Episode Transcript

(00:20):
Well hide there. Welcome to ourlittle corner of the world here at the
Lunch Break podcast hucked over here atKing's Chapel, oh nestled in the Glenmont
borrow. It's not a burrow,it's a hamlet. Actually, isn't a
hamlet? To be precise, Idon't I if I'm being perfectly honest,

(00:40):
and I think everyone is aware ofwhat I'm gonna say. I have no
idea what the difference is. No, we got's not it's not a shire,
it's a hamlet shire Shire. Uh, it's you know, I don't
know the difference between a town,village, hamlet, burrow. I don't
know. I have no idea.Just all different names for the same things

(01:02):
and another another thing to take yourtaxes. Yeah, that's true. That's
what it comes down to, justa collection of people in a specific location
that are taxable. Yeah. Sohere's what I'm gonna need you to do,
because so on my chairs, allthe way race, get out of

(01:22):
here. That's all the way up, all the way race. Can you
lower your all? I can't.Oh you got the architect chair. This
is a drafting chair. I yeah, drafting. So it's just one of
those things. I can't raise it, and I don't understand why. Well,
no, I do understand why Ican't lower, but higher, that's
all. But you, so that'sas high as yours goes? Are you
saying that I need to get aI just feel very I'm already taller than

(01:47):
you. I had a phone bookhere so I could sit up here,
a little a little kid cardboard boxover there in the hobbit. No,
it's cool. Then it's fine.It's fine on here. It doesn't look
weird. Yeah, no, itlooks fine. So I should as long
as I'm within shot? Am Iin the shot? I'm I'm falling away.
I gotta get I think here.Just just go this way, this
way, a little bit further,a little perfect perfect. Where did I

(02:10):
go? Oh man, I'll beover here? Eat n ice cream?
People? Who is that what you'redoing over there? Little ice cream cream?
You know? Offee? I'm reallyjust drinking coffee this time. I
act like you just spoiled something.But anyone listening to this has seen the
title, which will inevitably say icecream, Yeah, ice cream ruin the

(02:32):
object of the conversation. Titles ruinthe object. Yeah, I heard in
my head. I heard ice creamruin the object. No no, no,
no titles titles like I know Iprocess that incorrectly, does not compute.
You need to drinking a little bitof sim Definitely, I'm a little
thrown off. I've shifted my scheduleto now work out entirely too early.

(02:58):
Yeah five am? So no,yeah, so the one from six start
time is five means awake time isfour am. It's sound acceptable four am,
just to give myself time to beawake enough to actually work out.
It's it's smart that you do that. I just I have to applaud your
effort because I could not raise myselfout of bed at four o'clock in the

(03:21):
morning. I just don't know ifsmart is the right word. It doesn't
feel smart at the time. No, no, I know what you mean.
Doesn't feel it. It's smart andthat you need to have time to
wake up. But yeah, you'renot obviously smart at four am. It's
probably what I'm saying, is Iknow what you mean? No, But

(03:44):
I'm just saying, let me explainit to you, very slowly. Explain
to me like I'm five. Idon't even explain it to my five year
old because she's still she's still sleeping. If she has sound asleep, she
should be as everybody should be.Yeah, so now it helps helps our
morning schedule. I think, umat least gives me an extra hour to

(04:08):
help if needed or whatnot. Soanyway, yeah, as you mentioned earlier,
ice cream, Yeah, is itthat season. It's the topic of
conversation. It is the ice creamseason. No, I don't I don't
know that I ever draw a lineon ice cream. I think it'll be
more of a seasonal thing back inback in the day, you know.

(04:30):
I know that a lot of peoplehave a different idea as to when it
back in the day was. Butprobably when before I was, when like
my parents, my grandparents, Imean probably it was then a more seasonal
treat, right because he didn't getit all year long. Well, back
then people baked more, I feellike, and so they would make a
fitting hot pie or something in thewinter that would be a more fitting winter

(04:55):
thing. But now we're going tothe grocery store anyway to buy I mean
not there are people who bake.Yeah, but you can just go buy
this or that. Yeah that's someice cream. Yeah, Well, your
house is heated, it's not likeyou're cold house. That's true. I
can't be any colder, Like everything'stemperature control. Yeah, I'm drinking hot
coffee on like a ninety degree day. Yeah, and sometimes you know,

(05:16):
putting a sweater on and right heroffice is here, which we shouldn't really
complain about because we'll never keep fromin the muggy time of year. But
yeah, it's just funny how thatis. But yeah, like I said,
you know, our our forefathers wouldwould have a very different understanding for
fathers and mothers. Say, wouldyou say four fathers? Like I'm automatically

(05:39):
up, like Benjamin Franco, I'mlike, I don't know if he was
eating the ice cream, and probablynot. I don't even think they had
the ice box back then, That'swhat I mean. Like, Yeah,
there's there's times where maybe or maybeyou had a small ice box when my
grandparents were around, and so youdidn't have room for such frivol rivals.
You can't have multiple half gallons inyour fridge with an assortment with all different

(06:03):
flavors and whatever for whatever mood you'rein that that particular evening. We are
spoiled people. I don't think Igrew up with with um. Well,
I mean, I obviously grew upwith ice cream, But what I mean
is I don't think we grew upwith ice cream as being a regular occurrence.
It was a very special thing.I know that. Like my wife,
for instance, she grew up inher household and they had ice cream

(06:23):
all the time. It was likeevery every evening you had dessert, and
ice cream was there as as asan option. I didn't. I didn't
even have I don't think I evenhad dessert on a regular basis. Maybe
a couple of times a week,but it wasn't like every single night you're
like, okay, I'm having themy nightly ice cream utine. No,
we definitely didn't have a regular dessert. And I think having ice cream in

(06:46):
the house was also I think that, yeah, that was a rare,
special thing. It wasn't always inthe freezer. Yeah it wasn't for me.
Yeah, yeah, I don't.I don't believe it was. But
the real tree with ice cream wasalways going to eat it at place,
that's true, like going somewhere outlike getting it, even if it was
Stuarts, and that's what we wouldhave our half gallons in. But to

(07:06):
go to Stuarts and get a Sundaywhen I could like actually play the toppings
on it, like that was athing and that was good. That was
really cool. I still like that. Yeah, we just went for we
went for ice cream last night,but we didn't really go for ice cream.
We ended up going to I wastelling you about this yesterday place UM
called Franks, and they had theyhad a thing called a gelatti, which

(07:29):
UM mimics, well doesn't mimic.I don't know. I don't know where
it was formulated, so I don'tknow the history of it. But I
do know that in college, yeah, based on the name, and it's
made with Italian ice and ice cream, so yes, it's Italian. But
I don't know exactly out or whenor who started it. But um,

(07:50):
in college, there's a place calledRita's down in Pennsylvania. It's all over
the place. Uh, and that'sItalian water ice and they would have it.
I think they called it gelato,but that is definitely a different thing
than ice cream. It's its ownthing. Maybe they called it gelatti,
I don't know, Um, butyou get their ice mixed with the and
have like layers of ice cream ontop end on the bottom with the Italian

