AHDIAS 152: Are Crumbl Cookies Overrated?

Nicole I waited in line eight hours for this drop and putting it all up on goat.com tomorrow hypebeast are gonna buy for triple resale value what are you talking about cookies crumble cookies this is a hot dog as a sandwich ketchup is a smoothie yeah I put ice in my cereal so what that makes no sense a hot dog is a sandwich a hot dog is a sandwich Welcome to our podcast a hot dog is a sandwich I’m your host Josh here and I’m your host Nicola naidi and when we’re not internet chefing over on the mythical kitchen and Good Mythical Morning channels we are right freaking here taking on the world’s biggest food debates Nicole we got a doozy today we got this is this so exciting this is the Supreme this is the give me odd odd future was a streetwear brand the hunt golf golf was the streetwear brand golf one dip rip and dip had the little kitty that would flick you off when you would pull down the the shirt I’m still stuck on bathing ape do people wear Vape Vape was cool baby’s still cool see the hoodies that you zipped all the way up yeah it made like a new thing but Bape is now on Melrose it’s not a Fairfax anymore I have no idea what we’re talking about except for crumble cookies these are the hottest cookies in the game right now so hot then building that Hansel is so hot right now they’ve been building their base for the last like five years yeah and then when they finally drop their app it was literally like one of the top five most downloaded apps in the entire app store and I have never had a single taste or crumble cookie well I’ve had one one bite what is your what were you jaded about it did you want to be deliberately iconoclastic and be like crumble cookie sucker were you open to it no I’m I’m always open I’ll try anything once so crumble cookies you know they’re good they’re sweet they’re they’re texture I’m not gonna I’m not gonna ruin it for you their texture is is something that you need to experience in order to decide if you like it or not okay so that has been the criticism against crumble cookies there’s a lot of people of course anything becomes so big that people just want to tear it down natural to milkshake duck the cookies yeah can you explain milkshake duck because Josh tells me about milkshake ducking once a week at this point I am so on Monday mornings he’s like well time to get milkshake ducked I am so toxically online it was one tweet that said uh the world is in love with milkshake duck the adorable duck that drinks milkshakes 10 hours later we regret to inform you that milkshake duck is racist yeah um which is just a metaphor for how the internet takes one person and they build them up prop them up just to tear them down um the guy was his name was like Sly dog 420. oh yeah cramp so cranberry juice juice skateboard Tick Tock guy yeah yeah everyone loved that guy turned out he said the N word a bunch people didn’t like that you know but uh so that’s another great case of milkshake talking yeah rightfully so uh but crumble cookies people raise them up just to tear them down they’re so incredibly popular I want to try them and also if we’re talking about cultural reasons why they might be sweet right like okay for instance yodu Japanese Izakaya you eat something like natto yeah right that’s a texture that is not very familiar totally not so it’s fermented soy beans that is very kind of stringy it has a bit of a slimy texture to it sure but not it’s actually familiar to Americans um but very familiar to Japanese people so it can be challenging crumble cookies are incredibly sweet apparently I’ve never had one because they’re incredibly American because they’re incredibly Mormon incredibly Mormon here’s the thing here’s the thing are they Mormons they’re more so they were founded by Mormons they were founded by two Mormon cousins in Utah I know they were founded by cousins I just didn’t know they were Mormon but I should have assumed it because since they were new to other probably Mormons listen it’s just a numbers game at that point um but and I grew up around a lot of Mormons um I believe they tend to have a sweet tooth because they cannot drink caffeine they do not drink alcohol and so I think the vice sort of becomes Sugar Sugar this is a gross oversimplification of Mormon food culture however are you familiar with like the soda jerk culture in in Utah um yeah how they have these like little huts and they make like cool drinks yeah like really cool like like oh let’s put like four pumps of this and like yeah customize all the sodas you’re adding blue syrups toppings all this type of stuff yeah and it’s because it’s that’s what their bar is right like they can’t go out and get grab a pint they’re making weird soda so I believe caramel cookies the sweet tooth has something to do wow with Mormon hyper fixation on sweets well and Americans are very Mormon I right I mean utahns are very important also I grew up with around a lot of Pacific Islander uh Mormon people oh cool um because they did a lot of missionary work there but a lot of diverse Mormons out there anyway shout out to the Mormons y’all are great at playing instruments I don’t know what it is if that has anything to do the scripture every Mormon I’ve ever known just like they can bust out a clarinet and just play a song wow really yeah dude because they really like exemplify like they really find importance in like learning a shout out to the Smith family that I grew up with um anyways we gotta dig into this we gotta jump in okay we gotta make our official designation of our crumble cookies overrated or