pantry just throwing out a bunch ofstuff like I don't need this canned corn

the day after no, no,no, just kidding. Nineteen forty four
would have been the day after DDay. But at forty one, that's
just a random day. And I'msure something happened somewhere. Yeah, I
mean, World War two is happening. The United States wasn't a part of
it yet, but it was happening. Yeah, And if US wasn't involved
in it really happened, does itreally matter? Um? That's from that

(05:23):
back nuts. Okay, billies babyback nuts. Oh wal nuts. That
was the original jingle. Now Chilistole the jingle and made it about ribs.
They're terrible ribs. But Billy Backwas a very famous walnut farmer in
the late nineteen sixties and he puthis commercials on TV for people to buy

(05:46):
his walnuts, and that was theoriginal commercial. I want my billy Bat,
Billy Bat, Billy Back, Iwant my Billy back. It was
a whole thing. Um. Heran out of money on the commercials,
lost the copyright to the Ginger.Initially, though you were singing baby back,
I was maybe the only one youwould have heard of his baby back.
That's why I was singing baby backinitially. But then I did and

(06:08):
I actually knew, which is crazy. Okay, Um, Walnut day,
everybody back to you. Um thewalnut marketing Board, which I mean,
dude, you don't want to wantan I don't want to get on their
bad No, no, no no. Um. They established a national walm
that day in the nineteen fifties,a sentence resolution proposed by William F.

(06:31):
Noland. Who's William F. Noland? No, you don't knew the Nolans.
No man, your loss led anofficial proclamation by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower declaring National Walnut Day in nineteenfifty eight. The holiday has been celebrated
on May seventeenth ever since. So, for reasons unknown, the Walmut marketing

(06:55):
brand seems to have a stronghold onthis day, on not just this day,
just uh. It's hard to geta president to be like this is
a good day. But for reasonsunknown, Eisenhower said, yes, National
Walnut Day. He was a friendof Billy back. The Walnut Marketing Board
I think has more moving. They'rethe next n they're moving. The NRAA

(08:48):
butter and jelly, peanut letter andjelle. I like a peanut butter and
jelly at lunch. Sometimes I'll maybebe real with peanut butter and jelly.
If I go home and I'm notfeeling any of the leftovers, I'll get
myself some peanut butter and jelly withsome salt and vinnies on the side.
There's the sweetness of the peanut butterand jelly with a contrast of the stripes

(09:11):
on the side. Is a delightfulconsumption. You know, you gave me
a hard time for combining sweet andsalt sour yesterday, but now you're on
board. No, there's a bigdifference between sweets and salty and sweet soul.
You were eating chocolate and then youtransition to sour Oreo cookies forty minutes

what the big deal. We wereon that zoom for forty minutes. I
ate the cookies before the zoom,well before the zoom, and well before
the zoom, and then I atethe sours during the zoom. So maybe

case may be, I'm not peanutbutter and jelly guy. I like peanut
butter and almost anything else. Iwas at a restaurant last week and had
a peanut butter pie with an oreocrust, and it was delightful. I
