H Chaco lit Greater's ice Cream releasing a new bonus flavor,
as they're calling it. So they released Chocolate Raspberry Truffle.
It's the sixth bonus flavor of the year, and it
has chocolate ice cream with a raspberry swirl, chunks of

(00:21):
chocolate truffles, and it's truly an indulgent experience.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
They go on to kind of describe it as some.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Of the other ones that they released. I was like,
what the peanut butter brittle that was earlier this year
in May. It's butterscotch bass prelean peanuts in it. Later
that month in May, they released the second bonus flavor,
Hawaiian Wedding Cake. No, No, coconut flakes with tiny pineapple

(00:52):
and tangy but No. Then there was a third bonus flavor,
Strawberry Lime Fiesta.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
No, I'm not feeling that either.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Then there was a fourth bonus flavor, but I end
up pudding really a no for me, you.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Know how, you know I would be all over trying not.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And then there was a fifth bonus flavor, Orange sorbet
released last.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Doesn't do much for me. Doesn't do anything for me.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Sherbert or sorbet we called it Sherbert for whatever reason,
because I guess we were just bumpkin hillbillies.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
And my mccunty Ohio.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well, I mean I've heard it called both, and I'm
I don't know whatever with either.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I don't you know what it is? What it is?
You know you want to pronounce that? Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Great tomato potato potato?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, anyway, the latest one I would possibly, you know what,
I'm not a fan of mixing for the most part,
mixing fruit as part of a dessert, I feel almost
like I love fruit.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
You and I talk about this all the time.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
As a matter of fact, do you an awake in
one eighty really woke up my love for fruit.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
I've never been more addicted to apples and oranges and
bananas and strawberries and.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Pine apple for me, yeah, uh, you know, and Kiwi.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
I love all of that stuff. I had some great
watermelon a couple of weeks ago. My mother in laws
like great, like just you pop it in your mouth
and just starts dissolving on your tongue kind of watermelon. Go.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
But then I'm not I'm not as big of a
fan when you start mixing that into like desserts and
stuff for whatever reason. Well, apple pie is awesome, right,
I mean that's not that's not really a thing for me.
There's been a handful pie. Yeah, but just I don't
if the apples are really really, really really tender. Like,

(02:57):
I don't like a lot of resistance when I'm biting.
I don't know what it is. I can't explain it.
I just that's how I feel about women.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
You don't like a lot of recess. I don't like
a lot of resistance. I like my apple pie, like
my women, not a lot of resists, not a.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Lot of it's in the middle.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
It's nice, oist, flaky, and a lot of flaky. Women
can be a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I like them with dad issues, not a lot of
resistance and full of goo.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Flaky, flaky and full of goo.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna leave the coffee one alone.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Long time w t V. Yeah, don't do it, don't
say it. I know exactly where that's going.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Hey, uh, this hat that that Indiana Jones war, that
Harrison Ford war in the Indiana Jones.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
How do you know? Because it sells for big money.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
And yeah, they got these you know, whatever, these things
that verify you know, you can tell that, but but
how do you really really honestly? And that's see what
this job is, this radio show.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
See what it's done to me.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I don't trust anything now ever, anything in my life.
You know, it's like everything, I'm questioning everything. Yeah, I
like that bumper sticker, question everything. But it's supposedly supposedly
it is the actual hat worn by Harrison Ford and
Indiana Jones and the Temple at Doom. And it's the

(04:37):
felt Fidora and it hit the auction block in Los Angeles.
It went for six hundred and thirty grand three, almost
three quarters of a million.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Dollars for this hat.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
And yeah, I just I wonder how many of those
hats there are, you know, throughout that series, how many
he had to use. Some I'm sure maybe were lost.
I don't know. I just that kind of stuff. Also,
this is another one of those things that kind of
fascinates me. When this movie memorabilia, remember remember it was