(08:13):
ice in between. So you havelike, that's that's what I am just
soft serve. I'm trying to understandbecause it's it's completely out of my I
no, no understanding of I meangelato obviously, which is very much like
ice cream but creamier. It's alittle bit different, but Gelatti being different.
It's you said that there doesn't havegelattoes at least here it has ice
cream, a layer of ice creamthe bottom, yeah, I'm saying,

(08:35):
and then it has Italian ice inthe middle. But it's a very soft
soft It's not like what we thinkof when you go to the grocery store
and you get No, I'm talkingabout the real attack, because when you
go out and get it, youcan actually just reasonably put it in a
spoon and eat it. Yes,So you have that as the middle layer.
Yes, and then you have asecond level of ice cream. And
now are those are either the sandwichconcept? Are both sides of that of

(08:58):
the the italianis the same? Yeah? It maybe people change it up so
you can have chocolate on the bottomand the like vanilla. On topic,
I don't know. I am notnearly enough of a connoisseur to answer that.
All I know is I used toget this thing for four years,

(09:20):
yeah, and I liked it.And then I moved back up here,
which is a desolate wasteland just thingsthat I like, Like, it's absent
of things I want, um slowlygetting them. The Chick fil A's up
here now, which now, atthis point, I've had it so many
times traveling to Pennsylvania that I don'tactually care. Yeah, but it needs

(09:43):
ritos and it needs wah WA's wah. That's what this forsaken place needs.
Because this is just a side trackhere for you local folks. Cumberland Farms
and Stewarts and any other gas stationjust doesn't have good food, not the
same way that a wallah was.And I can't I don't have any.
I don't have any. I can'tweigh in on that with a wallah.

(10:05):
But I mean, I grew upwith seven elevens and they didn't have them
up here either. You got rollerstuff just like Cumberland Farms, right,
And it was very much like that, like Humberland Farms. So the only
thing I had differently was it hada cool slur had slurpiece slurpies are good,
which they don't really have here,although they now had the farms kind
of now they they have the frozenone now, Yeah, I grew always
have it. This is I mean, I know this weird, just sidetracked

(10:26):
from the start, but I grewup on slush puppies. Oh slush yeah,
yeah they had that, and that'shonest favorite slush puppy. My problem
is you finished the flavor way beforeyou finished the ice. Yeah. And
on a slushy or slurpee, yeah, you finish it all at the same
time. Yeah, it's they allkind of soft enough together they get up
the straw. But with the slushpuppy. I never grew up getting brain

(10:48):
freeze. Oh with a slurpie though, that don't hit me fast. Yeah,
anyway, I feel like I've takenus far off. No, no,
anyway, So ice cream, icecreams, So these are all refreshing
things you're talking about for the mostpart. It's true that time of year,
thank you. Yeah, saved methere. Um. So what we're
gonna do is we're gonna go aboutthis the same way that we did cookies,

(11:11):
which was a nice topic of conversationamongst people yep. Uh, there's
a little different than what we didwith pies. I think pies we collected
other people's thoughts and then just gaveour favorites. But we're going back to
the way going to a website thathas a list. I use today dot
Com. Today's Popular ye Show onthe NBC network has a list of thirty

(11:35):
two. We're obviously not going throughall of them because brevity is not our
strong suit. But we will scrollthrough, we will talk about it,
and we'll really hunker down in thetop ten. Yeah, but we'll look.
We'll just breeze through. We'll tossit on the screen for you to
see. Here, I'll go toit right now. We'll give our impressions
as necessary. Yeah, I mayjust say oneting necessary. We'll give our

(11:58):
impressions as as we feel. Ifyou are here listening, you have deemed
our impressions necessary for your life,for your entertainment entertainment value. We thank
you for the ten dollars we've madeover three years. Anyway, so ice
cream, which means we need togo to an ad real quick. You
can. Today's episodes brought to youby Tortex Dune Lops flagship guitar pick tortex,

(12:24):
strumming your guitar with tortex. Allright, um, all right.
So this is thirty one by byHeather Martin, So hold her accountable August
seventeen, twenty twenty two, abouta year ago. Okay, okay,
so let me read this kind Sohere we go at number thirty one,
we have a bubble gum slash justgoing to keep going exists. I Uh,

(12:46):
there was a time when I probablywould have appreciated that I'm shocked at
number thirties needs but that everybody hadthat in their house growing up, because
you're trying to please everybody are andit pleased nobody exactly. Well, I
was like the strawberry when a lotof people didn't so see what they go
back up there though look at theimage they are like where of the bowl
next to it? Where it actuallyhas it. You always get that situation

(13:07):
happening where you get a little bitof everything, or maybe if you want
just the middle layer there or theother two layers, you end up with
a little bit of chocolate on it, which chocolate overtakes any other flavor.
So I used to hate getting chocolateon it if I didn't want chocolate right,
So anyway, you know, Ilike your Politan, but I like
Neopolitan on astronaut ice cream. Ohyou know it was a little dry.

(13:31):
Yeah, I had it bricks oncewhen I was like a kid, because
we were we grew up. Igrew up in or Lando, so would
go to the Kennedy Space Center andthat was our big things, like this
is what astronauts eat, and we'relike, oh, you cant astronaut ice
cream? Like I don't think theyactually eat that. I don't know.
I would need to find out.I never had that. Pretty cool.
Birthday cake is sad that it's thislow, but I understand. I particularly

(13:52):
like birthday cake. What's up withthe birthday cake everything? Now? It's
too much birthday cake? Yeah,I agree, it's over. I'm overwhelmed
by the buy it and I'm nota big fan of it. It belongs
just in birthday time, like birthdaycake ice creams. But I don't think
it needs to be this low onthe list. Cherry can sit where it

(14:13):
is rum raising and I feel likeyou have to be a certain age to
appreciate you. I won't say whatthat age is, but all you all
are thinking the same people who I'mnot gonna say that. I was gonna
say the same people who have butterscotchcandy sitting around. But I also like
butterscotch, so I don't have thecookie though at twenty six is absolutely outrage.

