This is all Fantasy
Everything, the podcast where we fantasy
draft anything and everything from the world
of pop culture. On today's episode,
we're drafting candy bars.
Our guest today is the
stand-up comedian, daily show correspondent, just wonderful person overall, Roy Wood Jr.
I'm your host, Ian Carmel, and with me, as always, are my friends and comedians, Sean
Jordan and David Borey. Let's get into it. Welcome to another brand new episode of All Fantasy Everything,
the podcast that has a hard out.
So let's get into it, baby.
Sean Jordan is here David
Borey is here Roy Wood Jr. is here Roy you wanted to draft candy bars you recently said when you
joined the zoom that you were the number one candy bar seller in the 1996 baseball uniform
fundraiser is that true indeed Ramsey High School we used to sell chips like every black high school
you had to sell and I don't know if it's every black
high school but i know high schools in birmingham in the 90s yeah you all sold some form of a
fucking treat or snack to raise money so it was either turtles or pecan logs or it was potato
chips or it was snicker bars like like you, the South is known for having those kids on the off-ramp
with those random, this is a $3 fundraiser chocolate,
but you'd really sell it for five and pocket the two.
We still get, like, in my neighborhood.
Yeah, go on, Dave.
In San Francisco, there'd be all these kids in my bus stop
who were, like, for sure 20, and they'd be like, hey, I'm raising money for my basketball team.
I'd be like, you're here with your child.
Yeah.
That's what we were having dinner in L.A.
And somebody was selling candy bars.
And my wife asked some penetrating questions.
About?
No, you can't dig.
It was crazy.
I was like, well, I was like, I'm going to buy one for sure.
We're probably going to buy a few now the way i looked at it is that if you're lying about selling
candy bars for kids then you're this is the last thing before robbery yeah yeah go ahead and buy a candy bar. So, yeah, here's $2, man. Don't rob people.
Yeah.
It's a fundraiser for a good cause, no matter what way you slice it.
Also, you walk out of the situation with a candy bar.
Like, you can't lose here.
It's fine.
Yeah, you do have a candy bar.
And we are drafting those candy bars today on All Fantasy Everything.
The way we determine that order of that draft is through a rollicking game of rock, paper, scissors.
Play between the three of you, and we throw on shoot.
Here we go.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
David wins.
Unnatural victory.
An unnatural victory.
He throws a paper against two scissors.
I'm about to shake up the world.
Victor, he throws a paper against two scissors.
I'm about to shake up the world.
As the winner of Rock, Paper, Scissors, David is incumbent upon you
to determine the order of today's draft.
Before you do that, I will remind you
it's a serpentine draft.
And what is that?
That's a great question.
I just started watching the new season of Winning Time
and a serpentine draft is kind of like
what the basketball does on a three-man weave.
So the people weave, but the basketball
itself goes across, down,
back across, down, back across,
down, back across. Sort of like a snake.
It's a perfect explanation.
Forward, then backwards.
Forward, then backwards.
I'm going to try
to go off on this guy.
Basically, if you pick fourth in the first round you pick first in the second round
RIP to winning time by the way
it's all done
I just started the second season
it's fun man
the people playing Magic Johnson and Larry Bird
and Kareem especially were like
in a show about like actual
athletes who exist it's hard to
find people doing that better than winning time
he's that tall.
Let me ask you a question
about that brother,
Quincy. I'll find his last
name in a second. I try to make sure to know
the names of actors.
Quincy Isaiah.
Quincy Isaiah.
Is it
your dream come true to
play a legend like that in a beautifully produced series for a network like HBO and then find out you don't have Magic Johnson's blessing because all the Lakers fucking hate the series.
They hate it.
Even Magic?
Magic?
I don't know if Magic hates it, but he for sure ain't cosigning that shit.
Kareem hates it.
Kareem is like, on the record, I'm going to write an op-ed about y'all.
Right.
Yeah, which is so Kareem.
Which is very Kareem.
According to the show, he's a real dickhead.
Kareem hating it is almost like a seal of approval because it's like, he hates everything but the reboot of Veronica Mars at this point.
How's Larry Bird feel about it?
