Speaker 1: there was that sneaker stores, Kicks still on Larch long
Speaker 1: gone unfortunately, and then they had a so Kicks shut down,
Speaker 1: and then they had this like pop up shop that
Speaker 1: was like a folk Kicks. It didn't even have walls,
Speaker 1: that just had a curtain that went around it and
Speaker 1: pipe and drape. Yeah, and then they were the people
Speaker 1: who worked there would like kind of disappear behind the
Speaker 1: curtain and come out with the shoes. And I bought
Speaker 1: two pairs of shoes there, and I'm pretty sure they
Speaker 1: were both fakes. Like they basically didn't work as shoes.
Speaker 1: They like squeaked and like made weird noises and like
Speaker 1: it was the silver bullets, the Airmax silver bullets. And
Speaker 1: when I pulled on you know that they have that
Speaker 1: little tag, it just like popped open. Oh so not great,
Speaker 1: but yeah, so it's a pop up, maybe like trading
Speaker 1: on the good name of Kicks to pedal their third rate.
Speaker 1: W Yeah, yeah, it's smart, it's smart. Nice all right,
Speaker 1: a J. We are going to get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the Virginia Governor's race. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about the coming GOP outrage over Thanksgiving prices. It
Speaker 1: might be our most expensive ever. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: the official top ten most popular Halloween candies and where
Speaker 1: they rank, and oh we have another ranking. So the
Speaker 1: take out just put together like the according to I
Speaker 1: think sales, like what are the ten most popular? And
Speaker 1: then they ranked them according to deliciousness. And I wanted
Speaker 1: to kind of get you guys thoughts on on Halleen Candy.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about a bunch of Facebook bullshit plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, aj, we do like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history? Yeah, and this
Speaker 1: was a little tough for me because my four year
Speaker 1: old son costs my phone every time. So it's all
Speaker 1: about dinosaurs actually, so he keeps asking Google to scan
Speaker 1: Albertosaurus carna Taurus delapadakis. And then the only thing that
Speaker 1: was actually from me was will sheba uno reach one cent? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: now I know I went down there. I I became
Speaker 1: a crypto person because I don't do drugs anymore. Wow,
Speaker 1: you know, so that's what you're doing? Ye? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just I saw that thing where like they were like yo,
Speaker 1: elon how much sheba coin you holding? It's like none,
Speaker 1: and then it's like only a little bit. That's when
Speaker 1: you jump in, right baby, Yeah, you out over your
Speaker 1: skis on this sheep. But who knows stuff? For what?
Speaker 1: Tell me what's going on on markets? Man? Upside down?
Speaker 1: That's what's going on here? No, no, man, I ot
Speaker 1: I just dumped another twenty dollars in there, so now
Speaker 1: I owned seven million. But who knows for a grand
Speaker 1: tul of three hundred and seven dollars. So there you go.
Speaker 1: But if that thing reaches a cent, then I will
Speaker 1: have seventy one dollars. Come on, there you go. What
Speaker 1: are we at one four millions of a cent at
Speaker 1: the moment? Exactly? Yeah? Yeah, cool? So is our dinosaur
Speaker 1: is kind of a singular obsession for your your four
Speaker 1: year old, where yeah, it was trains, it was it
Speaker 1: was it was trains for about months, and then dinosaurs
Speaker 1: are now dominating. Right now, we are in the midst
Speaker 1: of a sort of tail end of almost two year
Speaker 1: long train obsession with our five year old that I
Speaker 1: wish would turn into dinosaurs because at least those are
Speaker 1: those are a little bit more interesting to me. I mean,
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs are still fascinating because I'm every every time
Speaker 1: he talks about him, I'm like, why did I ever
Speaker 1: stop like getting into dinosaurs, right, I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: like it seems like it's weird that it doesn't carry
Speaker 1: over to adulthood because they're kind of incredible, much better
Speaker 1: than trains, much better than trains. Yeah, it wasn't that
Speaker 1: big on Thomas the train. Yeah, Thomas sucks. Thomas have
Speaker 1: dinosaur phases those kids I was. I was singularly into sharks,
Speaker 1: just shaws. Yeah, and just like wanting to be eaten
Speaker 1: by a shark, wanting to see a shark eat someone.
Speaker 1: I was you wait, you wanted to be eaten by
Speaker 1: a shark? Yeah, that was my that was my life
Speaker 1: skool deep. Yeah. I was also into like sla Sure movies.
Speaker 1: I just liked watching things be killed in movies. And
Speaker 1: I don't know I do that now actually, when yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, when I feel when I feel a little squirmy,
Speaker 1: you know, like I mean, you're are you out on
Speaker 1: this show in terms of as a recovering person or
Speaker 1: am I like you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: know you can you are yeah okay, yeah you're in
Speaker 1: the secret club. But yeah, no, when I when I
Speaker 1: get when I get those kind of urges now, I
Speaker 1: usually either by Crypto or watch the Little Boy in
Speaker 1: Jaws get eaten in the rest and that I've just
Speaker 1: been on Netflix for abound six months. Yeah you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's where I put all that kind of
Speaker 1: that drug energy that I used to see. I'm a
Speaker 1: sick fuck. I I like to watch Brady get smacked
Speaker 1: in the face by his morning mother. That's what I'm into,
Speaker 1: you know, the real heart heartache of it all. So
Speaker 1: I have the like I've noticed that a lot of
Speaker 1: the have a three year old two, and like I've
Speaker 1: noticed that a lot of the ship that like kids
Speaker 1: get obsessed with overlaps with the things that like blockbuster
Speaker 1: movies tend to be about, like you know, space, dinosaurs, sharks, superheroes,
Speaker 1: but like trains never really made the right like the
Speaker 1: I guess UNDERSTANDE three what else you got here? We
Speaker 1: watched that every day, just like Frozen. Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess it's like more ingredient in a lot of
Speaker 1: movies rather than like the whole concept of the movie.
Speaker 1: But I do for Siege. Yeah, I mean, there's no
Speaker 1: shortage of movies. I'm just wondering, like why Spielberg hasn't
Speaker 1: like made the train movie tend all trained movies that
Speaker 1: like you know, just saturated the world's train needs. And
Speaker 1: I think I think the explanation is it's the worst
Speaker 1: of the children's obsessions. It's just like the least interesting.
