Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
Fune presents French music? Get ready, shouldn't have France. I

(00:24):
don't know how to speak French? Anybody know how to
speak French? Here? All right? Well, welcome to the Universal
Yums version of the fifteen Minute Morning Show. UH. One
of our fine and proud sponsors of our show, Uh.

(00:46):
Garrett explain Universal Yums in a nutshell, pretty much any
dessert or treat from around the world, they bring it
together and you can get a monthly box delivered right
to your home and right to your doorstep, and you
can taste the treats from all around the world. Who
is that? Who's who's making the noise? I was gonna say, actually,
gonna love this anything? I don't know. I'm looking through

(01:09):
the bags. I did hear a big crunch and it
was not me. This is where microphones and trigger that
could have been. Is that you brody? No? All right, well,
let's let's look at some of the offerings. I don't
know how to read this, Seve can fi d'on. Let's say,

(01:30):
onion cone fit and balsamic vinegar chips. Those are gone
from my bag already? Really? Yeah, the family went through
the bag and I said, give me the back. Has
anybody had these yet? No? But they look buttery, don't they?
Butter cookies? Yeah? Yeah, I want to have those French
onion soup and a chip. Is it good? I like this? Yow?

(01:52):
Oh my god? Do you said that? Perfect? Like French
on your chip in a chip? M wait this mayonnaise
about that will be that new spogan. I'm gonna sit
here and stare longingly since I can't eat any of
this yet. Yeah, my box is at my apartment over there.

(02:16):
But scary does that? Like? Why why do you have
to say like I'm on it just like you know,
I'm gonna pass right now, like because all the time,
like you want to, you want to have that, And
I'm like, well, I simply don't know. I can't not
because well I can't because I'm a diabetic and I'll
go into shock if I hadn't. Let me let me,
let me elaborate on that. No, it's because, to be
quite honest, people are staring watching what's going on here,

(02:39):
and I'm just like staring at the screen, not eating,
But like, what what is it to scary? Hate the product?
So no, the truth of the matter is I would
be eating it if I could, but I can't. Well,
and I need description. You need to set that up.
That's all. You're not alone in that boat because I
am not eating sweets, so I will be passing on
these strawberry bon bons. All those were good. Can we

(03:01):
eat this cookie only if we can move onto the
cheesy corn snacks? Please? And when I say move on,
I've already moved on. They're excellent. Did you know the
first cartoon was ever created in France? Are you reading
this interesting trivia? Well? Yes, because each box also comes

(03:23):
along with a little information about where the treats are
coming from, so a ton of you know, France and
sixty seconds. Hm, I see that? Yeah. I also like
on the page it says if you like this treat,
then you'll like this treat from like so if you
like the salted butter caramels, which are amazing by the way, uh,

(03:44):
then you might like the dol filled plumcake from Argentina
because you can actually go on the website and order
snacks that you've liked, Like, my kids love these sour
drops from England, and so I always on there and
I ordered them for them for different occasions because they
love them. Are we moving on yet to the operacott

(04:05):
and Vanilla macaries. Let's find I think I ate those
two women. Daniels jump in ahead, no spoilers is from
Franks that how about these truffles? This is the great
thing like if you've if you've never traveled overseas to
a foreign country, you don't know the world of snacks

(04:25):
and candy that waits you because you look at the
candy like I love candy. I love candy. Bar I
just you know, probably a problem. But when I first
went to another country and I looked at the rack
at the checkout of a supermarket, I'm like, what is
all of this stuff? You have no clue that that
stuff even exists. So that's why you guys, you guys

(04:46):
opened up your young bag yet. Yeah, that's what the
little salted caramels are there? So good? Is it worth trying?
I get too free sweets a week? So is this
one of my usual But if you want to the truffle,
the truffles are so big. You know, we're trying to
get Scotty to go to France because is that still

(05:07):
on the table there? Scotty France Yeah, isn't that what
the trip you can get? Yeah, I don't want to
waste it on Paris. But wait a minute, that's what
we picked. We want to do the France one for
we don't do Paris for years. Yeah, I don't know,
we're wasted on France. You want to go to Cancoon
and don't know. I just feel like it's just a

(05:27):
short amount of time for you know, a city like
that that you've never been to before. Plus my guess
is the radio station probably put you up in a
hotel that's a yankety thing that's far away from everything,
and in a country where I don't understand the language.
I really don't want to deal with that. Well, bring
this box of treats with you. There's a nice little
map on there. Sure I'll be able to figure see

