I'm anticipating we can 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:06.480 take a break at any point. 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:21.880 Cosha Cosh Show. Well, hey there, welcome to Tosh Show. Eddie, 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.360 Hey buddy, it's Easter. Oh yeah, you know what that means. 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.960 A Lincoln logs in me sock drawer. 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:33.159 That's exactly what it means, Lincoln logs. 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:37.040 In Lincoln logs in me sock drawer. Now, for those 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.920 of you that don't get that reference, well little Bill 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:46.599 Hicks for you. Anyway. Easter, man, I love Easter, probably 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:52.120 one of my favorite rabbit centric holidays. Huh is it rabbits? 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:53.479 HER's it chickens? 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.440 Wait what bunnies? 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.440 Bunnies? Rabbits and bunnies the same thing for. 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.280 Bunny, but I don't know. Chickens. Bunnies don't lay eggs. 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.280 Bunny will either do rabbits. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:06.560 Guys, he's confusing. 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.280 It's a confusing as the story of Christ. 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.399 No, no, no, no, okay, anyway, I love Easter. I 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.160 love the Easter egg hunt. That's my favorite. We do 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.000 it every day at our house. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:17.840 Wow, yeah, I like that. 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.280 Well, we have a chicken coop. I basically just tell 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.720 my kids go get the eggs. They're not really hidden. 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:27.720 Although my son doesn't like to remove the hens or 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.320 reach underneath them to grab the eggs. I might just 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.800 just shoot them away, shoe them away. They bite, I'm like, 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.320 they don't really bite. They peck. Well, they peck a 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.720 little bit. That's how they but you just get it 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.080 if you go quick, they won't. They don't peck me. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.040 I put my hands underneath. There are root around. I'm like, oh, 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.960 that's not an egg. Hello. By the way, just got 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.760 a new chicken. All right, Okay, now you guys heard 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:56.960 the tragic story of Black Betty. Okay, Black Betty has 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:02.320 been replaced uh by white pet wow. Mm hmm. She's 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.520 she's a silky now. She was in a flock of 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:12.080 my neighbor's farm, and she's a beauty silky, just a beauty. 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:12.240 Now. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.440 I don't have silkis. I have showgirls, but they're in 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.000 the same family. I had two white showgirls and and 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.680 she's like, hey, I think my silky would do good 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.000 with you because we had two silkies. But my dog 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.799 killed one of them. And I'm like, oh's tragic. Carl 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.160 never never messes. He's not even aggressive toward the chickens. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:35.959 But anyway, She's like, can I give you my one silky? 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.280 And I'm like, well sure, Uh, you know, we'll see 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.800 if my flock will take her in, because sometimes they'll 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.880 just peck them to death and kill him if if 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.960 the other chickens don't like him. But Mike, bring her 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.280 on over. Let's see how she does. And uh it's 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.280 she seems to fit in great. 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:54.480 So far, so good. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.880 Yeah, No, they're doing they're all they're all great great. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.639 I mean, I'm basically just living this house where people 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:01.840 just are dropping animals off. The other day, let me 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.200 try to drop a rabbit off. I said, no, it 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.639 was the cutest little thing in where I go. No, 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.720 I got wild rabbits everywhere. I don't need more. By 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.600 the way, rabbits, Uh, they are a big reason that 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.399 Carl gets ticks from from time to time. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:16.040 You know that. 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.480 Yeah, rabbits carry ticks and uh you know, and and 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.399 when Carl gets a tick, it's not a big deal. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.520 We usually we usually find it get rid of it. 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:29.079 But it's so uh concerning because if you get bit 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.600 by a tick, and you can get lime disease. But 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.320 here's what you might not know now, I don't want 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:35.920 you to look it up because it's probably not true. 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.400 Okay, but in the computer. 