17- Chocolate Debate: Dark vs. Milk – Which Candy Does Oprah Buy? · Arguing Ever After

0:14
Hello and welcome to Arguing Ever After.
0:16
I am Luke and this is my wonderful wife, Amber.
0:19
Hello. Together we are the Lord and
0:21
Lady who lock horns. The count and Countess of
0:23
contention. The Duke and Duchess of
0:25
Disagreement. And the king and queen of
0:27
quarrels. We have been together since
0:30
shortly after the invention of Hershey's Cookies and Cream.
0:33
In this entertainment only podcast, we will bicker about
0:36
all things big and small and the audience gets the final say on
0:39
who the winner is. We do not claim to be
0:41
relationship experts by any means.
0:44
We will debate lots of things, many of which are submitted by
0:46
our listeners. So if you have something you
0:48
want us to quarrel about, send it to
0:50
arguingeverafter@gmail.com. Perhaps it's completely
0:53
unscientific method of letting the masses decide who is right
0:56
can help solve your fight before you even have it.
1:00
And so here we are with new microphones.
1:04
New microphones, Fancy ones. We really hope sound OK on the
1:08
other end. It should sound better than what
1:09
we had before, which was 1 little bitty microphone kind of
1:12
far away. Well the last episode it was
1:14
nuns, so hopefully it sounds better than no microphone.
1:17
Agreed. But if you think our last
1:19
episode sounded better, that's bad.
1:21
We've already like put a huge budget into these little
1:24
microphones. You ever wanted to use the
1:26
Internet for tiny Bluetooth microphones?
1:28
You might find these and they're less than $40.
1:31
Yes, yes. So you know, big investment just
1:34
for for you all for your listening pleasure.
1:38
Yeah, but it's kind of exciting to have something new.
1:41
It is think we all like new stuff.
1:43
We do. Speaking of new stuff, we have
1:46
new followers. We do have new followers.
1:49
Will you tell us where they're from?
1:51
Well, so the first one I even need to look because I have a
1:55
well, we have a special connection to this place is
1:58
North Carolina. North Carolina is a beautiful
2:01
place. Is a beautiful place.
2:03
We went there, I don't remember how many years ago, to the Outer
2:07
Banks. The Outer Banks is a small train
2:10
of barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina where many
2:15
people would know, well, maybe not the place, but what happened
2:18
there when the Wright brothers invented the airplane?
2:23
You know what didn't put that together?
2:25
But you know, what I do remember is that they had wild horses out
2:29
there. They did, but only on the
2:31
northernmost island of Corolla. Oh, is that how you pronounce
2:34
it? It is.
2:34
Was I always pronouncing it wrong when we were?
2:36
There, well, we both thought it was Corolla like the car, but we
2:38
were wrong. Right, OK, OK, Well, it was
2:41
really beautiful and if you're in the area, you know, get into
2:45
it. Also.
2:46
I remember some really good cookies we had there.
2:49
Do you do at a little shop? And then there was this place
2:51
that had really good. Wait, wait, wait, back up one
2:53
second. Don't go too fast because I like
2:55
cookies a lot. No.
2:56
Can you describe them? So they were like smaller
2:59
sandwich cookies with like the outside.
3:03
The cookies themselves were like oatmeal, kind of a oatmeal
3:06
cookie. OK, I don't remember if there
3:08
were raisins, but the inside had a really good cream in them and
3:11
like. Oatmeal green pie.
3:14
No, but it was like a crunchier cookie, which I'm usually not
3:16
into. I do remember now that you said
3:18
the crunchy part and then it was like a it was like a cream
3:21
cheese frosting in the middle almost.
3:23
So good, I wish I could remember where we found them.
3:25
Delicious. And we got like.
3:27
We got it come in like a bag. They did.
3:29
Well, it was. Like I remember a bag.
3:31
Yeah, it was some restaurant. It wasn't like, or a gift shop,
3:35
I don't know. But we went and bought them out
3:37
all the time while we were there.
3:38
And other people we were with were like, those were so good.
3:41
And people had gone to the store after we had already cleaned
3:43
them out. And I sorry, bad luck for you.
3:46
Yeah, you can't have any also you just Minnesota that sorry.
3:49
So why do you want? Sorry, that's.
3:51
Canadian I know well. Southern Canada, here we are.
3:54
Maybe I'm watching too much Canadian TV.
3:57
Are you watching a lot of Canadian TV?
3:59
There's a. Couple really good shows that
4:00
I've gotten into, but I think I've.
4:01
Actually got them. Is there?
4:03
Yeah, Kim's convenience store. That's Canadian, Yeah.
4:07
I did not know that. Yeah.
4:08
And then, well, that's gonna be the only one I can't remember
4:11
right now, but that one I really like.
4:12
It's fun all. There was one about a rental car
4:15
place. Maybe that is the same as Kim's
4:18
Convenience. It doesn't matter.
4:20
Anyhow, they have some good comedies to watch.
4:23
OK, but I'm not talking about Canada, because Canada has not
4:27
caught on to us yet. What's up with that?
4:29
I don't know. Wait, yes, they have.
4:32
Excuse me? Toronto jumped in at some point.
4:35
Never. I'm pretty sure.
4:36
No, I have the, I have the scoreboard.
4:38
Oh no, I'm mad because I was certain.
4:40
No, has not ever. But you know who did?
4:45
Who did this is new addition. This is another new addition, a
4:49
different country, how far away they are, and yet they still
4:53
found us and their neighbors, which are three or four hours
4:56
away, haven't. It's time for you.
4:58
But this other country, very exciting, Algeria.
5:04
That is crazy. It's.
5:05
Wild. Algeria is in northern Africa.
5:11
It is the largest country in Africa by land.
5:15
Is that where Morocco is? I don't think so.
5:19
We looked. We're not so good at geography.
5:21
No, we're not. But what I did learn is that
5:23
most of the country or the Sahara Desert covers most of the
5:28
country. Is it Sahara or Sahara?
5:30
Sahara. Yeah, probably Sahara.
5:33
I bet that's not how they say it.
5:34
With that, they probably say Sahara.
5:36
I, I, yeah, I'm sure I'm very accurate.
5:39
So. So that's pretty exciting.
5:41
We clearly speak the local language.
5:43
Yeah, but I was really excited about that one.
5:45
You know, that's our second African country.
5:47
So, you know, North America, you're losing.
5:52
That's kind of amazing, actually.
5:53
Really. Because we've also been to both
5:56
Canada and Mexico. Where we had Canada.
5:58
We don't. We don't.
5:59
But now in the normal fashion of you welcoming people.
6:04
Oh yes, yeah, let's, let's hear it.
6:06
Tradition would have it. I don't think I'm going to get
6:11
it right. That's OK, Trying is half the
6:14
battle maybe. And I might have forgot my
6:17
research a little bit. Is it?
6:20
Is it? Wait.
6:20
You tell me, and then I'll try. Oh, my God.
6:22
I did. You forget To what?
