Prep for a busy week with Whole Foods Market.

Start your day with fully cooked breakfast sausages from Amy Liu,

365 brand frozen waffles with no bleached flours,

and of course Whole Foods Market eggs, which are all cage-free or better.

In the evening, bring home a build-your-own-family meal that feeds four for just $35.

Choose one entree and two sides.

Shop smarter, not harder, at Whole Foods Market.

Meet the Red Bull Dragonberry Energizer.

It's one of the many new drinks out now.

Who knew ice-cold drinks could be so fire?

Try them all, only at McDonald's.

So I've got this right.

Flat repairs or replacement if needed.

Rotations and rebalancing every 5,000 miles.

All included with the tire purchase.

You back it up.

All right.

That's fine.

Everyone has something they hate.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

I don't like beets.

Oh.

I kind of am in agreement with that.

I think I probably like the flavor of beets.

It's like potato... Like, you know what? It's more like a rutabaga. It's very... Is it like a square turnip? No, it's not that. You know what? That's a throwback for people that have been listening to us for a while. Heck, yes it is. By the way, you know I live and breathe by my Facebook memory page every day. It's the first thing I look at. Okay. Because now that I'm not drinking Coke anymore, I need to have something to look forward to in the morning. By the way, made it through the weekend. Did not have a Coke. You did? Yeah. Congratulations! Did have a cherry Slurpee. Does that have caffeine? No. None caffeine. Okay. Great. Great job. But it has some sugar, but it's not a Coke. All right? Okay. All right. Great job. I am extremely proud of you. Thank you. Thank you so much. So, you don't like the cold open. So, this is if we had a cold open. And by the way, define, if you would, what a cold open is and what show is made it famous. No production whatsoever. You just launch directly into content. And what show made it famous? What? I don't know. Saturday Night Live. Oh. That makes sense. Yes. Yeah. I don't like a cold open. All right. What if we warmed it up a little bit? Here's our lukewarm open. Okay. And do you remember when I used to broadcast under that name, Luke Warm? I don't. I don't. Yeah. It was my old DJ name. Anyway, had we done a cold open, here's how it would have started. Have you ever been called old? Not in so many words. I have. Uh-huh. And most recently this week. But first, let me go back to other conversations I've had with young youngsters at various places. I mean, of working age. I'd say low 20s. Okay. Old enough to work. Not old enough to retire. They can buy cigarettes and beer. They can serve in the military. So that's good. They can go to a vape shop. They're all of age. Okay. So one time we were having on the Mike O'Mara program, Sean Greenwood from Ben and Jerry's. Great, great guy and great ice cream. My favorite ice cream brand. Uh-huh. And he came in studio and he brought pints and pints of ice cream. And it was great. And he had coupons and pens and notepads that said Ben and Jerry. And he handed them out to all the workers around. And someone said, can I have a pint of ice cream? I said, yes. Just don't take the Cherry Garcia. That's my favorite. And they said, hmm, dad flavor. It is, though. Why? I don't know. It just. And then I said. I swear I almost said it. It just sounds vanilla. But I was like, I'm glad I stopped myself. But then I was like, you know what, that was just dumb enough to say out loud. Yeah. Are you kidding? If I had that ready to go, I would have done a cold open. It just sounds vanilla. Yeah. Well, I said, well, I mean, that's not all I buy. I also buy Chunky Monkey. And by this time, someone else had come by and they both said dad flavor. What is in Cherry Garcia? Everything I want in an ice cream. It has dark cherries in halves, halved black cherries. And also, and I think there is a cherry essence to the ice cream more than it comes from the cherries. But it's essentially a vanilla base with some cherry and then chocolate chunks. And anyone who's ever had it knows that Ben and Jerry's has the best chocolate in ice cream. Period. The chunks of chocolate have the exact balance of dark and milk and melting point. It's just, and I've talked to this guy, Sean Greenwood from Ben and Jerry's. His official title, Grand Poobah. And I said, Sean, the chocolate is the best. It really works with the mouth feel of the ice cream. He said, wow, you really do take it serious. I said, yes, you don't get fat by not paying attention. Anyway, so. So it's cherries and chocolate in a vanilla base. Yeah. I would say, I think it's a, I would definitely call it a dad flavor. Okay. What about banana? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know why I think. Yeah, please, please. Okay. A couple of reasons make it a dad flavor. One, it is probably the most name recognized of the Ben and Jerry's flavor. It's a classic. It is. It is. Yes. Very much so. Also. Like Franco-American or Chef Boyardee. I would say the combination of black cherries and dark chocolate. Now, not black cherries, just dark red cherries. Well, you said black cherry two seconds ago. Well, I didn't mean it. How about that? Okay, fine. I misspoke. Dark cherries and like a dark chocolate chunk. Those are going to skew for an older, more refined palate. It's almost like these kids have never had one of those chocolate covered cherry candies. Now, ew. That come from. The wax. Yes. Yeah. That I can envision like men bringing back from World War II. Gross. I wouldn't, I would not choose Cherry Garcia. Okay, would you choose an ice cream that was banana flavored? Never. Not overwhelming. I don't