sauteed mushrooms and then alittle sprinkle of the.
I'll show you a picture.
So good, oh, you took a pictureof it.
Yeah, to send to my husband tobe like tell me your husband's
out of town without telling meyour husband's out of town.

Oh, I'm in the wrong thing.
Oh, yeah, here we go.
I don't know if you can seethat.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Oh, that looks beautiful.
Damn oh, I can't.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
No, I saw it, I can see it.
That looks amazing, it wasamazing.
It was great.
Love brada.
Yeah, I can't go wrong withbrada.
Um, I think I'm gonna try dosome practice pizzas on the
pizza oven tonight oh, becausewe're doing pizza on this trip,
this next trip, aren't?
We have our portable pizza ovenand I want to get good at it,
(32:18):
like good at the crusts, and Ikind of want to practice when my
husband's not here, because Ican try methods that he might
balk at.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Do you guys disagree on cooking methodologies?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
No, I just want to get better than him, faster.
I see?
No, it's just my competitbetter than him faster?
I see no it's just mycompetitiveness that tracks.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah.
Is that why you don't golf?
You're too competitive.
You want to be good at it oryou don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm fine doing things that I'mbad at, but I want to get good
at making pizza.
I wanted to get good at makingpasta.
I feel like I'm good at makinghomemade pasta.
I want to get good at makingpizza.
I wanted to get good at makingpasta.
I feel like I'm good at makinghomemade pasta.
I want to get good at pizza,especially because we have a
little pizza oven.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I mean homemade pizza is amazing.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
It is.
Did I tell you when we weretaking it out of the box?
In the directions it says likein bold italicized font Make
sure you practice times beforeyou invite anyone over for a
pizza party, which is truebecause the first time we tried
it we almost got divorced.
(33:21):
It was terrible, but we'regetting ever better each time.
But it made me wonder, likewhat happened at that company,
that the attorneys were likeguys.
We got to just put it in theinstructions.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
We really need a disclaimer for this.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
We need a disclaimer to not invite your friends.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
It almost makes me wonder if somebody actually
tried to sue them because theirmarriage fell apart.
I wonder.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Or maybe they just got a ton of irate messages.
I invited all my friends overfor a pizza party and I look
like a loser.
Probably, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I'm so excited about my new pizza oven.
Everybody come over, let's havesome pizza Fail, yeah, yeah.
And then you have to blamesomebody.
You can't blame yourself, right?
So you have to blame the pizzaoven company.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Well, what do you do with all the hungry people you
have to order in pizza Pizza?
Yeah.
Well, what do you do with allthe hungry people you have to
order in pizza pizza?
Yeah, if you didn't have abackup, if you didn't allot for
failure, everybody just go homehungry.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Sorry, eat some cheese and crackers for dinner.
You're on your own.
Sorry, I guess you won't be inaccepting any of my invites
anymore there's a recipe forchimichurri.
You can put it on anythingthat's a good way to get out of
having to host stuff.
Just serve everyone.
One terrible meal.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Give everyone food poisoning once.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Nobody asks me to bring anything to the potlucks
anymore.
So weird.
Why am I always in charge ofbeverages?
Yeah, you're so good at it,kara.
Yeah, that actually soundsgreat.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, I would rather be in charge of the food than
the beverages.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I did bring an appetizer to the 4th of July and
she had a bunch of stuff theretoo.
She had these like watermelonskewers with feta on them and
stuff oh my God, it was so goodand mint which I had never had
before, but they were good.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You've never had watermelon, feta and mint.
Nope, Good fucking Christ goodfucking christ.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Hey, look, it's a big , wide world.
There's lots of stuff to eat.
Okay, I'm working on eatingmore of it.
Okay, that's great that's greatthere.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
There.
This is very true.
There it is a big, wide worldwith lots of things to eat.
I venture to say that up untilrecently you probably didn't eat
a lot of those different things, like when Parker was growing
up.
I bet you ate a lot of the samestuff that's.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
a big part of it is that if I'm making, if I have to
cook for my family and I've gota five-year-old or a
10-year-old.
He was a picky eater when hewas little and Jeremy's a picky
eater too, so I'm not going toscrew around.
Nobody in my family is eatingfeta on watermelon.
I mean they might now try it um,I don't know if he did, he
probably would try it now and hewould probably like it, but he
didn't.
(35:59):
I don't think he liked, likeI'm trying to remember.
It's only a recent developmentthat he likes, like goat cheese
and salads and things like that.
Okay, so we're getting more.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I'm gonna.
I'm gonna get him with the tunaone of these days.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I think you will, because he really does.
He's starting to eat a littlebit more dairy.
I've noticed like not not thathe was ever weird about dairy,
but like he didn't like likesour cream was was too far what
do you put on a goddamn bigpotato?
butter and cheese okay, andvegan chili okay.
(36:33):
But I made these little um.
I couldn't find the longerskewers at the grocery store, so
I got toothpicks and I madelittle caprese, like one bite
caprese skewers, with just thethree, you know, the tomato, the
cheese and the basil.
And then I put um reducedbalsamic all over it and it was
(36:54):
it was glaze.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah, it's delicious.
Um, yeah, you could just tellpeople I meant to do that.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
They're single serving well, it worked out
better anyway, because then youdidn't have to like risk
skewering yourself in the mouthor using your hands to slide it
up the skewer or no.
You just do this method.
Oh yeah, that's not how I'mabout it.
That seems messy.
It probably is messy, itprobably is.
I've been seeing these corn onthe cob, like these de-corners,
(37:20):
if that makes sense Like it'sthis, like little shovel that
you use and you slide it downthe corn cob and it takes the
corn off the cob.
