Sweet, we know you've lost track of what episode

So what are we doing this week though?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
This week we're having a call in show.
People from our Patreon areable to call in and ask us

Yeah, so we don't.
Nobody's submitted a thing yet.
I know we got a couple ofpeople in the audience.
Whenever you guys want, you canhit the.
There's a little button at thebottom on the PC at least that
asks if you want to call in.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I'm not aware of any of this, but anyway, I guess
while we wait for that, weshould just maybe it was just
recap this week things thatannoyed us this way, things that
annoyed us.
You know, I saw a video fromCourtney.
Oh, another one.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yay.
Finally on New Year's sheposted a video doubling down on
being a food snob, basically tosaying that she does the only
thing she does I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
that's her whole persona.
What else is?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
there, Right?
I mean she's walking aroundgrocery stores with a $3,000
handbag.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh, it's so good.
Stupid, poor peasants having tofind cheap food.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
But she was.
She was complaining that thereal enemy is the companies
behind these cheap foods.
Yeah, it's always the companyshouldn't be giving them our
money.
We should give our money tothese other people that you know
she endorses and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Right, that's always kind of my the thing that I have
the most trouble with and it'sreally annoying.
It's just like they'll takelike a piece that is true.
It's kind of like the AndrewTate thing, you know where
they'll say like a piece.
That is like correct, likethese companies do all these
terrible things.
It's like, yeah for sure, likegreed sucks, it's all about
money.
People at the top will doanything to make more money.
(03:02):
So you know like, yeah, theykind of say and then they'll,
but then they'll take thatmassive jump and then be like so
we can't give, we can't givethem any money and you should
only do what I say.
And it's like whoa, that was abig fucking jump you made
recently.
What the fuck are you talkingabout?
Yeah, yeah, it kind of sucksthat they're doing these things,
(03:22):
but like it's all people have.
So like, how about you?
Don't make them feel shittyabout it?
What about that?
Is that an option?
No, it's not an option.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Okay, bad enough that people have trouble affording
food.
We're just going to dump onthem while they're trying to
scrape by.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, and it's always the cheap things.
Like, oh, I get mad, I gotupset with, I kept getting
tagged in like Gary Brekhovity.
It was like three things youneed to avoid, and I just like
it's always the cheapest thing,it's never always like tap water
and I'm like, oh yeah, thething that people can easily
access, almost the most crucialthing to their existence, like
(04:04):
air than water.
Like those are the two thingsin that order, like the second
most important thing, that'sfree, that's what you need to
get rid of.
It's like man get fucked.
Like really, that's, oh it's.
And the next one, you know it'salways like vegetable oils,
like, oh, it's all.
Like the cheap cooking oil,cool, like all right, just, I
guess we'll all buy fake avocadooil because apparently it's not
(04:24):
real either, and so you knowyou might have to, and expensive
bottled mountain spring water.
Oh, hydrogenated water, or maybeget my stick that?
What if you?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
put his stick Motherwater.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, what if you put his like anilema stick in tap
water?
Does that work, or is that?
Is it already the tap water.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Let's get Gary Brekhovity on here and ask him.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, he's like ooh, I want to make money off that
stick, but I also want to keepto my principles of not telling
people to drink tap water, solike I feel like he'd be torn,
you know.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
How much?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
how much is the money I want to make important to me?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's always the thing, isn't it?
The instant there's some moneyinvolved, they'll bend over
backwards, go back on their word, whatever.
Yeah, obviously really good atthat.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I mean he'll just say whatever people fucking pay him
to say, don't matter, yeah, andthen like and that's the thing
with these people is just likethey just throw so much shit out
there.
Eventually one video pops offand they'll just like put scary
music behind it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh man, isn't the scary music great, you know just
that, like ominous music, it'salways the same three songs.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
There's like yeah, two or three, and it's always
with those, it's just like.
I mean, I guess it works.
I can't, what am I going to say?
What am I saying?
It fucking works.
So you know, just keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I guess I was funny enough.
I was editing the video withAndy our episode seven, I
believe it was, and you know, inthat we distinctly talked about
how bringing up emotions,especially emotions of fear,
great selling things.
And so you get that musicthat's like evil ominous music,
(06:01):
yeah, ominous, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It just kind of already sets the mood for like,
ooh, what am I going to learn?
That someone's trying to killme with almond milk.
And that was the one that waslike Dave Asprey.
Like he's like, oh, it's thevideo you covered.
I was like I don't even know ifI want to cover this.
Or it's like, oh, they take acouple almonds and turn it on.
Okay, so then you know, just,oh, it's got all these different
(06:24):
compounds.
Like, do you see, recently,james Smith, like he did a video
in the grocery store with, likeyou know, pretending and I'm
like pretending to be one ofthese fear mongers, I'm like
this is not far off.
This is pretty much what theyexactly what they do.
So I'm planning on trying tomaybe do something with that.
I don't know.
Just play another clip that'ssimilar to what he said and be
(06:46):
like yeah, no, that's prettymuch what they say.
Yeah, that's pretty much younailed it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We should just splice together like like everybody's
got the.
There's a lot of people thathave those making fun of the
shirtless influencer in thestore.
We should just get like a bunchof them and splice each person
together into a long string.
Yeah, one person do each onething, any interval thing.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm saying you could like interlude that with like
clips for real clips of peoplebeing serious, and it's just
like this.
You know, this isn't anycrazier.
This is exactly what they say.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, oh, awkward pause while we're waiting for
somebody to call it.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Maybe All right, no call ins this week.
Forget it.
People don't want to do it.
We're just going to rant aboutshit that pisses us off,
apparently, things we've seenBecause I got.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I got plenty of.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Chris here in chat.
He can't call in because he'son his phone, but he just wanted
to say that I just recentlyfound you guys and I have been
loving the content since I'm afirefighter and hopefully soon.
Are you Chris that wrote in?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Probably, if he's calling in here, he's probably
willing to call in.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, the firefighter , paramedic thing, Like oh, I
remember that, I remember that.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So yeah, this is Chris that wrote in on one of
our episodes before.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Firefighter, that's I mean a shout out.
Like I've talked to people whoare firefighters.
It seems like they're sitting,oh what are their shifts are
like, you know, 800 hours longand they're like the same place
and then just waiting and I,yeah, that's, I mean it's a lot.
And though I've talked to himand the drills they go through
to stay in shape.
(08:28):
There's like a guy that goes tomy gym.
He works in the firehouse andit's funny because he's going to
get into powerlifting so he'sgaining all this weight, but now
he's having trouble doing likethe, the basically obstacle
courses that they do to stay inshape because he's gaining all
this weight for powerlifting.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Right, yeah, I mean that's awesome.
But he would love to know ifthe moderation can be
implemented with his lifestyle,especially since life is
expensive, which, yeah, it isLife is, especially if you're in
Canada right now.
But that's actually that'spretty great, because we just
(09:01):
the other day, we were talkingabout how we wanted to go back
to our roots and talk about how,you know, eating healthy on the
road, on the job, when it'sharder to to achieve these
things.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, that's the deal I'm kind of curious with like
fire station, do they?
I'm assuming they have somesort of kitchen in there.
Are you able to like actuallycook anything in there?
Do you just have to bringthings in?
Because I'm assuming a lot offire stations they probably just
order food in and whatnot.
Right, it's gotta.
It's gotta be something likethat.
But if you can, perhapssomething like it's it's
firehouse, like chili, like theydo chili cookoffs for like
(09:34):
firehouses, right.
So they gotta have some way tolike cook the things.
I'm assuming.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
We go to the store for dinner and breakfast usually
.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, that's, that's plenty.
I mean it's you can figure outsomething for like lunch.
That's not bad at all yeah thelike.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I guess the question is what does the store have?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
As long as you have like a basic grocery store, you
just do this.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Those rotisserie chickens are great.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I mean those things are great, yeah, yeah.
No, definitely what I would dois like try and batch cook
something, because I'm sure at afire station you got a fridge
right, like you got to have afridge.
If you can batch cook somethinglike a chili or you know, your
your chicken so you can get theCostco, you know any rotisserie
chicken is great, but I meanreally like there's.
(10:20):
I mean this is like there's somany recipes out there Like I'm
telling you, just go on and justbe like recipes with whatever.
I'm sure you can find plenty ofstuff.
I'm gonna do a.
See you know what like liveaction, I'm gonna do this shit
right now there we go.
I'm going to go online andfigure out like what's the you
know meal prep in for a firestation?
I guarantee you that's evenlike I can think someone's
(10:43):
written about.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Watch this.
He did say he thinks it's hardsince so many guys have
different personalities anddiets.
So are you guys like all, allordering the same stuff?
Or like, well, I guess grouporders, or try.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
We're trying to, like you know there's a whole book,
someone's written like a PDF,healthy firehouse recipes.
