Dude, okay.
Family Discovers Podcast
00:00:03
Speaker
I don't know if I should wait till we actually start the podcast or not, but my mom dropped a bombshell on me. What? What's the bombshell? That I am adopted. No, she told me that apparently my entire family on her side listens to the podcast.
00:01:07
Speaker
You're kidding. How does she even know about it? She was like talking to them over the weekend and she's like, no, no, she's talking over the weekend. And I think it was like last weekend when we were actually recording and she they were like, can we talk to him? And she's like, no, he's just recording his little podcast thing. And they're like, oh, yeah, that podcast is really cool. I'm like, what? I think my mom stitched on us. Where are they from?
00:01:37
Speaker
Like where do they live? Indonesia. Where do they live Ayush? Like a couple of them are in the US and a couple are in India.
00:01:44
Speaker
Okay. So I'm assuming the ones from India are the ones that already knew about us. Cause you seem to do pretty well in those, that area of the world countries. Oddly enough. Yeah. You know, India and Africa. The weird thing is they like it. That's the thing. And I'm thinking to myself, no, there's like, I'm just thinking to myself, like, it's probably like family. They're just like trying to be nice. They gave like, like they sent my mom, like,
00:02:11
Speaker
like a paragraph essay breaking down what they like about the podcast. Really? Like, like the weird off off tone satire that we have is literally said off tone satire. I'm like, do we have satire? Guys, we have satire. I'm like,
00:02:31
Speaker
The weird thing is like, there's a couple like, like, like older people in my family, they're like, some of them don't understand English as well. So I'm like, all right, it's fine. The people who do I'm like, I'm like, what do you mean you like it? And they're like, you're like, send us later. So you probably, I'm like, yeah, I got to translate every single episode for that. No, they understand English very well.
00:02:55
Speaker
I really liked the PG-13 aspect of your podcast. I'm like, what? Are you talking about the same podcast? Yes, PG-13. Yeah. That one episode where we talked about midgets. Dude, that was our best episode, let's be honest. That was such a good episode.
00:03:17
Speaker
Which one? Oh, that one. Yeah. Listen, Connor, obviously I asked because I was not paying attention. Okay. Oh, I didn't know you were paying attention. Oh.
00:03:35
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, this is weird. So shout out to my family. You guys are listening. Thanks for being here. I'm so sorry. Yeah, I actually apologize for anything I said. Next time I come to India, I'm testing you. I'm testing you. All right. Family, I'm testing you next time. Next time I come to India. All right. I don't know. You guys better not be posers. If you're posers,
00:04:02
Speaker
I'll hit you with my chapel. I'll slap you with my chapel. You will hit you with your chapel. At the 23-door mark, what weird noise did Jacob make? Huh? Answer me that. Look at me. I am the captain now. What did he say? What did he say? What was it? Welcome to the Boyz II Men podcast.
00:04:33
Speaker
Welcome to the Boyz II Men podcast. Today is season episode... We don't do season anymore. Oh, that's right. We've matured. It's awesome. I feel like ever since we stopped doing seasons, I feel like we have some more... It made more sense in the context. We're like, it's season finale. Nothing different than what we usually do.
00:04:57
Speaker
Or maybe it's just because we stopped using Anchor and you were always like, guys, guys, Anchor says we're on season five, so we're on season five. No, we still use Anchor. I just don't, I just don't put in anything for the season. I just keep saying that we're on like, we're on like episode. I don't know what we're on. 35? Total? Wow. For two years? I mean. We were on like 26 after the first year and after the second year.
00:05:24
Speaker
It's almost a two year anniversary. Okay, you know what I was thinking about? Like crazy, like random access memories.
00:05:31
Speaker
Like I put like a daft punk on us. I'm sitting on the toilet and I thought, two years ago today, I was sitting in front of my laptop on Zoom with a blazer and a dress shirt and my pajamas doing my senior thesis events. Oh, two years ago. And then, yeah, March 20, I think eighth or ninth or something. I still remember everything finished, right? I don't know. I'm weird.
00:05:58
Speaker
I'm sitting and I finished everything and I'm like, all right, this is cool. And they're like, oh, you did a good job. Does anyone have any questions? And then Jacob goes, Hey, could you stand up, please? He's like, Jacob's like, Jacob's like, that was a great, that was a great defense. You did a really good job. Really quick. Can you stand up? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can you stand up? Mr. Padata, can you stand up? I'm like,
00:06:24
Speaker
And you did, didn't you? No, you didn't. No, he didn't. Oh, I did not. One of his proctors just went, Oh, Mr. Think or Mr. No, I was the one that. Yeah, I don't think it was that one. I think it was one of the older ones. Yeah, he's like, no, you don't. He's like, no, we're not going to do that. No, we don't do that here. You're being asked to stand and you looked at the camera and just show.
00:06:50
Speaker
March 28th is also, in 2002, the birth of a very important video game. But we'll get to that later. Oh yeah, we'll get to that later. Yeah. Materiel Girl. Today. Only the most emotional commentary from us. Yeah. Of course. What else would they expect? They're coming here for an autistic bander.
00:07:20
Speaker
They are coming here for off kilter PG-13 humor. It's actually off the tone. My bad, my bad. Against the grain, maybe one might say. We got a review from a member of Ayush's family.
