When I ran that red light this morning, I had been sitting at that light for a long time. That's why I thought it was just time to go. I just randomly decided for myself, time to go. And I just went. You know what's great? Because I ran that stoplight, I hit all green lights all the way down sunset.
Welcome to episode 86 of Delete This History, a podcast by two besties of a certain age searching for answers. We are your host Cara Burch…
And Brea Brown.
Hi.
Hello.
We are closing in on a hundred episodes.
I know.
It's so crazy!
That's nuts.
I know.
It's very crazy.
I almost said, what do you want to do for that? But then I'm like, I immediately, my brain was like, oh, that's a lot of work.
It's yeah.
Just no extra work.
Plan for the next episode.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what.
I had a Monday.
Oh.
Yeah, me too.
I'm losing it.
I'm absolutely losing it.
Well, it's okay.
I forgot that we got a new tree last year.
A new Christmas tree.
is amazing.
And threw away the old one.
Yes.
Because for years we just had a tabletop tree.
Yes.
And we put the ornaments on it.
And one year we put the ornaments on it and we said, this is good.
And we put a trash bag over it and put it out in the garage.
Because it's just a tabletop little tree.
Yeah.
And so I was like, where the hell is the tree? I know it's in here, I've moved it to get into the storage closet, blah, blah.
Clint's like, I don't know, here's the empty box.
Oh, you still had the box? Yeah.
That's hilarious.
Of course we did.
um And I was like, where is the tree? And where are all the ornaments? And I was starting to panic because we've got ornaments that the kids have had since they were babies.
I have ornaments that my mom...
gave me from when I was a baby, you know, she gave me, she gave all of us our different Christmas ornaments and everything from the years.
We tore apart that closet looking for that damn tree.
And it's not like it could hide.
It was a freaking tree with a garbage bag over it.
could not find it.
And then I found a bin that had all the ornaments, because I want to break all of our ornaments, our precious ornaments, apparently.
Totally forgot about that.
So, I found that thing and I was like, oh my gosh, here's all the ornaments.
Oh, thank God.
And then I'm like, hang on a second.
What's that over there? There was another box.
And I thought it was the big tree and I didn't want to put the big tree up.
It's a little tree.
but it's like a medium-sized tree.
that you bought last year? Yeah, that I bought last year.
Did you buy that last year after Christmas? No.
You used it for Christmas last I it for Christmas last year.
Whoa.
Yes.
I'm losing my effing mind.
Wow.
And then I found the Bombas socks that Santa brought me last year.
Everybody got Bombas socks from Santa, AKA me.
We use Santa sacks, so we use like big like um body pillowcases sometimes, or um I've got these like canvas sacks so that I don't have to wrap presents.
I mean, I have gotten to lazy master level, okay? But it's also more sustainable, because we don't wrap presents, we don't use gift bags even, we just use these and we use them every year.
Well, I was getting those out, getting them ready.
I was gonna separate out some gifts I've already gotten.
I feel something in one of them.
I'm like, oh, this is mine.
Pull it out, what do you think it is? The freaking pair of bomba socks that I've been accusing half of my family of having.
Please go check your dresser one more time.
Please go check.
I swear somebody has my socks.
I remember when she texted me on Christmas day and said, Everyone got their bomba socks but me.
Mine are gone.
They're missing.
She was really upset.
Because they're amazing.
Yeah.
stories.
What about your stories? Do you have any grandma stories? Yeah, I do.
I have one.
This morning, I was going to work and I left in plenty of time.
I was really proud of myself.
I wasn't down to the wire.
I was going to get a good parking spot.
And I got up to where I make the turn, you know, to go my normal way.
And my brain was just like, no, I don't want to go the normal way to work.
I want to go a different way.
And I absolutely could not make myself go my normal way.
I just couldn't do it.
Yeah.
So, how long did you sit at the stop sign? Like not long.
Oh, probably anywhere from five to eight seconds.
I was like, all right, I'm going to go a different way.
and I was late for work.
Oh, because it was a longer way.
It took me 40 minutes.
Oh my gosh.
It normally takes me 25 because I take back roads.
Yeah.
I took the highway.
I got stuck on division because a train had gone through.
Oh my gosh.
And I couldn't get into traffic.
I couldn't get into traffic at a stoplight.
So, I just got back on the highway and went to Chestnut.
It was just as bad.
It might as well have been a train on Chestnut.
It's because by that point, It was the rush hour traffic.
Yes.
And so I was screwed all over again.
It might as well have left work, left home late.
