All right, let's start off with a quick round of This or That.
00:01:00
Speaker
This or That, The Seven Wonders of the World. Would you rather travel to Peru to see Machu Picchu or travel to Rome to see the Colosseum? Ooh, I think I'd rather visit Machu Picchu in Peru just because I love mountains.
00:01:22
Speaker
Oh, I'm sure you get amazing mountain views. Yeah. For me, i feel like it would come down the food in the area. Yeah. Oh, geez.
00:01:34
Speaker
When I travel, it usually revolves around food. um So, I mean, Peru, obviously ceviche is the thing to eat. So oh that sounds pretty good. i'm going there. But, you know, you have the Italian food near the Colosseum. So I feel like it would come down to like ceviche or carbonara. And i think I'd have to go with carbonara. So i I think I'd have to choose the Colosseum based on that.
00:01:59
Speaker
So what you're saying is every this or that that we're doing, you just base it off of food, no matter what the question is. Okay. I know. This is a numbers episode and now it's turning into a food episode. Okay.

Speaker
So pie day is 314. Would you rather celebrate eating a pizza pie or an actual pie?
00:02:22
Speaker
Oh, I think I'd have to go with an actual pie because I feel like you can eat pizza any time of the year, but ah usually only have pie for Thanksgiving, but I need to remember to have pie for pie day next year.
00:02:37
Speaker
Like maybe a blueberry pie or actually, you know what? Key lime pie. That's what I want. of Key lime pie. All right. Well, what about you? Okay, me, I don't eat pizza all the time. So that to me is a celebration.
