Hey everybody, it's Mackenzie. And I'm Zach.
And we do not have Harper today. She's sick,
unfortunately. It will soon. Yeah, I think she
has a cold. She has a sore throat. And what else
did she say? I don't know. Stuffy nose. Yeah,
stuffy nose. Something like that. Sounds like
allergies. She's dying, clearly. Or she just
doesn't want to be here with us, which is also
fair. So yeah, that's us today. That's probably
what it is. So it'll be a shorter episode. She's
recovering with soup in Minecraft. That was my
remedy I gave her with soup in Minecraft. But
she said she got soup. But even so, she still
posted some events for us to talk about today.
So she's doing her job. Still working, even when
you're sick. Yeah. So yeah, how's your day, Mackenzie?
Great. Yes, today was the cap kickoff. Yeah,
it was really fun. The karaoke, best thing I've
ever seen. This cotton candy's pretty gas. The
lemonade was really good. I liked that. Yeah.
And I got it for free. Yeah. Kona ice for free,
too. Yeah. And I could have got a free taco,
but I ended up leaving. But the line for the
taco was really long. I think I just heard somebody
enter. No, that was the back door. What was it?
I always, cause we're like right in the middle
of like eight different doors. So I never know
where they're entering from. I guess you're turned
around. I saw her walk by. Yeah. It sounded like
it came from over there. Sometimes it does. It
does sound like that, but yeah. Kev kickoff was
today successful. I didn't really get to do much.
I was busy, but I got cotton candy from our editor
in chief. He. If you remember him, he was just
a reporter last semester. But then now this semester,
he's our new editor in chief. He's awesome. And
he is French, so he doesn't like our cotton candy.
And to be fair, it actually just doesn't even
taste that good. Is it different in France? I
guess so. I don't know. I want to know how it's
different. He was going on a whole rant about,
like, what is blue raspberry? It was funny. No,
that's actually valid, because what is a blue
raspberry? It's just raspberry, but blue. It's
the same flavor. It is. Trust me, I will pick
blue raspberry over raspberry any day, just because
it's blue. Because they don't taste the same.
But they do, technically. I don't know. But anyways.
Yeah, so I got cotton candy for free. I saw.
a couple of stands that were still out there.
They were still doing karaoke by the time I got
here. Yeah, I pulled up and I'm hearing stuff.
I'm like, I thought they were supposed to be
done it too. I think they were just letting people
continue karaokeing because why would you stop
the vibe? I should have went up there. What would
you have sang? Paramore. Anything Paramore. I
don't know. Still Into You or All I Want It.
All I Want It. We can't sing. No, we can't. No.
No copyright. Yeah. No, it's a pretty good day
so far. Like I said, shorter episode today, just
because we're out without Harper, and we're still
trying to figure out stuff. And this is still
an audio -only one. But we should actually be
starting up next week, maybe, with video, if
not the week after, because we were talking,
or I talked with Mike, our advisor, and he's
definitely working on it. So be ready for video.
That'll be fun. Nobody responded to my message
the other day, and it kind of made me, it was
sad. I was getting off of work at Walmart, and
I saw that they have craft foam pumpkins. So
I literally was like, we should all carve pumpkins
as an episode, because why wouldn't, that would
be awesome. Would it not? It would be fun. And
then we can put them around the pod room. That's
true. And then it'll be like a little Easter
egg in each episode. That's true. We said the
same thing for like the art canvases, too. That's
true. Yeah, me and McGunsy went to Five Below
the other day. And Marshalls. Right? It was Marshalls?
Yeah. Or Home Good? No, it was Marshalls. It
was Marshalls, yeah. Practically the same thing,
though. Practically. But yeah, we're... Figuring
out some like furniture I have cotton candy in
my mouth. That's probably not a good idea on
the podcast, but yeah, I that's why I was like
I probably shouldn't eat the starburst Okay,
that's the last piece of cotton candy. I'll move
the bag if you can hear it. Oh there goes the
phone So you have you have blue raspberry cotton
candy and it's not even blue raspberry though.
