TNT Episode #6: A Long Time in the Making

In this episode, Tate shares his quirky take on cookies, calling them “sweet crackers,” and reminisces about childhood memories of playing in the dirt and rocks with Teresa—great for the immune system, she notes. Teresa talks about her son Liam saving the day by waking her up to play his VR games since she forgot to set her alarm clock, and she also reveals how Tate’s dad got her hooked on his cinnamon sugar recipe. The conversation takes a delicious turn as they chat about favorite treats like raisins, cinnamon rolls, apples (minus the skin), and pecan bars—before veering into the less appetizing topic of how many bugs the FDA allows in our food.
