Have you tried it? Isn't it Bob? That's the Bob. Bob lost his talk about. It's Taco Bell. Yeah. KFC, they came up with a lemonade one. It's dog shit.

Do you have like, is there a ranking of Mountain Dew flavors? It's going to be different, but I would say Baja Blast, Code Red, Mountain Dew, and then every other flavor they've ever released. Oh, I like both. I will to choose the Jigs. Is that the Halo one? No, that could be. I feel like for Baja Blast, it really was just a team of scientists going, we need to exactly replicate the flavor of melted popsicle from your youth.

And they knocked it out of the park. They absolutely fucking nailed it. They really figured it out. Yeah, do you know what apparently it is? What is it? It's a mountain. Sugar, sugar water. It's mountain dew and I think like blue, power eight or whatever else they have. Yeah, it's a real, they just mix it. Really? Yeah, that right or whatever else they have. Yeah.

It's a real, they just mix it. Really? Yeah. That's apparently what it's supposed to be. Wow. Well, well done food scientists. You've done it again. Speaking of different flavors and ranking them in order, we have our own war criminal,

Mr. Blizzard Bear joining us. Mr. Blizzard, one Blizzard Bear. I don't think War Criminal is a correct term for me. I'm someone that's speaking the truth, and you all are just afraid about it. What are those World War II trials called? The Hague, the New World War II trials? I have a question.

Yes. I was out last week filming something. What is going on? OK. So, um, Blizz, Girl got cookies. Uh, we just passed the Girl Scout cookie season. Yes. And, uh, blizz is a moron posted his, his tear of Girl Scout cookie rankings. Interesting. And I'm guessing it was a very bad take. Based on every blizz thinks it was bad. I'm on a podium right now. I feel like I'm right. This

only is only like solidified that I might be right. And what I was saying. I'm on a podium right now. I feel like I'm right. This only, this only like solidified that I might be right and what I was saying. I don't think I'm wrong. I just think that people are idolizing the mixture of mint and chocolate where like, it just tastes like toothpaste and chocolate. So I'm not gonna lie. Well, you had the most basic shit at the top.

Before we get to his ranking, now since Barbara doesn't know anything let's ask her Barbara, what do you think is the best girl scout cookie and what is the worst girl scout cookie? I haven't had them all I really like Thin minutes and caramel delights. I also like the lemon ones. I don't know if I would say anything's the worst I mean they're all cookies. We said lemon lasts, so I'm to say. I do like lemon. I like lemon flavors. That's so fucked up.

I think that is your one, two, and three. Okay, okay. You'll say you take it. Okay. Do we have the Blizzard Baronstein list? The Baron. I'm trying to look at that, but the end of it here is. Oh, no, we have the photo.

Oh, there it is. Okay, so could you run us through these, what your STD all the way down to Dias? Cause I don't know based on the photos. Yeah, I don't know the names of the first one, but they're a shortbread cookie with chocolate, based on chocolate on the bottom. They're called thanks a lot.

I did my research. I can't, I don't know. Oh, okay. They're really good, because I love shortbread cookies and I think they're great with tea or coffee. And originally, tray foils are my first, I put tray foils in ST,

but then I saw that there was a chocolate bottom tray foil, and I was like, we gotta put that in S tier instead. So then I moved the tray foils down, and then these two lemon cookies, they're made by two different companies, which is why they're different, but they're basically the same thing. So I put them in A,

because everyone loves a lemon cookie. That reminds me of a spring happiness joy. And who doesn't love a chocolate bottom? I like bat bottom What is girls? What is a rock and world go around baby? Hear me out. We cancel Andrew We cancel Andrew I I feel like anything that chocolate covered with peanut butter or with graham cracker on the inside Pretty good cookies here. I didn't even know where. Yeah, cookies.

Or that existed because I'm a fan of the chocolate peanut butter myself. Like, you never had that one? No. I could not, the, the, the, the, the, thanks a lot. I think are limited edition because they're not in the 2023 lineup. Um, uh, per, per my research. You're a limited limited.

Um, there might have been a limited run, but they're on up. I do the place. Yeah. I'm not going to be a per my research. They might have been a limited run. But they're on a... I'm doing the play. Yeah, watch yourself, Councillor. Yeah, the thanks a lot, I think I'm pretty sure, are limited a dish. And then there are two different kinds of lemon cookies, which is bizarre to me. I've got one of them. He explained it, it's two different meanings. There are two different distributors.

Okay. I think it used to be that cookie and they changed to that or it used to be this cookie and they changed to that. And then what you got next? The chocolate covered, because I love chocolate covered cookies. I think they're good. But sometimes peanut butter can be a lot and sometimes marshmallow can also be a lot.

So I just kind of put it in B, it was fine. Y'all can say I love a dry cookie, but adding peanut butter to a dry, that's super dry, so I had to put that in C. I don't know what that is, but that's a chocolate chip cookie I'm assuming. That looks like it would be dry. It would also be dry.

It would look like it'd be crumbly and dry. What's in it? Oh, I'm sorry, this is the very bottom one. This is the gluten-free, toffee-tastic. Oh, that's all there is. You have this in D-rank. You're right about that peanut butter cookie in C. That is a dry-ass But the dosey dose.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Shit. I was going to buy milk for this podcast. Oh, I should have come to me too. I should have done it. I know, uh, whole milk. Stop it. No, I love home.

I love home milk. Get oatmeal. Put the cow up to me. Then I know this is a peopar going to be like, what? That's the most selling cookie. Yeah, you can still be wrong. And it's OK. I think this is what anger are gonna be like what that's the most selling cookie. Yeah, you can still be wrong And it's okay. I think this is what anger the most this is what anger people are like Everyone loves it does seem like a work crime

And you just dismissed the biggest case for why they're some of the best cookies You're just you just tossed away the fact that it's the best selling cookie and you're saying that the majority of people are wrong Wow, I mean I would george of people are wrong. Wow. I mean, how could you say something controversial? I'm not. I'm with Liz, though. Just because a bunch of people like something doesn't mean it's necessary.

Maybe they just have a doubt. I'm sure, but I also love those, though. And I think that there's a lot of people. Yeah, that's where you're biased. I am going to, I'm going to actually bridge some divide here because I, I think I love them and start great cookie. I don't even know if I would consider them an S tier cookie. They're good. I will say what takes them, they're at great cookie. I don't even know if I would consider them an S tier cookie, they're good.

I will say what takes them, they're at least an A. They're at least an A tier cookie, yes. What could push them into S tier is if you eat them frozen. You put them in the freezer. But they don't sell them that way. They don't sell them that way. So if you're like me and one sleeve doesn't make it home, once you buy them, you're in the car

and the sleeve is literally like sitting like a leantower pizza in the car and the sleeve is literally like sitting like tilted like a lean tower pizza in the cup holder. And I'm like cold cookies. I saw on Twitter. Someone was like, yeah, you could put them in the freezer. And I said, okay, that makes sense. But then they were like other people underneath their tweet would be like, why?

So it's waxy because they've had waxy. Yeah, it just changed the consistency. Yeah. My big question here is the last one in your D ranking. So these used to be called, what are they called? Samoas. Samoas, but now they're called. Carmel D-Lights.

Carmel Delights. Um, I don't know why the name changed, but honestly, I probably got the text. That's why he's canceling them because he likes Samoas the name more. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, once the last time you ate it. Probably like a couple months ago. Okay, you see what happens was as you mature and become a man, your taste buds change over time and you develop a more mature palette. For 27, I'm 27, my balls haven't dropped. What's up?

Yeah, just go on. While this has been going on, there's been a poll running in Rurshjitjac. I'm gonna read you the results so far. Please. The most popular cookie with 42% of the vote is Thin Mints. Okay. The second most popular cookie with 28% of the votes is tagalogs.

Tagalog? Yeah, I think you said it's the peanut butter. There might be a name change for that as well. But peanut butter patty. The peanut butter patty. Peanut butter patty. That's going to be my favorite. Yeah.

Those are my favorite as well. Oh, by the way, I brought about your cookies. Oh, by the way, yeah. Third place with 22% of the vote is caramel delights. Yep. And then fourth place with 8% of the votes is trefoils. Oh, yes. Trefoils.

That's your eight here there. You know, I'm coming around a little more to your ranking. I think there are some things that are off, but I do agree that like the buttermilk cookies are always so good. They're always so good. They're so good. And also the tagline was called.

Oh my god. That sounds, that looks amazing. I don't know if I've had those before. I've never had these before. And these might, these sound like this is going to be the dark horse that comes from behind. What is it? Nice. I guess it? Adventure falls.

Okay. So this is- Andrew, you're not beating these allegations. Yeah. No, no, no, no. So the lemon ups, those are the other distributor and that's why they're in a different bag. Why is that? I think so.