Have you seen those?
I wonder if they work.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
You know what else works.
It's this thing, perhaps you'veheard of it.
It's called a kn.
You've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
It's called a knife, uh yeah, but it's not shaped the
right way.
This thing is shaped like ashovel.
It's like kind of round likethe corn.
Have you tried it?
No, I'm asking if you've seenit.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I might, I might buy one.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I love corn, but I love gadgets.
I know you do, you.
You wait, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna try one, and thenyou're going to be singing its
praises.
I can't wait.
Frickin' knife what am I?
I also know you have niceknives.
I do have nice knives, thanksto you, wow.
And you know what's wonderfulis that my family forgets that
(38:10):
they're here.
I'm the only one who uses them,because we mounted the magnetic
.
We mounted the magnetic stripup under the counter, so you
can't see them, unless you knowthey're there out of sight, out
of mind handy.
If someone ever broke in andtried to attack me, I'd be like
aha, grab my knife.
They wouldn't even see itcoming.
Well, you just keep a sock onyour bat.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
A sock on my bat.
Yeah, then, when you try to hitthe intruder with the bat, if
they grab the bat, the sockpulls right off and you go.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
That's a second time, motherfucker?
I have heard that, yeah, andyou definitely would go in for a
second one.
And then you got to keep thebig zip ties on hand so you can
secure the perp while you call911.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Right, or picture me hold still, sir, as I put
together seven tiny zip ties.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, that was funny when you said that, because I'm
picturing these big assindustrial ones that Jeremy has
in the garage that you couldeasily, like the kind of cops
carry around.
I do have gorilla tape thatwould probably work too.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
You'd have to do it behind their back, though,
because if it was in the frontthey could.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Could probably just I'd just hog, tie them like all
four of them, just right, orfour of them gorilla tape around
their head.
Yeah, I'd, I'd gorilla tapetheir head to the ground, to my
hardwood floors.
I'd lay them out like likejesus on the cross and I'd tape
them to my floor.
They're not going goinganywhere.
(39:34):
The cops show up.
They're like what the hellhappened here?
Speaker 1 (39:38):
The perp is like please take me, please get me
out of here.
He's like I'd like to presscharges.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, this lady is kookaroo Take me far away,
please.
Yeah, yeah, but anyway.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
I digress yeah, what do you got going on this weekend
?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
I'm supposed to go paddle boarding with a couple of
girlfriends on Saturday.
Fun, and I might try toconvince Jeremy to golf again on
Sunday, but we'll see howexcited he is about that.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Are you bringing a paddleboard?
Speaker 2 (40:08):
to our camping trip.
I can I have two of them.
Should I bring both?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, Okay, my sister and brother-in-law will
probably bring theirs.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Okay, we're bringing the van, so I have plenty of
room to bring crap.
Okay, great, yeah, what are youdoing this?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
weekend.
Well, I was supposed to bevending at the Los Altos Art and
Wine Festival, but I was ontheir waiting list and I have
not heard from them, so I wouldassume.
But I was on their waiting listand I have not heard from them,
so I would assume that I am notvending, although I told them.
(40:43):
You know, if you let me know byThursday, I could probably pull
it together and the lady'ssuper nice, she's like we really
would like to have you.
She might say that to everyone.
We'll see.
So yeah, well, goddamn waitlists.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
I mean, you very rarely have a weekend that's not
booked out.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
It's true it's true, it wouldn't be terrible to hang
out, nice to have a, a littlebreak.
Yeah, um, okay.
Well, I love you.
I love you too, and I guess welove you too, dear listeners.
We love you too, and I guess welove you too, dear listeners,
we love you too, and we willprobably be here again soon,
(41:22):
sometime, sure will, sure will.

actually like really caught up.
Yeah, I guess we've texted.
I think I was out there three,four weeks ago.

Every golfer says I'm so bad.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
No, I really am.
I got 12.
Two of the holes I got 12.
On the rules when you have tofollow rules, it's a whole
different game.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It is, it is yeah.
That's why I don't do that.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I've been following like beginner rules, where if
it's like if it's out of boundsand I can't find it, I just drop
one where I think it went.
Yeah, but allegedly here in therules that we participate in or
play by, everybody has to haveseen where it got or it went,
not just me or we have to findit, or I have to go back to the
tee box and hit again.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, are you liking it?
Is it Tuesdays?
I feel like most of it's.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Wednesday mornings oh mornings, yeah, like I have to
show up by 7.30 or I can't play.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Oh, this is like ladies who don't have like
corporate jobs.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Right, it's mostly retired ladies.
I think Are you the youngestone.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, so far.
By how many decades?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Maybe two.
Okay, it's hard to tell.
I can't tell it is hard to tell.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, I did want to ask.
I can't tell the differencebetween someone who's like 35
and 60.
I'm like who do you think?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, I think there might be some women that are
closer to my age in there, butthe lady that helped me get set
up with it and like kind ofintroduced me to it, she said
that it's like there's like 30or 30 or 39 women between the
(02:15):
ages of 50 and 80.
So, and they're good, they'regood, so they're, they're
kicking my ass.
Ok, and here's what'sinteresting is that they're like
I.
I'm so inconsistent is is mybiggest problem right now.
Like I can hit my driver prettyfar, but not every time.
Sure and so, but they're, andit's not always straight.
So they, but they're hittingvery straight, very consistently
(02:36):
.
It's not crazy far, it's.
They're not clocking like 175yards or anything like that,
which isn't even that far, butthey're consistently going
straight down where they want tobe.