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.960 Don't look it up. Don't look it up. Okay. I 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.400 heard to get lime disease. To get lime disease from 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.520 a tick, it needs to be on you for like 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.800 forty eight hours to like two weeks or something. Ridiculous. 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.120 I'm like, well, if you don't know you have a 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.320 tick on you for that long, you deserve lime disease. Yeah, 0:03:58.400 --> 0:03:59.960 now that could be wrong. Why don't you look at 0:03:59.960 --> 0:04:02.920 it up and see if I'm if I'm in the ballpark, 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.360 because I'm curious. Now, I certainly don't want anybody in 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.640 my family to get lime disease. But I also think 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:15.120 if if it ticks on you for two weeks, thank 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.120 you thirty six to forty eight. So my information wasn't 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.520 completely wrong. The two weeks thing whatever, thirty six hours 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.160 to four it might as well be a month. 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:24.320 If it's on there for two days. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.400 Come on, if you don't know that something's burrowed into 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:32.880 your body and eating you for thirty six hours, I mean, 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.920 then you've got you've got some problems. Thirty person, you're 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.920 a filthy animal anyway, I don't want to get to do. 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.880 By the way, she brings this, uh, this bird over 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.120 and uh, I said, what's her name? You know, got it? 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.479 I was gonna probably rename her anyway. She says, Oh, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.839 we didn't name her chicken. I'm like, oh, I'm like, okay, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:55.200 so now her name is Peggy. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.839 I'm just thinking, like, what if you had a chicken farm, 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.960 thousands of chickens. You think they name every one of them? 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.080 You better? I know they do avert Tyson. It says 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:04.919 it on the packaging. 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:05.599 I did hear that. 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.039 Yeah, you can see the names of the chicken that 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.560 are the on the Tyson packaging. I think they put 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.359 that on there. You know. It's like it's like that 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.440 when you get those lovees, those beanie babies or whatever. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.160 It a little backstory on the tag. You're gonna love 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:24.240 this chicken. Lucy. She was quite the extrovert. Okay, Well, anyway, Peggy, 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.680 want to welcome her to the family. And I hope 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.000 a hawk doesn't get you. Speaking of east Ready Cadbury, 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.359 are they still in business, because I would go on 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:37.680 record as saying Cadberry creamed eggs are the single grossest 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:42.000 piece of candy in the history of the world. God, 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:42.880 you ever had one? 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:44.120 Only in an omelet? 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:52.400 Oh, that's interesting, Eddie's doing Cadberry creamed egg omelets. Sounds good. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.479 What do you do? You put a little sponge in there. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.000 Sometimes we go with either go that or a jelly 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.080 bean and cheese burrita. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.040 You ever had a Cadbury cream dig for real? 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:02.880 Yeah? 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:03.240 You have? 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:04.760 Yeah? Is awful. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:08.200 There's no way that's good. The best way to Cadbury 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.560 cream dig, I would say, is just a poort on 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.440 your back and slap yourself in the ass. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:14.719 Yeah. You feel like you're a part of a production 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:17.000 and you're the star. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.440 There is no chance that that's an enjoyable experience. Now, 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.440 Cadbury is disgusting. I hope they go out of business. Ah, 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.160 unless they're a sponsored to this show, then by all means, 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.279 they did have the cute commercial that. The only thing 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:34.800 I like about Cadbury is their annual commercial. Where don't 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.000 they have something bark bark? 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:36.920 Yeah? 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.320 I hope. I just hope before Easter that our president 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:45.520 gets the price of Cadbury creamed eggs under control. Amen, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.560 that's why you got elected. Ran on it because of 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.520 Jesus and the price of Cadbury cream eggs. All right, 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.720 enough of this talk. I don't believe in the Easter Bunny, 0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:01.200 but I do believe in today's guest. Enjoy mm. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:05.960 Casha. 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.640 My guest today is the second generation Chocolate Tear with 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.160 over thirty years of experience.