(05:50):
the thing. Scotty. Everybody in France speaks English. Yeah, but
they hate you for speaking English to them. Huh. Video.
I watched the whole video about etiquette when you go
to France, because we've taken a couple of cruises where
like you know, you hop off in France and they
don't appreciate if you don't make an effort. They want
you to at least make the effort learn how to
say you know, like bon sure, and how to say

(06:12):
thank you and those kind of things. But if you
just come at them like, hey, anybody here speak English,
they are going to spit in your food and maybe
your face. My mother in law lives in France, and
whenever I go, Sheldon speaks pretty well, So whenever I go,
I just nod and I think, I don't think, I
don't know I'm talking about I heard. It's okay. As
long as you speak English with a French accent, and

(06:33):
as long as you ask people where they've done mine,
that'll do it. That'll that'll go real well for you.
You see, you know, the only way you're not going
on this trip is based off of the hotel that
you might get put up in a bad hotel, a
two star hotel. You think they're gonna spend all that
money and only put you up in a two star hotel.
That's the thing. They ain't spending any money. It's all
on trade, so it's probably a little ricky dink hotel.
So I'd rather go to You can just go sit

(06:55):
on a beach. It's fine, You've done can koun though
they send you to can't coolin in your inland water.
If I'm gonna do Paris, I'm gonna do it right.
I'm not going to do it with a free trip
that I got from being here for twenty five years.
What if you took that trip and extended it like
you extended it and paid out of your own and
upgraded your hotel. Well, here's the other problem with that

(07:16):
is the trip is only available on weeks that are
not popular weeks. Yeah, it's you can tell. It's a
crafty timber off from the show is a vacation holiday week.
So I can't use that trip then. So it's gonna
have to be one of the things that we're gonna
have to. Let me take a long weekend one time
and I'll be out of here for a day or
two during the week the trip, I'll take the trip.

(07:36):
Come to think of it, Danielle and I all we
had that trip. Now two years we still haven't taken
it because we hope it happened, so, you know, so
we were still owed that. Yeah, I'm definitely taking it.
It's going to be one of those. It would be
one of the first times Sheldon and I go away
without the kids for in a while. We I think
I'm gonna choose Lisbon. The year we had we had Lisbon, Prague,

(07:58):
uh and and Paris and the can you better be careful.
I bet those aren't available anymore because the years have changed.
Yeah then no, I was thinking that, scary. I was
thinking that, I wonder if we're offered the same because
it's maybe it's not available anymore? Is available now still exist? Scary?
There was a coup. They're not allowing any more Americans

(08:19):
in because the people that just got them this past year,
London was on there, and I think I'd like to
try London because I speak the language. There barely years
of service into that now actually today tomorrow tomorrow starts
year here at the station. We we we've been here
that long now. Oh my gosh, I haven't the spency

(08:43):
in my start date. They're trying to rip me off
a year too? Me too? Yeah? Yeah, so so we
deserve that trip to Lisbon? Want, I think? Yeah? But
see here's the problem. It's not their vault if it.
Things have changed and it's not available anymore, And how
is it not available? Because I'm sure that they're not
gonna give you the highest end trip. I mean, you know, Scarry,

(09:04):
tell us three things you know about Lisbon. Um it
is the Lisbon is the closest transcontinental flight you can take.
So you can fly from New York to Lisbon in
five hours, shorter than it takes to get to Vegas
or l A from New York. Fact is it is
the It is the westernmost I think you meant transatlantic
flight trans trans atlantic I'm sorry, Yeah, I'm talking about

(09:29):
from New York from from America to Europe. North America
to Europe. It is the shortest flight of all of
Europe to take. It's short as an Iceland. I thought
Iceland was well, I don't think you're technically crossing the
entire Atlantic now, you're just going up or yeah, it's
a five hour flight. But I looked at this, Okay,
that's one I know that it is. Um it is

(09:51):
it's of Spanish. They speak Spanish there, Portuguese and I
hears one for two know like like. But he's supposed
to go there and learn things about it, right, he
doesn't have to be equipped with all that before he
was probably yeah, but Gandhi, he'll study Spanish phrases for

(10:11):
a month and then go there and they'll be like,
what are you doing? That's not allow it? Allow it.
Anyone here been to Lisbon I hear it. Yeah, Elvis
said it was beautiful. It's on my list. I would
love to go. I've been to Spain half a dozen times,
France a bunch. I still have yet to get to Portugal.
I've been to Barcelona. I've been so I hear Barcelona

(10:33):
and Portugal a lot in common, as far as the
architecture and the way that it's the city is structured.
And I have been to Barcelona and I loved it.
I'm dying to go to Barcelona. Barcelona, you don't actually
is the reason I want to play because of a song.