I sat in traffic so long, just sat, sat, waited.
And I was like, all right, it's a good thing I did this.
I was late for work, yes.
But this is a good reminder as to why I go to work the way I do.
That will start your day off real wrong.
I was feeling real great when I got there.
Yeah, I mean.
I was like, Yosemite Sam like rick-a-frick-a-rick-a-rick-a-rack-a-rack-a-frick-a-rack.
So, annoyed.
Happy Monday.
Everybody who came to your desk turned right back around again.
Never mind.
Yeah.
Yeah Anyway, yeah.
Hey, would you like to play a little game? Yeah, I do.
Okay, let's play Search me This is where we ask each other one trivia question from our week's internet searches.
Yes, okay, Brea I Certainly hope that you have watched this year's holiday version of the British baking show I never watch the special ones.
It's so good.
Is it? There's two of them.
And the first one, have it's celebrities.
Yes.
So, like one year, I think they did the Dairy Girls.
Oh, I did watch that one because it was the Dairy Girls.
And it was a very good one.
Yes.
Well, this time they've invited soap opera stars from Britain.
like East Enders.
Yes.
One of them.
Oh, I can't remember all of them.
I can remember EastEnders for whatever reason.
It's funny.
Yeah.
And it's really good.
So, watch that one.
But the second one, they invite back former contestants who are Scottish and they have a Scottish Christmas.
Just Scottish people.
I love the Scottish people.
It was an amazing episode.
told Sean is one of the best ones I've ever seen.
So, do yourself a favor and watch it.
OK.
Now.
in that same vein.
Brea, your question today is from that Scottish baking show.
What is a crannican? What is a crannican? I've looked this up before.
Does that mean I know it? No.
know.
Oh, I don't know.
It is a traditional Scottish dessert combining four key ingredients whipped cream, fresh raspberries, toasted oatmeal, honey, and Scotch whiskey.
That's five.
Whipped cream, raspberries, oatmeal, honey, Scotch whiskey.
Also no cranberries? No, no, no.
It's raspberries, but it's called a crannican.
Right.
Okay.
Originally a celebration of the raspberry harvest in June or August, a crannican was an 18th century breakfast dish made from crowdy cheese, cream, oats, and honey.
However, the modern version is typically served as a dessert for special occasions like Burn Nights or Hogmanay.
Oh yes, Hogmanay.
Which is the Scottish celebration of New Year's Eve.
It's commonly served in individual glasses layered like a trifle to show off the distinct components.
Fast fact.
Christmas was legally banned in Scotland around 1570 and because of that Hogmanay became became the primary winter festival.
And they talk about Hogmanay in the British Baking Show.
Oh.
And it's hilarious.
Like it's a big deal.
Yeah, I would imagine.
You have to watch this episode.
It is great.
OK, I guess I will.
My sources were the Great British Baking Show, National Trust for Scotland and thescotsman.com.
All right.
Yep.
Well, how about we stick to that part of the world.
Yes, let's stick to that part of the world.
Okay.
Your question for today is, in Ireland, m what is stuffed soda? Is it A, I'm gonna give you multiple choice.
That's nice of you.
Is it A, a drink? B, a sandwich? Or C, a cleaning product? I'm going with What was A? A drink, a sandwich, or a cleaning product? I'm going with a drink.
Is it a sandwich? Oh, dang it.
That was my second choice.
It's a sandwich.
More specifically, it's a breakfast sandwich made by cutting a griddle-cooked soda farrell bread into two halves and filling them with breakfast ingredients like sausage, bacon, and eggs.
Now, soda farrell bread, if you're wondering, is a round of soda bread dough cut into triangles which are called farls.
Farls.
Yeah.
I didn't even think about soda bread.
That is so dumb.
DERP.
when I, I don't know, just because where we live, soda is a drink.
Yes.
Yeah, it is.
Um, where did I hear that? Um.
Who knows? Oh, I was watching a um cop show called Blue Lights, which we will hear more about later.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
All right.
Well, oh wait, I'm sorry.
What? My sources? Oh yeah.
My sources were Google Gemini, curious cuisiner, cuisiner, cuisiner.
Say it one more time.
Curious cuisiner.
I think that's it.
Okay.
Good job.
And Wikipedia.
Cuisine-a-nare? No idea how to say that word.
I think they made it up.
I think that's something you and I share.
We don't know how to say that word.
Okay.
All right.
It's time for Shared History.
This is where we tell you, our DTH besties, the most interesting thing that we learned this week.
