I don't have a whole lot of that. I don't know if it's just the because it's like the a grocery store, you know, so you don't have a lot of that. Or if it's just the fact that I'm old enough to be their mom now. It doesn't matter. So you know I don't yeah, I don't have a whole lot of that.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

And that's the best part.

SPEAKER_02 3:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

All right. And that's why we like coming, coming when you work. It sucks that you'll work on the weekends, but that's being selfish. Yeah.

Popcorn Rituals And Seasonings

SPEAKER_01 28:25

Those suck. Bad. I mean, I I love I I'm I guess I'm just a basic guy because I like just regular tato chips. Um maybe not as much as Rayette likes Cheeto's puffs.

SPEAKER_02 28:38

I'm not a Cheeto per potato chip person. I like that. Yeah, but I don't. I I mean I eat them if they're there. I you just need Cheetos. Okay. I like Cheeto's puffs, but I would eat a bowl of popcorn over Cheeto's puffs. Yeah, she would. Do you guys like the car the um kettle corn popcorn or regular popcorn?

SPEAKER_00 29:00

I still cook mine on the stove in a pot, in a pan. And then I use dill pickle seasoning over the top with I put a little grapeseed oil on it, and I use this certain it's a certain one because it has garlic and everything else in it, so it's kind of savory. And I put that over the top after I put a little bit of grapeseed oil on it, and that's how I like my popcorn. I do like kettle corn, but my favorite way is that that sounds good.

SPEAKER_02 29:30

I meant to try it. My husband always popped an old school, and I always did the you know, oil wreck and bucker, just put it in the microwave, and then I started doing it like he doesn't, and it's way better. But I'm gonna have to try it like that with what kind of oil on it. Grapeseed oil. That sounds good.

SPEAKER_01 29:46

That's what she means. I I I just eat the I still eat the Costco microwave.

SPEAKER_02 29:51

It's good, though.

SPEAKER_01 29:52

It is good.

SPEAKER_02 29:53

The Costco microwave popcorn is actually really good. Is it?

SPEAKER_01 29:56

Yeah, pretty good stuff.

SPEAKER_02 29:58

I'm still thinking about the grapeseed oil.

SPEAKER_01 30:01

She likes uh, I don't know. She instead of butter, that's what she uses.

SPEAKER_02 30:05

Yeah, I don't put any butter on mine. Oh I don't need it. It's so good that way.

SPEAKER_01 30:11

I've tried it and it's really good.

SPEAKER_00 30:12

It is and I like buttered popcorn, like going to the movies and having a good buttered popcorn and stuff. I love that. Yeah. But I just prefer when I'm at home that that's I love that.

SPEAKER_02 30:21

That seasoning is the best. And what kind of seasoning again, pickle and garlic? It's a dill pickle seasoning from Urban Accents. Okay. It's good. Off to try it.

SPEAKER_01 30:31

They're not a sponsor either, by the way.

SPEAKER_02 30:32

No.

SPEAKER_01 30:33

So, but yeah, you know, speaking of going to go into the movies, um, movie, yeah, they have movie theater uh candy and stuff like that. I don't like the dots.

SPEAKER_02 30:43

No. No, I don't like those either.

SPEAKER_01 30:45

And I'm not really a big gummy bear guy because they I don't uh the texture of it and stuff like that. And jello the same way.

SPEAKER_02 30:53

I don't like jello. See, I'm more of a pudding person. Putting chocolate chocolate pudding.

SPEAKER_01 30:59

See, we're old school.

SPEAKER_02 31:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

And that's what it is. I mean, because you know old school.

SPEAKER_02 31:05

I was told that the other day by Troy that I'm an old school wine drinker. Because he let me taste one of the new wines that we were getting in. It's like it's it's good. You know, it's just not something I look at. You can go, that's because you're old school. I'm old.

SPEAKER_01 31:22

How in the hell was that old school?

SPEAKER_02 31:25

I guess I just like the normal.

SPEAKER_01 31:27

No, I mean I mean, what's I'd like to know his reasoning why that's over.

SPEAKER_02 31:30

I should have asked him. I guess maybe because they do so much more to the wines now, and maybe it's just like basic wine.