(10:53):
I thought maybe they filmed the Twilight movie there. It's
crazy they don't you know Barcelona, even though it's located
in Spain. When you go there, they don't like to
associate themselves with the rest of Spain or Madrid, and
that because they say that it's more of a Catalanian
Catalanian Catalan Catalanian descent. They have their own there's different
there's different parts of Spain where they have their own culture,

(11:14):
like the Basque region and things like that, and they don't,
they don't acknowledge like the rest of Spain. I'm like,
what are you talking about. I'm in Spain right now, Like, no,
you're in Barcelona. Well look at look at some love it.
That's like going to Buffalo and saying that you're in
New York. Yeah, you are right though, Like Gandhi people
made such a great point like if you go to

(11:35):
another country, just do yourself a favorite, learn how to
say four things in that language. Especially I don't know
how to speak your language. Do you speak English? Because
I'll tell you American tourists, there's a reason people are
stereotyped as shitty people and as American tourists because they
are like American tourists are fucking awful. I'm sorry, there's

(11:57):
an old joke. You guys can all answer this. Do
you call someone who speaks two languages bilingual? Right? What
do you call someone who speaks three languages? What do
you what do you call someone who speaks one language? American?
There you go. I was actually in France one time
and this woman, this American woman was causing such a
scene because they didn't take American express and so she

(12:21):
in full voice in this fucking crowded place, goes well,
I guess that's that's what they call it, American Express
and that French express, stupid idiot church. For other reasons though,
because we don't we have different traditions and customs. Like
if I'm going to Europe and I'm having breakfast, I

(12:42):
expect eggs and waffles and all kinds of stuff. They
don't do that. They give you a couple of croissants,
maybe a piece of cheese, and then and butter that's
been left on the counter all day. They don't refrigerator.
They're asking about that white In Europe, the elevators are
so small because they're all small people. Yeah, they don't

(13:05):
find expect America in France when you go there, when
you go to the Chance, you have to expect France.
They don't have to go to fat loss scary because
they don't need to lose the fat. I need to fresh.
It's international. They should have an eyehop. No, we in America.
We have found seven ways to fried dough, and it's
just got a different name. The same ship. I mean,

(13:26):
a pancake and a waffle are technically the same thing.
They just made differently, it's all don't we fried oreos here?
It's insane. We put cheese in the crust of pizza
because there's not enough cheese on the rest of it.
Isn't there a sandwich where they have replaced the buns
with just fried chicken. Yes, we are disgusting. You can't

(13:58):
even get your mouth around there, like all the meat.
We there's the restaurant that that makes hamburgers with grilled
cheese sandwiches as the buns. God, how are we allow
Jesus the donuts? There's donuts as buns. Wait, what's the

(14:19):
breakfast sandwich where they put they soak it in syrup
and then they put eggs in the middle of it.
To what it's two pieces pancakes basically soaked in maple
syrup or maple syrup. Like, so, breakfast is a complaint,
a real complaint for you know, if you're for I'm

(14:41):
like wants to eat here in the morning. But here's
the thing. You have to you have to figure out
how to eat like they You can't just spect to
eat bry something new, right, something new always just in
every country. It's not gonna happen. Just give the man
a drive through, all right, that's what he wanted. Can
I get a croissant monster styled my giant diet Coke.

(15:03):
One of the things about the UK to me is
the breakfast they have, like this certain sausage and the beans.
I'm not a fan of breakfast. Breakfast, Yes, I like
it because I've never understood the breakfast right. Yeah, we

(15:23):
eat straight sugar like all that stuff behind, Scotty be
all of that will kill you? Iffast in there. Yeah.
My mother in law makes this thing called a bacon sawny.
And what it is is it's a piece of like
you know, HOGI right, bread smothered in butter with an

(15:44):
egg and fried bacon on it. It's so bad, but
it's so good. It's blood sausage on the side. I
can't eat it because of the name. Why blood sausage?
Blood sausage? Yeah, can't? You can't drink blood orange pass out.
Scotty was frozen for a second, Scott, what are your
thoughts on sperm whales? All right, on that note, let's

(16:07):
move on. We're way over in case you're way the way.
Can I just say this thing is the best thing.
These truffles, they melt in your mouth. They're insane. Put
in your mouth. Maybe not the best, all right, and