And not only that lemon ups are the lemon version of the thanks a lot. So the lengths of thanks a lot to have the chocolate bottom, those have like a lemon icing bottom. But I will say, I actually really like tree foils. Everyone says that to dry cookie. I put it to you that it's actually not a dry cookie. It's very buttery. It's more, it's more buttery than the other shortbread cookies

that they try to like put stuff on. Like that they try to like gusty on. Like that they try to like, gusty up with other things. So I'm not 100% against tree foils, I just think. But this, I cannot wait to try this one. Adventure foils, indulgent brownie inspired cookies with caramel flavor cream and a hint of sea salt. Get, get, get, okay, change weight, okay.

So I cannot wait for these. Should we do, how should we do this? Because we have all the different flavors? We need to take a picture of all the cookies on the table like a drug bust cops do these are off the streets Apparently there's two Bakery's or two distributors. I guess you would say cable or elves also inter bake or Ferrarra I do want to be clear there there are two sides to this argument

You're either with me or with Armando He is Currently in the chat saying barbeque careful who you pick and decide you're on I that's I'm just relaying the information But I'm more welcoming. I'm more welcoming to people joining my side or Mondo's very hostile. I hate this. Okay, that's not a lot for me. Did you guys all pose like cops? Yep. Alright, so let's go over what we have here.

I assume what we'll do is, how about we each eat one of the cookies at a time? Yes, already ate my thin mint. Well I'll have a thin mint, we'll all have a caramel delight, it's so, yeah. If I need to eat eight cookies for the podcast, I guess. So we use the sacrifices we do for entertainment

for you people. And do we, do we want to do like a one to 10 scale or do we want to eat them all then rank? I'm gonna lose track, I think. Yeah, I think we need to go, I think we need to go cookie by cookie. Okay. And just kind of get the,

so we'll be going to have our cleanser. Yeah, these are the dosi dos I think we need to go cookie by cookie. Okay, and just kind of give the Yeah, these are the dosi dose which are the dry ass peanut cookies oatmeal sandwich cookies with peanut butter filling hold on It smells really good. Yeah, take it. It's taking it. Okay. It smells amazing Very dry cookie, but I do I do like the peanut butter inside. Dude, I love these. They remind me of those giant like rich peanut butter crackers. It's a little... A little bit sweeter though.

Yeah. Yeah. Actually, it's dry on me. And you made sure it wasn't expired, right? You got off of Amazon. Ooh. What are they gonna turn to? Oh, that was an eight.

All right. I'm just making sure. Just making sure. The thin minutes are fit. Counterfeit cookies here. If the thin minutes expire, they turn to rice and so we're real fuck. Yeah, this is a solid beat here cookie.

I peanut butter does the heavy lifting here. It really does. Peanut butter does most of the heavy lifting because I like the crunch, but it also it's a dry ass cookie. Very good. This was them trying to do the Ritz's peanut butter cups. Without the Ritz's peanut butter cups is this one, I think. You're talking about just like the rich peanut butter crack. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I was thinking of Reese's peanut butter.

It does, it is that same peanut butter flavor. It's a specific peanut butter they use. Yeah, it tastes like the Ritz peanut butter. Yeah, Ritz, yeah. Well, and that and because the cookies are so buttery, like it adds to that. Kind of that factor. Yeah. I will say though, I think they would have benefited

from doing it salty cracker and then peanut butter. Sweet peanut butter. Just like rits. Yeah, I agree though. I think that's a beat. I think that's a beat here, solid beat. Hey, I'm happy to get that a beat. I'm still gonna give it a C.

Because if you're comparing it to peanut butter rits, then it's like, oh, you could have just got a peanut butter ritz. They reduced the peanut butter on these Oh on the peanut butter patty sees you's could be much thicker with the butter. Yeah, man That's that's this is thin. All right. That is that is inflation. That's right. Look at it It's right before your eyes. My mom was a Kind of high up in the Girl Scouts for many years and she like oversaw our region of Girl Scouts It's Texas where we were So whenever Girl Scout cookie time came around the Girl Scout 18 wheeler would come to our house and park in front of our house And all the cookies for the region would get unloaded into our house

God damn So there's no room for me to sleep because my bed was filled with cookies But it's the worst when you're a kid because We have tons of cookies in the house. Somebody has already bought all of these. You cannot eat any of these cookies. Damn. That's why I know these are thinner. These have lost peanut butter.

Okay. I'm just gonna. I feel like the ratio is off. The ratio is way off. These are more peanut butter. These do need way more peanut butter. The way they used to be. Back in my day.

Honestly, though, this is really good. I feel like the ratio actually is okay. I want you to eat a lot of it because if it was equal parts peanut butter to cookie, it would be too much peanut butter. Yeah, it would give you kind of like, what's that kind of the actually the mouth where it gets all sticky. What's the term for that? Growth mouth. That's a doctor. It's gross mouth. It's gross amount. Where it gets to like, that sound. I don't want to do it too much because a lot of people listen to this

as naughty about you. No, I'm trying to enhance the experience for them. Oh God. Cut that out. I'm gonna say, that is a good cookie, but what knocks that down for me is the fact that like, I feel like I could only eat like two of those. I don't want another one.

I'm like, why? Like, whereas like, I could eat a box of thinnets in one sitting. I don't think I can have more like three. I put that on A personally. I'm gonna, I'm gonna agree with Blizz on this one. I think this is a B. In my mind, this was like an S or an A. After eating it right now, Blizz is right. That's a big one.

I think that's a B. I would put that in A and the previous one to B. And that's the only place I'll agree with you. I like that one more. Do you agree with me with gay rights? Like we should have gay rights? Yeah, of course. I mean, all the truth is that.

I'm sorry, because I thought she said you only would agree with me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no an interest it not everything else. Well, where else you stand? I mean Because you're big Harry Potter guy right Oh, that's Gibson off the top room and we're back Yes, you're trying cookies after that hard cut that just happened I can't thank you enough for bringing us all these cookies Come on every week. Oh, I very well. So these are not on your tier list.

Yeah, maybe you actually love this fry one. This is a live ring of this cookie, right? Is it another peanut butter? This is the adventure full. This is caramel. Adventure full. Browning and caramel cookie. Browning with a little hint of sea salt.

Do you have trash can? Can I have that tiny trash can? Deep. I don't know if I want to eat that mini cookie. This is deep. I don't like it. What am I eating? What is the description say on the box?

Andrew for this? Indulgent Brownie inspired cookie. What about it? Indulgent Brownie inspired cookie with caramel flavored caramel or caramel hydrogen. That's it. Flavored cream and a hint of sea salt. These suck at the chest. They're deep. I don't like a brownie cookie. If it's a brownie flavor, I want it to be brownie consistency. And I'm pretty firm on that for myself. I think what they try to do with those was recapture the texture of a thin mint, but with a different kind of zest to it.

And like, it's giving me sea. It's fine. I don't hate as much as Barbara does. I put it in a sea. I give that a sea. And it is, it's like, guys, we need to be careful. I'm going to be careful. I'm going to be careful. I don't hate it as much as Barbara does. I put it in the sea.

I give that a sea. And it is, it's like, guys, we need a mintless mint. It really was that. We gotta do something. I gotta go back to the well. The way I think about it is, I don't want another one. Yeah. Exactly.

I don't even want to finish this one, which is why I'm like, a cookie you want to finish. I'm trying to pace myself. It's plus my macros are all out of whack, right? I would say it tastes like brownie brittle a little bit. And it's not about it after the taste, but not the consistency of a brownie brittle. Yeah.

So I would also put it in C. All right, what's the next one? This is lemon ups, crispy lemon flavored cookies with inspiring messages to lift your spirit. Already negative points for having this crinkly ass plastic bag. You're doing everything else in a bottle. I'm not the cookie itself.

Open one of those in the movies. I am creative. I am gutsy. The used to all lemon ones I have are they have lemon cookie with like a something on the back of it. They smell like a like a frosting on the back. Oh, okay. I wish don't these have like a white frosting.

No, there is. These smell like an amazing candle I want to put a wickedness and light it up. I'm a risk take. Oh, what is mine say? I'm a leader This is a bind-in cookie, Mr. Teeth. I am now a manager. Thank you This is worse than the other lemon ones Lemon aides is what I like the other lemon ones. The other one's called lemon aids. Lemon aids is what I like.

Okay, so you can't just, this is different. That's fucking synthetic lemon right there. Yeah, that is what I'm, take it in baby, it's really good. Oh man, this cookie brought to you by Pine Salt. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, it feels like I just got into my mom's pulporears. Do we not have to lemonade ones?