Holy shit, that's awesome, I'mtelling you.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I guess.
I guess there should be nosurprise there's a book for
everything these days.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
A Pinterest head there's a whole like fire
station meals, wave Osran,cheros, chicken and dumpling
recipes.
I mean, that's pretty simple.
Ooh, a lot of this looks reallygood.
Damn.
Now I'm starting to get hungry.
I'm just looking at all thisstuff.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, I just like, what, like what appliances and
stuff do you actually have atthe fire station?
Do you have access to anything?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I'm sure these got the basic stuff right.
Oh, meatballs, oh, do you likemeatball pasta?
So do I have veggie orsomething?
That would be awesome.
It seems like a lot of WaveOsran Cheros.
Do firehouses eat a lot of WaveOsran Cheros?
Because that's what I'mlearning from this.
Oh, jumbalaya, bro, you makesome Jumbalaya?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I'm intrigued and sometimes Instant Pot, like on
that note with the sometimesInstant Pot.
Like one of you run out to athrift store and grab a crock
pot, boom, that's like you canjust throw stuff in there.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Don't Instant Pot work as a crock pot, can't you?
It's just like slow cook onthem.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Sometimes, Hmm.
So I'm saying you know like gograb a cheap crock pot so that
you always have it and it's justsitting there as part you know
belongs to the firehouse, andthen look up Zach Cohen's
recipes, because he's got somany crock pot.
That's yes.
Zach does have a lot of crockpot recipes.
He loves that thing.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What is it?
Buffalo chicken meal prep withpeanut butter on top, like in
the Instant Pot.
That's awesome Greek chickenand rice.
I'm telling you guys, listen,I'm telling you, just go online
and look like Instant Potrecipes there's so many is in
the looks, so, so simple.
Like the Instant Pot, like guys, instant Pot's, you can just
like saute in them already, likethey hit, just like get warm,
(12:52):
and then you saute your likeonions and garlic and whatever
it is, and then you just throweverything in there and cook it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, I just realized .
One possible problem I'mguessing you might have is just
the fact that there's, you know,instant Pot, your cook, it's
big enough to cook for like afamily of four, a family of five
.
Right, there's probably morepeople at the firehouse than
that.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Which is again, go to the thrift store and like, find
two crock pots so you can justthrow, load them up and then
with like, a beef meal, load onewith a chicken meal.
It lets you guys pick.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Oh, one pan meals, bro.
One pan meals are the best.
You get some like you get somechicken or protein or whatever.
You get your vegetables youjust mix all the other potatoes,
you know, throw some potatoesin there.
So you guys like a complexstarch, like that's awesome,
throw it all in the oven.
Olive oil and seasoning, boom.
You know, you can use yourInstant Pot to make rice.
Have that on the side, bam.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Or again, if you see a rice cooker while you're
thrifting, pick that up.
Those things are perfect forgetting an easy meal going.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I love thrift stores.
I'll tell you the food theyhave there those usually pass
the best by date and I don'trecommend it often.
I bought it.
It does not work out all thetime.
Sometimes it has.
I have found good things, butit's very hit or miss.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Very hit or miss.
Hit up a thrift store, Take awander down their kitchen
appliance aisle, grab a coupleof crock pots.
If there's a rice cooker, grabit.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Honeyball Sonic chicken and forget With sweet
potatoes, honeyball Sonic withsweet potatoes.
I might have to.
I might actually have to makethis.
And I see now I'm looking, allthese recipes, the kinds of
recipes everywhere.
Just go online and look at them.
It's so simple, you have theinstrument at your fingertips.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Because you know Zach's a good friend, he's got a
great he's got awesome recipes.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
There's so many people making awesome recipes.
I go over recipes all the timebecause there's just so many
people like what about this?
What about that?
I'm like you should make it.
Why are you telling me to makeit?
I'm going to make it.
I'm going to tell you if it'sgood or not, but you should also
make it, Come on.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So he says thanks, this is good information.
He loves it.
Keep it simple.
But you know what?
From there, let's move fromthere to people with jobs that
they're more mobile, liketruckers and stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, like on the road, that's always kind of like
the tricky one, right.
So like my kind of go to what Ilove is obviously like fruit in
all forms, so you know you gotyour regular fruit.
It'll last like a while, youknow, bringing with apples,
bananas, whatever it is.
But like if you're on the roadfor like a long time, just get
dried fruit, like it's awesome.
Like I absolutely love driedfruit Dried mango is probably my
(15:29):
favorite but like you know, Idon't have dried mango.
Dried mango is so good.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I get it from Costco on the Facebook the dried
bananas banana chips crunch.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Again, I'm at dollar stores, those actually go to
dollar store get some bananachips Actually not bad, but yeah
, like I always get like theCostco, big Costco bag of dried
mango is really good.
You could bring that on theroad, you could bring.
I love having, like they havethem at the store, the tuna
pouches you know, like alldifferent seasonings and stuff
like that for once.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
So you get some like Like a can of tuna, can of
sardines, can of whatever.
See my fish.
They're nice and small.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Like.
But like the sardines and stuff, I've always been a little iffy
on those.
Like they got to be in somereal good like mustard or hot
sauce or something, because theydon't taste that great.
And they got bones in them,often like crunch crunch.
I'm not a big fan of that RightCrunching on bones.
I don't even care if they'relittle, tiny bones.
No, thank you.
I get the tuna pouches great.
(16:30):
Walmart has their own versionslike a dollar, like 90 cents,
something like that.
They got like ranch and buffaloand sesame like ginger.
That's probably my favorite.
They got a whole bunch of them.
Grab those, throw them in yourtruck, bring them with you.
Yeah, if you want somethinglower calorie.
Pickles oh, pickles are great Ilove, though, like you know,
(16:51):
again, they always have likedifferent flavored ones and then
even at like truck stops Inoticed I'll have like the whole
pickle.
Have you ever seen that Likeit's just one giant pickle in a
bag?
I'm like that is a weird andit's always overpriced too,
Cause I'm like it's like adollar or two for like a single
pickle.
I'm like this is kind ofridiculous.
You're gouging here, but it iskind of cool.
I like that.
It's like a strong garlicflavor or whatever it is.
(17:11):
So it's pretty neat.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That is.
One of the problems is thattruck stops, gas stations, they
always are gouging.
They're always going to beexpensive, right yeah, I mean
like where else are you going togo?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So like it's just you know, like you kind of just
have to deal with it.
There's really not much you cando.
I do like they usually havelike hard boiled eggs.
If I'm at a truck stop and theyhave like a hard boiled egg
like usually have like two orthree in like a little container
, it's usually not thatexpensive, I feel like it's
usually like a dollar or two fora few of them.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
How long do hard boiled eggs last outside of a
fridge?
That's a good question Offhand.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Because if they yeah, you look that up because if
that's, if they last you know adecent amount of time out of the
fridge, that's another optionthe throwing a bag, throwing a
truck.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Okay, well it's.
It's seven days in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Seven days in the fridge.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Two hours.
That says, according to the USDepartment of Agriculture, a
couple hours.
So you know if you're on theroad and you grab them.
You just got to eat them.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, though, if you do have room, to just bring a
small cooler with an ice pack.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, you could do that too, but you know, you stop
if you're just like looking forsomething that you can just eat
there, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh, I love the little like.
Oh, they always got like thehummer, they got like the hummus
cups.
You know what I'm talking about.
They got this little like theSaba and they got little
pretzels.
Damn, that's good.
I always get those.
I like those yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Um you know of course , always have, like you know, a
good thermos of water orsomething, especially if you're,
if you're having these driedfruits, it's good to make sure
you're staying hydrated andthat's why you get whatever diet
soda they have.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
It's so I get listen if you're in.
America they've got all theoptions for diet soda and you
get to make your favorite.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But I do recommend um , like if you have room in the
truck, if you have room in thevehicle, whatever, go to the
dollar store on your day off.
Just pick up a flat of whateveryou want at the dollar store
because that's going to be cheap.
Don't wait until you're at thegas station where it's three
times the price.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Like a big, like two liter or something like that,
like one of those, Well, eventhe cans even cans are way
cheaper at a dollar store than agas station.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I can't do that store in a while.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I got to go.
I want to do that for a video.
I'm about to go to the dollarstore and find like my best
finds at the dollar store.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Cause I'm telling you like I usually get my energy,
drinks and stuff, I'll go to thedollar store because it's even
cheaper than Walmart by like adollar.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
You know what I like there.
They got like all the differentselection of nuts Like I love.
They like cashews, peanuts.
They got blends selection withlike walnuts and all sorts of
different things.
Yeah, if you're, that's alwaysa good option.
I'm telling you you got like atruck stop or dollar store,
whatever like that.
Just get whatever, whatevernuts you like.
It doesn't matter which ones.
