Mustard Sandwich
Oh, my goodness. It is May. It is, in fact, May.
And for those of you who don't know-
Oh, you already started.
I already started.
[laughs]
You were just rambling.
Teachers get very tired in May.
Um, we have new names for the podcast.
We do?
Yes. We do. And we're gonna throw them out.
Not in the cold open. And [laughs] we want y'all
to vote on them.
So,
um, let's
see.
Let's talk about what's on your face.
We don't need to do that. That's— that's not what
needs to happen right now.
Did you lose a fight? [laughs]
Mm.
Yeah. We're just gonna pretend that like a kid
made that happen and it wasn't me
accidentally bruising my face [laughs] myself.
[laughs]
And I have a conference talk that I'm giving next
Monday, so I'm just
hoping that this fades away by then. Otherwise,
I've got to somehow try and explain-
You want me to teach you how to do some makeup on
it?
Oh, actually, you know, that'd be great, babe. Why
don't we do that?
Yeah.
We'll just have a makeup tutorial. [laughs] That
sounds terrible.
No, thank you. Um, we have a lot to talk about
tonight.
A lot.
We'll see if we get to all of it. We don't have to
get to all of it, but we have a lot of options to
pick
from.
Don't chop at me.
Bah!
Also,
I practiced my, uh, talk with Ali last night
and all I'm gonna say is Ali King
tore me down-
Okay
... to my studs, to the foundation, and she has
built me back up brick by brick.
[laughs]
And this talk is gonna be better than ever.
Oh, well then.
It's gonna be awesome. I really needed to do that.
It would've been so bad otherwise.
But
this is Episode 27
of a now unnamed, but soon to be named, podcast.
We will tell you those names in a little bit.
This is my lovely wife, Allison. I am Will.
Let's do it.
[upbeat music plays] Mustard sandwich.
Mm-mm.
What?
This week, I think it was Monday, maybe.
Hmm, I think it was last week.
When?
Maybe it was the end of last week over the
weekend.
Needless to say, um, I think we've decided...
We have decided that we're gonna make this podcast
studio situation
happen. We're gonna have like a actual-
What are you talking about?
... set.
I'm talking about the fact that we're going to
change the scenery of our podcast.
We're gonna have multiple mics. We're each gonna
have our own mic. We're gonna have our own chairs.
You are already looking at the chairs, so don't
act
like you didn't.
I didn't think we... This was like a for sure
thing.
It's happening.
Okay.
I already bought some of the gear.
Oh, gracious. Okay.
Because we got- we're gonna have two mics, we're
gonna have our own little chairs, we're gonna have
a setup
downstairs.
You know, I find this interesting that you can get
all this done, but that cottage, man.
I haven't done any... Because all this was was
clicking a thing on Amazon.
Also, let it be known the college is being painted
currently.
Mm, it's being primed. [laughs]
That is also true, but paint... It's still paint
and it's happening.
Whatever.
And Palmer is very excited to maybe help.
How does this tie in to something called mustard
sandwich?
It doesn't. That is unrelated.
Oh.
You just happened to say that right as I was going
into this.
I think you said it.
Mm-mm.
You like mumbled it under your breath.
No, I didn't. You just were like, "What is mustard
sandwich?"
I don't know. I don't recall.
Anyway, but needless to say, part of this whole
process of like, "Oh,
hey. We're gonna get a new name. Also, I think we
should maybe like do a set."
Okay.
That'd be fun to kind of like-
Okay.
Just to like really lean into this, 'cause we have
a really good time doing this.
And Ali from the jump was like, "We need a better
background than this."
Well, yeah, y'all need to see our messy
guest bedroom/playroom/Will's
office/whatever's happening in this room.
This is true. This is true.
It's not a reflection of our home.
So-
Actually, it is, because we live here.
Also true. Also true. It's a reflection of Will's
office, if we're being honest.
What is happening?
So anyway,
the goal is we're gonna have like a set...
Are you okay?
Yes, I am. Sorry, something got in my eyes.
We're gonna have a set-
I think that eyelash that's floating right there.
[laughs]
Um, a friend of the pod, Tom Johnson, he's a
designer, um, that I'm buddies
with-
Hello. Thank you. Okay
... he is... He lives in Nashville. He had some
recommendations for the podcast name.
