00:00:20
boboballew
Do you think the guy who made that remembers that he made that song?
00:00:25
Jack Gardner
Probably not, dude. I bet he cranks out so many of those.
00:00:26
boboballew
i don't think so either. yeah
00:00:30
Jack Gardner
I was actually thinking about the song because I haven't really listened to it that much. um And when we were just recording the previous one, I was like more excited for the podcast, but I didn't have as much time to just like think about the

Sink Replacement Disaster
00:01:50
boboballew
wedding recap. One would have been really fun. Like there was some stuff we should have been potting about over the last year.
00:01:55
Jack Gardner
Yeah, lot to discuss, but here we are, talking about nonsense.
00:01:57
boboballew
Yeah. Podcasting. Yeah. Yeah. So you were going to say a story or something on the last one.
00:02:04
Jack Gardner
Okay, yeah, so... I was, this was, it happened a couple of weeks ago and I was like just kind of figuring out all my work stuff and like I was getting over the hump and things were like really busy.
00:02:10
boboballew
hmm.
00:02:17
boboballew
Sure.
00:02:17
Jack Gardner
Um, but I was just getting through it and everything was kind of sorted out. And then the same day, my sink had started to have a bit of a leak. Like it was just dripping a little bit. So I turned the water off under the sink and then Alex and I had our landlord send out a guy to, to fix it. Um,
00:02:36
Jack Gardner
And when he came over, he, I was actually supposed to go play golf. I was like completely dressed in golf clothes. And then my friend was there. He was going to, and I was like all right, I'm go to try make tea time. This guy's got to come and fix my sink, but I should be able to make it. And when he comes, like everything's going well, initially he replaces the sink.
00:02:55
Jack Gardner
He hadn't cooked hooked it up to the water yet.
00:02:57
boboballew
Yeah.
00:02:57
Jack Gardner
And. I was like, okay, I should be able to make golf. And he's like, yeah, like everything's looking good. And then he's like, got the cold water thing on, but he's like, yeah, I can't get the hot water on.
00:03:08
Jack Gardner
Like, I'm i'm not sure what it is. Like something's wrong with the threading or something. He's like sitting there messing with it. And then at one point he does something and then water just starts going like, gushing, gushing out from under the sink.
00:03:18
boboballew
No, shit.
00:03:21
Jack Gardner
And he's like, turn off the water, shut off. And I was like, oh my gosh. So I like run to my garage.
00:03:26
boboballew
Did anything get, like, damaged?
00:03:28
Jack Gardner
So, I run to my garage and i like know where a, a water shutoff is and I turn it off and it doesn't do anything.
00:03:35
boboballew
Mm-hmm.
00:03:36
Jack Gardner
and he's like, no, you've got to turn off the one down the street.
00:03:37
boboballew
Oh, no.
00:03:39
Jack Gardner
And I'm like, i don't know where that is. And then he was like, okay. And then in the meantime, this guy's like holding a trash can like over it. And he's like soaked, like head to toe, like ah his clothes are like completely drinch.
00:03:53
Jack Gardner
Like it literally looks like this guy jumped in a pool and the water's like, he's just getting like, yeah, he's getting like, the water's coming out with some, heat too like he's getting blasted by the water it was crazy and i was like oh and i i'm like just standing there like in my golf clothes like what the hell is going on and um he eventually like does something to get it back on but then there's water like so my place is all wood floors which is like obviously bad like you don't want it to get wet and then
00:03:57
boboballew
He's literally that wet.
00:04:02
boboballew
Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:18
boboballew
yeah
00:04:25
boboballew
Right. i
00:04:26
Jack Gardner
there's water, like my whole kitchen and like going into my living room has like a good chunk of water. Like the floors are soaked. So then, he and I just like get out towels and we're just like drying, like everything.
Post-Flood Cleanup
00:04:40
Jack Gardner
And it was like, I didn't have enough towels to dry everything. And then it was still like there. And then he went and got a ah shop vac from his house or something. And then he was like vacuuming up all of the water and he like moved.
00:04:52
Jack Gardner
We like pushed all the furniture to like the other side of the room and he like pulled out the refrigerator and the dishwasher and stuff and was like vacuuming up all the water.
00:04:58
boboballew
dude.
00:05:00
Jack Gardner
And This whole thing took like hours and I had just gotten through like, a no, I did not.
00:05:05
boboballew
So I'm guessing you didn't en golf.
00:05:07
Jack Gardner
I, we're just going to play nine holes. This was after work. And I was still working on the stuff with the guy when my friend finished nine holes. Like it was crazy.
00:05:16
boboballew
ah