6:26
Yeah, that is. Wait.
6:28
Yeah. But you got to.
6:28
OK. So I'm going to try.
6:29
I'm going to try. Here we go.
6:30
OK. I apologize to everyone in all
6:33
of Algeria, Marhaba that. Sounds right.
6:36
It felt right. Yeah, I'm pretty sure because
6:39
it's. They have like two or three
6:40
national languages, I can't remember.
6:42
The big one was. Arabic.
6:45
Arabic, yeah. Salaam.
6:46
But Berber is also a national language there.
6:50
Yeah. And there was another one that
6:52
was like, not a national language, but a lot of people
6:54
spoke it. Well, anyhow, I'm really excited
6:56
that we can teach you all a little bit of geography that we
6:59
are only just learning and world facts.
7:02
We don't even know if Morocco's in it, but I'm pretty sure it
7:04
is. But it doesn't matter.
7:06
I mean, it does, but we'll look at that another time.
7:09
So, yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
7:12
OK. But that was a exciting way to,
7:17
you know, come on board today was to see that.
7:19
And, you know, I'm feeling a little, maybe a little tired,
7:24
you know, right now, which is OK.
7:26
I kind of, although we are recording this early, I feel
7:30
like I have a early Halloween hangover.
7:32
For like pre Halloween. Pre Halloween hangover, Yeah
7:36
from the. Candy, you're gonna eat.
7:37
Well. Your body is preparing for a
7:43
sugar overload. Yes, it it could be.
7:47
It could be. Viewing people from all over the
7:50
world may not fully understand the insanity of Halloween
7:56
celebrations here in the United States, but they are very
7:59
intense. Yes.
8:01
Like, people go crazy to we decorate our houses.
8:05
Not everybody. Well, lots of people do.
8:07
We dress ourselves and our children up in costumes and we
8:11
walk around in the neighborhood door to door or knocking on the
8:14
door or ringing the doorbell and saying trick or treat.
8:16
Yep, nobody really does trick all that much except our
8:19
neighbor. Do you have a neighbor trick?
8:22
Most people just hand out candy. Yep, Yep.
8:24
Do you? Have like a favorite candy
8:25
memory from when you were a kid. What I remember after Halloween
8:30
was having like we used to go trick or treating and this isn't
8:33
a Halloween episode or anything like that, but well.
8:35
It is going to be Halloween tomorrow, so it's kind of Fair
8:37
game. But not for our listeners.
8:39
So this is, but what we used to do is we would grab pillowcases
8:43
because those would really, really hold up and grab all of
8:46
the candy and you could, you know, kind of really drag that
8:48
around the neighborhood. But I remember just sitting
8:51
there with the big hoard of candy, you know, dumping it out
8:56
of the pillowcase and sorting, you know, until like what I
9:00
really like and what I kind of like and what I don't want it
9:06
all, all of that. And so me and my sisters had a
9:11
different strategy for this. OK.
9:13
What I really liked, I always ate right away.
9:15
And I don't know what my oldest sister did because I wasn't
9:18
paying any attention, but my other sister who I grew up with,
9:23
would save her favorite candy till the end.
9:26
So we'd be sitting there, you know, well into probably mid
9:30
November, end of November, and she'd still be pulling out
9:32
Reese's peanut butter cups. And I would be so jealous 'cause
9:36
I'm like, got nothing. I got Twizzlers.
9:39
This is disgusting. Twizzlers.
9:41
Are not disgusting. They're OK.
9:43
Licorice is good. OK.
9:45
But if you have a bag full of candy as a kid, was it, what
9:48
number were you going with that? Well, that wasn't first.
9:52
No, that was a leftover. My very leading question that I
9:55
gave to you because I wanted to answer it for myself as my
9:59
selfishness would have my favorite memories of candy as a
10:03
kid and I don't remember if I know one of them happened every
10:06
year. This guy used to make popcorn
10:10
balls in the neighborhood. Yes.
10:12
They were delicious. Also, did popcorn balls still
10:15
exist? That was like a thing back in.
10:16
The Oh yeah, but I don't know, back in the day they were hard
10:19
and crunchy. I never.
10:21
Stopped not the fresh ones because the fresh ones and I I
10:25
think he used was it caramel? I don't know.
10:29
I was. There they were delicious.
10:30
And then there was at least one year that we found a house that
10:33
did caramel apples. Of course you did.
10:36
Which was awesome of. Course you did.
10:38
But I don't remember finding that every year.
10:40
I never had that in my neighborhood, but we had tons of
10:42
candy, tons of candy. So but it's just most things I
10:45
would stick around for a while. My dad would frequently steal
10:50
candy. He would also his favorite, it
10:52
seemed like was the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
10:55
So I. Thought it was Tootsie Rolls.
10:57
No, no, He likes Tootsie Rolls. If he was buying candy, it would
11:00
be Tootsie Rolls, probably less expensive or what have you,
11:04
because you know, Reese's peanut butter Cups.
11:05
Those are like Creme de la Creme right there.
11:09
You know, you can't be popping those like candy, but you can.
11:13
You can. You can.
11:15
But that would be one of the reasons why I would eat mine
11:16
quick, because I didn't want my dad to steal them.
11:18
And so my sister, who was such a good saver all the time, she
11:23
would know how many she'd have. And every once in a while, one
11:26
would be not, you know, one would be missing.
11:28
And we all knew who did it. But I didn't give my dad that
11:31
opportunity. I'd eat them all.
11:32
Probably I don't steal candy from my kid.
11:35
Because you don't need to. We, we.
11:38
It'd be fun. We have kind of a candy heavy
11:40
household here, so. Be on the candy.
11:42
Yeah, all year round, so. It's always Halloween it.
11:46
Is always Halloween. From the candy perspective.
11:48
We try to clear it out during, you know, between holidays, but.
11:52
I wonder how much like candy as a market share of the total year
11:59
is sold like in the month of October.
12:02
I bet you it's a lot. Don't know, but I did hear that
12:06
there was some issues with like the bigger chocolate company
12:11
brands right before Halloween. They were discounting their
12:14
candy. I did not happen to see that,
12:17
but they had, the prices were high, I mean.
12:20
Maybe they were discounting it to like the stores that sold
12:23
them, but the stores that sold them weren't discounting them
12:25
to. Consumers.
12:26
I don't know, I I happened to go to a larger grocery store the
12:31
day before Halloween and they were already taking down their
12:33
Halloween candy and putting up Christmas candy.
12:36
Oh, and. It's very different candy.
12:39
Very different, different color packaging went from orange and
12:43
black to red and green. And I I was, you know, Halloween
12:48
hadn't even passed yet. I also like to appreciate a
12:51
whole another holiday in there personally, but a little.
12:53
Bit of a little bit of Thanksgiving going on.
12:56
Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's that's probably
12:59
my second favorite holiday, Thanksgiving.
13:02
I like the food holidays. What can I say?
13:04
Would you like food? Girl likes to eat.