People always like which ones,don't matter.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Okay, I'm a simpleton , I like that, that's another
great thing to throw in a truckor something is nuts yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Any nuts, any seeds, sunflower seeds you're on the
road and just like sitting therebored, just throw some
sunflower seeds in there.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I always have trouble like eating a whole bunch of
nuts.
Pumpkin seeds.
If you like pumpkin seeds, Ilike pumpkin seeds Pumpkin seeds
.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
How do people eat all like that?
How do people throw a handfulof fucking sunflower seeds in
their mouth and eat a wholebunch of them?
I don't understand this.
It's like they just go and theyjust spit out all the seeds.
I'm like I got to do like oneor two at a time.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I can't just be like you know somebody is a fisherman
when they do that.
That's what you're doing whenyou're fishing.
You got your rod and water.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I think they're spitting out like a handful.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
You grab a handful, you throw them in your mouth and
you're just like right and Iguess you just do one, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So they are just doing one at a time, it's not
like they're all just likecrunching, and then spit yeah,
yeah, you kind of like pocket it.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
you know the squirrel pocket in the side of your
mouth and you just pull one in,you crunch, spit it out, move on
to the next one.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, get like just like a cup if you're on the road
or something, and just likespit them out.
That's yeah.
Sunflower seeds Awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But, like pumpkin seeds are great for magnesium.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It's like the best source of magnesium, like
pumpkin seeds, I think, like aserving gives you like 30 or 40%
or something like in your day.
Yeah, like it's not that many.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And one thing people are scared of nuts because they
always have like a very high,they're very calorically dense
and stuff, but you do not absorball those calories.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's true.
You also don't absorb likealmonds.
It's like 30% of the caloriesyou don't absorb and that's one
that you turn it into like nutbutters and stuff like that, so
like you can absorb morecalories because it's just all
ground up.
But yeah, and also they've gotlike a protein, some protein,
they got some fiber, they gotsome healthy fats.
It's really not that bad.
Like you know, people give shitto trail mix too and like I
(21:44):
totally get that.
It's really.
I feel like trail mix is likewhen you start getting the
chocolates and they like theM&Ms, and then you got like
dried fruit and then you've gotlike nuts and stuff I can eat
quite a bit of like trail mix onthe road when it's got like
M&Ms in it.
It's so good.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And you know another good one.
This goes back to when Dr Terrywas on.
We were talking about howchewing stuff keeps you more
awake and alert while you'redriving, and he said he likes to
eat carrots on the road.
And I've actually been doingthat since he told us about it
and it is awesome.
You just have a bag of carrotsthere and you're just munching
away and it's great.
(22:19):
You're getting your veggies inwhile you're driving, All right.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
So we're going to just steal from other people's
content here, because that'spretty much what I do anyway.
I looked it up and I'm justlooking at like healthy road
trip snacks and literally in thepicture, first one hard boiled
legs.
Look at us Like we're fuckingkilling it over here.
This is the best podcast ever.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yes it is.
Why aren't we number one in theUS yet?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
And veggies.
It says veggies First, one saysbaby carrots, boom, look at us.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Celery sticks, obviously snap peas.
Oh, I like snap peas.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh, I love peas.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
You know like you get something.
You know like something to dipit in.
You get some hummus or you knowwhatever.
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Peas are my favorite fruit.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You need to get.
You need to get the littlethings of applesauce right, and
then you just like the kids,like the moths or whatever, like
you know.
So you know I'm a 32 year oldkid.
All right, I can drink thosethings on the road.
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
On that note.
Yogurt, those little cups ofyogurt.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
That's also on this list.
I see that.
But you know you definitelyneed a little cooler and stuff
with that, you know so like thisis the good thing about like
those applesauce pouches orwhatever cups.
You just throw a whole bunch inyour car or whatever and you're
good to go.
Oh string cheese, string cheese.
You got a little cooler.
I love those like little babybell and like string cheese.
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, cooler comes in handy.
You get one of those littleones that's basically a lunch
kit.
Oh, and this goes.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, this goes for anybody who's going to work too,
because I always get asked that, like, what do I bring at work?
All the everything that we justsaid, bring that to work.
You got a little fridge orsomething like that.
Put it in there some fruit,some cheese, some eggs, like.
Because that's the thing.
When I'm at work, like you know, do I want to have like this
huge meal.
I don't know.
I kind of just snack, like Idon't know.
I don't know what to do aboutwith that.
So if I have these like kind ofmore nutritious snacks, the
(24:08):
gogurt squeezes, the gogurtsqueezes, bro, listen, I froze
those.
Not that long ago, I've nevertried them frozen before.
People are like what the fuck'swrong?
Do you never tried them frozenbefore?
I'm like, listen, I never gotthem frozen before.
I don't know what you want fromme.
Okay, I tried them frozen.
They're pretty good.
It is kind of like a fro-yo,you know.
I mean it is fro-yo, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
The snacking at the desk.
That's a big thing From drivingon the road.
Now we're in the office.
A lot of people have troublewith the snacking at the desk
and they'll hide like candy intheir desk or something yeah At
the desk and just place that Inyour car With all these options
that we've been talking about,or even like I actually in my
drawer right here I keep acouple packs of gum.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Gum yeah, exactly as long as it doesn't have any
sugar in it, because that'llkill you.
But other than the sugar freeand this, don't get xylitol
either, because that'll killyour dog.
Yeah, xylitol is apparentlyextremely deadly to dogs.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yes, it is so anybody out there.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Don't give your dog xylitol.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
That's why you gotta be careful with peanut butter.
The peanut butter sweetens withxylitol.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I've heard people say that I've never yet to see a
peanut butter that has xylitolin it, though I've looked at
different peanut butter.
I've never had to look I don'thave a dog, I have a cat and
I've never looked, but I'velooked at peanut butter.
Someone out there, if you haveseen a peanut butter, xylitol in
it, send it in to us, because Ihave yet to see that show.
Okay.
So yogurt, hard boiled eggs,obviously.
Yeah, deli meats, you can bringthat.
(25:34):
If you have something, bring towork, throw it in the fridge or
whatever.
That's obviously great.
Sandwiches like the classic,bring to work because it is so
simple.
Sandwiches don't give enoughcredit.
All right, that's all I'msaying.
They don't.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Sandwiches are awesome and I love bread.
I love a good crusty bread,especially those everything
breads with seeds and stuff, ohyeah, and sourdough too, man,
I'm a sucker for sourdoughChabada buns are like one of my
favorites Chabada yeah, chabada,chabada, chabada.
Chabada, chabada, chabada,focaccia.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Focaccia is a bread, I think.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
It's a something that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I'm pretty sure Focaccia is a bread we're going
with.
It's a bread and it's alsopretty good, because I worked at
a restaurant at a Focacciabread that made with sandwich
and it's really good.
Sandwiches, don't give enoughcredit.
Make more sandwiches,absolutely yeah.
Ooh, grapes, I love me somegrapes.
I like just throwing them in alittle powich or something like
that.
People always say to freezegrapes.
I've done that.
I'm underwhelmed.
(26:32):
How do I say this?
I don't hate them, but it'sjust like oh, they're just like
gummy bears, fuck you.
They're just like gummies.
They're not like gummy bears.
I mean, they're fine.
Have you had frozen grapes?
What's to take on frozen grapes?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I have not.
I've not had frozen grapes.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Next episode we're going to ask how frozen grapes
are to rub, because he's goingto have to go try it, because I
need somebody else on my side tobe like.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
eh, Okay, making a note of that in the podcast book
here.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Freeze, grapes Freeze .
And it's upload freeze grapes.
Those are the things on my list.
Oh, that's the best bread.
What's that like healthy?
Okay, I think they just call itthat like oat nut bread or
whatever.
Okay, in the States there's onecalled like oat nut bread.
(27:17):
It's like 500 calories perslice.
It's insane.
Like the calories areastronomical and I think it's
like 120 per slice, but it's sogood Like, if I'm like at a
stage where I'm trying to maybeput on a little weight, I always
get that the oat nut bread.
It's just, it's like crack.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Although like is it like a whole nuts that are in it
.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So they have like little seeds or whatever, like
they got, like some type ofseeds or whatever.
So there is some crunch to it.
It does have texture and I'm asucker for texture.
I need texture.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That's why, yeah, this is why we're crunchy peanut
butter.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Listen you, fuck, listen you numphies out there.
I said in a video that I was acrunchy peanut butter boy and
you guys were all freaking outlike, oh no, I like smooth.
What do you mean?
Unfollow, fuck you unfollow.
Crunchy peanut butter is thebest peanut butter.
Why do you not want moretexture?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's why I like the crusty breads.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Exactly, yeah, oh, I want just like a soft bread,
like I get it.
I guess if you're doing like apeanut butter sandwich, you want
that white bread or whateverlike that you had as a kid.
Like nostalgia, I understandthat, but, like for the most
part, I want some God damn bread.