Hey, Brea.
Yeah.
Do you know what a ferrant is? A ferrant.
P-H-O.
 R-O-N-T.
Oh man, my brain is just not working.
I can't even come up with anything clever to say.
Well, you just sit back and relax your brain.
I'm going to.
And I'll let you know what this is.
Painful.
A ferrant is a small animal that uses a larger animal for transportation.
Why do they do this? Why are they hitching rides? It allows them to reach new habitats or resources without expending any energy.
This interaction is called Foracy.
Foracy, foracy.
Unlike a parasite, a ferrant does not feed on the host or damage it directly while riding along.
It simply uses the host temporarily to move from one area to the other.
Once the host reaches a suitable environment, like new foods resource or a nesting ground, a ferrant just hops off.
Would you like to hear some examples of some ferrants? Well, is one like...
The sharks that have the little fish that hang on them? Or are those parasites? That's different.
But I will come to that later.
You're on the right track.
OK, so I do want to hear some examples.
I want to picture this.
OK, one mites.
Oh.
Tiny mites attach themselves to the backs of carrion beetles or bees to be transported to fresh food sources.
Pseudoscorpions.
These are tiny.
arachnids that grab onto the legs of larger flies or beetles with their pinchers and catch a ride to a new home.
By attaching to a larger, more mobile host, the ferrant can escape bad conditions and colonize new resource-rich habitats that they could never reach on their own.
So, while I was reading this, my brain went to the same place yours did, and I started thinking about sea life.
or like the birds that ride on the hippos.
Like I wanted to know more about that.
And so I asked if there were large animals that are ferrants.
Because these are gross so far and I want to picture something cute.
Well, I'm afraid that you're out of luck.
Dang it.
There are some aquatic animals that do the same thing, but they, these are generally the only ones that are examples of quote large ferrants.
Because water supports the weight through buoyancy.
So, a large host like a whale or a shark could carry a fairly large passenger without noticing the extra burden.
On land, gravity makes it too energetically expensive.
So, land ferrons tend to be microscopic.
I see.
Makes sense.
Yeah.
However, here I've got a few things to say about marine forestry here.
Okay.
The sucker fish.
Yeah.
It can grow up to three feet long and it has a modified dorsal fin on top of its head that acts like a massive suction cup.
It attaches itself to sharks, rays, whales, and even sea turtles.
biologists will often duke it out as to whether or not this is actual forsy because Foracy implies travel only.
Yes.
However, the sucker fish often eats crumbs left over from their hosts' meals, or they eat parasites off of the hosts' skin.
So, because they get food out of the deal, some scientists classify this as mutualism rather than foracy.
Oh.
However, the primary reason the sucker fish attaches itself is to move long distances.
so it doesn't have to do the swimming.
oh So, that's its primary reason, is transport.
So, if you're ever in a bar with biologists, do not bring up sucker fish, for a sea versus mutualism.
Right? It could cause a real brawl.
Don't, just don't say anything.
I mean.
It gets better.
m Another example that is close to forestry in the marine life is amphipods on jellyfish.
Now, DTH besties, if you're eating right now, I suggest pausing this until you're done.
I'm gonna give you second.
Okay.
There's a group of crustacean called hyperide amphipods.
They're small shrimp-like creatures that often hijack jellyfish or salps, S-A-L-P-S.
Fast fact, SALPS is a barrel-shaped planktonic tunkit that moves by contracting its gelatinous body in order to pump water through it.
Okay.
Some hyper-eyed amphipod species will completely eat the insides of a salp, hollow it out, and live inside the floating barrel using its body's buoyancy to travel the ocean while raising its young.
inside the gelatinous shell.
Nice.
Talk about recycle reuse.
I will eat you and then use your carcass as a home.
Your corpse becomes my car! Your corpse becomes my RV.
So, I mean that's kind of forcey, but dark.
Yeah.
It's kind of dark.
Yeah.
My sources were breadguides.com, Wikipedia, marinesanctuary.
org, and curiousspecies.com.
Now what started this journey? I couldn't even begin to tell you.
Really? I just don't even know.
I think I vaguely remember seeing the word ferrant somewhere.
Oh.
or hearing it on something I was watching, I don't know.
I just looked in my searches and I was like, oh, what's that? So, there you go.
Cara leads a wild life.
You really do.
And that's some great nightmare fodder.
I can't stop picturing the floating gelatinous barrel body in the ocean and all the microscopic things are just like, come to dinner's ready.
uh Get in here, stop, stop hitting your sister.