00:05:16
Jack Gardner
Um, yeah, it it took like the better part of two hours, but it was wild. And then, um, he ended up leaving his like some fans for us to just blow and like dry the, the floors and stuff.
00:05:27
boboballew
the floors.
00:05:28
Jack Gardner
Um, And then I don't know how this is related, but I think it is. We started getting ants in our house
Ant Infestation Aftermath
00:05:36
Jack Gardner
afterwards. Like there were a shit ton of ants. Like, is that a thing?
00:05:38
boboballew
Ansel of what would, yeah. I don't know. Probably not.
00:05:42
Jack Gardner
Okay. I was like, wow. right. I was like, that answers my question. I've been i've been postulating on this. um But yeah, ants start coming in. So I got some of those ant bait things. Do you know about those?
00:05:53
Jack Gardner
Like those little house things.
00:05:55
boboballew
Let me ant bait trap. Oh, sure. Yeah, no, I had an ant problem like a couple years ago, i because they take a little bit of the poison out and bring it back to the like nest or whatever, right?
00:06:00
Jack Gardner
and you Do you know how those work?
00:06:09
Jack Gardner
Yeah, isn't that crazy?
00:06:10
boboballew
Yeah. And then it like kills them there, which is kind of nice.
00:06:11
Jack Gardner
And you know that... Yeah. And what's insane about ants is like, I noticed there were a ton on the ground. They were all dying. And there were dead ants on the ground. I came back later and there weren't dead ants on the ground anymore. Apparently they pick up the dead ants and like bring them back to their...
00:06:28
Jack Gardner
colony too and like put them in a separate like graveyard area so that it's it's insane
00:06:32
boboballew
Whoa. Ants are crazy. They have like a real society and shit. and you're like
00:06:36
Jack Gardner
i know it's insane
00:06:37
boboballew
It's funny to imagine that like if there was a species relative like our size to ants like and they look down on our society and just viewed us like we do ants and like, oh man, there's a person in my house. I gotta get the person poisoned.
00:06:52
Jack Gardner
ah
00:06:53
boboballew
Yeah.
00:06:54
Jack Gardner
Yeah. um But yeah, it was it was crazy. um And then the guy so he left his fans there and I still have his fans and I'd like text him i'm like, hey, do you want your fans back?
00:07:04
boboballew
How long ago was this again?
00:07:04
Jack Gardner
And he said, this is like two weeks ago.
00:07:07
boboballew
Damn, it's been a minute too.
00:07:10
Jack Gardner
Yeah, it was pretty crazy, though. I've just like will never forget this dude just getting.
00:07:12
boboballew
The floors are good?
00:07:14
Jack Gardner
Yeah, I think they're fine. Luckily, we rent.
00:07:15
boboballew
That's so funny he was that wet.
00:07:16
Jack Gardner
so It was getting absolutely blasted by water.
00:07:21
boboballew
Like a fucking fire hose or something.
00:07:21
Jack Gardner
Like, it was so... Literally. And then he was, like, he was like covering it like with his hands, and he's like, turn off the water! And I was like, oh my god.
00:07:31
Jack Gardner
It was so funny.
00:07:32
boboballew
so So ah how is the new place been?
00:07:36
Jack Gardner
It's awesome. I absolutely love it. It's it's the best.
00:07:39
boboballew
Yeah.
00:07:40
Jack Gardner
Yeah, because we have um three bedrooms now, and three three full bathrooms.
00:07:44
boboballew
Whoa.
00:07:46
Jack Gardner
So...
00:07:46
boboballew
Three full bathrooms too?
00:07:48
Jack Gardner
Yeah, and we used to just have two bedrooms, one bathroom. So like the three bathrooms has been amazing.
00:07:51
boboballew
yeah
00:07:53
Jack Gardner
And then it's laid out like um the first floor just has this room, which is my office and then a bathroom and then like the living room and kitchen. And then upstairs is our room and then the guest room.
00:08:05
Jack Gardner
um And we just have so much space now. It's awesome. And like we have a garage and and everything. it's It's been really cool.
00:08:13
boboballew
Yeah, um have you it's probably much more conducive to having people stay. I imagine.
00:08:19
Jack Gardner
Oh, yeah. That's that's the thing is like when people stayed previously.
00:08:20
boboballew
Have you guys had people yet?
00:08:22
Jack Gardner
um Yeah, like my brother stayed here and then Alex's mom has come up and like some people have stayed. But it's we have like plenty of room now. and we We got a new couch, too, that has this like it's kind of crazy.
00:08:34
Jack Gardner
Like it has a chase lounge on one side, but then the rest of it will like.
00:08:37
boboballew
A chase lounge.
00:08:39
Jack Gardner
It's like that part that's like long and you can put your feet up.
00:08:42
boboballew
Oh, sure. It's like a sectional.
00:08:44
Jack Gardner
Yeah, basically. And then the, it has another part that just like pulls out and like gets even with that across the whole couch.
00:08:51
boboballew
ah
00:08:52
Jack Gardner
So that's like another bed too.
00:08:52
boboballew