(14:37):
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. That should be high. That's
got to be at least if it'snot top ten, it's top fifteen.
I don't think I had that untilI was an adult. Key Lime should
be thirty one because it's much thatlike a key lime pie. I've never
had key lime ice cream. Yeah, either, And you know it all
doesn't It just blurs a distinction betweensome of the other flavors that have green,

(14:58):
like just just you know what keepgreen alone? Sherbet. Yes,
I slurred that on purpose because Ididn't want to permit to sherbet or sherbert.
Yeah, cinnamon is a flavor.Cinnamon. I've never heard of a
ice cream. The fact that birthdaycake is sitting below cinnamon and key lime
and cherry, oh no, maybeit's after cherry. I forgot it's a

(15:20):
lemon ice cream. And maybe Idon't know what should be a sherbet That
shouldn't be an ice cream. Yeah, Macha Green tea ice cream. Can't
comment on that one. Who've everhad it before? It's pretentious, that's
all it is. Yeah, andyou only get a little bit. Apparently
a little a little goes a longway. I mean, I guess if
you're super into tease. Uh,we have a tea shop right next to
our house. I bet you they'vedone stuff with Mata ice cream. They

(15:43):
are not pretentious. So I don'twant to actually own that statement anymore because
they ask people on the planet,So I they are not pretentious. But
strawberry strawberry at twenty should be higher. It's a state. But Neo Politan
was that thirty of thirty one.So peanut butter cup isn't a twenty now,

(16:04):
well, I think it should be. I don't like peanut butter cup.
I mean, I don't dislike it, but it's not one I would
go for. I wouldn't reach forthat as an option, but it definitely
believed. I would say, atleast it belongs on top twenty though it's
it's in the top twenty. Isthis this is a chocolate ice cream with
peanut butter in it? I'm assumingyeah, because like there are a slew

(16:26):
of different peanut butter based ice creams, like you have the Moose Tracks ice
cream, which I think is betterthan a chocolate ice cream with peanut butter.
Added, I'd rather have the vanillabased the chocolate and the cups with
the with the peanut butter. Yeah, I think that's I agree with that.
Almost said pepperoni peach ice cream?Peach ice cream? What do you
doing at number nine? That's strange? Huh okay, I mean I like

(16:49):
peach. I'm actually I would trythat if I saw that anywhere, but
I don't. I don't see thatas a typical offering today. Dot com
is lego places. They're out oftheir minds um okay. The best version
has chunks of right peaches with faintpink tinge with the stone inside. Used
to be the stone, right,that's what they call a pitt called the

(17:12):
stone, but they all called itstone fruits. I found that out.
I did not know that. Ithink Katie called them a stone fruit.
Oh yeah, learn We learned thingshere too. What is chocolate Sunday Swirl?
That's an ice cream. That's avanilla ice cream with chocolate syruh.
Pianet that's all it is. Thisis flavors. It's soft serve, which

(17:33):
is its own thing. Yeah,um, which is not a long list.
It's vanilla, chocolate or twist.It's a Sunday. That's Sunday.
I didn't know this was ice creamof an ice cream is on its own.
I'm just gonna keep going. That'sciz are So I'm sorry. A
chocolate Sunday swirl. That a flavor. That's that a flavor. That's a

(17:56):
meal, that's you've had multiple ingredientsin order to to you have to take
Yeah, you take Sunday is athing you do with the ice cream.
It's not a flavor, right,it's not a flavor of its own.
Oh my, can't starts and getget a half gallon of this Sunday.
This one goes out to the TodayShow. This goes out to what's your

(18:19):
name? Um, yeah, I'mcommitting to this fully by scrolling up a
very zoomed in screen here, Um, excuse me, Heather Martin, what
you just said is one of themost insanely idiotic things I've ever heard.
At no point in your rambling,incoherent response were you even close to anything

(18:44):
that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber
for having listened to it. Iaward you no points, and may God
have mercy on your soul. Imean it's a category error. Heaven,
Yeah, you mixed categories. Ican't accept it. It's like saying,
yeah, if you want to putoh, chocolate milkshake, right, is

(19:07):
it? Like, it's not what'sthe flavor in the milkshake? Yeah,
that's it? Yeah, what flavoris bringing all different ways to different Yeah.
Oh coconut coconut. Now, Iwill say coconuts a good ice cream.
I've never had a coconut by itself. I think the only coconut ice
cream might have had is uh,Stuarts again, local local spot around here,

(19:29):
not the Stuarts that makes the roopierthat is I think a national thing,
you know Stuarts. Yeah, butthey sell the glass bottle, they
sell them all over the place.But they have like actual yeah, it's
separates. I just when I firstgrew up here, I thought they were
the same. But this is Stewart'sshops. It's its own thing. They
have a mounds of coconut flavor withlike I know, this isn't your thing,
your anti dark chocolate, but it'sdark chocolate with the coconut ice cream.

(19:52):
Oh, I don't mind that.It's super creamy, suit just absolutely
delicious. It sounds does it haveany nuts in the it? No mounds?
Oh mounds, okay, as gonnasay so, it's not mounds.
It's not almond Joy. Of thatsay, it sounds like close close almond
Joy chocolate and coconut. Oh no, no, and the superior condemation.
I didn't get the whole mounds thinguntil you've said it, and then I

(20:14):
was like, oh, yeah,it sounds like it would be always better
before you have them, if youhad some nuts in that, and and
you're kind of chocolate nuts offering.The worst topping for a Sunday is the
nuts. Nobody wants nuts on thatSunday. I like nuts in Sunday.
I like better, like it betterthan spreaking your nuts. Anyway, coconut

(20:37):
coconut is good. Um, RockyRoad. You don't get that because you
ever seen that movie? Have you? No? I just pet by what
just happened? What I can't It'sright? You have still have nut seen
that movie with with with chunk andwith um oh the goon goond I admit

(21:00):
that, and the movies haven't seenGoody Did other people know that Rocky Road?
Anyway? If there's an ice creamflavor that I've heard of, but
I think I've only had once ortwice in my life, I don't like
marshmallow Rocky Road. I don't likemarshmallows in my ice cream. Oh you
know what, I just don't likethis. I don't like the way that
it's it's it's it's just doesn't itseems so strange, strange to be there.

(21:25):
Do you like the marshmallow topping thatyou dump on a sundawn? I
don't like marshmallow with ice cream atall. It just doesn't seem like it
jibes. I just feel like theliquidy topping divorces itself from actual marshmallow,
and I kind of like it.It makes like a just a sweet essence
that doesn't offer that much flavor.However, when it comes to ice cream,
I a family debate that we've haddown in Pennsylvania because there's a lot

(21:48):
of great ice cream shops down there. Um, it's a particular one by
Katie's where Katie grew up, calledLap Valley. Farms has I mean,
any ice cream that I love fromaround here, I've Lap Valley blows it
out of the water like or it'sforget about it. Lap Valley very good
has that like amishy touched to it? And they are they they have more

(22:08):
more than one location, like it'sall throughout Pa or no. Well,
I don't know if they they hadone that was like literally like you just
go to their farm and get icecream. I mean, it was established,
it was nice, there was animalsthere. It's kind of fun.
So they have a new spot.I'm not sure if that replaced the existing
ones, but it's really good.They have another place that's grown on me
called Fox Creamery that's also very gooddown there. But one of the flavors

(22:33):
that Katie's family, or at leastKatie really likes, is marshmallow chocolate marshmallow
ice cream chocolate marshmallow. So it'sjust chocolate ice cream, yeah, with
marshmallow inside. Now what's now,what's got Rocky Road? I know it's
got obviously it's got chocolate and marshmallow, but it's got other things in it
too, It isn't it? Doesit have chocolate bits in it? I