He's the one that was like, uh, "You should call
it Null Opinions."
And I was like, "Ali's not gonna get that 'cause
she doesn't get developer humor." And then you
were just
like-
Oh, I clapped back with an even better one.
And then you're like, and then she was like, "More
like annulled humor." [laughs]
[laughs]
Annulled opinions.
You can't even deliver it correctly. Do you see
how frustrating this is?
Like I, I, I crushed that joke.
You did crush that joke.
And I'm relying on you to deliver.
You don't have to rely on it, you deliver it.
I... Well,
we all know you talk over and you just bulldoze.
Okay. I don't talk over.
I don't. I don't bulldoze.
I was texting. What was... Okay.
No.
All right.
So-
So what're you even talking about?
... anyway, friend of the pod, Tom Johnson.
Okay. Yes, he lives in Nashville. [laughs]
Lives in Nashville. He just recently redid his
office and did those wood slat,
the, the wood slat, uh, panels that you can kinda
put on, I think that we were talking about, or
that I was
showing you.
Mm-hmm.
And, um, he was telling me where I can get them
for the cheapest.
Home Depot apparently has a line of them that you
can get.
I feel like you should know Home Depot's entire
inventory at this point.
I have spent a-
You have... You practically live there.
... I have spent a lot of time at Home Depot. That
is very true. So it'll be fun.
We're gonna build out a little set and also as
part of this, we're gonna have some more
like, I think we should have some more like, uh,
consistent bits.
Okay.
Like, um, like some things we do in an episode
that has like a name.
You know? Like, oh, it's... For instance, I have
one here, it's called Quotes of The Week.
Okay.
And the long-term goal for Quotes of The Week, the
Quotes of The Week bit, is that each one of
us
will like write down a quote from one of our kids-
Okay
... that we haven't told the other person yet.
Okay.
And then on, on the podcast, we're going to-...
say the quote that we thought was really funny.
Interesting.
And the other person has to try to guess who said
it.
Well, that's not really... That's pretty easy.
Maybe, but maybe not.
Okay.
But also-
That's cute
... the, the good part about the bit is that the
quotes themselves are hilarious.
They are.
So
we both know what [laughs] both-
[laughs]
... we both know both of the, both of these quotes
from this week.
So maybe the bit will be, uh, in place by the next
week or so.
But-
Okay
... I just wanna share two hilarious quotes. We'll
call this quotes of the week.
[laughs]
We both know who these are, so I'm just gonna say
it. So our son, this...
[laughs]
[laughs]
Our son, we got... Okay.
There's a backstory to this one also.
Her grandmother,
um, the school that Ali works at-
Oh, gracious
... has this big, like, uh, what would you call
it?
I got this.
Okay. Go.
They have a silent auction where you can bid on
things.
Mm-hmm.
My grandmother apparently decides to live for this
silent-
Literally
... auction
... every year. Go for it. Sorry.
Okay. [laughs]
So
she was instructed to only bid on
one thing and one thing only. What my grandmother
heard was, "Let me buy
multiple baskets of crap that-"
Yes, yeah.
"... I can give your family and it will wreak
havoc upon your life for the next three weeks."
So one of these baskets happened to be, like, a
summer fun water
outdoor whatever basket.
Mm-hmm.
And it came with this, like, catch toss game and
this.
You know those foam... We all know this. We had
these growing up.
They're the foam balls that weigh literally, like,
zero
ounces until you get them soaking wet and then
they're, like, so heavy-
Yeah
... and you just sling 'em across the pool. It's
those.
Yes.
So Wilson got these balls-
And-
... and was, like, running around the house
playing with them, having a good old time.
They... He... There's like three of 'em and he-
And you should tell this 'cause he-
He comes-
... you're the one who was-
He was... Will was home with the boys and I had
just got in from work.
And [laughs] Wilson-
[laughs]
... our three-year-old, comes running in the
kitchen and he's like, "Mommy."
And he was like... [laughs]
Say it.
"Mommy,
do you wanna come play a game with my balls?"
'Cause he's got, [laughs] he's got a lisp so it's-
He's got a little lisp. He's like, "Do you wanna
play a game with my balls?
They're really pretty."
[laughs]
"My balls are really pretty."
And
it's at that point-
[laughs]
... that Will and I have to exit the room because
he-
We literally cannot-
... will not stop saying it over and over-
We cannot function-
... and over again.
