Speaker 1: opinion about it, we'll do an episode about it. We

Speaker 1: love you, so without anything else, let's let's get into
Speaker 1: the show. Hey, everybody, welcome to Hold Up, the show
Speaker 1: where we debate the important topics that things are happening
Speaker 1: in the world to all of us. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: our Halloween episode. We're getting ahead of it, We're getting
Speaker 1: in a little bit early, and so we want to
Speaker 1: we want to come to you right now with one
Speaker 1: of the most important breaking issues that is tearing up
Speaker 1: the country. Okay, carrying it apart. We are talking today
Speaker 1: about the worst Halloween candy. We're not about the worst
Speaker 1: candy period, candy corn versus peeps. Okay, all right, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, now, you know usually the format is me
Speaker 1: and Josh are trying to give you the best of
Speaker 1: the best. We're trying to tell you from our hoard. Okay,
Speaker 1: these are the these are the things, these are the topics,
Speaker 1: These are the situations of themes that me and Josh
Speaker 1: argued about, because we want you to know about the
Speaker 1: best of the best. This time we're coming to you
Speaker 1: with hate hate. Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Speaker 1: hey hey hey hey hey. We have decided that it's
Speaker 1: since it is all hollows eaves time, white people's favorite holiday,
Speaker 1: we are going to flip it on his head. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go for the worst. What, Josh Johnson, do you
Speaker 1: think is the worst candy or the way they would
Speaker 1: say it where we're from, Which do you think is worser?
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to go with candy corn as
Speaker 1: good as really really driving home the taste and the
Speaker 1: pain and the wax in the childhoods of of of
Speaker 1: so many Americans. I don't know of another country that
Speaker 1: has this plight that we have. Okay, it might be
Speaker 1: in other places, but if it is, it's it's because
Speaker 1: we let it out. It's because we sent it over.
Speaker 1: This is our fault. If people are celebrating American Halloween.
Speaker 1: Right then they got to be having the American candies, right.
Speaker 1: You got your received shaped like pumpkins, You got your Hershey's,
Speaker 1: got your Hersheys you got you got your chocolate and
Speaker 1: crispy eyeballs, you got your kit cats coming through right.
Speaker 1: Halloween is is what gave us the fun sized Snickers,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's when we all realized, hey, maybe,
Speaker 1: just maybe I don't need a whole Snickers. M hm.
Speaker 1: Snickers is a meal. We have to acknowledge. Snickers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a Snickers will you know how when your parents don't
Speaker 1: want to let you have anything because they don't want
Speaker 1: to ruin your appetite, Snickers is the thing that it hits.
Speaker 1: Snickers knows itself so well that they just started making
Speaker 1: the commercials about filling your belly up. The commercial is
Speaker 1: already even about it being a delicious chocolate bar. Now
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, you're not you when you're hungry, so
Speaker 1: eat this candy bar, Eat this candied meal of a Snickers.
Speaker 1: The fact that they recognized that, the fact that they
Speaker 1: were like, look, I can't get through one of these
Speaker 1: in one sitting. This is food. This isn't candy. This
Speaker 1: is food. Honest, Snickers is food. If you went ahead
Speaker 1: right now, and just if we would hit right now,
Speaker 1: it just took all the pieces of Snickers out, the
Speaker 1: Snickers would be enough to fill a plate. You'd be like,
Speaker 1: thank you for making me that plate. Like somebody could
Speaker 1: make you a plate of Snickers, make you a TV
Speaker 1: debt or of Snickers could be here's the nougat, here's
Speaker 1: here's the caramel, and here's a big old tray of chocolate.
Speaker 1: There you go, enjoy your TV. But yeah, so candy
Speaker 1: corn because some of the stuff is very holiday specific,
Speaker 1: like the Robbin egg, which is a candy covered chocolate
Speaker 1: malted milkball and I love and also known as the whopper,
Speaker 1: and I love those. I love a whopper and candy
Speaker 1: for him. I love a whopper and sandwich for him.
Speaker 1: I love whoppers. Right, the candy corn has been out
Speaker 1: here disappointing people for a long time, right because sometimes
Speaker 1: because what I used to do as a kid is
Speaker 1: I used to bite three colors in individually, right, because
Speaker 1: I was like, let me get the white foot. Because
Speaker 1: as a child, I thought there were different flavors. Because
Speaker 1: you see different colors of different flavors, but that's not
Speaker 1: what happened. But I think I'm gonna have to say
Speaker 1: that the worst candy of all time is the people,
Speaker 1: because our best candies, right, Halloween, Christmas, Easter, So Jesus
Speaker 1: is out here two out of three, right, But I
Speaker 1: don't know what demon came out with the peep And
Speaker 1: now they're the peep just not just living Eastern lifestyle. Mhm.
Speaker 1: They've got Halloween peeps, now they got Christmas peeps down.
