Ladies and gentlemen, this is Aaron Keefe singing Smabe Maria. Smabe. Smabe. Smabe. Smabe. Smabe. Smabe. Smabe. Smabe, Smabe. JPC, are you in your phone? I'm singing Smabe Maria. I'm sorry. This song gets me so emotional I had to watch a porn. Oh, I'm sorry. I totally understand. Okay. As you were, as you were, as you were. Nah, never mind. It's not disgusting enough for me. Hey, everybody. We're disgusting enough for this, which is a chatterbox. Chortor Corks. This is us. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Chat, chat, chat. That's us. That's us. We're doing blah, blah, blah, chat, chat, chat. 50 minutes. We should start calling these blah, blah, blahs, chat, chat, chats. Yeah. Blah, blah, blah, chat, chat, chat. Can I regale you guys with an anecdote from my life? Yes, please. Yeah. So when you have a kid, and you're soon to find this out. They change on a day-to-day basis. they they do things that like are new to you or shock you or surprise you and my kid is generally like a pretty good eater but we've been we do this thing where we're like you can eat what's on the plate or not eat what's on the plate but that's what you get like you you get the same thing everyone's eating we eat as a family and we all eat the same thing um but like we're not like forcing them to leak you know eat things if they if they don't want it or they try it and they don't like it it's like great it's it'll be there for next time sure but last night for the first time I don't know where this fucking came from. They do stuff so much that you're like, where the fuck did this come from? But they stopped eating their dinner. They were like done with their dinner. They didn't eat very much. And we're like, OK, like if you don't want to eat anymore, you don't have to eat anymore. And like you can get down. But they didn't want to get down from the table. They were like, no, I want cake. And we're like, well, we don't have any cake. We never have cake. I'm like, we don't we don't own cake like cake. none of us are eating cake. We can't. We have no cake. And they were like, I want cookies. We're like, we simply don't have any cookies in the house either. They're like, we don't keep cake or cookies here. I don't know where you learned about things like this, but there's none of that here. They're like, no? I was like, no? And they're like, cupcakes? I simply don't know where you learned about cupcakes either. It's so funny of like, start with cake, go big, No, I'll settle for cookies. No cookies. I guess I'll choke down some cupcakes. Oh, brutal. We did make the mistake of, and not really a mistake, but like around Christmas time, they were like, we bought some eggnog for the house and we gave them some eggnog. And then we went out to like Christmas with my family and they had eggnog. And so they had eggnog again. And now they ask for, they're like, eggnog? And we're like, eggnog is not one of the standard drinks that is available to you. It's like they think that it's like water, eggnog and coffee are the three drinks that exist in the house. Three big ones. I know that the adults drink the coffee So that not for me Plus it too hot Don want that And water is just like everybody drinks water But if we could get some eggnog in the mix Now we're talking. I'm pretty sure the three of us are mad about that nog. Is there anything to opening up like a cafe that exclusively serves eggnog? Or a food truck that just, or a vending machine that just has eggnog? Warm eggnog from a vending machine. Do I put all my money behind it? Yes. Now, Erin, you said warm. I mean, how do we keep it cold? I mean, most vending machines. They keep the Pepsi cold, Erin. They keep the Pepsi cold. Do they? I think Pepsi probably is a little more shelf-stable than eggnog. Adel, Erin, what do you think of my new hair? Before you ask, before you ask, yes, I did pull every piece of hair from my head because I was so stressed out about business finances. Yeah, buddy. That looks stressful. I love my new JPC wig. Thank you for this. And the best part, it was super painful to do because I used my hands and fingers. Wow. Should have used found. Right, Erin?

Okay, well, let me just do my final measurements here. Everything seems even. Check the doors. Adel, Aaron? Hmm? I have, using my skills as a woodworker, have crafted a well-built wardrobe. A magical one where you can go into a magical world? No, I tried it. It's just wood. But it's well-built. GPC, when we said every adult should have sort of a well-built wardrobe, we didn mean like the actual frame like an actual wooden wardrobe we went like in a quince way like you know like having a lot of adult well The quality clothing that lasts Quality pieces that work together. They hold up over time. You know, that's what quince does best. We told you that. Organic cotton sweaters, polos for every occasion, lighter jackets that keep you warm in the changing season. I have a raincoat from them that I love. I held you down sort of clockwork orange style and held open your eyes while I showed you that quince's premium materials thoughtful design and everyday staples feel easy to wear and they're easy to rely on even as the weather shifts in Chicago this is making sense now because I was like you were talking about how quince works directly with top factories and cuts out the middleman so you're not paying for brand markup just quality clothing that's what you said and that's what you were doing with my eyes and can I be honest with you I did not build that well of wardrobe. I mean, this thing is pretty loose. No, it's pretty loose. You can knock it over with a feather. Oh, a nail just went right through my thumb. That's the best case scenario.