What is it? They're all actually I don't know
if they taste the same. I thought they were all
the same flavor. Well, there's like And they're
all just different colors. Because there's like
rainbow cotton candy in them. I've only been
eating the blue, so let me try the pink to see
if it's any different. I said I was done with
the cotton candy, but now we're doing this scientifically.
Tastes the same? No, that's definitely strawberry.
Actually, are they the same? I don't know. Wow.
Wow. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that.
Galessio. Yeah. You know, you can die when you
sneeze. Wow. Wow, dude. You didn't know that?
That's too far. Can't talk about that on the
pod. That's too far. Yeah, you know, cut that
out. Nah, I'm keeping that. Bloopers. So we're
just going to go over some events that are, because
things are finally starting up. You know, the
CAF kickoff was officially when things start
starting here on campus. The first thing I'm
gonna talk about, there is currently, until the
14th, which is this Sunday, so you have a few
more days to do this, there is a tote bag design
contest for students. Looks interesting. The
description is, here it is. Now is your chance
to have your very own design sold at the bookstore.
Starting now and running until September 14th
They are hosting a design contest for the Cavaliers
just any student at JCCC There's a QR code and
there's also a link for like a form to fill out
so if that sounds interesting which it does because
Imagine like selling your own design at the bookstore.
That would be sick. I would be walking around
with that everywhere I actually kind of need
a tote bag, so I might, if the design's cool
enough. They had some, they had some that made
the calf kick off. Well yeah, but if this design
is really cool, then I'm definitely gonna buy
it. Because tote bags aren't expensive. They're
five bucks, if. I got a really cute one from
Burlington, I think. I have one from Disney World.
You know how long this has been since I've been
to Disney World? I've only been once. I went
all the way back in 2017. But yeah, if that sounds
interesting, literally just look up JCCC events
and it's pretty much at the top because it's
a current event. So I know it's a little shorter
notice because you only have a few more days,
but people can make art pretty fast if you haven't
done that. Or if you have. Continue doing it.
Or just submit something. I guess, yeah, it doesn't
need to be something new if you have something
that you would want as a tote bag. But yeah.
Mackenzie, what did you have for us? Well, for
anybody looking to get active, there is drop
-in yoga in the gym on the 15th. And it starts
at 4 .15, and it ends at 5 .15. And it's for
all JCCC students. Just bring your ID. And you
if you I mean if you like yoga or you've never
done yoga I think it's yeah a really good like
drop in. Yeah, just try it out cool little beginner
thing I love yoga. Yeah, I did some We did chair
yoga in my class yesterday. Yeah chair yoga Now
did I feel refreshed after it not really but
experience it was an experience No, because the
chair I was in was, in fact, I think it was like
the same chair I'm in right now. Actually, no,
it wasn't. It was one of the ones that can be
lowered and doesn't have arm rests, I think.
But the back was so wide that I couldn't, a lot
of them had your hands go behind your chair.
And so I really couldn't. Also, the lady who
was instructing it, every time she was like,
okay, now bend forward, she would go all the
way down. And everybody else in the class was
going like, how is she doing that? It's probably
because she does yoga every day. Right. If you
want to do that, you might want to drop in yoga
class. Drop in at the gym. Yeah. And this, I
think yoga is like a weekly thing. It's every,
what day is it on? What is the 15th of Wednesday?
No, 15th is the Monday, right? Yeah. Because
it's the 10th. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's an every
Monday thing. I think it's every Monday. No,
that might be a lie. Well. This is Thursday,
September 11th. Okay, well then... If you like
yoga, it's a reoccurring thing. So hop in whenever
they're doing it. Next one, which is on Monday.
Unless they're changing it this year, this should
be a thing that happens every Monday. The D &D
club. Don't know if this is their first meeting
of the year, or if they've had one before I don't
know if they had one last week, but Yeah, they're
starting back up. I play D &D with my sisters
I had a lot of different friend groups do it.