13:07
So does a boy. Is that a boy likes to eat?
13:10
Can you say that? I don't know, I.
13:12
I just said it. I just was saying a girl likes
13:14
to eat because I'm a girl. I enjoy.
13:16
Eating and I also. Like, I think most people enjoy
13:18
eating. Yeah, but you love.
13:20
Eating. I love eating.
13:22
It's my favorite thing to do. Do you remember on the Jetsons
13:26
when they would like make food and come out and like pill form?
13:29
I thought, I don't want to live in that future.
13:31
I don't remember that. Yeah, I think it was the
13:34
Jetsons. That does sound sort of
13:35
depressing. Yeah, I don't want to live in a
13:37
world where I can't enjoy the delicious food.
13:39
I'll, you know, I mean, not as often as I want to.
13:42
I. Would be OK if you could just
13:43
request a food and it would magically appear like Star Trek.
13:46
I don't know. I'll have to trust you that that
13:48
had they. Did they had machines?
13:50
They were like 3D printers for food.
13:52
Oh, OK. But it was more magical, like
13:54
you would say I want a this and it would it would go and then
13:59
the thing showed up like in one second.
14:00
OK, so you'd be like being me food, Scotty.
14:02
Yeah, being me, whatever kind of drinks or foods you wanted.
14:06
You're not proud of me for knowing the being me, Scotty.
14:08
Oh, you were proud of yourself, though.
14:09
I was so proud. Look at that.
14:11
OK. You know, it's not like a huge,
14:16
widely known thing. I don't know if people say talk
14:18
about that anymore like the beam me up.
14:20
About Star Trek. Yes, Star Trek.
14:24
It's still sort of a big thing. Good, I'm glad.
14:27
Me too. Yeah, so that reminds me of a
14:31
Star Crunch Candy, Do you remember Star Crunch?
14:34
I do remember Star. Crunch.
14:35
It's a Little Debbie thing, isn't it?
14:36
I think so, yeah. It had the little Rice Rice
14:39
Krispies inside of the chocolate thing.
14:42
It might still exist. Why am I thinking moon pie?
14:45
Isn't that like a like a yellow? Like a cookie with like a yellow
14:51
covering. So that, yes, but also that as a
14:53
regular cookie. But that's a mass produced one.
14:56
I think it's got. Yeah, we had some around here
14:58
not that long ago. But yeah, I don't know.
15:02
Lots of good sweets. I like the sweets.
15:05
Tomorrow will be an epic day of sweets.
15:07
It will, but for everybody else, it'll it.
15:09
They'll be in their Halloween hangover.
15:11
Yeah, you're in a pre hangover. I am.
15:13
Because I've already started eating candy.
15:14
You've got it. Too.
15:15
We've been doing research for this episode.
15:17
Yes, so much research because we knew we were going to talk about
15:19
candy. Yeah.
15:20
And we're, and we're talking about probably the thing that
15:23
sells the most and is the most coveted of all the things you
15:26
can get at Halloween, which is chocolate in all of its magical
15:30
forms. Yes, yes.
15:32
We had just had a bunch of people over and I always make
15:36
sure that we are good hosts. Yes, and have plenty for
15:39
everybody. We do and we do.
15:41
I had a bucket of candy and there was the chocolate.
15:44
Cauldron. OK, sure Cauldron it is.
15:48
It's a really great cauldron. I'm very happy with my I don't
15:50
remember where I bought it, but anyhow, apparently they a couple
15:54
people had said all the best candy was on the bottom and that
15:58
I had done that on purpose. And I said no, I really maybe
16:01
just was lazy. But when I looked I thought you
16:04
know what? Yeah, cuz 3 Musketeers were
16:06
right at the bottom. You love that one the most.
16:08
It's so a lot. It's it's up there.
16:11
I like the, the sweetness of it and also kind of the simplicity,
16:18
you know, doesn't have all that other stuff in there, you know,
16:20
getting stuck in your teeth. Right before this, I had to do
16:24
some research. I had a, a very local Minnesotan
16:27
candy. I realized a lot of people won't
16:29
know this great candy company we have called Pearson's Candy.
16:33
That's true. But they make these.
16:35
It's like a Maple nut chocolate candy thing.
16:39
It's like a turtle, but it's like Maple and nougat instead
16:43
of. Oh, a Maple nougat, caramel
16:47
pecan. Yeah, yeah, they're delicious.
16:50
Really good, really good. If you have any desire you and
16:54
you're not in Minnesota, you should totally go look them up.
16:57
Oh Pearson, sponsor us 'cause giving you a shout out.
17:00
Definitely take some free samples of Pearson.
17:02
'S We have even sent like boxes of Pearson's candy to friends
17:06
who were out of state because we knew that they needed their
17:09
Pearson's nut rolls. Who doesn't need a Pearson's nut
17:12
roll? So good, So good when they're
17:15
fresh. Agreed.
17:16
If they're not fresh, I don't know.
17:19
And then at least. I did before the episode.
17:21
Yeah. Was also delicious.
17:23
I had a couple of little fun. Size 100 Grand Bars.
17:27
Oh yeah, those are good. I only recently got into 100
17:30
grand. Oh, I think they were like one
17:32
of my mom's favorite as a kid because she was always talking
17:35
about them at Halloween time. She's not much of a candy
17:38
person. No, she's and not chocolate.
17:40
She's not much of A chocolate person at all.
17:43
We had lots of chocolate folks in my household growing up, so I
17:46
sure did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:48
There was always candy around, which is OK.
17:51
The one I don't think I ever tried the 100 grand if I had
17:56
them in my bag because I hadn't had them before.
17:59
And. What a bummer.
18:01
That's OK. I mean, I tried the Babe Ruth
18:03
and I didn't like those. I like those.
18:05
I still don't. Reminds me of Goonies.
18:08
Yeah. When he says root baby, I
18:11
haven't seen that. That movie in a while.
18:13
Well, it's an old movie. Yeah, One eyed Willie the
18:16
Pirate. Maybe one year we'll dress up
18:19
like The Goonies that. Would be fun.
18:21
Yeah, we'll need a Can I be One Eyed Willie?
18:23
Sure. What's the grandma's name?
18:25
Or the mom's name. I don't know.
18:28
I can't remember. I mean I could be.
18:29
Her from the 80s I don't. Red hair, didn't she?
18:33
Or am I totally misremembering her?
18:35
I I really don't. I haven't seen the movie in a
18:37
very long time either. Yeah, remembering hair colors.
18:40
Yeah, I don't know. We need a big squad though to
18:42
really reproduce. If we could get all of our
18:45
friends to dress up as the whole movie, that would be hilarious.
18:48
It would be, It would be, I don't know.
18:50
Or maybe some of our listeners could volunteer.
18:53
That could. Be and do like an online costume
18:55
thing. Next year, there's always next.
18:57
Year, I don't know. Next year, reach out.
19:00
And again, we're not talking about Halloween.
