Jack Gardner: Yo, yo, yo, everybody.
boboballew: We're back.
Jack Gardner: We're back again. ah kind of like um on this software how we can actually play the the audio, like the the theme song at the same time as we're talking as opposed to the other one.
boboballew: It's really nice. It feels like an easier transition.
Jack Gardner: Yeah. Yeah.
boboballew: What's this called? Zencaster?
Jack Gardner: Zincaster. It's actually the best because this one's cheap too and it gives you literally everything you need, which is cool compared to that other one we used. And I will say from the standpoint of just like setting everything up to push it live, this one's much easier than that other one.
boboballew: A thousand percent.
Jack Gardner: wanted to do a lot of work on before. Oh yeah, because that that other one's ready to go pretty much, I think.
boboballew: Yeah, that was fast.
Jack Gardner: I'll have to look at it later. but um Dude, so I was going to the bathroom like right in between
boboballew: Mm-hmm.
Jack Gardner: And i I look at my phone, as you do, and I was on YouTube Shorts like from before, and I scrolled to the next one, and there was um an ad for that suitcase.
boboballew: Mm-hmm.
boboballew: Dude, you want to know what's funny?
Jack Gardner: They got me already, dude.
boboballew: I was also in the bathroom and got my phone as one does. And I got an Instagram and I got an advertisement for golf clubs.
Jack Gardner: Did you get a Tacoma ad?
Jack Gardner: No way! How did it happen so fast?
boboballew: And then we got like the opposite because the golf club, big golf club already knows they have you in and suitcases already knows they have me.
Jack Gardner: That's actually crazy.
Jack Gardner: Yeah. Big suitcase.
boboballew: Dude, I think it's a sign.
Jack Gardner: Whoa, that's actually crazy.
boboballew: i think it's a sign. You should buy suitcase when I buy golf clubs.
Jack Gardner: i buy a suitcase and you buy suitcase. Keep them on their toes. Wow, that's crazy. So for those that don't remember, Bo and I looked this up. Literally, it's been half an hour. It was on the previous episode.
Jack Gardner: So, man, that's crazy. um What you sipping on there? little tea?
boboballew: Coffee.
Jack Gardner: Coffee. You know, right before...
boboballew: Made some cold brew.
Jack Gardner: Don't you have a mocha pot?
boboballew: i have a mocha pot and a cold brew maker.
Jack Gardner: I made a, right before the last episode, I made some coffee in the mocha pot and that, it makes some good coffee. It's also very strong.
boboballew: dude. Yeah, it does. It does take a little longer than I'd like it to sometimes but it is like summer and it's hot. And it's that time of year where it's like the natural temperature of the apartment is hotter than outside.
Jack Gardner: Yeah.
boboballew: So cold brew is the way to go for me at home right now.
Jack Gardner: Yeah. What I do with the mocha pot is I actually use my electric kettle and heat up the water beforehand and then pour it in.
boboballew: But I do the mocha pot too.
boboballew: Oh,
Jack Gardner: it makes it like 10 times faster.
boboballew: So it boils faster.
Jack Gardner: It's actually insane.
boboballew: Yeah, because sometimes it takes forever.
Jack Gardner: It's like, yeah, so I've been, i saw this online because I was, I had the same thing, but you put it on the stove, right? So it like starts warming up, just the bottom of it.
Jack Gardner: And then the water, you get the water, um like pretty hot.
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: I didn't quite get it to boiling and then I pour it in and then screw everything together and then it's done like way faster.
boboballew: Dude, I kind of want one of those like diner coffee pots.
Jack Gardner: you mean?
boboballew: Were you like, like, um like that your parents probably had when you were a kid?
Jack Gardner: Just like, just
Jack Gardner: just like a normal coffee pot?
boboballew: Yeah, like kind of like one of those old school kind of ones where like, do you?
Jack Gardner: I have, I think I have one of those. Let me, I'll be right back. you want me to show it to you? All right, I'm gonna, I'll pause for a second.
boboballew: Yeah, show it to me.
Jack Gardner: All right, I'm back. So that was not what you were talking about?
boboballew: Here. No, I just linked you kind of what I'm talking about.
Jack Gardner: Okay, i thought he was just talking about like a normal. Oh yeah, I mean, it's basically the same thing. So,
boboballew: Oh, is it?
Jack Gardner: Let me tell you the difference though, because this is key because I've had both types. So that one has a hot plate underneath of it.
boboballew: Yes.
Jack Gardner: The quality of coffee it makes is like generally the same. But the problem is if you leave coffee in that one for a long time, it burns.
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: So I got this one after actually Alex got it for me, but it's a thermos. So it stays hot in the thermos. So the coffee like stays good the whole time.
Jack Gardner: Cause I used to have one.
boboballew: how do you How do you drip it?
Jack Gardner: What you mean? Drip it.
boboballew: Like, how do you make the coffee?
Jack Gardner: It's the exact same as that one there.
boboballew: Oh, what's it called?
Jack Gardner: um i think it's a black and decker. it's It's sick. you If you get one of those, you have to get one that... um It's right here. It's this one.