So yeah.
... at this point. It is so funny. We were down...
Like, we literally both, like, are crouching down
on the ground, turning our heads so he doesn't,
like,
realize we're laughing-
Laughing-
... at what he said
... at him and what he says.
'Cause he's just, he's so innocent about it.
"Do you wanna come play with my balls?" [laughs]
"Do you wanna come play a game with my balls?"
Oh, goodness gracious.
"They're really pretty. My balls are so pretty."
They're so pretty.
[laughs]
So funny. And then
this one was from today, which,
once again... See, like, this, this will be great
because you are the one that somehow gets-
I-
... most of the quotes.
I do get most of these. So tonight-
So this one tonight
... putting our daughter to bed,
she called out and was like, "Just...
I just need another hug and I need another kiss,
Mommy, please." I was like, "Sure." So
laying down, give her a hug, give her a kiss, tell
her goodnight.
Baby children. They're crying.
And so one of the things she's always done is,
like, if you kiss her on her cheek or forehead,
she's like,
"Oh, I'm rubbing it in." And so [laughs] tonight
at, like,
7:45 or whatever, I'm tired and ready to be done.
[laughs] She's like, "Mommy, just, just one more
hug and kiss." I'm like, "Okay."
Give her a hug and I give her a kiss and I'm like,
"Goodnight, Palmer." And as I'm walking out of the
room she goes, "I'm rubbing it in. I'm rubbing it
all over my body." [laughs]
[laughs]
And I just was like, "Okay."
Okay, goodnight. [laughs]
"Goodnight." [laughs] So yeah.
That was a good one.
So I immediately-
I had to throw that one in there.
... walked into the room and was like, "Well, this
just happened."
Well, you'll... Guess what this quote just was?
Yeah. It's hilarious.
Yeah. That was a good one.
Oh, man. And so that's gonna be, that's gonna be a
good bit. I think we'll have some gold there.
That'll be good.
Another one that I think will be a good bit, um-
I just really wish I knew what direction you were
heading sometimes.
It feels like a rollercoaster
that I'm like, "Which way are we gonna go?"
What do you mean?
"Going up? Are we going..." Like, I just don't
know-
What are you talking about?
... what's coming next.
I'm just... I'm rolling to the next bit.
We just talked about-
What?
... one bit. Now I'm gonna talk-
You're-
... about another bit.
Well, nobody kno-... First of all, can we stop
calling them bits?
That's what they are. This is-
Segments. They're-
Okay, a segment.
... conversation topics.
A segment. There we go. Actually-
Although I don't love the word-
I'm wrong. You are correct. This is not a bit.
It is a segment. That's the word I-
One more time?
... was actually looking for. A segment is like a
planned-
Wait, whoa, wait. What happened before that? Hang
on. Whoa.
I'm sorry.
I was wrong. You're right.
For the people in the back.
Also, I don't know why you're being so dramatic
about this.
I am very willing and very frequently admitting
that I was wrong-
You're always wrong
... and you were right.
[laughs] I'm just kidding. Okay. Moving on.
Now, if it ever happens the other way, man, we
make a big deal about when Ali's wrong and Will's
right.
Oh, that'll be a big flop.
No. Well-
[laughs] That's not true
... anyway.
So segments.
Oh, my word.
That is the actual correct term for it.
Okay. Yes, moving on.
So another segment. Um, I wanna call it What We're
Watching.
Okay.
Because I think
sometimes we don't have good taste and, like,
we're watching something that's just whatever.
And I think it's still fun to talk about those.
But then also sometimes we have a really good
show.
And I was listening to, um, some buddies,
um, and they have, like, a, a movie segment where
they are super into movies,
which we all know you love movies.
Oh.
Anyway. But I was like, "Okay, well, what are-"
Movies are the worst.
So I was just like, "Okay, well, what are we
watching?" That'd be, like, a fun segment.
Okay.
Cool.
And then-
Well, we're currently not watching anything.
[laughs]
Those are, those are the two. Those are the two-
Okay
... that I have. So, um, we can come up with some
more segments.
Mm-hmm.
I feel like you'd come up with some really good
segments if you weren't exhausted.
Can you stop? Now you're wearing out the word
segment.
Allison.
Just...
How am I supposed to talk about segments without
using the word segments?