Speaker 1: The peep is not saying what does it? Does a
Speaker 1: baby chick have to do with Halloween? It don't, they don't.
Speaker 1: We barely understand the only reason that's involved in easters
Speaker 1: because of the egg. We're all confirsted. A lot of
Speaker 1: us are confused about the egg and the rabbit able
Speaker 1: to do with the resurrection of Christ. Anyway, that's not
Speaker 1: the point, all right, you know, paganism, it does what
Speaker 1: it does. But the peep coming in. First of all,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be giving us marshmallow, right, but it's
Speaker 1: the wrong consistency. Also, that powder that makes the peep
Speaker 1: the color that it is? What what is that? Is it?
Speaker 1: Powdered sugar? Yeah? I don't think it's powdered sugar because
Speaker 1: it sticks on too closely. So I'm gonna do something
Speaker 1: for the listener right now just to help you decide. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read you the ingredients of candy corn and
Speaker 1: the ingredients of peeps. Okay, because first of all, when
Speaker 1: you google what is candy corn made of, your first
Speaker 1: result in images says sugar, m food, shut up and butter.
Speaker 1: I'm not shut up, shut up food. I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: this on my own Internet because I hate the people
Speaker 1: you're talking about the candy corn. I'll talking about the
Speaker 1: the peak. Right. First of all, what are they made of?
Speaker 1: Peeple's only require three ingredients sugar, corn, syrup, and gelatine,
Speaker 1: But the chicks eyes of the peeps are made of
Speaker 1: food grade carnuba wax. Carnuba wax is also in candy corn,
Speaker 1: So you know, people who are vegan, who are kosher
Speaker 1: or hallal, have to be careful with things with gelatine
Speaker 1: in them. No, I didn't know this because gelatine is
Speaker 1: derived from animal bones, okay, and a lot of those
Speaker 1: bones that they use are pork bones. So technically, technically,
Speaker 1: since they use pork derived gellatin in peeps to make
Speaker 1: the marshmallows. Not only are they not kosher and they're
Speaker 1: not hallal, but peeps have pork in them. They just
Speaker 1: got nastier coming to you this summer to a disgusting
Speaker 1: trash dup near you. Yeah, this is what I'm saying
Speaker 1: with peeps. This, this is where peeps did me dirty,
Speaker 1: all right, because I'll hit you with because there are
Speaker 1: people out there that like peeps, and I understand sometimes
Speaker 1: you can be wrong, right, I want to offer up
Speaker 1: to people a few anecdotes, just things from my life
Speaker 1: that I had when it came to peeps. So, peeps
Speaker 1: were introduced to me by my grandmother. My grandmother and
Speaker 1: I would eat peeps every once in a while, every
Speaker 1: like other Easter, you know, fluffy pork got it. And
Speaker 1: I thought that I liked peeps because I just It
Speaker 1: turns out I just like spend tilling my grandma. It
Speaker 1: turns out that my grandma was just you know, dope,
Speaker 1: and so I liked hanging out with her and Instagrammather
Speaker 1: talked about bicycles. Yeah, shout out to grandma. So this
Speaker 1: is like we've been chilling eating peeps and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until a day where I was by myself,
Speaker 1: I saw some peeps in a CVS. I grabbed him
Speaker 1: and I bit into one, and without my grandmother's conversation
Speaker 1: there to distract me, I hate entered my heart that
Speaker 1: it took two weeks of church to get rid of.
Speaker 1: You know what, I got some hate in my heart
Speaker 1: right now that's gonna probably take a year of church
Speaker 1: to get rid of because because it took a while
Speaker 1: for it to get there. Oh, I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: like you know people talk about like cursing, you know
Speaker 1: how that like you don't you should always say positive
Speaker 1: things like you don't want to say you know how
Speaker 1: to say back on, like you don't want to speak
Speaker 1: bad on nobody. Who There is somebody right now that
Speaker 1: I am always stopping myself. As soon as I get
Speaker 1: ready to say something, I just go and bless his
Speaker 1: and bless his house Jesus. Because there's some people where
Speaker 1: you have to pray for them because if you don't,
Speaker 1: you will kind you the devil himself. That's why I
Speaker 1: almost did with the peeps. I know you're talking about.
Speaker 1: You got to say good things because certain people will
Speaker 1: make you go listen, Lucifer, I don't fox with you,
Speaker 1: but if I could use you the fox with him,
Speaker 1: I don't make a flame on right. So that's why
Speaker 1: you have to you have to speak kindness into existence
Speaker 1: when it comes to certain people, because some people will
Speaker 1: make will test your religion. I remember the first time
Speaker 1: I had a peep because I I already don't I'm
Speaker 1: already not a huge marshmallow fan because I really don't
Speaker 1: understand it. Right, Well, that's what's crazy. I love marshmallows
Speaker 1: and couldn't stand peeps. I mean, I get it. I
Speaker 1: love tomato soup and don't like catchup completely in saying right,
Speaker 1: But I remember, like, first of all, when you see
Speaker 1: a peep, I never liked the way that peeps look
Speaker 1: because they look like mushed chickens. They also look like
Speaker 1: they're watching. They look like they melted, like I don't understand,
Speaker 1: like I always like when I first saw peeps as
Speaker 1: a kid, I was like, oh no, they melted because
Speaker 1: I was like, this can't be with the final design
Speaker 1: what m m, this can't be what comes out the factory.