My first question 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:23.000 that asked. 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:27.680 Every guest, Okay, do you believe in ghosts? Oh? I don't. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:28.800 I don't know. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.560 Check now why am I interviewing you Phil instead of 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.040 your brother Mark? Was Was there any debate of who 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.200 should be in the hot seat here? 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.760 I'm son number one? Oh, therefore I get the priority. 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.080 How much older are you than your brother? 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:44.040 Three years older? 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.520 That's a good difference. Did you enjoy him as a kid, Yeah, 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.640 like you have a good relationship. Yeah, we were always 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.200 friends because my brother's just two years younger than me, 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.840 and I have such fond memories of growing up. And 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.960 then I talked to my younger brother now is a adult. No, 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:01.560 I hated you. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.760 Do you think he hasn't surprised me with that yet? 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.440 Okay, I guess I tortured him a little more than 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.360 I realized. But now that we're older, we're good friends. 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.360 Is working with your brothers had a good idea? 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:14.640 Yeah for us, it works. 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.200 Well. How long you guys been working together? 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.360 Well, this project's been now five or six years, okay. 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.160 And previously we always did sort of you know, other 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:24.240 stuff on the side together. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:24.640 Okay. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.600 He helped out my mom over the years. So this 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.240 is just the two of us. It was an easy, 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:29.240 you know, pairing. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.520 You grew up in Los Angeles. Your parents were in 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.680 a successful chocolate business in Beverly Hills, selling premier chocolate. 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.880 This is why other parts of the country hate us 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.280 here in California. You you're aware of that, right. What 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.440 was childhood like for you? 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.240 It was wonderful, wonderful, very lucky. Lived in La grew 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.640 up in Westwood around the corner from where the shop was, 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.679 and had a great younger brother. Parents still together. So 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.439 growing up, did you eat tons of candy on the chocolate? 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:56.679 Yes? 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:57.080 You did? 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:57.439 Yeah. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.360 Do you have a sweet tooth? I do? Yeah? Dessert 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.160 at every meal every day? Yes? How you did it? 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:09.640 I have it. Do you consider chocolate candy? No, you don't. No, 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.560 I think I'm with you. I don't ever want candy. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:14.000 I always want chocolate. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.080 Yeah, some chocolate's candy and some chocolate's chocolate too. 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.319 Anyway, how did why did they decide a chocolate shop? 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.160 Well, my mom, she's originally from Brazil. When she came 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.839 to the United States, she figured out pretty clearly the 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.120 chocolate really wasn't that great, and so for her, European 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.000 chocolate was something that was special and enjoyable, and she 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.439 was able to connect with the manufacturer and start bringing 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.680 in here so that there was European chocolate here in 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.800 Los Angeles. And then same thing with coffee, you know, 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.400 fifteen years later, I think she realized that, well, she 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.520 realized kind of right away the coffee here isn't also 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.320 that great. Why don't do coffee too, And so she 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.360 opened up a cafe, you know, to make local local 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.360 espressos and brewed coffee. 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.920 Yeah, that's it's impressive. I mean, I don't ever think 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.599 I can eyeball a problem and fix it with what 0:09:58.920 --> 0:09:59.800 do we need more of them? 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:00.200 Oh? 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.920 Beats me. Obviously you grew up. We helped around it. 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.880 Yeah, we grew up. We helped her out all the time, 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.520 Holidays when we opened the cafe, helped her with that, 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.200 opened the website for her in two thousand and three 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.839 as the sort of first e commerce, you know, version 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:15.560 of the website. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.520 What made you decide to take over the family business. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.920 Well, my mom had always suggested it and offered it 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.439 over the years, and my brother and I didn't live 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.720 in la And then when we kind of came back 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.440 here later, she had one last offer and we decided, Hey, 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.440 you know what, now, now's a good time. We're both here, 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.160 We're both started moving onto new new types of careers, 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:35.480 and it was a good It was a good time. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.040 Were you negotiating with her? Were you playing hardball? 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:39.280 No? 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.640 Is she happy with the direction that you guys have 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:43.839 taken the business. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.920 Yeah, she's very pumped. She's excited. 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.040 Explain, before you took out, you and your brother took 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.560 over the business, it wasn't you weren't making your own 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:52.560 chocolates for you? 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:53.240 No, we were not. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.480 Okay, Yeah, and now, yeah. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.200 My mom for many, many years imported Swiss chocolate. She 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.280 had a relationship with a wonderful Swiss manu factor, And 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.800 when we took over, we realized that it'd sort of 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.960 become a little out of date sort of boring and 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.040 you know, traditional, and it was time to kind of 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.080 re imagine it. So at that point we decided, well 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.040 we should probably be making our own product as well, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.680 and so we brought on a chef, built out a 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.800 kitchen and really started making the products, you know, the 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:18.839 way we wanted to do it. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.680 What does Anne's sons specialize in. 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.040 Well, we've been doing this for a long time. Originally 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.840 my mom started, and then when we took over, it 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.840 really was making it more modern, making it more relevant, 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:35.440 using ingredients ethically sourced cacao, local, local dairy to elevate 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.000 the product, to make it special, and doing you know, 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.560 thinking about the packaging, making it an experience. So as 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.440 a gift, it's a special occasion. 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:48.360 Now your chocolates are made, i mean to sound cliche, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.760 the finest ingredients in the world, and your chef that 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:59.800 you hired, Chef Sandy from the French Laundry, which is arguably, 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:03.320 or not even arguably the fanciest restaurant in the world. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:04.520 Yeah, one of them. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.199 I think people say it is the top. At least 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.320 at one point it was the top, right, all right, 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.840 she's the pastry chef. That was the change the executive 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.560 pastry chef. Yeah, executive Patriry number yard you how'd you 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.040 get her to quit that dump and then come run 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:18.600 your world? 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.560 She wanted a change of pace, a change of lifestyle. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.600 She was living in Los Angeles at the time, and 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:24.760 you know we connected. 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.000 Is she happy with that decision? So far? 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.040 Yes, so far, so good. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.480 So does the chocolate change if she's not there? It does? 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.360 I mean she makes decisions about everything we do, about 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.480 the ingredients, about the process, about the freshness, about the design. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.480 I mean, we're always thinking of new products. 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:40.719 So do you know the recipes? 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:41.040 No? 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:41.520 I don't. 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:46.160 You don't, I'll be fucked.

