Is that what it's called? WhoBlu. WhoBlu. WhoBlu. What else am I on? The Handsome social media. True, true. I just had six pints of ice cream delivered to my house. Are you jealous? Yes. Why? There's some sorbets in there. Those are vegan, right? Yeah. Sorbet is just fine to me. I'm not like, oh, my Lord, give me all your sorbets. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're welcome to come over for some sorbet anytime you want. I'd rather a vegan ice cream. Oh, okay. That's fair. I like coffee ice cream, mint chocolate chip. Me, too. Me, too. I like. Me, too. God, we are meant to be. We just. We are. It's bad timing. You know? It's the worst timing. Good timing for me, bad for you. Yeah. Yeah. It's just our stars are not aligned, and that's okay. Yeah. It's totally okay. Yeah, I'm digging into some Jenny's ice cream. This isn't an ad. I just got six pints of it, and I'm pretty pumped to put them in my mouth hole. And so you're going to have all six pints as soon as we finish recording? Yeah. Yes. Like, what was it? Home Alone 2, where you had the big Sunday? I love that you think. You have no idea. I love that you think I've seen Home Alone 2. Who am I talking to? Oh, man. Zero pop culture references over here. I just saw Home Alone last Christmas. That's wild. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. And I think Home Alone 2, he gets lost. Left in New York or something at the fancy hotel. Okay. Is it as good as Home Alone 1? Oh, no. Home Alone 1 is a classic. I dated a lady that's in one of the Home Alone movies. Braggart. Who did she play? Do you remember? I don't know what she played. Okay. Most sequels aren't as good except for Sister Act 2. Okay. Incredible. Okay. I am reading. Which one she's in, and I'm reading what she does in it, but I'm not telling you who she is. Okay, fine. Okay, girl. She's in the second one. You know people who are in things. Good for you. No. Why are you saying she's in the second one? We're trying to keep it top secret. She's in the first one. Why are you saying she's in the first one? She's in the third one. Is there a third one? Fortune, don't say that she's in the third one. We're trying to keep it. This is top secret. Is there a fourth one? Don't tell people she's in the fourth one. This is top, top secret. Then I'll stop talking about it, and we'll just get to our questions. We don't love it. Blow up your spot. Give it to us, Thomas. Give it to us. There are six Home Alone movies, by the way. For real? There are six? Don't tell people she's in the sixth one. I didn't know there were six. I thought there were two. A lot of them. A lot of them are straight to video. And it starred Macaulay Culkin? No. Oh, I was about to say. We got different kids. He just did two, right? Yeah. Okay. I met him because I filmed with his wife, and they're both lovely. But wasn't he in the movie Zootopia? Yeah, they both were. He and Brenda were. Two of the Lynxes. But in the movie, they play brother-sister. Ooh. All right, give us a question. Yes, yes. Hey, Tigme and Fortune. My name's Angela. I'm a private chef in Maryland. Lately, I've been experimenting with nostalgic desserts from our childhood, and I would love to ask you, what was something you loved to eat for dessert when you were a kid? It could be something someone used to bake for you, or something as simple. as what you ate in the lunchroom at school. Oh, I mean, we've just opened this episode up with six pints of ice cream. I didn't even know this question was coming. Oh, I've got a. I'm going to look up this one thing I used to love. You can go ahead while I'm Googling. Well, thank you. Thank you. I'll be listening and Googling. You know, the first thing that pops up, which I just had at the delicious vegan restaurant Crossroads here in Los Angeles, but I don't think I was eating the vegan version back in my Mississippi-Texas days, but I do enjoy banana pudding. Oh, yes. Like with the pudding and banana and then vanilla wafer kind of thing in there. Yeah. I love banana pudding. I love you, too. And so, just the vegan version is just as delicious. Really?. if you head on down to Crossroads. Yeah. Mm-hmm. So good. That's definitely a classic for sure. Yeah. I had different. I have always had a sweet tooth, so desserts were my jam growing up. If I was like at school and on Fridays they had ice cream day where you could bring money to school and buy ice cream from their ice cream freezer, you know, it was only like a dollar or something. Sure. Well, I lived for that day. Lived for it. And my go-to back then was the push-up. The. Do you remember this? Oh, the orange? The orange thing? The