Larry Bird's just like, yeah, I love it.
Larry Bird's like, what's HBO?
I'm on a farm somewhere.
What I love about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is that he doesn't hate tweet.
He doesn't talk shit.
Fuck that show tweet.
He just goes, I wrote 14,000 words for The Atlantic about the disparity between the portrayal of 1980s cocaine culture as it relates to the
it's like whoa bro
there's gonna be some shit woven in there
about the AIDS epidemic and it being
sensational like you'll like feel bad
have the system failed Norm Nixon
just like all this
I'm over here like
just say you didn't party bro
just say you didn't party
but it's a great show I'm happy for that cast.
But that was the one thing I really wish they could have had.
I really wish that, you know, the show had been embraced a little more by the actual, you know, people that, you know, the story is being told about.
It would have helped.
It would have helped to get a Magic Johnson tweet where it's like the television show Winning Time airs on HBO Sunday nights at 9 o'clock.
Just one of those purely factual Magic Johnson tweets.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know the ones where he's like,
LeBron James is going to need to score 24 points here and get 12 rebounds.
As they are 25 points down.
I wanted Winning to go like 10,
12 seasons.
So they would get all the way up to the magic Johnson late night show.
Oh yeah.
The magic hour.
Who's playing young Mayim Bialik,
like sitting on the panel.
Old Mayim Bialik.
They're going to do the Irishman.
Yeah.
Do the CGI Young'em up.
As long as she doesn't have to kick the shit out of Joey Lawrence,
I think we'll be able to get away with it.
By the way, I went back.
That's one of the best theme songs of all time.
Absolutely.
Awesome.
One of the best theme songs.
In my opinionation, is that that one?
Yeah.
The sun is going to show.
Yeah, that's a good one.
In your opinionation, David, what will the order of today's draft be there he goes i gotta go first
sean second roy third and fourth oh baby hot corner hot corner back to back well let's get
right into it we're not even taking a break before this david boer you have the first pick
in the candy bars all fantasy everything draft everything draft. What will? That first candy bar. Well, you don't fuck with
candy all that much, so this is fun.
No, I don't fuck with candy all that much.
You do know that. So that's why this first
I'm going full villain. I want you
to know I don't give a shit about
you. I hate you. And I'm
going to go evil from the jump
because fuck you. First of all,
number one pick in the candy
bar draft. I'm taking Almond Joy.
What?
Jesus.
Fucking Christ.
It's delicious.
Fucking.
It's good.
It's Kelly Jordan's favorite candy bar
from way back.
You got my mom's seal of approval.
Me, AJ, and nobody else.
I don't give a shit about you guys.
Drafted a role player.
It's gonna work out better than you all thought.
Need to roll a toilet paper to barf it up.
It's gonna work out better than you all thought.
Everybody talks shit like Almond Joy hasn't been
around for 60 fucking years.
It's one of the originators.
It started this candy bar shit
and this is the motherfucking things it gets
no I take it where it deserves
there's been Almond Joys in my freezer
for 65 years too
I like an Almond Joy
I love coconut
I'm with you
I don't even like candy bars like that
but I like Almond Joy
as a kid I would trade, but I like Almond Joy. I don't know, man. As a kid, I would trade for it after Halloween.
Almond Joy.
Really?
What a sucker.
You would just collect fucking Almond Joys and mounds?
Did you eat mounds too?
No, no, no.
Mounds are for psychopaths.
He feels like a nut.
They're on the same street.
That's like three musketeers in fucking Milky Way
one of them has a whole thing in their house
one doesn't
I will say a man's
the nut's a big difference
the nut is a big difference because your teeth just
keep going
the man's is like a
gas planet it's like Venus you can just
keep flying all the way through it man
I don't acknowledge Mounds.
You know.
Almond Joy with the first overall pick?
Yep.
Almond Joy.
I like the colors.
If you gave me an Almond Joy sweatsuit right now, I would wear it out.
Well, that's not fair.
Of course.
It is good.
That's not fair.
That's not fair.
I'd be furious if you did.