19:02
So sad, but we are talking. About we are talking about
19:04
chocolate. Yes, chocolate.
19:07
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate the best of all candy, so it's
19:10
the most. It's superior.
19:13
Yeah, it's because, like, I love all the candy all the time.
19:17
That's not true. There's some candies I really
19:18
don't like, but I really like a lot of candy.
19:21
But chocolate is the most reliable.
19:24
Like you kind of always like chocolate.
19:26
There's rarely a time in my life where if somebody handed me a
19:29
chocolate, I would say no, rarely.
19:32
I've gone on special missions for chocolate because, as we've
19:36
said a couple times, I like to watch cooking shows.
19:40
So if something new is coming through the cooking show or
19:44
through whatever medias exist out there, I'm frequently
19:47
wanting to try it. And years ago, rose chocolate
19:53
came out. Do you remember that Ruby
19:55
Chocolate Ruby? Chocolate I do.
19:57
Maybe not that many years ago, but Ruby chocolate came out and
20:00
we were headed to a place and I researched before we went to the
20:04
place to see if they had Ruby chocolate 'cause I really wanted
20:07
to try it, OK? And 'cause they were saying it
20:10
had like a fruitier flavor and it's supposed to be a real
20:13
chocolate. I don't know.
20:15
And then we went and we found this place and we bought some
20:18
Ruby chocolate. I was really disappointed.
20:22
I'm going to guess based on your rose comment earlier, it's rose
20:25
flavored. No, you had some.
20:27
No, I remember. I don't know.
20:29
I've tried all the chocolates you've tried.
20:30
We had gone to a fancy chocolate to your place and they.
20:33
Another chocolate is that I've been disappointed in spicy
20:35
chocolate. Like it's fine, but I don't like
20:40
want a whole bar of it. I will say this about that.
20:44
I think most of the time when you get that it's in a more
20:47
darker chocolate, OK. So for me personally, that's not
20:51
going to be like the greatest but but I don't mind.
20:56
A recent addition to the world of chocolate, at least for us,
20:58
that you have also discovered probably a cooking show and have
21:01
purchased many varieties of in the last six months.
21:04
Varieties. Different name, name brands or
21:07
whatever. I'll see.
21:08
Is the Dubai chocolate? No, only one variety because.
21:13
Brand name, I said. Oh, there's only one brand name
21:15
I bought. Really.
21:16
Yes. Well, now you can find them more
21:18
often, but it was the hot ticket item and like, yeah, so that's.
21:23
Delicious. It really is, but stupid
21:27
expensive it is. It might be cheaper now, but
21:31
like for a bar like this and I again that's.
21:33
A huge. I don't know what is that like a
21:36
six inches, 7 inches, 8 inches? That's a big chocolate bar.
21:40
Just Yeah, that's. It it's not a small bar.
21:42
I'm not saying it is, but like a bar like that.
21:45
I think when I was buying it, which was like kind of during
21:48
the whole TikTok, Instagram, you know, crazy.
21:52
Oh, it has. It has a like a moment.
21:53
Yes, people would open the candy bar up.
21:56
It would be wrapped in gold and then they would like break in
21:59
and show the snap. A lot of times the candy or the
22:02
chocolate would have oh God, I'm sure I even have a bar still
22:05
upstairs. The chocolate would have, you
22:07
know, like a really pretty, you know, color design on the top
22:10
and it'd be good quality milk chocolate with the pistachio.
22:16
And is it Oh gosh, like it's a small like wafery type thing or
22:23
like FILO, but I don't think it is technically FILO, but it's.
22:28
What is Filo? Filo, it's a dough.
22:31
It's baklava. You know you have all those
22:33
layers. Oh yeah.
22:34
That's filo dough. OK, so it's like that, but I
22:37
think it's like starts with AK. It's something kind of like
22:42
that. Anyhow, it's chopped up in there
22:43
really small with the with the pistachio paste, so.
22:46
Long as it's not kilo dough. I I know no, I maybe is it
22:53
Keffer or Keffer or I don't, I don't remember what's in there.
22:56
But anyhow really good but the bar like that is at least 20
23:01
bucks. Also, I would just like to point
23:03
out that I remembered all the time when we're on vacation, if
23:06
we can find new chocolate, we do.
23:09
Yeah. And then we eat it.
23:12
Yeah, like the last time we went to Mexico, we bought all the
23:15
Mexican chocolates, and many of those were good, some we did not
23:20
love. That's where I first tried spicy
23:21
chocolate. I was not on board on that one
23:23
because you and our daughter really like dark chocolate.
23:27
Love it. I know, I know.
23:31
Yeah. And then also when we were in
23:34
Deadwood, SD. Yes, we need to give a shout out
23:39
there. First of all, let's give a shout
23:41
out to Oprah Winfrey, who may may watch this in her.
23:46
Life. Why not?
23:47
Why not? She likes a little, you know,
23:49
something that's new and different.
23:52
I just need to get on her radar all.
23:54
Right. Just just Oprah's radar.
23:56
So a friend of a friend, if you know Oprah, just you'd be like,
23:58
hey, check these people out. They've been together forever
24:00
and they argue about literally nothing important.
24:02
I feel like it's harder to find some sort of relation to her
24:06
than it is to Kevin Bacon. That's probably true.
24:09
It's 6° of seven, 6° of Kevin Bacon, 6° of separation.
24:13
To Kevin. Bacon to Kevin, Was that the
24:15
theme of the movie? Of what movie?
24:17
6° of separation. I didn't say that.
24:20
You just what? No, no, I'm sorry.
24:23
What? I didn't.
24:24
I don't even know what this movie is.
24:25
The whole time you've been referencing that, you thought it
24:28
was just a colloquialism and you were going to randomly just say
24:30
yeah Oh my goodness you precious thing.
24:33
What's wrong with that? I love that you can still
24:35
surprise me after so long. Years.
24:37
Well, anyhow, I feel like there's.
24:39
Hold on, I got to answer your question.
24:41
Oh, what's the question? You said, what's that?
24:44
Oh, I stopped caring and. Then oh, you moved on.
24:47
OK, perfect. Well it's a movie about 6° of
24:52
separation. The theory being like there's
24:55
six people between you and anyone else on planet Earth.
24:57
OK, well, I. And Kevin Bacon was a theme in
25:00
that movie and I want to see now.
25:02
It's been a long time, 20 years ago maybe.
25:04
I think Will Smith was in the movie playing like a normal
25:06
person and he found out that he had 6° of separation between him
25:11
and Kevin Bacon. I think I'm 3° away from Kevin
25:14
Bacon, yeah. Will Smith chew on that?
25:16
Yeah, 3 Anyhow, but we were talking about the research.
25:21
South Dakota. Yeah.
25:22
Yeah. So before we went to South
25:24
Dakota, Yeah, I had and Oprah. Yes.
25:27
And Oprah. Sorry.