Damn texture.
I'm an adult, yeah absolutelyI'm a grown.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I am 100% with.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Liam, on this one, I need some texture.
Speaking of texture, oh, thosekind bars.
I like the kind bars.
Now, aldi, if you haven't Aldi,I'm telling you they have their
own version.
That's like so much cheaper,it's like half the price, and
they're really good.
So they're just like fruit andnuts and like dark chocolate,
like that's all.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah, so is it kind that has a blueberry one.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
They probably have one.
They got all sorts of stuff.
They got many.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I don't remember offhand, but I I want to say it
was kind and they had ablueberry one and I thought that
was delicious.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Hmm, yeah, I don't think I've had.
I mean, I don't know sure if Ihad that.
But like they got Burp, theygot all sorts of stuff.
I say, gear up some kind barsor fair Aldi, get the Aldi
version.
Oh, pretty much always, get theAldi version.
I'm very rarely underwhelmed bytheir protein bar selections
kind of ass.
I'm not gonna lie.
What's going on Aldi and yourketo bars?
They're like 500 calories.
What are you doing?
But oh, you know what's.
(29:22):
You know that's actually not abad idea.
Like, get a little baggy rightand get yourself some like
Cheerios or something like evenlike honeynut Cheerios and
because, like that, they're madeof oats, you know.
So at least you're kind ofgetting your oats there.
Because, like, sitting thereeating raw oats, what am I?
A horse like?
I'm not really gonna do that.
So, like, get some Cheerios andthen get some fruit.
(29:42):
You know you can get some driedfruit or like some blueberries
or something like that and justhave that along with some cereal
, like like a fuckingthree-year-old wood.
But I'll still do it again.
I'm a grown fucking baby, iswhat I am.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, that, that describes Liam in a nutshell.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I mean.
No, this is me in a nutshell.
Help, I'm in a nutshell.
I was hoping you would go there.
I fucking love Austin powers.
That's all three of them aregood, the third one not quite as
good as the first two, but,like you know, it's rare for a
movies, for movies, just to keepgoing and be that good, like
John Wick I watched on likerecently.
(30:19):
All of them were good.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Well, like that, and even if, like, your place of
work has a microwave, then youcan always do the, the meal prep
right.
Get some chicken and rice, goand throw it in a microwave
container and no, prep is alwaysthe way to go, like in.
Option on the road even is some.
Some places have access to amicrowave.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
That'd be interesting .
I mean, you have to keep thosecold, especially with like rice
and stuff like that.
It is kind of tricky.
What I would, hmm.
What if you got like those ricepouches, you know, like the
individual rice?
Yeah, those last bring thatwith you on the road and then,
if you have a place to heat itup Sometimes some places will
have a microwave.
That's a little tricky, hmm.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, I'll honestly hit up subway.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I just there's a sandwich I'm gonna get, I'm
gonna get I'm gonna get tuna andI'm gonna get all the veggies
and then like Light mayo I'llusually like it that and then
that's my meal personally, atsubway I get chicken with the,
the marinara sauce, the pizzasauce, and Then I load that up
(31:27):
with lettuce, spinach, a littlebit of onion and Salt and pepper
.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I have to get all the veggies I have to.
I can't get all the veggies up.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Okay, I can see that I'm telling I gotta get the eye
for me.
Like I owe every time a veg,every time a subway.
I'm like, listen, all theveggies and as much as you're
allowed to put on there, I Don'tcare if it closes.
It doesn't have to close, it'sfine.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
The more veggies, the the less calorie dense that
it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, I mean your volume exactly that's what
volume eating now, um, um, likegranola bars, like not bad,
again you get some oats, but youknow like they.
You know I can eat a lot ofgranola bars.
That's real Problem.
I can eat so many granola bars.
They're really good.
So, like just mix them in withyou know your fruit or whatever,
(32:16):
because yeah, you can kind ofgo to, or like those nature
Valley bars, like you open it upand it's just granola, like
it's no longer bar, like it's.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, those that they fall apart.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
They're so dry one bite and literally busts into 17
trillion pieces.
And it's everywhere in your car.
What the hell happened?
Maybe don't take that one onthe road if you do eat it over a
bucket, cuz what?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Nature valley, along with this bucket in your lap.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Someone's you like, oh you had a nature Valley bar,
didn't you Hold up their bucket?
It's just filled, it's filledwith fucking crumbs.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Hey, nature Valley, we've got your next commercial
idea for you.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
They need to lean into it.
Nature Valley Come on, guys,you got to lean into and just
feel like, yeah, we know ourbars crumble into a trillion
pieces in your hand, but westill like them.
Like I did a recipe reviewwhere it's like he crushed up a
nature Valley bar and then putit at the Bottom and then put
yogurt on top of that with, likesome fruit.
It was really good, like I loveto see some dark chocolate, I
don't even remember, buteveryone's like the fakest part
(33:19):
of that is crushing up thegranola bar.
Cuz, it's already crushed up.
You just open it and you justput it in there, it's already.
Yeah, you don't have to whackit.
Oh, you know, we didn't evenmention like the biggest, the
best thing to snack on the road,rob, what is it when you're
just stacking on the road?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Is it a chocolate bar ?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yes, that's the best thing to stack on a road.
A fucking Hershey's bar.
What are you talking about?
No, it's the alternative tochips.
It starts with a puh and endswith oar.
Come on man, porn, porn.
Yes, you got a snack on porn onthe road.
That's.
I'm a grown child and I stackon porn on the road.
(34:01):
Print it, I want a shirt.
I want that on a shirt.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
That's the next in moderation merch coming.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
I stack on porn on the road.
What, what are you?
How are you wearing that?
Why, what are you?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Oh, it's just a podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
It's an inside joke.
You wouldn't get it.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
We got another audience here.
He's saying it's bananas andI'm going to go kick him now.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yes, no, OK, I mean that those are.
Listen is for some people havebroken taste buds and they don't
like them, and it's fine.
But bananas are great, Bananachips are great.
Popcorn was what I was lookingfor.
Was the answer to that, I meanyou set yourself up with the P
and Oren.
Oh yeah, snacking on the road,yes, snack on the porn on the
(34:49):
road, of course.
How could I have not seen thatListen?
And here's the thing.
And here's the thing.
It's like people just sit thereand eat popcorn.
You pop a bag or whatever.
You have a bag, you throw somenuts in there, boom.
Oh yeah, you've got, you've gota bag of popcorn with some
peanuts and you throw some likesome banana chips in there.
(35:13):
Oh, there we go, and you knowyou lost me.
Whatever nuts or you know.
You just throw whatever like ina bag and you just like.
It's just like a lower calorie,kind of like trail mix sort of
thing, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, you know it's goodlike like Kroger and the other
what you call regular storeshave the ocean spray or so I
(35:34):
don't remember what it is Lowsugar cranberries.
So they sell dried cranberriesand they have low sugar ones
where they add fiber to it.
I'm telling you, people havetold me like thank you for
turning me on to this.
So if you are listening rightnow and you are not getting in
reduced sugar cranberries, Idon't know what is wrong with
you.
Please go to your store rightnow.
Stop listening to this podcast.
Go if you have a Kroger.
The Kroger version is cheaperand it's like 11 grams of fiber
(35:56):
per serving.
You could throw that in with,like you know, some nuts or some
popcorn or whatever like thatand you're getting just a ton of
fiber and antioxidants,Basically anything colorful
that's not like artificial, likepeople.
Whenever I say like, eatcolorful foods, are like, oh,
jello and starburst.
Yes, you figured it out.
That's how to be healthy is toeat copious amounts of starburst
(36:17):
and skittles.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
So Jesus has a very, very important question for me,
which is why don't you likebananas?
That?
Speaker 2 (36:29):
is a good question.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And the answer to that, jesus, is because they're
disgusting, mushy things thatthey, you don't even need to use
your teeth on them, you justpush them with your tongue into
the roof of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I mean, I guess we were talking about texture and
how we need texture, so I thinkmy wife's trying to put her
daughter to sleep in the nextroom.
I'm just like Scorinian is inthe micro, perfect, perfect.
But I guess what you said.
You didn't like texture, so whynot dry bananas then?
So they're not there.
They're banana chips, they'renot.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
It was honestly.
I'm going to be honest like I.
I I lean into the hating bananathing, but banana chips aren't
bad.
See, there we go.
If I.
They're not my favorite, but ifI had to, so it's clearly a
texture thing.
Bananas.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
it would be a dehydrated banana, so it's it's
clearly a texture thing you'rehaving trouble with it's just
mostly a texture thing.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
There's a little bit of a taste to it.
Okay, okay, okay, okay Okay.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Okay, okay.
What about banana muffins?
You turn in a muffin, you addsome walnuts and some like
blueberries.
What about them?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
No, well, I haven't had a muffin, but I did have
banana bread and I was like, no,like there.