Cause lemonade ones are top. Yeah, I would say, these are the lemonade ones, right? Yeah, the one in the middle of the A tier, you have there that's a lot of lemon. Yeah, those are really good. I say that's a that's a deep. Yeah, like I get that out of your gas station Be like fuck this is not good for me This is the ones you get on a road trip and get halfway decked down away from like the convenience store and you're like Fuck can we turn around and we have more dad turn the car around I blew it and got a stupid

Yeah, these are, yeah, they really, they have this a big whiff to me. Well, I like it better than the brownie one. Honestly, yeah, frankly, yeah. So I feel like if the brownie is D, this would be C or even maybe higher D, but still D. Yeah, I agree with you. I agree with you.

This one against the brownie one. I'd rather get the brownie one than this one. I'd rather get this one with the brownie. Weird. Because at least this has a little bit of the shortbreadness to it. Yeah. It's got like the truffle oil or a thanks a lot, consistency.

But yeah, that lemon flavor is really just like floor cleaning goodness. Yeah. It feels like it's like not at the par of quality for Girl Scout cookies in my opinion. Well, so far our par for quality is not very high. I don't think we've really rated anything as being great. So we haven't got in the Finland yet. We haven't got S tier.

Yeah, these are caramel delights. Crispy cookies topped with caramel, toasted coconut and chocolatey stripes. I like these. I didn't know there was coconut in it and I think that explains why I don't like it. It's mainly coconut. How can you not know?

Do you want to try it again? If you haven't tried it for a while? This is a coconut- Oh, that one. Okay, sorry. I thought we were talking about these ones. These are the caramel deli? Yeah.

Okay. And also these should be square. They're circle now. I think they've always been circle. I always heard of it being circle. All right. So what do you have one? Oh, you have one? Can you pass? Can you throw me a cookie? Oh. You just doing circle. All right, so what do you have one? Oh, you have one?

Can you pat? Can you throw me a cookie? Oh, you just throw me? Oh, here we go. Here we go. Yeah, I didn't work. I didn't. Camera, action and pungry.

Okay. Oh, this cookie is holding on by God's will. What the hell? Okay, here we go. It's good cookie. That's a, that's a for me. That's an? Okay, here we go. It's good cookie. That's it. That's it for me. That's an A, that's still good.

The consistency of these is really good. I like that they're not like, they don't crumble. It's chewy, it's more chewy. It's not back in there. See, I can understand between the coconut and also like the wacky texture that blizzes complain about, I understand why he doesn't like these.

That's a weird mouth fill. This is how, you know how good this cookie is. I hate shaved coconut and I love this cookie. I want to eat that entire box right now. I'm gonna like coconut and for some reason, whatever it is, maybe I got bitten by a nostalgia because I had these. I think it's a combination.

No, there's so many flavors in there that it doesn't just taste like a coconut cookie. It's like, it's a little overwhelming for me. I'll be honest. It's a lot of components working together, but it doesn't feel cohesive to me in my mouth. No, I get that. Yeah.

I'm putting that at a solid A. That's a solid A. I don't think it's S tier. No, I mean, but that's a solid A in my book. If I had to- If I make an enemy's right now. If I had to come back to it, and we only had however much, what are these $2 a piece? I think five.

No, five? What? Oh, sorry, I'm thinking like 90s money. I only had five bucks on me, and my girlfriend was like, I really want those. I'd be like, yeah, it's fine. What's the Pog exchange rate on these? I think these are like seven or eight bucks a box.

Yeah, what? I think it's five. Is it five? Is it five? I know. They were five when some people have sold them here. Well, folks, to get them on Amazon overnight, they are certainly not five dollars.

Mike, this is like kind of an idea. Was your daughter Girl Scout I'm assuming? No. OK. I was going to say how many? This is a. Inments. Crispy chocolate, wafers dipped in a mint chocolatey coating.

I have to read that real fast because Blaine kept reaching at me. Oh, it's going to be horrible. No, no, I'm sorry. This is interesting for me. So I've always felt that the mints were good, overrated though. Mm-hmm. And which is weird for me to say because mint chocolate is one of my favorite flavors of all time.

Like, mint chocolate ice cream is my favorite ice cream. I also think that's the devil. I'll be honest with you. I love the texture thinness. That crunchiness. It smells good. I think the texture is the weak point. I love it.

I think the crunch is good, but then once you get it in your mouth, it's almost like, it's too dry. Well, I think of it as like, it's like they, it's like pressed cookie. Like they took cookie crumbs and pressed it together. 100%. It's kind of like that brownie texture.

Brown and cookies. Because if you take the move is, you take a bite and then you dip it in milk and then all the milk wills. We're dealing with the cookie itself as it is. Yes. You're all not. You're right. No cookie modifications.

No freezing. No dunking. This is out of the box. No heating. Right. You're about it and you are driving home. I have a retcon to make. Okay.

I think I'm going to put the mce at a along with the peanut butter chocolate ones. And I'm going to put caramel delight at B. I think I like these better. Interesting. Okay. Yeah. Is anything going to crack S tier? What's the? I don't know if I have an S tier. This is S tier. I think they're all made. By the way, girls, girls of America, make the checkout to Rooster Teeth, and LLC, we're doing all this, the promotion records,

although we have dog, not a couple of them, quite hard. I just love mint chocolate. You know, chocolate. Yeah, it's like to me, I feel like we're idolizing sugar and toothpaste, just together right now. And like, it's not bad, it's not bad, it's not bad. I'm not gonna yuck your yums,

but- I mean, that right there does- It does, it does. Feel like, I love hygiene, don't give me wrong. It does feel like I am currently going through hygiene when I'm consuming it. It's like making my insides clean when it shouldn't be that clean.

I can see that. You know what, I'll give you that, I mean, I think that's an S be that clean. I can see that. You know what? I'll give you that. I mean, I think that's an S to your cookie. I love it, thin mint, especially frozen. But we're just judging it on this, the way it is. But I will give you that there is something about it that's like when the dentist is like,

what flavor do you want to clean your tea? And you go mint, they go perfect. Here is thin mint flavored. Yeah. I think I might have trauma, Andrew. I think you pin-pointing. Yeah. I think I hate them a little now because of what you just said.

Yeah. On change. Perfect. The perfect cookie. We got Toffee Tastic, which is their gluten-free cookie, I guess. Is this the last one? No, there's one more after that. Okay.

Rich buttery cookies with sweet, crunchy, toffee bits. I will not be eating that. I'm worried this will taste like... And this is you having the D tier. Okay. I am not a fan of toffee. Well, toffee's not my thing. This is a, this, this seems,

a grant, I'm, this is completely preconceived notion. This is a preconceived notion that this is a grandma-ass cookie. It, it smells faintly of toffee. Or cardboard. It's not, it's, it's, we have we have a call in coming. I didn't come in call. Oh is it Armando? Oh wait I'm not having that. Is that speaker? Hello caller you're on the air? How fucking dare you? You piece of shit. What what's wrong sir? You let this red

bad humor Please spare on your show to talk cookies and you won't even call me what because I'm a former employee Over these cookie tiered list that you you people clearly don't even know how to make. I believe legally we're not allowed to discuss ongoing litigation, sir. Okay. All right. But do you have to discuss beyond going lawsuit, but I will say it's absolutely atrocious. The fact that you have allowed this man to spit his bullshit as long as you've let him. Well, you're fighting against it there was a call that was in the chat and there was two options there was

blizz and me do you know who won that poll who won I didn't see that one okay well now I'm I feel bad because I thought you maybe no no I didn't see it. I really saw the cooking That's wow He is paying people I want you would be clear of being clear We also could hang up on him Frisk frame I do not do what is right. And it takes tears. Fucking freeze frame of it. Yeah, I guess we could just kind of, sorry. All right, thank you. No threats, no threats, no threats.

No threats, no. It's killing you. It's killing you. You're hurting your case, the runner. All right, we lost that one, sorry. Oh, no. What happened, man? Our call dropped.

Oh, man. Here's the thing. I'm team Armando, but that was one of the most manic calls I've ever done. She thought, man, it's like, I'm right here while Andrew's a thing. I'm team Armando, but that was one of the most manic calls I've ever I'm right here while Andrew's saying it like I'm not here. He said a lot of rat bastard. Yeah These are very weird textured Without question the worst Honestly the flavor itself is actually not bad. It's the texture is very awesome.

Is there something below D? Like, I took one bite of that and absolutely hooped it into that trash can. While Armando was threatening Gus' life, I proceeded to spit that entire cookie out. And it came out in like big meteor chunks. I know what you guys are trying. It's not bad.

It tastes bad to me. And I think the texture is all of the bad things that you don't like about the caramel delights Like it's like weird sticky bullshit, but not like good though. Yeah, Barbara seems to like it. It's not bad Oh, man. What do you rank it then? I probably put it like a sear D Like it's not bad, but you just ranked it like the lowest Yeah, I mean, it's it's not better than I think like the brownie cookies But it's not as horrible as these guys are making rice flour tapioca starch sugar and lies. This is I

Think that is hands down my favorite. Yeah, there's like butter milk in there though, which is nice That's my bottom most bottom rank. Yeah, there's something below D I would man that get just. It's called E. Oh yeah, so. It is also gluten free and sometimes it's hard to make a gluten free cookie too. I think it's good.