That's probably the dopest sweatsuit you're going to get out of these
they don't have commercials anymore
they don't have endorsements
they go by pure product
quality of product
it's a good point you bring up though
not a lot of these candy bars
they don't have ads anymore like a lot of these
because Almond Joy is like broadcast
television they're letting it die with the baby boomers
you know what I mean?
You're going to watch CBS till this country goes to hell.
It's forever and ever, baby.
It was invented in 1946 because after World War II, we thought anything was possible.
First of all, I will say that era, everything was candy.
We've been rationing meat.
Well, the boys came back from the big war and invented a coconut candy
bar. Wouldn't you know?
What are the boys doing after
they fought the war? Coconut. That's what they're doing.
They used to ship out boxes of mounds
to the troops and every one there would be
an Almond Joy. It was the lucky.
And then they would just run
onto the beach rather than eat that shit.
They were charged up by the coconut.
They'd just go get in the boats like, there's got to be another battle, right?
They'd run up to those Nazi tanks, stick an Almond Joy to it, and then run away.
And then that disappointment would kill Jerry.
All right, well, you'll be remembered as a madman or a genius, but there's no in-between there.
Sean Jordan, what is your first pick in the candy bar draft?
I've got I mean, I got to go just first thing popped in my head. Snickers.
It's the best candy bar. It's got it all. It's not too big.
This is the best one I could think of. It's got all the got all the ingredients that I want.
It's been my go to since day one one I feel like that's the candy bar that's the closest
to real
yeah
yeah
that's such a David
thought
I was ready to
accept it like you're right it is the closest to real
no because I've had times where I was down bad
I had no money but like
you get your snickers
that'll get you to tomorrow you want to talk about the ad campaigns you talked to me about
patrick chewing all day long what's up ryan you remember that yeah well they've kind of pushed it
so this i think and maybe this speaks to how it's not that great of a candy bar something you can't
take back i'm taking i'm saying everything their marketing has been like are
you hungry eat this which would also be the marketing for like a cliff bar you know what
i mean or like uh or like a an apple right but it's also the worst thing you could eat if you're
fucking hungry if your body is saying it is is your metabolism. And they're like, yeah, sugar stick.
We used to get like to go skating all day.
We'd go get like a bit,
the biggest Mountain Dew they had.
And then the biggest Snickers they had,
that would be my fuel for the day when I was 16.
And it works that way.
My heartbeat's a little fast now that I'm 41,
but that's neither here nor there.
I'm saying that should have been sneakers.
Like I snickers, like actual marketing campaign.
Like, are you to have, is your, is your heartbeat too pleasant?
Why wait?
You going on a first date?
I mean, snickers still advertisers.
And I mean, they still have like all of the, I will say that if you're just going, and
then also just for the sake of this draft, when we draft, we're drafting that brand
and I can't
come behind you and go Snickers almond.
I think I get them all.
No chance.
No chance.
No, no, no.
I think it's in play.
I'm picking OG Snickers.
If somebody takes Snickers almond, you're insane.
Speaking of gear, do you remember that
I think it's called Smell Your Dick. You remember that song? That guy had a Snickers almond. You're insane. Speaking of gear, do you remember that? I think it's called Smell Your Dick.
You remember that song?
Yes, I do.
That guy had a Snickers.
You thought I wasn't going to remember that song?
The guy in that video was wearing a Snickers jacket, a leather Snickers jacket.
Do you remember that?
Yeah.
It was a Snickers NASCAR jacket.
It was crazy.
A Snickers jacket.
Ricky Rudd, NASCAR jacket.
Ricky Rudd was sponsored by Snickers.
You can still get these on eBay.
Kyle Busch Jr. too.
There's too many Snickers flavors.
And I just think it's...
There's a big word alert.
The Doritofacation of American snack foods.
I'll take it.
Is a real problem.
Oh, so you read my thesis?
Well, as you can see,
I have all of my honorary degrees.
That's right.
See, I'll take anything you got.
Just give me regular Snickers.
I don't need Snickers peanut butter.
There's peanut brownie.
The Snickers ice cream bar wasn't bad,
but the problem was that the ice cream
and the caramel didn't melt at the same time.
At the same rate.
So you had a viscosity bite issue.
Snickers hazelnut,
we don't need.