I have done online D &D so like It's fun. Have
you done D &D? I don't remember I have not not
here. Yeah, and I'm plus I did the article on
the club here, but yeah I used to play with my
brother and the rest of my siblings. No, it's
fun. It depends on who you're playing with and
what kind of story you're wanting. But if you're
just wanting to have fun, you can do a lot with
D &D. They've got easy playthroughs. Yeah, I
know. What is it called? I can't remember. Dungeons?
Yeah. Yeah, I know they have modules is like
the real word for full stories. But I know that
the club here is pretty welcoming to new players.
So even if you've never played before, just check
it out. You never know. You might find a new
passion. It's pretty fun. I haven't played in
forever, but I still have my. I'm a forever DM.
So I still have my. Character on their little
website. Oh, yeah, D &D Beyond. Yeah. Yeah, it's
fun. I have no clue what I am, but I wrote a
whole backstory and some people didn't like my
backstory, but it's fine. Some people didn't
like my backstory. I don't know if we talked
about this before the show, but I'm going to
say it there on Tuesday, September 16th, the
day after from 1130 to 1230. In the calm, there
is a dental hygiene clinic. It's just professional
cleaning. You can get your teeth professionally
cleaned for $10. And it goes to community members,
students, and staff. Yeah. I mean, go get your
teeth cleaned. Why would you not? For $10, dude?
Like, if you actually need it, that's a nice
deal. Right? And you know how much it costs?
I do it a lot. I might go. I don't get my teeth
in. Good idea. There's also the African and Caribbean
Student Association bake sale. Oh my god. We
were talking about this before. I want to go
so bad. That's Wednesday of next week. Yep. And
it's going to be 10 AM to 2 PM. So I can still
go to class. We can go. Dude, I want to go so
bad. I love pastries. Have you ever had African
or Caribbean food? I think I've had like a little
bit every now and then like just from different
restaurants where they have like different kind
of you know styles of food but I've never like
gone to like a specific like restaurant or anything
for it now but like oh my god it looks so good.
I've tried a couple Kenyan foods. Oh nice. Yeah
since my sister married a Kenyan man. So, it's
pretty good, honestly. Yeah, I would assume so.
Like, what is it? I know they have different
kinds of food, obviously. So, for the bake sale,
if it wants to load. Oh, they also have drinks
at the bake sale. Yeah. Dude, I'm so going to
this. OK, it says a hibiscus drink. and it's
called, I'm not gonna say this right, I don't
feel like I am, but it's called Bissap. I think
that's what it's called. Yeah, I have no idea
what that is, but. Yeah, and then samosas, I've
heard of that before. I've never gotten the chance
to try them before, though. But those. I think
those are the triangle things, right? Yeah, and
they can have. I think I've had a few. They can
have different things inside of them. Yeah, no,
they have like savory ones, they have sweet ones.
Like, oh my, dude, we are going. Speaking on,
actually, sorry. Yeah, that's on the 17th. Going
back one more day, just another club on the 16th
from two to three. There's a history club meeting
in the OCB 142. So yeah, if you like history,
check that out. I actually do really love history.
It was one of my best subjects in high school.
Really? I mean, I enjoyed history, but. Better
than math. I actually enjoyed math. That's crazy.
The only thing of math I enjoyed was trigonometry.
Yes, I enjoyed trig. Because, like, shapes go
woo. I hated geometry, but trigonometry was actually
really easy and fun. Geometry was just, I don't
know why it was so hard. I hated geometry. I
don't know why it was so hard. Prove that this
is a triangle. No. Why? Like, it has three sides.
Prove that this is a circle. It's a circle. Exactly.
It doesn't have any sides. That's a circle. Or
an oval. Just don't mess with me. Well, it's
like one side, I guess. I guess. Oh, do you want
to mention the one that we were talking about
that we were excited for? Or I was excited. You
sounded excited for this one. What was it? I
don't know. I already forgot. The tournament.
Oh, the Smash Bros. tournament? Yeah. I don't
even see it on the list. Really? OK. On September
17th, from 11 to 1. 11 a .m. To 1 p .m. In the
GEB 151 there is a super Smash Bros tournament
I'd assume it's probably just on It's like a
switch one. Probably it's probably smash ultimate.