So I'm ending up like in thebunker six times and I spent so
much freaking time in the sand,but I think I think I'm going to
learn a lot about strategy.
Oh, okay, they're super smart.
(02:59):
Like I'm watching them makedecisions that I wouldn't
necessarily have made before Iwas watching them.
The little bit of treacherybeats youth and enthusiasm.
Every time.
They've learned not to be ashopeful as I am.
They're like no, you got to laythat up and just play it from
the side there, don't try to hitit over.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Also, they probably play every day oh.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I don't know if they play every day.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't know Honestly , I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I have no idea.
It doesn't look like even allof them play every Wednesday.
It's like usually between 12and 16 women show up.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Okay, and they just put you on four of them and away
you go.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, you just get an email like Sunday asking if you
want to play Wednesday and yourespond and say yes or no.
So it's not like I don't haveto play every Wednesday, but I
have to play 54 holes before Ican get my handicap and then,
because every Wednesday is atournament, they're playing like
a tournament.
I can't wait to hear what yourhandicap is.
Oh, it's going to be like 50.
Like for sure it's going to beso bad.
(04:04):
I don't even think they letlike it goes as high as I would
be.
So it'll be like max 50 plusmax.
I don't know, it doesn't matterto me, it's like.
At least it's something to likemeasure my progress by, of
course, and I think that they Ithink they connect you like,
they try to keep you infoursomes with people who are
similar handicap to you so thatyou're not like, and then they
send like the fast ladies outfirst, right.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So right, so you don't feel too bad about
yourself and your abilities.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, I will just say , thank jesus, I'm not too, too
competitive.
The only, the only time Iwanted to quit, like I wanted to
walk out and be like fuck, this, I don't want to do this was on
the 15th hole when I I slicedtwo balls right into like the
dry weeds way off the side onthe right, and the second ball
(04:49):
was a provisional ball, so I wassupposed to be able to find at
least one of them, and I had meand like a handful of
octogenarians in there with ourclubs, watching out for snakes,
trying to find.
We're all traipsing through thebushes, getting stickers on our
socks, looking for thesefreaking balls that we can't
find.
Found like six balls, finallyfound my first ball, and I just
felt so bad.
I was like dude, it's like 100degrees out here and I've got
(05:11):
these ladies, the traipsingthrough the underbrush where the
rattlesnakes live looking formy stupid ball.
I'm like you guys, just let medrop one on the side.
They're like nope, nope.
The rule is we gotta find your,your ball.
I did learn later, though,because I stayed and had lunch
with them and we chatted aboutit.
Of course, oh, and hold please.
(05:32):
I did learn that I can, and inthat, if I had actually gotten
like to the point where I waslike I'm just not feeling this
hole, like I just need to stopright now, I could have X'd out
that hole and just not played it, not played the rest of it, and
I just it would have been fine,I could have moved on and done
the next hole, but I would havebeen ineligible for any of the
prizes for the day, which I'mnot eligible for anyway because
(05:53):
I don't have a handicap.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yet Right, how much white wine do they drink at
lunch?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I was the only one who had a glass of white wine.
One of the other gals, barb,had a beer, a gin and tarpon,
let me guess Barb had a beer.
I don't.
I actually didn't.
I wasn't there when all theother ladies ordered.
I didn't really pay attention.
But they didn't have wineglasses or beer and I did notice
that.
No cocktails.
But they did like one of thegirls got a birdie on like the
fourth hole and she's part ofthe birdie club so everybody has
(06:21):
to give her two dollars thatthey're playing with.
My dog just went.
Yeah, I said birdie and um, andthen one of the gals that I was
riding with she was like wantsome birdie juice and she had a
bunch of like little alcoholbottles in her purse in case
anybody got a birdie aimingjuice that's fine, funny.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Um wait, I got one question.
Is Jeremy still taking a breakfrom golf?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I forced him to play on Sunday?
Okay, because we got ourfriends Jared and Laura.
Laura had never played beforeand Jared's pretty good, so we
all decided to go out and playnine holes.
But since it was Laura's firsttime ever, none of us kept score
.
Okay, so I didn't keep score,we just played and had a good
(07:06):
time and it was super easy.
And he said he felt pretty good, pretty good, like he had
enough decent shots that hewasn't going to quit.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
maybe anymore necessarily.
Ok great, Did you have aterrible day?
Because I know usually only oneof you can be good at.
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Perfect.
That's probably good for him,but it was better than last
Wednesday when I played thefirst league day, because,
because no animals were injured.
Sunday I hit a goose, you hit agoose, I hit a goose.
Okay, just picture it.
You're white.
Okay, you've been on a golfcourse.
(07:34):
You know I didn't mean to Manytimes.
I've also been around a lot ofgeese.
I obviously didn't mean to, soyou know how they just flock to
these golf courses and they'realways hanging out and they're
always in the way, but nobodyever really hits them like
you're like shoo, get out ofhere.
But it's rare that theyactually get hit.
Was it a canada goose?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
probably.
What are we gonna?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
revoke my citizenship now, I know blackhead yes.
Brownish yes, feathers yeah soI hit I was trying to hit up
past a bunker onto the green andI swung and it went straight
out like I hit it too thin andit went straight out, bounced
off the duck's ass and whenbounced up onto the green so I
(08:12):
would have been in the bunkerand again on a duck.
What did I say?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
the duck, yeah did you get a duck?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
no, no, just a goose.
But the lady that's in chargeof everything was watching me
and you should have seen herface.
She was was like oh my God.
