Rl_wnyc_org_small JA: I’m Jad Abumrad
RK: I’m Robert Krulwich, we’re from Radiolab
JA: So Robert, say it’s been a long a week, you’re exhausted, you get home Friday night and you are starving.  What do you do?
RK: Well, I could go out for a relaxing dinner...
JA: Yeah, maybe start with a small appetizer...
RK: Cheap bottle of wine just to unwind...
JA: Some cheesecake...
RK: I love cheesecake.
JA: Yeah, exactly.
RK: Well, this is getting kind of pricey.
JA: Yeah, before you know it  you’ve spent $40.
RK: Maybe $50.00.  We’ve got a really bold idea for you.  This weekend instead of going out...
JA: Stay in!
RK: And as for what to eat...
JA: One little word for you:
(shaking sound)
RK: It cost 99 cents...
JA: Comes in it’s own convenient cup...you’ve just got to dig your pinky nail into there...rip it off...
JA: RAMEN!
RK: RAMEN!
(slurping sounds)
JA: Mmmmm, this is so good.
RK: Very good.
JA: You can’t beat it.
RK: It’s all over my shirt.
JA: And then send the money you would have spent on dinner,
RK: to us.
JA: 40 bucks, 50 bucks...
RK: Send a dinner's worth our way!
JA: Exactly,  honor us with Ramen.
RK: Mmm, very hot Ramen.
JA: You know what I like to do with my Ramen, I like to crack a little egg...
RK: Cilantro...
JA: A little hot sauce.  Maybe scallions would be good.
RK: And you could feel good about that supporting public radio.
JA: And satisfying your craving for delicious salty broth.
(slurp)
RK: My glasses are all foggy.
