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.

I now pronounce you man and...

Hey, it's Uncle Jim.

I know you're getting married, but I exposed you to COVID-19 yesterday.

Thanks, but our doctor gave us a prescription for Zicova and Citrovir to have on hand.

It's the only prescription pill approved for people 12 years and older to help prevent COVID-19 after exposure and should be started within three days of exposure.

Taking Zicova with certain medicines can cause serious or life-threatening side effects or affect how it or other medicines work.

Tell your doctor about all your medicines, vitamins, and supplements, as lab tests or dose changes may be needed, and if you are or plan to be pregnant or breastfeed.

Zicova may harm your unborn baby.

Tell your doctor about any changes to your medicines before you start Zicova.

Do not take Zicova if allergic to its ingredients.

Serious side effects include allergic reactions, some severe like anaphylaxis.

Get medical help right away if you have rash, hives, itching, swelling of your mouth, lips, tongue, or face, trouble swallowing or breathing, throat tightness, dizziness, lightheadedness, stomach area pain or vomiting.

These are not all the possible side effects.

Ask your doctor about Zicova.

We're recording!

So I was starting to wonder if I have to restart my computer was actually code for I got a big potty.

No, no, no.

I really, really had to restart my computer.

Would you, in your left hand drawer.

Yes.

I'm not sure top or bottom.

Would you look in there and see if there's a very nice pair of ladies earbud type headphones?

I have extra ear pads for my headphones.

That's good.

Those are very handy to have.

Thank you.

Um, scotch tape.

No, I'm not seeing them.

Oh, but I do have this.

I thought it was in the bottom drawer.

Oh!

Okay.

Oh my god!

Keep that out.

I actually need the horn later.

Why?

I will explain it later, but I swear to you, on my note, it says clown horn.

All right, do you want to begin?

Yeah!

That's live, and what I'm about to play is going to be recorded.

Hey, maybe I can play the horn along with the recorded horn on the logo, okay?

See if you can do it.

God, I hope this goes well.

This is exciting, isn't it?

It is.

Mike O'Meara, Radio Entertainment.

Oh!

Sucked.

That was terrible.

Way out of practice.

I bet this guy gets it right, though.

Cake and cookies.

Rob and Katie.

It's the Rob and Katie Show.

You know what I think the problem is?