(22:53):
thought it might have had gummy bits. I don't know what's in it.
I don't know what I thought ithad. Well, I thought it had
just what you described, but alsolike chunks of chocolate in it. Maybe,
But anybody, that's what makes itrocky. This says, let's face
it, the frigid marshmallows are weird, okay, but you still ranked it
at fifteen or at sixteen. Sothey're not that weird apparently. But that's

(23:15):
but so very similar to this,and so that's something that Yeah, it's
almost like marshmallow is swirled throughout it. To me, it just seems like
it doesn't divorce itself enough from justchocolate, which is not a flavor.
I'm choosing on my own. Yeah, me either, almost ever, Yeah,
and chocolate marshmallow. Again, marshmallowsdon't. They don't get me out

(23:37):
of bed. No, I don'tlike marshmallows in general. I've only recently
decided I'll just start toasting, Imean, eating them. Other than that,
I used to just like not careabout the marshmallow. The's more like
I like the idea of it.Yeah, if you grab it from the
store, I put it in thecarl. Yeah, it's cool because you're
kind of fashioning it, you're makingit yourself. It's a hands on dessert
treat. But I just never reallyliked and I think that's probably why.

(24:02):
Is it just the marshmallow is justnot a It doesn't something satisfying about a
marshmallow to me. It's it's justchewy sugar. Yeah, I mean that's
why any time you can't even justso it's just airy, Oh banana nut
banana nutt are these muffins or theseice creams? I've never heard of that
either. I can't to put itat fifteen, would think that it's a

(24:26):
staple treat. Yeah, no,don't bother with plain banana and a real
banana purea ice cream. Wallnuts arethe perfect textual compliment. Okay, well
I could I could see that.I could see that worked. All right.
I'm really excited about this one,though. Do you this belongs even
higher up? It just believes thisbelongs in the top ten in your mind,

(24:49):
in my mind, in your mind, it's it's like the it's like
the forgotten ice cream flavor. Doyou think that image is even It's a
terrible representation. It looks like somewhattru just like exactly, or they had
it on their cone and it startedmelting and they just dropped the whole combe
just ground and there it is like, oh, let's get a picture of
all that. It looks like there'schocolate and then too, that's weird.

(25:11):
Yeah, it's not a good Idon't photo. I don't dislike pistachio,
but I also also don't actively everchoose it. One thing it's not good
for though, I have to say. And as much as I love I
love it is you know, yougo to place and you can get you
can get anything in a milkshake,right, chocolate milkshake, vanilla milkshake,
you know, anything like I'll trya pistachio milkshakes. I love pestachio so

(25:33):
much, it doesn't really work asa milkshake because when they grind it all
up and everything and all those littlebits of the pistachio nut get in there.
It's but don't don't you get acombo a big pistachio treat at the
bottom. No, actually, well, at least the ones I've had,
it's it's all throughout it and itbecomes like grainy when you're trying to suck
it through the straw. It's likeit's not not worth it. But as

(25:56):
an ice cream, you know.And I've also tried the soft serve variety.
No, oh, it's not softserve, wouldn't even have the pistachio,
and no, it's just simply whatthey consider the flavoring. This so
Heather Martin disapproves of the ones witha lot of unnatural green coloring added,
but the flavor itself is sublime.It is. The best varieties have a

(26:17):
mix of big pieces are the camerasright in front of the screen, chopped
bits and fine pistachio dust running through. So I've had both where with the
green and some of it where it'sjust simply pretty much white ice cream.
It's white with it. And Ilike the green only because it used to
call to I mean, that usedto be the identifying factor before everything became

(26:40):
mint and mint took over the greenlabel, like you think pistachio owned it
before mint did. In my mind, I did, because growing up I
don't even remember seeing mint chocolate chipor mint anything ice cream, and so
whenever I saw green, it wasalways associated in my mind with pistachio.
And then all of a sudden,the mint ones came out out and they

(27:00):
started taking on the green, andthen it became for me in my mind.
Yeah, I have to believe mintice cream came first. They're in
green. I don't know. Idon't know your childhood, like before you
were a kid, maybe like prenineteen eighty three. Yeah, do you
think so? Do you think mintice cream for that? I do,

(27:21):
but I have nothing to base iton except it seems timeless. Seems timeless
anyway. Uh, Dolce de lache. There is no better accompaniment to an
apple pie than a scoop of dulcedelache. Do you have that with an
apple pie? I don't know whatthat is? That does? Think some

(27:42):
creme fresh on my taco rather thanhaving sour cream? Awesome creme? Um,
maybe it's good my apple pie?I never had it. Yeah,
I've never had it, but apparentlyit's number thirteen. I just like to
have vanilla with my apple pie.What do you think of this? Oh?
Butter pecan, I'm sorry for anotherwith apple pie? Is yes?

(28:06):
Amazing? Sorry, yes, yeah, I didn't want to butter pecan.
Butter pecan is good. I likethat. That was good. That was
a big one. Growing up inour house, my mom really loved butter
pecanons. She would get the eades. Remember eats, Oh yeah, that
was the one thing that you everwould get in any other branch. You
would always get this in from meads. Why is it eats and eddies?
That's a good question. I don'tknow. I thought it was Eddie's
growing up, and then and thenI found out that it was D's.

(28:30):
And I've always called it eats,but then upon further examination, it looked
like it could easily be eddies.Is there two D's or one? I
don't know. I think it's juststill Is it there anymore? Does it
exact that much anymore? Actually,you mentioned tell you the last time I
saw it that I recall. Ithink you're right. I haven't either,
now that you mentioned it. Butterpecans underrated? Yeah, I think it's

(28:52):
a it's a it's good flavor.I don't go out of my way to
get it, but when I dohave it, I'm always shocked by how
much I enjoy it, mostly becauseI'm not a nut person, as I've
made clear, but a pical pconPeacan. It's just it's good. You
slap a pecan in a dessert.I'm there for it. Think, what

(29:14):
do you think between that and maybethis will be on there? Maybe it
won't be there. But there's thebutter pecan, and then there's also I've
I've seen like the maple walnut ora maple oh maple, which is a
very similar profile, like flavor profile. I think the subtlety of the buttery
ice cream is actually I love maplebetter than a maple walnut. Yeah,

(29:36):
you love that, like this morethan a people walnut? Yeah? I
think I do too. Um,you're right, it's number eleven. This
is a shocker that it's not inthe top ten, top ten. It's
just just out of top ten,but it definitely belongs up there. I
mean, this is this is whatthis is telling me. Someone is ranking
chocolate ice cream above vanilla ice atwhich does not should not happen, utterly

(29:56):
ridiculous. Well, we have uallywe agree with this. Find those one.
Yeah you found something. Yeah,when we have ice cream in the
freezer here at church, if there'svanilla and chocolate item, chocolate is always
going to be left behind. Yeah, vanilla will be consumed. Vanilla is
a better It's just a better iceYou know what, you wouldn't think that.