Oh, nice.
00:08:53
Jack Gardner
So we have like plenty of room for people to stay and it's like, it's pretty big. It's, it's like a townhouse. So we share a wall with, um, on one side, but not on the other.
00:09:03
boboballew
Oh, nice.
00:09:05
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:09:05
boboballew
You have a backyard too?
00:09:05
Jack Gardner
It's, it's kind of, it's like a little patio. Like it I wouldn't even call it a backyard really.
00:09:11
boboballew
Like you couldn't put a grill out there.
00:09:12
Jack Gardner
It's like, No, we actually do have a pizza oven out there. um You can put a grill, but there's like there's no grass or anything really.
00:09:16
boboballew
ah Oh, okay.
00:09:20
Jack Gardner
it's just like kind of a...
00:09:20
boboballew
So you wouldn't like really want a grill out there anyways, but the pizza oven's nice.
00:09:23
Jack Gardner
Maybe, i mean, it's ah it's been out there.
00:09:24
boboballew
Pizza oven's dope.
00:09:27
Jack Gardner
i've been I've been smoking cigars out there occasionally. I've been like kind of getting into cigars.
00:09:30
boboballew
Oh, yeah. Yeah, dude. Time comes for us all, huh?
Cigar Conversations
00:09:35
boboballew
You're just like full on.
00:09:35
Jack Gardner
Yeah. You know, it's funny right before we did this, when i like right after i got my car washed, I went and to total wine and I bought three cigars and I was just like standing in there, like contemplating which cigars to get for like 10 minutes.
00:09:36
boboballew
Yeah.
00:09:49
boboballew
Oh, wow.
00:09:50
Jack Gardner
I think I landed on some good ones. so I was like, I'm going going splurge a little bit here.
00:09:53
boboballew
ah Do you get a big one?
00:09:55
Jack Gardner
I did get one like decent sized one, yeah.
00:09:55
boboballew
Like what? Like.
00:09:58
Jack Gardner
But I kind of like smaller ones.
00:09:58
boboballew
Because that's my problem with cigars.
00:09:59
Jack Gardner
Because the big ones, the big ones, it's it's too much.
00:10:00
boboballew
I like small ones take too long.
00:10:04
Jack Gardner
it's I don't need all this.
00:10:04
boboballew
I don't want to sit there for two and a half hours, like smoking a cigar.
00:10:07
Jack Gardner
And it's not so much that, like, it's the it just makes me feel kind of sick. But my...
00:10:11
boboballew
Oh, dude, the the last time I smoked a cigar was with Alex Kennedy, like in 2020. And like, like the next day I woke up and like my mouth tasted like cigar.
00:10:23
boboballew
I actually think I've had like half a cigar since then once or twice. But like, I woke up the next day, my mouth tasted like cigar. And like, I felt like I had a terrible headache.
00:10:34
boboballew
i was like, I don't like this.
00:10:36
Jack Gardner
Yeah. And it's interesting. So I like went with my dad. This is previously. um and We got some cigars at the smoke shop he goes to in Grapevine.
00:10:47
boboballew
Oh, I smoked a cigar with you and your dad golfing. Okay, so I've smoked.
00:10:49
Jack Gardner
Ah.
00:10:50
boboballew
Yeah, okay. I've smoked a handful since then. Maybe I've gotten better at it. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, though.
00:10:54
Jack Gardner
Yeah, but we got some there and I liked the ones that he got. But my my dad was like, yeah, these weren't that great. Like they kind of like had a taste in your mouth and stuff. And I was like, okay, well, I've never had like a nice cigar.
00:11:07
Jack Gardner
So I went and I spent like, I bought three cigars and they were like, two of them were like 16 bucks and then one was like 10. So I was, I got some like, whoa.
00:11:13
boboballew
Okay. I mean, that's like... I, what?
00:11:18
Jack Gardner
Oh, I just, I just opened a new tab on accident, but nothing.
00:11:20
boboballew
I would have thought this a nice cigar was more expensive than that. So that's like, honestly less than I have thought.
00:11:24
Jack Gardner
Now they're the it's interesting. The more expensive ones are like pretty small, but they were, they were like had such good reviews.
00:11:28
boboballew
Yeah.
00:11:30
Jack Gardner
And I was like, I'm just going to get, I'm going to get the,
00:11:32
boboballew
What is there like some sort of website where people like review cigars and stuff like.
00:11:35
Jack Gardner
So they have, um there's at least a total wine. i don't even know like how this where this number comes from, but they have a score out of 100, basically.
00:11:43
boboballew
huh. Oh.
00:11:46
Jack Gardner
And then I saw one of them, like this company made, like it was rated cigar of the year or something. So i was like I'm going to get some nice ones and then see if I i' like it. But I'm excited.
00:11:55
Jack Gardner
I might smoke one this afternoon.
00:11:55
boboballew
I mean, I suppose it makes sense that there'd be like a sommelier for cigars.
00:12:02
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:12:02
boboballew
You know what I mean?
00:12:03
Jack Gardner