00:07:45
Speaker
Apparently it was very detailed. I think that was part of the episode already. Yes. Did we, did we talk about that in the episode? That was like two minutes ago. Okay. That was, yes. But, um, yeah, I am. I'm tripping.
00:08:05
Speaker
Shout out to the Boyz II Men fam. Thank you for sticking around. Subscribe, smash that like button like Will Smith. Smash that like button. Yeah, let's talk about that part. Oh yeah, let's talk about current events. Yes. Sure. Yeah, let's talk about politics. So Ukraine. We can talk about that. No, no, no. We're not talking about Ukraine. We're talking about current events. The real things that matter. The absolute living shit out of
Chris Rock vs. Will Smith Oscars Incident
00:08:31
Speaker
Chris Rock. Alright, whose team are you on? Oh yeah. Chris Rock or Will Smith?
00:08:36
Speaker
I don't think it's that cut dry. Chuck. Chris Rock, Connor. No, no offense to Will Smith, but Chris Rock. I am I am a Chris Rock advocate myself. OK, I think. I think nobody's in the like real right, like making fun of somebody's illness. Not great, but also like, yeah, he's a comedian. He's going to make cheap shots.
00:09:04
Speaker
I mean, that's what the opening of the Oscars is all about. That was a good joke. That was a good joke. Look at G.I. Jane, dude. I laughed so hard.
00:09:17
Speaker
Like, that's a 2010 movie, or like, 2005, I don't know, it was like 1997. 1997? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Will Smith found it funny as well. It was a good joke. Yeah, he found it funny. He was laughing. He was laughing, and then he looked over his wife. He's like, oh, I'm going to the doghouse. I gotta, I gotta smack him. He's already in the doghouse. He lets other people have sex with his wife. He's, he's getting fucked by... He probably watches.
00:09:47
Speaker
yeah and he has kind of a hypocrite listen listen he has he doesn't have the balls to you know not allow that to happen but he has the balls to on net no international television in front of a bunch of world-renowned celebrities shrine up on stage and
00:10:11
Speaker
Excuse my French, literally bitch slapped the motherfucker on air and just walked back like nothing happened. Yeah, like nothing happened. Literally. Well, I mean, no one really knew the Oscars was even happening, so they needed to do something. Yeah, I do not know. Yeah, I would be surprised if it was like a publicity stunt just like to get the news. Oh, what a shock. These actors were acting. I think it was real. I think it was real.
00:10:38
Speaker
Dude, he went through like three or four emotions that night. He went through laughing, anger, crying and happiness all in that one night. Bro, literally, he was back on that stage, literally holding an awesome- He's like, he's like, goes. And then he has after party after and he's like, going like, I'm like, okay, calm down. Let's move.
00:11:03
Speaker
Yeah, that was certainly great. The memes dude, the memes are so good. I love, I love looking at the memes after some major thing happens because people are so creative. Like it's funny. We were actually discussing that in all of my classes today. One of my professors literally last night saw that happen. First thing he did, as soon as the videos came out, put it in the lecture for today, the night before.
00:11:32
Speaker
Makes a homework assignment. We had a discussion about it in class. It was interesting. He put a cool twist on it. He was like, what do you think is a psychological development that led him to slap him? You know, and letting other people sleep with his wife. Yeah.
00:11:51
Speaker
Man sped up. But he did apologize, though. Will Smith, he put up like some. Yeah, they they for sure. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, I acted out of my my lane or some. I don't know what he said, but you know, I have physically assaulted someone and that's probably not a good thing. So my bad. Mm hmm. To say the least.
00:12:17
Speaker
I'm just gonna say Chris Rock, that was a great joke. I don't know if you listened to the podcast, but it was a great joke. No, he definitely does. That was a good joke. That was such a great joke. Me and my dad were watching it, and we were watching the highlights, because he knows highlights, and we watched it.
00:12:33
Speaker
I watched it and then he was like, JJ, what? And we looked it up and literally saw the first image of G.H. and started laughing. It's so funny. It is pretty funny. It makes a lot of sense when you know the movie. Yeah. If you got to know it, what it means, half the people there, if I didn't even know what it means, I doubt Will Smith knew what it means. Oh, I actually know. Oh, yes. Yeah.
00:12:58
Speaker
I thought, for a sec, I thought, like, maybe she was in the movie or something? And then I look it up and like, no, it's just a bald lady. Oh, man, that was great. Yeah. That was a good one.
00:13:11
Speaker
It was a good joke. For an Oscar joke? Dude, Ricky Gervais made worse things at that one Oscar. He ripped everyone there and he just kind of stood there like, that's all you could do. That was the best opening to any public event ever, in my opinion. He roasted everyone. He roasted an awards ceremony and the people getting the awards all at the same time. It was wonderful. And no one smacked him because he's Ricky Gervais.
00:13:39
Speaker
Yeah, and you never. Yeah, he'll just talk you later. Yeah. He still has beef with Steve Carell. He still has beef with Steve Carell because he stole the office. Oh. Because Wikke or Vaze did the original office. He was the Michael Scott of the UK office.