not so in front of the laptops we have a a party box typically they come out with four cookies and then there’s a mystery cookie but we because we’re fancy fancy people we got a big old holy smokes look at these cookies are you gonna cut the Box off Maggie gave me scissors to cut the boxes but I’m left-handed so this is really awkward for me and I’m probably gonna break my wrist but to get into the box thing the box is one of the to get into the box thing the box is one of the reasons why crumble became really popular because they got the packaging right yeah it’s like the Chipotle bag they put the sort of graffiti looking stuff on it it’s all hypey hype what the hell are these Nicole what the hell is going on with these cookies I can’t wait to go to someone’s graduation and hold this up instead of a picture of their face for those of you listening only not watching the YouTube video or on YouTube now if you didn’t know that you should watch us on YouTube our faces are gorgeous these are not cookies these are cookies that fell into will it share Noble you know radioactive waste vat they look beautiful they’re beautiful and then like came out and were branded by JoJo siwa yeah like I don’t know how to describe it they’re they’re these they’re the hyper pop of cookies they’re covered in sprinkles they’re each I mean not to get into the calorie count these have to be like 800 calories right you know on the website there’s a one it’s 150 calories a little asterisk on the side yeah it says which is why Josh please reach for the crumble cookie cutter what the hell are you talking about like what is a crumble cookie Josh right next to the Box bro what the hell is this okay okay so there is like this is like the pizza you know the little pizza table yes little white plastic Pizza this is a giant each cookie is four servings that’s not this this they know what they’re doing I am currently holding the crumble cookie cutter and let me tell you crumble cookies might be overrated but this is incredible this is a piece of technology that I’m glad to have in my hands it’s like holding on to I don’t know the first piece of slice bread or something just a piece of plastic with a cross in it which one symbol of the Mormon face Jesus just cuts the cookie but the cross needs to be like higher right the quadrants are too equal I don’t know if the Mormon cross is different than like the the Protestant cross because like the Orthodox cross is different oh is it it’s the swirly one yeah I think right the Orthodox cross is the swirly one or am I thinking of the prince Prince’s uh logo name you think yeah the Orthodox cross has got like serifs on it oh the one with the slant on the bottom oh that’s so cool what’s the reason what’s the reasoning for the bottom one I don’t know it’s okay nothing about Orthodoxy outside topics this isn’t a thing about this isn’t a podcast about religion it should be we should host a religious podcast I know so much about Judaism okay so um actually I need to pull up my laptop again because I have all the flavors written down so we know what we’re eating I know more about Mormonism than Judaism that’s embarrassing that’s sad I just convert I don’t want to give up any of the things that I love doing though I’m buying you a mezuzah tomorrow I don’t want to type it I cannot let you talk like this I don’t want to type it I cannot let you speak like this did you use tithe tithe tithe you give 10 of your income and something that a lot of Christians we do sadaka no we do sadaka is it 10 it’s more do you get pretty sure really I give I give a lot I do a lot of Charity to whom this is my charity I’m just kidding um no but I do give a lot of Charity because I think it’s important to give back to communities okay I’m not gonna start uh volunteering at a food bank on a Jewish food bank on Sundays to do Sudoku are you for realm brother okay so the cookies we have milk chocolate chip that’s the OG this is what launches milk chocolate so they said they set out to do I cut it do I have to use no let me let me talk through all the flavors sir honey cake featuring Teddy Grahams branded a tasty Graham flavored cookie decorator with a honey butter frosting I like juice of honey and Teddy grams cookies did butter into cookies with butter on to cookies chocolate chocolate Milo cupcake a delicious cake chocolate cake cookie topped with a layer of fluffy marshmallow whipped cream gooey chocolate glaze and decorative white Loops oh boy peanut butter snakes peanut butter featuring Snickers also branded a chunky peanut butter cookie topped with caramel buttercream a Sprinkle of delicious Snickers pieces and a smooth milk chocolate drizzle classic pink sugar and all-time favorite a vanilla sugar cookie topped with a perfect pink scoop of real almond frosting now what is almond frosting dude I have no idea and then kg said that the mystery cookie is cake batter Blondie cake batter blunt listen okay okay okay okay let’s throw this out there this is a cookie yeah that is flavored like cake batter cake is another pastry yeah but it’s a blondie dude yes there’s three different nouns in one there should only be one noun the rest should be adjectives I agree a cookie should be a cookie should be a cookie but like there’s there’s way too much crossover happening right now and it’s kind of giving me Whiplash it’s giving me Cookie Whiplash I love that movie are you rushing or are you dragging Cena you talk about it all dude we should watch Whiplash it’ll give you so much anxiety okay you wanna have a movie can we get these cookies okay the chocolate chip cookie