Jack Gardner: Dude, I can't believe you were just talking about like a normal coffee maker. It's so funny.
boboballew: I don't. Oh, I see it.
Jack Gardner: You're like, this exotic this exotic type.
boboballew: Well, they have them like in diners and stuff.
Jack Gardner: I think it's... Yeah, yeah. it's I have that one.
boboballew: I see. I found it. Yeah, it's like 75 bucks.
Jack Gardner: Dude.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, it might have been cheaper. This might be like an older model, so it's cheaper. But if you get one of those, make sure you get one with a thermos. It's huge. It like makes such a big difference.
boboballew: That's good to know, because the reason why I want one of these is like I like I like that you can make a lot of coffee at once.
boboballew: And then I I'm a big iced coffee guy, so just throw it in the fridge and in like the afternoon. have some cold coffee.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, and that's good with the thermos too. But yeah, the other ones, it burns the coffee. So if you especially if you only have a little bit left, it's like undrinkable if you use one of those glass ones. and And then if you turn it off, it just gets cold like immediately.
Jack Gardner: So I'm a big proponent of thermos gang.
boboballew: oh interesting.
Jack Gardner: Plus with those, you can you can schedule it if you're if you drink coffee right when you wake up.
boboballew: i
Jack Gardner: I don't really do this anymore, but I used to set it up to where it would just I would wake up and there'd be a ah cup cup of joe ready for me.
boboballew: And it like you get the coffee smell in the house and like, it's nice.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, yeah you you just set it up the night before. It's kind of nice.
boboballew: Yeah, I because I'm not like a big like, like, I don't really care about what kind of coffee or how it's made. Like the mocha pot makes good coffee, but i don't really give that much of a shit.
boboballew: You know what I mean?
Jack Gardner: Yeah, I feel you. i kind of like On the weekends, I'll i'll bust out the mocha pot or like do something. But um during the week, I don't really care that much. We actually have another thing, like this Nespresso thing that Alex got um that just has little pods.
Jack Gardner: And...
boboballew: Oh, yeah. I was telling someone the other day that I want that coffee pot I was just telling you about, and she was saying she has an espresso. and She's like, you should get an espresso.
Jack Gardner: It's... Dude, it's really cool. The thing is, though, it's like the pods are kind of expensive.
boboballew: Yeah, they're like a hundred bucks, right?
Jack Gardner: So... Well, the coffee maker's expensive, but then the individual like coffee for it, it's probably like $2 for a cup of coffee, maybe a little less than that.
boboballew: Which is cheaper than going to get coffee, but that's still expensive for making coffee at home.
Jack Gardner: but it's But it's a lot more than... Yeah, but the what's really cool, though, about this one that we have is it's got like a QR code thing on the bottom, like a barcode.
boboballew: ah
Jack Gardner: So it makes a lot of different types of coffee. So you can get like espresso or or like a regular coffee.
boboballew: And you like controlled on your phone then?
Jack Gardner: No, you just put it in there and then it scans it and then it makes like the right coffee basically. So it uses the right amount of water and temperature or whatever that it does.
boboballew: Oh, interesting. That's pretty cool.
Jack Gardner: It makes really, really good coffee. But um yeah, just if I'm making like a pot, like I don't want to drink more than one of those a day just because it's kind of expensive, but it is really good. I have one this morning and then I then I crushed the mocha pot.
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: so I'm kind of like mega caffeinated right now.
boboballew: Yeah, I had some cold brew this morning and now drinking little more cold brew now. Because I like the idea of like, and just like the coffee pots we grew up with, just like making a lot of coffee at once.
boboballew: And like, like, that's what I liked about the French press. Like if I am making mocha pot, which I typically do it like I have to make coffee twice to have two cups of coffee in the morning.
Jack Gardner: right dude you should i love having that one with the thermos it's if i'm chilling at home and alex and i are are both doing it because you just get a big pot um it doesn't necessarily have to be that one but just something like that um it's really nice because you just have a full thermos and it's basically in like a yeti you know so it like stays hot forever
boboballew: That's what I would do. that
boboballew: Yeah, yeah.
Jack Gardner: um
boboballew: I'm seeing like some, I'm seeing them online. That's definitely drip.
Jack Gardner: I don't think it was $75 when we got it because it this isn't even on Prime. So I feel like it might be. Oh, wait, yeah, is. Maybe it was. I don't know. Alex bought it.
boboballew: Yeah, I'm seeing some in like, like, cause like in varying price points. um But I, that's what I would do if I got that.
Jack Gardner: Dude, you should, man. We could turn this into a coffee podcast.
boboballew: Yeah, we drink our like Dunkin Donut ground coffees and act like coffee sauce.
Jack Gardner: Call it coffee pods. Coffee pod.
boboballew: Coffee sauce.
Jack Gardner: Coffee sauce.
boboballew: What kind of like if you're using mocha pot, what kind of coffee do you use?
Jack Gardner: So Alex always gets like every once in a while, because she doesn't work like she'll have random days off throughout the week. And so ah sometimes she'll go around to like different coffee shops in Austin and occasionally will come back with like some beans from them that are nice.
boboballew: Do have grinder?