25:28
Wow. I had done research to find out
25:30
about some of the places that we're staying, and I had seen
25:34
the thing about this candy store that Oprah gets truffles from
25:40
every year. You told me it was because she
25:43
either had received it in AI think you called it a swag bag
25:47
at the Oscars or or gave it away in a swag bag on her show.
25:51
One of the OR both, I don't know.
25:52
It could be both, but yeah, she received it in a swag bag I
25:55
believe, and then gave it out. But to let everybody know now
25:59
we've we've shouted out our Pearsons, but this one.
26:02
It's way bigger for us. It's more special.
26:06
That's more luxury. It's definitely more luxurious.
26:10
Is the chubby chipmunk. The chubby chipmunk.
26:13
Yes. You heard that right, people.
26:15
If you ever find yourself in the area or you want to just go wild
26:18
and hit up the Internet, they do sell it there on their website.
26:21
We get a box of truffles every year for Valentine's Day.
26:25
We do. We pick up.
26:25
Because of true love. Yeah, well, it's a special
26:29
thing. It's a special thing that they
26:30
have that, you know, just different, all kinds of
26:33
delicious truffles. And if Oprah is into it, I'm
26:36
into it. So and their signature one is
26:39
called Chipmunk Treasure and it has a dark chocolate shell with
26:47
a milk chocolate center and then it has on the top of it, I think
26:53
it's like little pieces of both of those chocolates.
26:55
And is it almonds? Nope, Toffee.
26:59
Oh, it's toffee. That's not chocolate.
27:00
Some sort of a nut. Pecans.
27:04
Pecans and then also gold gold dust flake powder so it looks
27:09
very shimmery. There's a little decorative
27:14
swoosh of probably like caramel. On top as well.
27:18
Super. Pretty.
27:19
I want one right now. You have to wait till
27:21
Valentine's. Day till Valentine's Day.
27:22
Yeah, we have put a it's, it's not a cheap thing to choose to
27:26
do, but that's why we have it for a special occasion.
27:30
That's true. But that's one of the few fancy
27:34
things that I'm into with chocolate.
27:36
For the most part I am just a plain old fashioned.
27:39
And a candy. Sorry.
27:42
Bar, go ahead, go ahead. My bad, I was.
27:45
Going to interrupt and then I realized I shouldn't and then I
27:47
interrupted, but not interrupted.
27:49
I did. I'm going to not speak.
27:50
Now it's not fun, but I I just really like, you know, plain old
27:53
fashioned candy, not old fashioned.
27:55
Well, there's some old fashioned candies, but a regular like mass
27:59
produced Hershey's, Mars, Reese's, whoever type of candy
28:05
bar. That's my favorite way of
28:07
getting chocolate. What I was so going to rudely
28:10
interrupt with was that particular item, the chipmunk
28:14
treasure truffle from the chubby chipmunk.
28:17
Again, love to be one of your one of your people.
28:21
I mean, if you want me to advertise, if you want Amber to
28:23
do a little dance, we could do like a TikTok thing.
28:27
I would do whatever to get some some free chubbies in my life.
28:30
But it's one of the few times you and I agree that dark
28:33
chocolate and milk chocolate are good because that one marries
28:37
them so well. It really does.
28:39
It's like perfect. It does.
28:41
They had this one that I I will never forget.
28:45
They called it the Nugget. The nugget.
28:49
Yeah, So if you're ever in the area at a certain time of year,
28:52
it's a special truffle. They have apparently it doesn't
28:55
happen to be released during Valentine's Day, but it was it
28:59
was the best one. We have been back since we first
29:03
went to the Chubby Chipmunk and we have gotten more, so it's
29:07
worth it. But South Dakota, where did?
29:09
Where's the Deadwood? Deadwood.
29:10
Oh, do we have any listeners in South Dakota?
29:14
Because if we don't, a lot of times when we mention a state,
29:17
if they're not on the list, they just sort of magically appear.
29:21
Sometimes they don't. We don't.
29:22
Mentioned Massachusetts and they didn't appear.
29:24
Yeah, just really a bummer for them.
29:27
So far. But South Dakota, you never
29:29
know. They might show up next time
29:30
they are. Neighbors.
29:31
I'm just trying to think though, what is the name of their
29:33
mascot? This is really nation.
29:34
Probably not very interesting for other people.
29:36
That's probably true, but you know what else they had there?
29:39
Which they no longer have because it was a limited run.
29:42
What's up? The most amazing dark chocolate
29:45
bar I've ever had because it's like, oh, it was so good.
29:52
It was from a, it was from a chocolate farm and I can't
29:55
remember South America. And the chocolate bar had a name
29:59
and it was the Maranyon. I think that was its name,
30:03
pretty sure. And that particular chocolate
30:06
bar, like 1, I think it was there's like a, there's like a
30:09
world chocolate convention or something like that.
30:12
You would know this better than me.
30:13
And they want like it was the chocolate bar of pick the year,
30:17
I don't know, 2010 or something like that.
30:20
And it won first place. Best chocolate bar on planet
30:23
Earth. That doesn't mean you like to
30:27
drink coffee. I'm not trying to change your
30:29
mind. I didn't like that, that
30:31
chocolate. That's OK That's because it's
30:32
dark chocolate. You know what?
30:34
I really would. You don't have a taste for the
30:35
finer things in chocolate. I mean, I might, you know, but
30:39
here's the thing. Maybe I just have a more
30:41
youthful taste for chocolate. OK?
30:44
Yeah, Yeah, that's what it is. OK.
30:46
I don't need it to taste like coffee.
30:49
But I was thinking when I was a kid, one of the things I always
30:52
wanted to do. Youthful.
30:54
Yes. Well, our youthful child likes.
30:57
Whatever. But I was thinking of, you know,
31:00
fantasies when I was a child. And while I disliked the entire
31:04
movie, what I would love is to like, go down a chocolate river.
31:08
Yes. Yeah.
31:10
With like a, like a, like a, like a scoop, Yeah.
31:12
And you could just lean your hand over the side and just take
31:15
a little scoop of that chocolate river and drink it.
31:18
What kind of chocolate do you think was in the Willy Wonka
31:21
chocolate? River.
31:22
You'd have to think it was melted Wonka chocolate bars,
31:25
right? Have you ever had a Wonka bar?
31:27
Yes, I think it's is it made by it's either Hershey's or
31:31
Cadbury's I think owns it now. I don't know if I've ever had a
31:34
Wonka bar. OK.
31:37
Well, new research to be done. Maybe yes, yes, I've enjoyed
31:41
researching so far. You're.
31:42
Not going to get the golden ticket.
31:43
I hate to break it to you. I don't want to go with that
31:46
creepy Willy Wonka and his Oompa Loompas.
31:49
I do, so it's fine. I just want to see what that's
31:52
like. You know, the, I think of
31:55
there's a, a buffet place around here and several years ago, not,
32:02
you know, maybe 2019. So you can imagine the
32:05
difference at a buffet in 2019 to now.