Speaker 1: And yeah it's yeah, it's about George Stevenson, the creator
Speaker 1: of the locomotive, And people were like dude, you'll never
Speaker 1: do it, and it's just called loco. There you go. Hey,
Speaker 1: we'll let it that out so that we can get
Speaker 1: so we can pitch that to Embling. Yeah, trash trucks
Speaker 1: also trucks and trash trucks are probably do for a
Speaker 1: big blockbuster. Tree's into some hard graph man. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: just like yeah man, heavy machinery. And I remember when
Speaker 1: I when we were over at the place and I
Speaker 1: showed him that like Dutch trash truck video. He was
Speaker 1: just he was like what he hadn't stopped talking about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like, where's the Netherlands? It could be worse. I
Speaker 1: saw a kid and his parents like run up to
Speaker 1: a police officer and like the kid was obsessed with
Speaker 1: police officers and like thought they were really cool. Don't
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, I'm glad that's not mine. Would you
Speaker 1: have that talk right now? And do you have that talk?
Speaker 1: The a cap talk that all kinds kind of like
Speaker 1: lit like sort of you know, like as much as
Speaker 1: you can without getting into into details, but you know,
Speaker 1: just talking about like how you know, because like they
Speaker 1: were into paw patrol for a brutal couple of months
Speaker 1: and you know, the cop there is, you know, a
Speaker 1: hero and it's I don't remember exactly how I put it,
Speaker 1: but I've definitely tried to like shade things a little
Speaker 1: bit so they're not like all cops are are the
Speaker 1: heroes who save us, all right? Like the police act
Speaker 1: as agents of the state who have a monopoly VI
Speaker 1: because I sometimes my son will say something along the
Speaker 1: lines were just like, oh, well he go to jail,
Speaker 1: and I like, correctly, we're a prison reform family. And
Speaker 1: then you know that, Yeah, goes over his head at
Speaker 1: this point, right, and you're like, we'll increment till we
Speaker 1: roll that out. Yeah, you start early. I mean that
Speaker 1: is one of the things that Paddington to another. It
Speaker 1: has a great train scene and also a big like
Speaker 1: prison chunk, and that blew my kid's mind, the like
Speaker 1: that they were asking me about prison from like a
Speaker 1: week after that, and it's like, yeah, no, it's funked up.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: It's not good. They do that like if you if
Speaker 1: you break a rule, you have to just go there.
Speaker 1: And it's not as fun as it looked in Pattenton.
Speaker 1: Either show him Oz and haven't watched OZ right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like now let me let's let's change the temple
Speaker 1: up a little bit. This is what's what's something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Asa? Oh man? You know, I I
Speaker 1: don't know the tenor of your show exactly just yet,
Speaker 1: but I I this is what I had. And I
Speaker 1: thought long and hard about this colon guard familiar with
Speaker 1: I see the commercials. Yeah yeah, no, well because I mean,
Speaker 1: for for those of you don't know, it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be a more can enient way of basically taking a colonoscope. Right,
Speaker 1: so they said to this box instead, right, And you know,
Speaker 1: and the only reason. I mean, I'm not squeamish about
Speaker 1: the colonoscope, but I mean in terms of just you
Speaker 1: have young children and setting a time for this, it's
Speaker 1: kind of tough. So I took the I took the box, right,
Speaker 1: and thinking that the box was going to be kind
Speaker 1: of exciting, like it's a skill game. You crap in
Speaker 1: a box and then someone comes and grabs it and
Speaker 1: then they let you know whether or not you have
Speaker 1: colon cancer or not. And it's just a lot more
Speaker 1: complicated than that, right, I mean I was expecting in
Speaker 1: my head, like you know, I I I'll poop in
Speaker 1: the box and then it will be just like in
Speaker 1: seven with Gwyneth Paltrow's head being transported by some like
Speaker 1: you know, faceless delivery man into the desert. But it's not.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. There's a lot of directions that I
Speaker 1: haven't really fully you know, read at this point. But
Speaker 1: also since like you know, the doctor basically puts on
Speaker 1: the request, all the color Guard people kind of harass you,
Speaker 1: like where is your sample? I get calls all the
Speaker 1: time from the color Guard people basically begging me to
Speaker 1: send in my box a poop and I haven't done it, man,
Speaker 1: just at this point. Yeah, I mean, color Guard is
Speaker 1: is not all it's cracked up to be. I mean,
Speaker 1: I thought there would be like a week of me
Speaker 1: kind of climbing all ladders trying to drop it in
Speaker 1: the box from different heights, you know, I mean, but
Speaker 1: it's not like that at all. There's just there's some
Speaker 1: there's a there's Q tips and just samples and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that little ship basket that you have to set up
Speaker 1: in the toilet. I feel like I just that that
Speaker 1: the cup would run it over, Like I don't know
Speaker 1: if I could regulate like when to be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's enough sample, that's enough sample. Sure I take that
Speaker 1: thing out. But that's that's a very maybe unique problem
Speaker 1: to me, like the challenge I was picturing like having
Speaker 1: to thread the camera up your asshole, but they're able
Speaker 1: to just use a sample to figure it out exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, um, you know twenty three and me right
Speaker 1: right right, don't get those boxes mixed up? Yeah, what
Speaker 1: is what something you think is underrated? And this was
Speaker 1: this was kind of sad because this is the first
Speaker 1: thing that came into my mind that I was excited
Speaker 1: about hard boiled eggs. But then then I then I
Speaker 1: moved off of that because I'm like, you know, it
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a show that everybody's gonna be like
Speaker 1: hard boiled eggs, love them, right, And so then I
Speaker 1: went to I went to chocolate malt oval tine, right,
Speaker 1: you know, which which my my my son is drinking
Speaker 1: a lot of. And you know, I it's one of
Speaker 1: those things that actually is a lot better than I
Speaker 1: always remember it. I mean, it's kind of like the
Speaker 1: tang of chocolate milks a little bit, right, but it's
Speaker 1: actually quite good. I mean, if you shake it vigorously,
Speaker 1: it gets all bubbly and it's a full with twelve
Speaker 1: but some minerals and actually very good for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they are you told us that they were a
Speaker 1: personal like you have a unique arrangement with them. They're
Speaker 1: personal sponsoring. You come on other people's podcasts and kind
Speaker 1: of you know, no, we're sponsored by Cortisode. Now, ovaltine
Speaker 1: is meant to be mixed with milk and not water, correct,
Speaker 1: because I feel like I do both. Wow, the water
Speaker 1: version really, I think the few times I've had the
Speaker 1: water version kind of fucked it for me. But the
Speaker 1: milk version does tend to be pretty delicious. You know.
