Speaker 1: When did the ice cream arrive? How did you go
Speaker 1: about purchasing it? And what does it taste like?
Speaker 4: So? I was in Walmart looking at the ice cream selection,
Speaker 4: and Van Lewin is a very famous French ice cream
Speaker 4: that we've talked about on this show. They've done mustard flavor,
Speaker 4: They've done mac and Cheese flavor, and most recently, they've
Speaker 4: done Hidden Valley Ranch Flavor.
Speaker 1: Which they just labbo with the Hidden Valley logo on
Speaker 1: the on the box.
Speaker 4: I never thought that they would have it in my
Speaker 4: local Walmart, so I just had to buy it.
Speaker 3: It's five dollars for a pint.
Speaker 2: Yes, you never.
Speaker 1: Think it's going to happen to you until it does,
Speaker 1: you know. That's the damn to say. I think this
Speaker 1: is a pro We're going to start with some four
Speaker 1: twenty news stories, but I feel like this is appropriate.
Speaker 1: This is also for twenty news because how high were
Speaker 1: they when they came up with this one, guys? And
Speaker 1: I'm sure the stoners are gonna get a kick out
Speaker 1: of this one. Guys. It so you did smell it
Speaker 1: and it made a wretching face. So but you haven't
Speaker 1: you haven't tasted it yet.
Speaker 4: No, I've not tasted it yet. It smells like you
Speaker 4: know those vegetable with ranch dips. Yeah, exactly like that,
Speaker 4: which is fine if it's a vegetable with ranch dip.
Speaker 4: But this is fucking ice cream, right, So.
Speaker 1: It smells like vegetable and ranch, or it just smells
Speaker 1: like ranch. Okay, it just smells like ranch dip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that plate has like a smell to it, you
Speaker 2: know what. It's kind of like crisp and freshish, but
Speaker 2: it inherently vegetably and air.
Speaker 4: Also, once I close the thing, there's still like a
Speaker 4: lingering tad flavor in the air.
Speaker 3: Would you like, can I try this?
Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't, but I think you have to
Speaker 2: for the You're sitting right there with it in your hand.
Speaker 2: I'm so curious. Yeah. Oh it's soft, best of luck.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, he's putting it in his mouth. He
Speaker 1: just kind of used one of his fingers to try
Speaker 1: and keep it in his mouth.
Speaker 2: A little bit weird, it's weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Am I doing five dollars on this?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And Vick word just emailed me his resignation in
Speaker 1: the show, So that was great. It was great having
Speaker 1: you on what is what.
Speaker 4: A fawful afters He sorry, it's more vanilla than I
Speaker 4: thought it would be, but back and there's a lot
Speaker 4: of brand.
Speaker 3: It feels like it's coming out of my.
Speaker 1: Nose, a lot of those spices.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is the flavor palette more dominantly sweet or savory?
Speaker 4: More dominantly sweet with a savory after.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really fucked up.
Speaker 1: Vanilla ice cream with a ranch kicker.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 4: So on the tip of your tongue the minute it hits,
Speaker 4: you taste more vanilla, and then as it rolls back
Speaker 4: into your throat and through the nose, that's where all
Speaker 4: the ranch hits.
Speaker 2: Very really awful. That's really gross. That's really gross.
Speaker 3: I also have a champagne flavor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm good on that that. I can see how
Speaker 1: that works. So we're yeah, we're good. But you should
Speaker 1: go enjoy your ice cream. Thank you for taking that
Speaker 1: one for the team. We appreciate you.
Speaker 2: Appreciate you. Oh seven the chat for Victor.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, uh four twenty news. Yes there's an
Speaker 1: edible company that made a four hundred and twenty pound edible.
Speaker 2: Yes, with four point two million milligrams of THC.
Speaker 1: I think Brian just gave that segment an F. Brian
Speaker 1: just wrote F in the chat.