And I said, oh, that's because 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.520 they can't say chocolate. They can say chocolate candy because 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.960 it's not necessarily fully a chocolate product. 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.320 So this is you know what you're doing to me 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.120 right now?

So the 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.760 store them the bottom in bulk and keeps them. 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.400 They're not fresh. You care about freshness of chocolate? 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:53.959 Correct? 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.239 How long from when you make chocolate should someone consume it? 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.159 We tell them to eat it within ten days. 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:00.320 That's easy, easy? 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.639 Yeah, yeah, I don't know what's wrong with that? 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.080 What about? What about in your shop? How long until 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.040 you're like, oh, that chocolate's past its prime? We keep 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.159 it there for a week and then where does it go? 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.440 It usually sells, So we have a system where it's 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.359 selling within you know what we bring from the catching, 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:15.840 from the kitchen to the store selling. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.359 I could never understand that business that. It's so hard 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.280 to figure out that kind of stuff. It's a nightmare. 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.639 By the way, we have some Kirkland signature chocolate in here. Yeah, 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:26.560 that can't be fresh either, right, I doubt it? 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:28.639 No, six months, one year. 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.840 One year? Okay? Ooh what am I looking at here? 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:33.879 All right? So this is our twenty four piece chocolate box, 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.400 popular size, and. 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.639 In that box so that how it opens from the sides. 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.159 Yeah, we have both a line of modern style and 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:44.320 robe chocolates and then a little more traditional European style 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:46.320 classic in roadbomb bons. 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.080 Here's the thing. Yeah, I see a fancy box like that. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.960 Sometimes I'll get a pair of Italian shoes and they 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.959 come in a shoe box. It's so much fancier than 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.399 a normal shoebox, which is what we're dealing with here. 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.800 This is a this is a fancy box. Yeah. But 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:04.240 when I'm finished with the chocolate, I mean, you're stuck 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.119 with the box, am am I? Or am I just 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.720 getting rid of it? What am I supposed to do 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:09.680 with the box? Is my question? 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.359 Well, a lot of people keep them. We do a 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.280 lot of artist collaborations. We use artist artwork and people 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:15.639 keep them. 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.239 And am I supposed to shelf it, display it? This 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:21.520 is a box we do. This is let me see 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.720 this one. This is now this you could put on. 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:27.520 I could curate this on my daughter's shelf in her room. 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:28.679 That makes sense. 0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:31.680 But that was an artist here in La. He's a muralist. 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:33.560 His name is Bumblebee loves You. 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:36.639 And his name's not Bumblebee loves you. 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:38.920 It is I have to I call him Bumblebee for short. 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:43.280 But yes, well right, but his his birth name is 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.720 not Bumblebee loved But he did the He did. 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.120 A mural that in Palisades at one of the schools 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:48.840 that burned down. 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:52.800 The elementary school. Yeah and yeah, I got you. And 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:54.520 so we worked with him to create a box with 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.119 the artwork. And so you know, this is not the 0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:58.800 one that burned down. But you did do one of. 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.359 Me did that one and sold out and going to 0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:03.640 the second version. No, we don't have any. 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:05.080 You didn't keep one for yourself. 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:06.399 I might have one somewhere. 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:08.320 Look at that. 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.200 But you know, when we said, hey, let's go at 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:11.879 it again, he said, all right, let's find it.