So I understand the intent with that, but I feel like they got to do like what Chipotle did and then they go back to the drawing board and bring out the V2 or the KSO. Like they got to do that with those. Yeah, I think these might be my favorite. These are our last cookie. the Treff oil's iconic shortbread cookies inspired by the original Girl Scout recipe.

I just want to point out. I'm going to see Hunter Melcom at Shortbread. We've done video production here for a while. And the box cover is, I guess, like some Girl Scouts filming video. What angle does that camera person capturing of this interview? What they're looking right into the oh god. Yeah, no, it's terrible. They're like turned around Get a closer to that. This this child is addressing the allegations

Look at that fucking press conference as like this press conference is over I will that my promise to turn the gym into a swimming pool and have pizza parties will go as planned. Yeah, if we were filming the podcast, like how these girls are shooting this box of koo, we would all look like like this. Yeah, you've seen like a three quarter back of it. Hey, can't to dangles.

Yeah, that. Okay, open that cookie up. Open that bad boy up. I think I'm a short bread is what I'm at. Notidangles. Yeah, that, that, that. Okay, well that being said. Open that cookie up. Open that bad boy up. I think I may, I, shortbread is what I meant. Not buttermilk. I'm saying buttermilk, this entire podcast. I think people know what this is.

We'll know what you meant. Cause I think there's like, yeah, I think, honestly, I might even call it a buttermilk cookie. It's good. Shortbread is one of my favorite cookie types of all time. I think that's why I like the gluten-free one because it had a buttermilk kind of flavor too. Very, very, very, very, the, the, the Scottish shortbread cookie.

I will say imagine it with a chocolate bottom and that is basically. It's a good, that would be better. Yeah. I feel like, oh hell yeah. I thought this cookie would be way rrier. Uh, but it's not. You know what I'm saying? This is my ass care.

This is, yeah. This is a, maybe a B. I'd give it a, an A or a B. You know what it's giving? Hmm. Fill away first. Hmm. This is, yeah. This is a, maybe a B. I'd give it an A or a B. You know what it's giving? Fill away first. I'm telling you, people want to dog this for being like a dry cookie, but I'm telling you, man,

it's the butter. It's the amount of butter that's in this cookie or butter flavoring. It saves it. It really does send in for it. And I don't think it's a dry ass cookie. I might honestly, I put this, I put this in, then it's like neck and neck.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, these might be this and but again, I'm never had the thanks a lot. I just know about them. I love I love by your milk. Sharkin. You got you got any more than caramel delights over there? Yeah, dog. Put me up here. Don't that.

I'd say that that was like an A or a B. Yeah, it's like, and that's the original, the tree falls is like the original girl's got cookie. Good. So good reason. We agree with you more than I thought we would. And I think we've come to some understanding here. Everyone's villainizing me because, you know, I'm the only one speaking the truth on the R.T.

You know, platform, Mondo's out here lying to people trying to get vote paying off the viewers. You're kidding me paying off the viewers. I'm gonna speak my truth. This is the truth and we all need to wake up. Wake up. Here's what I'll say too. This is... Oh, they want 20, but I want some cookies in the controller room. Oh, controller room is officially requested. Oh, okay, good. Feet are entered. This is a little bit, and we wanted to do,

wanted to do a side by side comparison and ranking, but the fact of the matter is, not all the cookies that are on Blizzard list, we have. So we can't do like a true like one flint or one. I can't get a total debunking. Two of these lemon cookies aren't even on this. Only we don't even have. The, the s'more cookies.

That looks, yeah. The s'mores. They changed that too. Now it looks different. And that chocolate chip one's not there. I have had that s'more cookie. That may be my S tier. This is my S tier.

That might be my S tier. The original, the original formula. Yeah, the new s'more cookie is, it's pretty good. I'm getting some shipped from Maryland to me because that's how serious I am about getting it. Oh Jesus That would be my S tier. Oh, can I have like half a bite of that? Yeah, sorry. I ordered two boxes. Okay. All right great So yeah, we don't have the the we have the dosy-dos. We have the dosy-dos the peanut butter is Yeah, I

I'm I move at least two from D tier up to a and I move at least two from D tier up to A and move a couple at move the the three fours from A maybe up to S with thin man and honestly a lot of the middle is kind of staying the middle for yeah it even like moves up or down a little bit but it's what's mid is mid what's mid is mid yeah What is mid may never rise. But you know, if we're gonna stat now now, now here's the real question. No, no, no, oh, you're personal ranking. Now here's a question that, you know, another, another fighter has entered the ring. How would you stack these up against the peppered farm the pepper farm lineup of cookies? You're

talking Milano's the Milano's the Sol Solitos the Milano's are a solid fighter man. That's like a that's like a ATR right there with a little chocolate ribbon running through it damn Where would you place a Oreo amongst these? I How did you place a Oreo amongst these? I am not a fan of Oreos that much. They would be like a B E plus for me. Golden Oreos are a little bit higher, golden thin Oreos. A little bit higher.

Regular thin Oreos are like S tier for me. Yeah, and we need to address something very, very serious. Double stuff Oreos are just stuff Oreos. They have, talk about inflation affecting like your cookie quantity and quality. Double stuff Oreos are just regular Oreos. Like they, and regular Oreos are now basically thin. Like they have really leaned up that double stuff,

but they throw in that turn around real quick. You sound like a father right now. Yeah. He doesn't know, he doesn't know, they could be out there. I mean, exactly, who's to say? double stuff, but they throw a match around real like a father right now. He doesn't know he doesn't know they could be out there. I mean exactly. Yeah, who's to say? This is my official ranking. Okay.

I'm looking at let's get the one. You guys could adjust yours. However, you see fit. But we got trade full. We got peanut butter patties, thin mints, caramel delights, dosi doze the lemon ones, toffee tastic, adventure fles. Now, you really hate those adventure fles.

I did not like them. All I'd have to do is just, sorry, go ahead. No, no, I'm done. I was just, yeah, all I'd have to do is swap these guys down here and then maybe do like a flip over here and then that's it for me. Yeah, I think I would. Where we go?

Okay, bring, bring, uh, thin mments and tray foils next to each other. I'm going to call those the same. I'm going to put those in the same. Put the thinments slightly above. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And then move the caramel delights above the pepper, or above the peanut butter ones.

Okay. And then go ahead, take those lemon ones and throw them off the table. And doing, yeah, I know, yeah, exactly. No, move that to the very end. I actually like the brownie ones more than the gluten free ones. Those, I mean, I know I'm one's more than the brownie. I wouldn't use, I wouldn't use these as a door stop. I'm like those are yikes. But yeah, that's, that is my ranking as a for the ones that we have I would move These guys down to there No, not to the very very and I'd still stick it out over the gluten-free and I'd be my ranking right there

Okay, so you guys have very almost identical rankings very similar. Yeah, plain and Andrew. Yeah Gus these too white man. Oh, this here. Oh, my God. You said, let me move a couple of things. Everything. Everything changed place. Except the gluten free. Except the, the, I would, by the way, I'm happy with that. I was, I was dead on about that. Tell me that's not a grandma cookie. The like, oh for sure. This one, whatever it's called, the talking time.

I am a grandma. You know, after all. Maybe that's why I liked it. But it was still pretty low for you. Pretty low. Yeah, there we go. It's like, you go over and it's like, let's get you something sweet.

And it's like, you have a choice between a dishful of mince, those like chalky ass hanks. And then a cookie that's like World War Two, surplus cookie. And it's just like, came with the rations or whatever. Yeah, exactly. Oh, that's, this box says, save scrap iron. What? That cookie does taste like it's from post depression,

World War Two area. Yeah. It's like getting a box. No, no, great depression. Yeah. Oh. Oh. So get a box of these and some neck away for us, just like before like sweetness was invented. Just like, yeah.

So can you endorse my less or man just like to support? Absolutely. No, just because you and I diametrically disagree on my top cookie and your bottom cookie there. Okay, but hear me out. My birthday was yesterday. He is a good, you can hear it, you can hear it, you can hear it. You want him to compromise his ethics and values as a birthday present?

I feel like your ranking's not bad. Thank you. The bliss girl's got cookie ranking is Gus endorsed. Oh, I wouldn't go that far. Oh, wow. It was his birthday. It was his birthday. He got me. He got me.

He got me. What's that? Oh, Blaine also endorses it. No. As an ally. No. Where he wished that it to be a lot of camera was off him momentarily.

As an ally, he would. Do not endorse. Not endorse. Mm. Because I cannot give my endorsement because literally like the bottom and the top of the list is almost flipped. Yeah. Like the middle kind of stays the same, but I'm moving like,

I'm moving a couple of those bottom ones, heek, right, back to the top. I'm just trying to think of what Blizz and I can come to peace on. Outside of like gay rights, OVY, but like ranking wise, like Star Wars? It can't be, because you hate women, so like I just, I love women. I got one at home.

