1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Cookies are having a moment in Los Angeles for sure,

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: and Ruby's got a list of the best cookies in

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: LA here. You know, cookies are my soft spot. And

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: I remember there was a time where I was really

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: tight with the manager at d de Rees in Westwood. Oh,

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: I remember that, And I had the manager's cell phone

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: and there's always a huge line, and I would call

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: the manager and say how long is the line? And

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: sometimes if it were not along line, I'd reroute myself

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: to go pick up the ice cream sandwiches. Now you

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: have like a password, I'm not giving away the path.

12
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: The manager's no longer there, so it doesn't work. Yeah,

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: I used to use your password. It was a sad

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: day when I found out that manager moved on, yeah

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: to another cookie house. All right, what are the best cookies?

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: So how did you frame this up? Ruby?

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: So, I mean, I've just been seeing a lot of

18
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,959