Speaker 1: And we're like, yep, we did it right. Because they
Speaker 1: also have like the rabbit, the rabbit rabbit, the rabbit
Speaker 1: shaped you know, you know, prapper, the rapper the rabbit
Speaker 1: shaped peeps also looked like they melted, but they make
Speaker 1: more and says a thing. So the first time, like
Speaker 1: the design, I wasn't on top of. And then sometimes
Speaker 1: I guess when I was a kid, maybe the eyes
Speaker 1: were a little wonky. So yeah, they're like sitting wrong
Speaker 1: or they double up. I mean, I guess it's a
Speaker 1: Walgreens peep or drugstore people or whatever. Those Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry they interrupt you, but you just reminded me
Speaker 1: of something that I think is gonna actually help your point,
Speaker 1: which I never do because you're usually wrong. Family dollar
Speaker 1: oh Man Family dollars make you think candy looks completely different.
Speaker 1: Where you talk about dollar store knockoff peeps because Peep's
Speaker 1: already bad, and then you get the knockoff peep. The
Speaker 1: knockoff peep has three eyes. Okay, it's coming at you
Speaker 1: with one of these the peeple The peep got one
Speaker 1: eyes sliding off the cheek one needs to be and
Speaker 1: one eye it here because at the factory they were
Speaker 1: like just throwing eyes at them on the coveyor belt
Speaker 1: just Here're not putting them on. They're just like have
Speaker 1: some have some have some? Right? They worked hard? Yes,
Speaker 1: the family dollar Dollar General candy was always like I
Speaker 1: hope I make it right. But their candy and their
Speaker 1: candy corn. Not to say the candy corn is soft,
Speaker 1: candy corn is already hard. Right. Yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: I kind of think I thought we were doing with
Speaker 1: this that I thought we were on a competition to
Speaker 1: say which one was worser, right, But it feels like
Speaker 1: us ganging up on them collectively and just be hard
Speaker 1: to decide which one is actually worse. Oh, we're just
Speaker 1: trying to side. I gotta say the peeps are the
Speaker 1: worst one. The experience, your hands get so sticky. Everything's
Speaker 1: so sticky, and the marshmall it's the glitter of texture. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a perfect it's everywhere, like just sitting there, they're like,
Speaker 1: how did the back of my leg? Like what like
Speaker 1: where did this go? So everything is sticky. The powder
Speaker 1: is different colors, but it's not different flavors, so you're like,
Speaker 1: you don't understand how that works. And then they're hard
Speaker 1: to get out of the package. They're hard to keep
Speaker 1: in the package. The package opens in a wrong way.
Speaker 1: So you either have to eat all of them or
Speaker 1: none of them. Like you can't store them for later.
Speaker 1: You can't put them in a zip lock bag. You
Speaker 1: can't do anything. No one wants to share them with you.
Speaker 1: You can only give them the children, because only a
Speaker 1: child would go, I'll eat this. You can't shoot them,
Speaker 1: but you should. And then you're trying to swallow, but
Speaker 1: it's too much. The bites you take are always too
Speaker 1: big of them. It's so much in your mouth. I
Speaker 1: think they swell up when you chew, like it's a nightmare.
Speaker 1: You can't and it's like some marshmall like some things
Speaker 1: you can put in, like cot cocoa, Like you can't
Speaker 1: drop a peep in hot chocolate or some ship like that.
Speaker 1: If you're trying to poison somebody, if you really want
Speaker 1: someone to just walk away from you, if you are
Speaker 1: just into marriage. But about two peeps and a mugga
Speaker 1: hot coco, and then just set the papers on the table,
Speaker 1: I will say they will sign them. There. There are
Speaker 1: two distinct examples, one for peeps and one for candy corn.
Speaker 1: Where so there was this little girl when I was little.
Speaker 1: This is this this girl scared the hell out of
Speaker 1: This girl is very scary. All right. First of all,
Speaker 1: what she would do, she would always have peeps around
Speaker 1: peep season, okay, but she would bite the head off
Speaker 1: and spit it out right, just to I guess intimidate people.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. But then the real intimidating thing
Speaker 1: she would do is she would put the rest of
Speaker 1: the peep in her mouth. So now even take bites
Speaker 1: after that, but the whole thing and just like let
Speaker 1: it dissolve. And I was like, oh, you are a
Speaker 1: criminal and then let it sit and I was like,
Speaker 1: you destined for evil things? All right? Where is she now?