this is it looks thick and it looks under baked which is what a lot of people like in cookies um oh but that’s got a good crunch when you cut into that Nicole so they said that they set out to just perfect a chocolate chip cookie recipe and that’s what launched crumble back in like 2017. can I tell you why it’s already imperfect go ahead milk chocolate you prefer a dark or semi-sweet chocolate in your cookie necessary for a chocolate what Nicole imagine that you have lived a life devoid of alcohol and pleasure and you need the sweet can’t imagine just to feel something try it this is what I’m analyzing it it is under baked this is raw cookie dough at the bottom which again I love raw cookie dough yeah so this is this is the original chocolate chip uh it’s a milk chocolate chip it does have the consistency of a blondie which a blondie is a brownie without chocolate for those who don’t know that’s right and it is one of my favorite pastries because totally I’m not a chocolate guy and I love the texture of a dense brownie I think it’s delicious hot damn I taste the Mormonism tastes like Elohim has given me my own planet there’s like Joseph Smith reading the Scrolls there’s like Brigham Young leading the Expedition through Missouri I know about Brigham Young yeah yeah they have a university named after him tastes like Steve Young direct descendant of Brigham Young winning the Rose Bowl for BYU in 1984. I don’t think he did that but Steve Young shout out what’s the mask on the quarterback what’s the mascot of there’s like the Detmer Brothers other Mormon quarterbacks what’s this there’s so many Mormon quarterbacks Zach Wilson terrible quarterback great Mormon um cougars they’re cougars I don’t love this cookie they’re the Cougars yeah sorry I don’t love this cookie do you love this cookie it’s okay it doesn’t do it for me 100 it’s a lot it’s a lot it’s a lot which is why they have this quadrant cutter which I’m obsessed with capitalism but even the flavor it’s like is there brown butter in there for sure there’s brown butter in there it’s a well-made cookie to me it is simply it is too thick it is too under baked under baked to be a cookie if you reframe this as a blondie if you bake this in a sheet pan and cut it into squares it would be it would be golden I think it’d be more successful but I don’t think that a brownie delivery service or whatever you want or brownie drop doesn’t have the same I don’t know je ne sais quoi as say a cookie drop does you are absolutely right like they literally these should none of these should be cookies they’re not but we can’t judge too soon no we can’t we can’t but I’m trying to like get in the head of crumble and figure it out because like it’s objectively it’s it’s sweet as hell it’s like exactly delicious yeah it’s a good dessert I just don’t know if it’s a good cookie I agree I agree what do you want to move on to next where do you want to go should we stick with chocolate let’s go peanut butter let’s go with this peanut butter Snickers monster it’s got just a turd coil of frosting on top how do you feel about frosting on cookies it’s weird right lofthouse cookies is that what they’re called yeah that’s the only exception though so Loft Jazz cookies for people don’t know um they had a Stranglehold on kids birthday parties in classrooms in the early 2000s yeah they’re like the blandest it’s like the communion wafer of shortbread I don’t think they’re Bland I think it’s either it’s a texture thing either you love them or you hate them it’s like a very like dry cakey thing but there’s almost no Sweetness in the actual cookie part and then there’s just a dollop of thick pink fluorescent pink frosting and I love the cookies I like them because what they mix with your saliva they kind of go up in your garbage and you can just keep it there for later okay what’s going on with this one this is a Snickers sniff it peanut butter it’s a peanut butter cookie it’s their peanut butter cookie with Snickers but what is the frosting there’s normally okay so it’s a peanut butter based cookie you have chocolate on your nose that’s good stuff man so it’s a peanut butter cookie there’s just a layer of frosting chopped up Snickers bars and then chocolate goo it’s a caramel frosting oh my God oh my God okay this one’s good I have a soft spot for peanut butter cookies oh oh God that’s good oh my God oh God let me just tell you what it does I don’t like the caramel the artificial caramel taste next you want to kind of vomit no I love it but the cookie and the and the pieces on top and the drizzle I’m all about Mormon Jesus Take me to your planet Josh I can’t I accept the fact that you came to the Americas and proselytized to the natives that’s a thing oh my dude this is that’s good as somebody who loves hyper aggressive flavors that was really aggressive like I love like um one of my favorite foods this is a weird tangent it’s like um Lao style papaya salad yes you’ve told me this before because it’s like fermented mud crabs pounded with the world’s spiciest chilies and just a ton of fish sauce in crunchy Green Papaya whole chunks of Ginger and it is just to me like the most intensely flavored food in the world this is like the dessert version of that there is no restraint zero this is balls to the wall rubbing is racing cold trickle Days of Thunder ass cookie coming straight to your freaking Dome do you say rubbing is rubbing is racing Nicole what is rub what is rubbing his race I’m going 170 miles an hour in a NASCAR are you coming next to me I’m gonna Jam right into you you know I could rub in his racing my name’s