• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Does the meat need to be submerged? It's one more thing.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Thing.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Wow, what I have finally, after the suggestion coming to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: me from friends, family, co workers and listeners for years
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: as a single parent trying to figure out how to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: feed my kids, as a guy who can't cook, I.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Have finally.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Finally opened up the box, gotten out the crock pot
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and put something. Wow.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: How long was it? Just stating?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Just stating in it?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I mean it's been a decade, right, I've had a few.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I think I got one for when I got married. Well,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: now we use that one, so I huh, they gave
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it to you.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: That one.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We used a lot, a lot. I washed that thing
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a million times, which is fine. Stuffing a crock pot's good.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm just getting around to it. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what chat GPT is usual. Chatbots helping
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a lot. It had all the most Like I said,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I want, I want to have roast beef like my
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: mom made it. I'm just picturing a plate of roast
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: beef with ketchup on it that you know, just falls
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: apart under your fork. Roast beef with the potatoes. It's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: so good. And it told me.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: How to pip on roast beef.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You you don't.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Oh no, that's so good. Oh.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Anyway, according to chat GPT, that's a common beginner's mistake
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: thinking that the the meat needs to be submerged because
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the amount of broth that I put in there, the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: meat's sticking out over the top of it. And it said, no, no, no,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: if you haven't completely covered, it'll ruin it. But that's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a common beginner mistake. I said, how about the potatoes.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: They're not submerged either. No, that's perfectly fine. It cooks
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: an a combination of the liquid and the steam and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the heat and everything in there for eight to ten hours.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So anyway, one thought that I was having and if
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: if this turns out even close to the stuff that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the way my mom made it, which was probably if
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I asked her, she'd probably say, yeah, that's something I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: threw together on busy days because it was so dang
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: easy and it takes no you know, skiller time. But
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it's so delicious. I can't believe I'm just getting around
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to trying it now.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Are we talking like a pot roast? Yeah? Pot roast, yeah, corn, carrots.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And potatoes that I threw in there. And you know
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: onion soup mix on top, and it's going to come
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: out delicious.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. See to me, the only sauce needed is the sauce, yea,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the broth. The fixen's there? What do you call it?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: The juice? Yes, Michael, you gotta try a pork line.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Pork lines are great in crackpots.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try all kinds of things if this works out.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Can I just throw a fish in her like it's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: head on and its tail and everything you could. I
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was thinking about the.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: You can throw a dead cat there if you wanted.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, tender was right off the tail.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You gotta slow cook it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Huh ah, This mouser is tender.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Boy.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: What's your like among your favorite things that your mom
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: used to make? Because I'm thinking about I'm trying to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: do a better job of cook for my kids. And
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: roast roast beef and the crock pots one of the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: things my mom would make that was so good.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I know you and I agree on this. I gotta
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: go right to the meat loaf. I have never understood
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: jokes about meat loaf. Maybe it was my mom made
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: really good meat loaf, and my wife makes really good
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: meat loaf.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, my god, that's it. One of the top items
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: in the food pyramid. To me, it's delicious.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: How much talent involved in a meat loaf? Because I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: was thinking about, like some of the stuff I love,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Got to make sure it's not dried out.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I loved my mom's fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna be able to make that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I just I'm just taught m.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Meat loaf. Possibly, yes, Michael.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: See the beautiful thing about meat loaf before Michael steps up,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: is that, uh, it's fabulous for dinner and Little Worcester
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: shear sauce and yeah, I indulgent a little ketchup in
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that hypocrite.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You're right guilty.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Ah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: But then the next day it's even freaking better on
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a sandwich, a meat loaf sandwich. I'm drooling like a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: dog over here just thinking about it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Michael, That's what I was gonna say.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: It's better the next day I caught that sick.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Oh what did your mom make that you really liked? Michael,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Lasagna really good? That requires talent. Also, I have no talent.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, it's there's not much to it. You
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: just it's layers it's just layers. You gotta cook the noodles, but.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Don't say noodles. You're finally. Italians don't like the word noodles.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Noodles is a pasta.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Gotta I cooked the pasta. That's right for the gabba.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I've said this on the air many, many times. My