How many times have I told you no phones at the dinner table? All right, so my search this week that I'm actually going to expound on, expound, expand? I don't know.
Is about the Northern Irish Police Department.
OK.
I've been watching a police procedure called Blue Lights.
There's three seasons of it.
um I started watching the first season a long time ago and I was like, oh, I don't know if I can get into this.
But then a new season came out and then I got FOMO really bad.
Like, why is that? You see a new season, you're like, well, if they're still making seasons, it must be good.
And like it's BAFTA Award nominated.
And so I was like, I guess I'll give it another try.
And it took me about three episodes to kind of get into it.
But anyway, it follows, it's a drama.
It's not like a reality show or something.
But uh the story follows some officers in the Northern Irish police and it's called the PSNI.
So, the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
uh And in the show, the people are really paranoid about just regular civilians knowing that they are police officers.
Like their neighbors, their everything.
They check under their cars.
Oh my goodness.
Before they get into them, which becomes a plot device.
em There's all kinds of like subterfuge about being a police officer.
Okay.
And I was like, what the heck is that about? So, I asked why Northern Irish police hide occupation.
I did not want it to be a full question.
And here's what I learned.
They're cautious about revealing their occupation due to serious ongoing threats from dissident Republicans and criminals who view them as enemies, making public identification a potential danger to themselves, their families, and their property.
Wow.
Yeah.
So,.
It's a risk tragically highlighted by a major 2023 data breach that exposed officer details.
So, a bunch of police officers were basically doxxed in a data breach, which is not good.
Now this fear isn't new.
It stems from the troubles and continues today with officers taking extreme security measures like carrying weapons and checking cars for bombs.
Wow.
Yeah.
So, in the UK, um, um Britain, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
um I'm sorry, Britain and Scotland, they typically don't carry guns.
They don't carry firearms.
They have tasers, have pepper spray, they have other batons.
But the Northern Irish police, they carry guns.
But they're tethered to their belt.
Oh, oh, that's interesting.
So, it's like a zzzzmp.
 Like a lanyard or something like that.
It's like tethered to their police belt and on a zizzy cord.
Oh my gosh.
Whatever that's called.
And yeah, so that somebody can't take it off of them.
Wow.
Yeah.
Pretty interesting.
That is interesting.
I that was a great, I was like, that is an awesome solution.
that had to have been a problem.
Of course.
order for them to have to do that.
But it's a problem here.
Is it? Oh yeah.
Police are always like very careful about don't let somebody get a hold of your gun.
Well, I know that, but is it, are there guns taken all the time? Yeah.
I'm to need to see some data on that.
I've never heard a single news story where someone's let tech officer Sam's gun.
I'm sure.
I'm sure it has or maybe the Northern Irish police are just really paranoid about it.
Oh, maybe And they know it's a possibility and they don't want it to become a problem.
It's great proactive move.
I love it.
I love it too.
And then nobody else can get a hold of your piece.
know what I'm saying? I know what you're saying.
Okay, so if you don't know what the troubles are for those not familiar, watch the Dairy Girls.
No, I'm just kidding.
That is not really a historical like source, but but watch the Dairy Girls anyway Yeah, cuz it's good And they talk about it, but this was a time when Irish and Northern Irish Who are British? Subjects those factions were basically at war with each other from the late 1960s until 1998 Unionists and loyalists were mostly Ulster Protestants and wanted Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom.
Irish nationalists and Republicans who were mostly Irish Catholics wanted Northern Ireland to leave the United Kingdom and join a united Ireland.
but this was not considered a religious conflict.
It just was like a coincidence that they just fell into those two groups, I guess.
I don't know.
em So, the secrecy is crucial with police in the PSNI because of terrorist threats.
So, armed Irish Republican groups target police, seeing them as symbols of the British state.
making officers vulnerable to attacks, ambushes, and violence both on and off duty.
Man.
Yeah, right? We already talked about the data breach.
uh Family safety, so the risk extends to officers' families with fears for their safety and potential targeting.
And uh the Police Service of Northern Ireland evolved from the Royal Ulster Constabulary after the conflict known as the Troubles.
uh which is a legacy that fuels ongoing hostility and danger.
So, they were kind of rebranded.
were, you know, turned into a group after the Troubles.
I would love to know where the Troubles, like that name came from.
Like, is that just what everyone called it and it just stuck? Yes.
That's a term that's used.
It's like a euphemistic term.
Like they didn't want to call it a war.
They didn't want to call it, you know, whatever.