(30:17):
It seems like it seems as thoughto me, at least in my
family, chocolate would win the day. It seems like I'm surrounded by a
bunch of chocolate lovers over vanilla lovers. I'm thinking, what's going on?
Well, I think the problem ischocolate ice cream. I don't think captures
chocolate properly. I would agree withthat. It's a very different it's its

(30:37):
own, it's its own flavor.Really, it's a separate flavor than chocolate,
like a chocolate bar would be correct. Yeah, it's It always leaves
me thirsty, which is strange.If I eat chocolate ice cream, I'm
like, now I eat a beverageabout I like a fudge cicle? Yeah,

(30:59):
but I do. I don't wanta bowl of chocolate ice cream unless,
like, if that's all that's there, I'm like, sure, well
it sometimes. Actually I would goas far as say, if it's all
that's there, I just want tohave ice cream. Well that's better self
control than I have. Wow,well, not so much stuff control,
just that I just I wouldn't.I don't want to use the word to
detest because I don't detest it,but it's I think of it that low

(31:19):
on my ranking that I just noteven worth the time of day. It's
not even worth. Yeah, youknow, a little bit of that chocolate
ice cream by itself is a wasteof time. Chocolate milkshake, though,
that changes it, It changes itit. I think it adds an extra
creamy element that brings the chocolate backto being tasty. Yeah, it's almost

(31:41):
like it's concentrated. And then,like you said, when you add the
milk to the to the milkshake,it brings it back to, like you
said, where it should be.Yeah, like what chocolate should taste.
Like, do you get milkshakes fromfrom McDonald's anymore like a regular flavored one?
Like growing up, I felt likegetting a milkshake for McDonald's was more
of a thing. I don't needmore chocolate, But when I did,

(32:06):
we always get always got vanilla.Yeah, but like, no, I
don't now I'll grab maybe a Shamrockshake. We tried that Grimace birthday shake,
which I'm still not sure what thatwas, although if you it's it's
it's a little bit deceiving because whenwe did the initial uh Are recording it
was our first taste one, it'strue, but they're positive. But the
more we we we you know,you know, imbibed it, the more

(32:30):
the worse it got. It justit was terrible. It went from like
we thought it had a flavor tothat it's like, this is no flavor.
It's just sweet. It makes yougrimace. Yes, it was bad,
it was anyway, but yeah,you know, it used to be
more of a thing to get ashake at. Yeah, and McDonald's,
and now it's I don't even thinkthey had as even as an idea,
an option. You couldn't go wrongwith whatever one you got. Yeah,

(32:52):
No, it's true. They actuallyhad collectible I remember getting um cups from
McDonald's football player ones for the milkshake cups. We had a Berry Sanders
and a Drew bledsow at home,and I know we got shakes in them.
They used to do a lot morethat kind of thing. Yeah,
yeah, now everything is everything's changed, all right. Number ten, Strawberry

(33:12):
cheesecake. That's the top, notan ice cream flavor. That is clearly
an image of vanilla ice cream,which strawberries and cheesecake crumbles on it.
Yeah, that's just a Sunday,I disregard it. Maybe it's a top
ten combination, but you're out ofyour minds. Cookies and cream is properly
placed in the top ten. Iagree. I agree with that one.

(33:32):
Yeah, I like that. Iremember when that when my first interest the
cookies and cream, and I waslike, and then I realized it's just
pretty much Oreos almost yeah, youknow in it, And I'm thinking,
yeah, that's brilliant. It's agood combination, and it's always good,
whether it be in a mcflurry,whether it's a blizzard, which is also
a mcflurry. Well, I'm mcflurry'sa blizzard. I mean, I'm pretty

(33:53):
sure McDonald stole it from TQ.Yeah, but cookies and cream ice cream
almost is never a fair. Thatseems everybody likes cook and cream if you
don't have chocolate and vanilla for somereason, I mean, cookies and cream
will satisfy it almost anybody. It'sa good Hershey bar, and I don't
ye much of Hershey is good ofthe Hershey Bar family. I love races,

(34:15):
which I also acknowledge is Hershey.Anyway, cookies and cream. I
don't have much to say other thangood job. Heaving on that one number
eight. Just go ahead, youcan. I give you permission. Just
swap this in vanilla. Yeah,vanilla belongs in the top ten. Yea,

(34:36):
chocolate belongs in the outside looking in. Want to be there, but
I leave people wanting more every singletime the window, like, oh,
I wish I was there. Lookhow unappetizing that looks. That is chol
This is the perfect image of chocolateice cream. A little bit of the

(34:58):
freezer burn, not quite a brown, rich color. I'm faintly chocolate e.
I stink I'm terrible. I don'tknow what voice I'm using right now.
It's the chocolate voice. But shesays, I love Oh, good
for her. I love chocolate icecream, but I also think it's overrated.

(35:21):
But I put it in the topten Heather Martin. Maybe she's putting
other people's opinion over her own.She's trying to isn't this her list?
I didn't read the opening paragraph.It's just this is what yeah read words.
She thinks that most people, oh, coffee, coffee ice cream,
coffee ice cream. Um, Idon't like that. Coffee ice looks horrendous.

(35:43):
Looks like this image that looks likestuff is covered in gravy. That's
a Thanksgiving sight. Oh my goodness, Heather, listen, Oh, I
don't know where, like yourself afavor, scour the internet for good looking

(36:04):
photos before you make the list.What do you know? But coffee ice
cream is delicious. Um, youadd chocolate chips to that coffee ice cream,
it's good. Maybe a chocolate swirlcream, a coffee fudge is a
Stewart's flavor. Very good. Iapprove of coffee being in the top ten.
Yes, I don't know if sevenwhere it belongs. Maybe that's that
in mind too much of an agreement. Good good good chocolate chip. I

(36:30):
don't know chocolate chip ice cream belongsto chocolate side. I think chip used.
I think, I think what whatdisplaced the chocolate chip from where it
should where it is? Or isthe cookies and cream? It blows it
out of the water. It kicksthis thing back to below fifteen exactly.
I think the concept of taking vanillaand putting chocolate in it, and somehow

(36:53):
let's just instead of using chocolate chip, let's use chocolate cookie. Let's let's
try to see how that works.And it won without a doubt. It's
like it's like the chocolate chip.It's like chocolate chip two point zero.
Would you rather sit there with abag of Nestly Tollhouse chips or a bag
of oreos? Yeah? Oreos oreosall day? Yeah, absolutely right,

(37:14):
So let's mix that with ice cream. Yep. So the fact that chocolate
chip is higher on this list thancookies and cream is troubling. Yeah.
I don't think it belongs in thetop fifteen. No, so wow,
I agree, this is compelling compellingstuff. Me and you arguing like this
black black raspberry. Huh. I'vehad black cherry ice cream, black cherry,