[laughs] You just-
I don't understand.
Let it go, man.
All right. Fine.
Just let it go.
Moving on. We'll talk about this not on the
podcast.
Okay. That sounds great.
... nobody likes you.
Interesting.
Speaking of n- apparently nobody likes me, there
was something brought to
my attention, not really, um, that somebody
noticed that you apparently go
full send on things.
[laughs]
And I'm here to
once again reiterate that Will King-
I'm gonna, I'm gonna-
... lives his life-
... have that tweet on a poster
... on full send all the time.
From the moment I met him,
to this day, it's never not been
overwhelmingly undeserved [laughs] -
Confidence
...
confidence. So-
That is, [laughs] , that is your choice of how you
like to phrase it.
[laughs]
I like Erin, Erin's choice of s- calling it full
send.
It was something.
He said I had gumption. What a word.
Yeah.
Hadn't heard that word, uh, forever.
I mean, you will swing for the fences.
There ain't-
If I'm gonna, if I'm gonna-
There ain't no doubt about it. If you're gonna do
it-
... if I'm gonna do something, I'ma do it
... you don't halfway do anything.
Or I'm not.
Or you're not.
Like, I'm either really gonna do it or I'm really
not gonna do it.
Yeah.
There's no, like-
That is so true
... there's no, like-
I mean, literally-
... middle of the road
... our first date, we finished the date, parks
the car, and he's like, "So."
[laughs] I did. I literally parked the car.
And I looked at her-
And he's like-
... and I said, "Hey,
I just want you to know that this is really
serious to me."
[laughs]
"I'm very interested in you.
This is not something that I'm doing, like, for
fun.
I-"
I'm not taking this lightly.
"I'm not taking this lightly. I, I want
to date you-"
With the intent-
"... with, with the intention of marrying you one
day."
[laughs]
And then
this.
[laughs]
This is... We talk about this moment literally,
like, at least, like-
He just mentioned our date
... ev- every other month.
We just went on our first date and now you're
like, "Hey, by the way."
Shoot your shot.
[laughs]
When you know, you know, full send.
I'm gonna marry you. [laughs]
Was I wrong? Ladies and gentlemen-
I mean, no, you weren't, but-
... was I wrong?
[laughs]
Hmm, three kids later-
Okay. All right
... a decade later, locked it down.
He says all that-
Mm-hmm
... and I give-
Well, I hope... No, I got... Y- we gotta do it
from my perspective.
Okay.
So I literally just put my heart on the line.
We're talking, like, full on emotional
vulnerability here.
And I look over at Allison
after I say this.
Quit texting other people. We're in the middle of
something.
I... It was about the babysitter for
S- Saturday, okay.
We'll talk about that later.
All right.
You forgot what you were saying.
I did. I forgot-
And I heard every word
... emotional vulnerability, heart on the line.
Yes.
There we go. Got the thread back.
I finish what I'm saying, and I look at you, and I
just see in your face, you kind of just go,
"Oh, I'm glad you brought that up."
[laughs]
Stop right there. "I'm glad you brought that up."
[laughs]
Okay. If you had just said what I had said to her,
and the girl looks at you and says,
"I'm glad you brought that up."
[laughs]
What are you thinking?
It's done. It's over.
I'm be honest if-
I shot my... I, I'm, I
tried to shoot my shot and I missed. We're talking
air ball.
[laughs]
Like, full air ball. Nothing. Like, this was not a
success.
Moving on.
[laughs]
I was already-
We will never talk about this again.
I was like, "I tried." But, like, this is what I
get for trying to go for a serious
relationship.
Okay.
Anyway-
But also-
... that's, that's what's going through my head.
That is, like, 100% I know it's over.
Well-
But-
... I say, "Well, I'm glad you brought this up,
because clearly we have a lot to talk about."
Yeah, and-
"But..."
And I'm just, like, panicking over here, like-
[laughs]
... "What do we have left to talk about?" [laughs]
I said, "But
tonight went really well. I'm so interested in
seeing where this goes." And give, like, a totally
rational answer to that. But, like-
Very rational-
... you know-
... but very positive.
I feel like in that moment of saying, "I'm glad
you
brought that up," and then, like, pausing for a
minute,
was like the ultimate troll.
It was.