So, they just called it the Troubles.
em So, here are some of the consequences of exposure.
Officers often live with heightened security checking for booby traps and may even have to move house for safety.
They're trained to be discreet and are drilled to protect their identity to avoid becoming targets.
In essence, being a police officer in Northern Ireland carries a real risk of violence, making discretion about one's job a matter of personal and family survival and not just professional practice.
How do you get anyone to become a police officer? How? How would you even convince them to do that? Yeah, just something that somebody wants to do or like their, it's a family tradition or I don't know.
Some of them on the show are less worried about it than other people.
Some people tell the people, obviously the people closest to them, but they don't wear their, their uniforms home.
They don't take their service vehicles home, they don't have any of that.
It's like they get dressed at work in a locker room and they get dressed back in their civvies before they go home.
And they drive their own vehicles and blah, blah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's too stressful for me.
It's stressful for me just sitting here thinking about it, let alone living it.
I can't even imagine.
Yeah.
Now we had a friend at one time who was a former London.
police officer.
And he said that he wasn't really open with people about what he did.
Even there, he would tell people that he worked for, he worked in civil service.
That's he would say.
So, they have euphemisms for what they do.
He just didn't want people to, you know, he just didn't want people generally to know because there's, you know, anti-cop sentiment.
which it's probably gonna get that way around here in the United States.
I don't know.
Although maybe if it hasn't already it won't, but I don't know.
If I were a police officer right now in the US, I probably wouldn't tell people.
I just don't know, because I can't even imagine being a police officer.
It's so far away from anything I would ever do.
I've thought about it sometimes, just because I would love to get into the forensics part of it.
Oh, well, yeah.
You can do that and not be...
Can't you do that as a civilian, though? Maybe.
I would imagine you could.
I would think so.
But I've always wanted to be like a...
like a crime scene investigator.
CSI.
That's, I mean, you could do that.
mean.
And not have to go through the police academy? don't, well, probably not.
You'd have to go through the police academy.
Pay your dues and hit the streets.
Shit.
Walk, walk your, uh.
Beat.
Beat.
Yeah.
You know what I like about the Northern Ireland police? They call each other and people call them.
um Peelers.
Peelers.
So, in the UK, they're often called Bobbies.
Yeah.
And in Northern Ireland, they're called Peelers.
And I love how they say it in their accent.
Because Robert Peel was the person in the UK who started the official police service.
Yes.
Under Queen Victoria's reign or whatever.
I think.
I'm probably massacring.
No, I...
I think that's right.
That sounds so incredibly familiar.
And that's why they call them Bobbies.
But then they've chosen peelers.
Gotcha.
Which does not sound.
Attractive or I don't know.
Well, it's better if you know the origin.
Yeah, if you don't know the origin you are like yeah, right? What are we peeling? Peeling back crime my sources were Get ready.
Okay, politico the Guardian um Cap ex I don't know what that is the conversation calm BBC.com and Wikipedia.
Okay.
The Beebs.
I think that was all of them.
Hang on.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is that enough for you? I think it's pretty good.
Okay.
Good.
But Brea, what about this one? What about it? This is a quick listing of our other searches from the past week that we didn't have time to discuss in this episode or were just too damn boring.
You're boring.
How many times do have to tell you? So, boring.
How friggin boring you are.
Cara, what's your list? Here it goes.
What is Wild Turkey Wednesday? Do you know what that is? When you just drink all day? Apparently, it's when people get drunk the night before Thanksgiving.
Oh, that would not be good.
It's a thing.
Like, it's a thing.
And I saw a newspaper article.
with the Springfield police were saying, hey everybody, please be careful on Wild Turkey Wednesday.
And this has been a, it's been a thing for a while.
How do I not know about this? This is the first year I've ever heard of this.
Because that is a terrible idea.
It's terrible.
And then I read on, well, I did a little more research.
Apparently like kids are coming home from college.
And so it's a really big celebration or it's a popular time for them to get back together with high school friends.
Okay.
Yeah.
and they go drink.
Okay.
But then to, to like have it organized and called Wild Turkey Wednesday, like, Oh no, let's just call that being dumb.
It's not a great thing, but anyway, because can you imagine? Okay.
So, Thanksgiving with all those different people, all your relatives, even the ones that you're kind of like, ugh, yes.
Um, And then you're hungover? Yeah, you got trashed the night before? No, no.
Pass.
And then all the cooking smells and everything? No way.
Nope.
Nope.
Anyway, I'd never heard of that before.
Just drink a THC soda or eat a gummy.