32:07
But they had. Like it existed in 2019 and
32:11
doesn't now. Probably still does, but they
32:13
had a chocolate fountain, you know, which is it, in my
32:17
opinion, a really gross idea to have a buffet and all these
32:22
kids. I'm a chocolate girl, right?
32:23
Like I'm watching all these kids just kind of going like this
32:26
with the like swooshing out, you know, like a marshmallow
32:30
directly in the fountain and all these things.
32:32
And I'm like, you're not washing your hands.
32:34
So that's disgusting. That used to be a bigger craze,
32:37
Chocolate fountains, you'd go to events and stuff and they'd have
32:40
them. But I don't remember last time I
32:42
saw one. Maybe we're not going to.
32:43
Think I would partake? I'm sure I would have until I
32:47
saw those kids doing that and, you know, like no supervision.
32:49
I don't. Know man, having done work in
32:52
our garden pond and dealing with pumps and seeing what happens to
32:59
a pump that pumps a liquid water of all the things and how dirty
33:03
just water can get. And.
33:05
Then you've worked in concessions.
33:07
You know what? You know what a a soda fountain
33:10
can look like without cleaning? Yeah, but you imagine what a
33:12
chocolate fountain could look like if it wasn't properly cared
33:15
for. Well, it would be, I mean, I'm
33:17
just going to, I'm going to put the faith out into the world
33:19
that they're caring for properly because it is disgusting and it
33:22
would break if nothing else. But the big thing there, though,
33:25
the big lesson there is, well, when I was a kid, I loved going
33:29
to the any buffet without parental guidance.
33:33
Maybe sometimes it's OK if we guide our children at a buffet.
33:39
There's not a lot of buffets left though, I don't think.
33:41
I don't know, I don't know. Which maybe that's OK.
33:44
Yeah, that's OK. I mean I, I if.
33:47
There was a chocolate bar buffet.
33:48
There are candy buffets and things like that dessert buffet.
33:51
Well, yeah. Within a regular buffet.
33:54
Chocolate bar buffet that had different types of chocolate?
33:57
I would be interested. I'm sure you would.
34:00
Well, Luke, let me ask you a question.
34:03
And now folks, the moment you've all been waiting for in this
34:07
corner, claiming to weigh in at 135 lbs, currently wearing the
34:12
maybe last of the spooky uniforms she's wearing a ghost
34:16
sweat suit with her beautiful red hair is here yet again to
34:22
battle me. And in this corner we have Luke.
34:26
And he, conveniently to talk, did not talk about the wins and
34:30
losses. That's on purpose.
34:32
We but I'll talk about he's got this really great new hoodie on
34:36
That is that was a heart Frankenstein.
34:39
With stitches. Yep, Yep.
34:41
And he's coming in hard with his beard right here.
34:44
Oh, you must have shaved or trimmed recently.
34:47
Oh, OK. Anyhow, but he I did not want to
34:51
talk about the wins and losses. We've been in a really tight tie
34:56
for a long time and I pulled ahead.
35:00
I've got six wins into his five wins and we have tons of ties,
35:05
which is fine. It just means that we're
35:07
somewhere right along the path here, I think.
35:11
But I'm winning. Yeah, I'm not thrilled about all
35:14
that. So now the question I have for
35:17
you Luke, has to do with that chocolate buffet bar.
35:22
Chocolate bar buffet Sure that you were talking about and if
35:27
there is a chocolate bar buffet? Yeah.
35:31
You're going to have several types of chocolate.
35:33
Sure. What are you going for?
35:35
Well, I could get really specific.
35:39
I'm saying like I'm. Going to be less specific.
35:41
OK, so I'm going to stop you and give you your categories.
35:44
OK, categorize it. So we talked about Ruby
35:47
chocolate, white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and
35:53
the chocolate. Now I need to try blonde
35:55
chocolate. There's another one.
35:57
Isn't that just white chocolate? No.
35:59
What's blonde chocolate? I know, I guarantee.
36:02
You we'll see that in our house in the next 7 days and I'm I'm
36:06
ready for it cuz I'll tell. Like I said, I'm gonna try it.
36:09
Do you put some chocolate in front of me?
36:10
I'm eating it. OK, my answer is actually quite
36:13
simple for me. OK, dark chocolate.
36:17
Now there is a broad range of dark chocolate.
36:22
Yes. And different consistencies and
36:26
there's all kinds of different makers and shapes you can get it
36:30
in. So I just want to be clear.
36:32
Well, the shapes can matter. So like we just got back from
36:35
Universal and they have Harry Potter Land and at Harry Potter
36:39
Land they sell the chocolate frogs.
36:41
The chocolate frogs they sell, while I like chocolate and the
36:45
dark chocolate they have is good.
36:46
There's a good amount of sugar in it still.
36:48
So you have the the sort of the bitter, smoky dark chocolate,
36:51
but you also have the sugary sweet, but it's solid chocolate
36:56
and it's like 2 inches thick. That is too much to bite
37:00
through. I just, it's too like the it's,
37:03
it's like it's climbing a mountain.
37:05
So I'm not interested in large thicknesses of chocolate.
37:10
So the, like I said earlier, the best dark chocolate bar I've
37:14
ever had. You can't get anymore because
37:15
the whatever doesn't exist. The I don't know if the farm
37:18
doesn't exist where it came from, whatever, but I like a
37:23
dark chocolate that is not too dark, which oddly enough, our
37:28
child likes chocolate darker than I do.
37:31
And I drink coffee black every morning.
37:33
So it literally, she had one, I think it said it was 88% dark.
37:40
Yeah. And it was like more.
37:42
It was almost like eating coffee.
37:45
It was it was a jarring experience.
37:48
So I'm not a fan of that. I do also love milk chocolate,
37:53
don't get me wrong. I don't love white chocolate
37:57
because I think technically it's not chocolate.
38:00
Isn't that true? I've heard that, but I don't
38:03
know. I don't.
38:04
Know the science in it. Yeah.
38:06
Yeah, I think you said that you thought it might just be
38:08
technically fudge or something where it's not.
38:09
No Fudge. No.
38:11
No. OK, well, in any event, I would
38:14
pick dark chocolate if I'm at the chocolate bar buffet.
38:17
And that's because it does give you sweetness, but it also gives
38:22
you some smokiness if it's if it's good and it gives you some
38:26
bitterness, but not too much There's it's got to kind of be
38:30
like that. It's like a Goldilocks situation
38:32
where I want it to be darker than a milk chocolate.
38:35
So I get those additional complexities in the chocolate
38:39
and not too far dark. So I lose out on that sort of
38:43
creamy, buttery, sugary part that I do so love about a milk
38:49
chocolate. So for me, it's like a dark
38:52
chocolate that's just right. And I don't know what percentage
38:56
that is because I haven't done the research.
38:59
I mean, I've eaten it, I'm certain, but I don't actually
39:01
know. Like there probably is a number
39:03
of dark chocolate that I like. And I bet you it's somewhere
39:05
close to the middle because I don't know what percentage milk
39:07
chocolate is. I don't know that there is a
39:10
percentage to milk chocolate. Tell you which one's real
39:13
lowest. Those little things you get at
39:14
the gas station which are disgusting.