Hosteried mind. I got one at home. History month. I want it home. Oh my God. Oh man. Playing real fast in leaves with lobbying accusations. Why is the broadcast team getting up and leaving guys? They're shutting off our microphone. And there's like a bunch of spinning chairs in here.

People just left. Josh circles. Oh, mind is calling me a rat bastard now and chat. Oh no. Everyone's got there's like a bunch of spinning chairs in here. Just left Mind is calling me a rat bastard now and chat. Oh, no, it was his birthday Cuz you endorsed it. Yeah. Oh man. I mean we can all agree cookies are good. Yeah cookies are Cookies and delicious cookies. Yeah, like I said before this started in a way we're all winners because we all got some delicious cookies Thank you except that one Thank the one at the end. Thank you, Blizz for the controversy. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you, Andrew, for having the foresight to bring cookies.

Of course, I wanted to put our money with our mouth and try these cookies. And I want to get the other ones that are on this list. Well, I'll track them down somehow. And we might do a follow-up, a follow-up, companion piece once we have literally all the cookies that are up there. Because there's at least four that we might do a follow up a follow up companion piece once we have like literally all the cookies that are up there because there's like at least four that we I have we we can't even put up against each other. Well, cookie a dendom. We a cookie a dendom yes the cookie annex. All right, I

think I don't know if you need to get out of here. Yeah, I'm gonna go to here. I'm just gonna say that was my last thing or Mondo each ship. Which would be in your opinion, a thin mint. What is that like a deep here? No, he'd break that as nest here. Well, but shit to blizz, it's great to everyone else. So it's like, eat a thin mint. He has no joke. We know he has no reasonings and one joke.

Blizz bad. I love Armando's. Armando's been adopted like Trump. And so it's like, it's very sad. It's sad. It was bad.

It's a brand new channel. We just launched this week. A bunch of women-led content coming out on the channel, including always open, which is the first episode of out. Premier today for first members tomorrow on the channel, youtube.com slash at all good no worries. New content every single week, every Tuesday is always open, every Thursday is a new show. This week it's gonna be Let's Blend,

which is a kind of like Actors on Actors, but with makeup show that Elise is producing. It's wonderful. Elise and I do our makeup together and talk about how we are face twins the whole time. So she's just copying my makeup the entire episode episode and I didn't realize until the very end. So really fun content. Next week is going to be a Charlotte Avery production called Please Be Nice To Me, which is a game show about cutthroat kindness. And then the following Thursday will be a Lindsay

Washburn show called How Hard Could It Be, which is like a DIY kind of like literally anything from crafting to building to cooking very fun show. And then the fourth Thursday of the month is Kozy Couch, which is like a cozy nostalgic video games that kind BK are gonna be doing. So just like really good vibes, really fun shows, super good team. There's a good vibes. And the first episode of Always Open,

you have a guest, a very timely guest. We do. Troy Baker is on our premiere, where he talks about the last of us. He was the episode he was in. Last night, just the last time. Yeah, just aired this and you won this week. It's so fun.

It worked out really well because he knew how he's open was coming back. And he was like, like when's your premiere and it's like March 7th is when the the public release is gonna be And he was like oh my episode of the Lasavas comes out the fifth maybe I'll come beyond your premiere and I'm like Yes As if you need us to like promote your show because it's like Just so funny blowing up righting up everywhere. Yeah. Lots of us is so good. So yeah, he talks about his experience obviously being part of the game, being part of

the show. Very fun little peak behind the curtain there. But we also talk about just all kinds of stuff like new beginnings and what nots. Always open kind of went away for a while and starting back up again and a lot has changed but essentially the same show. Yeah, I'm just really excited. It's weird to be back doing again. I'm just so happy.

It's great. I'm very excited. Yeah, because I always love being a guest. I'm just always open because it's a fun. It's a fun show to talk about. Talk about real shit. You know what I mean? It's all fun and games, but occasionally you want to get a little bit deeper and talk

relationships and life and things that are, you know, maybe a little bit closer to the vests or whatever from the shenanigans that are on this kind of show. But it was always really nice to be a guest on that show. So it's back. It's a lot of fun. It's always been a bunch of laughs and stuff like that, but also I feel like that's the one show that I could be a lot more vulnerable. And it's a very good venue for us to open up and feel like I've told been like a bunch of laughs and stuff like that, but also I feel like that's the one show that I could be a lot more vulnerable. And like it's a very good venue for us,

just like open up and feel like I've told my like deepest parts of myself on that show. So I'm back. Well, we also just recorded them, so do you too, Glenn? I don't know if I was allowed to say anything, but yeah. Yeah. I felt like really nostalgic being back.

It was just such a good feeling. And you guys were like paying a close attention to it. Everything from just like what table we were gonna use for the recording? And like trying that on, like, oh, this works fucking great, like great episode, it was a lot of fun. Thank you, yeah, we, so the first two episodes,

we basically batch recorded a bunch just to try to get ahead of the game since there is a lot going on at Reach Your Teeth. It's nice to get ahead on productions, but the first two episodes of the show, we didn't have like some of our set pieces in yet. So the first two episodes look a little different than the rest. Moving forward, just in case you care about that.

It happens. Yeah, it happens with production. The freeze and the storm that happened here, Austin, delayed shipping on some of the stuff, including like this beautiful canvas print of the logo that you'll see in episode three. Yeah. And onward from there. But yeah, the entire production team

did an incredible job setting it up. Ashmit did our set design and it looks beautiful. Wonderful, you know, crew here in broadcast, our producers, everyone who worked on it. Josie did the motion graphics, our design team, who did all the logos and everything like that. Just wonderful, wonderful people. I feel like you've been working on it for a long time, getting it ready to launch.

It's crazy that it's finally here. It's finally out there. I feel like it's been maybe almost not a full year, but like maybe eight months. I've been working on it. Yeah, it seems like a long time. So it's been a, it's been a while. I know you have merch in the start to now, including hoodies, t-shirts, stickers, all sorts of cute, adorable, wonderful things.

It's also cool too, because I feel like since the last time we did always open, you know, it was like a lot of the cast that's here now, was in around or they were more behind the camera stuff, so like being able to bring in our like newer faces into an old familiar format. It's like a lot of fun. Yeah, we had Joe on an episode. We had BK and Kai on one, Griff did one, and she was in sales when we had always open airing before, so she'd never been on an episode. So yeah, a lot of new faces, new voices.

Tons of guests that we have in the works as well to come on the show. Mariel is, of course, going to make appearances whenever she can. She doesn't work at Rishi's anymore, but she wants to be on whenever she's available and you better believe I'm gonna take advantage of that. Yeah.

So do yourself a favor and go follow, right here, go youtube.com slash all good no worries. Subscribe. Like and subscribe, all that stuff. Yay. Thank you guys. Of course. For helping me promote that.

Yeah, absolutely. I'm excited you had Troy Baker Baker on the first episode because yeah, sorry. I like just watched the episode from last night. You think I'm sick with Pedro Pascal. He's like, oh, that's how you do it? Just like doing that real passive aggressive stuff like after Ted going huh? How I would do it. Interesting. That's we doing? Interesting. Yeah. That's how I did it in the hit multi-million-selling game, the last of us. Oh, that this is based on, right?

It's crazy. It's just so wild. No, he was great. He's incredible. Yeah. It was weird seeing him play such an evil guy. I'm not used to it. Yeah.

So one of the things, so you know, back when we were in core and we were in like the bungalows over there, Troy would come in, like he would just like stop by if he was in town. Yeah. You brought him in one time, and I had never met him before, and we just started talking about like music software. And one thing, instantly, when you meet Troy Baker, if you get the pleasure of meeting Troy Baker,

he is what I call a full body listener. Yes. 100%. It is, it is one of like the rarest characteristics in human being, which is what I call a full body listener. Yes. 100%. It is one of the rarest characteristics in human being, which is like when you talk to him, he is completely focused on you and what you're talking about. Yeah, just a full body listener. And I like, first time meeting, just instantly engaged with what I was like some music software I was talking about when we were talking about this, like, Pianos offer is, you should

try this out. And it's just like, is it possible for someone to have so much charisma? Like, good God, what a gem. It was very sweet, but yeah, a full body listener. It's a rare human trait that he absolutely has and just was delicious. He has such a presence that's like undeniable.