Speaker 1: The way you do it is they call for two scoops,
Speaker 1: you do four, Then you do a splash of water
Speaker 1: just to kind of just to kind of get it wet,
Speaker 1: and then you hit it with the milk and then
Speaker 1: you just like you do kind of like bar shaking
Speaker 1: like you're making a martini basically, but it's ovaltine and
Speaker 1: then it right and uh, it's very very good and
Speaker 1: also not as heavy and thick as chocolate milk. Do
Speaker 1: you do the shake over the shoulder? Like here, what
Speaker 1: I do is I dump I have to. I have
Speaker 1: two cups and then I just kind of dump them
Speaker 1: back and forth and back and forth. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was always on the nest Quick as a kid, I
Speaker 1: don't think, and I would do the same thing as
Speaker 1: like it didn't I don't know, I don't know what
Speaker 1: the recommended serving amount is. I just did it till
Speaker 1: the ship was like super thick, Like now this tastes
Speaker 1: good to me. And then sometimes I'll eat the powder raw.
Speaker 1: My mom will catch me. She's like, what the fund
Speaker 1: is wrong with you? And I'm like coughing because it's
Speaker 1: like all drying out my mouth. I was an idiot,
Speaker 1: but I love that. Yeah, like the cinnamon challenge. Basically, Yeah,
Speaker 1: before it was that, it was me trying to eat
Speaker 1: just table spoons of nest Quick powder and realizing it
Speaker 1: was not even close to what I thought it was
Speaker 1: gonna be. No vitamins and minerals in that though, miles
Speaker 1: unlike chocolate, the oval tine, Well, I would then I
Speaker 1: do a line of Flintstones vitamins. Those are still the
Speaker 1: Flintstones vitamins have outlasted the cultural relevance of the Flintstones
Speaker 1: well by quite a bit. My kids do. Some kids
Speaker 1: just know it as a vitamin at this point. My
Speaker 1: kids somehow, no Yabba daba do. But they don't know
Speaker 1: what the flintstones is. And they do take the Flintstones vitamins.
Speaker 1: Where did you hear that? Boy? Yeah? But who told
Speaker 1: you this? Do you recognize this? Man? What's We don't
Speaker 1: show them the Flintstones. We do show them the old
Speaker 1: Winston cigarette commercials with starting the flintstones. All right, how
Speaker 1: healthy and smooth the Winston cigarettes are right right right?
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and the Virginia governor's race
Speaker 1: is a dead heat. This feels like one of those stories.
Speaker 1: I've seen it a lot of places. I have not
Speaker 1: let it in to this point enough to like start
Speaker 1: caring or following it, but it seems like maybe I
Speaker 1: have to. I feel like the guys at Crooked Media
Speaker 1: would really want me to give a shit about this.
Speaker 1: This They're gonna tell you why, it's going to predict
Speaker 1: everything that's going to happen for the next few years politically,
Speaker 1: which a lot of people are going all in on
Speaker 1: that take. But yeah, I mean, it's a it's an
Speaker 1: it's an interesting state. It's purple. And also you know
Speaker 1: the governor there has been trying to do the best
Speaker 1: by the people, while you also have a challenger who
Speaker 1: comes in and is trying to do the walking the
Speaker 1: fine line of like being maga. But because it's not
Speaker 1: a full blown red state, like you gotta kind of
Speaker 1: be like I mean, I don't agree with Steve Bannon.
Speaker 1: I just like some of his ideas type shit. And
Speaker 1: you know, messaging can like make or break a campaign,
Speaker 1: and Younken, who is running against Terry mcaullough, he may
Speaker 1: have found a winning message, you know, as I said,
Speaker 1: to win over especially the even keeled independence in the suburbs.
Speaker 1: As we noticed that something the GOP is very concerned
Speaker 1: about is that we don't want to turn off independence
Speaker 1: in the suburbs because you know, they're concerned parents who
Speaker 1: are deeply invested in their children's futures and they're not
Speaker 1: always into just full blown racism and dog whistling. So
Speaker 1: when they hear about this mother's story and how she
Speaker 1: was just absolutely just destroyed by the policies of Terry mccauliffe,
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that people are going to be
Speaker 1: voting young, and so I just want to play this
Speaker 1: clip just so you can understand. And just when you're
Speaker 1: listening to this woman speak, imagine someone who claims to
Speaker 1: have had an immaculate conception with the ghost of Stonewall Jackson.
Speaker 1: That's kind of her vibe. As a parent, it's tough
Speaker 1: to catch everything. So when my son showed me his
Speaker 1: reading assignment, my heart sunk. It was some of the
Speaker 1: most explicit material you can imagine. I met with lawmakers.
Speaker 1: They couldn't believe what I was showing them. The faces
Speaker 1: turned bright red with embarrassment. They passed bills requiring schools
Speaker 1: to notify parents when explicit content was assigned. It was bipartisan.
Speaker 1: It gave parents a say, the option to choose an
Speaker 1: alternative for my children. I was so grateful, But then
Speaker 1: Governor Terry McCullough vetoed it twice. He doesn't think parents
Speaker 1: should have a say. He said that he shut us out.
Speaker 1: Glenn Yonkan, he listens, he understands parents matter. Join me
Speaker 1: in voting for Glenn n Okay. So you heard it.
Speaker 1: My god. My child brought home a book and the
Speaker 1: things contained within. First, I want to say, any guesses
Speaker 1: on how old the child was six eleven. Okay, it
Speaker 1: was in a high school senior AP English Lit class
Speaker 1: and the book and he guesses here had to be
Speaker 1: an AP English English Lit Canterbury Tales. Okay, that's it
Speaker 1: was Tony Morrison's Beloved. Are you fucking kidding me? Yes,
Speaker 1: that's what she was so omg, gasp, my jaws on
Speaker 1: the floor because we're hearing about this story that's based on,
Speaker 1: you know, a terrible tale about this woman who had
Speaker 1: escaped slavery and was being brought back to bondage and
Speaker 1: was like trying to do anything she could to avoid that.
Speaker 1: That's the fucking book that this lady is talking about.
Speaker 1: They were talking about Tony Morrison's Beloved. She has been
Speaker 1: Now this didn't happened recently. She had began this campaign
Speaker 1: against the book in I don't know, like, well my
Speaker 1: child and she would say, my child has nightmares because
Speaker 1: of this book. I read it. It's a pretty powerful book.