orange. So, that would have been sherbet. You just take off the top, push-up. Isn't it sherbet? The little plastic thing. Fortune isn't it. Is it sherbet? There's no egg shard in it? No. I think it's sherbet. Sherbet. I said. I've always said sherbet. My bad. I used to as well. And then I learned my lesson. And I've never gotten used to it. But I have to correct everyone. It doesn't sound as good. I know. Well, especially because we know people named Bert. Yeah. And it just makes more sense to say sherbert. You don't even say sherbet. So, that was my go-to school dessert. My. When I got into high school, there was. I loved Baskin-Robbins mint chocolate chips. ice cream. That was the bomb. because this was you know pre like artisan ice cream days there was no fancy right ice cream situation jerry's kind of cracked that world open yeah they were the first one yeah that was considered probably the fancy ice cream yeah back then and then they had something called this is what i had to google they had something that they sold in the freezer section of the grocery store and it was super popular i think it was this came around in the late eight or sometime in the 80s it's called a viennetta and it's a little ice it's like a little ice cream cake um and it got has like ridges and there there's certain listeners i know they're listening right now going oh my god i totally forgot about this thing there was like a chocolate version and a mint version and a vanilla version it was so good and it was i'm reading on here it was invented by a food scientist uh and it said it's scientist that's what this says it says it became a global icon of nostalgic dessert sophistication so it was like back then considered like this fancy thing yeah um now it's not you a fancy at all but that thing was so good yeah it kind of blew my minds as like like early day ice cream cakes okay yummy love it does angela have a nostalgic i bet she does by the way anyone that can cook for a living um that's an unbelievable skill angela i think fortune just asked you out no no my answer is the good humor strawberry shortcake ice cream cake i used to dip them in chocolate in between bites it was oh always my go-to um but thank you so much thanks for always helping me keep it handsome in the kitchen yeah thanks angela no i'll try that sometime good humor that was the early days oh my friend was real fancy they had swan is it swan swanson i don't know which one it was

i want that okay well i'm sure you can hook it up okay what else we got on the dyke it can't stop me hey hans this is emma and cat and we are submitting our question from grand teton national park which is perhaps the gayest of the national parks and we're two people who are going to be at the national parks and we're going to be at the national parks so we were wondering if the three of you were to plan a road trip together what types of activities would you do and what would some of your stops be and we're not going to ask who's driving because we know it's going to be fortune that's right we know this i think that we have this on the list on one of our bazillion things on the list for us to do yeah was a road trip and i do believe in that discussion we already did but we're not going to ask who's driving because we know it's going to be fortune that we did decide i would be driving yeah because may probably isn't great at driving i think may's in the back seat too yeah and i can't see very well yeah so you're definitely not driving i feel like may is in the back seat and is the um one of the group getting us to play car games oh god gross that was a genuine reaction to the car games well because i immediately pictured myself in the car and then somebody chiming in let's play a game and then i was like oh jesus let's just roll on to our destination in silence yeah no chatting i like okay talking listen to music but i don't want the music too loud okay you know i'm thinking about it i'm thinking about it i'm 55 i'm old enough to be in a retirement community so let's not forget this i'm old enough for free sodas i think i'm pretty good on a road trip because i am pretty easy going it doesn't take a lot to ruffle my feathers i love snacks like stopping for snacks is a huge part of my road tripping yeah um i like sort of discovering little local restaurants along the way yeah um i don't mind just like staring out a window or chatting i can do both may and i start fighting in the car are you gonna turn around and like swat us no i would just be like guys let's talk this out let's figure this out what's up okay or i would or i would team up with one of y'all and tease the other