(37:36):
I've had black red. I hadn'tseen it. I think I've had
it before. Yeah, you know, I've had like the what's it called
torta tortoiseshell or not tortoiseshell, butsomething that like torto isn't at trtec.
I've had raspberry fudge tort frozen yogurt, That's what I'm thinking. Stuarts.
That's amazing, But that's more ofa vanilla based frozen yogurt with chocolate and
raspberry. Yeah, but if theyhave it with they have it with ice

(38:00):
cream as well. But you're right, it's it's more of a vanilla bass.
This is no vanilla. It's completelyobliterated by them. I'm not gonna
lie though, I feel like forsome reason this is appetizing to me.
Oh it is it can't I agreethat looks refreshing. It shouldn't be a
good picture by any means. Idon't know if I don't know if it's

(38:22):
top ten, No, No,you're right. I think I think it's
good. I think it's certainly ifshould be placed high on the list,
but not. I think maybe eleven. Again, vanilla is outside the top
ten, then black raspberries got tobe outside. Yeah, that's true.
If you're gonna keep vanilla out.I don't know what gets in. Yeah,

(38:43):
but yeah, I don't think so. Moose tracks. What's in Moose
tracks? Remind me? Like,so, this is a vanilla ice cream
bass with like dark chocolate chunks throughoutReese's or a little Minnie peanut butter cup
and then also peanut butter too muchgoing on? For me? It's not
too much. It's so good.Yeah for me, For me, it

(39:05):
was so good. I've had itbefore it. Yeah, it's yeah,
that's not the same one that hasI'm just reading it real quick. Uh
okay, No, just doesn't haveany Graham cracker, and I like to
kind of have the Graham cracker.It's similar to that, but it has
a Graham cracker and intwo, Idon't like that. Yeah, no,
it says No has no Graham cracker. It's if you get a good one,
it's really balanced. It's it's thevanilla is the dominant ice cream and

(39:29):
then you just get these little popsof flavors. I'm not a big fan
of having any any uh, peanutbutter in my ice cream at all.
Like I mean, I don't hateit, like I said, but I
mean it just something that I wouldreach for. And Brianna does. She
loves that, you know, butI just don't. Moose Tracks is so
good. It's very good. ButI think it belongs in the top ten.

(39:51):
You clearly think it doesn't, whichis fine. It's fine. Um,
I don't know what this is.Toasted almond but chalk with almonds pretty
much out of the top ten.Lose me at chocolate and almonds. Ye
gone, all right, just scrollthrough. It's not even right. It's
even in a candy bar. Youdon't need the almonds or the chocolate.
You know what I mean, justgo with the mounds. No almond joy

(40:15):
is needed. Number two ship sittingat number two the mint chip. Maybe
the topic of conversation is mint chipdoes is there and most people's list as
a top really top item because itseems like everybody likes it. I just
I don't see the draw as aas a kid growing up, I feel
like if we were able to goget our individual flavors, because we would

(40:36):
never get a half gallon of mintchocolate chip. My mother doesn't like mint.
Yeah, that's how I am too. I definitely forgot that one time
for my brother's birthday when he askedfor an ice cream cake of mint and
that's all I had available, Sothat I went to the store and gets
something else. I'm like, ohshoots, so sorry, But that's just
the flavor of my childhood is mintchocolate chip. Yeah. And I loved

(40:59):
getting it in a milk ship becauseat the end of the milkshake there was
just a collection of chocolate chips atthe bottom and it was good. But
what I think displaces the mint chocolatechip, just like with the chocolate chip
ice cream, is the mint icecream with cookies in it. OK,
so they have one up here calleda mint cookie crumble. It's got to
exist in other places. Yeah,mint cookie crumble, it's I mean,

(41:22):
it's the same concept. Like Iwant an oreo over a chocolate chip.
Yeah, so you get into oreo. I just don't want to eat a
tube of you know, of toothpaste. That's not want to take. That's
so much better than that. Don'tbe closed minded, chriss, that's it.
I mean my own son, Nathanfour years olds, like he eats
the ice cream is like he talksabout how it takes like his toothpaste.

(41:44):
I'm like, yeah, that's that'sthat probably sums it up, like I
don't want to be eating toothpaste withchocolate funks and it's it's so good.
Um, it's just it's good.All it leaves me wishing for it?
Right now? Is I look atthat it's pistachio because it's the same color.
Yeah, back to the pistachio.Yeah, well, I mean,

(42:05):
you know, in that same coneand the waffle waffle cone is great with
the pistachio. I don't know ifI like I like the waffle cone because
you're always going to get more icecream because it's huge. Yes, but
I think I like the flavor ofa sugar cone, the small point one,
you know. I think it alldepends on the on the ice cream.
I mean, I really do thinkthat some some ice cream is better
compliment one over the other. That'strue. And I think pistachios happens to

(42:29):
be. I think butter pecan inone of the in that that would be
better than a sugar that would begood, would be for it, that
would be very good. I gotmint chocolate chip. You remember that Tollgate
ice cream plays. Yes, theyhad Oreo cones like a chocolate cone that
was like an Oreo texture. Yeah. So a mint chocolate chip in that
was very good. Yea. Soit does make it does make a difference.

(42:50):
So the girl Scouts selling cookies thinmint, do you ever go for
it? No, Samoa smolla isgood. I've changed. I don't like
the thin mint because I think itneeds a cream element that's not there.
I used to love the thin mintthough. Yeah, a mint is a
near and dear flavored I mean,I like Andy's, those little Andy's candies
they used to give. That's whatthis is. I know. But it's
this is Andy's an ice cream form. You keep telling me that doesn't taste

(43:15):
like toothpaste, But this tastes liketoothpaste, does it? It's just different,
just overwhelming. Oh, it's sogood. It's so good. I
think it's properly placed. Because Andy'sat number at Why don't everything that's been

(43:37):
listed now I'm not even sure whatnumber one. I can't wait to see
what number one it's got to beon her list. It's going to be
Sunday concoction. That's not even areal flavor, tooty fruity ice cream.
It's got to be right. Onlyall that makes me think of is beamboozled,
where you either get tooty fruity orstinky socks. You didn't look ahead
of times. You don't know whatthis is though, this is all we're

(43:59):
doing. The What all I didahead of time was just I went through
to kind of, yeah, seewhat flavors were on it, but I
didn't remember where they were ranked,So I don't know what's number one.
Turtle, turtle, carmel, pecan, pecan, pecan. I mean,
I that's a terrible I tend tothink that it was probably down because of

(44:22):
what we already went through. Wealready went through everything that should be on
the list. Turtle, turtle,carmel, pecan, pecan. I can't
see that word without making it seemwrong every time I say it. You
can't say it right, no abouthow you say it. You don't fit
into anybody's every time I say itpecan pecan. This ice cream combines some

(44:52):
of the other best flavors into awinning combination. When it's made with top
notch vanilla, equal amounts of chocolateand carmel swirls, and the pecans Pecans
pecans toasted chest right, it's thepinnacle of creamy tree achievement. Nothing against
almonds and peanut butter featured so promon the elsewhere in the top ten,
Pecans Pecans in particular echo and amplifythe buttery notes. At oily text texture.