There's definitely a tasteaspect to it.
Still,
Hey, liam, liam.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Guess what Chicken butt.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Chicken butts are also up, I'm pretty sure that's
what you have to answer to thatevery time.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
But yes, it is the rule, but we're also on Episode
19,.
But there's an even biggerthing here that I haven't
actually told anybody yet.

recap this week things thatannoyed us this way, things that
annoyed us.
You know, I saw a video fromCourtney.
Oh, another one.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yay.
Finally on New Year's sheposted a video doubling down on
being a food snob, basically tosaying that she does the only
thing she does I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
that's her whole persona.
What else is?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
there, Right?
I mean she's walking aroundgrocery stores with a $3,000
handbag.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh, it's so good.
Stupid, poor peasants having tofind cheap food.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
But she was.
She was complaining that thereal enemy is the companies
behind these cheap foods.
Yeah, it's always the companyshouldn't be giving them our
money.
We should give our money tothese other people that you know
she endorses and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Right, that's always kind of my the thing that I have
the most trouble with and it'sreally annoying.
It's just like they'll takelike a piece that is true.
It's kind of like the AndrewTate thing, you know where
they'll say like a piece.
That is like correct, likethese companies do all these
terrible things.
It's like, yeah for sure, likegreed sucks, it's all about
money.
People at the top will doanything to make more money.
(03:02):
So you know like, yeah, theykind of say and then they'll,
but then they'll take thatmassive jump and then be like so
we can't give, we can't givethem any money and you should
only do what I say.
And it's like whoa, that was abig fucking jump you made
recently.
What the fuck are you talkingabout?
Yeah, yeah, it kind of sucksthat they're doing these things,
(03:22):
but like it's all people have.
So like, how about you?
Don't make them feel shittyabout it?
What about that?
Is that an option?
No, it's not an option.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Okay, bad enough that people have trouble affording
food.
We're just going to dump onthem while they're trying to
scrape by.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, and it's always the cheap things.
Like, oh, I get mad, I gotupset with, I kept getting
tagged in like Gary Brekhovity.
It was like three things youneed to avoid, and I just like
it's always the cheapest thing,it's never always like tap water
and I'm like, oh yeah, thething that people can easily
access, almost the most crucialthing to their existence, like
(04:04):
air than water.
Like those are the two thingsin that order, like the second
most important thing, that'sfree, that's what you need to
get rid of.
It's like man get fucked.
Like really, that's, oh it's.
And the next one, you know it'salways like vegetable oils,
like, oh, it's all.
Like the cheap cooking oil,cool, like all right, just, I
guess we'll all buy fake avocadooil because apparently it's not
(04:24):
real either, and so you knowyou might have to, and expensive
bottled mountain spring water.
Oh, hydrogenated water, or maybeget my stick that?
What if you?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
put his stick Motherwater.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, what if you put his like anilema stick in tap
water?
Does that work, or is that?
Is it already the tap water.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Let's get Gary Brekhovity on here and ask him.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, he's like ooh, I want to make money off that
stick, but I also want to keepto my principles of not telling
people to drink tap water, solike I feel like he'd be torn,
you know.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
How much?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
how much is the money I want to make important to me?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
That's always the thing, isn't it?
The instant there's some moneyinvolved, they'll bend over
backwards, go back on their word, whatever.
Yeah, obviously really good atthat.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I mean he'll just say whatever people fucking pay him
to say, don't matter, yeah, andthen like and that's the thing
with these people is just likethey just throw so much shit out
there.
Eventually one video pops offand they'll just like put scary
music behind it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh man, isn't the scary music great, you know just
that, like ominous music, it'salways the same three songs.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
There's like yeah, two or three, and it's always
with those, it's just like.
I mean, I guess it works.
I can't, what am I going to say?
What am I saying?
It fucking works.
So you know, just keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I guess I was funny enough.
I was editing the video withAndy our episode seven, I
believe it was, and you know, inthat we distinctly talked about
how bringing up emotions,especially emotions of fear,
great selling things.
And so you get that musicthat's like evil ominous music,
(06:01):
yeah, ominous, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It just kind of already sets the mood for like,
ooh, what am I going to learn?
That someone's trying to killme with almond milk.
And that was the one that waslike Dave Asprey.
Like he's like, oh, it's thevideo you covered.
I was like I don't even know ifI want to cover this.
Or it's like, oh, they take acouple almonds and turn it on.
Okay, so then you know, just,oh, it's got all these different
(06:24):
compounds.
Like, do you see, recently,james Smith, like he did a video
in the grocery store with, likeyou know, pretending and I'm
like pretending to be one ofthese fear mongers, I'm like
this is not far off.
This is pretty much what theyexactly what they do.
So I'm planning on trying tomaybe do something with that.
I don't know.
Just play another clip that'ssimilar to what he said and be
(06:46):
like yeah, no, that's prettymuch what they say.
Yeah, that's pretty much younailed it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We should just splice together like like everybody's
got the.
There's a lot of people thathave those making fun of the
shirtless influencer in thestore.
We should just get like a bunchof them and splice each person
together into a long string.
Yeah, one person do each onething, any interval thing.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm saying you could like interlude that with like
clips for real clips of peoplebeing serious, and it's just
like this.
You know, this isn't anycrazier.
This is exactly what they say.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, oh, awkward pause while we're waiting for
somebody to call it.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Maybe All right, no call ins this week.
Forget it.
People don't want to do it.
We're just going to rant aboutshit that pisses us off,
apparently, things we've seenBecause I got.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I got plenty of.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Chris here in chat.
He can't call in because he'son his phone, but he just wanted
to say that I just recentlyfound you guys and I have been
loving the content since I'm afirefighter and hopefully soon.
Are you Chris that wrote in?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Probably, if he's calling in here, he's probably
willing to call in.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, the firefighter , paramedic thing, Like oh, I
remember that, I remember that.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So yeah, this is Chris that wrote in on one of
our episodes before.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Firefighter, that's I mean a shout out.
Like I've talked to people whoare firefighters.
It seems like they're sitting,oh what are their shifts are
like, you know, 800 hours longand they're like the same place
and then just waiting and I,yeah, that's, I mean it's a lot.
And though I've talked to himand the drills they go through
to stay in shape.
(08:28):
There's like a guy that goes tomy gym.
He works in the firehouse andit's funny because he's going to
get into powerlifting so he'sgaining all this weight, but now
he's having trouble doing likethe, the basically obstacle
courses that they do to stay inshape because he's gaining all
this weight for powerlifting.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Right, yeah, I mean that's awesome.
But he would love to know ifthe moderation can be
implemented with his lifestyle,especially since life is
expensive, which, yeah, it isLife is, especially if you're in
Canada right now.
But that's actually that'spretty great, because we just
(09:01):
the other day, we were talkingabout how we wanted to go back
to our roots and talk about how,you know, eating healthy on the
road, on the job, when it'sharder to to achieve these
things.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, that's the deal I'm kind of curious with like
fire station, do they?
I'm assuming they have somesort of kitchen in there.
Are you able to like actuallycook anything in there?
Do you just have to bringthings in?
Because I'm assuming a lot offire stations they probably just
order food in and whatnot.
Right, it's gotta.
It's gotta be something likethat.
But if you can, perhapssomething like it's it's
firehouse, like chili, like theydo chili cookoffs for like
(09:34):
firehouses, right.
So they gotta have some way tolike cook the things.
I'm assuming.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
We go to the store for dinner and breakfast usually
.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, that's, that's plenty.
I mean it's you can figure outsomething for like lunch.
That's not bad at all yeah thelike.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I guess the question is what does the store have?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
As long as you have like a basic grocery store, you
just do this.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Those rotisserie chickens are great.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I mean those things are great, yeah, yeah.
No, definitely what I would dois like try and batch cook
something, because I'm sure at afire station you got a fridge
right, like you got to have afridge.
If you can batch cook somethinglike a chili or you know, your
your chicken so you can get theCostco, you know any rotisserie
chicken is great, but I meanreally like there's.
(10:20):
I mean this is like there's somany recipes out there Like I'm
telling you, just go on and justbe like recipes with whatever.
I'm sure you can find plenty ofstuff.
I'm gonna do a.
See you know what like liveaction, I'm gonna do this shit
right now there we go.
I'm going to go online andfigure out like what's the you
know meal prep in for a firestation?
I guarantee you that's evenlike I can think someone's
(10:43):
written about.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Watch this.
He did say he thinks it's hardsince so many guys have
different personalities anddiets.
So are you guys like all, allordering the same stuff?
Or like, well, I guess grouporders, or try.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
We're trying to, like you know there's a whole book,
someone's written like a PDF,healthy firehouse recipes.
Holy shit, that's awesome, I'mtelling you.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I guess.