Mm -hmm, which is the newest one that came out
but because that's like the easiest one for them
to provide but yeah, dude, I Would not be able
to go to that but I Love Smash Bros Have you
played? Because you sounded excited. I think
I've played Smash Bros once. Once? Yeah. Just
once. That's crazy. I've played all of them.
I mean, I've played games similar to Smash Bros.
Oh, there's a lot. Because there's so many. But
like, what is it? Brawlhalla? Brawlhalla. I was
thinking of that one. I used to play that a lot.
That one's pretty fun. But I actually don't like
Brawlhalla. I haven't played it in like, Years,
but when I didn't have a switch or didn't have
like a Nintendo and that was the closest thing
I can get to Smash Bros. I was like, oh, this
is great Tell me you don't want the same console
for an extra hundred dollars But there's charging
ports on both sides Mackenzie Oh my, I just want
to play Animal Crossing. New Horizons? Yeah.
I bought that the day it came out, because it
was during COVID. That's all I want to play.
I want to walk around, build my town. My friends
used to make fun of me. Why? Because they're
like, why are you playing Animal Crossing? I'm
like, why do you care? Why do you not play Animal
Crossing? Exactly. I love Animal Crossing. I
will play any kind of cozy game. Buck is my guy.
I don't know any other character. Buck's the
green. I don't know what he is. He's like a green.
long neck like horse or something. What? Yeah,
dude, he's my guy. He loves like lifting weights.
He was he's my homie. He's my number one. The
only one that I know is that one character. Is
it? Well, yes, everybody knows. I know her, too,
because of the she's married to the guy from
Halo. That's true. She is married to Doomguy,
technically. And everyone is like, it's canon.
I'm like, what? This is actually canon? I kind
of love that. I think it is. It's awesome. But
no, I'm talking about he's a business owner.
Oh, Tom Nook? Yes. Yes. I was about to say look.
Everybody knows the scammer of all scammers.
Yeah, and everybody hates him, but I don't know.
I kind of like him. He's funny, but he steals
your money. Yeah. Hey, oh well, I guess I don't
know I Played on my phone. They had it on my
phone. Yeah I Used to play a lot of my phone
when you know It was popular and now nobody really
plays on their phone. Yeah, same would like Pokemon
go Okay, nevermind, I forgot I play that. I'm
an avid Pokemon Go player. Still? A dude. Every
day. I haven't played. We have a gym at Walmart,
so I get free stuff every day. I go, so why would
I not play? Plus, I have multiple friends there.
who play it more than me and have so many things
that they're just like, yeah, do you want this?
I'm like, yeah. It was like a whole takeover
when it came out. Yes. I love that. I wish stuff
was coming out like that now. I was a day one
-er. Yeah, well, I think part of the reason that
it was so hyped is because it was the first of
its kind. It was like, dude, you can look around
with your camera and play a video game. Yeah.
And now it's kind of like, oh yeah, VRs exist.
Which they did exist when Pokemon Go did come
out, but they weren't as good as they are now,
even remotely. I remember talking about the VR
all the way back in seventh grade. because everyone
was watching Sword Art Online. It was like, oh
my gosh, I want to be in the game. And they're
like, you know, like all the gaming stuff, they're
trying to come up with a VR, virtual reality,
a headset. And I'm like, you guys are going to
get stuck in the game just like they did on SAO.
Honestly, I'd be OK with that. You know, I'd
be totally OK with that too. Yeah. No, technology's
come. A long way, and Pokemon Go is now very
outdated in a lot of ways, but it's still fun.
I bet it is. I haven't played in so long. I mean,
it's just basically you just catch the Pokemon
you like, and they do a lot of events. Oh my
god, they do so many. It's hard to keep up, honestly.
