Number one, where's your go to snack food?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Go to snack food? Let's see. I like I like
kind of like a vegan. It's a protein bar that's
like double chocolate brownie.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
I think it's.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Kind as the brand that I keep those stocked in
the pantry. Those are my thing protein. They don't taste
like you're eating healthy. That's that's my thing. So yeah,
trick myself.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
There were two. Yeah, where's the most unusual place you
have been?

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Most unusual place I've been? Oh man, let's see, that's
a tough one. Unusual, I would say, well, probably I
went down to Key West with with my my family,
and that was. That was a different vibe down there.
It definitely was. It was really fun, but it felt

(01:43):
like kind of this clemingling of like lots of things
and you had the beach and you just had lots
of people and different businesses and stuff like that, and
just kind of the feeling of being there that was.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
That was.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, it felt old and new at the same time.
And yeah, yeah, so that was that was probably was
one of them. In New Orleans is the other place.
And then that's that's got a real different feeling to
it too. So yeah, those two places for sure.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Joey's being very PG. Thirteen. I love it. Those two
places are rare at Palms Poems brings there. They're there.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
You have to go to experience them, like you can
just bribe it, but like you have to be there.
And when I would, I've been to QS many times,
and so I've been a lot of the Keys and
they're all they're all very different when you go down
that seven mile bridge and you go through the things.
But Key West is funny because Key West. Have you
been to Heavingway House?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
I walked by there, Yes, yeah, I didn't go in,
but I did the.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Car and all the cats are like from his time period.
They catch descendants from the time period. And the banana tree, like,
here's this famous writer one of his homes and you're there,
and there right outside could be a drag bar for
you know, gay folks, or or Margaritaville, like there's you know,
it's it's it's completely like five different.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's kind of the.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Caribbean but also very flow but also it's very it's
it's it's a whole other world.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
And his rooster's walking down the street. It's a whole
of the world. Yep, yep, that's exactly it. Yeah, good answer,
good answer. There were three yourself. Who's one of your
favorite writers?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
H Stephen King? Yeah, yeah, he's he's uh, he's my favorite.
He's been my favorite my whole life. I started reading
him way too early, probably when I was ten or
eleven years old. And yeah, but no, he's he's been
there pretty much my whole life, and and you know,
he just keeps, he keeps raising the bar. So he's

(03:38):
he's the one I go to. I have lots of others,
but he's he's my standby for sure.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Here's a good one. There are four.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
You're on a road trip, so again you're going to us.
You're on a float road trip. Musical artist has to
be on the playlist.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Oh let's see you're be popping along and driving down
the highway.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
You're like, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna say Gregory Allen Isaacob.
So he if you don't know him, he's kind of
a folk, a little bit of country, most mostly folk
that I discovered here a few years ago. He's been

(04:17):
around a long time.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
But his music.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Music is just incredible. It's got that very much like
open road, you're going somewhere, you get some nostalgia with it.
Very feels very big sometimes his music. So like when
we get out in those open spaces on a road
trip and you're just taking in the site. That's kind
of how his music feels sometimes. So yeah, i'd have

(04:40):
bad him. That's he'd be on the rotation for sure.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I'm doing I'm doing a four B because it's my
shock do or one my four b is gonna be.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I saw you a tattoo? Is that a puzzle piece?
It is?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yes, yeah, I love Yeah that means so that's for
my son. He's autistic. And yeah, so he's he's autistic.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
So I got that quite a while ago.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
You know, there's there's been a little controversy back and
forth in the autistic community about you know, the puzzle
piece and things like that, and I just I got it.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
You know.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
My thing with that is is all people are unique,
and especially autistic people are so unique. Puzzle pieces aren't
necessarily something to be solved. I don't. I don't think
about it that way. I think about the uniqueness of it.
So each puzzle piece is so different and unique. So yeah,
that's why I got.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
It like that. Okay. The last question is the question
I ask everybody. You have to pick one or the other.
There's no tie, there's no whatever, it's one of the other. Joe, Okay.
The question is it's the most important question on my
laughing already, Joe Hart, Apples are oranges? Man? Like? What

(05:59):
of all the questions?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
That's of all the questions.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
But you left it. Yeah, you left the toughest one
to the end.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
You know, I am gonna have to go with apples,
just because they are so diverse. You can do so
many different things with them. You can you can use
them in so many different ways, and I feel like
they have a little bit more usability or versatility than
the orange. That's what I'm gonna say. Yeah, yeah, very good.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