cold trickle oh the cars are rubbing against each other yeah yeah okay got it yeah I guess yeah without that contact should sound essential looks like you’re gonna go down in weird Mormon like thing and I just wasn’t interested yeah and soaking is not sex I think kids I think listen is this a this is a historical fact that we’re talking about um yeah this immediately swayed me I’m never gonna go to crumble and get a normal chocolate chip cookie no their normal chocolate chip is is mid as the kids say it’s mid my throat burns from the amount of sugar that’s my problem I don’t care I can’t eat things like that why was there a point when you could when you were a child yeah of course when I was a kid I was like nom nom nom but like now it’s like yeah I need milk and sparkling water and I want to combine them I was counting down the minutes until you said you needed milk oh God I wasn’t waiting for you to say I just put down a jug of milk in front of you I have a nice little um I have a nice little flat white with all oat milk I ate a cookie and I saw God all right freak let’s move on I’m ready what are we doing I wanted this one I say we stick with chocolate no we want a metal cleanser before chocolate let’s do this one this is gonna be the sweetest yeah okay classic ice sugar cookie yeah this is gonna be the sweetest the cookie is literally made of sugar and then they put a sugar goo on top oh look it kind of looks like the cutter itself as well it’s beautiful it’s pink it’s understated yeah that’s the cleanest out of all of them it cuts the cleanest it is hard it is dense this thing weighs you ever pick up a a wedge of tungsten not recently does anybody know what I’m talking about tungsten is heavy heavy heavy look small pick it up heavy the inside is punched an ass cookie the inside is just is just dough they use the anti-levanting agent Nicole they used a densifying agent in this cookie there’s no rise okay oh God damn I need to spit this out I’m gonna swallow it I hate this so much it is like eating pure fondant so almondine oh my God it literally just tastes like you’re eating a thing of marzipan it tastes like a spoonful of marzipan God which is I love good for some people exploded out of my mouth and I ate it again um I love almond extract I I think almond extract and pastries is one of my favorites I almost prefer it to vanilla sometimes that is so much that’s too much this is like the beef bouillon of cookies oh it’s like a cookie concentrate I I think are you not supposed to soak this in water are you still get in water it hydrates to be a full cake and then the flavors disperse you mean like the the boyfriends the little like a build of boyfriends that you get from Oz what you know whenever you would buy a little it was like build a boyfriend or like build a girlfriend and it was like a little like like um I don’t know if you know what I’m talking about no it’s like it was like a toy that I even get from Oz you know Oz the store no do you know the store Oz oh my gosh it was like an LA thing no look up AAA HS Oz yeah sorry there’s a lot of ways to spell c-a-h-s exclamation point and it was like a weird like like kitschy store they had a lot of I don’t know like Halloween costumes in like June or whatever and they had these things it’s like build your own boyfriend when you would like it was like made out of sponge material and it was like the size of your thumb and then it would like expand in water it would like be like kind of like the size of like your palm it’s like oh build a boyfriend did you love him do you validate you like David oh you know if you know you know those are like fun little toys but that’s what you’re talking about right we’re constituting it yeah yeah I’m sorry this is the first time I’ve drank a full glass of water on this podcast because each cookie I can feel the cavity is forming it’s disgusting and again I have such a high tolerance for like very very sweet things but apparently not Mormon tolerance you know like uh Thai spicy yeah Thai spicy Mormon tolerance like you can get it like like mild medium hot or Thai spicy at a Thai restaurant you can literally get it Mormon sweet and this is Mormon sweet that is heavy man do you want to keep going yes we have to keep going for science if you do not Forge ahead Nicole I will it’s okay like John Muir entering the Wilderness with nothing but a notebook I’ll be your uh co-pilot cut me up I want to taste the chocolate because I want to end with the the other one it’s gonna make the cookie cutter messy don’t go to the chocolate okay go to this one and then you can’t read stuff before you have to do it then we’ll start slopping around and all the frosting oh my God I think this one might be filled oh God it’s so hard this one might be fine that’s one stuff this one’s pregnant you ever see like a fish and it’s just a little too fat and you’re like that fish got baby eggs in it what the hell is this oh my God it’s just like a pad of white chocolate in the middle what’s going on this is the cake batter one this is like oh my God cake batter bun cheers cake batter bundle none of the cookie dough is cupped it’s so wrong oh God that is so good it’s so soft and raw oh that’s the flavor take batter Blondie oh there’s like a raspberry going on there’s like an artificial raspberry yeah what is that I think it’s the sprinkles God that’s good no it’s like cake batter and raspberry strawberry please contain yourself sir yeah I love how we got two of each I need to be like well there’s two podcast Subs they’ll each want to eat a cookie they’re eating a quarter of a