And I was like horrified, right, because like nobody wants to
hurt animals I mean, if you'renot a psycho and I felt so
freaking bad.
And then she was like trying tomake me feel better.
She's like.
I watched it, it's OK, it's nothurt, it's not hurt.
But I could tell she wassecretly judging me.
(08:39):
She probably thought thatyou're a great shot and you were
aiming for it like you are apsychopath or something.
I couldn't do it again if Itried.
I was so embarrassed of all thelike, everything that I could
have fucked up on.
I fucked up.
You said it bounced before ithit it.
No it, it hit the it.
It went straight, like itbarely went up at all.
(09:00):
It went straight, hit the goosein the fat part of its duck,
its butt, and that's great.
Bounced off its fat butt uponto the green and it was
actually a pretty good shot.
After that, that goose washelping you out.
Oh yeah, if it wasn't for thegoose, I would have been in the
sand again.
I mean they should hire thatgoose.
Oh my.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
God.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Usually I just throw the ball out of the sand because
I mean I'll hit it.
But if it's like one or twotimes, I'm like no, I'm not
doing this, but I had to followthe rules.
So I had to keep hitting ituntil I got out of the fucking
sand.
And they're all watching me andthey're not really allowed to
give me tips.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
How great would it be if you could train a goose to
somehow like just follow youaround the course?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
No one would probably notice for a while and they'd
be like, why is there a goosealways with Kara on every single
one?
It's waiting for its vengeance,waiting for its opportunity.
Yeah, oh my God, though I wastelling Jeremy later.
I'm like what if it had hit itslittle leg and broken its leg
or something Like that actuallywould be fucking devastating,
especially because they need tolike swim yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And would be fucking devastating especially because
they need to like swim, yeah,and I was like, what would you
even do it?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
wouldn't be able to run to take off to fly.
And I was telling my girlfriendthat this weekend when we were
talking and she was like youjust have to grab it by its neck
and swing it around and kill it, probably because she's from a
farm, farming the farm life, andI'm like I probably that's or
that would be the humane thingto do, but could I probably, or
you, just go?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
take it home.
Okay, we no, no, no, no, hearme out, hear me out.
Take it home.
We know you have a residentmountain lion in your canyon.
You release the goose into thecanyon and just go.
Sorry buddy circle of life.
But like hunger games, like no,I think.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I think we would probably have had to like tell
somebody at the clubhouse andhave like somebody braver than
me go out and like put it out ofits misery.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, so many many things can go wrong on the golf
course next time you see thatmountain lion, you tell it that
I was voting for it to get aneasy meal, but no.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I've already given that mountain lion an easy meal.
My cat disappeared years ago,remember.
Oh, that's true.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Striker was cat food.
It's going to be Striker.
Actually it probably wascoyotes.
It probably wasn't the mountainlion.
Yeah, I don't even think amountain lion would bother with
a cat Plus.
Isn't that kind of weird?
Isn't that cannibalism?
Cat?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
on cat.
Yeah, cat on cat seems weird.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah, I don't feel like that's happening.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That seems kind of not quite cannibalism, but not
quite not cannibalism.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It's a gray area.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I mean there's birds that eat other birds, though all
the time.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I suppose Did I send you a picture of that hawk that
was parked in my backyardrecently.
Well, maybe Let me look.
Hold on, it was so, it was so.
I was like I was enamored.
It was sitting on the littleconcrete ledge in the backyard
and I wanted to go feed it.
And it was so cool, it satthere forever and Jeremy's like
don't feed it, they eat meat andshit, they do eat meat and shit
(12:02):
.
No, you didn't.
Oh well, I'll have to send itto you then.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
The only picture I have of a bird that you sent me
is a bird eating popcorn andputting on binoculars.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
That sounds like something I would send you.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Oh, that's because we were talking about the
cryptozoology museum.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Oh, yeah, okay, so we'll just have a little intro
on the golf here, and then let'sjump into what we're actually
talking about today.
Yes, we're not here to talkabout golf.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
No, this is not a golf podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I know I'm so sad that you don't like golf.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's kind of my big rebellion.
For those of you who don't know, my half-brother is a teaching
pro.
My dad lives by a golf course.
After he retired he worked atsaid golf course for many years.
My husband plays golf fourtimes a week probably.
I'm at a golf course a lot.
(13:00):
I grew up around golf a lot.
My big rebellion is that Idon't really play.
I would probably play if I wasbetter at it, but also I really
suck Me too.
Yeah, I suck worse than you,way worse than you, in fact oh
well, we'll probably never knowwell, I'll go out sometime just
(13:21):
so you can see, like, how bad itreally is.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It'll make you feel really good about yourself,
drive, just drive the cart andhave have drinks with me.
Yeah, absolutely, I'll be yourswing coach.
Okay, did I tell you that oncewhen we were golfing I was, I
wasn't, I don't hit ball.
Oh, yeah, the guy.
The guy was like I thought Iwas coach.
Yeah, some guy thought I wasjeremy's coach because I was
standing behind him telling himto keep his head down and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, sometimes to let you go out if you're not
playing.
You have to tell him you'relike a swing coach or something.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I didn't know that I've been a swing coach.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'm real good at it.
Okay, but we're not talkingabout golf.
This is not a golf podcast.
Nope, I'll never speak of itagain.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Speak of what Exactly ?
Nope, I'll never speak of itagain.
Speak of what?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Exactly Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
What we are here to talk about is our next trip,
which I am getting very excited.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Which we talked about a little bit.
We did release an episodealready announcing where we were
going.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yes, oh yes no-transcript.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
So we are also going to Kara.