SPEAKER_01 31:36

I don't know. Where's Troy from? Does he work there?

SPEAKER_02 31:39

Yeah, Troy's actually like the head man, he's the one that orders all the wine.

SPEAKER_01 31:43

Oh, is he?

SPEAKER_02 31:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:44

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 31:46

So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:47

And then he says, oh, yeah, you're old school because you're like this. Why, because they have all sorts of like mango and shit in it?

Movie Candy, Pudding, And “Old School” Wine

SPEAKER_02 31:53

No, just um, they just do so much different things to mines now, and that's why I keep on the like take at school, you know, not like take a school, but take a class. Take a school on the wine just to kind of figure out the different things, you know. I mean, I say that I'm a wine drinker, but I can't tell you what the taste is or anything like that. Like people always feel like these big words when they start drinking wine, oh, it tastes like this, or has a little bit of this, or it tastes like it's like, well, I just I like it right now.

SPEAKER_01 32:22

So yeah, there you go. Yeah. And that's the way it should be, right?

SPEAKER_02 32:25

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:27

What happened to your like painting sip or sipping paint or whatever they call it?

SPEAKER_02 32:30

Actually, Tam and I were talking about starting to do that again because I've had customers ask for it. So yeah, it was really fun. It was a lot of fun. The only thing is, is you know, now I'll go to drink there because we're not allowed to drink there any longer. But that's okay.

SPEAKER_01 32:42

They should make an exception. I like diapers. They should make an exception for that.

SPEAKER_02 32:47

Oh shoot, man, I'm hitting out the top for and I'm gonna put that in there. And then you burn the first batch and then you gotta throw it out because I didn't do the scrape shit, you know. And then okay, it's like scrape as a child.

SPEAKER_01 54:49

Yeah. We didn't have very many ice cream trucks back home.

SPEAKER_02 54:52

Anyway, I think I remember my kids doing ice. I think maybe we got one or two. I mean, it wasn't my kids growing up.

SPEAKER_01 54:59

You know what else my mom would do? She would get hamburger and then, you know, and then she would wrap it in foil and put it in the freezer.

SPEAKER_03 55:06

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:07

In foil. And then I look where I lived at was hot, it's just as hot as ratting. Okay, in in southwest Oklahoma. And then we knew we were gonna have something with hamburger because she would put it out on the freaking ledge outside the window, outside, to thaw. That's how she would thaw the meat. Stick it up. Well, hell man, it didn't take long.

SPEAKER_02 55:28

Yeah, especially in the foil.

SPEAKER_01 55:30

Yeah, especially in the foil. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 55:35

You sleep in there and cook it, right?

SPEAKER_01 55:37

She might have done that too. I don't know. But she was like, yeah, uh here's dinner, we'll just slice it off. Right. And then then we'll put a piece of cheese on it. Yeah. I never had a real grilled cheese that melted probably until I was 18.

I don't know.

Parenting, Speaking Up, And Smoking Norms

SPEAKER_01 56:04

This is magic. When you couldn't, you know.

SPEAKER_01 56:30

So she's gonna drive so she's gonna buy pickles and eat it with cheese, and then she's gonna make a cheese sandwich and put syrup. Wow. I never tried it. I that doesn't sound good.

SPEAKER_00 56:41

Me and my best friend, we used to make a sandwich called an MR sandwich for Misty and Rayette. Oh, and we would put ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese, pickles, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, like everything on that sandwich. And we would eat them.

SPEAKER_01 56:59

But did you like it?

SPEAKER_00 57:00

SPEAKER_02 57:03

Huh. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 57:05

SPEAKER_01 57:16

SPEAKER_01 57:26

That's awful. It just sounds awful. You know, I never tried anything like that, but I don't know. No. Yeah. Maybe I thought I had the, you know, thought I had the balls trying different stuff, you know, but not chocolate on a cheese sandwich.

SPEAKER_02 57:45

I would eat chocolate on a cheese sandwich. I would try chocolate on just try it now. I will. Definitely. Yeah. Make like a half a sandwich or something to try it.

SPEAKER_01 57:54

It's probably for me gonna be one of those two or three o'clock in the morning things again.