quarter I told kg I told kg to get us a nice pretty box I finally met my Mansion of food and it is crumble cookies oh my gosh oh Josh that was horrible Subway has a raspberry white chocolate cookie does it taste like that times like on steroids literally literally it is like you through Subway’s raspberry white chocolate cookies into a black hole and it like condensed it into Dark Matter yeah and then it you know uh went through Provo Utah and ended up here yeah I also had like 100 grams of steroids pumped into its bottom 100 man and I am in like I think this genuinely tastes good though I think the texture is good I love Blondie texture again it is sweet as hell um that one’s working for me I need an adult I don’t know how much I never thought I’d be the person who’s like that’s so sweet I can’t handle it’s like no people say that about Indian sweets right and I love Indian sweets they think they’re too sweet yeah and like they’re they’re very very sugarless they’re so honey heavy maybe the honey it’s like jaggery it’s just they’re very dense and it’s a lot of nut paste you know mixed with stuff sure um and it’s not meant to be eaten in this quantity is the thing about Indian sweets especially like think about like jalebi right or Zubia uh it’s incredibly sweet but it’s a little bit yeah it’s a little nut the whole thing yeah uh-uh different different portions America this is the most American thing I’ve ever seen slice up the honey there’s a Mormon Mexican chain called Cafe Rio okay I came into my hometown same thing but same thing but burritos they were just the biggest wettest mostest burritos I’ve ever had most disparitos man put it open what are the other ones this is the honey the honey bear was God the honeybunch the butter it’s uh it’s honey butter frosting oh my gosh all right we’re cutting into the golden this is horrific oh God Golden Grahams honey butter frosted honey crumble crumble cookie I want the one with the bear on it just take another bear no no I hate just let me live oh this cookie feels wet why is it yes why isn’t it oh my goodness it’s like holding a two pound weight now this is like a two pound this is two pounds of cookies it’s like pure plutonium it’s wet it’s when it’s heavy you poke it it stay wet look it how does your finger poke like that I can poke all the way through if I wanted to oh my gosh I’m just eating butter they’re all good they were actually balanced efforts ethicists need to study this food for whether or not I understand this is like suitable for human consumption this is the most balanced cookie we’ve had though it’s good salt it’s salty this is a well-balanced cookie good job crumble these are the just the Indian sweets of cookies dude if these were like little tiny if there was a single bite like a single very sweet thing to end a meal but it wouldn’t be instagramable if it wasn’t correct they need to play to American access and boy have they this is this is just but like this is butter there’s like a whipped honey butter that is a really good cookie it’s like buttercream is just whipped butter with you know it’s chicken frosting yeah this is just a lower sugar cookie so the butter can really shine and then they just drizzle honey on it and it’s salted which makes it great which makes unreal this is the perfect this is the best cookie that out of the ones that we’ve tried because it’s salted and it’s not like you’re not getting punched in the gut with just sugar incredibly balanced well done crumble damn I am this has been the biggest emotional journey of any food tasting that we’ve ever done ethicists ethicists and we still have one more we still have the marshmallow cupcake dark chocolate Nicole oh I have I have I’m getting the sugars you stare into the eyes of Sauron and you dive what is this based off of again oh God it’s so dense Nicole oh my God it’s stuck the cookie has stuck to the cutter because of just the sheer gravity of it uh so this is based off a Hostess cupcake with the marshmallow frosting thank you I do not enjoy chocolate cookies either this is gonna be the fudgiest thing we’ve ever eaten what can you even describe the texture of this sand what it’s like it’s like kinetic sand yeah excuse me okay what the hell oh my God what the hell’s going on so sugary I hate this I hate this so much I also Host this cupcake this makes me hate my life ew ruin my day worst thing to end on my whole day is ruined Julius how many Diet Cokes I’m gonna need to drink to make up for this you it is it is so so so dense with pure cocoa powder oh my God it tastes the the most the most egregious thing on this though is it’s a whipped cream they called it a whipped cream marshmallow frosting but it’s just pure whipped cream yeah and it’s it’s super overweight is it whipped cream so it’s super super fatty and it dissolves in your mouth if this was a proper like marshmallow cream that would do better because it doesn’t have such a soft texture so you’re going from the literally the densest cookie you’ve ever had with the lightest whipped cream that evaporates in your mouth and then you’re just left left yeah with dense chocolate um I have never had such terrible experiences and such beautiful euphoric experiences in one box yeah I think they say life is like a box of chocolates but I think life is like a box of crumble cookies because it’s gonna give you your highest highs and your lowest lows and that’s what I I would rather have that yeah right I know cookies are like a comfort food and people well my laptop is covered I’m sorry I know cookies are a comfort food and people tend to look for