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: biggest failing, absolutely as a single parent, has been the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: providing meals for my kids. I just I've never cooked.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. I know a lot of people
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: really love it. I hate it, and I've never done it.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So i'm and I'm unwilling to learn.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Would you got to have a living cooking maid like
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Alice from the Brady Bunch?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I should have.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I did have an all pair for a summer and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a sitter who needed someplace to live, and I had
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: an empty bedroom, so I said, live here and I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: won't charge you to sit. So that was my all pair.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But she is from a foreign land and her food
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: smelled horrible, so I never asked her to cook.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, what foreign land, you will want to say.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Don't I wouldn't ask her to park my car?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, fair enough.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Wow that's leaves several choices, but close enough. Ah, yeah, yeah,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I liked it the homes of folks from other cultures
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: and immediately been overwhelmed by the cooking smells and not
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: in a good way either, Right, Yeah, and I would
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: probably enjoy but it's like.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Open the windows. It smells horrible. We need to call
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a plumber. Something has gone wrong.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody did put a cat in a crocknot.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: A smell run here.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I would like to recreate some of the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: stuff that I really really enjoyed as a kid, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: definitely the crock pot meals. I can do that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what you I don't know. You know
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: how cooperative your your older boy is these days.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: But lasagna, if the three of you divide it up,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: you know you're the head of the pasta committee. You're
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: dealing with the sauce, which frankly.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Can be pouring it out of a jar. And that's fine.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Jar sauce is so much better than it used to be.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh my god.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and then somebody browns the meat or whatever.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: You can go sasage, you can go ground beef, you
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: can go vegetarian if you know you got limp, wrists
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: or whatever.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Many choices and that's genies. You gotta have the ricata.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Speaking of my older son, last night, he came home.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: He's out with some of his friends, and he came
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: home and there was a car out front and I said,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: who's that and he said, oh, it's He named his
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: two friends. He said, we're gonna go do some stuff.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And they were laughing in there at the music playing,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and I was thinking, oh my god, this is the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: summer between his sophomore and junior year or high school.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Three guys headed out into the night. Does it get
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: any better than that?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Oh? Not in my recollection. I don't know what they.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Did or what they were going to do or hoping
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to do. But yeah, those are some pretty good times
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: in your life. I was happy for him that he's
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: getting to have them.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here here, Yeah, good times. You've made me win full.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Don't let your meat loaf, don't let your hot dog stand,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: don't let your wristwatch all good suggestions.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Right right, Jack, gets yourself a fryer so you can
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: make that fried chicken.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I don't see myself doing that. Just pop it right
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: in like a lot of work. Well you just throw
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it in there, Yeah, you just throw it in there.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And out comes fried chicken.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I find that her to believe you got a battered
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: the thing right, the chicken you have breading on there, Michael,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: do you have any idea what you're talking about about?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I just I hate to see him be so
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: defeated over food.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because it's not that hard, but uncertainty. It's funny.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I'm very, very slow at prep and my wife is
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: very you're missing pardon.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Me your missing plot.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: It has been acting up lately. I'm taking an anti inflammatory,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: but uh, but she is less so now, but really
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: hesitant about cooking meat because she's afraid she won't get
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: it right. And fish, really afraid to cook fish. And
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'll be fine, I'll cook it. So you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: we're like Jack Spratt and his uh and his wife.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of hesitancy to cook is uncertainty of how
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: it's gonna come out. Generally, it'll come out okay, you'll
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: learn something, it'll be better the next time, nobody will die.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Probably my hesitancy is I just hate it. I don't
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: understand people liking to cook.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: There's why do you hate it? That's what I'm trying
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to get behind.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: There's not one tiny aspect of the process, fear fear.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think overcome the fear. It seems like a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: lot of work for a little payoff. I think it's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: because I don't enjoy eating enough. I think that might
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: be it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: And yet you eat like a grizzly bear. Man, I
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: can have a hot contradictions.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: With mustard every night for the rest of my life
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and be perfectly happy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, Well, cook out, I'll talk. Then, Well,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I guess that's it.