You want to announce Salem?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yes, yes, we're going to Salem in October, which I
realize a lot of people in Salemhave said oh my God, it's crazy
.
It's going to be so crazy there, which great.
That's part of the fun.
We're here for the tourists,tourism Well, and town that
celebrates witches for a monthstraight.
Sign me up, please.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, I think it's going to be probably insane.
We'll probably need to get somedinner reservations places.
We almost didn't get a place tostay because everybody was
booking up so quickly.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, you're right, we should probably make some
reservations.
We'll get on that.
Also, we figured out going upone day to Acadia National Park
for some leaf peeping.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I'm actually not looking forward to that drive.
It's going to be so long.
I mean we don't have to do itif you don't want to do it.
I mean I do want to see a kid.
I feel like it would be kind ofa shame not to I feel, I feel
both of those things, but alsoit's I mean, we have time.
I think we're there for likeeight days or like well we're in
.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I think we're like four days.
I think we're well because wehave Seattle on either end.
Well, I guess just on the backend.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, so the way that we have to do it because
Christmas lives in Santa Rosaand I live closer to Sacramento
than she does is she's flyingout of Santa Rosa and I'm flying
out of Sacramento, but we'remeeting in Seattle because all
the flights kind of go, they cango through Seattle anyway.
So we're meeting up there andthen we're going to fly back
east together and then and watchmurder.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
She wrote episodes the whole time the entire time,
even the that are so bad.
Oh, there's oh and uh.
You may or may not have noticed, if you saw my instagram
stories, just this past weekendI attended for the second time a
solve along murder.
She wrote theater.
A Solve Along Murder she Wrotetheater.
I did see that it's so fun.
(16:42):
It's this Australian guy who'sanother total Murder.
She Wrote super fan and he doesa one man show like in drag,
kind of dressed as JB.
It's so great, he's so great.
He does it all like in the UK aton.
I think that's his full timegig is.
He just travels around the UKwhere apparently it's also very
(17:02):
popular, and he's been in SanFrancisco twice now.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
So what a strange job .
Like what do you do?
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I want to figure out a way to leave my life and go
join him and be his assistantand just cruise around and watch
him do the show.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I feel like it would get old doing the same thing
every night, though, don't youWell?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
he does a different episode every night, Kara.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh, I guess that would make a difference.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
You talk about who the guest stars are, what they
were in before.
Everyone like holds up a thingif someone does something that
they think is shady or suspish.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Uh-huh, oh yeah, because we're not supposed to
say sus anymore.
I've told my teenage son justtold me that's cringe when I say
sus, but we can still saycringe, yep, certain things are
still okay.
I said no cap the other day andhe was like I had to look at
him and he said no, that's fine.
I haven't heard that sus is notokay yet well, you're gonna
(18:03):
hear it if you say it aroundparker okay, I'll have to ask
ben and shane, my niece and I'mcurious.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, so random question.
Now you cut out for a second.
What'd you say?
Oh, I said so I just callrandom question is sus lame now.
Oh yeah, they'll be like Idon't know actually I mean,
aren't they in southerncalifornia?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
is there?
For a second, what'd you say?
Oh, I said so.
I just call random question.
Is sus lame now?
Oh yeah, they'll be like Idon't know.
Actually, I mean, aren't theyin Southern California Is there?
Maybe it's?
Yeah, they're.
They're both in Santa Barbara.
Maybe it's been lame for longerdown there than it has up here.
You know we're a little sloweron the trend.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Um is suspish okay.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Well, that's what made me think, say sus no Is
dodgy.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, because I usually use dodgy.
Dodgy is classic.
Yeah, the classics never go outof step.
Put the hat to dodgy.
So yeah, salem witchiness, ifanyone has hot tips on where to
eat.
What to do?
We're definitely going on anighttime haunted tour.
I would really like to get areading while we're there.
(19:07):
Um, we're staying right nextdoor to the witch museum.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, because you kind of did the, you did the
searching on where we were goingto stay in salem and kind of
chose where we were going tostay in Salem and kind of chose,
where we were going to stay.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yes, well, it was also a matter of what is even
still available as October, andI think we have can figure it
out, which I know is challenging, apparently.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
But you've also confirmed that we will not be
driving a giant trans or a giantlike sprinter van this time.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
So it should no, it should be no we will not be
driving a giant sprinter van.
We will not be driving a littletiny thing though, because I
don't like driving little tinythings, and if we do go to
acadia, I'm not trying to spendsix hours in a dumb little car.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, no, that'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I think I mean we should probably go to Acadia.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I mean, we kind of decided already that we were
going to spend one day and go dothat, right, and I've heard Bar
Harbor's up.
Well, that way we can.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Bar Harbor is the little town that's like next to
Acadia.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, I've heard a lot about.
I keep seeing that show up onmy TikTok as like one of the
cutest Bahaba Bahaba.
It's like one of the cutesttowns you have to see in Maine.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Okay well.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I mean Go see it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, we'll record in the car.
We'll talk about nothingnessfor three hours.
It'll be great.
I'm excited, I'm really excited.
I'm very excited.
I'm getting more excited.
How many you were the one thattold me that there is an entire
Cozy Murder book series.
Oh yeah, named ClambakeMysteries.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So the first one is called Clammed.
Up I think it might be.
Actually, yeah, it's calledClammed Up, it's Barbara Ross,
it's cute.
I think you will really enjoy.
Actually, yeah, it's calledClammed Up, it's Barbara Ross,
it's cute.
I think you will really enjoyit because oh, I've read the
first four.
Oh, you've read.