consistency in Comfort Foods right not this guy I would rather ride the sign curve of Life Nicole to its highest highest cookies with cookies with everything I want to cry I want to laugh I want to be hurt I want to you know yes no cookies are a microcosm for Life Nicole I don’t think cookies should be like this I need a bite this is something else to wash out I think cookies like this should I think the government needs to step in because this is crazy this is insanity this is excessive this is dare I say this is a little bit overrated dare I think it’s overrated I think it’s a little bit overrated but let me tell you there’s so many other companies that do the same exact thing there’s dirty dough there’s last crumb I’ve had all those there’s there’s Crave You don’t think any of them hold a candle to crumble no not at all this is the sh the level of shock and awe in crumble cookies I am dead serious I’ve had all the other ones and there’s the one that’s like this pregnant and fat and they’re all like you know shrink wrapped and whatnot um I don’t enjoy them uh all of them taste the same they’re all kind of similar giant bloated over sweet but none of them literally have the shock and awe and the Pomp and the circumstance do you know the halftime performer red panda absolutely not red panda so she goes on a giant unicycle and she balances plates she throws them on top of her head there’s a lot of people who can do it there’s a lot of people who balance on stuff they throw stuff not a single person does it nearly as well as red panda they’re talking about potentially inducting her into the NBA Hall of Fame because she’s done so many halftime shows and nobody can hold a candle to her this is the red panda of cookies crumble cookies are not overrated they will give you the ride of your freaking lifetime if you can just hold on long enough and not let go Baby I prefer insomnia [Music] find all the best cookies you can buy at the grocery store over at sport you guys want some cookies next time you’re lost in the cookie aisle search cookies on sport.com to find the best of the best [Music] all right Nicole refer to the United States now it’s time to find out what other wacky ideas are rattling out there in the universe this time for a second we call opinion it’s not like casseroles God I don’t feel good foreign [Music] my body’s been sent into like a shock Josh my left toe is tingling and I can’t stop yeah take it I gotta take the toe I gotta cut it off save it in a jar in case I can reattach it uh let’s get into our first opinions right as I’m just trying to stop shaking hey Josh hey Nicole um calling from Rochester New York yes my nose is running but I’m originally from San Diego so shout out to the carne asada burritos and Cali B’s out there let’s go I know you’re a big fan of them Josh hell yeah but anyway I like them too my controversial food opinion is I don’t think there is anything wrong with microwaving leftover fast food I always get whenever they see me microwave I read a four day old McDonald’s there’s nothing wrong with that correct still food is it still just as good as when it’s fresh no obviously fast food is better when you’re eating it right away but there’s also nothing wrong with microwaving leftover fast food it still is food thank you supposed to be featured yeah um I kind of only heard bits and pieces of that because I’m kind of blacking out right now this man’s moved from San Diego to Rochester New York the two opposite cities in America are they the most opposite I mean like Rochester’s like cold and desolate San Diego’s like happy and sunny um I agree that when you microwave fast food it is not as good as the original but it doesn’t come out worse it becomes different for instance microwave lettuce Nicole are you familiar with the fancy Italian restaurant in Los Angeles called alimento sure alimento with gruner vet liner on tap from a large steel drum and they’ve radiator pasta they’ve editioned I’ve been there twice they have a dish called bruschetta with braised lettuces Nicole they cook their lettuces till they are hot and it’s delightful and they put it on bruschetta I would eat it you microwave a McChicken with the lettuce and mayonnaise you’re just braising it in the microwave that’s all I’m saying Josh no three four days after you get it no just throw it away they’re chock full of preservatives okay yeah I agree but it’s gonna be fine just just there’s no point it’s not like meal prepping you ever microwave a Crunchwrap Supreme a couple days out oh no Supreme won the crunch the lair just completely absorbs into the rest of it totally the lettuce the moisture from the lettuce takes the Crunchwrap it takes the tostada into itself like a starfish eating and it just becomes a soup inside which is still good it’s like a gigantic soup dumpling I’m with this man I wouldn’t do that anymore also shout out to Jenna Marbles and babish who are both from Rochester correct and Mario Lopez from San Diego Chula Vista specifically great my name is Anna uh I’m from Burke Virginia and my hot take is that I cannot stand raw onions whether it’s chopped you know chopped up green onion ties a lot of times I’ll have to ask for it not to be put on my food as a garnish because restaurants love to never list on the menu and sneak it on there like oh hey it’s nothing but no it’s not nothing it’s raw onion and makes everything taste like it so love your show and thanks for listening bye okay I I think raw onion is a beautiful flavor and I’m a big fan of it I like red I like white don’t do yellow onions the yellow onions are bad raw