Jack Gardner: Yeah, i have a grinder. um So i I never really buy coffee.
boboballew: oh nice.
Jack Gardner: She'll like come back occasionally with something like that. And then I'll end up just making that. But it's usually pretty good. But I'm not a huge like coffee snob. So I'll kind of just drink whatever.
boboballew: Yeah, and I'm not like anti being a coffee snob. I've like attempted to become a coffee snob, but I just can't get myself to get there.
Jack Gardner: That's kind of how I feel too. Like I do enjoy a nice cup of coffee. But I don't. And i'll on the weekend, like I like to have something nice. But during the weekend, I don't really care. It's more of a function to just make me um exist properly.
boboballew: Like, i'm I'll get like, ah I'll probably buy a cup of coffee from a coffee shop like once or twice a week. But I'm not like a like, like, um like, it doesn't like tempt me when I have coffee at home, really.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, I kind of feel the same way.
boboballew: You know?
Jack Gardner: um Yeah, man.
boboballew: Like, I just use like pre-ground Tim Horton coffee grinds I buy in bulk on Amazon.
Jack Gardner: Tim Horton.
boboballew: Yeah, I love Tim Horton's coffee. I like Dunkin Donuts coffee too. I got shit from that.
Jack Gardner: duncan is good Duncan has good coffee. I know they did a like a blind taste test study.
boboballew: I think so too.
Jack Gardner: It was probably funded by Dunkin' Donuts, but I think Dunkin' Donuts placed better. I mean, it's definitely better than Starbucks.
boboballew: Starbucks is bad. Starbucks is actively bad.
Jack Gardner: Starbucks stinks. They just burn it.
boboballew: Yeah, like i I and Starbucks kind of like I hate the idea of Starbucks. So I don't like fuck around and go to Starbucks like
Jack Gardner: What really pisses me off about Starbucks is the sizes.
boboballew: Explain.
Jack Gardner: It's like they're from Seattle. You know what I mean?
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: Like, you guys aren't European. You don't have to say Venti. Just say small, medium, large.
boboballew: oh I see. Yeah, that doesn't bother me as much.
Jack Gardner: ah
boboballew: I get the vibe they're going for with that, I guess.
Jack Gardner: Dude, it pisses...
boboballew: um
Jack Gardner: Nah, dude, that shit pisses me off.
boboballew: what
Jack Gardner: Small, medium, and large, you're an American company.
boboballew: what
Jack Gardner: Don't don't act otherwise.
boboballew: what What pisses me off is um how much ice they put in their iced coffee.
Jack Gardner: Dude, don't...
boboballew: And that...
Jack Gardner: Buying a cold brew at Starbucks pisses me off. It's like $8, and then you get a sip.
boboballew: Because half a cup of coffee. Yeah, you almost have to ask for it for no ice.
Jack Gardner: Dude, it's insane.
boboballew: um
Jack Gardner: If you get it with no ice, that's probably a play, honestly.
boboballew: Or you ask for the ice on the side.
Jack Gardner: And then you're like, and then can i have some, you just got to order it, no ice, and then go back up and be like, hey, can I get some ice?
boboballew: yeah actually, can I get some ice?
Jack Gardner: This is not cold all. Yeah. Yeah.
boboballew: That and if you get an espresso drink at Starbucks. So I've worked in coffee shops and like espresso machines, like that little nozzle makes two shots of espresso. That's like default.
Jack Gardner: yeah
boboballew: That's what a shot of espresso is. But Starbucks, the way they do it is they put in the nozzle comes out like two. So it comes out on two sides.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
boboballew: If you get an espresso drink from Starbucks and you get it in a small, and they only put the cup under one of the nozzles. And then just waste the other one. Because they'd rather waste it than give it to you this...
Jack Gardner: They waste it? Are you serious? Is that actually what they do? They just waste it?
boboballew: Yeah. That messed up, dude.
Jack Gardner: um Wait, do they? Is that real?
boboballew: I believe so. I've been...
Jack Gardner: Wow. I might have to fact check you on that, but that's freaking crazy. It seems like
Jack Gardner: Unbelievable.
boboballew: But doesn't that seem like something like a company like Starbucks would do?
Jack Gardner: Yeah.
boboballew: They'd rather waste coffee than like give you what they consider a free shot of espresso? Yeah.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, that's crazy. And I know, too, my brother was talking about, you know, you ever drink like a dirty chai?
boboballew: Yeah, they're not my favorite, but...
Jack Gardner: ah dude, they're so good. I like put, I was really into them in college, and I told my dad, I told my, it's such a college drink, but, they're oh, dude, i I kind of want,
boboballew: Me too. I was... It would hit. Like...
Jack Gardner: um with the rain out right now that sounds pretty good and yeah oh I kind of want one but anyway I put my dad on the double dirty chai and he like is obsessed with them now and as a result like my younger brothers got into them so one of my brothers was um
boboballew: a woodhead like
Jack Gardner: at like a coffee shop in eight he goes to A&M and he got one there and it was like four bucks or whatever. And then at Starbucks, the way that they charge for it is it's like $5 for the dirty chai.