Speaker 2: This is the F is a c jack. This is
Speaker 2: a bit of a gamer reference here. Let me clue
Speaker 2: a little bit. Okay, there is a moment in a
Speaker 2: Call of Duty game where during a cutscene, you press
Speaker 2: the F key to pay respects to the dead. So literally,
Speaker 2: you walk up to a coffin and it says, press
Speaker 2: F to pay respects. And that is now a meme
Speaker 2: that has been used all over where people just press
Speaker 2: F and chat to.
Speaker 1: Of course, I knew that I was just, you know,
Speaker 1: doing a fun joke. But all games, you can assume
Speaker 1: I know about all gamer memes and everything I'm doing
Speaker 1: is just a joke about how dumb I am, but
Speaker 1: that the clueless doesn't actually game doesn't know every single
Speaker 1: gamer meme character is a character I play for your
Speaker 1: entertainment people.
Speaker 2: You really know it?
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you, it's believable.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I'm not normally an actor, but that, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: that character I just really can get inside the skin
Speaker 1: of Victor reports Champagne flavorworks. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Nice. Back to the sawl This.
Speaker 1: Edible is big and it looks sticky. It looks like
Speaker 1: a giant caramel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just the fact it's so for those who are curious.
Speaker 2: This link shows a person sitting in what looks like,
Speaker 2: you know, sitting on the floor of a restaurant or
Speaker 2: a floor of a kitchen rather where a big tarp
Speaker 2: has been laid out, and a giant slab of chocolate
Speaker 2: with zen printed in twos because I imagine that that
Speaker 2: is the company that makes the edibles. Zen is pressed
Speaker 2: into the top. And it's like the size of a
Speaker 2: dinner table, like a thick dinner table.
Speaker 1: It's the size of a like California king size waterbed.
Speaker 1: It's a big ass bed.
Speaker 2: And there's two things I'm thinking here. One, like, unless
Speaker 2: that room is a refrigerator that's melting and it's gross. Two,
Speaker 2: there's no way it's a four hundred and twenty pound
Speaker 2: chocolate with one hundred pounds of weed in it. There's
Speaker 2: no way this thing tastes good at all. And so
Speaker 2: it's just like, what are we doing here? I obviously
Speaker 2: from and we're talking about it. So mission accomplished from
Speaker 2: this damn thing for making this damn chocolate. But like
Speaker 2: that's got to taste gross.
Speaker 1: The kitchen that it's in looks like it smells like
Speaker 1: a dirty mop, like it's just got that it, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: middle school cafeteria look to it. So I don't trust
Speaker 1: them to have any less than like three hundred insects
Speaker 1: that have crawled through this what during the process of
Speaker 1: making it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the back of a restaurant called Reads and
Speaker 2: one of the ease has fallen off of the sign.
Speaker 1: That's right. Also, just on the other side of things,
Speaker 1: the police are really underestimating stoners. It's hard to underestimate stoners,
Speaker 1: but this is this is unfair. So they basically what
Speaker 1: they did police department in Pennsylvania is offering to check
Speaker 1: out stoner's quote product on four twenty, which seems like
Speaker 1: bait for an obvious trap. They're offering a free bag
Speaker 1: of Doritos if you let them check out your product,
Speaker 1: which do people who smoke we refer to it as product.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's just from pretty much like cocaine movies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing you say to your friend when
Speaker 2: you're being cheeky coming home from like the dispensary, and
Speaker 2: they send you back lol.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, I got the product. I got the
Speaker 1: stuff exactly. Man, let me check out your stuff. And
Speaker 1: then also, if you are willing to turn in your dealer,
Speaker 1: they'll give you a family sized bag of Doritos.
Speaker 2: I mean it really feels like, can be turn on
Speaker 2: your friends for Doritos. Yes, it's a joke for cops
Speaker 2: by coops, Like it feels like they surely don't expect
Speaker 2: to have anyone actually do this and it's just a
Speaker 2: dig at Stoner's.
Speaker 1: Maybe they do. I could see them being like, yeah, watch,
Speaker 1: we'll get the hopheads in here and they'll let us
Speaker 1: test their drug right maybe yeah, maybe.