God, what is her name? Oh, it is rumor though, isn't it? No, it's not rumor.
It doesn't matter.
Wait.
It does matter.
It's not, I keep trying to say Amy.
It's not Amy.
I really want to say rumor now that you said rumor.
Well, see, I thought it was rumor because my next search is rumor Willis.
Yeah.
It's not her though.
Okay, hang on.
I feel pretty.
Oh, don't, that one.
Not I feel pretty.
I have watched Isn't it Romantic though? Romantic.
Yes.
Rebel Wilson.
Oh my gosh.
Rebel, not rumor.
Rebel, rebellious rumors.
Not rumor Willis.
Oh my gosh.
That is really confusing.
isn't it romantic is a good movie.
It's hilarious.
So, funny.
And it's such a great twist on the chick flick.
Yes it is.
And she is so funny.
She gets so mad at people.
Yep.
Anyway, it's really funny.
Which one is, is it Liam Hemsworth that's in it? No, it's Chris.
Chris Hemsworth is in it.
Oh, I thought it was Liam.
I thought it was the Lesser known.
He is.
It's Chris.
Oh, is it? Well, let me just confirm.
I thought it was Chris.
Oh, shit, it is Liam.
He looks like Chris.
They're interchangeable.
They're all the same.
There's a third one, too.
It is Liam.
Oh, my gosh.
I thought the whole time it was Chris.
That's hilarious.
I just knew it wasn't Thor.
Betty Gilpin, isn't it? Oh, yeah.
I her.
Jennifer Saunders is in it briefly.
Briefly, like 30 seconds.
I was so excited.
I was like, oh, I love Jennifer.
And she was just, it was just a cameo.
uh Sad.
Sad face.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Also a great movie.
Modern Love and Melissa McCarthy.
That's it.

But there's a balloon behind her and it's an ice agent.
Oh no, that's just so wrong.
It is so wrong.
Did you notice that the Thanksgiving Day parade was heavily Latino this year? Um, no, cause I didn't watch it.
What? I never watched it.

I'd rather watch golf.
I hate it.
Oh my gosh, it's such a, I mean, I don't sit and just watch the whole thing, but I come in and out.
Yeah, you have it on in the background.
baking, you you gotta have the parade on in the background.

They had tons of Latin singers.
Oh good.
I mean, it was heavily, I loved it.
Excellent.
It was great, I have to say.
That's awesome.
Anyway.
The meme did make me laugh by the way.
I just want to be transparent with people.
It did make me laugh.

And Heather told me about it.
My sister, Heather.
And it is funny.
Really? Yes.
I don't think I can make myself watch it.

and it's filmed like a mockumentary basically where they're following these people around.
It's freaking hilarious.
Her husband is so funny.
The coach, the coach's husband who's also a coach.

Now we did hear from Colleen and she had no idea what a kagool was.
Oh, I didn't see that.

And I was like, oh snap.
She knew.
Oh my gosh.
How did you see one? And I saw one, but we didn't both see them.
That's all that matters as long as we get them all.
Yeah.
Colleen said, Hagool? Three question marks.
Must be a different, must be a regional word.
There's lots of different words for things in different parts of the country.
Timothy calls a waterproof jacket at a rain mac.
Oh yeah, like a mac, like a Macintosh or uh is that what they're? I have absolutely no idea.
I don't want to buy one.
You are gonna get so many ads for raincoat jackets Macintosh.

Do you know what I did last night? I baked a brie inside a puff pastry.
Did it work? It did work.
It wasn't as good as I wanted it to be though.
I feel like the puff pastry got in the way of the delicious cheese.
Oh no.
But we also baked caramelized onions inside of it too.
Oh yeah.
Oh my gosh, it was so good.
We just ended up peeling the puff pastry away and just eating the cheese and the onions.
It was so, that was our football food with miniature meatloaf.
Oh, how cute.
It was good.
I don't remember what I ate.
Oh, I ate some apple slices and some cheese slices.
That makes me sad.
It was Colby cheese.
it was really good.
But apples and cheese, that's what I had for dinner.
There's nothing wrong with that.
You know, sometimes you just don't want to mess with it.
understand.
You're like, ugh.
I messed with it.
Like, just put food in my home.
It doesn't have to be fancy or good.
It just has to be easy to make.
So, I just used that apple slicer thing, sat down and just shoved apple slices in my mouth while I cried watching the football game.
Yeah.
Bye, Chiefs.
Yeah.
See you next year.