We don't need Snickers made with almond butter.
White chocolate Snickers.
It's like, why?
I'm sure some of this shit
is probably foreign country shit though. It's what? I think it's I'm sure some of this shit is probably foreign country shit, though.
It's what?
I think it's just to get,
it's to get your Sean Jordans.
This man is a consumer.
They market to me.
Give me all the Mountain Dews
you can think of.
Give me all the Doritos
you can think of.
I'm all over.
I'm in there like swimwear
for all of them.
Blasphemy.
I'm not a purist in any.
Nacho Chinis, Cool Ranch.
The end.
Bro.
Oh, no.
You don't like taco Doritos?
Oh, no. I know this like taco Doritos? Oh no.
I know this sounds very much like God created two genders.
There are no other flavors.
Let me correct my inflection.
There's a Cool Ranch and there's a Nacho and that's it.
It's Nacho and Ranch, not Nacho and Steve.
Yeah.
You can identify as a spicy sweet chili if you want to but i know that you're a cool ranch
sometimes it's like it's a spin-off thing sometimes you get a joey sometimes you get
a frazier you know what i mean sometimes you get like a solid spin-off that sticks around
frazier's coming back. Anyway.
Yeah, but without Niles, dude.
Yeah, yeah.
Roy, it is time for your first pick.
I've been looking at the draft board here, boys.
Snickers almond?
There's a lot of good ones to go through here.
But pound for pound.
And this is also when
you're deconstructing
a candy bar.
It's really good if you eat it piece by piece.
Like, you know, as a kid.
So I'm going to go with the OG
Twix, preferably caramel.
None of that cookies and cream
fuck shit and all of that
other stuff that they do with the Twix.
What about peanut butter?
Come on. This is caramel only. fuck shit and all of that other stuff that they do with Twitch. What about peanut butter? You fuck with the peanut butter Twix? Nonsense.
Come on.
This is wild.
It's so early in the morning for all these hard to piss.
It's crazy. It's still on the board.
That's what peanut butter Twix is.
Twix is...
That was going to be my first pick.
That is fantastic.
It's also two.
It's two.
The downside to Twix, and I can't explain it,
but I feel like the chocolate melts differently.
The chalkier chocolate.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not the same.
And I know it's the same company.
I imagine the Twix room is next to the other chocolate that's going for other shit.
But for whatever reason, that Twix chocolate, if you catch a bad one, it's bad.
It's bad.
Like certain candy you can eat, you can soldier through stale.
You cannot eat a stale Twix.
The chocolate flakes off of the cookies.
The caramel is dry.
So all you're left is just with a cookie stick, which I can eat by itself, which I low-key,
I cannot prove this in a court of law.
I believe that the Twix cookie is a Girl Scout tree foil.
Oh, I like this.
Bring this up.
These are the theories we're here for.
It's a butter cookie for sure in there.
Ding, ding.
Yeah.
Now we get into the actual crumbling, the way it bites.
Listen, the crumb per bite rate is similar to a fucking tree foil.
Yeah.
So I cannot prove it, but I really feel like if not, then I would suggest someone make homemade Twix.
I'm saying.
With Girl Scout cookies.
Yes.
I would have thought it was a Lorna Doom.
Y'all know about Lorna Dooms? I do know about Lorna Dooms. Lorna Doom is a commercial Girl Scout cookies. Yes. Uh-huh. I would have thought it was a Lorna Doon. Do y'all know about Lorna Doons?
I do know about Lorna Doons. Lorna Doon is a commercial
Girl Scout tree foil.
Yeah.
Not the same flavor,
but if you're jonesing
for a Girl Scout cookie
out of season,
Lorna Doon will get you through.
If you go to like a restaurant
where they come up to the table
and say,
we do things a little different here,
it's small plates,
you know what I mean,
that kind of thing,
and you see on the dessert menu,
like they've done a homemade Twix.
I'm going to get that Twix every time
because it's like,
it's a cookie forward dessert,
or a cookie forward candy bar,
which is not common.
Yeah.
Not common.
You're not going to get a lot of other of those
in the draft.
Well, and you get a little drum.