(45:24):
I've never saw oily texture of realmilk. That's what I want,
some oily texture in my milk.Oh oh, can we finish this ridiculously
stupid sentenced oily texture of real milklike a dairy choir and dairy chore choir
choir and then Grand Canyon does sheknow where the Grand Canyon is how often

(45:52):
is the Grand Canyon in Arizona?Where is the Grand in Canada? Somewhere
I've never bed, but it's inthis No, No, it's in like
Arizona, that area of the country. Yeah, you're not committed either,
like idiots here, obviously I knowa lot about No, we know geogradically,

(46:16):
I don't know. But where theGrand Canyon exists? And it doesn't
haven't Icy Grand unless she's just talkingabout an icy canyon. But don't put
Grand Grand. The Grand Canyon isone place. Yeah, and it's not
icy, and yeah, it doesnot belong there. Oh, that's too

(46:36):
bad if you're picking bubblegum, though, let's just say you can have mine.
I wouldn't eat another. That's that'syeah. That was a very last
one that was on the bottom ofthe list. It was on the bottom.
Yeah. Um, I have nodoubt that this might be a tasty
thing that seems like it should bein a latte at Starbucks. Here,
here's what this is, right,butter pecans the flavor. Yeah, you've

(47:00):
morphed it into something else. Sothe list should become well, that becomes
a base like vanilla debates of thingsbutter beacom becomes a base and then you
just add caramel. So like,where does the list end on flavor combinations?
If we can just take the flavorand keep upping it, and I
know that's what we've done with cookiesand cream. We've taken vanilla, we've

(47:20):
added cookie, but it's become itsown staple flavors. If I say to
someone, of course you want someturtle, yeah, you go tiles.
I don't need that turtle cream chocolateturtles making sense? Like, what are
you talking about chocolate? I'm talkingabout the number one ice cream flavor on
Heather Martin's list. Nobody's number onein anybody's book except together. No way,

(47:47):
no, no, it doesn't belongthere. What you've just said,
it's one of the most insanely idioticthings I've ever heard of. And Nope,
I can't. I don't have to. I can't listen to the whole
thing every time. But so Ithere's some things on this list I'd like,
there's some things on this list thatI don't like. Yeah, um,

(48:08):
I just think number one was wasa travesty. Yeah is that too
strong? It all camp out?What you know? It was going to
happen though, which is it wasinevitable as we were going through a list
like number one's not going to beI would anything I would have been.
We would be excited about fine,not that it's my number one, but
I would have been fine with thecookies and cream at number one too,

(48:30):
even though it's not my favorite.I can understand how most people would think
that way. Mass appeal, Yes, exactly, mass appeal. Now,
all right, so we've kind ofhad this conversation on and off leading up
to this. Yeah, but it'sso the rest of your life though.
So you have one ice cream thatyou can eat, what do you choose?
I feel like it's a no brainer. I know what you're gonna say.

(48:53):
Chocolate. Yeah, yeah, No, no, I think I think
my my. I think I've changedyou stay pistache. No no, no,
no, I'm not. Actually Iwould. I thought that I would.
But you know what, if Ihad to only pick one, I
think this list I was talking about, this list has made my has changed

(49:14):
my mind. Oh, I thinkI have to be cool cookies and cream,
cookies and cream. I would gowith that. I could say,
you know what, it's not itwouldn't not my favorite. But it's if
that's all that existed, I wouldbe pretty perfectly fine with that. I
see. I just feel like it'svanilla because then I can create all these
Oh yeah, yeah, we wetalked about that offline too. That's true,
right, that's true. I don'tthink there's a restriction. There's a

(49:37):
restriction on you can go to thegrocery freezer and you can pick one flavor.
I'm grabbing vanilla, but that meansI also have to go over to
the baking aisle and maybe get somemint extra. Yeah, that's true.
You can. You can make anythingyou want from them. I could make
it from Yes, that's true.It's gonna take extra work, but so
flavor of I didn't know if thatwas still on table as an option.
It's a cop out, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for

(49:59):
sure. I guess if I ifI had to go where you can't modify
it, right, yeah, ifyou couldn't modify, Like, there's a
part of me that's like ment chocolatechips are great, but I can't add
peanut. You're plunging the world intoa single everybody in the worst we're in

(50:20):
the world. But then as vanilla, yeah, I agree, yeah,
I agree. Well, my mymy thought. My answer was like,
obviously, if I had, ifI had to make a concession besides pistachio,
because that would be my favorite ofall time, I would only need
that if I had to make aconcession, because I knew that other people
would have have to also be plungedinto a single flavor for all of existence.

(50:43):
I would say. That's that's whereI came up with my my answer.
If with with cookies and cookies andcream, cookies and cream, if
I if I had to sentence theworld, yeah, I think there is
good. At least it hits chocolateand vanilla together. Because in this scenario,
if you go to put an oreoin your vanilla ice cream, the

(51:05):
Gestapo comes and takes you away.What kind of where are we living in?
Right? Is this that I createthe hugger gate? Uh? Yeah,
so okay, So but yeah,I think we will both agree.
You know what, cookies and creamsare good? Yeah, it's gotta be
good, gotta be good. Ithink that's that's got the most mass appeal.

(51:27):
I think so because all the otherflavors are just too committal. Yeah,
like you can't shoot, you can'tyou can't play. It takes every
these days. You can't pick peanutbutter for the world because there's a decent
amount of people that are gonna die. Why would do this? Why don't
you read the ice cream to eata cookie? Instead? You get any

(51:50):
other kind of cookie you want.Listen, it's just ice cream or restricted.
There's tons of other desserts. Whydid you have to eat that one?
There's sherbet, there's sure sherbet,there's surebet. I'm just gonna say,
Sherbert, that's what I took itself. It sounds funny, thought Herbert,
even though there's no R in it. Suber no second art. Oh

(52:12):
we're dumb. I don't know whatis going on, said, I just
can, and that's why he getssome ice cream. I just fake killed
some peanut butter. I scream aboutthis podcast. What is going on?
Hey? I could never written this. No, they couldn't have. That's
why AI. You know what,I'm not worried about it? Yeah,
okay, yeah, um oh boy, pizza, pizza, hug spot,

(52:36):
pepper, pepper, Oh my gosh. Oh, if if I took over,
we would we would all be ruined. That's what the AI tells us.
So let me just one last question. You know, we got to
wrap this up of the vanilla's scoop, let's scoop this out. What vanilla

(52:58):
would you choose? Oh, it'sa good question because let's lets let's let's
talk about the different ones. There'sPhilly Philli vanilla, there's vanilla Bean,
Vanilla Bean, French vanilla, andthen there's just a regular vanilla. Yeah
that be considered. Well, I'veI've seen one of the I forget what
company makes that. They call itlike homestyle vanilla, Okay, like like

(53:19):
yeah, homestyle or traditional Yeah vanillamaybe? So French vanilla is that kind
of yellowed yes vanilla? Yep.I think coffee creamers have ruined that for
me forever. So I wouldn't goFrench van Yeah, I would think I
would Land vanilla Bean vanilla Bean's verygood, or Phillyilla's life vanilla Bean.

