| 0:00.0 | One of my favorite fall foods really we're talking about brussels sprouts. |
| 0:03.3 | Oh good thanks for cluing me in on the topic. Yeah. I was wondering why we were surrounded by |
| 0:07.3 | these mountains and mountains of brussels sprouts. Yep, yep. I cannot believe it's taken us this long to getting around to doing a Brussels |
| 0:14.4 | Sprouse show. I know. I mean when we discussed it you know when we decided on the |
| 0:18.2 | topic I actually thought we'd already done it. Yeah we've gotten to the point I |
| 0:21.8 | think where we're like we'll say we should do like cabbage and then we're like did we do that already? I can't remember. |

| 1:05.7 | But I feel like I don't know maybe it's sort of our parents generation but I feel like so many people were raised on boiled brussels sprouts. I mean boiled to the |