Jack Gardner: And then it's like an extra dollar, dollar 50 per espresso shot. So if you get ah or sorry, it's $5 for the chai. And then you pay an extra like two or $3.
boboballew: You pay for the espresso.
Jack Gardner: So it ends up being like eight bucks or something for the, for the fricking drink at Starbucks.
boboballew: oh
Jack Gardner: Where is it?
boboballew: That's unreal.
Jack Gardner: Like a normal coffee? Dude. Yeah. They pissed me off.
boboballew: Starbucks pisses me off more than any like other major American corporation.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, they can take it can take their venti asses out of this country for all I care.
boboballew: it Dude, they make me so mad. I don't even... like like Relatively compared to what other evil American companies do, like it's like... But now really, you know, it's like not that big of a deal, but it just bothers me so much.
Jack Gardner: It's because it's just so blatantly stupid. And it's like kind of pet it's like petty stuff. It's like, come on.
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: You're going to charge me an extra dollar for each espresso shot? We should burn down a Starbucks, dude.
boboballew: Yeah. Dude, that would be awesome. Like in Fight Club.
Jack Gardner: I think the best option is for us to just commit arson to our local Starbucks store.
boboballew: Yeah.
boboballew: Dude, let's ask the listeners, should we burn down a Starbucks? Let us know.
Jack Gardner: Yeah. and there Smash the like button if you want us to burn down a Starbucks.
Jack Gardner: you
boboballew: Dude, if they made good coffee, it would bother me less.
Jack Gardner: I'm down.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, you can do whatever you want. If you can make a damn cup of coffee.
boboballew: I would be willing to look past it. But the fact they do all this and it's shitty coffee and people still go as much as they do. like i like as ah i The only time so I'm ever at a Starbucks is if it is of the utmost, like I have no other option.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, I just don't understand why it's...
boboballew: Like if I'm on a road trip and I have to go to the bathroom and the only thing is I don't know.
Jack Gardner: I don't understand why it's such like a cultural phenomenon.
boboballew: I think like they were the first people to kind of like make coffee seem like cool or whatever.
Jack Gardner: um
boboballew: So then like people were like, oh, like coffee is cool if you drink it from Starbucks. And for some reason, some people still like hold on to that idea.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, I think we got a firm one down, dude. It's the only way to send our message.
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: Typically, I'm not one to resort to, you know, violence or lighting things on fire. But in this case, if you want to have your message heard, like you got to say it loudly. think.
boboballew: Dude, really don't like Starbucks.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, it's the name of the podcast.
boboballew: and Like, Duncan doesn't bother me.
Jack Gardner: Bo hates Starbucks.
boboballew: but and the name episode Like, Duncan doesn't bother me.
Jack Gardner: Yeah.
boboballew: and is there, like, another...
Jack Gardner: Because Dunkin's not trying. It's more so than anything that they're doing. It's just like the vibe.
boboballew: There's no pretentiousness. It's like, we're a fast food restaurant.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, the vibe that they're trying to portray.
boboballew: Yeah. Yeah.
Jack Gardner: Yeah. Dunkin Donuts, I can go in there and get an eclair and then a better cup of coffee than Starbucks.
boboballew: Yeah, you get like a shitty donut and they don't pretend it's like an amazing donut, but they are like good in like the shitty way. And then you get like a decent cup of coffee and it's cheaper. And with the American Express credit card that we have, you get $7 and free Dunkin' a month.
Jack Gardner: Are you serious?
boboballew: Yeah, you you should go through the membership like reward stuff.
Jack Gardner: I've looked through them. I never saw that one.
boboballew: I have a Dunkin' thing.
Jack Gardner: $7 and I don't have a Dunkin Donuts near me. So that's kind of unfortunate.
boboballew: Well, you better go find one, dude.
Jack Gardner: Yeah. might, I might need to, might need to move dude.
boboballew: Yeah. Yeah, I almost never use it because i don't buy coffee out that much. But every time I remember I go get Duncan.
Jack Gardner: I have two Starbucks right next to me.
boboballew: Dude, it's ridiculous how many start like how they don't put each other out of business and stuff.
Jack Gardner: There. Dude, we got to burn them down, man.
boboballew: Austin's probably a good like coffee shop city, though.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of coffee shops in Austin. So I think it is. I'm just not not a big coffee guy. Oh,
boboballew: Are you a pastry guy? Like, do you get a pastry at a coffee shop?
Jack Gardner: you know, I might i might ah dip my fingers into the the pastry ah display.
boboballew: What do you go for?
Jack Gardner: Something sweet, cake pop.
boboballew: it's fucked up, man.
Jack Gardner: That's what pisses me off, actually, more than anything in Starbucks is every time i go in there, I see cake pops. I get PTSD.
boboballew: Do you actually get cake pops, though?
Jack Gardner: No, I don't.
boboballew: Dude, cake pops? like Like, in the situation that we're referencing here, we were at a party and there were cake pops.