Like-
Our relationship started-
... I set the tone-
... on a note [laughs] -
... of like-
... of ultimate-
... I'm a mess with him
... like, "I'm a mess with him from the jump." I
want to think that you-
[laughs]
... knew what you were doing there, but I don't
know if you did.
You know I didn't, so... [laughs]
You, no, I don't know if you did, but-
No
... we're gonna go ahead and twist history to say
that you didn't on purpose.
Yeah, sure. No. I definitely did not.
Because that is definitely-
But-
... how our relationship has gone since then.
That is... Yes.
All right. So that's, uh, uh, example number one
of Will going full send.
Uh, and then somebody,
uh, mentioned something else and I was like, "Oh,
yeah, um,
this is not the only time that I went full send on
our relationship." The first time that, uh, we
told each
other, "I love you-"
I didn't even say it.
I told her I loved her-
[laughs]
... and then I told her she loved me. [laughs] So-
Backstory, we had just gotten into an argument.
Maybe, like, one of our-
First
... first ones.
Yeah.
Definitely our first, like, kind of, like-
Like-
... big deal one
... disagreement. I mean, we don't-
I mean, we don't ever fight.
... fight. I mean, you know, we just disagreed.
And, um,
we,
I think were at my parents' house for the weekend
or something like that.
Mm-hmm.
So I was in my room and you were off and like to
get better-
Was this the macaroni incident?
No.
Okay.
We don't talk about macaroni gate. And the fact
that you would even bring it up right
now-
[laughs]
... you're banished [laughs] for the evening.
I can't remember what mac-... I can't remember if
it w- if it was mac-
If you can't remember macaroni gate-
No, no, no. Oh, I remember macaroni gate.
[laughs]
I'm just trying to remember if this was macaroni
gate.
I don't think it was, but I don't remember what-
I don't remember what we were arguing about,
however-
... this was. But something to the effect of,
like, we both handle when we're frustrated very
differently.
And he's the, like, full send, "I'm gonna talk
about this right now and we gotta get this
resolved."
We are going to talk this out-
And I-
... until it is resolved. Whether we want to talk
or not-
I need-
... we're gonna keep talking until it's solved.
... a minute to process. Like, I need to be alone
because if I discuss something in, like, the
heat of the moment,
shockingly, I can probably be a little-
A little sharp
... a little sharp, a little-
A little sharp with our words. Yeah
... zesty with our words. Um-
Yeah, yeah.
So I was taking my time in my room because I was
frustrated. And he......
he's stewing over there because we just had some
sort of disagreement.
And he-
And meanwhile, my... What do they call it when you
have, like, the voice in your head?
Your-
I don't know
... the, like, negative voice that's, like,
tearing... Like, people call it something.
Gracious, Will.
Like when you have, like, negative self-talk.
There's, like, a word for it.
I don't know.
If anybody remembers what-
Okay
... this is, tell them.
Stop. So he, like finally-
I'm, like, stewing over there
... walks in and he's like, "You know what?
This is ridiculous," and all that does is make me
more mad.
Yeah, you can t- I can tell-
And he-
... she's getting ticked.
He's like, "This is ridiculous."
And I looked at her and I said, "I love you."
No, you... Okay, yeah. You're like, "This is
ridiculous."
Yeah, I said, "This is ridiculous-
"Because-"
"... because
I love you." And then I just looked at her and I
said, "And I know you love me too." [laughs]
And-
Just stop. [laughs]
... and she just... At that moment, she is no
longer mad-
Oh, okay
... because she's just looking at me, like...
Like-
Uh
... kind of like-
So?
I'm s- I'm supposed to tell you that, but, like,
okay, you're right. You know?
[laughs]
But also, like, this is the first time he's told
me he loved me.
[laughs]
So a lot of conflicting emotions for Ali there.
He was lo- Whatever. So, but yeah. He shot his
shot again and was, like, "It's fine.
This is ridiculous because I love you, and I know
you love me too.
So we're gonna just move on." [laughs]
Just, I just bulldozed straight through that
argument with love.
You did. You did. So-
It was great. So, anyway. Those are, uh, two
little, uh, origin stories for Ali-
Yeah
... and Will. We're, we'll not get into any more-
I would like a formal apology there for Macaroni
Gate being mentioned on this podcast.
Never.
Now other people will want to know what Macaroni
Gate is.
They can figure it out for themselves. Not really.