(05:11):
Princess Leah Carrie Fisher her bikini, remember that when that
when we were kind of talking about that not too
long ago.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Stuff like that Always just I just think it's cool.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I love when you go into any of the hard rocks,
like the one in Cincinnati, the casino down there, it's
they have Eddie van Halen's Porsche.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's a nine to eleven. It's literally on display in there.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I just think it's roped off and it's like all
this kind of cool little signage around it, little stuff
about he was in it when he did this, or
he did that. And then there's this stuff that is
against the walls, like you know, Prince's guitar from Purple Rain,
just stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm fascinated by all that stuff. I don't know is
that you've not a big deal.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
I one of the things I got lost. When I
didn't get lost, I got lost in I was in
this particular room for well over an hour plus at
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yes, and what
they have on the walls were actual.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Hunter S.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Thompson original uh. Some of them handwritten, a lot of
them typed with his handwritten, most of them type actually
with his handwritten notes.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
From Rolling Stone and all the.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I found that so fascinating because it's like, oh, that's
where this story comes from, you know, just because Hunter S.
Thompson's you know, one of my favorite writers of all time.
I loved his attitude, I loved his perspective. Here's a guy,
here's a guy who basically believed in true libertarianism, you know,

(06:53):
live free, live for you or die, And uh, it
was so cool to watch his creative process come about.
And also know he was probably drunk and on cocaine
while he was doing it, which is even more impressive.
It actually makes me respect him more that he was
that good when he was all hammered. Right, But what

(07:14):
is it, by the way, with writers, authors and alcohol
Have you ever noticed the best, some of the greatest
writers of all time, they all share Mollington common they
were tortured alcoholics.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Does it tap into the dark truth with you know?
Because when you're talking about I don't know if it's
exactly the same as comedians, for instance, who funny people
all of that the funny comes out of all this torture,
all this horrible areas that somehow the funny comes out.

(07:46):
I almost feel like that what you just kind of described,
it taps into the deep truth that's in them and
then when it comes out when they start writing. Not
everybody has the ability to do that, but I feel
like that's part of the nucleus of that whole situation.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Well, I know a lot of people who feel way
more creative and funny and informative when they are partake
when they.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Partake when bands, same way with bands when they right. Yeah,
alcohol people who did.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
This, uh decoration of independence and that's asisition or uh
good people is that.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I was just thinking that was okay.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
He also used to shoot guns like him and him
and his neighbor would literally shoot at each other, Like
on his ranch, they hit. His neighbor had an abutment ranch.
They didn't get along. The neighbor hated Hunter, and and
sometimes they would literally just shoot at each other. I mean,
it's why I just that life fear and loathing in

(08:49):
Las Vegas. That's absolutely accurate as that movie was with
Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro. Dude, Hunter s Thompson
believed in alt him in freedom in every way. Now,
there are some things that you know, I think he
went too far on.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'm not saying.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
I want to be him, but it's fascinating by him.
I'm fascinated by him and a certain level of torture
genius he had.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
I mean, this guy.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
You know how he in his will, he had it
legally binding and him and Johnny Depp became best friends
with Hunter Thompson at the end of his life. But
one day Hunter just said, you know what I don't
when I'm sucking of all this, just put a Bullm'll.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Be over with.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Well he did, like fifteen years ago. He put a
bullet in his head. He went out his way because
he was getting sick. He had some disease, and they
fired his ashes out of a cannon on his ranch,
and Johnny Depp made sure that that legally happened. Yeah,
that was his last wish to be cremated and have
his ashes shot out of a cannon. Dude, how not

(10:00):
be fascinated by people like that?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, that's I mean, okay, I know what you're saying
with regard to that. Yeah, it is uh. And you
were reading so go back to the beginning of that.
You were reading his notes that were around something that you.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
There's a room in the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame dedicated to Rolling Stone magazine and hey, yeah he was.
He was.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
That's how Hunter S.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Thompson became known as the greatest gonzo journalist and author
of all time was. He would go on assignment for
Rolling Stone and cover all these crazy aspects of light.
That's how he made his money. So you were in
there for like an hour and a half just reading
everything word by word, line by lime.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Watching this stuff.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
It was just it was just like his mind was
on display to see travagant