I'm going. He came with the thing. I found him on Fiverr. Here's the thing. So we've talked about this before, that eggnog is a seasonal drink, and they just don't sell it at stores past a certain point. So I did look up, like, how hard would it be to make eggnog if I just wanted to make a batch of eggnog? and I looked at the recipe and I said, no, this does not seem like something. And I think where my hang up is, is I don't feel confident cooking a drink. Does that make sense? Like if it was like a complicated recipe, like baking thing, I'd be like, I think I could give this my best shot, but I just don't feel confident cooking a drink. What are some of the process? What parts of the process scare you? or are you hung up on? Using eggs to make a drink, I think is like kind of where I'm like, ooh, I don't know. Because I, like eggs and baking, I'm like, I can do this. And I think like, you know, I've made like cider before. So I think I wouldn't feel necessarily, or like mulled wine. I think I could do that. But even when I'm like cooking liquid on the stove, I don't know. It just, it feels like a bridge too far for me. also I kind of I don't want to make I just don't want to make eggnog because I don't want a lot of it I want one sip of it so it's like am I going to make a batch? What if I cook up some eggnog and I drop some off? Would you drink it or would you just say very good and just pour it down the drain? Is it hot or cold? Egg yolks granulated sugar milk heavy cream nutmeg salt vanilla extract I I have all that Have you had the Oberweiss eggnog The Oberweiss everything is good. So good. Yeah. That's so good. Anyway. That's great. Now I want eggnog. Adel, if you cook up a batch of eggnog, I'd be happy to drink with you. I also, Adel, I ordered something that we had talked about on a recent Hey Riddle Riddle that when it gets here I'll be bringing over to your place. We'll probably watch the thing and enjoy it together. Ooh. We were talking about those chocolate-covered oranges that you like crack and then you can, you know, eat the chocolate orange slices. I ordered two of them. Oh, hell yeah. The two that I ordered because I was like, I saw the one that I was like, oh, this is the one that I want. But then I saw that they had other types. So I ordered one that is a mint-flavored chocolate orange. But it's orange and mint. And I don't know how I feel about that. But I'm intrigued. I trust the process. is this Terry's? Terry's is the big one. Yeah. It's the brand Terry's. And then I also got the dark chocolate one. It's like a dark chocolate orange. And I think I'm going to really love that one, but I got the mint one just as like a kind of wild hair up my ass. Like why not try it? Yeah. That sounds, I bet, I bet it's good. Cause they, I feel like Terry's, I assume they're a British company. It feels like they wouldn't, they wouldn't, you know, mass sell it if it wasn't a hit. Yeah. And I like, I like chocolate mint, right? Like I like, uh, a nice chocolate, you know, Olive Garden after dinner. You guys are making me hungry. Sorry, Erin. Sorry. Thank you for apologizing. This isn't what this is about. I was just sharing about my life because it's a chatterbox. This is the time to do it. But if I get hungry, I get to sue you. I was just in, well, not just. This is a little bit ago. This was over Christmas, I guess, in Vermont. And we went to Walpole, which might have been in New Hampshire. anyway walpole walpole which was a very charming and aaron i think there might be a walpole massachusetts but this is this was i think a different place but this was an incredibly charming small town um and there was a place that apparently is famous for their chocolates called like bruddicks or something like that and uh so we went with jemma's family and people are like oh you gotta you got you have to try this place it's so good it's so good we go there and they have little chocolate mice and all this stuff that they're known for and i got i get some chocolates and i'm like oh this is very good this is very good chocolate and then we see they're selling hot chocolate and jemma's like i'll buy one of these so she buys a hot chocolate and you can either buy like the mix in bags or you can like buy a buy it from the barista and the bag mix of the hot chocolate is like 38 a bag jesus and so we're like let's just buy a single one and so Gemma gets one. And I'm like, how good could this be? I take one sip of this hot chocolate and my life has changed. This is the best hot chocolate I've ever had in my life. This shit is incredible. It's so fucking good. And it's in the smallest town. Did you buy the $38 bag? I did. Yeah, I thought we were careening towards that. You have to. I absolutely did. Can you describe it? I'm going to get hungry again. I'm already upset. Aaron asking the question. But I need to know. I need to know. But I'm also upset. One, two, three, four. Hey, Riddle, Riddle's glue crew.