Speaker 2: It's two on the nose. It's too it's a poor
Speaker 2: written joke. It's like a joke from a bad sitcom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyways, acab includes uh no it doesn't. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: were if this had been what if this had been
Speaker 1: like Derrito's collab exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Most most stnor comment to blame Doritos and then instantly
Speaker 2: renege on the blaming.
Speaker 1: Just to be like, yeah, it's like, we do love you.
Speaker 2: Favorite Dorita's flavor. Go what's your favorite flavor?
Speaker 1: I mean it's got to be nacho cheese.
Speaker 2: Straight up, nacho cheese, straight up. I'm a spicy notcho guy,
Speaker 2: but I love the nacho cheese of course.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's just a classic I think they've really like
Speaker 1: whatever the food science is, it's the peak of food science.
Speaker 1: It's just everything about it is perfect and impossible to
Speaker 1: stop eating. And yeah, that's that is what we have
Speaker 1: instead of public transportation in this country, so we might
Speaker 1: as well enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Fact.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back
Speaker 1: talk Frank Oshan, but news all that shit, and we're back.
Speaker 1: Frank ocean Yes is leaving Coachella. He's abandoning his Week
Speaker 1: two show citing a broken ankle. I'm having trouble dealing
Speaker 1: with my feelings around this, people are saying. And that's
Speaker 1: why he abandoned the ice skating rink portion of his show,
Speaker 1: which made me wonder was he going to be ice skating?
Speaker 1: Yeah during like in that version in his head, because
Speaker 1: that's like I have this, like I have terrible stage fright,
Speaker 1: and like, so I'll like write a bunch of jokes
Speaker 1: before a live show that I immediately spike. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm writing them for a version of me that doesn't
Speaker 1: have stage fright, and like I just immediately like spike
Speaker 1: thirty jokes the second I get on stage and be like, no,
Speaker 1: that's not funny. That's not funny. I'm like believe he
Speaker 1: has like really horrendous stage fright, and sure the idea
Speaker 1: that like the version of him like from before the
Speaker 1: show was like and then I get out there and
Speaker 1: I start doing triple axles, and like, is just so
Speaker 1: funny to me the idea that someone would be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have stage fright. But the way I'm going to
Speaker 1: get around that is to just make myself be the
Speaker 1: most glorious and graceful figure skater, even though that's not
Speaker 1: really my thing, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, if we found out that Frank Ocean was
Speaker 2: a legendary ice d ancer, like that's the anime arc
Speaker 2: that no one expected that is, that would be an
Speaker 2: incredible story.
Speaker 1: And this one of the greatest sliding door moments in
Speaker 1: pop culture history that he just like doesn't break his
Speaker 1: ankle during run through of the thing, and we're now
Speaker 1: instead of like wondering what happened to this live show,
Speaker 1: we're all just like marveling that he just hid the
Speaker 1: fact that he was an amazing ice dancer up to
Speaker 1: the last moment and it was just.
Speaker 2: It was just unknown to us all. Yes, you said
Speaker 2: you were battling with your feelings on this, Like what
Speaker 2: are your feelings.
Speaker 1: I've never thought that live performing was or like any
Speaker 1: any sort of like really energetic, care free live performance,
Speaker 1: like the thing that I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: go to Coachella for, like something that where like you're
Speaker 1: just getting energy from the artist, you know, Like I've
Speaker 1: never thought that would ever be a thing that I
Speaker 1: would get. So like going into the live show, I
Speaker 1: was worried for him, like I was at the Coachella.
Speaker 1: The one coachel I went to was the one where
Speaker 1: Outcasts was there, and what a year? What a year?
Speaker 1: Except I was there the first week and they hadn't
Speaker 1: had the like sound locked in and so it like
Speaker 1: sounded like shit. And then like you get the sense
Speaker 1: of like the audience is not there for an outcast show.
Speaker 1: It's not an outcast audience, and so people were like,
Speaker 1: yea sucks, and like just like walked away and stuff.