SPEAKER_00 58:06

And then drizzle a little bit of Hershey syrup on there.

SPEAKER_01 58:10

SPEAKER_03 58:18

I feel like we I might go try it.

SPEAKER_01 58:20

Or we or or you know what else we did? Well, you know what else we did with that? We've like squirted it into milk, and then we stirred it with a spoon, and then we we drank chocolate milk. We didn't do cheese sandwiches, we chopped them.

SPEAKER_02 58:34

So you think you're just getting your chocolate, your cheese. Cheese is good for your chocolate. Like dinner and dessert all in one.

SPEAKER_01 58:41

Yeah, well, seems like that's out of sequence. I kind of like those separated.

SPEAKER_02 58:48

Separated.

SPEAKER_01 58:48

Yeah. I'll eat uh grilled cheese sandwich and then I'll have a boob snickers. For dessert. Okay. We'll do something like that.

You can give those like at just at the grocery store now, kind of be calling something else. Yeah. I'm gonna come.

Dangerous Heaters, Plastic Runners, And Tough Childhoods

SPEAKER_01 59:55

What I what we do is we finally uh out of, you know, we're like So old now, but and didn't learn this in the first place. Is the first Girl Scout you see, you buy the cookies from. Okay. And so that way, if you're going out of the grocery store and they have all these, you know, uh, you know, chocolate cookie drug dealers outside.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:18

Then you then you go, Hey, I'm sorry. Oh, we we've already got some, but thank you anyway.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:23

And you're not lying about it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:24

SPEAKER_02 1:00:29

Not saying how many boxes, but we buy them one time.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:33

And then that's it. That's it. Yep. That's what we started doing.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:37

Because it's legalized drug dealing, is what they do.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:39

Otherwise, you're buying like four boxes from this one and four boxes from this. Because they're so cute. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:44

They are.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:45

So they just started doing that. The first one gets our money, and that's it.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:49

We have um these little kids come in to work and they sell um tamales. Oh yeah. I don't even like tamales. I mean, I like Mexican food, but I still like tamales. I like the tamales. They're they're good, but I there's not something I eat. Yeah. But I don't know, like 10 of them.

I always tell my family that when I die, I want you to um, you know, create mate me and spread me over Taco Bell and play the sophomore yet and smoke me when I die. My husband gets so mad at me. You're not serious. Yeah, that's exactly what I want to happen. I don't want anything all emotional. I just want you to spread my ashes over Taco Bell because that's my favorite place to eat. Damn. Taco Bell. Yeah. Yeah. That's my favorite fast food anyway. I mean, when I go to Romex, they did have like the Camoles.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:29

Yeah, that's my favorite. That's our favorite. That's the people there are great too.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:33

They're yeah, really nice.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:34

And then they make such good food.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:36

Yeah, really good food.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:37

And then, you know, but fast food restaurants, only only when we're on the road, it will go only go to McDonald's. And the only it's not just because we like McDonald's food, it's like, yeah, because it's okay. It's not great.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:48

Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:48

But I love their iced tea and it's only a buck. And if I'm if I'm driving on the road for long distances that way, I get the tea.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:55

Yeah, that's true. My Taco Bill. Because they had Pepsi.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:02

Well, they do have Pepsi. I like that blue mountain dew that they got. But isn't it Baja Blast or something like that? It's kind of good.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:12

I can't like it. I'm I'm a diet Pepsi person.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:16

Yeah with Snickers. With Snickers. Unfrozen.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:22

You have to freeze the Reese's.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:25

See. But I love all the kinds of Reese's. I love the pieces. I love all that stuff. They're great.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:30

Yeah. Yeah. You know, peanut butter chocolate's your jam.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:33

But I don't eat candy all the time. It's just like I it's like a mood thing. It's it's only like well, Halloween for some reason. Yeah, Halloween, because it's there's candy all over the joint. And then that's one I eat most the time I eat candy.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:47

Other than that, I don't I don't eat a bunch of candy.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:53

If it's there, I'll eat it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:56

That's why I try not to keep it in the house because I that's what that's why I don't keep a bunch of tater chips in the house. Because I'll I'll you know, I'll go through a bag.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:06