okay i'm into that um i remember when i was moving from colorado to california um my friends and i uh we pulled over to get you know snacks before we got out of denver yeah and um we finished all our snacks before we got out of denver i mean truly before we it's like when you're watching the commercials at a movie theater when you're watching the commercials at a movie theater when you're watching the commercials all your snacks before the movie starts that's what happened we were laughing so hard that we were already finished and we hadn't even left denver yet that's hilarious yeah the only thing i am a little particular about um on a road trip coffee you have to have your coffee yeah you know me so well so i will whatever town we're in yeah i'm gonna be googling like best coffee near me you're gonna google it up i'm gonna google it up and usually they a couple of coffee shops pop up and i can most of the time tell by the pictures that have been posted of that coffee whether or not i'm gonna like it um if if there's some sort of latte art that's usually not that i even order a latte but that's usually where i'm going yeah because if they have the skill to do a latte art that's usually where i'm going yeah because if they have the skill to do a yeah chances are it's pretty decent coffee but if i see a picture of like 40 syrups in the background i'm not gonna like it yeah yeah i'm i'm on your side because they're masking yes the coffee with these horrendous syrups i like a snobby a fancy coffee shop me too yeah and that's the only time i want snobby i don't normally want snobby the coffee shop's the only place you're allowed to be mean to me mean to you yeah because usually the mean coffee shops have the best coffee i don't know why it's scientifically proven yeah yeah they're snobs they're little buttholes yeah don't enjoy talking to them yeah you heard me i sure did and i did not appreciate it do not say that again i i will say it they're little buttholes ah she said it again and they'll treat you poorly but then you'll get it a taste of that coffee and i'm like okay well this was worth that toad oh they should call the coffee shop treat me poorly and then they show you pouring coffee that's a good one yeah who wants to invest in our coffee shop so may is not a part of sorry may yeah treat me treat you poorly treat you poorly if you listen if you're lucky enough to find a great coffee shop with nice people yeah amazing but some of the usually the ones with the best ones you got to go in and deal with the abuse it's worth it there is nothing worse than like being on the road and having a a fancy what you hope is the fanciest coffee in the area delivered to your hotel and it is not enrage me yeah should we hear what Emma and Kat have to say? Let's do it. So our answer is that we like to hit coffee shops, go on hikes, and explore lots of cities. And so for our last road trip, we went from the Bay Area of California up to Lopez Island off the coast of Washington, up north of Seattle. And our favorite stop was hiking Infern Canyon, which is up in the Redwoods. Love it. I've never been in the Redwoods. Well, California, California. Why don't we just hang up and you head out? On a road trip. So, no, I want someone with me on a road trip. I'll go. Oh, then you can stop in the Buc-ee's. I don't know. I don't like Buc-ee's. Buc-ee's is fine. I just don't like all the hype around Buc-ee's. It irritates me. God, why? Because it's like, who cares? It's like they have bathrooms. They have snacks. Who cares? Who cares? They're known for having very nice, clean bathrooms, just so you know. Good, but get a life, okay? So we're not going to find you in a Buc-ee's filming content? No. No. God. What a shocker. You're not into Buc-ee's. Buc-ee's? Buc-ee's is perfectly great and fine, but you're not going to find me, other than right now, talking about Buc-ee's. Well, you didn't strike me as their demographic, truth be told. It's a bunch of, also, number one, you're a vegan. That's primarily why I don't think you're going there. So what Oreos are vegan? I'll go in, I'll take. They have rows and rows of beef jerky. They're known for like brisket and pulled pork. Great. Grab what you want. Grab what you want and cork it. I don't want to hear about it. Cork it on your Buc-ee's. Truly. Get a life. Okay. You heard it here first. I think I've talked about it on here. It's the same with those ice cream, yogurt, donut places that all become popular. Everyone's talking about them. Everyone has to go get them. They're like, "I'm going to get them." I'm like, "I'm going to get them." I'm like, "I'm going to get them."