Jack Gardner: This is deep Toxos lore.
boboballew: I'll eat a cake.
boboballew: with this is definitely come up on pod.
Jack Gardner: Probably like 10 times.
boboballew: So hopefully people remember because I don't know if we need to like recap the story. But in a situation like that, if there's a cake pop, sure, I'll eat a cake pop. Right. But like, if I'm out, and I like, I would never pay for a cake pop.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, I wouldn't either, especially after what happened.
boboballew: I don't really see them anywhere but Starbucks.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, they always have them Starbucks and it pisses me off every time. I want to send you a picture every time I see It's so funny.
boboballew: You should. But then that would that would be incriminating yourself of showing that you go to Starbucks a lot.
Jack Gardner: It's... Yeah, it's kind of funny looking back at that that that's kind of like a big part of our friendship is that moment.
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: You know, like...
boboballew: Well, we were already like pretty... so We were very solidified as friends at that point.
Jack Gardner: Yeah. Oh, yeah, we were like good friends, but just...
boboballew: Yeah, we were like hanging out all the time. But that was just like a funny moment that like...
Jack Gardner: It's a key moment I like think back on a lot. it It's just so funny.
boboballew: Totally. Yeah, because we had been like... friends for years at that point, but it is like one of those things like now it's like when we think back on early friendship, that's like.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, cake pop is... ah Yeah, that's funny. um Okay, so yeah, we'll we'll burn down a Starbucks, though. That sounds good to me.
boboballew: But what pastry do you go for like at a coffee shop?
Jack Gardner: um I don't know. i like I like sweet stuff. I don't think I...
boboballew: Yes, I am.
Jack Gardner: I don't I like s scones.
boboballew: I dude, I'm a scone guy myself.
Jack Gardner: Big scone guy.
boboballew: Personally, i love a scone.
Jack Gardner: Oh, oh.
boboballew: yeah
Jack Gardner: Indubitably. but kind of What kind of scone you mess around with?
boboballew: Hmm. I don't know. I I'm a big fan of like, like a blueberry scone. I had a scone the other day at a coffee shop.
Jack Gardner: Ooh.
boboballew: I saw the new Jurassic world movie and I've been trying to make these videos where I review movies.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, I saw your video.
boboballew: So I walked.
Jack Gardner: That was funny.
boboballew: Yeah. And, um, so I went to a coffee shop after the movie to like write it and like plan filming it. And I got a cup of coffee and I got a like, They had like three s scones. They had a plain scone. They had like an oat and some pretentious like fruit that was basically a raisin. And then like they had like another one.
boboballew: and That shit pisses me off so much when they like they try and like be like fancy, but it's like just a raisin or whatever. you know what I mean? um And I asked the guy working.
boboballew: um I shouldn't have asked. I hate when I do this, but sometimes I'm like, I kind of am leaning towards one, but I'm not like super sold. And I'll be like, Oh, which one's your favorite?
boboballew: And then they tell me the one I, one I wouldn't have gotten. And then I feel like i have to order the one they just told me. You know what I mean? and Like i ask, like hoping they're going to like affirm my decision.
boboballew: And then I'm like, fuck, I guess I'll get the, Oh, like weird raisin one.
Jack Gardner: is Oh, bullshit, yeah.
boboballew: It was fine. But, um, like a blueberry scone or like a cranberry orange scone or like, like, um, a coffee shop.
Jack Gardner: one Cranberry orange is nice.
boboballew: Yeah. Yeah.
Jack Gardner: Okay, I'm glad you're on the fruity sweet vibes instead of like like chocolate.
boboballew: I went to a coffee shop today before I went to the grocery store. i didn't get coffee, but they have really good sandwiches. And I was like, eh, fuck it. i'm about to move out of this neighborhood. I like their sandwiches. This might be the last time I get a sandwich from here.
boboballew: So I went in and got a sandwich and they have a bunch of pastries and stuff. And they had a morning cardamom roll, which was basically they just couldn't admit to themselves that they were set. They made cinnamon rolls.
boboballew: You know, ah sometimes my neighborhood pisses me off.
Jack Gardner: Yes.
boboballew: So so and <unk> like it's there's nothing wrong with a cinnamon roll.
Jack Gardner: ah Yeah.
boboballew: Dude, I went to an ice cream shop in my neighborhood. Like a month, a couple months ago with a friend, we like, do you remember when I ran that race?
Jack Gardner: yes yeah
boboballew: me Me and one of my buddies who lives in my neighborhood, we like we're like, let's get and and go to ah get ice cream as like a treat after we ran the race. I went to an ice cream shop in my neighborhood. And and my neighborhood being the neighborhood that it is, Bushwick, they had all like fancy flavors. like They didn't have like cookies and cream or cookie dough or anything like that. they had The most normal flavor they had that day was lemon poppy seed.
boboballew: ice cream, which I will say was quite good, but they had
Jack Gardner: But that is interesting that for ice cream, that that's the most normal one.
boboballew: Yeah, it that should be like, you should have all normal flavors. And then I'll give you like one or two, like we're kind of like swinging here. And that should be like a swing flavor, in my opinion.
boboballew: But that was the most normal flavor. They had a flavor called Waldmeister.