I guess there should be nosurprise there's a book for
everything these days.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
A Pinterest head there's a whole like fire
station meals, wave Osran,cheros, chicken and dumpling
recipes.
I mean, that's pretty simple.
Ooh, a lot of this looks reallygood.
Damn.
Now I'm starting to get hungry.
I'm just looking at all thisstuff.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, I just like, what, like what appliances and
stuff do you actually have atthe fire station?
Do you have access to anything?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I'm sure these got the basic stuff right.
Oh, meatballs, oh, do you likemeatball pasta?
So do I have veggie orsomething?
That would be awesome.
It seems like a lot of WaveOsran Cheros.
Do firehouses eat a lot of WaveOsran Cheros?
Because that's what I'mlearning from this.
Oh, jumbalaya, bro, you makesome Jumbalaya?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I'm intrigued and sometimes Instant Pot, like on
that note with the sometimesInstant Pot.
Like one of you run out to athrift store and grab a crock
pot, boom, that's like you canjust throw stuff in there.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Don't Instant Pot work as a crock pot, can't you?
It's just like slow cook onthem.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Sometimes, Hmm.
So I'm saying you know like gograb a cheap crock pot so that
you always have it and it's justsitting there as part you know
belongs to the firehouse, andthen look up Zach Cohen's
recipes, because he's got somany crock pot.
That's yes.
Zach does have a lot of crockpot recipes.
He loves that thing.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What is it?
Buffalo chicken meal prep withpeanut butter on top, like in
the Instant Pot.
That's awesome Greek chickenand rice.
I'm telling you guys, listen,I'm telling you, just go online
and look like Instant Potrecipes there's so many is in
the looks, so, so simple.
Like the Instant Pot, like guys, instant Pot's, you can just
like saute in them already, likethey hit, just like get warm,
(12:52):
and then you saute your likeonions and garlic and whatever
it is, and then you just throweverything in there and cook it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, I just realized .
One possible problem I'mguessing you might have is just
the fact that there's, you know,instant Pot, your cook, it's
big enough to cook for like afamily of four, a family of five
.
Right, there's probably morepeople at the firehouse than
that.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Which is again, go to the thrift store and like, find
two crock pots so you can justthrow, load them up and then
with like, a beef meal, load onewith a chicken meal.
It lets you guys pick.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Oh, one pan meals, bro.
One pan meals are the best.
You get some like you get somechicken or protein or whatever.
You get your vegetables youjust mix all the other potatoes,
you know, throw some potatoesin there.
So you guys like a complexstarch, like that's awesome,
throw it all in the oven.
Olive oil and seasoning, boom.
You know, you can use yourInstant Pot to make rice.
Have that on the side, bam.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Or again, if you see a rice cooker while you're
thrifting, pick that up.
Those things are perfect forgetting an easy meal going.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I love thrift stores.
I'll tell you the food theyhave there those usually pass
the best by date and I don'trecommend it often.
I bought it.
It does not work out all thetime.
Sometimes it has.
I have found good things, butit's very hit or miss.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Very hit or miss.
Hit up a thrift store, Take awander down their kitchen
appliance aisle, grab a coupleof crock pots.
If there's a rice cooker, grabit.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Honeyball Sonic chicken and forget With sweet
potatoes, honeyball Sonic withsweet potatoes.
I might have to.
I might actually have to makethis.
And I see now I'm looking, allthese recipes, the kinds of
recipes everywhere.
Just go online and look at them.
It's so simple, you have theinstrument at your fingertips.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Because you know Zach's a good friend, he's got a
great he's got awesome recipes.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
There's so many people making awesome recipes.
I go over recipes all the timebecause there's just so many
people like what about this?
What about that?
I'm like you should make it.
Why are you telling me to makeit?
I'm going to make it.
I'm going to tell you if it'sgood or not, but you should also
make it, Come on.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So he says thanks, this is good information.
He loves it.
Keep it simple.
But you know what?
From there, let's move fromthere to people with jobs that
they're more mobile, liketruckers and stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, like on the road, that's always kind of like
the tricky one, right.
So like my kind of go to what Ilove is obviously like fruit in
all forms, so you know you gotyour regular fruit.
It'll last like a while, youknow, bringing with apples,
bananas, whatever it is.
But like if you're on the roadfor like a long time, just get
dried fruit, like it's awesome.
Like I absolutely love driedfruit Dried mango is probably my
(15:29):
favorite but like you know, Idon't have dried mango.
Dried mango is so good.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I get it from Costco on the Facebook the dried
bananas banana chips crunch.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Again, I'm at dollar stores, those actually go to
dollar store get some bananachips Actually not bad, but yeah
, like I always get like theCostco, big Costco bag of dried
mango is really good.
You could bring that on theroad, you could bring.
I love having, like they havethem at the store, the tuna
pouches you know, like alldifferent seasonings and stuff
like that for once.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
So you get some like Like a can of tuna, can of
sardines, can of whatever.
See my fish.
They're nice and small.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Like.
But like the sardines and stuff, I've always been a little iffy
on those.
Like they got to be in somereal good like mustard or hot
sauce or something, because theydon't taste that great.
And they got bones in them,often like crunch crunch.
I'm not a big fan of that RightCrunching on bones.
I don't even care if they'relittle, tiny bones.
No, thank you.
I get the tuna pouches great.
(16:30):
Walmart has their own versionslike a dollar, like 90 cents,
something like that.
They got like ranch and buffaloand sesame like ginger.
That's probably my favorite.
They got a whole bunch of them.
Grab those, throw them in yourtruck, bring them with you.
Yeah, if you want somethinglower calorie.
Pickles oh, pickles are great Ilove, though, like you know,
(16:51):
again, they always have likedifferent flavored ones and then
even at like truck stops Inoticed I'll have like the whole
pickle.
Have you ever seen that Likeit's just one giant pickle in a
bag?
I'm like that is a weird andit's always overpriced too,
Cause I'm like it's like adollar or two for like a single
pickle.
I'm like this is kind ofridiculous.
You're gouging here, but it iskind of cool.
I like that.
It's like a strong garlicflavor or whatever it is.
(17:11):
So it's pretty neat.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That is.
One of the problems is thattruck stops, gas stations, they
always are gouging.
They're always going to beexpensive, right yeah, I mean
like where else are you going togo?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So like it's just you know, like you kind of just
have to deal with it.
There's really not much you cando.
I do like they usually havelike hard boiled eggs.
If I'm at a truck stop and theyhave like a hard boiled egg
like usually have like two orthree in like a little container
, it's usually not thatexpensive, I feel like it's
usually like a dollar or two fora few of them.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
How long do hard boiled eggs last outside of a
fridge?
That's a good question Offhand.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Because if they yeah, you look that up because if
that's, if they last you know adecent amount of time out of the
fridge, that's another optionthe throwing a bag, throwing a
truck.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Okay, well it's.
It's seven days in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Seven days in the fridge.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Two hours.
That says, according to the USDepartment of Agriculture, a
couple hours.
So you know if you're on theroad and you grab them.
You just got to eat them.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, though, if you do have room, to just bring a
small cooler with an ice pack.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, you could do that too, but you know, you stop
if you're just like looking forsomething that you can just eat
there, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh, I love the little like.
Oh, they always got like thehummer, they got like the hummus
cups.
You know what I'm talking about.
They got this little like theSaba and they got little
pretzels.
Damn, that's good.
I always get those.
I like those yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Um you know of course , always have, like you know, a
good thermos of water orsomething, especially if you're,
if you're having these driedfruits, it's good to make sure
you're staying hydrated andthat's why you get whatever diet
soda they have.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
It's so I get listen if you're in.
America they've got all theoptions for diet soda and you
get to make your favorite.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But I do recommend um , like if you have room in the
truck, if you have room in thevehicle, whatever, go to the
dollar store on your day off.
Just pick up a flat of whateveryou want at the dollar store
because that's going to be cheap.
Don't wait until you're at thegas station where it's three
times the price.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Like a big, like two liter or something like that,
like one of those, Well, eventhe cans even cans are way
cheaper at a dollar store than agas station.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I can't do that store in a while.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I got to go.
I want to do that for a video.
I'm about to go to the dollarstore and find like my best
finds at the dollar store.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Cause I'm telling you like I usually get my energy,
drinks and stuff, I'll go to thedollar store because it's even
cheaper than Walmart by like adollar.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
You know what I like there.
They got like all the differentselection of nuts Like I love.
They like cashews, peanuts.
They got blends selection withlike walnuts and all sorts of
different things.
Yeah, if you're, that's alwaysa good option.
I'm telling you you got like atruck stop or dollar store,
whatever like that.
Just get whatever, whatevernuts you like.
It doesn't matter which ones.
People always like which ones,don't matter.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Okay, I'm a simpleton , I like that, that's another
great thing to throw in a truckor something is nuts yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Any nuts, any seeds, sunflower seeds you're on the
road and just like sitting therebored, just throw some
sunflower seeds in there.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I always have trouble like eating a whole bunch of
nuts.