It's so funny, we were recording a different episode. It was weird, we had to record episode two before episode one on the same day, just face off scheduling. And so while we're recording episode two, I was like, I think Troy's here, I get sense it. I'm so excited. And then sure, nothing door opens and Troy walks in

and I'm just like, I knew it. I'm just, I knew it. I'm just, I knew it. I knew it. We had him on a good morning from hell back and we were doing that and he played the Joker and we were all like, we love to do and then like shows like yeah, it will be fine I trust you okay, and he did like his Joker and it was fucking awesome. Yeah

One of the nicest people to ever exist Great dude, but yeah, we were blessed to have him on the premiere Yeah, what great timing with the show and everything lined up. What do you think of the episode? It was really good. It was really good. It was really good. I'm sad that there's only one episode left. I feel like. Is there really?

Yeah, there's so much to wrap up, I feel like. I mean, Well, they're gonna do a season two. Sure. But this season is the first game. Oh, right. Right. Is that how they're breaking it out?

It really is. There's like season two. I think so because based on some of like the trailers and the teaser images, I'm like, I think that's from the end of the first game. I don't know that for a fact, but like, I've seen a couple like quick shots. I'm like, I think that's the end of the game.

Interesting. Wow. Yeah. I've we've been purposely avoiding the teaser stuff because I don't want Kristen to know. And I also don't want to like have to remember. Like I like this hazy memory that I have and then seeing the adaptation being like,

oh, I love how they did that. I don't like the direct comparison but got really one episode of it. One episode left. We also talk about how, people obviously talk about Petro Pascal being incredible which he is but fellow Ramsey, they are fucking phenomenal.

Yeah. I had no, they are fucking phenomenal. I had no idea they were that amazing. Great performance. I think everyone remembered their role from Game of Thrones very fondly. Not that it was a huge role, but it was just very memorable. That's where you recognize them from. Right.

They were the talk of the episode each time they were in. Right, the show. But I felt like that character didn't necessarily have a lot of meat to it. Like a couple of lines and you know some screen time but like the last of us is very front center and the way that Ellie was approached I think is different from the approach of Ellie of the game. But also in a very good way. Like I'm not like oh I wish that this character was played differently. It makes sense to the way that the story feels.

Right, yeah, I'm very, very blown away by the performance. Absolutely, absolutely. Absolutely. Early on, I think I talked about this too. I was like kind of like, Pedro Pascal, Joel, yes, that makes sense to me. Elie, there was like something different enough

and I think she was also, they were like displaying a lot of her like, immaturity and she was like, dropping a lot of f-boms and stuff like that, and me like edging and stuff like that. But then like the more we've grown to know her and then the more she softened up to Joel and stuff like that like I yeah they're so great. The casting for the show is fucking good dynamic has been wonderful. Yeah it's been good. So one episode left and then who knows how long we have to wait for another season. I know, geez. I mean, like, gosh, it really,

it waiting, waiting years between seasons is rough. And you forget, like, I just saw the other day, I think before an episode of last of us last week, there was a promo and it was like, Perry Mason, season two, March six. Holy fuck, it was the last one. I was like, oh, I thought it was canceled. Right, it's been so fun. I remember, I was like, I watched last one. I was like, oh, I thought it was canceled. Right, it's been so fun.

I remember, I was like, I watched season one. I really liked it. What the fuck was that show about? Perry Mason, running field. And I was like, I don't remember anything about it. I think that came out at the start of the pandemic. Yeah, it did. Yes, it did.

And I want to say, brav fucking O to HBO for doing appointment weekly viewing and not doing bingeable stuff anymore. That's the reason stuff fades from your memory. It's the reason stuff fucking disappears in your consciousness is because when you watch an entire season of TV and over a weekend, it just has the chance to immediately evaporate

in your brain. When it's week to week, when you get a point when you're doing week to week, you get a chance to talk about it with people at work. We're good When it's weak to weak, when you get a point when you're weak to weak, you get a chance to talk about it with people at work. I couldn't have friends and you get to like, it's like, like, you get to reinforce, reinforce your memories of the show

and have like a nuanced discussion and opinions about it which gives it culture or purchase. So that way it stays in your brain longer and becomes more of a part of like your entertainment life than just like something you just, maybe that's quite a remember anything about season one because we were all blocked at home. more of a part of like your entertainment life than just like something you just maybe maybe I don't remember anything about season one because we were all blocked at home. I just looked it was June 2020. Holy yeah. When season one came out so it's like oh I was I was peak. Yeah I was

like in my house not going anywhere doing anything. That's pre-vaccine even right. You're nowhere. Do you guys ever get nostalgic for that period of time? I know it sounds weird. Wait, I know what you're saying. You know what I'm saying? It was around, I wanna say April, May, June, that little chunk of time where people are playing animal crossing, Tiger King was on.

Everyone felt a little bit like life had slowed down a little bit, but not in a way where it's like, you can't leave your house, you can't do anything, you're stuck, you're trapped, but more of like, everyone's at home, there's a little bit, but not in a way where it's like, you can't leave your house, you can't do anything, you're stuck, you're trapped, but more of like, everyone's at home, you know, there's a little bit less pressure on people, a little more like time to spend with a work-life balance. There's also the lives like the unknown of the situation

was kind of like scary, but also like the timeline was still so vague, so you didn't think that this was gonna be a permanent fixture for a year, year and a half. I think like once we got into like summer like July, August. You realize, oh this is like, oh shit, this actually sucks. Yeah, it's because FOMO disappeared. Yeah. It's because there was no more.

There was no mo. There was no mo. No mo. No mo. Yeah. No missing out because no one was doing anything. Like it really was, I think that, I think that was a huge. Without the mo.

There's no mo. Very sign fell. Very sign fell very sign fell that's bit You can't mo snowful snow mo. Yeah, like we all have that sense of like There was nothing to miss out on and so we could just like B and it's like there was no like Oblig the obligation meter got turned away. I mean almost to like nothing. And so you could just be like, oh, the social expectation was gone

and societal expectation was gone to like, again, those obligations in your life. And I think that like that part of it, there is something very attractive about that. It gives you a taste of pioneer little pine. Oh, no, no. Because you were like, and there was like, that was like the crafty period.

Where it's like, I'm learning to bake bread. I had to make a gym and figure out my workout routine with just what I was given. And at Suck, I missed the gym, but I was also making really creative workouts and kind of having fun on the roof of my garage. It's a really weird, unique experience. I totally get what you're saying. I, it's, it's definitely like obviously the pandemic and everything with COVID has been utter shit and absolutely terrible. Yes. And all the tragedy that has come from it is devastating, but it's like

the moment in time, just specifically that moment of like the pressures off. It's like that serotonin boost of when plans get canceled. Like your whole three months. Yeah, no for sure. And I think like, yeah, again, all the awfulness of everything aside, just talking about like, you know, on a personal level, there was just like,

there was a, exactly, it was the crafting period. It was like, you are going to have to figure out your thing for you and your household, like in a very microcosmic way. And like, that is, it really is. It really is just kind of like, you felt like it's like, okay, we reinforced the window. Like, and one of those like survival games or whatever.

Yeah. It's funny you talk, we reinforced the window. Like, and one of those like survival games or whatever. Yeah. And it like, it's funny you talk about all this because I, this past weekend, I was, I went to the grocery store. And as I was walking in, I had a memory of that time. And I was like, wow, remember when I would wake up like at dawn and come to the grocery store right when they opened and there was a line of people and you would go into the grocery store and everything was gone? Well, that was like go into the grocery store and everything was gone.

Well, that was like right at the start. Right, I was like at mid-March. I had forgotten about that. My memory that I hit media the day really hard and it was like the day or two before, we were still filming stuff, we were like stacking up on shit and we were doing the mega nugge

where we were going to all the fast food restaurants, getting chicken nuggets to then combine them. You mean the mega bug? Whichever it was. Me and John were... One that Chris texted Eric and he's like, you wanna come try a mega bug? Mega bug.

Class of Chris. John and I went to the Wendy's that was by the HB Hancock. And I remember we headed to go get like, canola oil or something. We walked in and like, people were panic buying. And John and I were looking around like, this is before like the idea of us going to lockdown

and we're like, what's going on? This is crazy. This is weird. Little did we know. Yeah, there was that period of time. We like banked up a bunch of content knowing that like, we were about to start working from home. And like people at Rishi's already did start working from home.

And it's like, well, the content teams will still will do like skeleton careers and do some podcasts and records and stuff. We recorded like a bunch of stuff with a big like a tent thing. What's it called? The parachute? Oh shit, I can remember that. Yeah, yeah, someone sent that into us.

Someone sent us a parachute for RT inbox and we filmed like a bunch of different videos with it thinking like, oh, this is fun. This will get us through a couple weeks. I wrestle. Yeah, it's a couple weeks in contact while we've waited at home for a month or two for this to pass. And then three years later, the peak of elementary school physical fitness, flapping a parachute. Yeah, where you go up and then you put it underneath and you sit inside.