00:14:02
Speaker
Yeah, but no, no one, no one likes to talk about UK office. Because it wasn't funny unless you're from the UK apparently. I've, I've heard that from the actual UK find it amusing. If their opinions even hold up. It wasn't gonna say matter. Didn't want to say matter. I was just filling in the blanks for you, bro. I'm not I'm not saying that myself. I'm just filling in the blanks.
00:14:31
Speaker
It is a hypothetical if their opinions matter. I'm not saying their opinions don't matter, but we're saying if they do really matter. There's a reason they lost back in 1776. They lost longer than a lot of other places too, but yeah, that one place is important. And that's why the office in the United States is better than the office in the UK because of that war.
00:14:58
Speaker
Yeah. It's a good metaphor. It's not just the office where that statement is true. It applies to 100% of everything else. Yeah. War never changes. Yeah. I'm in soccer. War never changes. There's a fine line between white and blonde. Definitely the US takes that. Do you say there's a fine line between white and blonde? There's actually no one.
00:15:28
Speaker
between line between white and blonde. I said a white wall. There is no wall. There is a line. You know what the line is? A hairline. And all white people have received hairlines. It wasn't funny, but it was clever. It was. Chris Rock, everybody. Today we're doing hard to answer questions. Oh, this is we haven't done that in a long time. Really?
00:15:53
Speaker
So tell us how this works actually the last episode we did that was the one right before the last I think Yeah, but we did that what like four months ago Let me check this Once I Okay, so it was taboo and the last one before that was dread and I don't think any of those had hard to answer questions. I
00:16:19
Speaker
And then before that, the one before that was when we were talking about Marvel Cinematic Universe. And the one before that was a hard answer question. And that was December 11th. You're right. OK, it's been a minute. I'll give you it. It has been, yes. Got a quarter of a year. Been four months, dude. That's like crazy. Zero episodes in February. What are we doing? Yeah.
Off-tone Satire and Audience Speculation
00:16:47
Speaker
Oh, yeah, we want to go young. I'm like, oh, it's recording. You're like, listen, you're like, you're like, I'm busy, too. You're going to have one hour over the summer. We need a weekly. Bro, weekly one hour. The hour that takes for you to jerk off. Just take a second. Let's go record. OK. I just know it takes you to me. I'm sure your family will love that one. Yeah. Yeah. I use your family. I love your off tone sarcasm.
00:17:18
Speaker
Sometimes I forget, I don't know, I can't perform, maybe this is what ED is like, I can't perform thinking about my family. Sometimes I forget that my sister listens to this and I am so sorry. Don't be sorry, be happy. Yeah. I am. She knows the real you. This is the real you. Like Kanye, this is the real me. This is not the real me. This is the you on TV. This is the me when I'm like out at an event, like being student.
00:17:46
Speaker
No, you're like you're like this with us. Yeah. Oh, like out. Oh, yeah. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. Like I went about like like coming. Yeah, we're very about. Like coming. We are out and I usually don't ask that a third time. No, because he's a coming. He's a coming and he said out. Yeah.
00:18:13
Speaker
So, we have a few questions I believe. What are the questions do you have for us? Major, it's a squid game. What?
00:18:26
Speaker
Okay, so we were talking about the midget battle royale. I was thinking about a midget squid game. And they should do a midget squid game. Same concept. Not same games, though, because I think some of them... The activity is going to be the same. So it's just the same. They should definitely include the midget battle royale as one of the things.
00:18:51
Speaker
But they should like switch it up to have like, I don't know, midget long jump or something. You know, this is kind of. I think the jumping from glass pane to glass pane should still be a thing with the midgets. I feel like that would still hold up. I think that's just a standard. That's a pretty good one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, maybe some majors are a little bit taller. They'd be able to get more of a running jump, though.
00:19:20
Speaker
OK, so longer glass panes. All right. Yeah. Well, at the same time, you'll get that entire small glass panes. The other thing I was thinking is like that game is all about like kind of luck. Like you're not really there's not really much talent in there. So I'm trying to think of other games where, you know, you got to put the midgets, you know, skills to test, you know, like what I didn't get about that one is like how not
00:19:49
Speaker
not childhood game themed. It was like, what was it connected to? Hopscotch? Oh, yeah, when I was younger, like hopscotch is like a counting game. Yeah. So maybe like it doesn't really fit. We could we could make like a grocery store that they go into and whoever gets the most items off the top shelves. Oh, OK. OK. We'll be like a teamwork thing where they like climb on each other.
00:20:19
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, they they they build a ladder. Yeah, no, it's it's like, oh, yeah. For for for. Yeah, it's like the title of the war thing. It'll be. Yeah, it'll be early on. It'll be a team game. Yeah. Yeah. Instead of tug of war thing, they will team up and like climb on each other and they'll be super intense. Um.
00:20:39
Speaker
I think what else? I don't know. Axe time. Axe time? Oh, I was thinking of more of like, like who can grow the most four leaf clovers or something or how much money can you steal from this pot of gold that's in the center? Oh my god. A hundred games style with weapons laid about. Would that be like the St. Patrick's Day special? Yeah. How many? It's the Hunger Games with the cornucopia is literally an axe with cornucopia size. A pot of gold.