Speaker 1: So like anytime there's like an artist who's coming back
Speaker 1: after a long period and it's like an important artist,
Speaker 1: and like when they do that at Coachella, it never
Speaker 1: goes well. Like halfway through the set, Andre was like,
Speaker 1: are you guys there, what's happening? Like like the crowd
Speaker 1: was so bad he had to keep like asking people
Speaker 1: if they were alive. So, I just this is a
Speaker 1: bad setup for somebody who isn't like known to be
Speaker 1: a live performer, and you know, is coming back after
Speaker 1: seven years at a festival that's just music. Live music
Speaker 1: fans and like people who like to put flower wreaths
Speaker 1: in their hair like that's you know, are just like
Speaker 1: there for the gram Sure, yeah, totally totally. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm not mad at him. I wish it
Speaker 1: had gone better for him. But I also think it's
Speaker 1: very funny that they went from Frank Ocean too Blank
Speaker 1: twenty eighty two.
Speaker 2: That is, that is very funny. I think that totally
Speaker 2: fits the kind of grammable, nostalgic music fan vibe that
Speaker 2: should play in a mainstage, especially after not performing fully
Speaker 2: together for like nine years. I think blankwin eighty two
Speaker 2: like taking over that spot kind of like perfectly makes sense.
Speaker 2: I think there's a little bit of if I'm I
Speaker 2: love Frank, but I think you know, the phrase separating
Speaker 2: the art from the artist, I think that is a
Speaker 2: tough thing to do when it comes to people who
Speaker 2: were like say Nazis or you know, people who are
Speaker 2: abusers or something like that. Yeah, that's one thing. But
Speaker 2: with Frank, it's like, I just don't think I want
Speaker 2: to go see Frank Ocean live. I love Frank's music
Speaker 2: so much, but there hasn't been a live performance that
Speaker 2: I've seen from him ever that I was like, Wow,
Speaker 2: so glad I got to see this live. It's just
Speaker 2: like frankly never blowing me out of the water ever that.
Speaker 1: Said, I was never blowing you out of the ocean exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Frank, And I look back at his FYF said
Speaker 2: as which is a fuck yafes in La from twenty
Speaker 2: seventeen one of his one of his I mean, one
Speaker 2: of his last sets, and it was him on a
Speaker 2: on like basically the main stage had a catwalk to
Speaker 2: a smaller stage and it was just him on the
Speaker 2: catwalk with a wurlitzer and some like I mean really
Speaker 2: cool you can choose and he just kind of like
Speaker 2: stood up and sat down and kind of occupied this
Speaker 2: very small space that was kind of off of the
Speaker 2: main stage, a little less lights, right in the center
Speaker 2: of the crowd, and that was like maybe the best
Speaker 2: scenario in which I had ever seen him perform. And
Speaker 2: it was really kind of like intimate and magical and cool,
Speaker 2: and to me, it feels like the best place to
Speaker 2: see Frank Ocean might be at like a bar with
Speaker 2: forty other people. Yeah, and that this is just not
Speaker 2: something that suits him, So just go do that. Just
Speaker 2: a bar, Yeah, go do that. That sounds like it
Speaker 2: might be the best situation to see Frank Ocean, So like,
Speaker 2: you know, but at the same time, I also think
Speaker 2: with the amount of times that this dude has canceled
Speaker 2: on big shows, like to Golden Voice, you reap what
Speaker 2: you sew Like if you're going to trust this dude
Speaker 2: who has canceled so many times at big performances and
Speaker 2: also is not a big stage performer like this, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't think maybe I don't think you
Speaker 2: maybe offer this slot to Frank Ocean personally, not that
Speaker 2: I don't think he's this.
Speaker 1: They got exactly what they wanted, though, I mean, like
Speaker 1: now Coachella is headline news everywhere, like across the board,
Speaker 1: Like the awareness of Coachella is now better than it's
Speaker 1: ever been, Like this is great for them.
Speaker 2: Do you think that was on purpose?