Yeah, exactly. Tossing some foam balls on it and like passing around like, I'll do that for an hour while the teacher goes for a smoke on the gym. I want to acknowledge though what a place of privilege we are coming from because RT did such a great job of handling the pandemic for its employees. We held on to our jobs a lot. That was probably a very shit time for a lot of people,

but yeah, I know I get where you're coming from. It's like a weird nostalgia for some, it's the same thing I get whenever I think about the snow store. Oh my God. In the moment I was fucking scared. You had no power for like a week. Yeah, but I was like, I was like making fucking

like whatever I could with the canned food in my house and like was like trudging around the snout with my dog to go deliver chargeables to friends who had electricity. Like, went to Gus's to go get a water tea. Yeah, I was just like, this sucks, but this is kind of awesome. Dutch is looking at you and you turn into a turkey leg. Yeah.

There's real Mr. Burns and Homer in the log cabin interview. Yeah, exactly. It was me and my dog in my closet sleeping together on a mattress pad just being like, ah, fuck, I hope we may get through this. Yeah. It kind of like makes you think, I know like people have heard this before,

but how you always think you're, like you always think about the good old times, but you never realize when you're in the good old times. And like you never really acknowledge that. And it's the same thing with like happiness thinking like if I achieve this, I'll be happy. Or if I get here, I'll be happy. I'll get to this date, I'll be happy. Whatever it is.

Or it's like you never recognize that you want to feel happy in this moment. Oh, yeah. And so that thing of thinking I'll be happy when this happens, it keeps getting pushed out because you do get to that target date And you don't really realize and let it sink in that I feel happy right now Yeah, and I think doing that more and being conscious of just being grateful and happy when you can like lean into the moment Yeah, I enjoy it. The only thing that exists is right now truly like the ever-receding horizon of happiness will always do that. So like, there's like this thing, it's like if I achieve this, if I do this, if I get to this place, if it's something that's like out of reach in the future, that it is a way to like keep pushing off,

pushing off happiness. And I think that for a lot of people, that turns into like, that can mutate into ambition or some kind of drive that keeps you going, but I feel like that's a maladaptive. It is. It keeps you out of enjoying things. Right. Like, why can't you ever join things that you get

in the moment so that it turns to ash in your mouth? So you're just like, I've achieved this. And what cost? At what cost? But then what's next? Then what's, and then you're ash in your mouth. So you're just like, I've achieved this. And what cost? But what cost? And then what's next? Then what's, and then you're always in the moment. I always think about what's next. And that's the thing too, it's the only thing

that ever exists is your present moment. Yeah. Because like you get to that spot and now you're in that present moment of that and keep thinking, I will be happy eventually when this happens. Or if I achieve this, which I'm not saying you shouldn't be ambitious and you shouldn't want to. Of course. What you want to achieve and whatnot, but like...

Live your dreams. I lie yourself. But if I wish we weren't constantly surrounded by like all the like billionaires that we are now forced to look at constantly in their lives, I wish we weren't surrounded by cautionary tales in every fucking sector of public life. That like, if Elon Musk were not a perfect example of like the curse of getting you everything you always wanted and it just being like I miserable like you just like everything. It's a real monkey pa scenario.

Like the most monkey pa situation you could possibly imagine being the rich and well-formally richest man owner. Getting all of like being surrounded by yes people, people who like the sick offense, the yes men, all this money, all this wealth, buying Twitter to become King mod, which was like, I can't believe you thought that was gonna be the thing that made people like you. It just, again, like all these, all this achievement, all this, uh, accumulation of stuff just turns to ash in your mouth.

Like it just, uh, to, to, for what? Like you, you can, you can look at a person who is clearly miserable and clearly just weighed by all the, the accumulation that, that, that they have achieved. There was a article where I read earlier it was on CNBC or somewhere that said that whenever at Twitter headquarters he always walks around with two bodyguards now even when going to the bathroom because he's afraid of hostile takeovers. I was like I don't think that's how hostile take oh he's afraid of a coup. That's what it was. Oh my god. The late by mean the whack is shit on earth

What a competent leader that he needs to travel around his own company with bodyguards? What's that means he's doing great. Yeah, that are the cool to my god What a like brittle-bone programmer is gonna be like come on We're taking this place over I sleep in a sleeping bag at my desk for, for fucking 20 hours a day. Oh, God, yeah. That's just unbelievably ridiculous. I'm so dumb.

He needs to reevaluate the snack options in the Twitter cafeteria, because we can't have them having two in calories. All right, just enough energy that they can program, but not enough that they can beat me up. Right, bring in that orphan grade gruel for these workers. I also, I'll never understand people who go out of their way

to defend people like Elon Musk. Like, why are you defending a billionaire? He's not going to give you any money, no matter how much you want him to, or how much you defend him. He's also a billionaire. He doesn't fight for a good cause. I don't know for a good cause.

I don't know. Right, exactly. But I think it kind of is reflective of what you were just talking about of this, like projecting your aspirations and your putting off your happiness. I think it's sort of related to that where people, maladaptively, maladaptively project their hopes and dreams and success

and wish fulfillment on someone else. And so it is a function of when if you're attacking him, you're attacking me because he represents this pinnacle of success or whatever whatever because again, I feel like it's a form of projection that people don't recognize because it's like, yeah, man, doesn't need. I just don't think billionaire should exist.

I think that is a level of wealth. Hot take. Are they D tier? I just think that level of wealth, no human being needs that level of wealth. You'd never see me again. You'd never hear from me. But also just like, fuck,

dude, there are such inequality in the world, especially the wealth gap is like astronomical. It's just like, I don't know. It's just crazy to think about. It's all our money. So, if any billionaires out there, and I know you're watching, billionaires out there would like to unload

some of their burden on a humble Rupertie Thinploy, make a check out to Andrew Roses, and I will happily, you know, read you of that, but some of that part. Or maybe use like one or two of those billions too, I don't know. Fix World Hunger. Or like something like.

Plants and trees, do we need a nice carbon sink? That's what I don't understand. It's like, man, if I had that money, if I had that much money, planting trees, doing like philanthropic stuff to like legitimately save the planet, they would write songs about you. Isn't that the new thing? That's the new thing, though,

is because the Patagonia CEO or owner gave up his wealth or whatever. And then the hobby lobby guy followed suit, but then they peeled it back and they're like, wait, this is actually a fucking scam, it's a PR stunt. Yes. And then I remember Bezos was in the headlines

not too long ago, because he was saying he was gonna do the same thing. He's like, oh, he's gonna donate all his billions to this thing, but there was no follow through, but you get that immediate, like, hey. You get the headline. Amazon's not so bad, I think I might make a purchase because I don't mind supporting that.

I think to go at the start. Charities, foundations, private, all of that stuff is reputation-washing. It's reputation-ering for like, it's a money funnel to administrative people. Like, very rarely does that actually translate into. Make any difference. Yeah. Yeah.

To demonstrative change. And yeah, that was, that was something that really bummed me out was the Patagonia guy. It was like, oh, giving away all of this one. It was like, well, that sounds good, but then they peeled it back. And it's like, well, they've kind of been dodging taxes, which are like designed to help people on it directly help directly help people and like build infrastructure and

do this for years. So it's like, there's an old analogy that I read on the podcast a few years ago. So it's the names on the on this ranking or a little out of date. This was from September of 2019. so pre-panny. Pre-panny. Oh boy. It's the staircase analogy, where if you imagine a staircase and every step on the staircase represents $100,000 of net worth. Yes. Half of Americans would be on the first step. The top 20% would be on step five. Millionaires get up to step 11. Billionaires, step 10,000. Oh, fuck Jeff Bezos is 133 miles in the sky. Dude, that's what I'm saying. That amount of money should not one person should not have that amount of wealth.

It's fucking why. When you look at the gap that exists. Look again, the names of change of amounts have the values of change but still like to think about like, oh, in space. There's that whole thing too, where like, they did a breakdown of, like, peasants from back in the medieval times in like, the lords of the land and shit like that. And like, the wage cap is like, smaller than it is now.

Like, like, like, literal peasants and kings were closer and wealth than we are today to like a Elon Musk. 1000%, yeah. Which I think is pretty cool. I, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, kook, kook, kook, kook, kook, kook, kook, kook, yeah. Nice, nice, nice, we love it.

We love to see it. Go, God, yeah. I guess what Blaine is trying to say is bring back feudalism. I think that's what we can definitely take. I just wanna be nice. I can use a little more toiling in my life. I was like, I mean, I've been meaning to spend more time

in a filthy ditch. I've been in mud-covered rags. I got closer in the pandemic. During the height of the pandemic, I felt like I was almost there. Need some more toil. Let's. I need some more toil. Let's. I need some more trouble.

Toil and trouble. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds good. Toil and trouble. So we were talking about the last episode from last night. And I don't know if any of you guys watched last week tonight as well. There's like right after it.

Oh, yeah. I don't watch it live, but I do watch it. Why is it uploaded the next day? The end of that episode was all about a local Austin plumbing company, radiant plumbing, and their wacky commercials. I don't know if you've ever seen them. Yeah. They do like movie parody commercials.