two bungee green onions delicious red onions can have a lot of bite and a lot of fun yeah Josh sometimes makes me put it in ice water before I feed our guests my favorite thing to do my favorite thing to do and I know Scott Conant on Chopped is a big proponent of that as well and I understand it but I just think raw onion is a beautiful flavor but you’re allowed to have like your preferences when it comes to like not having raw onion on stuff I recommend maybe you start out with pickled pickled onions are a great way to introduce yourself into onion Hood start with pickled onions and then and then eventually just like half of like your burrito or like half of your taco do half pickled onions half raw onions and maybe you don’t know maybe you’ll love it at that point I think not liking raw onion is a very reasonable thing to not like totally yeah I think it’s reasonable when people like I hate mayonnaise it’s like well I mean mayonnaise is it’s really just a texture and a flavor of salt and acid that people like generally love Yeah but yeah like the bite of raw onion can be really really abrasive really really in a way that I genuinely love um but yeah the trick the soaking it in ice water is a trick I learned from Connie’s Seafood my favorite Mariscos place because they had just these thick cut red onion rings and every time I bit into it it just exploded with like onion sweetness and it was incredible but no bite no bite and I was like how do you all do this and like you soak it in ice water like overnight so cool and so I started doing that when I want like a big raw onion wedge you know to have that big old texture and to me that’s really great but totally agreed very reasonable dislike totally reasonable but just try try liking it by by doing some fun things like what I said couldn’t imagine like tacos without raw onion like that delicious you know street tacos without raw onion is crazy but hey Josh Nicole this is Graham from Austin Texas I saw you guys at intercom it was a great show thank you Josh more of a Jim bro Centric question I really want to know your thoughts I can be the pocket egg is this dumb is it I know it’s overrated is it underrated or are the Jim Bros onto something like carrying a whole food around as a snack love your thoughts on that may I but please take the pocket egg I believe pocket egg is an egg you keep in your pocket for a protein boost is that correct that is that is correct okay my only problem with the pocket egg one I’m a fan of pocket Foods in the gym I’ll keep a protein bar which having a whole food is probably better than a protein bar sure but a thing that I believe in I’m doing like two and a half hour workouts in the gym right and it’s not all lifting if you’re if you’re lifting for two and a half hours it’s Overkill but I’m stretching I’m doing cardio I’m doing rehab prehab I’m chatting a lot to all my homies you know what I mean some there for a while and if you get tired in the middle of your workout you generally want what are called intro workout carbs okay because you get a little bit of that blood sugar Spike you know it makes your muscles feel more full you could push out a couple extra reps intro workout protein to me doesn’t really do much to me it’s strictly a carb thing so that’s my only pocket food is a little bar pocket egg is probably a great way if you are going low carb if you want to get because eggs have what 70 calories six to seven grams of protein like four or five grams of fat to me that doesn’t suit my nutritional needs whenever I eat protein again if you get protein wherever you can but when I’m eating protein I’m eating five different 40 gram of protein feedings per day so I have five meals at 40 grams of protein I’m not religious about it but I’m like sometimes I’m like what is eating six grams of protein gonna do for me right now got it because I can eat six ounces of chicken breast and get like 40 grams you know or just stuff Oscar Meyer lunch meat in my face and get 40 grams but you wouldn’t keep it in your protein egg but you wouldn’t keep that in your pocket no but I do stash it around I mean you see what I do at work I just order like rotisserie chickens and just keep them in fridges you know so I I understand the need for a pocket egg I would rather skill protein bar because I’m not low carb and but doesn’t the gym smell like eggs yeah people eating these eggs in the gym I’ve seen videos of people doing it as like a gag but like nobody’s actually doing that but going outside and eating it and coming in that’s fine that’s super fine I don’t want the gym to smell like hard-boiled eggs well when I was so I I’ve told the story before but when I was really uh dirty bulking which is a term for eating as much as possible as often as possible to get as fat and strong as possible and it really served me I got my bench press up 100 pounds I got a d17 shot put that’s incredible and the way that I would do it is Carl’s Jr always had a two for three dollar burger special back in the day now it’s like two for five thanks Joe Biden on inflation um but they would back then it was called the Big Carl and it was like 56 grams of protein like a thousand plus calories per Burger it was their take on a Big Mac and I used to buy two I’d eat one before the gym and then I would eat one immediately after the gym to get in that uh anabolic window they call it which is probably a myth but whatever but I felt Yogi because I’m bored I would be tired I’d eat the freaking sweaty two-hour old hamburger in the sauna um because I wanted to be funny and I thought it was funny bit and people