By the way, do you have 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:20.760 to pay him to do this or was this something 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.320 that he wanted to do with you guys. 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.280 He wanted to do it, We don't, we both.

You can take a bite. 0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:57.080 You'll see it when you write. 0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:58.919 Mm hmm.

It ain't point. 0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:16.960 That's funny. We can take a break, all right, all right? 0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:20.840 So the next one is a pecan pray leane and 0:26:20.880 --> 0:26:22.560 toasted rice. That's this one right here. 0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:25.280 You guys mess with rice Krispy treats. No, at home, 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:27.800 we do. My wife makes them does. Yeah, you put 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:28.399 chocolate in it? 0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:31.240 No, but like a salted butter, which is really good. 0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:34.199 You guys are living good. Like by the way, this 0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:34.720 is great too. 0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:35.280 Oh good? 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:35.840 All right? 0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:37.760 The next one's back to fruit and back to milk chocolate, 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:40.240 all right, Lemon meringue, macadamia. 0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:43.480 This is there's a chance I like this. I would, 0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:45.760 I was my favorite piece. I would be shocked if 0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:49.240 I enjoy this really. Oh yeah, I would. There's just 0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:51.760 no way that I would ever ever see this and 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:53.280 go oh lemon ring chocolate. Sure. 0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:01.320 So there's three things going on there. There's that lemon 0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.679 lemon pad if we right, so like a nice citrus flavor, 0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:10.440 macadamia prey lean, and then a crunchy meringue. So it's 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:11.840 got a great texture to it. 0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:17.160 That's really good. I mean it's confusing a little bit 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.320 with the lemon, but I'm sure I like it. Are 0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:23.080 these harder to make than the other ones? Because they're 0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:24.399 no pretty inflame? 0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:26.800 They're all hard. They're all kind of equally hard to make. 0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:29.000 I mean I can imagine, right, but they are like 0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:31.120 little pieces of art right now. So these are painted 0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:34.639 with cocoa butter. The team, you know, prepares all the 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:36.600 different layers that are going to go inside all the 0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:39.320 different ingredients, and they use a sort of a cavity 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:42.640 mold to prepare the final chocolate, whereas the other ones 0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:46.280 you had are more traditional chocolate curtain and a road 0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:49.440 piece that goes through a chocolate curtain machine. Okay, by 0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:51.560 the way, I just say ten dollars worth of chocolate. 0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.160 He did because when I was a kid, I would 0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:57.399 go to the store with a quarter maybe fifty cents, 0:27:57.680 --> 0:28:00.560 and I would get something snow caps. You don't like those. 0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:02.920 As a kid, I didn't like you didn't like snow No, 0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:04.080 it's you. 0:28:04.080 --> 0:28:07.800 You've been bougie since day one. That is pretty incredible. 0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:09.520 All right, Okay, where are we at now? 0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:12.520 Salty caramel. This is our first mold apiece. 0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:15.040 This would be my second pick if I was just 0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:16.960 to read the menu of what I would want, and 0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:19.080 we'll look at the bottom of that too. That is 0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:27.879 just so pretty. Mm hmm. That's what you like?