Macaroni Gate. Can't wait to talk about it
eventually.
[laughs]
It'll come up again. All right.
Nope.
So
you mentioned a minute ago, mustard sandwich.
Yeah. Okay.
Um, and then you're like, "What is mustard
sandwich?"
Uh-huh.
Um, I was
watching the boys on Monday-
Mm-hmm
... because your mo- your mom had-
Does this have to do with my grandparents?
Sure does.
I know exactly what-
You're-
... this is.
I'll let you tell the story, but it's an important
s- important set-up going into it.
I was watching the boys, um, and I had to take,
uh, one of our kids to the doctor.
And so her grandparents, our kids'
great-grandparents...
It's incredible that they get to be a part of our
life.
It's one of the reasons that we're, like, in
Montgomery and love being here, um-
Mm-hmm
... is that they not only have a really close
relationship with their grandparents here, but
also their
great-grandparents. And it-
Mm-hmm.
They just love 'em. Anyway.
Yeah.
They're here to help watch one of the boys while I
take the other boy.
And when I come back, I'm kinda just sitting there
talking, talking to 'em, uh,
and, um, mustard sandwich gets mentioned.
Um, which Ali will tell you in just a second, the
story of mustard sandwich.
Um, but the reason why I wanted to talk about it
is because
Ali comes by her personality
honestly.
[laughs] Oh, no.
No.
I am so offended. Are you calling me Nana?
No, I'm not calling you Nana. I'm just co-...
Tell the story and everybody-
Oh
... will understand. You are not Nana.
Okay.
You are not the Nana.
Okay.
Because this happened earlier on in their life-
It did
... before she became the Nana.
My grandparents, um,
uh... This is just, like, a story that has been
told time and time again, that my
grandfather hates mustard.
And when they would fuss and argue when my
grandmother would make his
lunch and pack it in his bag and send him to work
that day, um,
it- [laughs] Would-
He would, he would have no idea what he was-
He would have... I mean-
... getting for his lunch. He'd just take his
lunch, take it to work.
He'd just take a sandwich out and take whatever.
His can of sardines, his sandwich and something
else.
And typically, he would have, like, a ham sandwich
or bologna or whatever.
But when they were arguing and when my grandmother
was mad at him, it was only
mustard on the bread.
Literally, just bread-
Just bread and mustard
... and mustard. And he hates mustard.
[laughs]
Hates mustard. And is, like, that was the...
Basically,
he was-
Roasting. Yeah. Like, this is, like-
[laughs]
... old-school roast. Like, "Your...
I'm gonna make your sandwich, but I'm-a be salty
about it."
Yeah, exactly.
[laughs]
Yeah.
So, and she was telling that, she was telling that
story again 'cause something, something one of the
boys-
I was like, "Are they fussing?" [laughs]
Yeah, something one of the boys did, they were,
like, being all grumpy about it.
And so, and Nana just, it made her think of that.
Um, and then I just immediately thought, like,
"Oh, LOL.
Ali comes by it honestly." Their, like, sense of
roast, like, gonna give
the, their significant others a bit of a hard
time.
So, I, I had to, we had to bring up mustard
sandwich.
All righty.
Okay.
We are going to have one more topic, then we're
gonna wrap it up for the night, even though we
have a bunch
more.
That means we just got more stuff to talk about.
This is, this is becoming, I think, easier to do.
Is it?
I think it becomes easier to, like-
Okay
... figure out what needs to go into the podcast.
Just remember, we have one more thing we need to
talk about.
You also told these people we would be giving
podcast names.
And-
So either that's the last one thing-
... the one more thing we're talking about is
podcast names.
Okay. Just, you generally aren't a planner, so I
didn't know if you were just...
Okay.
Well, as I was saying,
this is getting easier to do-
Okay
... and easier to plan out. So, we have four
podcast names.
Potential names.
And we want to have y'all's feedback.
So all four of you can vote for one.
No, no.
And then we're really in a pickle. [laughs]
So,
we want y'all to vote
somehow. I don't know how. Just d- DM me or
whatever and tell me which one you like.
Or, like, I'll put a-
If you've made it this far.
Let me... I'll put a post on it, uh, on, on the
social and you can comment-
You should do one of those things where like-
... comment on... Or a poll, like an actual poll.