Jack Gardner: What is that?
boboballew: I asked the lady that question. I said, what's Waldmeister? And then she looked at me and she said, it would be easier for you to try it than for me to explain it to you.
boboballew: If you can't explain what a flavor of ice cream is, you shouldn't have it as a flavor of ice cream. That's such bullshit, dude.
Jack Gardner: Wolfmeister. Yeah, that does kind of piss me off.
boboballew: I was... It made me so fucking mad, dude. Like, like this is such horseshit. This I was like, I ate it was like a decent flavor of ice cream.
boboballew: So it's like eating it. But I was so mad at it the whole time. too It's like this is.
Jack Gardner: yeah It's like you can just be normal ice cream.
boboballew: Yeah, just have normal fucking flavors. Like, oh, my God, dude, it made me so mad. I can't wait to leave my neighborhood.
Jack Gardner: That's so funny. I was just thinking of um whenever I was in Barcelona, I had these like, it was like a chocolate croissant every day. I found one similar online, but it's basically just like, here, it's like this.
Jack Gardner: It's on Pinterest. Let me send you a link.
boboballew: Can I be honest with you while you pull this up?
Jack Gardner: But it's basically,
boboballew: Chocolate croissants, little overrated in my opinion.
Jack Gardner: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: Dude, that I would have never been into it because I'm not a huge like chocolate pastry guy, but I was having one of these like every day when I was doing the study abroad.
boboballew: These do look quite good.
Jack Gardner: It was so good. um But that reminds me, were you so Kelly and I were having this big debate. This is probably like five years ago of chocolate chip pancakes versus blueberry pancakes.
Jack Gardner: Do you remember this?
boboballew: Oh, yeah, I've, I've like kind of chirped in on this debate over the years, for sure.
Jack Gardner: what was your What was your stance again?
boboballew: Blubbery.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, of course.
boboballew: Yeah, chocolate's too much.
Jack Gardner: And it was kind of funny. Yeah, and it's like, it's for children. Like a chocolate chip pancake.
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: Like, what are 12?
boboballew: Like if there's a chocolate chip pancake, I'll have a couple bites. But like, I'm like, I just am eating chocolate at this point.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, it was kind of funny, though, because we were both like so passionate that the other person was wrong.
boboballew: Yeah, yeah.
Jack Gardner: I was like, dude, America is going to agree with me. So we made an Instagram post and it was like exactly 50-50. It's like the most the most evenly divided thing I've ever seen in my life.
Jack Gardner: Like, I think we got like 100 responses and it was literally 50-50.
boboballew: I go I go blueberry every time. If, if those are my two options, I would go like, um, banana over chocolate chip too.
Jack Gardner: Dude, of course you have to.
Jack Gardner: Ooh.
boboballew: I'm
Jack Gardner: I've had a cinnamon roll. or what do you call it? A morning cardamom pancake.
boboballew: morning cardamom pancake.
Jack Gardner: I one of those ones. It's is nice. From Kirby Lane.
boboballew: I gotta be honest though. The morning cardamom rule. It was very good.
Jack Gardner: Fire. Yeah, i I can imagine, dude.
boboballew: Yeah. But I was like, this is just a cinnamon roll.
Jack Gardner: If you have the gall to call a cinnamon roll morning cardamom, it better be good.
Jack Gardner: This
boboballew: And then I had a um a white fish salad sandwich on a baguette.
Jack Gardner: No shit. They called it whitefish.
boboballew: yeah but Yeah. Well, it's like a very like New York kind of thing.
Jack Gardner: Like
boboballew: It's just like a white fish, but made like kind of like chicken salad, you know, with like mayo and all that stuff in it.
Jack Gardner: house like tuna?
boboballew: I don't think it's tuna. I don't know what kind of fish it is.
Jack Gardner: I thought whitefish was tuna.
boboballew: um Tuna is a white fish.
Jack Gardner: True.
boboballew: White fish salad. um Wild river tweed sea trout.
Jack Gardner: Well, there you go. All right. Um, You learn something new.
boboballew: Because tuna ah tuna would be tuna salad.
Jack Gardner: See, that's what I thought. This was another situation, like a morning cardamom situation where it was.
boboballew: No, no.
Jack Gardner: OK, I see. All right.
boboballew: I do love tuna salad, though.
Jack Gardner: um
boboballew: Like a tuna melt. That's a pretty good sandwich.
Jack Gardner: That's one of those things that is really good, but can also be really bad. Like sometimes tune us out. I'm like, this is the worst thing that has ever existed.
boboballew: i have to You have to pick your spots with it.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, it's got to be good.
boboballew: Like, yeah. But when it is good, it's really good.
Jack Gardner: This reminds me, um all the food talk. Have you seen those like 12 year old kids who have the podcast where they talk about food? I think they're called like MD, MD foodie boys or something.
boboballew: I'm aware of it.