So a 0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:55.200 layer of vanilla marshmallow? 0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:57.640 Is that what that? This is supposed to represent?

Eh, layer layer gram cracker, housemade Graham cracker, 0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:05.400 and a milk chocolate shell. 0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:12.320 We did it. We found my least favorite. I don't 0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:16.640 like marshmallows as soon as they taste them, like, yeah, 0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:18.600 it's just such a it's a consistency thing. 0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:19.480 Clown food. 0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:20.760 It's clown food. 0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:23.680 I say, this one is punk, this one is fruit. 0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:25.600 This one said you want it off the menu, you 0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:27.880 can make a substitute coffee. 0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:31.200 Oh gosh, no, I don't want coffee.

Passion fruit, fashion fruit, orange, guava. 0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:42.640 So three fruit flavors? 0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:43.720 Oh wow? 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.760 Got a pat off we at the top and a 0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:47.680 ganash at the bottom. 0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:51.840 I mean, I'm gonna say that that's just that's as 0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:54.840 good as that world can get and that's that's really 0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:57.320 it is good. I get why people would say that 0:29:57.320 --> 0:30:00.959 that's amazing. Yeah, it's just not my pre for chocolate. 0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:05.040 But that's overwhelming. Yeah, I mean I feel like I 0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:08.320 just there's so much citrus in my mouth. What are 0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:10.600 we up to?

I gotta get the twenty bucks. 0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:17.400 Here you are? 0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:20.880 This is okay Huntington tea. Yeah, what is this? 0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:23.480 So it's a black tea that we use from the 0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:28.080 Huntington Gardens in San Marino with a milk chocolate ghanash. 0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:32.840 It's got a very sort of jasmine herbal dark tea flavor, 0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:34.040 black tea flavor, I don't. 0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:36.160 I don't like tea. I don't like coffee. 0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:46.240 M I think you're gonna say you like it. 0:30:46.280 --> 0:30:49.800 That's way too much chocolate to consume. If you didn't 0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:53.200 tell me what that was, I think I was anticipating 0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:54.480 not liking it. And it's good. 0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:55.480 Oh good m h. 0:30:55.960 --> 0:31:00.520 Yeah that's that. I have no idea what I was tasting, 0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:07.040 but it felt it wasn't recognizable. If I would just again, 0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:09.640 I don't have the most sophisticated that is amazing. I'm 0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:12.600 excited about this. This alone is the prettiest thing everything. 0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:15.080 So do you do you do all this? You pick 0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:18.280 the fonts? Yes, you do. Yeah, well that's what I 0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:20.720 care about. All right? Good? Why are you laughing at that? 0:31:21.400 --> 0:31:24.320 It's just like, gets pretty the fonts are People don't 0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:27.600 so many times my wife watched me do this stair day, 0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:29.680 I'm in a store and I said to the lady, 0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:31.360 I said, I go, do you own this place? And 0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:33.880 she said no, And I go, WHOA, Can I just 0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:37.680 give you my two cents? Your storefront window, you're closed 0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:40.560 a majority of the time, and they don't have a 0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:45.680 lot of space, but their storefront window everything is facing inward, 0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:48.640 so when you're outside of the closed store, you're seeing 0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:50.680 the back of everything on this window. I'm like, what 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:53.560 are you doing? I go, please just just turn that around. 0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:56.680 And she's like, I'll pass the note around and then anyway, 0:31:56.880 --> 0:31:58.360 she's like, oh, do you need anything? I'm like, no, 0:31:58.840 --> 0:32:00.720 I do anything. 0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:01.480 What do they sell? 0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:05.040 You know, nick knacks, cute stuff whatever? Like you know, 0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:07.640 there's cards, there's blah blah blah. It's you know, a 0:32:07.760 --> 0:32:11.200 California store where you you buy a coffee table, book 0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:14.240 for eighty five bucks. But I was just like, your window, 0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:16.800 it's not pretty on the outside, and that's that matters. 0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:18.200 What are people going to do when they come on 0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:20.080 the inside. I'm like, well, at that point they're inside, 0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:23.640 mission accomplished. I just don't want people to fail. That's 0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:24.080 my point. 0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:27.680 We have great windows. Stuff's facing outside. 0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:32.680 No, my point was the little things matter. You're you're 0:32:33.240 --> 0:32:37.840 you know, everything looks good, everything's pretty. Thank you. Everybody's 0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:41.880 on the show gets a gift. Yeah.