That's my husband. He he will eat a whole lot of goritos within an hour. Just sit there and watch the TV. That's it. Yeah. You don't even realize it one after the other. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:15

And you're like, oh shit, I'm down to the crumbs.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:17

And that's how I'm gonna do it.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:18

But then you then you turn the bag up, you know, up to your mouth and shake it out and get all the rest of it. You know, and that's the way it works. That's why I don't keep it. Or we try not to keep it.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:30

Right. But then more in the summertime, I think, because we do cookouts and barbecues and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:37

So we tend to always, you know, you throw a bag of chips out there to munch on or whatever. Yeah. I feel like we have more around during the summertime.

Cereal, Peanut Butter Toast, And Melt-Proof Cheese

SPEAKER_01 1:04:45

Yeah. Because we can't throw cheese out there because the cheese we buy melts. So we can't have cheese outside in the summertime. Oh yeah, well, so if I should ask my mom, hey, what kind of cheese did you get? Because we're gonna be putting it outside. We're gonna need to check it out. We don't we need we need a non-melting cheese to put in our you know, uh meat and cheese drink.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:09

So probably the generic cheese at the store that you used to be able to get. Like uh you know, like like the cat food that just says cat food. Yeah, it's a cheese.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:21

Yeah, it says cat food.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:23

Cheese. Cheese or beer.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:26

You know, like the white packaging. Yeah, yeah, like it's not real cheese.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:34

No, I know. It didn't melt. I know it's not real cheese.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:38

It stood at attention like the national anthem was playing 24-7.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:43

Have you ever seen Dairy Queen or ice cream? It doesn't melt. I mean it melts, but it's not like it's weird. Have you ever seen it? Like a a blizzard when it melts, when you just leave it out. Mine melts. It really? Mine maybe just like real thick still.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:06

Did oh, another thing, okay, like ice cream. Like my mom always got us like ice milk. Have you seen that ice milk, the fake ice cream that's ice milk?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:14

SPEAKER_01 1:06:15

Oh, nasty.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:16

SPEAKER_01 1:06:17

Nasty. I don't like milk anyway.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:19

I I'm not a milk person.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:20

And then they go, you know what I'm talking about with ice cream. Yeah. It's god awful. I mean, it's like s it's like shards of fake ice cream. And it and I don't even know how to I don't even know how to describe it. Uh you know, you you can't it doesn't you know if you take an ice cream scoop and it it won't describe it.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:38

SPEAKER_02 1:06:41

It just comes off in like in like shards. Yeah. Really?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:44

Huh.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:48

Not good. Never heard of it. Good.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:50

It's cheap. It used to be like super cheap. So that's probably why she got it. She probably got it in the cheese aisle.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:57

Yeah, they probably had it. They probably had uh uh uh yeah, one of those in caps right across from the frozen food there. With the ice milk.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:06

So did you guys ever drink powdered milk? Yeah, yeah. I never but I've heard a lot of people. I guess I'm wearing baking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:14

Nope, we didn't drink powdered milk, believe it or not. They actually got us real milk. And back then it was like just all you had was like whole milk.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:21

That's what we had. Vitamin D whole milk. And my mom would go and buy and freeze it because we got some structure.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:28

Well then you got ice milk, not for the skin.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:30

We got ours from the farm down the street.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:32

You walked in and you opened the refrigerator, and you put your however much it was, maybe a dollar or two, in a big jar, and you took a gallon jar of cow's milk so unpasteurized, like they just milked it.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:53

And then we took it home, and then we scooped the cream off and we put it in a in a mason jar and we shook it till we made butter. Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:02

Who was the first person that goes, I'm looking at this cow? I think I'm gonna squeeze these pink things and then drink it. Who would have thought about that?

SPEAKER_02 1:08:13

Well, yeah, or grocery stores and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:16

But I mean they had somebody had to think of it first.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:18

Sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:18

They didn't know the cows had milk in them.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:21

Well, when their babies were drinking. When the baby cows were drinking.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:26

Maybe. I guess that's true.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:28

SPEAKER_02 1:08:31

Baby cows.