I used to send you that screenshot of the dude holding the wrench, like the knife from Dune. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess like the whole last six minutes of that episode were him showing radiant plumbing commercials and talking about how wild all the commercials are and then like issuing them a challenge to make a commercial for a movie he was going to tell them

that they would make $10,000 to the Central Texas Food Bank. So Ray, you've got his unblast right now. Well, so what's funny is like they're, you know, they're playing the commercials, you can hear the studio audience reacting to it, and it's like, these people have never seen these commercials. So it's like something weird happens, and they all laugh, and I'm like,

yeah, that commercial's like two years old. Yeah, I know that commercial already. But it was weird. I guess seeing people who had never seen any of these commercials reacting to them for the first time. It's like whenever I have someone from an out of town, and we're like listening to radio,

we're driving somewhere and then like a like elder Mitsubishi where he comes on and I don't know about you guys but Scott Elder every time I hear his voice. For the people. On, yep, and every time he hears fucking voice, I like punch my radio, switch stations as quickly as possible. Scott Elder, for folks that are out of town,

they're like, oh, that's quirky and silly. Oh, what an awesome thing. I'm like, if you got five, you can they're like, oh, that's quirky and silly. Oh, what an Austin thing. I'm like, if you got five, you can drive. Come in to like, he's got that one. He sounds really unmotivated, but he's still trying to put on an exciting one. Cause I think, oh, here we go. We're, wait, something's up.

Hold on. What is this? Oh, that's the, the Dune commercial from Radiant Plumbing. Radiant Plumbing. Oh gosh. That's G-S-E. G-S-E.

We might get a copyright strike. They do have this on it. I sent that to Blaine all the time. Yeah, that's so funny. Clever. This fucking rocks. That's it. They must have had a decent budget or a really good

special effects. They had a RTF student from the T's with a head. I wanna, I wanna, sorry, I wanna clear something ever really quick. I just a few minutes ago I said, don't give money to charities. I'm talking about ones that are like named after Billionet. Like ones that are like, it's like the Bill and the Linda Gates Foundation.

Oh no, oh shit, they're gonna come after me. I mean, it is a little different when you can walk over to the hospital across the street that we built that garden for. And like, oh yeah, I can see my money at work here. Not, not it just got like, gets thrown into the fucking void. And you're like, oh, I hope that goes to a sick kid. Well, that, they did that, they did that, yeah, I can see my money at work here. Not it just got like gets thrown into the fucking void and you're like, ah, I hope that goes to a sick kid.

Well, they did that. Yeah, exactly. Like you can actually like see the demonstrable works that like, you know, stuff's doing. But yeah, that was, I feel like that was the last week tonight episode two where they talked about like the, the people who get like the disillusionment of people who go work for nonprofits.

Cause like nonprofits are like the job satisfaction, right? Non-profits are just a bismill. Because like people get into them for all, get into them for all tourist reasons and wanting to make a change. And then you realize that it's so much of it is administrative hell and just like the cycles of money

and grant writing and funding and stuff that like, at the end of the day, is designed to perpetuate the administrative machine of the nonprofit. And it's like, I think there's always supposed to be like feeding people. And then it's like, no, we're supposed to keep the lights on here. I think there's like charity analyzers.

You can look up the specifics of charities online and see like what percentage of their budget goes to actual outreach versus Admin, yeah, exactly. Yeah, so I would definitely recommend that if you're looking into a charity see Where does the money actually go and where does it end up? Where's the percentage? Yeah, yeah, yeah I plant trees. That's my deal. I give to a tree planting one. What do you be $20, plant tree? Oh, you personally are the charity. I do. I give money to a tree plant.

Cause like, again, that's one of those things where it's like, I did the thing where they analyze the percentage of like, what actually goes to administrative costs and what actually goes to planting trees and, yeah, yeah, cause like, again, it's like carbon sink. We need like something that's like, actually like, sucking up some,

man, some of that greenhouse gas. I think that like... Climate change. Did you guys see, I think it was like Times Square or knows like the New York Stock Exchange, they have a clock, but the clock started counting down to like what they projected to be the end of the world or whatever. You see that bullshit? When did that happen?

It's like, I think I saw it on a friend's Instagram like a couple of weeks ago. I think that there's like a level of like awareness and like, hey, we need to make some change, let's snap into shape and stuff like that. That feels like fucking doom. And there's nothing to be done. And it's just like, well, that's the end of the road for us.

Like, I don't know. Sorry, we're just talking about, hey, plant trees, help stop climate change, all that stuff. But then there's like shit like that where it's like, we're just talking about, hey, plant trees, help stop climate change, all that stuff. But then there's like shit like that where it's like, we're making a statement. It's like, no, you're making me unmotivated to live. I mean, AI is going to get us anyways. Yeah. Yeah. It's getting, I've been downvoting a lot of AI stuff. I am very frightened for the future of AI just because it's really, it's going very fast.

And I think like, I just worry about the effect it'll have on disinformation. And just like, what people could believe, what they can't, especially with like AI voice, AI, Facebook, or anything like that. Even deepfaking and what happened. Well, even a couple of years ago, I felt like you could sometimes see news articles posted online. And I was like, it just doesn't seem like a person wrote this. Yeah. Or you could watch like news and air quotes, news programs that were uploaded.

There was like all like stock footage or computer generated and recreation. And and I was like I don't think a person maybe had a hand in making this story. But I think that's going to get better and better. Right and I think that at the time it was easy to tell like this doesn't seem right but as it advances and gets better it's like you don't know you'd be that line to be much more difficult to identify. Yeah and and that's honestly, that's I think what terrifies me more than anything. I agree, but I think one of the things that actually gives me hope is that two things, one, I think it is moving really fast,

but what will eventually happen is that AI will, and I've even seen advertisements, it's like, we'll help, we'll provide you an AI to like generate blog posts. It's like for whom blog posts For to what end and I really think we're gonna get to a point where it will be like AI's writing blog posts and reading them like it was like they will bypass human interaction It was like they will bypass human interaction entirely so that it will just be like this arobaros of content creation and consuming that will leave human beings entirely out of it.

And eventually it just collapses because all AI can do is sample, it can't create. So it will just, it just synthesizes two things and synthesizes stuff the data that it's been sampled So it will be AI is sampling itself and you'll get the multiplicity effect of things just degrading in quality as AI is sampling So like right now you can go like Show me this character, but as a muppet. It's like, okay Well, I can take an image of Pedro Pascal boom And I know what muppets look like boom and I can create this and it's like okay here is what Pedro Pascal looks like as a muppet. It's like, okay, well, I can take an image of Pedro Pascal, boom, and I know what muppets look like, boom, and I can create this. And it's like, okay, here is what Pedro Pascal looks like as a muppet in

AI. Soon it will be AI is looking at that, that created, created muppet of Pedro Pascal as a muppet and begin incorporating its own data into its own algorithm. And so you just get this recursive, destructive, imbreeding of information occurring within AI that I think will actually cause it to just malfunction or be functional useless. Yeah, that's like, I hope. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, if it starts making it in such a way where there's no human who would ever be interested, and then it just, it feeds itself. Exactly. It's like, almost like cannibalism.

Where it's like, yeah, you're not getting any nutrition. You're not learning anything out of this. If it learns how to improve itself as when we get into some trouble. I just asked ChatGPT to write an episode of Roust Heath podcast. Oh, God. And it kind of did. Do we want to put this on blast?

Do we want to, yeah, you and your hand? The camera pans over to the Roust Heath podcast set. Where Gus Therola Gavin free, Barbara Dunkelman and Bernie Burns are sitting around a table. Microphone's in front of them. We want to put this on blast. Do we want to? Yeah. You want to? Yeah. Camera pans over to the Rooster Podcast set where Gus, the roll of Gavin free, Barbara, Dunkelman and Bernie Burns are sitting around a table. Microphones in front of them. Gus, welcome to Rooster Podcast. I'm Gus Rolla.

Joining me today are Gavin free, Barbara, Dunkelman, and Bernie Burns. How's it going? Gavin, it's going great. Gus, how about you? Barbara, yeah, I'm doing pretty well. Bernie, I'm doing all right. Gus, well, let's get right into it. I heard you guys were talking about some crazy conspiracy theories before the podcast

started. Care to share. Gavin, oh man, where do we even begin? Barbara, I think we were talking about the moon landing being fake. What about, and I'm Gus. I see I can spot the fake. Yeah, I can spot the, I can spot the,

I can spot the, I can spot the, I can spot the, I can spot the, I can spot the, I can spot several, I guess what? Not a one laugh in that entire thing. It's so true. That's, that's, that's, a bunch of different laugh. That's, that's. But those are. That's me.

Like there is, what is, again, gives me hope is that like you read stuff like that. And it's one of those things where it's like, yeah, that is technically accurate, but it has, it is completely.