Jack Gardner: It's the dumbest shit I've ever seen. It's so funny. They'll be like, what do you think about like Cool Ranch Doritos? And one of them be like, I've never tried them. Another one will be like, pretty good. And that's like the entire clip.
Jack Gardner: It's so funny, dude.
boboballew: Dude, I had um the purple bag of Doritos yesterday. What a chip.
Jack Gardner: Yeah. Do you know about Chubb Perm?
boboballew: ah No.
Jack Gardner: He's one of the MD Foodie Boys. I'll show you a picture of him. Yep. We paused briefly, but we're back. So, yeah, anyway, this...
boboballew: We are.
Jack Gardner: I don't have a lot to say about the MD Foodie Boys. It's just ah a phenomenon I i don't understand. And I think it won't last long, personally.
boboballew: Yeah, they're really popular, aren't they?
Jack Gardner: Yeah, but just from the clips I've seen, like, the conversation is just... not interesting and they would literally ask yeah i think so but they would literally ask the kids be like what's your favorite vegetable and one of them's like i don't eat vegetables i've never had one and that's like the whole the whole thing like all right so yeah it's pretty funny but maybe we should we should find more of a lane and just start reviewing food
boboballew: It's the novelty of them being children, I guess.
boboballew: co Cool, cool, cool.
boboballew: Dude, I tried that recently on Instagram and Instagram was like, no, you don't do this.
Jack Gardner: We could just review like the sounds that food make when you when you chew on it.
boboballew: Oh, that's interesting.
Jack Gardner: Like ASMR. ah Get really close to the mic and just oh
boboballew: Dude, I hate ASMR.
Jack Gardner: be like...
boboballew: Dude, it grosses me out so much.
Jack Gardner: Dude, there's a there's a mechanical keyboard ASMR stuff. Would you like it like this?
boboballew: Well, that's that's sick ASMR.
Jack Gardner: hello
boboballew: Oh, dudes. If you were just clicking, I could do it. i hate that.
boboballew: I hate that shit. It grosses me out so much.
Jack Gardner: Dude, that would be kind of funny if you do like glazed donut ASMR. just like... Oh, ah I'm gonna throw up.
boboballew: Dude, you know what would be sick ASL?
Jack Gardner: Nathan's hot dog eating ASMR.
boboballew: You know it would be sick ASMR though? Morning cardamom ASMR.
Jack Gardner: The morning carnival. That would be kind of a funny series where you just eat shitty food and make ASMR for it.
Jack Gardner: Oh my gosh.
boboballew: Dude, I went to i have a bucket list of restaurants in my neighborhood that I want to go to before I move.
Jack Gardner: Mm-hmm.
boboballew: And i I went to one the other night and i just woke up from a nap and I was like, what do I want to do for dinner? I have food. And then i was like, oh, I'm about to move. So I should start checking off restaurants on this bucket list.
boboballew: And I went to one just like a sit down restaurant by myself before I like went out that night and i like i was like all right like let's like be somewhat responsible here and then i got super carried away the menu and i ordered so much fucking food and then i was like i have to eat every bite and then i did but i left the restaurant i was like oh my god
Jack Gardner: Oh, no.
Jack Gardner: Man, there's this um Indian place in Austin that I go to. It's it's really good. It's nothing like super fancy, but it's a really good restaurant. um
boboballew: Indian food doesn't need to be fancy, I think.
Jack Gardner: But yeah, I don't think so either. It needs to not be like, it's got to be like kind of nice because Indian, bad Indian food can be really bad.
boboballew: Yes, yeah.
Jack Gardner: But good yeah, good Indian food, those top three foods for me, though.
boboballew: And fuck up your stomach and shit.
Jack Gardner: I love it.
boboballew: It's so good.
Jack Gardner: um But this place I go, every time I go there, I eat like a full thing and then a bunch of naan. And then like i'll I'll go on a Friday night or something like, yeah, after we should like go do this.
Jack Gardner: And then every time after without fail, I'm like, oh, my God.
boboballew: Nope. No, no way. what um What do you get?
Jack Gardner: Dude, i'm I'm a big fan of just the tikka masala, the classic.
boboballew: Dude, yeah, shut up and play the hits, you know? Like...
Jack Gardner: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I asked them one time, like, what percentage of revenue tikka masala accounted for at the restaurant. The guy's like, it's got to be like 80%.
boboballew: Tikka masala, butter chicken. Like, I get it. Like, there's other Indian food.
Jack Gardner: Which is butter chicken's like the exact same thing, too.
boboballew: Yeah, it's like the same shit, right?
Jack Gardner: With peppers. Yeah, I think so.
boboballew: So it's like, i love both those things and I tend to order them the most. And I'll try and mix it up sometimes. but um But, and the other stuff is super good too.
boboballew: But like tikka masala or whatever is just like... Yeah.
Jack Gardner: Whenever I had tikka masala for the first time, it was literally like a ratatouille moment. I was like, this flavor is unbelievable.
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: And I probably have told you about this probably on podcast before, but the first time I had Indian food was in Denton. And it was like one of those like bad Indian places. Like it was kind of like Chipotle style where they were just like scoop some slop under your, and it was nasty.
boboballew: Oh, sure, yeah.