39:17
I like those little chocolate. They taste like sugar with a
39:19
hint of chocolate. That's OK.
39:21
That's not OK. It's not chocolate.
39:23
It's like a. It's like.
39:24
Chocolate flavored. It's like chocolate whispered to
39:26
the sugar. It's chocolate flavored using
39:30
Yeah. I mean, you've seen that.
39:32
I've seen those candies where it's like chocolate.
39:34
That's like when something says made with real juice and you're
39:37
like, wait, I'm, I'm drinking juice.
39:39
What do you mean it's made with real juice?
39:42
I think it's more like when things that say that they're
39:43
natural flavored. Oh sure, it doesn't tell you
39:46
what it means. Right, right.
39:48
OK, well, here's the thing. OK, do do you?
39:52
I mean, you know my answer, but the audience?
39:55
They're about to learn. Might want to know my answer of
39:57
all of those things without this being my official answer.
40:01
OK, if this was today, this very moment, I would try the blonde
40:05
chocolate because I've never had it before but.
40:07
So try something new is on your radar.
40:09
I would do that, yeah. However, however, I gotta go
40:13
milk chocolate because while everything you were saying about
40:18
like dark chocolate has to be just right, milk chocolate is
40:22
consistent and delicious all the time.
40:24
Like they're not sitting there saying this is the percentage of
40:27
milk we have or this is the percentage of chocolate we have.
40:30
They're like, dude, this is just reliable good sweetness.
40:33
And when it comes to candy, I don't want it my candy to taste
40:38
smoky. Like I want my candy to be
40:40
sweet. I don't want it bitter to taste
40:41
like coffee. I want it to taste like
40:44
chocolate, even if it is only in chocolate flavoring.
40:48
I want a good sweet treat. That's why I'm going for it.
40:52
I'm not going for I don't, you know, I, I don't really like
40:56
those typically, although there are a couple of bougie
40:58
chocolates I've had in general, you know, it's got to be regular
41:02
price or even cheaper chocolate than that.
41:04
You know, like dollar store. Well, now dollar 25 or dollar 50
41:07
store like candy from there that's chocolate flavored.
41:11
It's gross. It's so good.
41:13
I love it. No, I want to get a little buzz
41:15
from the sugar off of it. I don't need the, you know, like
41:18
that's. Just eat sugar then.
41:19
Well, sometimes that's, well, actually I don't have to because
41:22
I can buy it flavored. But you like interesting
41:26
flavors. That's the thing I don't
41:27
understand fully about your lack of love for dark chocolate.
41:31
Because you like spicy and you like real spicy food.
41:35
I know. And you like like sour like.
41:37
Candies and stuff. Sour candies.
41:39
So it's not like you don't like an interesting flavor, which is
41:42
why I don't understand. Yeah, but the chocolate, dark
41:45
chocolate is really different. I don't if I'm looking for
41:48
something sweet, you know what? That's the thing.
41:50
I want whatever it is that I'm tasting to be reliable and to
41:53
taste what I think it should be tasting like.
41:55
Don't surprise me. I don't try to like throw in
41:58
like it's fancy. So it, you know, like I just no
42:01
thank you. No, thank you.
42:03
I mean, it is. Sure, the dark chocolate I am OK
42:06
with sometimes and only and I in general.
42:10
I'm not one who says that shape matters for chocolate because it
42:13
doesn't for milk chocolate. But the small Hershey's special
42:16
dark chocolate? It's OK.
42:20
I agree. Hershey's special dark is great.
42:22
It's OK. I mean, if you were gonna pick,
42:23
if you were gonna pick which dark chocolate is the right one
42:27
to get someone interested in dark chocolate, that would be
42:29
the place to start. Cuz that's a little past milk.
42:33
Yeah, yeah. Not too far.
42:35
It's like European chocolate. Well, maybe European chocolate
42:39
is mostly a little darker. It could be, It depends.
42:41
It depends. Is not the chips you put in a
42:46
chocolate chip cookie dark chocolate?
42:48
That's semi sweet. Doesn't that mean it's
42:50
bittersweet? I don't know if it's semi sweet
42:53
so maybe I don't know if it's dark chocolate but.
42:56
It's not milk chocolate because you make those one because.
42:58
You can buy milk chocolate chips.
43:01
Weird. Yeah, but.
43:03
So it's dark chocolate. Yeah.
43:05
But usually in that scenario, like with a cookie.
43:07
Well, you got other stuff. Yeah, you're putting other
43:09
sugars and things like that, so it's kind of matching up.
43:11
I love cookies. Yeah, I know you do.
43:13
I know you do. And soon you'll be closer to a
43:15
cookie season here soon. But right now we're talking
43:18
candy. We're talking chocolate.
43:20
The other thing I like about milk chocolate is it goes with
43:22
every, you know, like all of those things.
43:24
If you want peanut butter, peanut butter and milk
43:27
chocolate. Delicious.
43:28
Hold on. No, it's garbage.
43:31
Don't put dark chocolate disgustingness around peanut
43:36
butter. That's delicious.
43:37
No, it's. Not it's.
43:38
Not it's absolutely. Delicious.
43:40
I want to eat coffee and drink and peanut butter at the same
43:43
time. Would you drink a peanut butter
43:46
coffee drink? Who You're just That is the
43:49
weirdest. First of all, no coffee store
43:51
has ever done that that I'm aware of.
43:53
Now it might be time. Here you go, Starbucks.
43:56
It'd be peanut butter. Flavoring like coffee is not
43:59
going to melt actual peanut butter.
44:02
It probably separate. It be like peanut butter syrup.
44:04
It'd be gross. That sounds terrible, but those
44:08
Reese's the I really like those the thins, Reese's thins, the
44:12
little cups. They do I think sell them in
44:15
milk chocolate now but the first time I had it was dark chocolate
44:17
and they are delicious. No, they're not.
44:19
I mean, the peanut butter in the middle is fine, but the dark
44:23
chocolate, it's wrong. It just, it tastes wrong.
44:27
But milk chocolate and peanut butter?
44:30
Beautiful, beautiful combination.
44:32
And then the other one that I think is also good is going to
44:36
be, well, I can do a darker chocolate was mint, but you
44:39
know, you can do milk chocolate was mint and it's.
44:42
All those candies you brought back from Florida that you loved
44:45
are dark chocolate. I'm aware of this, but that is
44:47
not a vote because you had a. Whole Europe nostalgia thing
44:50
happening. There's a huge difference
44:52
between that. Plus that's like 90 but got you
44:54
a. Question is it not true that you
44:57
really like phaser mints? Of course I like phaser mints.
45:00
OK, they're made with dark chocolate.
45:01
But it doesn't mean that I would prefer dark chocolate milk
45:04
chocolate. I prefer milk chocolate to dark
45:07
chocolate. And every time that's not an on
45:09
its own question. Right.
