**Rachel McElroy** (0:17)
Hi, this is Rachel McElroy.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:18)
Hey, this is Griffin McElroy.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:20)
And this is Wonderful!

**Griffin McElroy** (0:21)
Welcome to Wonderful! It's a podcast where we talk about things we like that's good, that we're into.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:27)
Oh, no! Griffin, dear husband, what are you upset about?

**Griffin McElroy** (0:32)
I couldn't get the freaking video recording of this podcast to work for this episode.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:38)
And I went and changed my shirt.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:38)
And you look super cute.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:40)
Thank you.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:41)
So dang cute, but no one's ever gonna know.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:44)
No.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:45)
They're not gonna believe me, babe.
I look super hot and huge muscles. 6'3, built like a fucking truck.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:57)
Wearing a vintage hooded sweatshirt.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:00)
Vintage hooded sweatshirt. I'm here, fucking Clooney's here, but he can't talk.
But they'll never know, because I couldn't get the GD video to work. This clip is great. This clip would be huge on TikTok.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:15)
I know it would.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:16)
But it won't, because I couldn't get the GD video to work. In the narrow sliver of time we have to make this beautiful podcast again. It's just eating me up inside.
I pivoted so hard to video that I hate audio now.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:29)
Oh no.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:29)
I hate it. I hate this thing.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:32)
Well, we watch a lot of YouTube, to be fair. So it makes sense that we would want everything to be on there for convenience.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:39)
Yeah. When you pivot to video hard enough, you're unable to, you do a full 180, your neck can't actually crane backwards far enough to see the audio just years and years behind you.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:53)
That was a really confusing image for me.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:56)
To see the audio. Yeah, no, I mean, there was a lot about it that didn't work. Do you, this is, but this is wonderful. We do talk about things we like. Do you have any small wonders?

**Rachel McElroy** (2:07)
I am going to say that I, for the first time ever yesterday, made whipped cream by hand and it was delightful.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:15)
Yeah, Rachel made me a yummy strawberry pie for Papa's Day. It was, I don't know, one of the more quaint things you've ever done, I think.

**Rachel McElroy** (2:24)
Every year on Father's Day, he says, what is the pie for Papa this year? Yep.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:31)
Papa's gotta have a slice on his special day.

**Rachel McElroy** (2:34)
And I said, this year, it's strawberry pie. And I'm gonna hand make whipped cream. And I did. And I can't imagine doing it with just a whisk because at first I was like, maybe I'll do it that way. And then I was like, no, nevermind. I'll use a mixer. And even with a mixer, it took way longer than I expected it to.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:51)
Yeah. But it was worth it.

**Rachel McElroy** (2:53)
But it was incredible.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:54)
His peaks were stiff as hell, gang.

**Rachel McElroy** (2:56)
Such stiff peaks.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:59)
You could hang paintings on the wall with this cream.

**Rachel McElroy** (3:03)
Well, that doesn't sound good.

**Griffin McElroy** (3:04)
No, it doesn't. It was delightful. This was the pie. And I do appreciate you.

**Rachel McElroy** (3:08)
Thank you.

**Griffin McElroy** (3:09)
I'm just going to say in general, my father's day was wonderful this year. It was really great. You and the boys really came together. I imagine you did the lion's share of the actual effort in making it. But I had a wonderful little spa appointment in the morning, got a new croquet set, some flippy flops I'm super excited for.

**Rachel McElroy** (3:34)
Gus was really into croquet.

**Griffin McElroy** (3:36)
Yes. Hitting balls with a hammer. I was not surprised that he is very enthusiastic about it.

**Rachel McElroy** (3:42)
Until I was playing it with him and then he was struggling and then he said he didn't want to play the game anymore. So I don't know.

**Griffin McElroy** (3:47)
Well, he just needs the touch.

**Rachel McElroy** (3:49)
I don't know if we're going to get another round, but he wanted to play a lot yesterday.

**Griffin McElroy** (3:53)
The trick is to just wait because like Henry's like a huge frisbee guy now because of that frisbee. If we just wait until they're old enough to achieve competence at it. But yeah, I had me a great father's day.
Just a good time. Went to the mall, got a big Lego set.