00:21:08
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. They should have a midget midget battle royale and then they can. How many rainbow slides can they go down? How many McDonald's fastest? What are they? Well, it's called the green bouncing and dismounting the suit. They go where it's called. What? Shamrock shakes. Yeah. How many how many shamrock shakes can you down? How many shamrock shakes can you eat? How many shamrock shakes has he down?
00:21:36
Speaker
I don't even know. I don't even know, bro. I've I had a lot. I had a lot. Yeah, that's why I thought. You're like, I can't believe you don't like Shamrock Shake. And I would stir in the bag and I would put like Oreos in them and like chocolate chips in them. Yeah, like crushed Oreos. That's not healthy. What? Yeah, dude, like crushed Oreos. You think a Shamrock Shake is healthy? It doesn't taste good. I don't think it's healthy.
00:22:07
Speaker
It tastes good. All right. All right. I'm not going to. All right. See, you're just yeah. You don't like mint chip ice cream, do you? It is not. Oh, no, I hate. I hate mint chip ice cream, dude. I hate mint in general. Oh, man. Coconut ice cream today is really good. Interesting. Coconut ice cream. Yeah, because I can't, you know, eat berry.
00:22:33
Speaker
There's this really good Thai place I went to in Sedona. I mean, you can. You're just too scared to. That's also kind of random. What? What? The Thai food thing? I mean, ice cream to Thai food. Hmm. No, I was about to connect it. I was about to connect it. I was about to say I went to a Thai food place in Sedona. That's way off topic.
00:23:02
Speaker
Go on, go ahead. They went to a Thai food place in Sedona and for dessert, they give coconut and pineapple ice cream and then deep fried bananas, like deep fried banana spring roll thingies. It's so good. We should go there once. It's really good.
00:23:25
Speaker
Yeah, they have like the classic like sticky rice mango. That's like, okay, but sticky rice mango classic. Yeah, everyone knows about sticky rice. You don't know about stickers and mango. Dang. You guys are on the culture. I do. Swine. I could go for a good Thai tea right about now. I could too. Yeah, we should. We should go. Two years. I think that place in the past two years. I think that place in Norteira is open. I don't know. Is that good?
00:23:50
Speaker
I never don't go there for a tighty shop in the one that isn't tied to you. It's a tea shop. Does it not? I see. Wait, what? What tea shop? The one that's like right behind not right behind the one that's like in the back alley behind like the one.
00:24:10
Speaker
Yeah. I don't think it's time to. We could probably just go to a Thai restaurant and they, you know. Yeah. Yeah. There's literally a Thai restaurant. You cannot expose. Oh yeah. Yes.
00:24:41
Speaker
Even if we do have a bunch of fans who want to find us, there's a lot of houses you got to go through. And even if you come by my house and you're like, oh, I'm gonna be like, no, I have no idea who you are. Get out of here. All right. No. Yeah, I'm sure that'll deter them really good.
00:24:56
Speaker
Yeah. If they're crazy enough to go all the way to see you, you think you just saying, no, it's going to be redacted. No. I mean, if they're, if they're crazy fans, they probably like seeing our Instagram and they probably know what they look like. So I think we're, yeah, we're screwed. Don't go outside.
00:25:14
Speaker
people know what I look like, bro. Anyways, all right, let's get to those H tags. This next question comes from someone in my class, which is odd, because now I know there's people in my class who listen.
Tech Preferences: Glass vs. Plastic
00:25:29
Speaker
They say, is your phone with or without a screen protector? With. Always with. I never leave home without it. Also, never take it off. Wait, are we all with?
00:25:42
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. So what kind? Plastic or glass? Tempered glass. Tempered glass. Glass. Yeah. Okay. Wow. We're all just really smart when it comes to- I don't know what plastic they're most likely to even do. Plastic is like zero. Yeah. It's not for the blunt force, obviously. I think it's more for like just like longevity of the actual screen. Yeah. I mean, like it's a plastic that's like on the phone when you get it for the first time.
00:26:12
Speaker
I believe I'm the only one who has one that like is a privacy one as well. So you can't see it from Oh, you got it. You got a like confidential stuff on there. Those are interesting. However, I feel like they're really annoying. Is it annoying when you like lay your phone down and you try to still read it? Yeah, and I'm like trying to like I'm trying to watch something and I prop it up. Oh, yeah. Yeah. If it's not at a 90 degree angle, you should just it goes like full black.
00:26:38
Speaker
Like you can't see a single thing. It probably won't show up on camera. Like you got to be looking at like right like straight in front of your face basically. I can try it like yeah here. I don't know. You can't wait. No. I saw it went straight black. The reason it green screens it's because it's a screen. It's black. I'm trying. I'm trying to. Oh. Noah has come and gone. I know. I know. I'm dead in the wind. You can see it. See. Yeah I see it. Oh yeah.
00:27:11
Speaker
Yeah, those are nice screenshots. It's good for privacy because I've literally had people go like, Hey, what are you looking at? I can't see. I was like, Hmm, maybe because I don't watch. You know, this has never happened. What are you doing in public, Jacob? Are you watching porn in public? Yes. 24 seven. You don't understand, bro. It's bad. Are you watching porn by yourself? By yourself?
00:27:36
Speaker
No, I'm with the Lions team. He's like, not anymore. I can't feel my reptilian. Okay. Um, all right. So we're all with, with the screen protector. Glass screen. Now you know everyone.