need an, I need, don't say less. I never. Okay. Do you think a dad flavor consists of an ice cream with a light banana flavor that has walnuts? So good. English walnuts. And the chocolate chunks. For this is Chunky Monkey. It's banana flavored? Sure. It's a monkey. Oh, I guess a Chunky Monkey. I see. I see. So what else is in it? So it's banana? Well, it's a banana ice cream. Uh-huh. With chocolate chunks and English walnuts. And by the way, before you get mad, the walnuts are shelled. They don't have their skins on them. I broke a tooth on my ice cream. Ow. It hurts so bad. Yeah, that's a total dad flavor. Okay. So what is, can you come up with a Ben and Jerry's flavor from the top of your, you can't because you're not fat. You can't do it. It's not in your skill set. No. What about the caramel core? What if an ice cream, this is another one I like. Well, I have. No, listen. Okay. Half chocolate. Okay. Half vanilla. Which half? Left or right? The question would be top or bottom. Oh. Durr. Durr. Because if it's left or right, you can turn it 180 degrees, which is way too hot for ice cream. Oh, tell that to Twix. So. But in the middle. They built an entire campaign on the left or right. In the middle, there is a core, maybe an inch in diameter of caramel. Caramel. And they do a great job with caramel. And it stays caramelly, even in the most frozen of conditions. And the caramel, it enhances the vanilla, but it also cuts the chocolate a little bit. Because, you know, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, too much. It's too much. Right? So I. Are we going to start the show soon? We've been over this. We have been over this. I dare say we talked about it last week. No. I hate caramel. Now, do you remember? We did talk about this last week. We may have, but not in this, not in this scope. No, no. Not in this scope. And so since you hate the monkey and you hate, and you hate the caramel. And the cherry. We're putting that aside. Okay. If you were to see the caramel core ice cream and you say, that's not for me, but. That's a mom flavor. A mom flavor? Not. So what, what flavor are the kids digging? Vanilla. Strawberry. Now, I love strawberry. But you know that kids aren't going out and ordering like a single scoop of strawberry ice cream. That's like, I'm going down to the St. Louis World's Fair for a frolic and I'm going to have some strawberry ice cream. Maybe chocolate chip cookie dough. It has to be more modern, right? Yeah. Well, I think even that's become a damn flavor. Now you're talking. Superman. Mm-hmm. Like a Jimmy Fallon flavored ice cream. Kids love it. What does that even mean? He skews younger. No, but there is a, there is a Jimmy Fallon inspired flavor. I think it's called the Tonight Dough. It's, that's clever. Yeah. It's not a dad. It's not this dad's flavor. No. I'll tell you that. Anyway. So the same person that told me the ice cream was a dad flavor is the same person that I was working with when I was in engineering. And I know I've told this, but it all leads up to a point when I was engineering a series of interviews for the 50th anniversary of hip hop and rap music. And we got to talk to some really cool celebrities in the rap community. And one of them was, we're gearing up and this young lady said, now this guy is very popular for his mashups. Now, Rob, let me explain to you what a mashup is. Oh. And I said, guess what? I know. I may be a little older than you, but I've been listening. And I probably said this, I've been listening to records for a long time. And that's when they brought me my cane. I said, I know what that is. But it did. You know what? That hurt a little bit. Wheel this guy out of here. Let him sit in the sun and get him his dinner by 430. He likes soft food. So this very week, I'm having a discussion with a different employee, but of a similar age range, young, old enough to buy a vape pen. And they complained that they wish they could get up earlier, but they're not a morning person. And I said, well, that's a valid thing. And then she said, because when you get up early, you have more time in the day. I said, yes, the math checks out. That would be great. What time do you get up? And she said, normally about 8. I'd like to get up at 7. And I said, I wake up every morning at 6. And she said, well, old people. And then she said, are you over 50? Hey, but that's great. She didn't know. And you are an established amount of over 50. Well, I asked her, I said, exactly how old do you think I am? How old do you think I am? And she said, 54. And I said, so you knew the whole time that I was over 50? I'm not sure we asked the question. And she said, all I'm saying is old people wake up early. I feel that that tracks, except for my mother. Not that my mother is old. That's right. Someday she will be, though. I take that back. But I got to be honest. Between my stepdad and my mom, I feel that they even each other out. Because he gets up at like 4.30 in the morning. Yeah, I'll never be that guy. Unless my job requires it. But you find that you get into a groove and you wake up at the same time every day. Now, I will go back to bed. But I do wake up at 6. Okay. My mom will sleep. That woman is good at it. She and Carrie should get together and not talk. And not talk. Just snooze. Just snooze. Just snooze. Hey, you want to come over and snooze? Less talk, more snooze. You are not sleeping. And that's why we're here. Now, when I get up earlier, I mean, I do wake up normally about 2 or 2.30. But that's because of bladder-related urgency. Because, again, 54. You mean prostate? No, I don't mean that at all. Prostate's fine. Get it checked all the time. Grown to enjoy it. So, you just have to pee when yo