Speaker 1: Have you seen her on Facebook? Is she? Okay? I
Speaker 1: have no idea because this wasn't like a kid that
Speaker 1: I knew. I just knew them from being around from
Speaker 1: the summer. That's a crazy little girl. And there's a
Speaker 1: again those just weird summer kids. But it is also like,
Speaker 1: you need marshmallow to do a specific thing. I have
Speaker 1: not figured out what that is because I don't think
Speaker 1: I understand marshmallow as a concept, as a label, as
Speaker 1: a movement. Many marshmallow in hot coco is good. Maybe
Speaker 1: marshmallow in hot Coco is good. There are certain marshmallows
Speaker 1: that makes sense, but like you remember having to play
Speaker 1: like Chubby Bunny in college. Yeah, but those marshmallows are tougher.
Speaker 1: I do. I think I found out that you can't
Speaker 1: do that anymore because some kids choked to death. Plan Yeah,
Speaker 1: some some kid definitely that that truck that happened was
Speaker 1: a bad game. Moderation is what we're trying to teach
Speaker 1: you here. Moderation and what you should moderate is your
Speaker 1: intake peeps because they are zero. You know, it's the
Speaker 1: same from the peeps. Keep it if you can. Now,
Speaker 1: this is the thing. Now when it comes to candy corn. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you know there's the candy corn. First of all,
Speaker 1: somebody was like, I did not know that candy corn
Speaker 1: is supposed to be a replica of a dried corn, Colonel,
Speaker 1: did you know that? I did not know that? And
Speaker 1: I have another thing for you after this, because there's
Speaker 1: another distinct mystery around candy corn. So they're called a
Speaker 1: mellow cream, and it's the name of a type of
Speaker 1: candy made from corn syrup and sugar. They're covered in
Speaker 1: edible wax, which is crazy because it's like why are
Speaker 1: we eating wax? Because you know those milk bottle candies.
Speaker 1: I only had them a few times a kid growing up.
Speaker 1: I didn't see them like milk bottles were one of
Speaker 1: those candies from a candy store. Like that's not something
Speaker 1: way you're rolling up into a quick trip and really saying,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, but like, I don't understand
Speaker 1: the concept of like an edible wax. I enough chewed
Speaker 1: bees wax before it was fine, But eventually I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't need this. I know people hate candy corn,
Speaker 1: but you also do you remember the little pumpkins that
Speaker 1: also would come, Oh, the pumpkin style candy corn. You're
Speaker 1: a little pumpkin shapes. They're like made out of the
Speaker 1: same thing as candy corn. They have the same consistency.
Speaker 1: I really like those. Really, it's so strange, whoa, this
Speaker 1: is no, this is wild because you're essentially saying you
Speaker 1: like candy corn in a different shape. I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: all the same stuff from candy corn. I believe it
Speaker 1: because they sell it like in the same they call it.
Speaker 1: They can have like a Zachary mellow cream automn mix.
Speaker 1: They'll do the candy corn with the child the brown
Speaker 1: into it, and I think it's supposed to be chocolate,
Speaker 1: but that's utterly disgusting. And so it's the yeah as
Speaker 1: the little it's the little pumpkin guys. And I actually
Speaker 1: really like those And I don't know why m hmmm,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure they're made out of the exact same stuff.
Speaker 1: Is candy corn? I'll even I'll pose this question to you.
Speaker 1: And okay, because this is this is plagued me for
Speaker 1: a while because when I look at candy corn, you
Speaker 1: see the yellow, you see the red, and you see
Speaker 1: the white right at the very base of the candy corn.
Speaker 1: What color is it underneath all that color? Is it
Speaker 1: a white piece of candy that gets painted yellow and red?
Speaker 1: Is it a yellow piece of candy that gets topped
Speaker 1: with red and white? Or is it a red piece
Speaker 1: of candy? They get some white and some yellow on
Speaker 1: I They're in about to hit you with some knowledge. Baby.
Speaker 1: You remember this show, uh on that show Unwrapped on
Speaker 1: Food Network where we learned how all the candy was made? Uh? No, No,
Speaker 1: I don't remember that show. So basically, what you do
Speaker 1: is it was on forever. Was the nigger from Doubledare
Speaker 1: was the host of it. So what they do how
Speaker 1: they make candy corn is they have trays filled with
Speaker 1: corn starch and then they have molds that come down,
Speaker 1: So like here, here's a tray of corn starch, and
Speaker 1: then there's a mold that's a triangular shaped mold that
Speaker 1: comes down and so there's like a hundred of on
Speaker 1: there to fill up this tray and it punches down
Speaker 1: and then creates your candy corn shape, right, and they
Speaker 1: pull that out and then they come through and then
Speaker 1: it's liquid sugar that they didn't shoot down into the mold.