00:28:00
Speaker
now you don't take our phones and throw them please yeah i did get a new screen protector though like mine is busted didn't you like isn't that new no i've had this for like a year now oh okay they're good i've had this for like i don't know for your four years yeah i don't think i've ever had to change a screen protector that i've ever had like and i and i usually have phones for about four years before i
00:28:29
Speaker
get a new one, at least. And I've never had to change a screen protector on one. Very nice. I mean, I don't even know what you're going to do. Like, yeah, same with me. I like I don't mind never cracks or anything. I don't know what people do. Yeah. The thing is, I drop to like kind of frequently, but it doesn't like break it ever. So I'm really I'm really curious as to what other people are doing with it. We all that we all have cases on our phones, right? Yeah. Yeah. Once again, mine is really busted.
00:28:57
Speaker
Just because I pick at it, because it's like rubber, so I like picking at it. Right. OK. All right. I'm not going to question that one. Rubber. Picks that as rubber. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good euphemism. Dang. I like that. New windows. All right. Next one. Yeah. Cookies, crunchy or chewy. I don't know if we asked this one. I feel like we did. I don't know.
00:29:23
Speaker
That is a good one. I have an argument for that. OK. Let's see your argument.
Cookie Texture Showdown: Chewy vs. Crunchy
00:29:28
Speaker
I'm a big chewy guy. And that's just because I like texture, like a consistent texture. Well, and I feel that to me, a consistent texture most often comes from where I don't have to, I don't know,
00:29:57
Speaker
right yeah i don't know where i was going with that anyways i like chewy cookies i'm gonna have to agree i think i think usually for me it depends on the mood but i would say 95 percent of the time i'm a chewy kind of guy you know i think especially if you if you pair cookies with something like ice cream you want it to be chewy but with some nice ice queen ice queen
00:30:21
Speaker
I want me some good ice cream. Yeah, you could see that I just I just saw myself like on the camp like on the screen doing that and I was ashamed of myself anyway, you're ashamed Simply I think go to be I think there's a happy medium, you know, I
00:30:40
Speaker
If it's like solid on the outside, but chewy on the inside, that's the perfect cookie for me. It can't be crunchy though. We're like, we're like brittle to the point where like, if you like hold it and like, it's just smack on a table, it's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't don't don't want to hit on a table. Think of a chips Ahoy, right? They're just super crunchy. They're just for me, not always. Well, they do sell chewy version, the chip chips away.
00:31:09
Speaker
Why do you think that? Yeah, that's where I got my opinions from, which is why I'm also a chewy advocate. Because if people actually enjoy the original over the chewy, or they just prefer like the really tough and crunchy cookies over the chewy cookies, they just, they eat wrong. It does not make sense. Just don't cook either. The chewy naturally just, you get more flavor out of it, in my opinion, and you can eat it easier. So it's more efficient, you know, when you're eating it.
00:31:39
Speaker
Yeah. And the chips, you went, he went to like, so, so dumb. Yeah. But I mean, if they're homemade, I do agree with Jacob that if they're like kind of like solid on the outside and gooey on the inside, those are pretty good too. Those are definitely the best, but not solid, not like crunchy, but solid, just like firm.
00:32:01
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, that's why I that's why I refuse to say crunchy. I'm like, oh, well, that's not what I mean. If I have to make a choice out of like super crunchy or super chewy, definitely super chewy. Pick up a cookie size, big cookies, and I pick it up and it just sags. No, you don't want saggy. That has no consistency. It needs to have consistency. But I would rather have a saggy cookie than a cookie that just explodes all over me after one bite. Like a nature value bar.
00:32:31
Speaker
Yeah, I don't want a Nature Valley Bar cookie, going to be honest. I want the cookie in my mouth. The Nature Valley Bar, it's all right if part of it is unscathed. You have to like, sometimes a crunchy cookie, it can almost hurt, you know? Like when you chew it. Yeah. Your poor molars. It's an occupational hazard. Yes. I need to work this out. The chewy cookie just melts in your mouth and it's just like, it's great. Yeah. Never reaching for the original chips away
00:33:01
Speaker
cookies. It's always got to be chewy. Otherwise, no one will eat it. And I won't eat it. Yeah. So if we ever have a meetup where we bring food, never bring the chewy chips. No, yeah, bring the things. Cookies aren't even that bad tasting either. Like they're pretty good. Chewy ones. I mean, it's okay. If you're in need of a cookie, you can reach your chips. Favorite favorite cookie bread. Hmm.
00:33:30
Speaker
Besides my grandma's. Oh, wait, no, no. Nothing beats grandma's cookies. Yeah, nothing beats grandma's. Those are like the brand? No, my grandma's. Oh, he said a brand. I know. I said besides my grandma's. I've never had your grandma's cookies, so I wouldn't know. Well, I mean, I just was speaking generally. They are pretty good.
00:33:57
Speaker
Isn't there a brand called grandma's that's almost it has a grandma on the yeah famous famous Amos that's what it's got it's a different thing famous Amos famous Amos is is like the most lazy way of saying it even there's also you know Amos Moses
00:34:18
Speaker
Like I'm thinking of grandmas cookies. Like it's literally just called grandmas. I know grandma. Like it's one big cook. It's like two bags. Oh, those. Yeah. Those are good. But the first time I had one, I was working as a dishwasher. I literally like, cause I'm usually, I'm like vividly picturing you washing dishes. You like put your hand in, pull out a grandma cookie.