Yeah. I mean, I wasn't always into Pokemon. I
was more into UEO. Can't relate. I've been a
Pokemon kid since I was six. Like, even my mom
will confirm. I mean, I've watched the movies
and stuff, but I was never going to sit down
and watch the whole show. That's not me. That
wasn't for me. I was like. Cards, games, show,
movies, all me. Yu -Gi -Oh, who was that? My
blanket I've had as a tiny child. I would get
up every Saturday morning just so I could watch
Yu -Gi -Oh and Sonic. That's true. Wait, which
Sonic? Sonic X. I think it was Sonic X. Because
I've only watched a few Sonic shows. Sonic Underground?
Have you heard of that? I think I have. Dude,
genuinely the best Sonic ever. It has the best
theme song. The characters are so funny. The
action, I think, was all right. Is Sonic Underground
the one where they're all on that island? No,
their mom got taken away. Because it was Sonic
and he had two siblings. And their mom. got taken
away or something. I don't remember the plot
very well, because I was literally a tiny child.
But that theme song will stick with me till I
die. Oh, this. Yeah, no, I've never watched this.
I don't know which one I was talking about, though.
I know there's Sonic Forces, Sonic Boom. Sonic
Boom. Sonic Boom, they're all on that beach or
whatever. Yes, because that one's 3D. That one's
hilarious. That one's 3D animated. And Sonic
Underground's an older show. I think it's from
either early 2000s or 90s. It is Sonic Boom,
right? Yeah, there's Sonic Boom. Wait, am I losing
my head? Is it Sonic Boom or is it Sonic Prime?
Well, you should have known this if you were
a Sonic fan. I know, right? Like I said, I was
only up as a kid. I haven't sat and watched Sonic
in a couple years. But I mean, it was really
just mostly Yu -Gi -Oh. Plus, I had the Yu -Gi
-Oh game on my PSP. Yeah, I'm old enough to have
a PSP. So I had the Yu -Gi -Oh game, and it was,
I don't even know what version it was. Yu -Gi
-Oh. Five, 5D? I don't know, I've never played
a Yu -Gi -Oh game. It's five something, I know
it is. I had Bakugan on my Wii. I never had that.
Dude, that was fun. No, I never had that. I mainly
played Lego games, though, because my mom was
more strict with what games were rated, and so
just easy games for her to get me was Lego games,
because they were all Lego. Lego Batman. I played
Lego Batman, all of them, almost. Isn't there
a new one? Yes, they're releasing a new well,
they announced it I don't think it's not out
yet, but they did like announce a new one that's
coming out I think it's just called the Lego
Batman Played Lego, Indiana Jones one and two
all the Lego Star Wars, dude. Those are my childhood.
Do you ever watch? I lost the plot when they
stopped Caring so because I remember watching
it on Netflix kids when that was a thing Like
it was a completely different like thing. Yeah
And then they took it off or they stopped like
releasing new episodes. And so I gave up I still
fit I caught up with it, but Last thing like
last big thing. I remember is like Finally them
beating Lord Garment on the Lloyd's father. Yeah
And he was all grown up. But now they're still
doing the show and there's three different ninjas.
And I don't know what's going on, nor do I care.
I haven't watched this since I was a kid. I can't
remember anything. It was a good show. I literally
can't remember anything. But I always see clips
of it on TikTok, always. Yeah. And it's always
hilarious. Yeah. No, it's a good show. I might
need to see what's going on with it, though.