People are into it, dude. But that's like with anything, because now that I've been kind of getting into it, I want to do some research and like make sure that I'm you know getting good stuff.
00:12:12
boboballew
If you're going to do it, do it.
00:12:13
Jack Gardner
Yeah, exactly.
00:12:14
boboballew
Yeah. Sure.
00:12:14
Jack Gardner
But whenever you go, it's particularly on Reddit. When I'm getting into a new hobby, you just see how deep people go into everything.
00:12:20
boboballew
Sure.
00:12:23
Jack Gardner
It's it's unbelievable.
00:12:25
boboballew
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:25
Jack Gardner
Yeah. hu But that's like like what I was talking about earlier with the keyboards. The mechanical keyboard subreddit, those people are insane. like They'll have like 15 keyboards and stuff.
00:12:34
boboballew
Dude, yeah. I mean, you don't need more than one.
00:12:36
Jack Gardner
ah one for One for the office, one for at home.
00:12:38
boboballew
The fact that you have two is like, that's a lot of keyboard, man.
00:12:44
Jack Gardner
That's reasonable.
00:12:44
boboballew
Yeah, I guess that makes sense because you're like hybrid now. Yeah,
00:12:48
Jack Gardner
Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:49
boboballew
yeah i ah I don't know all this target cigars and stuff that was making me want nicotine really bad. Like I haven't had nicotine like four days. And now we're talking cigars.
00:12:58
Jack Gardner
No.
00:12:59
boboballew
I'm like, I'm like, do I go steal one of my roommate's cigarettes? with like and No, I go step outside, but my roommate wouldn't care if I smoked inside.
00:13:02
Jack Gardner
and Just smoke it inside. ah
00:13:08
boboballew
We have like an occasional indoor cigarette policy.
00:13:09
Jack Gardner
Nice.
00:13:12
Jack Gardner
ah Ah, as long as it's occasional.
00:13:12
boboballew
Yeah, occasional. Yeah, like, like very, very rare.
00:13:18
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:13:18
boboballew
Like, Like one time I had a girl over I was seeing and I was like, all right, this is I'm I'm I'm checking my occasional cigarette inside.
00:13:28
Jack Gardner
Still look cool in front of her.
00:13:28
boboballew
I'm cashing it in. Yeah.
00:13:30
Jack Gardner
Check this out. ah Like, geez, this guy's a monster.
00:13:32
boboballew
yeah You want to see I'm a dirt bag.
00:13:34
Jack Gardner
Yeah,
00:13:35
boboballew
ah Those shoes kind of grows into that. ah
00:13:40
Jack Gardner
yeah, nice.
00:13:43
boboballew
Oh, man. Yeah, but every once in a while, like, just, like, to not be, like, a normal thing. I don't know. It's crazy because they're, like, the best, but they're so, like, bad.
00:13:55
Jack Gardner
Yeah, what's up with that? It's like the same thing with Mike and Ike's. Like, if i could if I could, I would just sit there and eat Mike and Ike's.
00:13:58
boboballew
Is that really, like, your candy?
00:14:01
Jack Gardner
No, I don't know. I just came to mind.
00:14:03
boboballew
Mike and Mike says it's good candy.
00:14:03
Jack Gardner
Yeah,
00:14:04
boboballew
It was my favorite candy when I was a kid.
00:14:06
Jack Gardner
yeah I like Mike and Ike's a lot. I like, um you know what i really like is hot tamales.
00:14:12
boboballew
It's like a candy I would like a couple of.
00:14:12
Jack Gardner
like cinnamon.
00:14:14
boboballew
I used to buy a box of it at the movies when I was a kid, too.
00:14:15
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:14:17
boboballew
But like the idea like eating a whole box of like Mike and I or because a big box, too, I'd be like, this is too much.
00:14:23
Jack Gardner
Hot tamales.
00:14:24
boboballew
yeah
00:14:24
Jack Gardner
I could do it. I could do it. How do you feel about good and plenty?
00:14:31
boboballew
um So when I was in Europe, I went i was walking to a grocery store and they hand someone they were giving out samples it like artisanal like Good and Plenty. like Really good black licorice covered in chocolate, covered in like a candy shell.
00:14:41
Jack Gardner
Like dark licorice? Whoa.
00:14:47
boboballew
And I was like, oh, fuck, this is really good.
00:14:48
Jack Gardner
whoa
00:14:51
boboballew
but So i'm like like I decided when I was a kid I didn't like Good and Plenty. And I up literally up until like a week and a half ago, it was like, I don't like good and plenty. And then I had that. I was like, you know what? Maybe I would like a good and plenty if I had it now.
00:15:04
Jack Gardner
Yeah, I know that that's one of the most disliked candies is just anything that's like black licorice. I feel like some people really dislike it, but I love it. That's like my favorite stuff.
00:15:14
boboballew
I haven't had good and plenty probably since I was like seven or eight. So maybe I try it again now and come around on it because i really enjoyed the black licorice candy I had at the grocery store. Like I almost walked back in and bought a box of it. was like, this is really good.
00:15:31
Jack Gardner
