Hello and welcome to episode 23 of Curiosityness. I'm Travis DeRose. I'm the host. And I have a king of ice cream on this episode,

0:13.1

episode 23. I think I said that. His name is Daniel. And Daniel quit his job to travel the country and taste and review ice cream and put it on his

0:24.0

blog, his website, the king of ice cream.com. You could check them out. And this guy is so fun to talk to.

0:30.4

He reminds me of the guys from city slickers, from the movie City Slickers with Billy Crystal.

0:37.0

They're like the ice cream

This, it's a little, the sounds a little off on this because Daniel was at a Starbucks recording this and there's kind of a lot of background noise.

1:46.9

Sorry about that.

1:47.9