Speaker 1: So then they do the white first because that's the tip,
Speaker 1: and then they do the orange, and then they do
Speaker 1: the yellow. And that's how they make candy corn. And
Speaker 1: then when once all of those are and once they're dry,
Speaker 1: they probably shake it out of the corn start and
Speaker 1: then they roll it through the edible wax and then boom,
Speaker 1: now you got a candy corn. Okay. So then when
Speaker 1: you're trying to you know, make peeps, first you pray
Speaker 1: to the devil and then you ask the devil to please,
Speaker 1: you know, come down and give you some of its
Speaker 1: worst confections. I mean, it does make because I've seen
Speaker 1: how they make people. So yeah, they do put the
Speaker 1: candy cord in this big that's exactly what I thought.
Speaker 1: They put it in this big tumbler machine and almost
Speaker 1: like look like the thing that they used to like
Speaker 1: polish rocks, and then they just take the edible wax
Speaker 1: and then just let it just get tossed like that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, with peeps, you can tell it's obviously machine
Speaker 1: that extrudes it down. Yeah. Yeah, because you see a
Speaker 1: peep here the like you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: you just hear that noise just when you look at them.
Speaker 1: I will say, though, for for candy corn, I don't
Speaker 1: understand how you mess up sugar because for as much
Speaker 1: of sugar as candy corn is made of, how to
Speaker 1: get like this? Why is it being like this? Do
Speaker 1: you think it's the wax? Do you think it's the
Speaker 1: coloring habit? Because it's to be the wax, be the wax.
Speaker 1: Well do you remember, like as a kid, having like
Speaker 1: red like a birthday cake with like red frosting on it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just the awful way that red frosting tasted. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: okay that was just me, thank god. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you're not wrong, liketings. Blue is not good. Yeah, sometimes
Speaker 1: blue is not good. Is it the flavoring? Is it
Speaker 1: the coloring of the sugar that makes candy corn awful?
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they took the nastiest orange they could find.
Speaker 1: Maybe they took the back of the orange peel and
Speaker 1: rub that on there, made that the orange and then
Speaker 1: the yellow is just you know, because I'm trying to
Speaker 1: understand also, but the fact that these holiday candies are
Speaker 1: now trying to get into other holidays, Yeah, they're trying
Speaker 1: to infiltrate. So like now in is infiltrating. So now
Speaker 1: there's like Christmas candy corn and they're Halloween peepsh It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: so y'all, wasn't making the money that you used to
Speaker 1: make during your designated because candy corn is a false situation, right,
Speaker 1: It's giving you a lot of October November and then
Speaker 1: we're done and then it's all Christmas candy from there,
Speaker 1: and then it's Valentine's and then it's Easter and then
Speaker 1: it's whatever the funk we're making over the summer. M
Speaker 1: because I think after like St. Pat like, there's not
Speaker 1: really like St. Patrick's Stay candy really because like the
Speaker 1: big time for candy is Valentine's Day. But like I've
Speaker 1: seen Valentine's Day candy corn. So the question is what
Speaker 1: is candy corn doing the sugar, because if it's just
Speaker 1: molten sugar, Because it's like if you make sugar hot, hot,
Speaker 1: hot enough, it'll turn clear like glass, like you know,
Speaker 1: like a hard candy if you melt sugar enough. You know,
Speaker 1: I always thought it was interesting that you couldn't melt
Speaker 1: salt the way you can melt sugar, Like if you
Speaker 1: put sugar in a pan, sugar will melt, it'll melt.
Speaker 1: That's how they make fake glass. I thought, yeah, we've
Speaker 1: seen sugar become so many beautiful things that can look
Speaker 1: like glass. It will become a wonderful hard cotton. This
Speaker 1: so when I looked at the video and it was
Speaker 1: showing the consistency of the white. If you look at
Speaker 1: the consistency of candy corn, they they put in so
Speaker 1: much sugar. It's or they don't heat it up for
Speaker 1: long enough to get it to that clear, super hot face.
Speaker 1: You melted just enough so you can put it into
Speaker 1: a shape. That's probably why when you bite in the
Speaker 1: candy corn, you get the consistency, it gets crumbly. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that one piece of candy corn is maybe
Speaker 1: just fine. One bite into a peep is maybe just fine.
Speaker 1: What ends up happening, though, The reason that we have
Speaker 1: such an aversion to them is because sugar is so addictive.
Speaker 1: That sugar tells you. Sugar fills your head with lies,
Speaker 1: and it fills your mouth with trees. And okay, because
Speaker 1: the sugar tails you have another one, take another bite,
Speaker 1: and before you know it, you're actually indulging in these
Speaker 1: nasty candies. I can say, I want to hold up
Speaker 1: on people saying, I see what you did there, I
Speaker 1: really didn't do it on purpose. Here, I may rem
Speaker 1: want to say, want to ease up, I want to
Speaker 1: hold back. I want to take a moment, take a knee.