Pumpkin seeds.
If you like pumpkin seeds, Ilike pumpkin seeds Pumpkin seeds
.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
How do people eat all like that?
How do people throw a handfulof fucking sunflower seeds in
their mouth and eat a wholebunch of them?
I don't understand this.
It's like they just go and theyjust spit out all the seeds.
I'm like I got to do like oneor two at a time.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I can't just be like you know somebody is a fisherman
when they do that.
That's what you're doing whenyou're fishing.
You got your rod and water.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I think they're spitting out like a handful.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
You grab a handful, you throw them in your mouth and
you're just like right and Iguess you just do one, okay.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So they are just doing one at a time, it's not
like they're all just likecrunching, and then spit yeah,
yeah, you kind of like pocket it.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
you know the squirrel pocket in the side of your
mouth and you just pull one in,you crunch, spit it out, move on
to the next one.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, get like just like a cup if you're on the road
or something, and just likespit them out.
That's yeah.
Sunflower seeds Awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But, like pumpkin seeds are great for magnesium.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
It's like the best source of magnesium, like
pumpkin seeds, I think, like aserving gives you like 30 or 40%
or something like in your day.
Yeah, like it's not that many.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And one thing people are scared of nuts because they
always have like a very high,they're very calorically dense
and stuff, but you do not absorball those calories.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's true.
You also don't absorb likealmonds.
It's like 30% of the caloriesyou don't absorb and that's one
that you turn it into like nutbutters and stuff like that, so
like you can absorb morecalories because it's just all
ground up.
But yeah, and also they've gotlike a protein, some protein,
they got some fiber, they gotsome healthy fats.
It's really not that bad.
Like you know, people give shitto trail mix too and like I
(21:44):
totally get that.
It's really.
I feel like trail mix is likewhen you start getting the
chocolates and they like theM&Ms, and then you got like
dried fruit and then you've gotlike nuts and stuff I can eat
quite a bit of like trail mix onthe road when it's got like
M&Ms in it.
It's so good.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And you know another good one.
This goes back to when Dr Terrywas on.
We were talking about howchewing stuff keeps you more
awake and alert while you'redriving, and he said he likes to
eat carrots on the road.
And I've actually been doingthat since he told us about it
and it is awesome.
You just have a bag of carrotsthere and you're just munching
away and it's great.
(22:19):
You're getting your veggies inwhile you're driving, All right.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
So we're going to just steal from other people's
content here, because that'spretty much what I do anyway.
I looked it up and I'm justlooking at like healthy road
trip snacks and literally in thepicture, first one hard boiled
legs.
Look at us Like we're fuckingkilling it over here.
This is the best podcast ever.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yes it is.
Why aren't we number one in theUS yet?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
And veggies.
It says veggies First, one saysbaby carrots, boom, look at us.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Celery sticks, obviously snap peas.
Oh, I like snap peas.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh, I love peas.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
You know like you get something.
You know like something to dipit in.
You get some hummus or you knowwhatever.
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Peas are my favorite fruit.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You need to get.
You need to get the littlethings of applesauce right, and
then you just like the kids,like the moths or whatever, like
you know.
So you know I'm a 32 year oldkid.
All right, I can drink thosethings on the road.
It's awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
On that note.
Yogurt, those little cups ofyogurt.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
That's also on this list.
I see that.
But you know you definitelyneed a little cooler and stuff
with that, you know so like thisis the good thing about like
those applesauce pouches orwhatever cups.
You just throw a whole bunch inyour car or whatever and you're
good to go.
Oh string cheese, string cheese.
You got a little cooler.
I love those like little babybell and like string cheese.
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, cooler comes in handy.
You get one of those littleones that's basically a lunch
kit.
Oh, and this goes.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, this goes for anybody who's going to work too,
because I always get asked that, like, what do I bring at work?
All the everything that we justsaid, bring that to work.
You got a little fridge orsomething like that.
Put it in there some fruit,some cheese, some eggs, like.
Because that's the thing.
When I'm at work, like you know, do I want to have like this
huge meal.
I don't know.
I kind of just snack, like Idon't know.
I don't know what to do aboutwith that.
So if I have these like kind ofmore nutritious snacks, the
(24:08):
gogurt squeezes, the gogurtsqueezes, bro, listen, I froze
those.
Not that long ago, I've nevertried them frozen before.
People are like what the fuck'swrong?
Do you never tried them frozenbefore?
I'm like, listen, I never gotthem frozen before.
I don't know what you want fromme.
Okay, I tried them frozen.
They're pretty good.
It is kind of like a fro-yo,you know.
I mean it is fro-yo, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
The snacking at the desk.
That's a big thing From drivingon the road.
Now we're in the office.
A lot of people have troublewith the snacking at the desk
and they'll hide like candy intheir desk or something yeah At
the desk and just place that Inyour car With all these options
that we've been talking about,or even like I actually in my
drawer right here I keep acouple packs of gum.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Gum yeah, exactly as long as it doesn't have any
sugar in it, because that'llkill you.
But other than the sugar freeand this, don't get xylitol
either, because that'll killyour dog.
Yeah, xylitol is apparentlyextremely deadly to dogs.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yes, it is so anybody out there.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Don't give your dog xylitol.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
That's why you gotta be careful with peanut butter.
The peanut butter sweetens withxylitol.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I've heard people say that I've never yet to see a
peanut butter that has xylitolin it, though I've looked at
different peanut butter.
I've never had to look I don'thave a dog, I have a cat and
I've never looked, but I'velooked at peanut butter.
Someone out there, if you haveseen a peanut butter, xylitol in
it, send it in to us, because Ihave yet to see that show.
Okay.
So yogurt, hard boiled eggs,obviously.
Yeah, deli meats, you can bringthat.
(25:34):
If you have something, bring towork, throw it in the fridge or
whatever.
That's obviously great.
Sandwiches like the classic,bring to work because it is so
simple.
Sandwiches don't give enoughcredit.
All right, that's all I'msaying.
They don't.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Sandwiches are awesome and I love bread.
I love a good crusty bread,especially those everything
breads with seeds and stuff, ohyeah, and sourdough too, man,
I'm a sucker for sourdoughChabada buns are like one of my
favorites Chabada yeah, chabada,chabada, chabada.
Chabada, chabada, chabada,focaccia.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Focaccia is a bread, I think.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
It's a something that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I'm pretty sure Focaccia is a bread we're going
with.
It's a bread and it's alsopretty good, because I worked at
a restaurant at a Focacciabread that made with sandwich
and it's really good.
Sandwiches, don't give enoughcredit.
Make more sandwiches,absolutely yeah.
Ooh, grapes, I love me somegrapes.
I like just throwing them in alittle powich or something like
that.
People always say to freezegrapes.
I've done that.
I'm underwhelmed.
(26:32):
How do I say this?
I don't hate them, but it'sjust like oh, they're just like
gummy bears, fuck you.
They're just like gummies.
They're not like gummy bears.
I mean, they're fine.
Have you had frozen grapes?
What's to take on frozen grapes?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I have not.
I've not had frozen grapes.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Next episode we're going to ask how frozen grapes
are to rub, because he's goingto have to go try it, because I
need somebody else on my side tobe like.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
eh, Okay, making a note of that in the podcast book
here.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Freeze, grapes Freeze .
And it's upload freeze grapes.
Those are the things on my list.
Oh, that's the best bread.
What's that like healthy?
Okay, I think they just call itthat like oat nut bread or
whatever.
Okay, in the States there's onecalled like oat nut bread.
(27:17):
It's like 500 calories perslice.
It's insane.
Like the calories areastronomical and I think it's
like 120 per slice, but it's sogood Like, if I'm like at a
stage where I'm trying to maybeput on a little weight, I always
get that the oat nut bread.
It's just, it's like crack.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Although like is it like a whole nuts that are in it
.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So they have like little seeds or whatever, like
they got, like some type ofseeds or whatever.
So there is some crunch to it.
It does have texture and I'm asucker for texture.
I need texture.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That's why, yeah, this is why we're crunchy peanut
butter.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Listen you, fuck, listen you numphies out there.
I said in a video that I was acrunchy peanut butter boy and
you guys were all freaking outlike, oh no, I like smooth.
What do you mean?
Unfollow, fuck you unfollow.
Crunchy peanut butter is thebest peanut butter.
Why do you not want moretexture?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's why I like the crusty breads.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Exactly, yeah, oh, I want just like a soft bread,
like I get it.
I guess if you're doing like apeanut butter sandwich, you want
that white bread or whateverlike that you had as a kid.
Like nostalgia, I understandthat, but, like for the most
part, I want some God damn bread.
Damn texture.