Speaker 1: And again, you're in a class that's meant to be
Speaker 1: called edge level when you're in an AP class, So yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna start reading things that aren't just sucking, you know,
Speaker 1: Indian in the cupboard or something, and so yes, this
Speaker 1: is the the outrage that Glenn Yuncan is trying to
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, let me keep it super vague and
Speaker 1: just keep it that like this spooky, haunted Confederate ghost
Speaker 1: lady was just just shocked that her child had to
Speaker 1: hear about the brutality of chattel slavery. That's that's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: That's yeah. And you it does suggest because it is
Speaker 1: like notably vague you, I guess, I guess it does
Speaker 1: kind of picture in your mind because you're you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it must be just you know, hardcore fucking like whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, what, what exactly is happening here? That's and
Speaker 1: it's a Pulitzer prise winning like universally acknowledged work of genius. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hell yeah. But I mean I think it speaks to
Speaker 1: sort of like just in general what conservatives are all
Speaker 1: on about, right, because it's all iCal race theory and
Speaker 1: these things of just being like we can't keep like
Speaker 1: making people aware of our past. That's just too much,
Speaker 1: so we need to do everything we can to try
Speaker 1: and just put a sheet over it and then just
Speaker 1: keep moving and say that did That's just some other
Speaker 1: thing that happened eyes ahead. Yeah, you're gonna want to
Speaker 1: cut some eye holes in the sheet too, just to yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, and so you know your at the top.
Speaker 1: You don't want your torch to like catch other stuff
Speaker 1: from fire. No no, no, no, no no no, no
Speaker 1: no no. I think that's a vague thing that I
Speaker 1: think if most people learned learned what this woman was
Speaker 1: speaking about them, like what the fun like, Okay, most
Speaker 1: people if they took that class, about to read that
Speaker 1: book and people don't have nightmares. It's funny because people
Speaker 1: look checked up on her son's he's fine. He had
Speaker 1: a wedding announcement in the New York Times a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, so I think he's gotten over his
Speaker 1: Tony Morrison induced nightmares. That's a very specific type of
Speaker 1: person who has a wedding announcement in the New York
Speaker 1: Times too. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, hell yeah. That is amazing.
Speaker 1: And what why is this such an important race? Like,
Speaker 1: just catch me up on why I should have been
Speaker 1: paying attention to this. I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: look at it, you know, as a somewhat bell Weather
Speaker 1: kind of state, but more than that, like a serious
Speaker 1: sort of gauge of what people think of the parties
Speaker 1: given Biden's approval ratings and things that are happening to
Speaker 1: see if people are going to back a Democrat or
Speaker 1: if they start to see some support slipped towards Republicans.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just the thing to just for people
Speaker 1: for wants to try and sweat over. You know. Some
Speaker 1: people argue it's like not as important, but this is
Speaker 1: this is like the horse racification of politics. So like
Speaker 1: every single like, no, this one man, you gotta pay attention.
Speaker 1: Because I was saying before the recall with Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 1: isn't really an accurate depiction of what's happening in the
Speaker 1: state or like in the national politics, Like that was
Speaker 1: a group of Republicans trying to sort of game the
Speaker 1: system of like recalling a governor to try and get
Speaker 1: someone else in more so than like what do the
Speaker 1: people think of Democrats and Republicans at this moment? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, just like from a narrative standpoint in the
Speaker 1: mainstream media, it seems like the two major narratives that
Speaker 1: are like Biden's approval is like in the shitter, and
Speaker 1: but like the Republicans are still fucked. So it's like
Speaker 1: almost like, so this gives them an opportunity to be
Speaker 1: like one is less fucked than the other one. I
Speaker 1: guess yeah, Or maybe it's like do people care that
Speaker 1: there's nothing on the agenda actually being accomplished, so that's
Speaker 1: still warrant support. I don't know, Like, I mean, this
Speaker 1: is a very strange moment, as like most people who
Speaker 1: are like living in the harsh reality of America, like
Speaker 1: things need to happen. And then on the hill, it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, should we tax billionaires? Is that popular?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's certainly not popular with my donors. But
Speaker 1: from that perspective, would it be better if a Republican
Speaker 1: one so that the Democrats like got scared enough to
Speaker 1: actually everything is so reactionary? I don't either way, Like
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't have much confidence in this just
Speaker 1: general political system we have this country to begin with.
Speaker 1: So it's like I I don't know, sure, maybe, but
Speaker 1: I could also see them being like, see, this is
Speaker 1: why we went too far left. You know, there's always
Speaker 1: that there's always that logic too. Well, I will withhold
Speaker 1: my donation to Young Ken for now. All right, let's
Speaker 1: talk about Thanksgiving coming up? Thanksgiving and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: more expensive than past ones, thanks a lot, Biden. There's
Speaker 1: a number of factors making this year's dinner a bit
Speaker 1: price here. You know, there's supply chain ship, there's the
Speaker 1: labor ship, labor stuff going down. What what what's going on? Miles? Inflation, weather, everything.
Speaker 1: It's like an omni crazies. I mean, quick, quick question.
Speaker 1: Are y'all having Thanksgiving meals? Are you doing something this year?
Speaker 1: I made a lot harder for people, But this year
Speaker 1: are you guys planning on doing something? Are you? Oh? Me,
Speaker 1: you want me to go ok? Yeah? Yeah, and feel
Speaker 1: free to feel free to speak whenever. Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what order you going? Fine? Poor? Yeah? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Palm Springs is where we go and Thanksgiving with our family.
Speaker 1: We're those people nice. Yeah. I don't eat meat, so
Speaker 1: it's basically just yams and cream spin other things for me. Right,
Speaker 1: No to prodect No, I don't like I don't do
Speaker 1: tur frikey, I don't do like non alcoholic beer. I
Speaker 1: don't do any of that stuff. I mean, I just
Speaker 1: you're not looking for like replacements, No, not at all.
Speaker 1: What about We're we're still figuring it out because my
Speaker 1: in laws might be coming coming out from the East coast.
Speaker 1: So but see, but different probably than last year. Did
Speaker 1: you I don't think did you do anything because yeah,
Speaker 1: super local? Yeah I was the same way you have
Speaker 1: to just I honestly think I just like made salmon
Speaker 1: or something that thinks that I got to the store.