Now, do you uh you 0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:48.280 ever uh make your own pizza? 0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:51.480 Yeah? Okay, yes, what's gonna be? 0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:57.160 I got you sweet this peel. For some reason, I thought, oh, 0:32:57.200 --> 0:33:00.040 this is in the wheelhouse of a chocolate tear. But 0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:03.320 I also this metal peel. I'm not good at using 0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:07.920 it because when it heats up the dough kind of 0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:10.840 it's I can't slide it off. You have to put 0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:12.840 meal on it. That's not my thing. Anyway, this peal 0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:14.800 doesn't work with me. I have to use a wood peel. 0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:17.200 You'll love that, all right, we should try this in 0:33:17.240 --> 0:33:18.200 the kitchen for sure. 0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:19.960 Sure, that's a nice peal for you. 0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:23.200 Thank you. 0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:25.320 You're gonna want to put that on the floor. That'll 0:33:25.320 --> 0:33:27.280 scratch my desk all up it probably don't lean it 0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:29.200 against the wall. You might need to lay that flat. 0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:30.160 That thing is huge. 0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:31.440 Is a monster. 0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:37.880 Rank Jean Wilder, Johnny Depp, and Timothy Shallow may your 0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.000 Wonka's rank your Wonka's. 0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:43.320 Jeane's number one.

Anybody disagree 0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:03.959 this guy's getting nominated for Oscars? You think Johnny's been 0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:06.040 nominated for an Oscar. I don't know that. I'm gonna 0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:08.440 guess he hasn't. And I know Gene was never nominated 0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:14.120 for an Oscar him, don't, don't. I'm an employee.

She was giving 0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:40.680 her friends forgetting. But Marissa used to come in and 0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:43.520 she was mean to my wife as a kid in 0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:45.600 school when my wife was fourteen years old, and my 0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:48.320 wife would and Marissa would like, hey, here's my candy. 0:34:48.320 --> 0:34:51.000 I wanted for free, and my wife would charge her. Oh, 0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.640 and that made Marissa furious. I'm told I've heard this 0:34:53.719 --> 0:34:57.759 story three hundred times. But anyway, then one day the 0:34:57.920 --> 0:35:00.319 business just closed up. She goes, I show up to 0:35:00.320 --> 0:35:02.000 work and it was closed and there was no and 0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:05.080 I go, yeah, because you'd been fucking stealing from them 0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:08.919 for way too long. You said that your company has 0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:12.840 twenty to thirty employees depending on the season. Yeah, My 0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:16.080 question is when is chocolate's busy season? 0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:19.720 From October Halloween time, all the way through Mother's Day. 0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:21.920 All the way through Mother's Day. Yeah, I'm not buying 0:35:21.920 --> 0:35:24.160 my mom chocolate her Mother's Day? 0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:25.040 What do you get her? 0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:27.680 Usually send her flowers and then she you know, what 0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:29.360 she does with them. When I send her flowers, she 0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:31.880 splits them in half. She's that they're too big for 0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:34.959 my place, and then she just gives the other half 0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:35.680 to my sister. 0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:36.799 I've never heard of that. 0:35:37.719 --> 0:35:41.319 Do people want to chocolate for for uh?