Speaker 1: This whole sugar being more addictive than cocaine thing that
Speaker 1: they keep telling us. There are a lot of things
Speaker 1: that people have done for cocaine. Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: they've done any of those things for sugar. Here's the thing, this,
Speaker 1: this is what ends up happening. I think that when
Speaker 1: they say that, they're saying it wrong, because I understand
Speaker 1: what what the people who say that mean. They mean
Speaker 1: that firing off the receptors in your brain and all
Speaker 1: the stuff like that. But the intensity level does not
Speaker 1: hit the same. And because the intensity level doesn't hit
Speaker 1: the same, it doesn't seem like people go as crazy
Speaker 1: for cocaine because unless you have a lot of money,
Speaker 1: you can't do cocaine the way you can do sugar,
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. Also, guess there's more pathways to sugar.
Speaker 1: Cocaine is just cocaine. Yeah, there's sugar and fucking everything.
Speaker 1: They're sugar and things that don't need sugar in them.
Speaker 1: You know, they're sugar in your bread, right that doesn't
Speaker 1: need to be there, No, doesn't. Like that's when when
Speaker 1: you buy real Like, that's when whenever someone ghosted is
Speaker 1: gonna sound cliche. When you go to Europe and you
Speaker 1: have their bread and you're like, oh, I like when
Speaker 1: I was in when we were in London, I was
Speaker 1: eating fucking bread because it wasn't like our bread. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't sugar toast, right, And we talked about just
Speaker 1: this is not applicable at all, but just two seconds
Speaker 1: a friend zone, Yeah what about it? These men in
Speaker 1: bitching about the friend zone? You hold ass fuckers. But wait,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I don't understand. It's like the
Speaker 1: term friend zone was created by men who are attracted
Speaker 1: to their friend hum and never told them, And so
Speaker 1: now you're mad at your friend for not seeing you
Speaker 1: as a paramore when you didn't open your fucking mouth.
Speaker 1: So it's like, I'm in the friend zone. Did you
Speaker 1: tell that girl that you liked her? I'm in the
Speaker 1: friend zone? Did you tell that guy that you liked him?
Speaker 1: Because if you say nothing, because they could easily like
Speaker 1: you back, but they see you as a friend and
Speaker 1: don't want to do anything to the friendship or whatever.
Speaker 1: But now it's like it's seen. Its like, oh, this
Speaker 1: puts like the term friend zone for me always feels
Speaker 1: like you're being punished for being a nice guy. Is
Speaker 1: how I hear people use it, where it's like I'm
Speaker 1: a nice guy and I'm friends with her, but so
Speaker 1: she doesn't see me as a guy she could date
Speaker 1: because we're friends. And it's like, but did you say anything?
Speaker 1: Did you only become friends with her because you wanted
Speaker 1: to date her? And you're so much of a bit
Speaker 1: that you didn't fucking say anything. Because I've known guys
Speaker 1: that have said this and like, did you tell why
Speaker 1: did you become friends with that girl? Well? I liked her,
Speaker 1: so I thought we should become friends first. Then why
Speaker 1: are you mad for being in the friends and if
Speaker 1: you're cunning fucking plan was to be her friend first,
Speaker 1: I I see, I have not used it in that
Speaker 1: way and the way that you're a decent human being.
Speaker 1: But the way that I guess I've seen it, or
Speaker 1: the way that I thought it was applicable, is when
Speaker 1: a person and this actually is like a genderless thing.
Speaker 1: It's when a person knows you like them and they
Speaker 1: like side pocket you, and that thing is like is
Speaker 1: something that I've seen a lot of people go through,
Speaker 1: like men and women, like in all types of relationships,
Speaker 1: like you know, gay and straight. I've seen people know
Speaker 1: someone like them and almost like save them for later.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense what I'm saying? How do you
Speaker 1: know that that person is doing that? I think that
Speaker 1: there's there's definitely a mix of to me, at least,
Speaker 1: there's definitely a mix of signals a person can give
Speaker 1: someone who they knows like them. Because I don't like
Speaker 1: people have like people have liked me, And I just
Speaker 1: made it clear whether I was interested or not and
Speaker 1: then just let it go and that's just what it was.
Speaker 1: But that's why I don't have a decent person. So
Speaker 1: then I think that I think that you wouldn't resort
Speaker 1: to some of the things where there are people who
Speaker 1: know that they can like either get something out of
Speaker 1: this person or get something that they want without having
Speaker 1: to give something, because you wouldn't do that thing. But
Speaker 1: I the way that I've seen and felt like the
Speaker 1: friend zone should be described because I agree with you
Speaker 1: about your thing. Anyone who wants to be friends to
Speaker 1: get in and then it's mad that doesn't turn to
Speaker 1: something else. Well, that's not what you try to make
Speaker 1: so like, how are you going to be mad? Also,
Speaker 1: who doesn't say anything can't be upset. I'm fully with you.