You can drum before you eat it.
You know, you can give yourself a little drum roll.
You can do both at once.
You could break them into fourths,
dude.
It's a,
it's also a texture.
It's a texture.
You would break them into fourths.
Give yourself walrus tusks with them.
That's fun.
That's a fun thing that someone could do.
Yeah.
Just leave them hanging out of your mouth.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Go about your business.
Scrape the caramel off the top.
Go to the bank.
Do we all say,
how do we say caramel or caramel? How do we do it?
It's caramel, right? Caramel.
Caramel. I'm a caramel guy.
Caramel. Caramel. I'm a caramel
guy, but I'm also a heathen.
So do you say Twix would have
like cookies and caramel is what you'd say?
That's what I would say, yes.
Wild. Is that wild?
That's wild.
Of all the things I've said a mask the whole pandemic is wild but
that's just like that was crazy

This episode of All Fantasy Everything is brought to you by Policy Genius.
Policy Genius, I'm going to hit you.
We're going to talk about some life insurance stuff real quick. Now, 40% of people with life insurance
wish they'd gotten their policy at a younger age. Of course you do. I wish I'd done everything at
a younger age. That's neither here nor there. Policy Genius, essentially, it just helps you
get the life insurance you need fast so you can get on with your life. With Policy Genius,
you can find life insurance policies that start at just $292 per year for $1 million of coverage. Some options offer same-day approval
and avoid unnecessary medical exams. So I have life insurance. It had nothing to do with me.
It's my wife did everything, but it's tough. It's a hassle to go through and get.
You have to research it, which I don't like
researching anything. If I buy something, I just go into the person that works at the store and
say, what is right in the middle? What's not the best? What's not the worst? And that is how I do
it. With life insurance, obviously, you want to be a little bit more careful about that. But how
do I know where to start? You know what I mean? I have no idea what to do, where to look. Nobody does.
And that's what Policy Genius does. They just go in, they find and compare all the best quotes for you. They just go to all the nation's top insurers, and then they give you your best
options. They're just a few clicks, and then you're going to find your lowest price.
And their expert license support team is your advocate. They work for you. They're not getting
bonuses. They're not getting anything like. They work for you. They're not getting bonuses.
They're not getting anything like that from certain insurance companies. They're not out
there being smarmy. They just want to help you out. They're answering the questions,
handling the paperwork, shaking the hands, kissing the babies. They're doing it all for you.
And if you don't have life insurance, I know it sucks to talk about or to think about,
but you're just going to stick people with the bill. You're going to stick your loved ones with the bill. Don't nobody want to do that. You know what I mean?
Get covered. I don't want anyone inheriting my debt. And then they see what I spent money on,
probably. I don't need all that nonsense in my life. Get it covered. Get an insurance policy.
Get it handled. And like I said, Policy Genius gives you unbiased advice from
a licensed expert support team. They have thousands of five-star
reviews on Google, Trustpilot from customers who've felt the benefits of their service.
So get on it. Don't wait. Don't hesitate. Don't procrastinate. Oh, yeah, I got a song on Spotify
as a rapper. That's neither here nor there. Don't put off life insurance. Make it easy with Policy
Genius. Head to policygenius.com or click the link in the description to get
your free life insurance quotes and see how much
you could save. That's PolicyGenius.com.
It's time for my first pick and then my second pick
as it is a
serpentine draft. It's like a three-man weave.
Three-man weave.
I might have to go crazy here.
It's the fourth pick
it's the late it's a late first round this is where you can get a little spicy with it
i'm taking a take five bar yeah whoa yeah what the fuck yeah thing is the five layers right
don't they have like some cherry in there right cherry nuts nougat i don't think there's cherry

No?
No.
Roy?
No.
No.
I don't even think I've ever had a Take 5 bar.
I feel like that's on the same shelf with O. Henry's and Fifth Avenue's.
It looks like a nutrition bar.
Can I look at it?
Like a protein.
It looks like they should sell a Take 5 at GNC.
Like a Weight Watchers bar or something.
The Reese's Take 5.
It is a super group.
It's chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, peanuts.
And hold on for a second here.
Now, wait a minute.