Speaker 1: Sure? Like you get the big name and then you
Speaker 1: worry about the results later, And I think it was
Speaker 1: definitely not something that was out of the realm of
Speaker 1: the possibilities that they were taking into account when they
Speaker 1: were booking him as the artist, I would guess. But
Speaker 1: like any live event planning, there's definitely like a shitty,
Speaker 1: like shrewdness where you know, like the Academy Awards and
Speaker 1: like things going horribly wrong at the Academy Awards. Like
Speaker 1: they're not stupid, They're not like that was the worst
Speaker 1: thing that's ever happened to the Academy. No, no, of course,
Speaker 1: not no, of course, So I would imagine that it's
Speaker 1: not bothering them that much.
Speaker 2: So this has happened my only this isn't the rebut
Speaker 2: this is more just like a totally Also, this is
Speaker 2: the first year that Coachella has not sold out weekend
Speaker 2: two specifically, Oh is it? Yes? And it's not that
Speaker 2: I'm like saying this was some wild forty chess, but
Speaker 2: I don't think if Frank Ocean had done a good set,
Speaker 2: a decent set, it would have moved the needle on
Speaker 2: Coachella at all. Right, And I think this is a
Speaker 2: boon for them. You're one hundred percent right. The amount
Speaker 2: of people are talking about Coachella. Now more people will
Speaker 2: probably go next year, but like weekend to sales with
Speaker 2: the first time and it didn't sell out, and so
Speaker 2: Coachella a little bit losing its cachet specifically because it's
Speaker 2: now just a gram thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So like, yeah, I might be wrong, but I
Speaker 1: just less.
Speaker 2: About wrong and more about like, I think it really
Speaker 2: worked out for them. I think I think you're right.
Speaker 2: There was somebody who's like, hey, maybe he bombs and
Speaker 2: it's dope, but that person was definitely quietest in the room, right.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, shout out to Golden Voice, the massive corporation
Speaker 1: behind Coachella.
Speaker 2: Who sucks shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and finally just ri ipd BuzzFeed News. They shuddered.
Speaker 1: You know, it was always weird to me when they
Speaker 1: like brought Ben Smith in from the New York Times
Speaker 1: and like tried to be real news. But like they
Speaker 1: succeeded and you know, had some really good journalism, like
Speaker 1: got venture capital money invested in actual journalism. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's not good whether there will be fewer journalists getting
Speaker 1: paid to do their job and fewer budgets to do
Speaker 1: the work of journalism, which that figure was already anemic.
Speaker 1: They did announce that they were going away with a
Speaker 1: callback to it. They just said BuzzFeed News signed off
Speaker 1: with a reminder that Blippy shit on his friend's check.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they said shit necessarily, but that
Speaker 1: was the news alert I got from them letting me
Speaker 1: know that they were going away, and I appreciated that.
Speaker 1: And then it was just just sent you to the
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen story where they broke it, where they broke
Speaker 1: that news. It's the bummer the word. It's getting dumber.
Speaker 2: Yeah, media and news is being shrunk down to TikTok
Speaker 2: sound bite. It's from that one person who's like, why
Speaker 2: is no one talking about this?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, it's just there used to be an understanding
Speaker 1: that the media was important for reasons outside of like
Speaker 1: driving profit, and like that idea now seems like wild
Speaker 1: anachronistic in our world, like that anybody would invest money
Speaker 1: in something just because it's good for the overall health
Speaker 1: of society. So anyways, rip and thank you for the
Speaker 1: Blippy story.
Speaker 2: Thank you for Blippy story.
Speaker 1: I don't know any other journalistic institution that would have
Speaker 1: had the courage to break that, and I don't like,
Speaker 1: I actually didn't look into this. I don't think they
Speaker 1: won a pullet or anything for like a Peabody or
Speaker 1: like anything for that work. But you know, they just
Speaker 1: did it. They just did the damn work that needed
Speaker 1: to be done. So shout out to them, Shout out
Speaker 1: to them. Shout out to you DJ Dan all for
Speaker 1: filling in for Miles.