Oh, shut up.
Really, I'm still like a thirdof the way through the second
one, because it's just it's waymore you than it is me oh,
(21:13):
absolutely, but it's still noThursday murder club.
Let's be real nobody's gonna bethe like.
I challenge someone to writesomething better than the
Thursday Murder Club.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
They probably already have, we just don't know it.
But also, if someone knows ofsomething, send it our way.
It was.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I was.
I can't wait for the next oneto come out, but I did get
another book that takes place inMaine in like 1750s through the
1790s.
I know you hate historicalfiction, but it's also a little
bit of a murder mystery.
Okay, it's called the FrozenRiver.
It's about a midwife who, youknow, has her life out there in
(21:52):
the frozen tundra in the winterand chaos ensues.
I'm way more enthralled with itthan I have been with the
Clammed Up series.
It's not a clam dunk, I saidclammed up.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Oh, I thought you said clam dunk.
It's a main clam.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
It's a clam, dunk now .
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I shouldn't say I've read the first four, since it's
been a lot of audible also.
This trip is going to be a clamdunk audible also this trip is
going to be a clam dunk, okay,frozen river right, yeah, you'll
love it.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Starts with murder right away.
Oh, right out of the gate.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I like that gate murder.
I like the sound of that, okay,okay, um.
So I shouldn't start numberfive, I guess.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Oh, you do whatever you want, I know you love your
cozy?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh, I will, but there's also 12.
I'm like I could just, oh God,really, yeah, there's 12.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's a lot.
That's like Stephanie Plumseries, like one for the money,
two for yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, yeah, I read like all the way through 19 and
then I was like when you werepregnant, it started way through
19 and then I was like, whenyou were pregnant, it started
before I was pregnant.
But yeah, I was totally intothat when I was pregnant.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Um, I will say, the more of them I read, the more I
do enjoy the characters.
Obviously, the guys what's theguy that runs the restaurant?
Gus Gus?
Yeah, I love him.
There are some.
I can see some of thecharacters being like growing on
you.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, for sure, and I'm enjoying seeing how Chris
and Julia are navigating things.
Okay, no, spoilers.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I'm assuming they'll probably.
It doesn't seem like that Jamieguy is going to get the girl.
The policeman friend who triedto.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
I know who you're talking about.
I'm just trying to remainneutral.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Oh God, okay Well, maybe we shouldn't talk about it
then, because I do, I will keepreading.
Um, I just need to get boredenough, yeah which one.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
What's going on in the second one?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
the guy was found in the claminator.
Oh, that's right, and um, thekid that's sticking, and the kid
that the foot sticking out,yeah, the foot sticking out of
the barbecue.
Basically, cade, yeah, cade,and they, yeah, they suspect
Cade, but I mean it's probablynot Cade.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The fact that you get to say Claminator, yeah, it's
worth it.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think I've never said it out loud.
When I read that, I was allyeah, that's a great name, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
The Claminator.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Super funny, I love it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
We also have another trip coming up in two weeks,
three weeks, 18 days, so that'sgoing to be exciting.
Yep, yeah, we're going to theEastern Sierras.
I'm not going to say whereexactly, because I don't want it
to get too popular.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
That's fine, that's fair yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
But we'll just Mammoth-ish, huh, mammoth-ish,
mammoth-ish, mammoth-jacent.
Yeah, you don't have to be incharge of any dinners, but you
do have to help me with one ofthem.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That's fine.
I'll help you with whatever youwant, and if you want me to be
in charge of a dinner, I will.
I just hate cooking.
I know you hate it and I likeit.
If I never had to cook again inmy life I'd be so happy, and I
know you love it.
You'd be sad, I would bedevastated.
I was thinking of you earliertoday because I think that it
will shock you to know that Ijust had chimichurri for the
very first time.
What, really?
(25:21):
Yeah, really, and I lovecilantro, so I don't know what
happened.
Like somebody really droppedthe ball in my life that I
haven't had it until just now.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well, okay, but a lot of it is going to be at like,
like more Peruvian restaurants,like South south american
restaurants, and you guysprobably don't have a lot of
south.
I mean, you probably havemexican, but not like true south
america, like argentinian food,I don't know I just know I've
seen it on menus before, butI've always been like I don't
(25:53):
know.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
That's a weird name um, you can make it because I I
know cilantro can be reallypolarizing for some people.
I love cilantro same, butthere's the people that have
that gene where it tastes likedirt to them or something soap.
So I have also had friends makeit with parsley.
Um, all parsley, or parsley andbasil.
(26:17):
You can kind of make whatever.
I personally love a cilantrochimichurri.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
My girlfriend made it on the 4th of July and it was
for Jeremy, because they werewhat am I trying to say right
now?
They were smoking a whole bunchof meat and he still doesn't
eat meat.
I ate a rib, which wasdelicious because I'm starting
to eat a little bit more meat,but he still really doesn't want
to.
So she made these likeportabellos.
She baked these portabellos sothey wouldn't get contaminated
in the smoke with the meat.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Oh, that's so nice of her.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
She made these like chimichurri sass, but she forgot
about it, so it was in thefridge and so she gave it to us
and said you've got to take thishome, put it on anything.
So we started with it on ourscrambled eggs.
Oh my God, that was amazing.
Okay, never put it on scrambledeggs before.
And then I made beans and ricelast night and like chopped up a
whole bunch of tofu and wemixed that Like it was basically
(27:05):
beans and rice, like red beansand rice, but it was brown beans
and chimichurri.
Oh great, I had it cold forbreakfast and for lunch.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
It was so freaking good, I discovered something
that I think you will reallylike, but I don't want to tell
you about it.