If you have a second, I'd love to tell you the fifth ingredient.
Sure.
Pretzel, dude.
It's got pretzel in there. It's got pret there it's got pretzels are good for you a lot of different groups at that party i don't i'm
not sure you can make sure a fight doesn't break out it's going well so what sometimes that happens
that doesn't mean it's not a good this was pitched and approved and produced it's it's real in god's
in god's kingdom by jesus This was made in the same vein
of the guys who made Weekend at Bernie.
Yeah.
It was some guys who got an eight ball
and were like, let's make a candy bar.
I'm not saying cocaine wasn't involved
in the creation of Take Five
or in the consumption later on by me.
Those five ingredients sound like a prison yard to me.
Yeah, yeah.
Pretzels got to hang with the caramels.
If you're not good with the caramels,
you got to get over there with the peanuts.
Hey, this is too much.
This is too much.
Give me in there with it.
Oh, Roy, funny you should say,
in Canada, it's known as the O. Henry level up.
So it is in that same family.
But yeah, I think, listen,
you're going to see people,
I know the people online are going to have my back
on the take five. It is a passionate,
it might be a smaller group.
Not as a first rounder. Passionate.
Well, thank God all the people online are going to get
your back. They know what's going on
for sure. Notoriously a trustworthy group.
This
feels like the tight end of candy bars.
Like you didn't have to draft this high.
Would you rather have Rob Gronkowski or Zach Wilson?
Because I feel like I just got Gronk.
Well, Almond Joy's off the board,
so he couldn't go with first round talent.
Right, exactly.
Zach Wilson's gone.
Hey, I came from the heart.
I love my little weird team.
I'm with it.
Take five, Playboy.
I feel you.
Take five is a bold first move.
And it's mine.
All right.
Take five, Mark.
I've never had one.
I've also never had one.
You think I can't get fucking crazy for the rest of my picks?
He's back to back on his pick.
I'm back to back.
And now I got to go Emeritus pick.
This has been my lifelong favorite candy bar.
When I was on the Late Late Show, I mentioned it,
and they sent me 200
of them, the company. 200 of
these bad dudes. Fresh, by the way.
I'm taking the Butterfinger.
Yeah. Oh, crispy,
crunchy, peanut buttery.
Peanut buttery. Only gripe is it sticks
in my teeth. That's the only thing. That was always
what was hard for me, too.
I'm eating it for 20 minutes after.
Can I tell you something on behalf of myself
and the Butterfinger Corporation?
They have a new
formula. It doesn't stick in your teeth as much.
Taste hasn't changed.
You're the representative for R.L. Butterfinger.
They went right from Bart Simpson to
Ian Carmel, and it was a seamless transition.
The Butterfinger's another
one that's tricky when it's stale.
Amen.
It's the same.
It's kind of the same.
It's a slightly different problem though.
It's always stale.
I feel when it's fresh,
it's perfect,
bro.
It's perfect.
When the orange inside of a butterfinger looks a little oily or greasy or
shiny,
like you got a good one,
but when it's chalkyy like a Chico stick,
where it's just like this pale, dusty orange.
Shout out on the Chico stick.
I can just look at the interior.
One bite, I know what I'm working with.
And it's my fault when you roll the dice
with a fucking parking deck snack machine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like no one on the fifth floor.
The re-up on this machine is probably twice a year.
So this shit's been in here a while.
The person who stocked that machine's grandchildren are dead.
Like, it's like that level.
You'll go in there, you'll find, like,
cigarettes without warnings on them
in the same vending machine.
I feel like my issue with them is
I feel like the majority of Butterfingers I've had in my life are some type of bite size given out at school.
Yeah.
And that they were always hell of a stale.
Yeah.
Because that middle part is like eating something that's not food when they're bad.
Well, you get that chocolate that like, sometimes if you get an old one, it's like the chocolate and the Chico stick have been on a long road trip together, and they weren't that good of friends.
So when they finally get to your mouth, they're just like, all right, I'm out.
And immediately, the chocolate's out.
And then the Chico stick's on its own.
Like, well, I had a good time.
I feel like the bigger a Butterfinger, the higher the chances you're going to get a good one.