I think that's kind of it for like big like events
and stuff until next week because there's obviously
more stuff that's coming but that's kind of it
for this week but still a few things we didn't
mention so just if you're interested and want
to do something around campus literally just
go to like the events page on the JCCC website
yeah they literally just have like a list of
stuff to do so Yeah, there's a lot around campus
that you can do Yes, definitely check out all
the clubs because there's a lot of them and they
were all here at the cap kickoff like so anything
really like I don't know. I don't know if I can
say that We are 27 minutes in almost so we've
done a lot of talking about clubs. So now we
can I think just kind of relax for 10 minutes
and just kind of talk about what's been going
on in our lives. Anything big? I'm just working,
dude. I tried the Bulldog cheese thing. Oh my
god. Oh, I need to tell you about the one I got,
too. You go first, though. Very hot. So which
flavor did you get? It was, um. What color was
it? Yellow. OK. It literally just said cheese
on it. So some back story. When we went to Five
Below. They had like Bulldog Ramen. If you guys
know it, it's just like a, people tend to say
fancier version of just Maruchan Ramen, which
it is. Is it really fancier though? It's like,
it's spicier. It's better in my opinion. Well,
here's the thing. So, did you add all of the
packet of the sauce? That was your issue. Actually,
I made two, two packs of noodles, because I made
them for me and my sister, and we put. Both packs
of sauce in there. Oh my god. Okay, so also another
thing I tried the cheese the other day Because
I got it from five below and I was like, I'll
let you know how this is It was Oh my god, it
was so bad. It was so bad It did not taste good
in my opinion. It doesn't taste like cheese.
No, it does not taste like cheese You need to
try the pink one the carbonara. I did I didn't
like that one. Okay, but did you try it? I think
somebody's actually in here now. I'm worried,
Bulldog. Like, the, okay, I don't understand
the yellow one, the cheese yellow one, I don't
like it, but the carbonara is technically cheese.
Yeah, but. But it tastes so much better. It doesn't
taste like, I just don't like. Don't add all
the hot sauce though. I seriously add like a
few drips. Okay, okay, I learned. My lesson,
okay, I made it again yesterday, and I put in
like four or five drops of the sauce in there.
Yeah, it was still a yellow one. And it was delicious.
I mean, it was delicious when I had it the first
time. It was just way too hot for me to eat,
and I had like heartburn. It was bad. You don't
make it soupy either, though. You drain out all
the water? I do drain the water out. I keep usually
a little bit in because when you put in the powder,
it kind of like sucks up the moisture a little
bit. Yeah, so I do keep it in. I also threw in...
a slice of cheese, because I was like, it's not.
It tasted the same. It didn't taste like cheese.
I like the taste of cheese, okay? Even though
I'm lactose, okay? I like the taste of cheese.
Yeah, most people who are lactose -like dairy
products anyways. Yes, yes. But that one slice
of cheese did not do anything. That's weird.
Like usually, if I do it. Was it just like American
cheese? Yeah. Try mozzarella. I have. That changes
it. I didn't have any, though. Specifically string
cheese mozzarella. I don't know what they do
with that string cheese mozzarella. It melts
better. They do. And it's also stringier, obviously.
See, I know my answer now. It's stringier and
it melts easier. There you go. And mozzarella's
just, I love mozzarella. True, me too. I don't
think I'll try any more of the bulldog noodles.
They're all spicy. I will make you. Don't know
how or when or like where I'm gonna do this,
but I will make you my pink bulldog ramen The
way that I make it good And it'll change your
perspective. Trust me. I will put crunchy onions
on the top And I'll put chicken stock in it.
Uh -huh. And it will change your life The chicken
stock is a very good idea. I see a lot of people
do that. It adds so much flavor, dude. I literally
when I made the yellow pack I was like I need
I will never eat the yellow pack again. It was
so bad. I need something cold in there. Because
it's so hot. Oh, I've done it with an egg before,
too. Yeah. I've put egg in it. I've also put,
I don't know what cut of meat it was. It was
pork, I think. But I just had leftover pork.
And I literally stuck it in the boiling pot of
noodles and let it cook in it. That was genuinely
the best bowl of ramen I've ever had. I mean,
I've. I don't think I would add the egg, because
most of the time, they make the egg, but they
don't fully boil it. And I don't really like
it like that. I don't like to eat my eggs runny,
personally. And I tried to do it in ramen with
a fully boiled egg. Worst mistake ever. Do you
want to know what I do? Do you want to know what
I did? And I was hesitant about this, because
it feels weird. But if you literally just crack
the egg into the pot, it'll cook it. You don't
need to hard boil it or anything. Yeah, but I
want it like. Well yeah, and you can still, you
can still cook it long enough to do that, because
I did that the first time I did egg in it, and
I was like, oh, because I do like runny eggs,
but it was not runny. I was like, oh, dang it,
but it was still good. It's preference. I don't
even know. I just went to Junior Ramen the other
day, and I got the chicken ramen. Very delicious,
I pick them up. But they don't add an egg in
that one. Really? Yeah. Do they put nori in there?