Nice. um Yeah, I love that stuff. I'm a big candy guy.
00:15:37
boboballew
Yeah.
00:15:37
Jack Gardner
and love candy.
00:15:37
boboballew
What's your, like, I mean, i guess you don't go to the movies that much, but like what, what's the scenario in which you would eat candy? Are you ever just like, I'm like just you and Alex are watching a show or something.
00:15:45
Jack Gardner
So I don't usually buy... So Alex and I have talked about this. She's like
00:15:52
Jack Gardner
if in the area that she lacks self-control is like buying the candy and the area I lack self-control is like moderating the amount of candy that I consume.
00:16:00
boboballew
i
00:16:01
Jack Gardner
So what usually happens is yeah, she'll just have like a few.
00:16:01
boboballew
Ah, sure. So she can eat like a normal amount in one sitting. She could be like, I'll eat like a handful.
00:16:07
Jack Gardner
Yeah, it's crazy.
00:16:07
boboballew
Oh, wow.
00:16:08
Jack Gardner
But so I, I never buy candy, but she'll bring candy home and have a few.
00:16:08
boboballew
That's insane, dude.
00:16:13
Jack Gardner
And then I'm just like, like I just eat ah all of it.
00:16:14
boboballew
Oh, yeah, dude. That, yeah.
00:16:16
Jack Gardner
And then she'll like hide it from me because I'll eat all of her candy. But yeah,
00:16:19
boboballew
Of course. Yeah. I mean, that's, I'm the same way. I, if, if it's, if it's not there, i don't need it, but if it's there, it's all going down.
00:16:26
Jack Gardner
Yeah, it's it it doesn't stand a chance.
00:16:28
boboballew
isnt down Yeah.
00:16:29
Jack Gardner
like if ah Why does it matter when I consume the calories? Because I'm not going to buy more candy.
00:16:35
boboballew
Yeah.
00:16:35
Jack Gardner
You know what I mean?
00:16:35
boboballew
Right.
00:16:35
Jack Gardner
So I might as well eat like a thousand calories of candy in one sitting as opposed to spread it out across the day.
00:16:36
boboballew
That's kind of I feel too.
00:16:40
boboballew
Yeah. so so what's like a context in which like you and like, does she just like kind of have candy around in case she like gets a craving for a little bit or.
00:16:47
Jack Gardner
No, not usually, but she'll like go to the grocery store or something and occasionally grab some candy. What what she really likes are the Nerds gummy clusters.
00:16:56
boboballew
Yeah, dude. Yeah.
00:16:57
Jack Gardner
And those, that's not, listen, that's not something I would have bought myself originally.
00:16:58
boboballew
I'm all of about nerds gummy clusters, bro.
00:17:03
Jack Gardner
But now that she brings those in, man, she'll eat like two or three and I just pound the rest of the bag.
00:17:05
boboballew
Those are elite, dude.
00:17:08
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:17:08
boboballew
Those are really good. I had some at the airport a couple weeks ago. it was like this is It's elite candy.
00:17:13
Jack Gardner
They're good, man, because because nerds are good.
00:17:15
boboballew
because
00:17:16
Jack Gardner
But then the gummy and the cluster.
00:17:17
boboballew
Nerds and gummy? Yeah, dude.
00:17:19
Jack Gardner
Yeah. the
00:17:21
boboballew
i i i'm all in that's if i'm getting candy that's the candy i'm getting now what about like yeah but i don't eat candy that much anymore like if i'm craving like because the only context in which i would eat candies at a movie and i go to the move like i go to the movies enough to where i'm like i don't need like the candy and stuff to like feel like i'm at the movies but uh
00:17:25
Jack Gardner
Oh, is it really? Yeah.
00:17:30
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:17:41
Jack Gardner
yeah I rarely eat any candy. The one time I will is if I'm like on a road trip, like if I'm driving to Dallas, I'll usually get a little, get a little candy.
00:17:47
boboballew
Oh, if I'm ah if I'm in on a road trip or at the airport, I'm getting candy for sure.
00:17:51
Jack Gardner
m
00:17:53
boboballew
But I've kind of like pivoted more recently into like, like, so if I'm like, I want to like, get junk food, I'll go to the but it's like a fire truck or something.
00:18:01
Jack Gardner
that a cat?
00:18:05
Jack Gardner
Oh, okay.
00:18:06
boboballew
um
00:18:06
Jack Gardner
Sorry, go ahead.
00:18:07
boboballew
If I'm like craving junk food, like I'll go down to the bodega at the bottom of my building, I'll get like a pint of ice cream. Like Little Debbie's, Pop-Tarts, and like a chocolate, like a Reese's or something.
00:18:20
boboballew
I don't get like candy candy anymore. I've kind of pivoted more towards like shitty like pastries, like gas station pastries and ice cream.
00:18:30
Jack Gardner
Okay, I respect that.
00:18:30
boboballew
You know i mean? And chocolate too, I guess. I guess that's candy, but I consider it more chocolate than candy.
00:18:35
Jack Gardner
yeah Chocolate and candy. ah Chocolate's like very different than other candies. You know what i really like is Warheads.
Candy Podcast Idea
00:18:41
Jack Gardner