Jack Gardner: And I was like, oh, I guess I just don't like Indian food. And then um i went in San Francisco, and there was this dude who was – um he was an Indian guy who was doing his, he was like from India, but he was studying in the U S for college. And he was an intern also.
Jack Gardner: And we're like good friends throughout the internship. And he's like, dude, you got to try Indian food again. So we went to this nice Indian restaurant and I, and he was like, just get tikka masala. And I had it. And I was like, Oh my God, this is like the best thing I've ever had in my life.
boboballew: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: It's just such a unique flavor. But then I, so ever since then I was like, it was just kind of funny. Cause my perception of like Indian food was so warped. Cause I just had terrible Indian food.
boboballew: Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. Like college, like they're just trying to get as much food out as quickly as possible.
Jack Gardner: Dude, I guess. It was bad, though.
boboballew: Dude, but like Dallas has a lot of Indian people now. So it's like, apparently like the Indian food in Dallas is quite good.
Jack Gardner: I bet it is, man. I bet there's, like, plenty of good Indian food all over the place.
boboballew: Like over by like where my parents like, like used to live like there's like a bunch. My parents moved to Alabama. I don't think they're going to split time that much.
Jack Gardner: Oh, like 100% Alabama
boboballew: I think they're going to like spend a lot of time in Dallas, but I don't think they're going to like keep a house there anymore because they like living in Alabama.
Jack Gardner: okay yeah Interesting.
boboballew: And why would you split time really? You know, if you like, don't think you'll like get your money's worth or whatever.
Jack Gardner: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: Right. Yeah, I guess it makes sense with like your you're a sister's kid. It's a girl. Is that right?
boboballew: It's a girl, Caroline.
Jack Gardner: That's right. Caroline.
boboballew: Yeah, yeah.
Jack Gardner: Boom, boom, boom. Hey, check this out.
Jack Gardner: This week on TalkSauce, Beau talks about his niece.
boboballew: His niece.
Jack Gardner: isn It goes kind of hard.
boboballew: That's fun.
Jack Gardner: but
boboballew: Yeah. Dude, we should spit on that.
Jack Gardner: yeah Next TalkSauce is just going to be 30 minutes of us rapping.
boboballew: Dude, an all rap episode.
Jack Gardner: That would be pretty cool. feel like I've said everything I need to say. Got anything else?
boboballew: Well, one question. Do you think if we'd have kept rapping like we did in high school, like we'd have gotten like good at it and become like famous like white guy rappers?
Jack Gardner: OK.
boboballew: Like Tiger Tribe?
Jack Gardner: There is a niche for it.
boboballew: I think we would have gotten canceled.
Jack Gardner: There's a niche for it. Oh, yeah, definitely.
boboballew: It's a myth.
Jack Gardner: But.
boboballew: The further away we get from that period of time in our lives... And the like when I think about some of the shit, like they're talking about like killing kids we went to school with.
Jack Gardner: completely
boboballew: It's amazing that no one got in trouble.
Jack Gardner: yeah it's absurd dude yeah
boboballew: Like we were like threatening violence on like other rap groups.
Jack Gardner: yeah i think it was so clearly like fake though that it wasn't that big of a deal but yeah don't know
boboballew: Yeah, so wild. That was such a funny time. That was like, that is like the thing i like laugh about the most when I think about high school is that we started this like weird movement of like people starting rap groups in high school.
Jack Gardner: Yeah.
boboballew: And we, we definitely were like top dog, but it was like so wild that there was like, like we had like beefs with kids.
Jack Gardner: Yeah,
Jack Gardner: hey it was hilarious. Yeah.
boboballew: So funny. And then like to us, that was like the most important thing happening. But to like other kids in the grade, what the fuck is going on over there?
Jack Gardner: yeah
boboballew: And then remember, there was like a yearbook photo. And then like all these like people who weren't part of Tiger Tribe, like Compton and like it's like not reflective of who was in Tiger Tribe at all.
Jack Gardner: Yeah, man. Good times. Glad they're over, but good times.
boboballew: It's still fun, like, when you were in New York and we and we sent Kelly a diss track.
Jack Gardner: Yeah.
Jack Gardner: that was That was awesome. We should make another Kelly diss track. Nobody listens to this. ah Kelly, if you don't respond to us within... Yeah, I'd
boboballew: oh that's ah that's a good... If Kelly doesn't acknowledge this, it's war.
Jack Gardner: yeah
boboballew: Yeah,
Jack Gardner: Yeah, ah you have 30 days um from the release of this podcast.
boboballew: yeah you have one month. We're giving you time. No, from now. So he only has three.
Jack Gardner: So you have like 21 days. You have three weeks it a to respond. Or you're getting another diss track. All right. I think that's a good way to end it I'm going to play this
boboballew: I'd say so.
Jack Gardner: Oh, and Jack, yeah.
boboballew: Ooh. This saga is so good.
Jack Gardner: What a guy. we should try and get him on the pod.
boboballew: Dude.