Speaker 1: But now I think they say a lot of things
Speaker 1: are happening to they feel that consumers are going to
Speaker 1: be more like spending more money this year to kind
Speaker 1: of make Thanksgiving a more premium experience because last year
Speaker 1: so many people were like not doing anything. So it's like,
Speaker 1: fuck it, let's go big. Let's maybe buy a nicer
Speaker 1: turkey this year than like the typical frozen one. But
Speaker 1: like for example turkeys, they're going to be more expensive,
Speaker 1: mostly because the cost of corn has basically doubled, like
Speaker 1: the corn feed that commercially raised turkeys eat that should
Speaker 1: have just gone through the roof. So again, costs are
Speaker 1: being passed on to the consumer. And again because of
Speaker 1: like this desire to make Thanksgiving more premium, there's also
Speaker 1: just like creating more interest in these sort of like
Speaker 1: other kinds of organic or humanly raised turkeys that people
Speaker 1: are tending to opt for. Then you look at stuff
Speaker 1: like package generals, they'll be higher because basically all of
Speaker 1: the ingredients that commercial bakers use has gone up because
Speaker 1: of supply chain issues. Canned sauces and things like that
Speaker 1: will cost a little bit more because domestic steel plants
Speaker 1: aren't putting up the same output. And then China is
Speaker 1: limiting steel production to like reduce carbon emissions. And there's
Speaker 1: just a ton of these like little things that are
Speaker 1: adding up to just sort of make the costs higher.
Speaker 1: Sweet potatoes, for example, their biggest thing is they don't
Speaker 1: have truckers to get the product off the farms and
Speaker 1: to market, so they're now paying because of the shortage
Speaker 1: and truckers they're they're like moving costs are double too,
Speaker 1: and as everyone says, that's just something that consumer is
Speaker 1: gonna have to literally eat. And extreme weather is another
Speaker 1: thing affecting the you know, coffee in Brazil to sugar
Speaker 1: cane refineries in the South. There's just a ton of
Speaker 1: things that are all coming together to just you know,
Speaker 1: bring the price up a tad bit. And already you
Speaker 1: see shortages like freaking havoc. They're like people say, there's
Speaker 1: like then you wooden pallets to ship stuff with, or
Speaker 1: or like cardboard containers because everything has just become more
Speaker 1: expensive or super scarce. Right, it just goes right to
Speaker 1: the consumer basically, right like that, because that's how that's
Speaker 1: the only way they can make it work. And I'll
Speaker 1: be like, fine, I'll eat this cost so then they
Speaker 1: can still get it from that. It's like, no, then
Speaker 1: everything the cost goes up now, because that's just sort
Speaker 1: of whizzing we're in. I just have one question. The
Speaker 1: corn thing that you said, the corn prices doubled and
Speaker 1: the corn is used to feed the turkeys. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: a lot of commercial Yeah, so their feed has gone
Speaker 1: up in costs to even raise the turkeys. So because
Speaker 1: of that, it's just like, well, ship their food costs more,
Speaker 1: So then this meat is gonna cost more because it's
Speaker 1: used to fatten the turkeys. Is it is? It? Is
Speaker 1: it like a Fuagra thing there, like a corn mix
Speaker 1: that they shoved down the turkey's throat and then make
Speaker 1: it back. That is definitely what I'm picturing in my
Speaker 1: mind when I picture like like how they feed, because
Speaker 1: those those things are massive in a in a way
Speaker 1: it seems no, I mean, I don't think. I I'd
Speaker 1: imagine there's some hormone stuff going on, because even as
Speaker 1: you've seen with chickens, like there's chickens, there's the breast
Speaker 1: meat is so intense that like they can like they're
Speaker 1: just like they can't walk. But yeah, that's again for
Speaker 1: most commercially raised factory turkeys. That's why I think, you know,
Speaker 1: if you're people will be like, oh, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: go organic, then the feed might be different and just
Speaker 1: sort of the praising practices are different, and then those
Speaker 1: costs go up. But I don't know if you've noticed,
Speaker 1: like there there's a lot of just small things like
Speaker 1: in day to day life that I am seeing become
Speaker 1: more scarce. Like when I went to the store the
Speaker 1: other day, normally like the produced bags, like at the
Speaker 1: one supermarket I go to, they're out of produce bags
Speaker 1: completely and like they've moved on to like using like
Speaker 1: really generic like thank you printed shopping bags for produce. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was like, what's going on. I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm guessing it's like a supply things
Speaker 1: like yeah, we haven't there like we it's this is
Speaker 1: the best we've gotten. You asked to speak to a manager.
Speaker 1: You said that, let me talk to a manager. This
Speaker 1: is acceptable. I absolutely and I slammed my low walks
Speaker 1: on the ground discuss. Yeah. I like don't have a
Speaker 1: like fully formed take on this or most things, but
Speaker 1: I do wonder, like why a lot of these costs
Speaker 1: are being passed on to the consumers and like inflation,
Speaker 1: and like the top story I read it for the
Speaker 1: past twenty four hours is like how much Disneyland tickets
Speaker 1: have gone up and since the year two thousand, it's
Speaker 1: like from to d sixty four. And I feel like
Speaker 1: that that's always something that's like being brought up by
Speaker 1: the like right more than the left, as like you know,
Speaker 1: the rights just like well, you know, it's all these
Speaker 1: prices that like these higher wages that we're paying the
Speaker 1: working class. And I just feel like that's almost like
Speaker 1: we just seed that to right because we're they they're
Speaker 1: the ones who like got economics degrees or whatever, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, it feels like they're like the people
Speaker 1: who are paying are this are the people who like
Speaker 1: the left is supposed to be you know, working on
Speaker 1: on behalf of but like they there's not like an
Speaker 1: aggressive argument about like around inflation and its effects and
Speaker 1: like how that kind of fox people just as much
Speaker 1: as a lot of the other ship that we like
Speaker 1: actually call out. Sure, I mean I think there's us
Speaker 1: also too, Like there's an element of you know, like
Speaker 1: you look at Disneyland or other places, they're doing everything
Speaker 1: they can to offset losses from now. So there's just
Speaker 1: like this thing of like gotta make up for that
Speaker 1: because we were not in as the black as much
Speaker 1: as we could be. But yeah, then there are just
Speaker 1: things that generally, because I mean if you look at
Speaker 1: supply chain issues too, there's just like places like Walmart
Speaker 1: and like and like hotel cartels and groups that do
Speaker 1: massive buys of certain items and they essentially can dictate
Speaker 1: to the suppliers like what the cost of something is
Speaker 1: because they're buying so much like they are the market essentially.