00:18:44
Jack Gardner
Oh, you know what I'm buying usually?
00:18:46
boboballew
When I was a kid, I thought they were cool, though.

boboballew
I'm kind of the same way.
00:19:42
Jack Gardner
um
00:19:43
boboballew

Jack Gardner
It's the Caramel Delights. And I feel like anyone...
00:20:05
boboballew

00:20:07
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:20:08
boboballew
Oh, man. All these fucking grown-ups think they're so fucking...

Jack Gardner
Dude. What are you going to say? Thin Mints? Thin Mints?
00:20:13
boboballew
No, all these but all these people think they have such refined palates because they like the fucking coconut samosas the best.
00:20:19
Jack Gardner
Dude, that one's objectively the best one.
00:20:21
boboballew
No, it's not.
00:20:21
Jack Gardner
I've liked it since I was four.
00:20:22
boboballew

00:20:23
Jack Gardner
Okay, what's what's your favorite then?
00:20:24
boboballew

boboballew
Are you kidding me? Easily the best.
00:20:33
Jack Gardner
Dude, no way.
00:20:34
boboballew
I don't even think it's close.
00:20:34
Jack Gardner
right i want to you say You're calling me... dude Are you serious right now? Caramel Delights are like objectively the best Girl Scout cookies.
00:20:40
boboballew
They're good. I like them. But sometimes sometimes people will be like, yeah, I like samosas the best. And they have like an air about them.
00:20:47
Jack Gardner
Okay, we need to we need to run a poll on the TalkSauce Instagram for favorite Girl Scout cookie.
00:20:48
boboballew
There's like an arrogance to it.
00:20:53
boboballew
There's like an arrogance to samosa people sometimes. I'm like, I get it.
00:20:56
Jack Gardner
Okay.
00:20:57
boboballew
You like coconut and caramel. Cool.
00:20:59
Jack Gardner
It's called samosa.
00:21:00
boboballew
I believe so.
00:21:05
Jack Gardner
Oh yeah.
00:21:05
boboballew
is samosa just like Indian food?
00:21:08
Jack Gardner
No, it's like the same thing.
00:21:08
boboballew
the Oh, yeah.
00:21:11
Jack Gardner
Those are the best, dude.
00:21:11
boboballew
Oh, wait. No. Yes. Samosas are the coconut ones. Okay. Yeah.
00:21:16
Jack Gardner
Yeah, but they're also called... Wait, was it what's Caramel Delight then?
00:21:19
boboballew
I'm pulling up. Yeah, I'm pulling it up now because I'm curious as well.
00:21:22
Jack Gardner
Oh, they changed...
00:21:24
boboballew
Peanut butter sandwiches, do-si-dos I would put above samosas. um
00:21:29
Jack Gardner
Whoa.
00:21:32
boboballew
Don't get me wrong, Alex. Dude, I would put like one of the lemon ones above samosas.
00:21:36
Jack Gardner
Dude, this is so weird. It's it's regional. The name is regional between Caramel Delights and samosas, depending on which bakery makes it, but it's the same thing.
00:21:43
boboballew
Oh, weird.
00:21:46
Jack Gardner
Hmm.
00:21:47
boboballew
Interesting. So this is the lineup.
00:21:49
Jack Gardner
That's...
00:21:50
boboballew
It looks like this year adventure falls indulgent. Brownie inspired cookies topped with caramel flavored cream and a hint of sea salt. That sounds pretty good. I'd eat that before samosa, I think.
00:22:01
boboballew
Um,
00:22:02
Jack Gardner
You can't even, you can't just read a description and say you would eat, that's ah that's not cool, man.
00:22:07
boboballew
The coconut, I like samosas, but like coconut caramel, it's never like, that's never like the one that I'm like, I want that one more than chocolate peanut butter. I just, i just won't.
00:22:17
Jack Gardner
peanut Dude, just go eat a Reese's, dude.
00:22:20
boboballew
Yeah, but it's got the cookie and it's like more expensive than Reese's. You know what i mean? um
00:22:24
Jack Gardner
Yeah, and you're doing some good for the the Girl Scouts of America.
00:22:26
boboballew
as Yeah, allegedly. I'll believe it when I see it. I would definitely eat peanut butter sandwiches, do-si-dos before. oh I see what you mean. The regional. Yeah. Caramel de delights, samosas, peanut butter sandwich, do-si-dos.
00:22:39
boboballew
um
00:22:40
Jack Gardner

00:22:47
boboballew
Oh, that's a big one in my house. All the peanut butter

00:23:16
Jack Gardner

00:23:28
Jack Gardner
Milk.
00:23:31
Jack Gardner
Whoa. Dude, that's innovative.
00:23:40
Jack Gardner
I feel like everyone loved Thin Mints, but they were just like okay to me. And then the Caramel Delights, man, those were just...
00:23:45
boboballew
Yeah, I don't get me wrong. I like the car, the samosas. This isn't like, so I'm going to go through this list right now and tell you every flavor that I've had that I would eat before I ate a samosa.

00:24:09
boboballew
Oh, interesting. Okay, so I'm going to give you my list first. I would eat peanut butter sandwiches before I ate samosas. I would eat um either of the lemon ones before I ate a samosa.
00:24:22
boboballew
I would eat peanut butter patties before I ate a samosa. I would eat a samosa before ate a Thin Mint, but it's close. um I would eat a samosa before I ate the classic shortbread, but again, it's close.
00:24:30
Jack Gardner
All
00:24:34
boboballew
I like that classic shortbread one lot too. Okay, go ahead.
00:24:38

00:25:11
Jack Gardner
There's, there's some good representation of the peanut butter, but it's really only, it's really only peanut butter, um, caramel delights and thin mints are like the only ones that are making any chunk. It looks like, what is that? Connecticut likes the,
00:25:28
Jack Gardner
The do-si-do ones?
00:25:28
boboballew
no connecticut likes uh peanut butter patties that is new hampshire or or maybe that's vermont it's vermont or new hampshire yeah um

