The

The Hello, Internet. I'm your husband host, Travis McElroy. And I'm your wife host, Teresa McElroy. And you're listening to Shmanners. It's extraordinary etiquette. For ordinary occasions. Hello, my dove.

Hello, dear. You're probably wondering why I've called

you here today. I'm actually not. No? We do this every week. What? Yeah. We hang out every week? At least once.

Oh my God. I need to start writing things down. I don't remember that at all. Do you remember? Is this our first episode? No. We actually, a couple weeks ago, we did an episode about how we've done a lot of episodes. You know, we just recorded our 800th, my brother and my brother and me. Woo! In 16 years, we've recorded 800 episodes. That's the average of 50 a year. Wow. Pretty good, huh? That is pretty good. Now, that is, I said this on the show, but now as I'm saying it here, it feels weird to brag about like, I made it to work 50 weeks a year. And not even that, really, because some of them are live shows. Oh, no. Hey, everybody, that's not the show we're talking about, though. Not today. It's cold here. Yeah. It still is cold, and I don't enjoy it. We usually, I know we begin each episode of Schrenners with a complaining session. So I just got to get it off your chest. It's cold. My toes are cold. Well, you know what I want to complain about? The price of chocolate. Did you know that...

Go on?

Chocolate at the moment can be upwards of $117 a pound.

Now, not that one buys a pound of chocolate for, say, Valentine's Day.

Or just because you're bored.

But...

And sometimes when you're bored. But.

And sometimes when you're low on dopamine and you don't know what you want, you just start eating chocolate to see if that's it.

But it all trickles down, right? So like, yeah, it's melted.

You know what I mean?

You don't buy a balance.

You can't want my jokes.

It's all I've got.

So if you buy a little heart, right, a little, like, cardboard heart full of chocolates. Which does always make me mad because they're always like this big and then they have like four chocolate in them and I'm like, it's going to be even more expensive this year. And it's going to be. That's why you should make your own chocolate. First, grow a

cowtree. Oh, okay. Yes. It's going to take a while. This is a long game we're talking here.

Can I say, um, the other day, speaking of complaining, our eldest, Bibi announced how much she

love white chocolate and she's, man, we don't buy enough white chocolate. We never have white chocolate in the house.

And listen, if you like white, if you like white chocolate, that's fine.