Sorry. I'm excitable. [laughs]
Go ahead. Sorry.
No, it's okay. Let's just tell them the names,
please.
[laughs]
But there is one caveat. Terms and conditions of
your vote is we're not gonna necessarily
pick the most popular one. We're still probably
gonna pick the one we like the most.
[laughs]
So this is a dictatorship apparently.
But it is.
Not a democracy.
It's our podcast, not theirs.
Oh, okay.
So here are the names.
Number one, "No One Asked Us." [laughs] That feels
appropriate.
Ali really liked that one.
Um, number two, "Reign It In."
What? That's not the second one on the list.
It isn't, but I'm saving that one 'cause it has
some story behind it.
Okay.
"Reign It In," which...Um-
Reign would be spelled
R-E-I-G-N.
A little play on the King last name?
On the last name, King.
And a little bit on, you know,
h- Allie talking to m- like, "Reign it in," well,
like, a little play on, a little roast.
Yeah.
Um-
And I also think this should be called Land the
Plane. There's another one.
[laughs]
There you go, [laughs] Land the Plane. Fair
enough. All right.
Uh, the other one that she liked as of this week,
Full Send.
She thought that was a good name for a podcast.
That is a good name.
I also like Full Send. That's a good one.
Uh, and the final option, which needs a little
context, is Delightfully Mediocre.
The Delightfully Mediocre Podcast?
The Delightfully Mediocre Podcast.
I think that's wonderful.
I think that actually is a very wonderful name.
And there's...
We didn't just, like, come up with, like,
Delightfully Mediocre out of the blue.
Every single Wednesday-
And basically every Saturday. [laughs]
Yeah, and basically every Saturday.
There's a deli that is literally, like, a half
mile from our house
that has-
It's called Chappy's.
It's called Chappy's.
We've talked about the poaching situation there.
Uh, we have. Okay, so we've talked about Chappy's.
These people are familiar with Chappy's.
All right. So we love Chappy's. It's a deli. It's
great. Kids love it. We love it.
And they have great breakfast.
Kids eat free.
Anyway.
Okay.
Kids eat free. Can't beat that. So
we go to Chappy's a lot and her dad-
Years ago.
Years ago-
I mean, like, this is-
... we were-
Like, I grew up going to Chappy's.
Right.
There's a Chappy's story about me-
Mm-hmm
... that we will save, I'm sure, for another time
because
Chappy's has been a staple-
It's a great story. It is a great Chappy's story
... in our family since I was an infant.
Yes.
So. [laughs]
Anyway. So needless to say, Chappy's is a bit of a
tradish, and
her dad has dubbed it, because I wa-...
When I entered the family, I was like, "This place
is pretty good."
It's great.
Like, I like Chappy's.
There's sandwiches, there's soups, salads.
And her dad just says, "It's delightfully
mediocre."
Yeah.
And I'm like, "Ah, okay. That's it." Like the
food's not incredible, like you're not gonna be
like-
This is the best
... "Oh, wow, this is where I want to go on date
night." But it's like-
It'll do.
That you, you can't order anything there that
you're just like, "That was like a bad ch- like,
that was
gross," or like, "That was bad."
Everything's fun-
Like, everything's just
delightfully mediocre.
That's fine. Yeah.
Uh, and so that is just like how, how we dub it
from, from then on.
So I think Delightfully Mediocre would be a really
good podcast name.
That would be a good one.
So anyway, to say them again, there's No One Asked
Us,
Reign It In,
Full Send, and Delightfully Mediocre.
So-
Or Land The Plane.
Land The Plane. We'll throw that one in there just
for you.
Actually, I don't know if they can have five
options, so we'll see.
[laughs]
Anyway,
if you like any of those,
give us a shout. We'll pick one of them and by-
Give us a shout? What do you want me to be like,
"Ah"?
No. Just like that. Go in my DMs and just go,
"Ah." [laughs]
[laughs]
And by the next podcast, we will have a decision.
Maybe we will have branding.
Probably will not.
Whoa. That's a big jump.
It's not hard. It's not hard to brand things
for stuff like this.
Okay. Let's-
Like-
Okay. Reign it in. [laughs]
Not bad. Not bad.
Not bad. Trying it out.
Good try. Yeah. Just trying it out. Anyway.
Anywho.
This podcast is now over. Goodnight.