Speaker 1: So then that creates a bottleneck to or or just
Speaker 1: pressure on suppliers to even say, like, well, now we
Speaker 1: got to move our ship to China because if we're
Speaker 1: gonna do business with Walmart, we need to make better
Speaker 1: margins on like these massive like sort of buys that
Speaker 1: they're making on certain goods. It happens with drugs too,
Speaker 1: like pharmaceutical drugs and things like that. But I mean
Speaker 1: a lot of it too is like we have, you know,
Speaker 1: huge supply chain issues that many people at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the pandemics social economies are like, the supply chain
Speaker 1: is gonna get caught out there because everything has become
Speaker 1: overly centralized and there isn't enough support for like small
Speaker 1: business supply chain companies and things like that. Alright, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we will be right back
Speaker 1: to talk about how holdeen candy and we're back. And
Speaker 1: so the Takeout has been basically ranking and re ranking
Speaker 1: the list of the ten most popular Halloween candies, just
Speaker 1: ranked by sheer volume of sales, I guess. And so
Speaker 1: here here's their list of like the top ten in
Speaker 1: the order that they rank them in terms of deliciousness,
Speaker 1: coming in at the bottom Pop, which I think the
Speaker 1: big surprise there is that it's in the top ten
Speaker 1: of candies. I think that's like probably like Fox News
Speaker 1: is ratings, like it's more of a thing that is
Speaker 1: just a remnant of an older generation that's still hanging around.
Speaker 1: Number nine is Eminem's, which is the original Eminem's. It's
Speaker 1: not there like the regular original brown bag. Eminem's are
Speaker 1: in the top ten on their own. I feel like
Speaker 1: they should of just let Eminem's live as an entire category,
Speaker 1: but you know that, Yeah, okay, let's get through the list.
Speaker 1: I have to wrap my head around the totality before
Speaker 1: I can start getting upset. Eight Jolly Ranchers. Seven Hershey's
Speaker 1: Mini Bars. So this just going back to the Eminem's thing.
Speaker 1: They're letting Hershey's Mini Bars be exist as like the
Speaker 1: little chocolate bars, but also like the Mr. Good Bars,
Speaker 1: the special charcoal. Yeah, so they get like the whole spectrum.
Speaker 1: Six sour petch Kids, five Snickers for Starburst, three Skittles,
Speaker 1: two Twigs number one. Of course Reese's Cup m which
Speaker 1: I think they nailed most of it, Like I think
Speaker 1: in the like, Reese's is definitely the first thing I
Speaker 1: count up after I steal a kid's Halloween bag, and
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, that's always yeah, I get excited for those.
Speaker 1: I love Reese's pieces. Rees's piece as well. It's weird.
Speaker 1: I have like a weird I'm more chocolate above everything
Speaker 1: because in my mind, that's like the real that's the
Speaker 1: good ship on Halloween. It's chocolate. The fruit candies like
Speaker 1: starbursts and Skittles and things like that. Jolly I hate
Speaker 1: Jolly Ranchers, just put that out there. I think the
Speaker 1: apple green apple and stays like absolute ship. The watermelon
Speaker 1: stays like melted plastic. And I don't know, I I
Speaker 1: guess this makes sense. I Reese's at one in TwixT
Speaker 1: at two feels right for me. Question, okay, yeah. The
Speaker 1: only one I disagree with right now is I think
Speaker 1: the the ten, which is the Tutsie Pop. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know because it's not Tutsi Roll, right, said
Speaker 1: Tutsie Pop. Yeah, the oh yeah, the owl one right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see that someone had to pay
Speaker 1: someone to get Tutsi Pop in the top ten. I
Speaker 1: think it really is though. The like for instance, they
Speaker 1: they ranked these in a number of different ways, and
Speaker 1: one of the rankings was nostalgia, and Tutsie Pop came
Speaker 1: in at number one, which makes sense to me because
Speaker 1: like that is one that has been It's one of
Speaker 1: the first candies I ever remember eating. Also one of
Speaker 1: the first candies I ever remember being disappointed by. And
Speaker 1: but it like does have the owl that you know,
Speaker 1: it's just kind of kind of iconic, even even if
Speaker 1: it doesn't deserve to be. I don't think it's even
Speaker 1: iconic though, right, I mean it's iconic twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: It feels right, right, Who were or more iconic? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: emin M's too. I don't like. I don't think you
Speaker 1: know what? You know what? It makes it And we
Speaker 1: have a lot of em and M's right now in
Speaker 1: the house. But and I don't know why this never
Speaker 1: occurred to me. But they're all different colors but in
Speaker 1: the same flavor, like the candy colored show exactly right.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just why why even have color if
Speaker 1: they're not gonna taste any different Skittles? Different starbirds taste different.
Speaker 1: They have different personalities though. The green is really horny
Speaker 1: and the green is sexy. I think I guess green
Speaker 1: is sexy. Yellow stupid? Yeah, yeah, stupid, but like well meaning?
Speaker 1: I think, right? Which one is um the teacher from Whiplash?
Speaker 1: He does he play yellow or does he play the wounds?
Speaker 1: Sold doofy? Because like the red ones like man and
Speaker 1: the yellow ones like and then the green ones like
Speaker 1: I'm sexy. You know, I don't know who the J.
Speaker 1: Simmons J K. Simmons, That's what I was talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: j K. Simmons is the voice of the yellow eminem. Wow.
Speaker 1: I would say he's more good natured miles than than stupid.
Speaker 1: But that's been seeing. That's how I look and see.
Speaker 1: Everyone projects their own traits onto the eminem's. I think
Speaker 1: that's why it's a very powerful marketing tool. But with
Speaker 1: Tutsie pop too, do you ever do that thing like
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, you'd eat you got to a
Speaker 1: certain point where like you were done being patient to
Speaker 1: get to the Tutsi pop, You're just like fucking I'm
Speaker 1: chewing the funk out of this same blowpops too, So
Speaker 1: I really like I would replace blowpops on their blowpops absolutely.
Speaker 1: Blowpops would kick the ship out of Tutop would do
Speaker 1: a fucking back flip. If someone gave me a blowpop
Speaker 1: right now, Like that would truly be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you in years. That would really do
Speaker 1: it for me. I think there's like big Tutsi pop
Speaker 1: is holding them down because of also because of like
Speaker 1: the you know, just gum like dumb is gross. It
Speaker 1: gets all over the place. It's probably like a swallow
Speaker 1: it if you're a kid. Yeah, but I'd say you
Speaker 1: a blowpop, you chew on it and swallow. I'm thirsty
Speaker 1: and they swallow. I used to do it. I just
Speaker 1: followed so much gum as a kid, I had I
Speaker 1: was had a problem. I did like a Ocean's eleven
Speaker 1: style heist of a bunch of blowpops that our third
Speaker 1: grade teacher kept on his desk like a sure actually,
Speaker 1: I guess it was on the weekend. We went in
Speaker 1: and uh, we're able to steal a bunch of those,
Speaker 1: thus breaking to school on the weekend to steal some blowpops.
