Fridge or the counter?  That was Mandy's question of the day to our folks around the office when it comes to where they store their ketchup.  We played a few rounds of Would You Rather and Scotch blows us away with some Stupid Criminals in the News.

We have a new game we have been playing called One Must Go.  Mandy has some Dad jokes for the guys and we see who can make it through all of them without laughing and we have a top 5 list about the upcoming eclipse.

This week we had Whacky Country Song Titles Day and we decided we needed to write one.  We wheeled in the Supercomputer and had a little assistance.  We wrap up the week with a few rounds of Would You Rather.

What is something people do that do not make you want to hop into a public hot tub?  Mandy takes that question to the folks around the office.  Tank throws out some mind blowing questions and what is something your parents did when you were growing up that you want to do for your kids?

We break out an oldie but a goodie with a little 5 Second Rule.  Each member of the show has 5 seconds to name three things for each topic they are given in 5 seconds or less.  Let's just say they do NOT all go well!  Mandy takes a pulse of the office on "What is the weirdest song title you know" and we end with a letter from the mailbag: Is it ok if I do not have my twin sister as my maid of honor on my wedding day?

This week's wine: 2022 Alverdi Barbera 

Description

From: Piedmont, Italy
Varietal: Barbera

Taste: Delightfully juicy and fresh, this everyday Barbera charms with a berry medley. Cherries, blackberries, and raspberries meet aromas of rose petals, dried herbs, and baking spice notes wrapped in soft tannins and vibrant acidity. Chillable and affordable, you’ll want this as your year-round red!

Pairing: Perfect for an early evening aperitif, this lovely Barbera is also just as comfortable alongside pizza, pasta, Italian cuisine with and without meat, tomato-based dishes, and main courses with eggplant (check out the recipe below), takeout Italian or Mediterranean favorites like gyros and kebab.