00:34:45
Speaker
It's like a commercial, it's like an Old Spice commercial where it is like pulls them out. Obviously it was understaffed so I was the closer as the dishwasher because the dishwasher was always late like three hours after their shift supposed to end still washing dishes and you know they said you know you can get bring something that brings something home with you obviously all the food's gone by then so I just I just went into the bag and I just would grab those big cookies
00:35:12
Speaker
But just big boxes. Yeah, there's those off the brownie and grandma's cookies are pretty good. That's too good. Yeah. For me. Because they're also chewy. You know, they're not. Yes. Those are those are perfect cookies because they're firm on the outside and chewing on the inside. Perfect cookie. A close second would be Oreos for me. Oreos? Yeah. I think Oreos are a little overrated. I mean, they're not bad, but.
00:35:39
Speaker
Obviously, I like the mint chip Oreos. I think those are really good. Yeah, with all the flavors they have, even if you include every flavor that Oreos has ever made, I still think all of them are like a C tier cookie. Oh, wow. I would put them at least B plus. I think, yeah, I agree, Connor. They're a C tier. Why don't you put them in milk, though? Oh, no. I don't know. We're actually doing that.
00:36:01
Speaker
Speaking of drinks. I am bringing you some, some, some Oreos and some milk on Thursday. All right. Uh, yeah. Favorite cookies fellows. Yeah. I mean, I, I said famous.
00:36:20
Speaker
Yeah, almost. I think I've heard of that. You know what? You don't have you don't know famous. I probably had them. I just don't know. You know, like the nerd grows.
00:36:35
Speaker
Oh, famous or famous Larry's or Larry's cookies. Yeah, Larry's cookies. I like those they they remade them or if they I don't know if they were but they made a smaller version and Those of the cookies and those suck like they're just horrible tasting. Do you want one? Sure, I'll I'll taste it for ya for the sake of
00:36:59
Speaker
The podcast. All right. We're going to we're going to see this little ASMR live. Like a live cookie. Oh, oh, famous Larry. Is this that complete cookie, right? Yeah, the complete cookie.
00:37:17
Speaker
Oh dude, that was good at one point. That's it. It's Lenny and Larry's cookie. Okay, it's not the complete, it's the boss cookie. These are horrible. Taste them all. No, complete cookie. Complete cookie is where it's at. Complete cookies are good, but these ones aren't.
00:37:32
Speaker
Never heard of that. Interesting. Um, they're good. They have protein, so they're healthy. It's protein cookies. Oh, I got protein right here baby. There was like a certain, you know, every teenage boy has that point where he's like, I got to put protein on everything I eat. Yeah. That's what we all went through that. Um, they did not change the picture on the cookie from the, the normal, uh, complete cookie.
00:38:02
Speaker
They did. It's the same generic cooking thing. Yeah. Yeah, that was there. I used to eat that a lot. Very interestingly textured surface, which I think is kind of. And that, too, is a shoe. Oh, gosh, I just opened it up. It's like dark brown. Yeah, it's like dark. Let me not match the picture. I am turning this on.
00:38:37
Speaker
That's overdone. Yeah, it's like they burnt this cookie. It does not taste burnt, though. It just is weird. Yeah, they advertise it, market it, and sell it, bro, and think people will eat it. It's so jockey.
00:39:03
Speaker
It's yeah, it's like sour too. In a weird way, it's like milk. Oh, like the dairy in here like was like. Expired before they made these cookies. It's it's not like a boss cookie, more like trash cookie, a cookie more like baby wage employee cookie.
00:39:31
Speaker
Sweat shop cookie, am I right? Lenny and Larry, stick to what you're good at. Stick to the cookie. That's a complete do not change. And that was awful. Like I took a bite. That's all. That's all I could have. Same. I need to get that taste out of my mouth. I don't play. Oh, we got two angles now. Never mind. Sometimes I want to sometimes I have like a really bad taste in my mouth.
00:40:03
Speaker
Yeah, sometimes I have a really bad taste mouse. I got to get that taste out. And I don't know. The only way I can do that is through audible. This this guy. This guy. Now, while we wait for Noah, I was going to say like the bottom of a protein shake, if you put like fruits and stuff in it, like the amount of seed build up.
00:40:27
Speaker
Awful. Awful. Oh, oh yeah. I don't know. I hate, I don't, I never put fruits in my protein shake. Like I just never, I just drink it raw. I used to, but it would only be like blueberries and bananas. No, no seedy fruits. I like adding peanut butter. I like adding peanut butter to my protein shake. Those are the seeds I'm talking about. Blueberries? What bananas are you eating? Wait, bananas?
00:40:55
Speaker
I put the entire banana in that. And you're claiming that there are banana seeds that you are not a fan of. Yeah. You all have banana seeds. Describe to me what a banana seed is in your blended drink than what it what it looks like or what it tastes like. Is that an Arizona tea? Is there blended banana seeds? That's Arnold Palmer. He's the guest today.