Jack Gardner
Oh, New Hampshire, yeah. It's to one of the two, yeah. Yeah, Connecticut's that red one.
00:25:42
boboballew
Yeah, but there is like there are people, I swear to God, there are people that when they're like, yeah, I like samosas the best. I'm like, I get it. You like adult flavors. It's like, relax.
00:25:51
Jack Gardner
Dude, this is the one I ate when I was a little kid. I'm telling you, when I...
00:25:54
boboballew
i'm not I'm not accusing you of this.
00:25:55
Jack Gardner
And my prime girls...
00:25:56
boboballew
I'm not accusing you of this.
00:25:56
Jack Gardner
Dude, no, you are. You're coming at my people, man. it Look at this. The whole state of Texas, dude. Samosa country. This is why we had to get you to New York. And you know what happens there?
00:26:07
Jack Gardner
Samosas take over too, you bitch.
00:26:08
boboballew
Samosas? Yeah.
00:26:09
Jack Gardner
ah
00:26:12
boboballew
Every state I've lived in is samosas. Florida, Texas, Colorado.
00:26:16
Jack Gardner
Is that the District of Columbia right there? Peanut butter patties?
00:26:19
boboballew
Yeah, fuck yeah it is, dude.
00:26:20
Jack Gardner
I like that they... I like that that's represented on this.
00:26:25
boboballew
Yeah, Minnesota is Thin Mint too, damn.
00:26:29
Jack Gardner
Dude, this giant thin mint on, a like through California, Nevada.
00:26:32
boboballew
We need a wage war on Thin Mints, dude.
00:26:35
Jack Gardner
All right. So if you had to choose like an army of these states, like of a cookie based on the states, like which one would you choose to to
Hypothetical Cookie War
00:26:46
boboballew
Peanut butter patties, and I'll tell you why.
00:26:46
Jack Gardner
wage war against other cookies?
00:26:47
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:26:49
boboballew
Because peanut butter patties is like peanut butter patties is like, if you're a dense person, you like peanut butter patties the best.
00:26:49
Jack Gardner
Because you want Mississippi and Georgia South Carolina.
00:26:57
boboballew
So the body mass of our army.
00:26:59
Jack Gardner
Yeah, if it's hand-to-hand combat, that actually might be a good choice.
00:26:59
boboballew
Yeah. yeah yeah
00:27:03
Jack Gardner
But in terms of like population, you might just have to go Thin Mints.
00:27:07
boboballew
Um, Thin Mints or Samosas? Because I mean, Thin Mints, Samosas have New York and Texas. Thin Mints have California. Samosas also have Florida, which is heavily populated.
00:27:16
Jack Gardner
Actually, yeah, so most us probably have the largest population here.
00:27:18
boboballew
Colorado. I don't know where that stands population-wise. I mean, Thin Mints, you're taking Alaska and Hawaii. Probably two of the least popular.
00:27:24
Jack Gardner
Yeah, peanut butter patties does get the capital of the country, so that's just a strategic advantage there.
00:27:29
boboballew
Yeah, for sure. Just from like a land. And it's like, the peanut butter patty people are like, again, like... You're not petite if that's your favorite Girl Scout cookie.
00:27:40
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:27:41
boboballew
You know, like a lot of the a lot of these people who like them and some of those are like probably like people on fucking that weight loss drug.
00:27:42
Jack Gardner
Pound for pound.
00:27:52
boboballew
And they like have like one, you know what I mean?
00:27:52
Jack Gardner
Yeah. ah
00:27:55
boboballew
ozempic It's like people who are always picked up.
00:27:57
Jack Gardner
See that picture? See the picture of the Thin Mint on the left? That's like all they eat of it. They just take they take one little bite, then just to inject GLP-1 straight into their bloodstream.
00:28:02
boboballew
Yeah, totally. Like the little bite. It's all these fucking rich suburban white women on Ozempic, like eating half of Girl Scout cookie.
00:28:13
boboballew
And they're like, that's my favorite Girl Scout cookie. And they say I like them. It's the best because the others are too sweet for me. Fuck you. It's a Girl Scout cookie.
00:28:20
Jack Gardner