laughed at me and then some people were disgusted and it smelled bad but so people do weird stuff people dry scoop their protein can I tell you something if I was in the sauna and I saw someone eating a big Coral I would tell the management to stop doing that but like a 280 pound 17 year old you’d be like get out of here yeah I’d be like hey I don’t know I wouldn’t say get out of here I would go get the manager and say get the heck out of here I never got in trouble I only got in trouble for accidentally dropping metal plates on a concrete floor oh you should never do that oh I shattered the window once you need to drop it down nicely and slowly you can’t just go ah yeah but if you have bumper plates you can do it with bumper plates they’re meant to be dropped bumper plates or bumper plates and Olympic platforms are meant to be dropped okay an Olympic platform’s not at the freaking uh they have it at 24 sometimes they have a 24 sometimes Planet Fitness no don’t go to Planet Fitness if you’re trying to if they do Planet Fitness has a great business model it’s because 99 of their customers simply do not show up it’s for money um yeah yeah so they’re doing well but it’s for monies pocket egg is good just do do pocket meat instead beef jerky good luck there’s two pocket jerky good luck better macros your two favorite gym Bros giving you the best advice I feel I I feel like swole I feel vascular from the freaking cookies dude I’m like I feel swollen from the cookies it’s like a freaking good pump for the cookies if you if you were to grab my my leg like what’s this part of my leg which the bottom part the bottom part of my life if you were to grab my calf right now I think an imprint would stick gastroc the memius the tibialis which one Maggie next opinion hey you sexy beasts this isn’t really an opinion casserole I just wanted to call and let you know you know how Instagram shows you like you know so and so friend like this photo well Instagram decided that me and Nicole are best friends because pretty much every time I pull up a meme that I’m gonna send to my partner I see that Nicole liked it and I feel like I’m learning a lot about her just from seeing the Instagram post that she likes so I don’t know what you want to do with that information but I just thought you’d want to know thanks for the Kick-Ass podcast love you bye I love you uh send them to me don’t send them to your partner send to me I have a quick concern what people can see the posts you like on Instagram yes all the time can I just say something we all know this very side no say no sorry I touch you side note I love Instagram reels I don’t have to talk on my phone I’m on Instagram reels and I like almost everything that pops up on my explore page but now it’s curated right now like right now if I go on my phone it’s gonna be kitty cat videos and and funny foreign men but is there like a setting where people can’t see the video no things you’ve liked just don’t like them just out there just don’t like that I want to like them for just save them oh smart you can start saving them well here yeah but yeah thanks I I think I have good taste hi this is Connor from Spokane and I just wanted to say that if you uh we have one cheese or the pantry staple I think cream cheese is just the best option ah you can use it for every single meal and it just makes every single thing you put on better cheddar is good but it’s a little too powerful for uh most applications unless you really want that cheesiness but cream cheese can go on just about everything all right love your show bye I kind of love this I have my qualms what are your qualms um so whenever I first started working here one of the first Willits I worked on was will it mac and cheese on the YouTube show that Josh and I work on good mythical morning and um he was like and I said oh yeah let’s put some cool cheeses in there he’s like just put cream cheese and I’m like cream cheese like yeah cream cheese is a cheese and I’m like is it for a lot of them like you just you say cream cheese is a default cheese but it’s not I remember I remembered it of course you do but cream cheese you always remember things differently no well I specifically said for like the dessert ones because we made a KitKat mac and cheese sure okay yeah yeah you know and I was like well cream cheese is a cheese and it is cheese what it’s not cheese it’s cheese dude I don’t I think that’s why we need new terms for cheeses yeah because like uh parmesan and mascarpone or different what’s the skier yeah like skier is basically yogurt but it’s classified as the cheese Quark I think quarkel cream mascarpone even like ricotta those should just not be called cheeses but what about like Brie borsan come on bear like those are all spreadable okay yeah but they’re but they’re uh they’re in a rhyme they have a rind and they’re aged a plus yeah I I do it but one cheese right you can make a you can make a cake frosting with cream cheese you can’t make a cheddar yeah you can you can spread it on a you could do anything no you could do anything you could do anything in this life what would you do you’d have to make a bechamel and then just add a bunch of powdered sugar to it cheddar frosting yeah I guess it would work yeah cheddar frosting on like an apple on an apple crumble cookie oh my God we just invented the next crumble cookie folks this is how the creative products crumble cookies call us so we will help you and I Josh and I will help you make your next batch of four flavors they will all be weird but they will all be delicious and they won’t be too warm and
