I ruined it.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
You act like a brat and you're you're a big
baby about it. And instead of having a positive attitude
of like, oh maybe this is something I will like,
you immediately, you know, put a put a damper on things.

That's the hope.

That's why you got them. Welcome real life, Debbie Downer. Okay, exactly,
yes you are, yes, you are all right. So what
happens is we have a wheel, we spin it whatever food.
It's sort of almost like a dish, you know, we
want sky to try whatever it lands on. Most of
the time, Skuy's never even tried it before. So that's

(01:15):
the annoying part is that you won't even you know,
try things.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well, if at the base of it is something I hate,
why would I try?

Speaker 5 (01:21):
Then she eat cheese? It's an avocados.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Sky came thought, came to the realization of like, Skuy
will eat weird things.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, but like how disgusting.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
But if it's avocados, if it's two things I like
avocados and cheese it then why do you like bananas
and chili?

Speaker 6 (01:40):
I like vanilla ice cream and salmon? Yeah, I like together.
I don't an avocado to go together.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Have you ever had it? Debbie Downer? Have you tried it?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Between me and I would try it. I wouldn't cry
about it.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
I try it.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
I just cry after you cry.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Before and after all I well up before, but then
I actually cry.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well, here's the deal is that we spin a wheel.
Whatever thing it lands on, Sky is going to try. Okay,
you don't see this is.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
What I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I just don't like you. Oh my god, see what
I mean? Such a spin the wheel. Let's see what
Sky is going to eat this week? Oh okay, I
actually have no idea if you're gonna like this or not.

(02:32):
I don't. I don't know. It's something. I'll be honest
with you. I don't think I've ever even tried before.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
That makes me so.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's it's a it's a healthy thing. That's why you
might like it. You are going to be eating spaghetti squash.
Spaghetti squash basically noodles that is made.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Out of basically noodles.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well, that's what the thought process is. Instead of eating noodles,
you're eating squash.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
How your replacement you need to go?

Speaker 5 (03:03):
You do like those?

Speaker 6 (03:04):
Uh, let's write clesterol numbers through the room. I heard,
I heard some blood was drawn and they're not coming down.
Could they even get the blood?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Okay, it's better than the other day. You were having
prinkles in avocado.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
And taco bell. Does your doctor know about the taco bell?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yes, okay, it was taco bell thirst.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
What is your what is your thoughts on spaghetti squash?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Spaghetti squash makes me think of my mom.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
My mom went through she's she's kind of petite.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Uh So, my mom growing up went through a weight
watcher's face and that is when she tried to convince
the family one night that spaghetti squash is just like
spaghetti was it? That was the first and last time
I ever tried spaghetti squash?

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Want to say, I was maybe twelve.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
This is a staple, twelve. This is a staple in
Emily's diet. Emily will go spaghetti squash often.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
Emily, I do it once a week to that Sky
Diskuy's credit. Emily doesn't like good food.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
It's not true. I'm a massive food You're a very
healthy dinner eater.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, there's two sides to it.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
You like fart eggs, you like turkey, meat loaf, like
spaghetti squash.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
So those are all healthy items she trained herself.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
To like healthy fair spaghetti swash doesn't really have much
of a taste flavor.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
It's like land. That's why I feel like it's a
great substitution because I make like a make a party
like bowlonnaise sauce like it just it's just a vehicle
to eat the sauce, you know what I mean, Thank
you very much.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I am not a fan of pumpkin. I don't think
I'm a fan of any sort of gourd in general.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
So you don't need just like roasted zucchini or anything
like that.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Not a zucchini fan.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
I went through a slight zucchini pace, but then I
got over it real squash.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
No, No, it's gross.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
There was a time when my kids were little. They
hate zucchini, so I would like grate it and then
put it into sauces so that they would have to
ingest it. Yeah, it's a good way to get in.
And this is what you're gonna have to do with
Sky like a child.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Like you have to hide the veggies pretty much.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
All right, Scott, get ready to dig in.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
It's already stringy in my mouth.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Stringy.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's like spaghetti, I do, but this is this isn't spaghetti.
Oh it's and it's stringy, and the texture is like
creepy and gross, creepy and gross.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
A bite to it. There's a bit of a crunch
bite to it.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Did you undercook it?

Speaker 4 (05:48):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
And they're supposed to be a bite to it.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I don't think it needs to be mushy. You don't
want it to be mushy.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
I don't like it to be mushy. And it's like
it's like mushy.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well then your mom was making it bad. Whoa, But
I mean that's that's a fact.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Hopefully she cooks better for new dad, you know, but
she wants to keep him.

Speaker 1 (06:08):

she doesn't It looks with just.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Some like a little bit of marinera.

Speaker 1 (06:18):

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Basic way to eat it.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I don't understand what your issue.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I don't know. It's it's very pungenty.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
It smells good in here, actually smelling garlicy, a lot
of garlic. You don't like that. You should like that.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I like. I like garlic, well, a medium amount of garlic,
you know, I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I don't want too much flavor. I don't want to
much flavor.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
I don't want too much garlic.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
But yeah, anybody who would present this to me and
try and pretend like it's spaghetti is like, listen.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
We're not morons. I think people recognize I'm not eating spaghetti,
but I'm eating a healthy alternative to spaghetti.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
Like eating a portobella mushroom burger. You know it's not
a no, it's not. Or a veggie birder, yeah, same
thing you're or turkey burger or turkey meat loaves. Yeah,
you know, you know it's not good. I think I'm
eating a shoe you know it has no taste.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Fun fact about sky. I'm a light pasta sauce.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
Scal too much pasta.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
So if you give me a plate of spaghetti, I'm
gonna put probably a tablespoon.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Legit human being I've ever met.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
That's why her daughter doesn't delicious a little bit?

Speaker 3 (10:27):

I'd like.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Emily was right.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I was expecting like baby food mush. There was a
little bunch left to it. But that doesn't mean I
liked it, nor would I ever.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Can you give me a new fork? I don't think
I've ever even tried spaghetti squash before. Look at look
at how a normal person is. Remember though, I know,