I'm just going to show you whenwe go on our trip, which one?
The one in 18 days.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Okay, because I got you and me a present.

Oh God, it's the gift of the magi.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
What could it be that it can't happen on a plane?

Well, we shall see, shan't we.
Speaker 2 (28:26):

I don't, I'm not like crazy, crazy about.
I like them, but I'm not.

Uh, concerning, well, I do love, uh like mussels in white wine
and butter with crusty breadsounds good.
Steamed clams here for it, clamstrips, oh I don't think I've
(29:04):

It sounded like everything wewould want to try was on the
(29:35):
list.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
And we'll learn about Portland and its history.
And, oh, we're also going to aplace that I'm super excited
about Bunghole Liquors oh right,supposed to be haunted, and
it's called Bunghole Liquors.
I will be buying merch.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I would hope so.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
It's like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Yeah, I've told a couple peoplewho have requested, if they
have them, like can koozies?
Yeah, from the bunghole.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, gotta enjoy this trip and get lots of
souvenirs.
I don't think I don't seemyself spending a lot of time or
going back necessarily.
It's so far it's not like it'sEurope Cara.
It still feels like it's EuropeCara.
It still feels like it.
It sucks up a whole day oneither end for travel.
So does Hawaii Not really it'slike four hours to get to Hawaii
, or five maybe.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's five one way, six the other.
I only know that because myhusband is headed there next

Oh, I had some great mushrooms last night.
I did a mushroom.
I got a, went to the farmer'smarket, got a huge thing of a
bunch of mixed, super fancymushrooms, cooked them in butter
, a little bit of cream, sherry,some herbs, and then I actually
made not really a chimichurri,but kind of a chimichurri I like
(30:59):
chopped up a bunch of parsley,added some garlic, lemon, tiny
bit of champagne vinegar, and soI went sourdough toast that I
fried in the pan in the mushroombutter.
I fried in the pan in themushroom butter burrata, all the
(31:19):
sauteed mushrooms and then alittle sprinkle of the.
I'll show you a picture.
So good, oh, you took a pictureof it.
Yeah, to send to my husband tobe like tell me your husband's

That looks amazing, it wasamazing.
It was great.
Love brada.
Yeah, I can't go wrong withbrada.
Um, I think I'm gonna try dosome practice pizzas on the
pizza oven tonight oh, becausewe're doing pizza on this trip,
this next trip, aren't?
We have our portable pizza ovenand I want to get good at it,
(32:18):
like good at the crusts, and Ikind of want to practice when my
husband's not here, because Ican try methods that he might
balk at.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Do you guys disagree on cooking methodologies?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
No, I just want to get better than him, faster.
I see?
No, it's just my competitbetter than him faster?
I see no it's just mycompetitiveness that tracks.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah.
Is that why you don't golf?
You're too competitive.
You want to be good at it oryou don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm fine doing things that I'mbad at, but I want to get good
at making pizza.
I wanted to get good at makingpasta.
I feel like I'm good at makinghomemade pasta.
I want to get good at makingpizza.
I wanted to get good at makingpasta.
I feel like I'm good at makinghomemade pasta.
I want to get good at pizza,especially because we have a
little pizza oven.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I mean homemade pizza is amazing.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
It is.
Did I tell you when we weretaking it out of the box?
In the directions it says likein bold italicized font Make
sure you practice times beforeyou invite anyone over for a
pizza party, which is truebecause the first time we tried
it we almost got divorced.
(33:21):
It was terrible, but we'regetting ever better each time.
But it made me wonder, likewhat happened at that company,
that the attorneys were likeguys.
We got to just put it in theinstructions.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
We really need a disclaimer for this.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
We need a disclaimer to not invite your friends.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
It almost makes me wonder if somebody actually
tried to sue them because theirmarriage fell apart.
I wonder.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Or maybe they just got a ton of irate messages.
I invited all my friends overfor a pizza party and I look
like a loser.
Probably, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I'm so excited about my new pizza oven.
Everybody come over, let's havesome pizza Fail, yeah, yeah.
And then you have to blamesomebody.
You can't blame yourself, right?
So you have to blame the pizzaoven company.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Well, what do you do with all the hungry people you
have to order in pizza Pizza?
Yeah.
Well, what do you do with allthe hungry people you have to
order in pizza pizza?
Yeah, if you didn't have abackup, if you didn't allot for
failure, everybody just go homehungry.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Sorry, eat some cheese and crackers for dinner.
You're on your own.
Sorry, I guess you won't be inaccepting any of my invites
anymore there's a recipe forchimichurri.
You can put it on anythingthat's a good way to get out of
having to host stuff.
Just serve everyone.
One terrible meal.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Give everyone food poisoning once.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Nobody asks me to bring anything to the potlucks
anymore.
So weird.
Why am I always in charge ofbeverages?
Yeah, you're so good at it,kara.
Yeah, that actually soundsgreat.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, I would rather be in charge of the food than
the beverages.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I did bring an appetizer to the 4th of July and
she had a bunch of stuff theretoo.
She had these like watermelonskewers with feta on them and
stuff oh my God, it was so goodand mint which I had never had
before, but they were good.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You've never had watermelon, feta and mint.
Nope, Good fucking Christ goodfucking christ.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Hey, look, it's a big , wide world.
There's lots of stuff to eat.
Okay, I'm working on eatingmore of it.
Okay, that's great that's greatthere.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
There.
This is very true.
There it is a big, wide worldwith lots of things to eat.