00:28:22
boboballew
Oh, dude, those L.A.
00:28:24
Jack Gardner
Oh, man.
00:28:25
boboballew
fucking Thin Mint cocks. Yeah.
00:28:30
boboballew
Samosa and peanut butter patty, I would argue.
00:28:31
Jack Gardner
in
00:28:34
boboballew
Well, I would actually argue samosa and Thin Mints are like, I would say peanut butter patty um is probably the most MAGA coated Girl Scout cookie, in my opinion.
00:28:48
boboballew
Is that fair?
00:28:49
Jack Gardner
Yeah, I mean, based on the map, for sure.
00:28:51
boboballew
yeah
00:28:52
Jack Gardner
ah ah
00:28:55
boboballew
And like, samo well and I guess Thin Mints would be the...
00:28:56
Jack Gardner
ah it's like It's because it's the South and then DC, just like It's like neutral.
00:29:00
boboballew
Yeah. And Montana.
00:29:03
Jack Gardner
Yeah, centrist.
00:29:03
boboballew
And I guess like Thin Mints are like like the most lib-coded. Well, Samosas too. ah But samosa Samosas is like the political center.
00:29:13
Jack Gardner
like neutral yes centris
00:29:14
boboballew
Yeah. And then like Thin Mints are like... um are the most lib-coded Girl Scout cookies. This is interesting. We should like take our anthropological studies like to public.
00:29:27
Jack Gardner
yeah
00:29:28
boboballew
Make this more public.
00:29:29
Jack Gardner
somebody needs to Somebody needs to know about this. The Savannah Smiles too, those are pretty good.
00:29:35
boboballew
That sounds... The the like lemon ones?
00:29:38
Jack Gardner
Yeah, I remember liking those.
00:29:38
boboballew
Anything lemon I like.
00:29:39
Jack Gardner
Oh, thanks a lot, yeah.
00:29:42
boboballew
Thanks a lot. That's like the shortbread kind of with chocolate frosting on the bottom. That's a good one. It's weird how they kind of like cycle them out sometimes.
00:29:51
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:29:52
boboballew
Like I'm telling you though, the Rocky Road one is just fine. It was kind of like I had that one and I was like, oh, is this like what Girl Scout cookies are? i was like, this isn't like really blowing my mind in any way.
00:30:04
Jack Gardner
Is that, that's not on here, is it?
00:30:06
boboballew
No, no, that was on their website though. I think it's a new one.
00:30:14
boboballew
But like i know like I would buy a box of Girl Scout cookies for like a Saturday night that I'm not doing anything like four or five bucks for a box, I think.
00:30:19
Jack Gardner
wonder how much it costs for a Girl Scout cookie nowadays. Ah, it's gotta be more than that.
00:30:26
boboballew
Oh, yeah. Inflation and stuff.
00:30:28
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:30:32
boboballew
I feel like am I crazy and saying that I think Girl Scout cookies are have less of a cultural foothold than they did when we were kids?
00:30:39
Jack Gardner
Absolutely. But it it might just be because we're not the target demographic anymore.
00:30:44
boboballew
But like, i feel like they were like a part of my parents life more so than they are now.
00:30:49
Jack Gardner
But do you think they bought them for us?
00:30:51
boboballew
No, my parents love Girl Scout movies.
00:30:51
Jack Gardner
Maybe it's a... Do you think it's a suburban thing more than it is a city thing?
00:30:55
boboballew
Maybe but like, I mean, there are kids in Austin, New York, like there's certainly Girl Scouts here, you know, um but maybe it is like a suburban thing.
00:31:01
Jack Gardner
Yeah. Grizzled. Yeah.
00:31:05
boboballew
That's honestly a pretty good point. Like I wonder if someone listening who lives in a more suburban environment than New York or Austin could confirm that.
00:31:12
Jack Gardner
I do see the occasional Girl Scout here in Austin.
00:31:17
boboballew
Yeah, I mean, like I was talking to a friend in New York the other day who said he just bought Girl Scout cookies on the street. And I was like, where the fuck? Like, i would love to buy Girl Scout cookies. I like Girl Scout cookies, but I just never see them.
00:31:28
Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:31:31
Jack Gardner
Yeah. um All right. I think we wrap it up there. That was ah some...
00:31:36
boboballew
We kind of like went in the weeds there for a while.
00:31:36
Jack Gardner
some I think we just spent 20 minutes on
00:31:42
boboballew
Dude, did I tell you one time i was on a date like a couple of months ago and it was like a girl I wasn't like particularly like ah I just was a girl I it wasn't really feeling on the date. So I didn't really.
00:31:55
boboballew
ah So I didn't really like give a fuck about the date. But like we started like talking about like food. And like, and we were just talking, like basically the conversation we just had just about like other food.
00:32:04
Jack Gardner
Mm-hmm.
00:32:10
boboballew
And then at one point in time, she like looks at me and she was like, this is the longest I've ever talked about this ever.
00:32:16
Jack Gardner
ah
00:32:21
Jack Gardner
You should send her this podcast.
00:32:29
boboballew
Cause I didn't give a fuck about the date. I was like, I just like talking about food. I'll just like keep talking about
00:32:33
Jack Gardner
it I want to get her thoughts on this podcast. Cause it was like, it was like four, it was five minutes on my, um, my situation with the the plumber, five minutes on candy and then 20 minutes on Girl Scout cookies.
00:32:52
boboballew
Dude, I feel like that was like an interesting conversation. but
00:32:56
Jack Gardner
I liked it. You guys have got to let us know. Let us know what your favorite Girl Scout cookie is.
00:33:00
boboballew
Yeah, let us know. Because I've always said about the TalkSauce listenership is that our listenership is the greatest, like, sample that's indicative of America at large.
00:33:11
Jack Gardner
Yeah, absolutely.
00:33:11
boboballew
So, like, if we... the all I've always said...
00:33:12

And India, of course. So if we can get some... Also, Indian listeners, let us know if you guys got Girl Scout cookies over there.

Jack Gardner
Yeah.
00:33:19
boboballew
I'd be curious.
00:33:20
Jack Gardner
Imagine.
00:33:21
boboballew