Do you get a discount 0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:55.640 if you get on the email list? 0:35:56.040 --> 0:35:56.080 No? 0:35:56.680 --> 0:35:59.440 Good, good for you. That always bothers me. Good time 0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:01.440 I see a thing, Oh, first time buyer, just give 0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:03.080 us your email.

What are you given out? Are you giving 0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:16.960 out your fancy chocolates? 0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:17.200 No? 0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:18.120 Have you ever? 0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:19.920 Just to friends? 0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:24.080 I mean that would be amazing. Because my manager, Christy Smith, 0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:29.520 she loves to brag or give three hundred full saized 0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:32.839 bars out this year and I'm like, who cares, it's 0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:36.400 shitty chocolate. Now, if you were giving out fancy chocolate, 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:37.280 that would be incredible. 0:36:37.520 --> 0:36:39.040 Yeah, we'd be very popular on the block. 0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:41.400 You're always in like the fancy gift bags and stuff 0:36:41.440 --> 0:36:42.920 for like the Oscars things like that. 0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:45.520 Well, we don't do many of those, but I don't know.

They just 0:36:56.800 --> 0:37:01.440 want handouts. Because I'm being honest about it, it always 0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:04.600 like when I first was in show business and had 0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:07.279 a bit of success, I was so excited to get them, 0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:11.360 And now I don't want handles. I'd rather pay to 0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:14.359 not be annoyed, yeah, or to be like, hey, oh yeah, 0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:15.840 we'll give this to you, but can we have you 0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:20.840 post on your social media accounts? And I don't do it. 0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:23.000 I can't do that anyway. 0:37:22.680 --> 0:37:24.880 Right, And they ask us to pay too. We have 0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:27.840 to pay to be in. So not only is it freebie, 0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:29.759 but it's also paid up to participate. 0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:34.440 That is interesting, you is hear that? All right? Is 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:36.400 it the goal of every chocolate teer to get in 0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:37.800 a Kiosk in the airport. 0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:41.800 Yes, that would be We love that. You're not you're serious? 0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:42.439 Really? Yeah? 0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:43.440 All right. 0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:46.319 We have people who always come to our shop buy 0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:48.440 chocolate and take it home. And yesterday there was a 0:37:48.480 --> 0:37:50.479 family from India.

I think I've been there. 0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:16.080 I don't remember. I wonder if it's actually on the border, 0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:18.479 like where you can do that thing, will step over 0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:22.680 a line, go back and forth.

You know, that's got to be just the 0:45:51.040 --> 0:45:57.080 Florida like there's just always bikini contests at like the 0:45:57.120 --> 0:45:59.799 beach Wet and Wild used to have. 0:46:00.520 --> 0:46:01.720 That makes sense. Sure. 0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:04.040 I think my sister entered one once. 0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:07.160 She do good, she did what she plays. 0:46:07.239 --> 0:46:09.759 I don't remember, but I know that I was embarrassed 0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:12.239 because she was doing a French accent and acting like 0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:17.560 she didn't speak English.

Uh, they used to do 0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:28.040 like a night series and in the summer. Or this 0:46:28.120 --> 0:46:30.080 isn't a free plug for them. It's a free plug 0:46:30.239 --> 0:46:34.319 for a bikini contest at the Flora Bama Bar.

Yes, you think 0:47:03.000 --> 0:47:05.640 because a lot of girls, I know, for a while 0:47:05.719 --> 0:47:09.240 in those bikini kinds were wearing those slingshot bathing suits. 0:47:09.520 --> 0:47:13.879 Remember that that borat war that's called the slingshot. It's 0:47:13.920 --> 0:47:16.680 it's it's just like covers your your huha, and it's 0:47:16.719 --> 0:47:19.120 like just a thin little shirt, but that's technically a 0:47:19.200 --> 0:47:21.399 one piece. That is not that is not a two pie, 0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:25.080 that is not a bikini anyway.