(53:40):
I think they're very similar. First, you know, I think Vanilla Bean
and Philly vanilla are extreme vanillas.Like they're very potent flavor. I like
that, yeah, very punchy,like it's in your face vanilla. It's
not just like, oh, notsubtle like the traditional would be not creamy.
It's more vanilla than creamy. Yeahsee, and that's that's where I

(54:00):
get hung up, because there's acreamy aspect of ice cream that's just amazing.
There's a brand out there, Tillamook. Oh yeah, I've seen it.
It's very creamy ice cream. Okay, it's so good, I think.
I don't want to overhype it.It is it theirs i've had that
was they had a non green,a different one. It was a different
flat, it was a different brand, but it was so creamy that when

(54:22):
he went to scoop it, therewasn't any resistance. It was almost like
it was almost the point where itwas essentially it felt that I thought though
it was it was somewhat melted,but it wasn't. It was just that's
the creamy quality of really, andI don't know what flavor or what the
brandet was. Now that's good.It was too bad. It was too
much. Yeah, so creamy.You know. I think vanilla bean is

(54:43):
I think like a good compliment tolike an apple pie. It's a good
vanilla by itself, but I gottago with like straight traditional vanilla two is
good, Yeah, especially as asoft serve, which we didn't even get
in this alway, didn't talk aboutso officerve, yeah, which I don't
think it's worth the time of dayat all. Ever. Soft serve ice

(55:04):
cream now, oh man, Ijust I used to love getting that because
you can just take a big biteof it and it would just like disappear.
I mean, it's good if it'sif it's there. I mean I
remember going to remember going as akid to you know, like and all
you Eat all you can eat buffet. That's soft serve. That's the od
on the soft swer because you canhave as much of it as you want
it. But it's the worst qualityof the vanilla is off. Yeah,

(55:27):
it's it's bad. It's well,you know what I mean. That's the
twist with that. When I wasa kid, the vanilla and the chocolate
both stink at like the all youcan Eat buffet. The only time now
I get soft serve, we're onthe topic, The only time I get
a nap soft serve is if it'snot by itself, if I if I
can have like, um, adip on it, Like um a dip
is good, but that that hardenedout exterior, that's like a cherry flavor

(55:49):
or whatever the flavor it does,or choc never chocolate, but usually like
something like zy like strawberry or somethinglike that, or cherry. Then I
will get it. It's a goodtexture combo. Yes, I like that.
Maybe it makes up for the factthat it's when lately when I've been
getting vanilla at places that have it, I'll get it dipped in fruity pebbles.
Oh, I've I've never had that. That sounds delicious though tasty,

(56:10):
that sounds really good. It's thatthey have that. Yeah, and never
even thought. If you go upLatham, this place is called Control Tower.
Okay, they they do that there. A friend of mine was there
and I saw it, and I'mlike, where did you get that?
I think control Tower? Are youlike most people do, like me,
Like when you go when you're goingfor ice cream, you typically go for

(56:31):
what you know, not not alot of people like look around. I
mean you you kind of look around, but for the most part, you're
you're you have in your mind,like maybe I have three or four,
maybe even five different ideas in mymind about what I'm gonna get and what
I'm in the mood for. Likeyou, you have a choice in your
mind already pre predisposed to certain things, and you just get dose, you

(56:52):
know what I mean. Similar tolike Chinese food, you know what I
mean, Like you go with acertain in mind what you have, but
then when you see somebody else who'seating Chinese food or getting ice cream,
I think it's something that you wouldjust it blows your mind because like I
didn't even think of that as anoption. Then it opens you up to
something else. That's how I think. I just I go with five different
ideas in my mind, and that'sit. I have go to things at

(57:15):
like fast food or take out likeChinese and being the same thing. Yeah,
but I'm more apt to be adventurousAt an ice cream place, I
don't always get a vanilla soft servedwith fruity pebbles. I've been testing these
like Control to hour. I triedtheir slushy mixed with ice cream. Yeah,
was a letdown. But I sometimesI'll get the big Sundays that are

(57:38):
just outrageous but they're so good.But you know what, something about ice
cream, and this is something aswe end a little bit, but I
think about ice cream in general,is that I think you can be more
adventurous with ice cream of more thanany other food, because you're really at
the end of the day, areyou're not going to be disappointed to the

(58:00):
point where it's like, well thatwas terrible, Like I just ruined my
my choices. Like you always getsomething that you know you're gonna you're probably
gonna like it because it's ice cream, right, Yeah, I mean even
if I had to eat chocolate rightat the end day, you're like,
I still have ice cream. Thatwas good? Yeah, you know what
I mean. That's that's the thingabout about ice cream is that you might

(58:20):
it might have be your favorite,your preference, but at the end of
even if you got something that yousaid you you would never get again,
you're ever never like well that younever walk away saying oh or throwing it
away. Partially, I can't dothat. I don't even like when my
walk away said that was good,that was That wasn't great, but it
was good. It was satisfied.Because ice cream, a chocolate ice cream

(58:42):
flavor worth mentioning is Queen of Hearts, Oh at Jericho, yeah, get
at some other places. Yeah,I think it's a Parry's flavor that Parry's
hard ice Yeah, I think theydo. Parry's are hurt. I don't
know. I don't remember. It'sa good question. I don't know.
But it's very good. It's veryrich chocolate ice cream with chipper creamy but
with like raspberry like almost like raspberrycups, like chocolate raspberry cups inside of

(59:07):
it. It's it's super chocolate,but it's the right rich chocolate flavor that
I just love. And I getthat in a milkshake. I love it.
And that also has the treat atthe bottom of getting all the chocolate
raspberry pieces. Yeah, I justlike having a gift at the bottom.
When I was a kid, foryou, when I was a kid,
I used to drop an oreo intothe milk. I like the same thing.

(59:28):
So then at the end I wouldget that sopping wet and do the
same thing. So that's how weare on that note. All right,
cool, we should probably end thisthing. Yeah, that was fun.
That was fun. I definitely wantice cream and I got a Hank Grint
for it. It's good. Nowyou're going on vacation, yes, you

(59:49):
get some ice cream down there?Definitely gotta get something. Is there a
boardwalk Myrtle Beach? Beach. Idon't know. I remember I think there
might be something down there, icecream on a boardwalk. Is it's just
ice cream near a beach? Yeah, it is always different. Maybe it's
just better. Is it the icecream better or just because it's it's mixed
with the surrounding anything, it's justbetter than being home. Yet, chocolate

(01:00:15):
ice cream by the beach the bestthing. So anyway, we are thankful