I venture to say that up untilrecently you probably didn't eat
a lot of those different things, like when Parker was growing
up.
I bet you ate a lot of the samestuff that's.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
a big part of it is that if I'm making, if I have to
cook for my family and I've gota five-year-old or a
10-year-old.
He was a picky eater when hewas little and Jeremy's a picky
eater too, so I'm not going toscrew around.
Nobody in my family is eatingfeta on watermelon.
I mean they might now try it um,I don't know if he did, he
probably would try it now and hewould probably like it, but he
didn't.
(35:59):
I don't think he liked, likeI'm trying to remember.
It's only a recent developmentthat he likes, like goat cheese
and salads and things like that.
Okay, so we're getting more.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I'm gonna.
I'm gonna get him with the tunaone of these days.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I think you will, because he really does.
He's starting to eat a littlebit more dairy.
I've noticed like not not thathe was ever weird about dairy,
but like he didn't like likesour cream was was too far what
do you put on a goddamn bigpotato?
butter and cheese okay, andvegan chili okay.
(36:33):
But I made these little um.
I couldn't find the longerskewers at the grocery store, so
I got toothpicks and I madelittle caprese, like one bite
caprese skewers, with just thethree, you know, the tomato, the
cheese and the basil.
And then I put um reducedbalsamic all over it and it was
(36:54):
it was glaze.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah, it's delicious.
Um, yeah, you could just tellpeople I meant to do that.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
They're single serving well, it worked out
better anyway, because then youdidn't have to like risk
skewering yourself in the mouthor using your hands to slide it
up the skewer or no.
You just do this method.
Oh yeah, that's not how I'mabout it.
That seems messy.
It probably is messy, itprobably is.
I've been seeing these corn onthe cob, like these de-corners,
(37:20):
if that makes sense Like it'sthis, like little shovel that
you use and you slide it downthe corn cob and it takes the
corn off the cob.
Have you seen those?
I wonder if they work.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
You know what else works.
It's this thing, perhaps you'veheard of it.
It's called a kn.
You've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
It's called a knife, uh yeah, but it's not shaped the
right way.
This thing is shaped like ashovel.
It's like kind of round likethe corn.
Have you tried it?
No, I'm asking if you've seenit.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I might, I might buy one.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I love corn, but I love gadgets.
I know you do, you.
You wait, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna try one, and thenyou're going to be singing its
praises.
I can't wait.
Frickin' knife what am I?
I also know you have niceknives.
I do have nice knives, thanksto you, wow.
And you know what's wonderfulis that my family forgets that
(38:10):
they're here.
I'm the only one who uses them,because we mounted the magnetic
.
We mounted the magnetic stripup under the counter, so you
can't see them, unless you knowthey're there out of sight, out
of mind handy.
If someone ever broke in andtried to attack me, I'd be like
aha, grab my knife.
They wouldn't even see itcoming.
Well, you just keep a sock onyour bat.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
A sock on my bat.
Yeah, then, when you try to hitthe intruder with the bat, if
they grab the bat, the sockpulls right off and you go.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
That's a second time, motherfucker?
I have heard that, yeah, andyou definitely would go in for a
second one.
And then you got to keep thebig zip ties on hand so you can
secure the perp while you call911.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Right, or picture me hold still, sir, as I put
together seven tiny zip ties.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah, that was funny when you said that, because I'm
picturing these big assindustrial ones that Jeremy has
in the garage that you couldeasily, like the kind of cops
carry around.
I do have gorilla tape thatwould probably work too.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
You'd have to do it behind their back, though,
because if it was in the frontthey could.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Could probably just I'd just hog, tie them like all
four of them, just right, orfour of them gorilla tape around
their head.
Yeah, I'd, I'd gorilla tapetheir head to the ground, to my
hardwood floors.
I'd lay them out like likejesus on the cross and I'd tape
them to my floor.
They're not going goinganywhere.
(39:34):
The cops show up.
They're like what the hellhappened here?
Speaker 1 (39:38):
The perp is like please take me, please get me
out of here.
He's like I'd like to presscharges.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, this lady is kookaroo Take me far away,
please.
Yeah, yeah, but anyway.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
I digress yeah, what do you got going on this weekend
?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
I'm supposed to go paddle boarding with a couple of
girlfriends on Saturday.
Fun, and I might try toconvince Jeremy to golf again on
Sunday, but we'll see howexcited he is about that.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Are you bringing a paddleboard?
Speaker 2 (40:08):
to our camping trip.
I can I have two of them.
Should I bring both?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, Okay, my sister and brother-in-law will
probably bring theirs.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Okay, we're bringing the van, so I have plenty of
room to bring crap.
Okay, great, yeah, what are youdoing this?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
weekend.
Well, I was supposed to bevending at the Los Altos Art and
Wine Festival, but I was ontheir waiting list and I have
not heard from them, so I wouldassume.
But I was on their waiting listand I have not heard from them,
so I would assume that I am notvending, although I told them.
(40:43):
You know, if you let me know byThursday, I could probably pull
it together and the lady'ssuper nice, she's like we really
would like to have you.
She might say that to everyone.
We'll see.
So yeah, well, goddamn waitlists.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
I mean, you very rarely have a weekend that's not
booked out.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
It's true it's true, it wouldn't be terrible to hang
out, nice to have a, a littlebreak.
Yeah, um, okay.
Well, I love you.
I love you too, and I guess welove you too, dear listeners.
We love you too, and I guess welove you too, dear listeners,
we love you too, and we willprobably be here again soon,
(41:22):
sometime, sure will, sure will.
Bye.
