**Chuck** (0:00)
Hi, everybody, it's Chuck. And in COVID time, it's May 14th, 2020 And on this Saturday Select, we're gonna bring you an episode called How Peanut Butter Works. And boy, oh boy, I remember loving this one. I think I was eating a lot of peanut butter at the time during COVID, because we had a good store of it already.
And I love peanut butter. And I think we talk a lot about how much we both like peanut butter in this episode. It's bound to make you hungry. And the good news is now you can just go right to your store and pick it up and smile a real smile at people that's not hidden behind a mask. So, let's celebrate that. Go out and get some peanut butter and smile.

Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of iHeartRadio.

**Josh** (0:49)
Hey, and welcome to Peanut Butter Jelly Time. I'm Josh. There's Chuck. We haven't seen Jerry in a while. If you have seen Jerry, please tell her to call home.
And this is Stuff You Should Know.

**Chuck** (1:01)
Yeah, Jerry, she sent out a smoke signal that said, send to me so.

**Josh** (1:07)
She did. She did. And we sent some on donkey back in that general direction.

**Chuck** (1:13)
Are you peanut butter or jelly in this scenario?

**Josh** (1:17)
I want to be peanut buttered. You always make me be jelly.

**Chuck** (1:21)
Well, I think we should level set here at the beginning. Okay. And talk about if you like peanut butter, which is your favorite and then what you like, how do you utilize it?

**Josh** (1:30)
Okay. My name is Josh C. And I love peanut butter. Okay. Almost only smooth. I will eat chunky if civilization has collapsed and that's all I can find. Okay.
I eat it any way, shape or form. Sometimes just peanut butter on a spoon, sometimes peanut butter on a spoon with a little divot made with my tongue filled with local honey.
If you want to get tubby really fast, let me introduce you to the wonder that is a spoonful of peanut butter scooped in some Cool Whip.

**Chuck** (2:03)
Okay.

**Josh** (2:05)
But really any kind of peanut butter anytime I will eat it. And I've noticed that once I reached my 40s, peanut butter sticks around me a lot more than it used to, so I'm having a real struggle with it. Thank you for listening.

**Chuck** (2:19)
And do you want to buzz market your favorite brand?

**Josh** (2:22)
We use this Jif Natural, that's like, it's like in a brown container. And I like it so much, I've purposely never looked at the label, because I don't want to know how natural it is. But my all-time favorite is Reese's Peanut Butter. Like, have you had it?

**Chuck** (2:42)
You mean in the jar?

**Josh** (2:43)
Yes.

**Chuck** (2:44)
Yes.

**Josh** (2:45)
Oh, it's so good.

**Chuck** (2:46)
I think I've had it once.

**Josh** (2:47)
But I was raised on Jif. Now go.

**Chuck** (2:51)
Well, I was raised on whatever the gigantic-gallon tub is that you used to get in the 80s. Yeah, I don't remember. I don't think it was any of those name brands.
Now, I mean, I love Peanut Butter. It's one of my favorite things in the world.
And I will go crunchy or smooth, no matter. I love them both. I also like it with honey. I like it, and I don't do this much, obviously, because it's just I'm not 19 years old. But a Peanut Butter and Mayonnaise Sandwich is one of the best things in the world.

**Josh** (3:24)
You know, I've never had that. Is it good, really?

**Chuck** (3:27)
Dude, do you have any QP?

**Josh** (3:29)
Yes.

**Chuck** (3:31)
Do Peanut Butter and QP, Sammy.

**Josh** (3:33)
Okay, so half and half or more Peanut Butter than mayo or what?

**Chuck** (3:36)
It's kind of your jam. I definitely don't go light on the mayo because you got to have that tang.

**Josh** (3:41)
Okay.

**Chuck** (3:42)
Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Fluff, I used to eat when I was a kid.

**Josh** (3:45)
Yeah, that's good stuff.

**Chuck** (3:46)
Fluff or Nutter, and now I don't eat the sugary, hydrogenated types. I either have one of the sort of artisan, natural kinds you have to mix up, or just the DeKalb Farmers Market grinds the peanuts right in front of your face into a tub and hands it to you.

**Josh** (4:04)
Right in front of your face, and it says, beat it, you can't have any of this.

**Chuck** (4:08)
So that's just peanuts, obviously.

**Josh** (4:10)