Speaker 1: The only thing that I've seen that I do that
Speaker 1: I don't like when I see it is when someone
Speaker 1: when it's actually not about being their friend and it's
Speaker 1: about uh strength, taking advantage of the fact that this
Speaker 1: person has feelings for you. Yeah that person is also trash.
Speaker 1: Yeah Yeah, that's the only friend zoning that I've seen
Speaker 1: that's not nice. I've seen both where it's it's as
Speaker 1: even like well, I know this guy likes me, and
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do I'm gonna do. He likes to
Speaker 1: take me out and stuff, but I'm never gonna date him.
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't let him take you out. That's me, right.
Speaker 1: It's like it's not it's and it feels passive. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it feels passive for the person doing it because
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, I enjoy his company or whatever. So
Speaker 1: it's not like I'm completely leading him on it. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you kind of you kind of are m or
Speaker 1: someone who because I've also watched to your point about
Speaker 1: two people like you see both, but I've also watched
Speaker 1: people do the dance where I'm like, y'all should just
Speaker 1: go ahead be together, because it will be somebody that
Speaker 1: don't really want to be with that person as a friend,
Speaker 1: they want to date them. Then it's someone who knows
Speaker 1: that they want to date them, but they want some
Speaker 1: favors first. And it's like, y'all are peas of a pod,
Speaker 1: Like y'all, y'all should be together because y'all are both awful. Yeah, yeah, y'all.
Speaker 1: I only became friends with her because I wanted to
Speaker 1: date her. Well, I'm only friends with him because I
Speaker 1: know he wants to date me, and it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: then you both just date. Yeah, y'all, y'all need to
Speaker 1: be together because because clearly you be ruined in anybody
Speaker 1: else's lives you get involved with. These are the peeps
Speaker 1: and candy corns of humans. Yeah, you ever bided to
Speaker 1: a peep and there's a piece of candy corn in it?
Speaker 1: And you need to send the world to hell. Oh God,
Speaker 1: was that phrase, if we can't lower heaven will raise Hell?
Speaker 1: I did not know that. That's the first part of
Speaker 1: that sent like, if we can't lower heaven, will raise Hell.
Speaker 1: I was like, I like this. It also seems a
Speaker 1: lot easier to raise Hell than it is to lower heaven.
Speaker 1: Hell seems much easier to get to. Oh, it is
Speaker 1: very accessible. Heaven is hard. Hell is so easy to
Speaker 1: get to. People who friend zone you aren't really your
Speaker 1: friends their users, And so people are responding to having
Speaker 1: been used and call it the friend zone because maybe
Speaker 1: the friends said it, you're my friend or whatever, but
Speaker 1: they're not really being a friend. And that's why I
Speaker 1: think that people get so upset about it. It's a
Speaker 1: candy corn move. You're out here stelling lies in the seat,
Speaker 1: trying to be like, listen, I'm delicious, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, now you're braining your wax. You fucking fet
Speaker 1: your wax. You're wax. You were supposed to you sweet holiday,
Speaker 1: delicious nous, and you are wax. Ah. That is perfect.
Speaker 1: That is perfect. Has anyone tried to make smores of
Speaker 1: a peeps? Yet? Don't? Don't give ideas like that. Had no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you know white people and you know the internet. The
Speaker 1: thing is with peeps. You can do with peeps whatever
Speaker 1: you can do with a marshmallow. Right. Oh? Should I
Speaker 1: get my nails done like candy corn? Would that be wild?
Speaker 1: I mean it would be wild because you don't I
Speaker 1: love candy corn. That's a great point. But it wouldn't
Speaker 1: be wild? Is And I've seen your els with multiple
Speaker 1: colors on them. That's true. I will step up real
Speaker 1: quick in defense of candy corn being the worst to
Speaker 1: let you know that. Five hours ago it was reported
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts that there is a candy corn recall over
Speaker 1: allergy risks. So what candy corn out here being the worst?