45:10
That's like asking. Yeah, it's not.
45:11
I mean, just on its own, but even with other things in
45:15
general, you know, like with caramel.
45:17
Oh, dark chocolate sounds disgusting.
45:19
You gotta want milk chocolate with caramel.
45:22
Yeah, yeah. But maybe have I had dark
45:24
chocolate with roughly sounds? Terrible.
45:28
I know I would try it. Well, you might be OK with.
45:30
It on its own. On its own.
45:33
Every bar. The chocolate bar.
45:35
But you're so again, you're like, it needs to be so
45:37
specific, like the percentage of cacao and all that, like.
45:40
No, no, no, no, no. I'm specific that it can't be
45:42
too too dark. Because you like milk chocolate
45:44
better. No, absolutely not.
45:47
Like 100 times out of 100 and pick a dark chocolate but I
45:51
don't like the stuff that's too dark.
45:53
I'm gonna say based on our candy supply.
45:57
You buy the candy, that's a cheap, you're a cheap move.
46:01
Nope, Nope. I do appreciate that you buy me
46:04
dark chocolate when you're buying chocolate.
46:06
I never buy a dark chocolate. Buy our kitchen dark chocolate.
46:10
You just buy our kids stuff. Well, maybe she shares with me
46:12
then and. Yeah, I'm sure.
46:14
Well, I'm sure. Well, yeah, all that was the
46:17
argument for today. And we want you to help settle
46:20
which is clearly the superior chocolate, which must be milk
46:24
chocolate because it is sold at such high levels like I feel
46:28
like. It probably is sold more.
46:30
That doesn't mean it's better. Yes it does.
46:32
Things that are better sell more.
46:33
That's like saying Folgers is better than, I don't know, some
46:37
kind of gourmet coffee. Well, it's not better, just sold
46:39
more. No, you're saying because it's
46:41
cheaper. No, you're saying dark chocolate
46:43
in general. So I mean, if you're saying, OK,
46:45
well, now we got to back this up and pause for just a second.
46:47
Back that thing up. Yes, if you have a dollar milk
46:51
chocolate bar and a dollar dark chocolate.
46:55
Bar I'm not going to lie, I'm scared of both of them if
46:57
they're a dollar OK, OK, we'll. Fancy it up here a little?
47:01
A $2.00? Wow, is candy that expensive?
47:04
I'm sure it. Is OK a $2.00 milk chocolate bar
47:07
and a $2.00 dark chocolate bar? What are you pulling for?
47:12
I mean, I want to pick dark chocolate.
47:14
That's wise. But you know what?
47:15
Most of the world would pick milk.
47:18
That's why they sell them so much more.
47:20
It's more. Like apparently in Europe and
47:22
made with many other things milk chocolate and also here.
47:25
What if we're going to do some after episode research?
47:27
What if actually dark chocolate is sold more and you're wrong?
47:30
Sold more where? Here.
47:32
I don't know sure here or globally.
47:34
I know it's gotta be, I mean. You don't think the other places
47:37
count? Our viewers all over the world
47:39
might disagree with you. Whoa, whoa, I'm not.
47:42
They like dark chocolate. Well, anyhow, that is our
47:46
argument I think. Final.
47:48
Well, maybe even though you're still wrong.
47:50
I'm not. And dark chocolate is way
47:52
better. I don't wanna taste smoke and
47:55
coffee. No, no, you don't taste.
47:58
Hold on. OK, so we're clearly not done.
47:59
You don't like, eat a dark chocolate bar and go, oh, I
48:03
taste smoke and bitter. It's like if you have a complex,
48:08
like a dinner dish that has layers, there's a complexity to
48:13
it. Yes, there's sweet, there's
48:15
creamy, there's buttery. That's kind of the the feelings
48:18
and sensations. No, no feelings and sensations,
48:22
not like actually butter, but like those are the things that I
48:26
would associate with when I'm differentiating the two.
48:29
Those are the things I would associate specifically with milk
48:32
chocolate that I wouldn't specifically say is like only in
48:37
dark chocolate, but that's like kind of in both.
48:41
But milk chocolate seems to sort of stop there.
48:44
And obviously it's chocolate flavored.
48:46
We don't need to really point that out.
48:47
That's sort of obvious, but in dark chocolate you have all of
48:50
that and you have additional layers where there are hints of
48:54
It's like like when you go to a coffee store, you wouldn't know
48:57
this because you don't drink coffee, which checks out with a
49:00
not liking of dark chocolate you.
49:01
Have a bottle super long It's. Super long.
49:03
I'm gonna, I'm gonna wrap it up. I promise.
49:05
So, but like at a coffee store when you're buying coffee beans,
49:07
they tell you like like it's all coffee, but it says like
49:13
cranberries, chocolate smoke. Like it gives hints of like what
49:19
the beans aromatically smell and also what they taste like.
49:26
So dark chocolate for me is kind of like that.
49:28
It has complexity. There's layers to it.
49:31
I'm sorry for the long rebuttal. I just really, really passionate
49:33
about dark chocolate and I'd like to eat a dark chocolate bar
49:36
right now. It's.
49:37
Really long rebuttal. I'm all for Team Simple Joy of
49:41
Milk Chocolate, so vote for us. How do they do that, Luke?
49:46
Well, they can vote for us in the poll.
49:48
In the poll, that's. On Spotify to do it, that's the
49:50
best place. It's the.
49:52
Best for us to track. Because we're not, we're not
49:55
that good at tracking. Too many places.
49:57
Especially when life is busy. But the other places that count
50:00
are any of our social media places.
50:03
And on most of the social media places, we are arguing ever
50:06
after. Not on all the social media
50:08
places. I know, but I don't think we're
50:09
on all the social media places. That's what I meant on the ones
50:12
we're. On fair, fair, fair, Yeah.
50:14
So what else should they do after they vote?
50:16
Well, they should tell their friends.
50:18
Yes. And their friends can listen to
50:20
the podcast if they don't want to watch the video.
50:22
Yeah. On all of the podcasting
50:25
streaming places. Yeah, Apple and I heart and.
50:29
Yes, all the places. Pick a thing.
50:30
It's there. It gets all the way to Africa
50:32
and Russia. Yeah.
50:34
And Australia. And Japan world.
50:36
And the UK and Germany And this. Is bonkers.
50:40
You know what, we got to crack a little bit, a little bit deeper.
50:42
I know we have Taiwan. I think we got to get a little
50:44
deeper into Asia. OK, Anyway, that's where you can
50:46
find us. All right, so they are supposed
50:49
to vote. Vote.
50:51
Share. Share Vote for me.
50:54
No vote for the absolute correct one of milk chocolate.
50:57
OK, vote share. Right?
51:00
Follow. Oh, and follow.
51:03
That's really important. We need our followers so that
51:05
you can know when our next episode dropped.
51:07
So please get into it. Yes, please do and we'll see you
51:11
next time. Bye.