Speaker 1: Did you really? Yeah? I mean didn't break in. The
Speaker 1: door was open. They're doing a cleaning, doing the little
Speaker 1: cap of the January eleven. I'm picturing like you're doing
Speaker 1: the French guy on a thing underneath all the laser
Speaker 1: lights and basically just like right, yeah. There there was
Speaker 1: some dancing, there was some acrobatics, but it was fully
Speaker 1: for show. There was no no real needs need for it,
Speaker 1: right or the me getting dressed up as an ambulance
Speaker 1: driver and my friend faking a heart attack. You're like,
Speaker 1: I'm Lyman Zega and this is one thing I'm curious
Speaker 1: about what about savory snacks on Halloween because I look
Speaker 1: at I remember there was like one time someone blew
Speaker 1: up the paradigm and this neighborhood I was tricker treating
Speaker 1: out as a kid and gave like really good like
Speaker 1: chips I had never seen, and maybe they just had
Speaker 1: a chip company that like, maybe they're just trying to
Speaker 1: get rid of some dead inventory. But I remember being like, hey,
Speaker 1: that was cool because I like chips, and I know
Speaker 1: maybe candy is just sort of seen as more of
Speaker 1: a luxury good because apparently like don't eat too much
Speaker 1: candy rather than like, fine, he's as much sodium as
Speaker 1: you want. But like I'm always part of me is
Speaker 1: like when can I you know, I'd like a little
Speaker 1: savory treat too. This nes to be sweet supremacy. It's
Speaker 1: a nice ladle of oat meal to go right in
Speaker 1: the bag, just right in my mouth. I think, Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: like yeah, little cans of pringles. Nobody nobody's saying no
Speaker 1: to that, right, no, yeah, And that would you'd lose
Speaker 1: your ship as a kid, like getting those little mini
Speaker 1: mini tubes or now they got them in those little
Speaker 1: plastic like sleeve type things. But I don't know, just
Speaker 1: saying folks think about it. So you guys don't funk
Speaker 1: with Eminem's. You're not like the peanut. Eminem's are not
Speaker 1: a fixture on your candy out rushmore. Nope, No, Wow,
Speaker 1: Reese's pieces great. Yeah. I think Reese's pieces basically just
Speaker 1: like that's that's the proper use of the Eminem shape
Speaker 1: and candy coating about what is it's just two colors brown? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's brown. Okay, Well that's fine acceptable because just because
Speaker 1: you know they're that feels like it's a uniform for
Speaker 1: like Reese's, right, I mean, that's so yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: good point. Eminem's just added another color. What I mean,
Speaker 1: they threw in blue what like fifteen years ago and
Speaker 1: everybody like that was a big deal. But blue taste
Speaker 1: exactly the same as every other Eminem. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: think that's that's a genius of it too, because I
Speaker 1: almost I was like, fuck, dude, there's blue ones. I
Speaker 1: gotta buy them now, And then I was like, funk,
Speaker 1: I'm just eating a bunch of Eminem's stale. It would
Speaker 1: be a great magic check or someone can be blindfolded
Speaker 1: and then kind of distinguished between the colors of eminem right,
Speaker 1: that is like that that would be a great, like
Speaker 1: completely useless superpower that somebody has. Like that you could
Speaker 1: taste a commercial food. America's got talent. Yeah, that's yellow five. Wow?
Speaker 1: Oh are you sure about this? Folks? This is yellow five.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm eating, but I like it.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember when this was I think like
Speaker 1: thirty years ago when they brought back the red and like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was urban legend or this,
Speaker 1: if this was like actually true, but like the red
Speaker 1: was gone because it was giving people cancer. You don't remember,
Speaker 1: Maybe that that might have just been something I made up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought that red always existed though right now, Red
Speaker 1: was gone for a while. Red disappeared in the eighties
Speaker 1: after a study link to certain red food die to cancer,
Speaker 1: despite Mars not actually using that die. So, uh, Lancaster
Speaker 1: Online never lied to me before because I've never heard
Speaker 1: of it. But so mar zones and and hims Mars
Speaker 1: bar still exist. Mars bars, I think should crack the
Speaker 1: top ten. Actually, I mean very good candy bar. What
Speaker 1: is Mars bar? Right? Actually, I'm not familiar. Mars bar
Speaker 1: is kind of like Snickers, but almost like a little
Speaker 1: more of a sophisticated Snickers. I feel like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: imported caramel, I'm not sure, but might have. I think
Speaker 1: there's new get involved, and there's and almonds. I think
Speaker 1: is the thing that makes it different than the Snickers.
Speaker 1: What's what are the what's the nuts and Snickers? Peanuts? Peanuts? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is it? Well? Then there's also almond Snickers, but those
Speaker 1: have a weird off color rapper that makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: What do you think of white chocolate reces? I don't
Speaker 1: like it as much as regular recess, but I will
Speaker 1: allow it, for sure, I'll allow it. Not gonna bide,
Speaker 1: but I'm again I'm I'll reach for the original too.
Speaker 1: And now those other ones that they got with the
Speaker 1: potato chips inside, have you had those? I've had the
Speaker 1: pretretels in there. I really chip one that one fucking
Speaker 1: bangs to do the chips steak crunchy. Oh yeah, like
Speaker 1: almost criminally, So yeah, you know that's what like, I'm
Speaker 1: very suspicous. I'm like, either the chip's gonna be saggy
Speaker 1: as fucked, in which case I'm not gonna enjoy it,
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be crispy, in which case, like they've
Speaker 1: used some chemical on this that should not be like
Speaker 1: is definitely not permitted in the EU, like be made
Speaker 1: of me destic into jail that they used to take
Speaker 1: the moisture out of stuff, because I mean it it is.
Speaker 1: It's wild, Like how much you're like, oh, ship, that's crunchy, okay,
Speaker 1: filling lose, But I love the sweeten savor. So the
Speaker 1: Mars looks like it is a Snickers bar, except it's
Speaker 1: got like a layer of just kind of sort of
Speaker 1: soft chocolate instead of the peanuts and caramel up top.
Speaker 1: Is that what I'm is that what I'm picking up here?