I'm an adult, yeah absolutelyI'm a grown.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I am 100% with.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Liam, on this one, I need some texture.
Speaking of texture, oh, thosekind bars.
I like the kind bars.
Now, aldi, if you haven't Aldi,I'm telling you they have their
own version.
That's like so much cheaper,it's like half the price, and
they're really good.
So they're just like fruit andnuts and like dark chocolate,
like that's all.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Yeah, so is it kind that has a blueberry one.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
They probably have one.
They got all sorts of stuff.
They got many.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I don't remember offhand, but I I want to say it
was kind and they had ablueberry one and I thought that
was delicious.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Hmm, yeah, I don't think I've had.
I mean, I don't know sure if Ihad that.
But like they got Burp, theygot all sorts of stuff.
I say, gear up some kind barsor fair Aldi, get the Aldi
version.
Oh, pretty much always, get theAldi version.
I'm very rarely underwhelmed bytheir protein bar selections
kind of ass.
I'm not gonna lie.
What's going on Aldi and yourketo bars?
They're like 500 calories.
What are you doing?
But oh, you know what's.
(29:22):
You know that's actually not abad idea.
Like, get a little baggy rightand get yourself some like
Cheerios or something like evenlike honeynut Cheerios and
because, like that, they're madeof oats, you know.
So at least you're kind ofgetting your oats there.
Because, like, sitting thereeating raw oats, what am I?
A horse like?
I'm not really gonna do that.
So, like, get some Cheerios andthen get some fruit.
(29:42):
You know you can get some driedfruit or like some blueberries
or something like that and justhave that along with some cereal
, like like a fuckingthree-year-old wood.
But I'll still do it again.
I'm a grown fucking baby, iswhat I am.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, that, that describes Liam in a nutshell.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I mean.
No, this is me in a nutshell.
Help, I'm in a nutshell.
I was hoping you would go there.
I fucking love Austin powers.
That's all three of them aregood, the third one not quite as
good as the first two, but,like you know, it's rare for a
movies, for movies, just to keepgoing and be that good, like
John Wick I watched on likerecently.
(30:19):
All of them were good.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Well, like that, and even if, like, your place of
work has a microwave, then youcan always do the, the meal prep
right.
Get some chicken and rice, goand throw it in a microwave
container and no, prep is alwaysthe way to go, like in.
Option on the road even is some.
Some places have access to amicrowave.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
That'd be interesting .
I mean, you have to keep thosecold, especially with like rice
and stuff like that.
It is kind of tricky.
What I would, hmm.
What if you got like those ricepouches, you know, like the
individual rice?
Yeah, those last bring thatwith you on the road and then,
if you have a place to heat itup Sometimes some places will
have a microwave.
That's a little tricky, hmm.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, I'll honestly hit up subway.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I just there's a sandwich I'm gonna get, I'm
gonna get I'm gonna get tuna andI'm gonna get all the veggies
and then like Light mayo I'llusually like it that and then
that's my meal personally, atsubway I get chicken with the,
the marinara sauce, the pizzasauce, and Then I load that up
(31:27):
with lettuce, spinach, a littlebit of onion and Salt and pepper
.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I have to get all the veggies I have to.
I can't get all the veggies up.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Okay, I can see that I'm telling I gotta get the eye
for me.
Like I owe every time a veg,every time a subway.
I'm like, listen, all theveggies and as much as you're
allowed to put on there, I Don'tcare if it closes.
It doesn't have to close, it'sfine.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
The more veggies, the the less calorie dense that
it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, I mean your volume exactly that's what
volume eating now, um, um, likegranola bars, like not bad,
again you get some oats, but youknow like they.
You know I can eat a lot ofgranola bars.
That's real Problem.
I can eat so many granola bars.
They're really good.
So, like just mix them in withyou know your fruit or whatever,
(32:16):
because yeah, you can kind ofgo to, or like those nature
Valley bars, like you open it upand it's just granola, like
it's no longer bar, like it's.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, those that they fall apart.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
They're so dry one bite and literally busts into 17
trillion pieces.
And it's everywhere in your car.
What the hell happened?
Maybe don't take that one onthe road if you do eat it over a
bucket, cuz what?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Nature valley, along with this bucket in your lap.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Someone's you like, oh you had a nature Valley bar,
didn't you Hold up their bucket?
It's just filled, it's filledwith fucking crumbs.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Hey, nature Valley, we've got your next commercial
idea for you.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
They need to lean into it.
Nature Valley Come on, guys,you got to lean into and just
feel like, yeah, we know ourbars crumble into a trillion
pieces in your hand, but westill like them.
Like I did a recipe reviewwhere it's like he crushed up a
nature Valley bar and then putit at the Bottom and then put
yogurt on top of that with, likesome fruit.
It was really good, like I loveto see some dark chocolate, I
don't even remember, buteveryone's like the fakest part
(33:19):
of that is crushing up thegranola bar.
Cuz, it's already crushed up.
You just open it and you justput it in there, it's already.
Yeah, you don't have to whackit.
Oh, you know, we didn't evenmention like the biggest, the
best thing to snack on the road,rob, what is it when you're
just stacking on the road?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Is it a chocolate bar ?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yes, that's the best thing to stack on a road.
A fucking Hershey's bar.
What are you talking about?
No, it's the alternative tochips.
It starts with a puh and endswith oar.
Come on man, porn, porn.
Yes, you got a snack on porn onthe road.
That's.
I'm a grown child and I stackon porn on the road.
(34:01):
Print it, I want a shirt.
I want that on a shirt.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
That's the next in moderation merch coming.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
I stack on porn on the road.
What, what are you?
How are you wearing that?
Why, what are you?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Oh, it's just a podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
It's an inside joke.
You wouldn't get it.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
We got another audience here.
He's saying it's bananas andI'm going to go kick him now.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yes, no, OK, I mean that those are.
Listen is for some people havebroken taste buds and they don't
like them, and it's fine.
But bananas are great, Bananachips are great.
Popcorn was what I was lookingfor.
Was the answer to that, I meanyou set yourself up with the P
and Oren.
Oh yeah, snacking on the road,yes, snack on the porn on the
(34:49):
road, of course.
How could I have not seen thatListen?
And here's the thing.
And here's the thing.
It's like people just sit thereand eat popcorn.
You pop a bag or whatever.
You have a bag, you throw somenuts in there, boom.
Oh yeah, you've got, you've gota bag of popcorn with some
peanuts and you throw some likesome banana chips in there.
(35:13):
Oh, there we go, and you knowyou lost me.
Whatever nuts or you know.
You just throw whatever like ina bag and you just like.
It's just like a lower calorie,kind of like trail mix sort of
thing, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, you know it's goodlike like Kroger and the other
what you call regular storeshave the ocean spray or so I
(35:34):
don't remember what it is Lowsugar cranberries.
So they sell dried cranberriesand they have low sugar ones
where they add fiber to it.
I'm telling you, people havetold me like thank you for
turning me on to this.
So if you are listening rightnow and you are not getting in
reduced sugar cranberries, Idon't know what is wrong with
you.
Please go to your store rightnow.
Stop listening to this podcast.
Go if you have a Kroger.
The Kroger version is cheaperand it's like 11 grams of fiber
(35:56):
per serving.
You could throw that in with,like you know, some nuts or some
popcorn or whatever like thatand you're getting just a ton of
fiber and antioxidants,Basically anything colorful
that's not like artificial, likepeople.
Whenever I say like, eatcolorful foods, are like, oh,
jello and starburst.
Yes, you figured it out.
That's how to be healthy is toeat copious amounts of starburst
(36:17):
and skittles.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
So Jesus has a very, very important question for me,
which is why don't you likebananas?
That?
Speaker 2 (36:29):
is a good question.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And the answer to that, jesus, is because they're
disgusting, mushy things thatthey, you don't even need to use
your teeth on them, you justpush them with your tongue into
the roof of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
I mean, I guess we were talking about texture and
how we need texture, so I thinkmy wife's trying to put her
daughter to sleep in the nextroom.
I'm just like Scorinian is inthe micro, perfect, perfect.
But I guess what you said.
You didn't like texture, so whynot dry bananas then?
So they're not there.
They're banana chips, they'renot.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
It was honestly.
I'm going to be honest like I.
I I lean into the hating bananathing, but banana chips aren't
bad.
See, there we go.
If I.
They're not my favorite, but ifI had to, so it's clearly a
texture thing.
Bananas.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
it would be a dehydrated banana, so it's it's
clearly a texture thing you'rehaving trouble with it's just
mostly a texture thing.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
There's a little bit of a taste to it.
Okay, okay, okay, okay Okay.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Okay, okay.
What about banana muffins?
You turn in a muffin, you addsome walnuts and some like
blueberries.
What about them?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
No, well, I haven't had a muffin, but I did have
banana bread and I was like, no,like there.
There's definitely a tasteaspect to it.