No. They don't, which I should have asked for
some. What do they top it with? There's like
a... Have you tried corn in ramen? Do you like
corn? I'm not a big corn fan, but I know that
I've tried corn in ramen. It's so good. I know
that I have. I've had so much ramen. I don't
know, though. In the chicken ramen, there's like...
I don't even remember. Those are like bean sprouts?
Yes. Okay. Yes. Shallots? Yes. Those little...
The mushrooms. What are they called? Mushrooms.
I think they're mushrooms, are they not? Mushrooms?
If there was mushrooms in it, I never would have
got it. Sometimes they put mushrooms in it. See,
now I have to go look at it. Yeah. Well, ramen.
Ramen. Let's go to Junior Mike. It's so good.
I don't know if Jinny's good, but ramen's so
good. It's a comfort meal of mine. I literally,
when I went to Austin for a weekend, we ate at
Jinny Ramen every day because it was right outside
of right here. Is Jinny Ramen national? Is it
what? National? I don't know. Probably. The first
time I ever saw a Jinny Ramen was in Dallas.
And then I saw it. in Austin, and then they brought
it here to Kansas. And I'm like, ooh, bet. So
is it just another thing that Kansas stole from
Texas? You know what? It might be. That's funny.
We're not these. Well, I don't know. We kind
of took over their barbecue. We got a Whataburger
now, and we got a Junior Ramen. It is better.
It's Kansas City barbecue, OK? It's not Texas
barbecue. I'm sorry to all you Texas. people
out there, I will be moving there one day, but
Kansas barbecue is way better than Texas barbecue
100%. I was watching a video where it was, it
was black people and white people, it was like
two black people, two white people who all cooked
barbecue. I just watched that. I don't remember,
was it Jubilee or something? No, no, no, no,
it's not Jubilee. I don't remember what the channel
was called. Dude, but it was so fun because one
of the guys His ribs he didn't put any sauce
on there. Mm -hmm He's like trust me this dry
rub. It's gonna change your life Listen a good
dry rub can be good, but it will never be great.
It's cocoa butter. I Think that's what it is
Yes, it's cocoa butter because they have another
one on here and they're trying by people see
food boils Yeah, it's cocoa butter. And there
was one guy, and he was so upset that nobody
else was saucing their ribs very well. And he
had sauced his, but his were just sweet. Everybody
was saying that they were all just sweet. And
I'm like, I personally want the savory. Ronda
was the one who made the best one. Yeah, the
lady. Because she had the very stereotypical
good outdoor family barbecue. That's what it
looked like, too. Yeah, it was on a frigging...
The paper plate, too. Plus, it had the barbecue
chips, it had baked beans, it had a rib, it had
a roll, and it had potato salad, I think. It
was everything you could ever ask for. I don't
think anybody else had a roll. I don't remember
seeing that. Yeah, I don't think anybody else
did. I think she was the only one that had one.
The one guy who was dressed as a chef. Yeah,
the one who had the worst meal. It didn't look
good. No, it looked terrible. It looked like
he was trying too hard. Right, and the way he
was talking. I'm sure it was good. The way he
was talking, it sounded like he was a professional
or trying to be a professional chef. I don't
even know. Here's the thing. I would have demolished
all four of those. Don't get me wrong. But when
you're hyping up your barbecue that much and
then it looks like that. Man, oh my gosh. You
gotta do some rethinking. Dry rub is not the
way to go for barbecue. He was complaining too
about how every rib had sauce. He's like, I hate
the sauce, it's so sticky. And I'm like, shut
up. Then you don't like to eat barbecue. Because
obviously you gotta get your hands dirty to eat
some ribs. That's why they give you those moist
towels. That's why they come on bones. Yes. It's
the handle. Now I want barbecue, I'm hungry.