00:41:26
Speaker
And when you blend it, when you pour it in, there's seeds. And they're saying you pour it in and it's full and there's seeds. There's seeds in the. Does this make sense to you? I mean, like, yeah, it makes sense, but. I feel like you have a you have a really weak blender. It's the fact that it's bananas is what's getting me. It's a ninjas. Yeah, that gets to me, you know.
00:41:56
Speaker
I usually chop up my banana. I chopped it up as well. Then I have no idea where getting seeds from, dude. Here's my I. OK, OK, like we'll talk about this for a second. Where do you buy your bananas, Jacob? Fries. Well, I get some organic. Are they organic or are they the normal ones?
00:42:20
Speaker
the 67 cent per pound bananas, bro, the regular banana. Like a normal one, not the organic ones. Okay, then yeah, I don't know what you're- I think you just keep getting bad luck with rotten bananas, dude. I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, I never had seeds in my banana.
Bananas in Protein Shakes: Seed Debate
00:42:35
Speaker
Yeah, every time I eat a banana, it's a- Shake! In the shake! Yeah, still- Okay, the shake is not- Where else would it come from, Jacob? Yeah, the shake is not giving birth to the season. The banana by itself?
00:42:49
Speaker
They're in the middle. You just don't notice them. What are you talking about? Yes. Like eat a banana, pull out the seed. Oh, my fuck. I almost tasted it. It's not like a watermelon seed. Like they're soft seeds. Yeah, I know they're like very miniscule, but they should still be negligible in a drink.
00:43:14
Speaker
Unless you're not blending them up properly. Jacob, are you putting plantains in your protein, Jacob? Those little green ones. Yeah, dude, those are my favorite bananas. Dude, plantain chips, though? Dude, those are so good. My mom makes them. She deep fries them in coconut oil. Ooh, it's so good. That sounds tasty. I'm going to bring you guys some. They're so good. If fried anything, it's usually pretty good.
00:43:45
Speaker
It's like- You know what I love more than deep fried anything? Grilled anything? Grilled anything. Actually that's not true. Grilled a banana, it probably will not taste as good as a deep fried banana. I agree but I- Deep fried banana is so good. I don't know, we should try grilling a banana. For science. It might melt in between the grates of your- Oh yeah it just slides right through.
00:44:13
Speaker
Oh, yeah. While you were while you were I made a speaking of in between the grades. How about we start learning to read in between the lines? Oh, okay. I like that. I like that way better. I like that way better than whatever I said. Why was it? Yeah, I use you've been demoted. Connor's the leader of this podcast. Booga Booga follow me.
00:44:38
Speaker
No, no, it was like I have a really bad taste in my mouth and I said, oh yeah, sometimes I have a bad taste in my mouth. A good way to get rid of it is audible. So there's no intangible thing that doesn't have anything to do with my mouth, but in fact, my ears. You know what? Sometimes I have a bad taste in my brain. And I like to relieve that energy by masturbating while listening.
00:45:04

forward slash backslash. Slash slash. Backslash sounds like a really cool horror movie name. Link in the description. You know what? I will make, I will write a script for you just for you. Just for you. I'm wearing a whole script right now. And that could actually work for a title. So catch me using that. Would you like to see the chocolate I put in it?
00:46:57
Speaker
It was the chocolate! You put chocolate chips in there and you're thinking it's banana seeds? How do you not taste the difference? Alright, here's a banana seed right here. Okay, he's got a banana seed. What is this? He's gonna eat it? Is it your own seed? No!
00:47:18
Speaker
Wow, Waluigi. Dude, your face is like, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was sitting there making this protein shake for myself. I was like, you know what, bro? You know what, bro? That's a nut. You know what, bro?
00:47:36
Speaker
Yes. You know what? I'm going to blend it and then drink my own unfertilized children. What? Why would you not drink your fertilized children? Speaking of fertilization, now it's time for our sponsor, Blue Apron. I am fertile. I don't know why I say I'm fertile. He's burning.
00:48:05
Speaker
Burning Man? Dude, we should go to Burning Man. I am not good. Personally good. Yeah, I feel like there's nothing there for us. What's burning? Yeah. You don't want to know. Other than the report. I'm Googling now. It's for the podcast. Hey, good luck. All right. Actually, you know what? We're talking about horror movies. I have a really big problem with horror movies. What? Because we have a NOAA person here with us.
00:48:34
Speaker
So I feel like horror movies should stop advertising themselves as horror movies because it kind of ruins the effect of it being scary. If you know, like your mindset going into the movie is this is going to be scary because I was watching. What was it like to the audience? Because some people why movie because. It's a horror movie.
00:48:59
Speaker
Yeah, but after after day one release, then everyone will know it's a horror movie. That's fine. At least day one, at least day one of people who are like, what would your compromise be? I think I think a compromise that you can you can let me know if you agree with this. A compromise would be to not. Demonstrate the type of horror. In the trailers.
00:49:26
Speaker
Yeah, don't just give away all the jump scares in the trailer. Yeah, which is. But like, if it's a psychological horror, I don't know. I mean, I'm not I'm not saying I'm not saying make the trailer look like it's a rom com and then make it do a horror movie. I'm saying, like, I know make it like teetering on the edge, but then the movie is just like a whole like it's like the audience.