Speaker 1: I guess I'm there's something more special about Mars. It
Speaker 1: is not just soft chocolate whatever that means. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: looks like I think caramel. Yeah, I'm seeing the camel.
Speaker 1: The Wikipedia photograph on the Mars page just sliced it
Speaker 1: with like a very sharp knife. So the caramel is
Speaker 1: not like stretchy at all. They've just it just looks
Speaker 1: like they've surgically bisected it for some reason. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: So Jolly Ranchers was one that I was really into
Speaker 1: as a kid. They are a real pain in the
Speaker 1: ass though, if I if I'm being honest with myself,
Speaker 1: like having to have something in your mouth for that long, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, yeah, no time for that anymore, because
Speaker 1: then there's like the little wrapped up rectangular prism ones.
Speaker 1: Then they have the ones that just used to be
Speaker 1: like straight up like flat strips sticks like yeah, and
Speaker 1: those are those are like heavily traded in my elementary school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, kids would go to like Rice's Flame Market,
Speaker 1: which was like outside of like Jersey, and by huge
Speaker 1: bags of the Jolly Rancher sticks and then come in
Speaker 1: and yeah it was like you know, trading cigarettes in prison,
Speaker 1: but with the sticks I mean yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: Jolly Ranchers or Jr's as they were called. Data and
Speaker 1: blow pops were absolutely like fucking currency on the on
Speaker 1: the schoolyard. Yeah. If you and especially if you've got
Speaker 1: like the watermelon Jolly Ranchers and the fire sticks, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Jolly Ranchers cinnamon fire were incredible. Yeah. I always
Speaker 1: like remember, like that's like the cool kids. They will
Speaker 1: have the sticks will leave the rapper on like they
Speaker 1: were eating a burrito, just peeling it back. As you
Speaker 1: like worked your way down, Like I have a very
Speaker 1: specific image in my mind of like it's the eighth
Speaker 1: graders are all like, yeah, I think that's gonna come
Speaker 1: back now that you mentioned it. I think I can
Speaker 1: just say a picture like machine Gun Kelly with like
Speaker 1: the unwrapped halfway wrapped jolly stick on the red carpet,
Speaker 1: and people like, oh my god, oh yeah, and I
Speaker 1: believe me. I mean that would just like skyrocket like
Speaker 1: Jolly Rancher sticks would then crack the top five independently easily.
Speaker 1: Do you think the long flat ones are permitted in prison?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like you just inadvertently turned them into ships,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah you could, Yeah you could. You could
Speaker 1: file that down and get a good edge on that problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a lighter to just kind of harden it. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: so Miles, you're you're ranking would have all chocolate up top,
Speaker 1: including her She's many bars. Yeah yeah yeah, and even
Speaker 1: Eminem's like I'm not like because I didn't I remember, Like,
Speaker 1: starbursts are fine. I like starbursts, but again I'm I
Speaker 1: will always pick the chocolate candy over the fruit candy.
Speaker 1: That's how it is. I really there skittle, starbursts and
Speaker 1: star Patch Kids. I'm I've gotten a new appreciation for
Speaker 1: them as my palette has become more to find, you know,
Speaker 1: as an aged not my juvenile only. Did your wife
Speaker 1: eat the sour Patch kids when she was pregnant? Did
Speaker 1: you get the ten pound bag of sour Patch kids
Speaker 1: to work with the nausea? Yeah? I invested in that
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, I know. And having that many sour
Speaker 1: Patch kids around it's kind of fun, right, It's just
Speaker 1: like like they're always there to make a little sour
Speaker 1: Patch army. But I mean it's just like, I mean,
Speaker 1: think about like when you get like some sour Patch
Speaker 1: kids and you're basically done with the bag, and this
Speaker 1: year never done. It's like, oh, if I'm in the
Speaker 1: mood for sour Patch kids, I have a good seven
Speaker 1: eight pounds of them. You know, I disposal it anytime
Speaker 1: I could use a ladle to procure something just for
Speaker 1: the fun of it. Like, here's another scoop and when
Speaker 1: you're done with it, is there like two pounds of
Speaker 1: sugar at the bottom. Yeah, it really is. It looks
Speaker 1: pretty nasty, but not as bad as my old M
Speaker 1: and MS bags. I mean, if you just like have
Speaker 1: like the mini bags of Eminem's, they get like real
Speaker 1: Saggy asked very quickly. And I think that's part of
Speaker 1: the reason I don't like the M and M s,
Speaker 1: because I just feel like they're discarded very easily. Mm hmm, yeah,
Speaker 1: especially the brown bags and the Yeah, with the classic Eminem's,
Speaker 1: I feel like there is a point that you are
Speaker 1: correct that, like those are the ones that I'll find
Speaker 1: like in a drawer somewhere like two Halloween's later, And
Speaker 1: they have like that built in you know, best by
Speaker 1: date in the sense that if you open them in
Speaker 1: they're like white. It's usually a bad sign, but but
Speaker 1: it's weird how quickly they can go from kind of
Speaker 1: fresh to looking like they were left out in a thunderstorm. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't know that no other candy does that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't even do eminem mcflurry's, you know what I mean. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: Eminems are not good and ice cream because they get
Speaker 1: too hard and then to break your teeth. Sorry, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm trying, Eminem. I'm trying to work with you, but
Speaker 1: I think it's out of the top ten by the
Speaker 1: end of this. Do they have like a hazel nut
Speaker 1: like nutella type Eminem. I'm sure they've tried it. Apparently
Speaker 1: there's a new Eminem popcorn, chocolate cover popcorn that is
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that would look like other
Speaker 1: than just chocolate cover popcorn, and they're calling it Eminem.
Speaker 1: But they really fumbled the Eminem pretzel that could have
Speaker 1: been could have been great. Oh I remember, Jude. I
Speaker 1: remember that came out because I think I saw, like
Speaker 1: in one of the seasons of Hard Knocks, like Rex
Speaker 1: Ryan kept eating them and I was like, oh, ship, dude,
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan is living that fucking life. He's like, I
Speaker 1: think there's like a moment He's like, Dad, I got pretzel.
Speaker 1: Eminem's the best commercial I've ever seen. Even I'm not
Speaker 1: even like a Jets fan or anything. I was like,
Speaker 1: I just like Rex Ryan was just kind of like
Speaker 1: a living meme and like my friend group and we
Speaker 1: were just always like to look at this dude, he's living.
Speaker 1: He's living all right. Well, a j that's been such
Speaker 1: a pleasure having you on the day. He's like, guys, man,

Speaker 1: in a middle grade off. And then last one at