It's the Rob and Katie Show. You know what I think the problem is? Is that this horn has a better in than out. Because when I squeeze it, listen. That's the out air. And then when I let go of the bulb. Bulb. It's a little stronger. Now it's, you see, I just proved myself a liar. Now what job is it? I think you fixed it. Yes, because on my list of skills, broadcaster, horn technician. Fixer of horns. What kind of horn is it? Is it a trumpet? I don't do trumpets. I mostly do clown horns and occasional taxi horns. The old-fashioned brass round taxi horn. Bicycle. Maybe. But no walk-in traffic. I have to prepare. Will you come to Spiewak Horn Associates? Not with... That horn is not going to get you customers. No, this is the before horn. Oh. You don't want to... You got to see my after horn. No, thank you. No, my after horn is out on tour right now. It's at the Home and Garden Show at Dallas Expo Center. At the booth. At the horn technician booth. The HTP. That's it. I'm right next to the funnel cakes. Well, of course you are. Well, yeah. Not my first time at the rodeo. How are you feeling? Oh, I feel like... No, don't say that word. It's a horrible word. I'll have to bleep it. Okay, hold on. Let's try that again. Get your horn ready. Okay. How do you feel? I feel like... Okay, before horn. We have to get an after horn. It's at the Home and Garden Show. Okay, okay. Who's meeting the booth while you're not there? Fizbo? No. Linus. Linus is at the Home and Garden Show with a horn around his neck. He's a good boy. All right. Truth be told. Full disclosure. Full transparency. Okay. The Home and Garden Show is not until next week. Oh, okay, okay. We're just setting up. Okay. We have to put up the banners. So you've got time to fix that horn. I do. Yes. And I will. And you have recorded evidence that you... From the before and the after. Irrefutable evidence. No one can question my before horn. So you know what's really funny is that I'm looking at you... Please say something funny. Well, it's not funny ha-ha. It's funny weird. Yeah, that's been the first seven minutes of the show. We're still counting on a funny ha-ha coming from somewhere. By the way, if you're listening to this show, and if you're hearing my voice, you probably are. If you have a moment, please use this time to fill out your horn questionnaire that will be very helpful in the repairing of your horn. It's a simple two-page questionnaire, and we will get it worked out. Robert, what's up? What time will you be finished reporting? Probably in about, at this rate, about 40 seconds. Oh, really? No, no. We'll be done in about an hour. Why? Okay, I just want to play Xbox. You can play Xbox if it's silent. Well, I was going to talk to people, so... He loves that. He loves talking to Xbox people while he plays. We hooked the Xbox into the big TV in the basement, you see. Oh, how do you feel about that? Well, I'm okay with it, because we have a little shared space, but also, it's much tidier, because now it's not being, like, moved around. Because he requires... Oh, okay, the cords and the evident. Yeah, so it looks nice. And he puts his various accoutrement in the ottoman when he's done, so I don't have to look at it. So that's pretty good. I don't mind it. So, how are you feeling? Oh, what's funny? Ha-ha. Not ha-ha. Dan! Oh, I thought perhaps the bride and groom were going to kiss. Honey? Dan! I need a refill. Dan, we need a refill. What's not funny? Ha-ha. Um, you are in Northern Virginia. True. Wearing a t-shirt. Yeah. I am in Savannah, Georgia, wearing a turtleneck and a sweater on top of it. Yeah, the weather has been crazy. Yesterday was, like, 61 degrees here. Well, it was 63 here. But the point is, we shouldn't be tied. We should not be tied weather-wise. And a week ago, it was, like, nine. Mm-hmm. It was hurt your feelings cold. We had the first measurable snow of approximately three and a half inches in Savannah. Which will cripple your city. Since 1989. That's the year I graduated high school. They don't even have salt. They don't even have a salt truck or a snow plow in the city of Savannah. Didn't they use the margarita salt? Ha-ha. Doesn't work the same. Oh. They did, on Tybee Island, take some sand from the beach and put on the roads. Oh, no. But it just created a big mess. Yeah. It's just good news. Now it's frozen mud. It was so cold, it just kept freezing. Uh-huh. So they won't be doing that anymore. Yeah. I mean, sand is good for traction. But the fact is, if it's cold enough, it's not going to, the salt is what you need to melt it. You need the salt. Right. So, yeah. They wound up bringing in, from what I understand, I was not here. Oh, that's right. You were vacationing. I was. I was in Mexico. Yes. Where it was 20 degrees. So they shut, essentially they shut down Savannah from like. You got out the night before, right? Yeah. When we realized like they shut the, they had shut the airport down. Right. And it, there was no chance it was going to reopen. Um, the, the five couples that were going to. You really need, you know what? I, I hate to Pulp Fiction you, but we must start further back, I think. Okay. Because we knew we had touched on the fact that you had Mexico Paradiso vacation in your future, but we never really discussed it. So let's start from square one because there could be people that are not caught up and they need to know that you went on this wild. Um, I believe it was a swinging vacation. Is that how you described it? No, no, no. Five eligible swinging couples. And you all were going to go to swingers Island. Isn't that what it's called? Exactly. Thank you. No, no. Set us up. Tell us about the holiday that was a planned months in advance. It was planned months in advance. We started, um, planning, I think in like May of last year. That sounds right. Laura, one of my biffles here in Savannah lives across the street. Um, she turned 40, right? Um, about two weeks ago and we, we all went to Mexico to celebrate, but there was more to it than that. The place that we went was where one of the other couples got married. Okay. Um, Dan and I just celebrated our fifth anniversary in, uh, wait, when October. That's about right. I didn't want to clap. Clapping seems so pedestrian. I wanted something more fun. I also turned 40 next, uh, in February. Okay. Um, one of the other ladies turned 30. Air horn. What was that? It's an air horn. I'm more sound effects. I'm back. I'm deep into my comedy drawer. You have a comedy drawer. You don't. Did you ever start the show? Yeah. Oh no. I never said welcome. No. Can you, can you welcome people? Sure. Hey everybody. Ew. You know what? It's like a bad air horn and it just squirted air horn juice on me. Yuck. I know. What is that even made of? Hey, it's cake and cookies. I'm cake. Oh, I, it's been so long. I know. It's been a while. Uh, it's cake and cookies, a semi-regular podcast to remind you that your life in comparison is not that bad. Hi, I'm Rob Spiewak, AKA cake. And I'm Katie Von Herman, AKA cookie. And we're tickled to death to have you here. And we're talking about Katie's vacation. Okay. And I have, Oh, and if you're just joining us, like perhaps you just got off an airplane, we have an air horn. More juice. Stop it. It's obviously done. Just throw it in the trash can. And this. That one sounded really good. That was a good one. Yeah, it was. That was a really good one. We just got it back from the shop. You know how you know we're audio people? How? We just got so excited that that one sounded so good. It did. It really did. And in my head, I was like, Ooh, we weren't talking. He can probably isolate that. And use it to the other one that I already have isolated because it's already recorded. Well, no, you can use it to bleep me. Not if you don't cuz anymore. We'll see what happens. Yeah. All right. So months and months ago, there's several reasons that you guys wanted to take a pleasure trip. Yes. The last time I took a pleasure trip, I took my wife to the airport. But you know. I need a horn. No. Sounding better. I took it to the Airhorn Report Store. Because you're a horn technician. That's right. I talk to people in the business. I went to one of our Reddit threads. Multitasking. Spiewack Horn 38. That's me. Look for me on the Reddit thread. Presley just groaned. I heard it. She did. So this is the thing that I found most enchanting when you were describing this trip before you left is that everybody was going to be in a separate cabin, allegedly, but they were connected by a lazy river. Yeah. Now, did that prove to be true? Yeah. That's crazy. Tell me about that. What else proved to be true was the fantastical deep freeze here in the South. Right. Pushed its way down to Mexico as well. Okay. So you got out of town. You drove to Atlanta to fly to the vacation, right? Because the snow is being, they called it days in advance as weather people do. They prognosticate. Well, not really. We didn't expect to get three inches. Okay. Three and a half inches of snow. Okay. And then also two of the couples, Dan and myself included, were from up north. Okay. So thinking like three and a half inches of snow, a day and a half before we even leave. Not an issue. That's going to be a problem. Right. Not an issue. One thing we also did not know was that Savannah Airport does not have any sort of de-icing equipment. Because why would they? That's true. I mean,