Speaker 1: Let's see in a second. Oh it, uh, there's some
Speaker 1: candy corn that may have some undeclared egg in it,
Speaker 1: but the ingredients on what is in candy corn already
Speaker 1: said egg white, some undeclared eggs. Who knows, maybe these
Speaker 1: are cornish hen eggs. Let me tell you something. I'm
Speaker 1: starting to believe people ain't as strong as they used
Speaker 1: to be. Bro. No, No, we're definitely not. We have
Speaker 1: been eating real food for like three decades now, because
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid, there was one
Speaker 1: kid in yours whole elementary school and had a peanut
Speaker 1: allergy mm hmm. And that was allergic to what was
Speaker 1: that other thing? Or was allergic to like cheese, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: past lactose and tar, like allergic to dairy allergy. Like
Speaker 1: a lot of the kids I grew up with didn't
Speaker 1: have food allergies, or your parents are just like just
Speaker 1: eat it. Yeah, when you don't have means you almost
Speaker 1: can't afford to have the allergy. You almost build up
Speaker 1: an immunity immediately because it's all you can eat. And
Speaker 1: I'm talking like this is like in the suburbs, like
Speaker 1: middle class parents were like, listen, you want to look
Speaker 1: me in my face and tell me you can like
Speaker 1: if a peanut butter sandwich will swell your face up. Fine,
Speaker 1: you don't have to eat this peanut butter like a
Speaker 1: shellfish allergy. Like, I think there were certain allergies where
Speaker 1: we're like, if you don't swell up, we don't believe you.
Speaker 1: Did you see the thing where they're they're telling pregnant
Speaker 1: women now to eat peanut butter at some point during
Speaker 1: pregnancy to help fight their kid having a peanut allergy.
Speaker 1: Well because some women stopped eating it because they were
Speaker 1: worried that the kid might have it. And now they're
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, eat the peanut butter, drink a glass
Speaker 1: of wine. We've doing this ship for a million fucking years.
Speaker 1: These kids can't be as soft as they are, can
Speaker 1: I throw this out to you? Then, I think the
Speaker 1: candy corn might be the worst because it's the least versatile. Like,
Speaker 1: clearly there's peep s'mores, there's peeps dip. There's things that
Speaker 1: peeps are doing in a different form on different platform.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they've got peeps. I put peeps recipes. We
Speaker 1: got peep fruit kebabs, We've got peep pancakes. There's probably
Speaker 1: peep juice out there, Peep Easter brownie should make some brownie,
Speaker 1: some peeps on top. You easter peeps, more dip. Put
Speaker 1: the chocolate in a pan, then you put in some marshmallows.
Speaker 1: He put the peeps on top, putting a skillet, put
Speaker 1: in an oven. Boom Uh. They're talking about using, oh,
Speaker 1: using peeps to make rice crispy treats. Clearly people love
Speaker 1: peeps since they're doing all this extra stuff with peeps
Speaker 1: that they were not doing with candy corn. So what
Speaker 1: we want to do now out it's kick it over
Speaker 1: to y'all. All right, what what are y'all thinking? What
Speaker 1: are y'all feeling about this candy corn peep situation? Which
Speaker 1: one is worse? Please? Let us know which one do
Speaker 1: you hate the most? All right? If you like one
Speaker 1: of them, clearly, maybe hate the other. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Clear that your decision is easier to make. Let us
Speaker 1: know what y'all think. Let us know what you think.
Speaker 1: It's This is the first time we've kind of done
Speaker 1: a race to the bottom. But I feel like that
Speaker 1: because we both agreed in a certain way, Because like listen,
Speaker 1: I think we've decided that candy corn is the worst.
Speaker 1: I think I think we couldn't help but come to
Speaker 1: that conclusion, right, because we didn't, because all since there
Speaker 1: were so many things that were bad about both of them,
Speaker 1: we couldn't really have the kind of you know, back
Speaker 1: and forth we usually have because there's no love involved,
Speaker 1: right yet, so you hate both, it's it's tougher, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this one. It's like I wasn't you didn't pick one
Speaker 1: that I could campaign for. Like if you had hit
Speaker 1: me with Hershey's Kiss being worse than Candy Corn, I
Speaker 1: would have fought you to the death, all right, But
Speaker 1: because it was peeps, you know, I think Candy corn
Speaker 1: edges it out. But it was bad. It was bad
Speaker 1: versus bad. Yeah, so it was erased the bottom? Which
Speaker 1: one is worser? M m? It was, I said at
Speaker 1: the beginning. And so we want to hear from you
Speaker 1: what it. Let us know in the comments of the
Speaker 1: clips under the video that's posted. Let us know which
Speaker 1: one discussed you more, all right? Let us know which
Speaker 1: one you can't support, even even even under pain or
Speaker 1: penalty of prison. Which one you were not put in
Speaker 1: your mouth if somebody was like, listen, it's your freedom
Speaker 1: of your mouth, Okay, I would eat a Candy Corn
Speaker 1: peep sandwich. Just stay out of jail. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, we'd be like, oh, how long
Speaker 1: in jail? Thanks? If you said two days, I do
Speaker 1: two days, did not eat a peep? Two days five,
Speaker 1: no problem. Yeah, if you're like two weeks, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's your freedom or your mouth is white. The
Speaker 1: conuntrum that is that is wow. It's your freedom or
Speaker 1: your bouth takes us to a place that's truly insane. Listen,