I don't know if I want barbecue ramen or something
else. All of it together. Barbecue ramen. Imagine
a barbecue ramen. You ever had birria ramen?
Oh my god, I did. Dude, I got it from a food
truck. That's what I need. Changed my life, dude.
Because I'm upset. I tried it at the mall. Worst
mistake ever. It wasn't good. No, I got it from
a food truck. Little bit south of where I live.
There was like a like a town like festival and
there's a lot of food trucks and You know what?
There was a whole like food truck festival in
Kansas City back in like August and it was like
Mexican food trucks It was like like a like a
taco festival or something like that. I think
that's what it was called And like they were
offering drinks and like they had the food. I'm
like, I really want to go. I want a I want some
burrito tacos, burrito tacos like. Yeah, it's
so good. Oh, my God, burrito tacos. If you haven't
tried them. They're heavenly. Literally the best
taco. If you want some good ones. Well, I mean,
the only ones that I've had that I actually like
are the ones from Abelardo's. Those ones are
really good. I don't know if you've ever had
that. Is that off of Santa Fe? Yeah. Yeah, I
haven't had that there, but I have been to Abelardo's.
I like their tacos. Not even just the birria
ones, just like regular tacos. Like those are
good, too. There's a food truck close to where
I live, which I'm not going to out. But there's
a Mexican food truck, and they have birria tacos.
And the times I went in high school, where the
amount of times. When I was when I was off for
like 30 minutes to get lunch for theater like
when we were doing like a late -night theater
things at the high school And we had like a dinner
time and I'd go there dude Was your favorite
kind of meat because I guess I lingua I'm a d1
chicken hater. I'm sorry. I don't really chicken.
It's cuz I don't really eat beef Have you ever
had lingua? Lingua? What is that? Cow tongue.
It sounds bad. And you're asking me if I've ever
had it before. But it's so good, Mackenzie. You
have to trust me on this. No, thank you. I think
I'm cool on that. I think you're just a loser.
No, I think a lot of people would not want to
try that. Actually, I think you're wrong. Like
actually, not even being mean. I think it's a
very popular meat. That sounds disgusting. You
just have to not think about it. It's too late.
Don't, they were always sold out of it, though,
too. That's the thing. So it is popular. You
ever had duck before? I don't know if I've had
duck. I've had frog. I've never had frog. It's
unique. It tastes like chicken. That's just the
standard answer, though, and I don't like saying
that, because it doesn't really taste like chicken.
I don't like that answer, because they say every
other meat tastes like chicken. Yeah, anything
that isn't pork or beef tastes like chicken.
Exactly. Or lamb, I guess. Lamb is lamb. I actually
like lamb. OK, I've never had good lamb. Not
to out my mom, but she got lamb from Costco this
one day, and she didn't season it or something.
I don't know what happened. It was vile. It was
vile. It was either a bad cut. She didn't season
it or cook it properly. It was disgusting, dude.
I couldn't eat it. I've had lamb a couple times.
Wow. Yeah. Hold on. OK. Yeah, I've had lamb a
couple times. And each time I've had it, it was
grilled on a grill. I've never had grilled lamb.
I think she crock potted it, which probably made
it bad. No. You are not doing it justice. You
gotta put it on the grill. It's so good. It's
so good. Oh my gosh. I'm like, how do you know?
I don't know how to explain it. See, now I just
want tacos, ramen, and barbecue. We just turned
into a fruit pie. I'm telling you, look, Junior
Ramen got tacos, don't they? See, now I want
the pastries too. from the thing. We gotta go.
What is it, the 17th? So yeah, a week from the
10th to the second. No wait, Wednesday? 10th,
wow. Wow. 10 a .m. to 2 p .m. I think is what
it was. Yes. The 10th to the second. What was
I trying to say? It was gonna last over an entire
month long. I think you were trying to say 10
to two. That's what I was trying to say. Anyways.
Yeah, we're kinda nearing the end of the podcast.