00:49:50
Speaker
Yeah, like they still know what they are kind of like thinking like they're going to expect something going in. But then it's like like crazier. The movie is like even crazier. Speaking of actually, I feel like I feel like the first saw was like that. I think the first saw made it look like it was some like murder mystery, psychological thriller. And then the movie itself, the movie itself was crazy. It was really good. I like the first one was so good. I love the first saw. And the new one with with Chris Rock was also pretty good.
00:50:19
Speaker
What's so bad about Burning Man? That seems pretty cool.
00:50:24
Speaker
So speaking of psychological horror movies, I just saw one I thought was pretty good. It's called Incident in a Ghost Land. It's on Netflix. Incident in a what? In a Ghost Land. Incident in a Ghost Land. Yeah, just watch it. It was pretty good. It was very psychological horror-y, definitely not your average thriller horror movie type of thing. So you have time and you're into that stuff. I would recommend it.
00:50:52
Speaker
Don't really want to say anything about it. Yeah, yeah, the ghosts commit tax evasion. Nice. Dude, based ghosts. Yeah. Okay, I guess we can return back to the questions. What are you guys's
Food Network Nostalgia
00:51:15
Speaker
thoughts on Food Network? Okay, um, hear me out, hear me out here.
00:51:22
Speaker
Food Network is great if you actually make food. But there's also an inherent watchability of competitions and Food Network just has a ton of competitions, which is really helpful because like, you know, Sunday, your Sunday morning, you can watch the Paula Deen show. All right. I put 30 sticks of butter in it. But
00:51:51
Speaker
you know, Saturday night or like Friday night with the boys and you're watching cupcake boys and it's like okay.
00:51:59
Speaker
We were literally watching beat Bobby Flay. We were literally watching beat Bobby Flay. Jacob and I were like a few weeks ago. And there was an Indian guy in there. And we claimed him as you. We kept calling the Indian guy. And he did win. He beat Bobby Flay. He was pretty good.
00:52:25
Speaker
I was going to describe to him what the dish was, but he just ran away. Yeah, I'll let him know what the dish was when he comes back. Tell me what this dish was, because I don't remember what the name of it was. It looked like a quiche, but like spinach, kind of? I remember that his version was untraditional. It was, yeah. I don't remember what it was. It was a quiche, but spinach?
00:52:53
Speaker
But spinach, yeah. I mean, there's like a lot of times there's spinach and quiche. No, but I think the bread was like made out of spinach, right? Or like the. Oh, so it was like a spinach wrap. Was it like round like like a quiche? Like what was like the shape? Square, I think. But that was his version. Bobby Flay's was a circle, I think.
00:53:21
Speaker
I'm looking through all these names of these Indian dishes and none of them are going to ring a bell to me. With all these peas. Do you know what the ingredients are? All I remember was that it was spinach something. Was it with lentils? Or was it with grain?
00:53:40
Speaker
You gotta give me some spinach. You know how much spinach is in India? They're like... swim in spinach there. Hang on, hang on. I'm doing my research. Yeah, we're gonna do some research. We're gonna... Okay, well in the meantime, I feel like Food Network has definitely gone down in quality. I feel like before, kind of like noticing, they used to have a lot of really good instructional videos, which I feel like a lot more you'll find on YouTube now, like Binging with Babish or like...
00:54:08
Speaker
Joshua Wiseman or someone, but like back in the day, like, you know, good eats, mainly good eats. Good eats was like educational. Alton Brown, dude, that guy, he was like a modern day Mr. Altaga. What? Well, that is a reference list.
00:54:30
Speaker
reference. Yeah, no one's gonna be standing in the audience. Yeah, no one's gonna stand in the audience. He was a science teacher, but whatever. Yeah, that was a really good show. And I remember, I remember when he transitioned from Good Eats to Cutthroat Kitchen. And then he did Iron Chef America between Good Eats and that. Like, yeah, I mean, I don't know. Iron Chef was like these. So good. That was the I think that was the first like real
00:54:58
Speaker
That was like actual competition. That was legit. That was the original Food Network content, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Like that was way before Gordon Ramsay. He was doing I think he was doing Hell's Kitchen at the time, too. But like that's a whole like people, you know, kids are not watching Hell's Kitchen. You know, I mean, kids are watching Iron Chef America. They're watching random chefs.
00:55:23
Speaker
beat like Japanese masters. You know, like it was crazy. It was a really good show. Food Network was goaded back then. You had diner drive ins and dives. You had. I mean, that's what's to exist. It does. But like olden ones like, I don't know, the guy feedback that was crazy. You drive that old Chevy. God, that guy was crazy.
00:55:46
Speaker
The yeah, it was just a very cool concept. No, he does another show that I think is pretty good. It's a guy's grocery games. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Yeah, I used to watch the one, too. It's sorry, just to clarify, because I was still looking up the beep, bop, be flake guy. Were you talking about diner showers and dives? What? Were you talking about diners, drive ins and dives? Earlier, was I talking about? Yeah, yeah. OK, OK, I was just clarifying because that is the best for the show.
00:56:15
Speaker
Yeah, it's a good, that's a good, that's a good one. It's like, it is the best. Okay. Listen, Guy Fier is great and all, but I think it's time to go. Thank you for listening and goodbye.