Yeah.
Am I crazy?
It feels like the little ones are usually not great the tiny
bite sizers because real connoisseurs are keeping those king size moving that's why yeah because
fun size just sits up post halloween until yeah whenever your doctor finally can get rid of that
bullshit whatever reception desk you're gonna have to scrape it out of my cold, dead carcass. I was going to go with.
Well, I'm next.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
I was I was going to go with I'm going to go with a mainstay from my high school fundraising days that this was the one candy bar that kept me in debt because I was one of those kids that i didn't tell you this
off air i very much got high on my own supply when we were selling snacks oh yeah i would
fucking fuck up my own supply and then the money would be due and then i'd have to reimburse myself
by stealing money out the register at the subway i worked yeah by writing off sold
sandwiches as burnt bread it was absolutely a system wolf of wall street penny stock type
shit but we pulled it statue of limitations just came up on that so this is 94 birmingham i'm good um 100 grand bar oh shit yeah i love rice crispy treats i love chewy and the caramel in the 100
grand to me is superior to all only the caramel cube is a more superior piece of caramel this is
better than milky way it's better than snickers caramel It's better than Snickers caramel. It's better than Twix caramel.
The fucking 100-gram bar.
Two little mini fun size in the same little pack.
And yeah, that's the one.
A little crumbly on the bite.
It's not really something you can eat on the go.
No.
Like, I wouldn't recommend it on a plane and just have chocolate bits on your shirt.
Roy, it's a $100,000 bar.
You're eating this with a knife and a fork
at a white tablecloth restaurant, my friend.
This is not... After my small
plates.
I like that it's a little chewy.
It's kind of chewy, you know?
It'll sit in there for a while.
But not snatch your feelings out
chewy as a man over 40.
Which is what I have to be concerned about.
Shout out to Sugar Babies.
Yeah, I had a filling snatched out one time
by like a square,
one of those square caramel things.
My people had my filling snatched out
by the Nazis.
By the Nazis.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Who sells that candy bar?
Cadbury, weirdly.
The 100 gram bar is fantastic. And also also i never think about it enough i'm never
like let me pop over to 7-eleven for a hundred grand bar but when i get one it's always a joyous
occasion it's like carrot cake it's just there amongst other shit but you never seek it out
it's never the thing you're in the store for.
You want to hear something crazy?
That's still go out and get.
Carrot cake.
And maybe we'll do a cake draft one day.
It's my favorite cake.
Well,
I don't know,
man.
Favorite cake.
Number one,
unless I can take ice cream cake,
which feels like cheating.
Your favorite cake has vegetables.
That's right.
You want me to, you want me to bum you out real quick?
My favorite cake is German chocolate.
That's all right. That was pretty nice. I chocolate we can't write off everything the germans did der kovatsky german cake this guy loves coconut from way back yeah i do i like mounds man i'm not franz wagner i just think you could have got it
later but i'm with germans that the germans dropped that cake after world war ii like on
some apology shit they should they absolutely When did that recipe come out?
They should have.
They absolutely should have.
They were like,
all right, we've been sitting on this.
Sorry, Viv drops the cake.
No.
Sorry, sorry.
Sorry, Viv drops the cake.
Oh, well, shit.
Oh, whoops.
Sorry, I just mixed up my draft board.
There we go.
Sean Jordan,
100 grand bar off the board.
Sean Jordan,
you got the Snickers.
What else is going in your bag?
When I had a paper route,
when I was a kid,
I started my paper route
when I was like eight or something.
Took it all the way through
late middle school,
which was a mistake.
But a mainstay through that whole time
was a hot chocolate.
I'd get done, I'd get a hot chocolate,
and then I'd get a Caramello.
So Caramello is my second pick.
Stretch it out.
Caramello. That's a great loved it that's a great commercial that's a great really only get four bites if you're if you're doing it right you can't bite one of the
cubes in half that's just ludicrous so it's like a it's only a four bite candy bar but ah it's
action-packed real simple runny runny caramel love it. Very loose. You pop the whole thing and it's like that gum that bursts in your mouth.
You know, like a gusher.
Like a gusher.
I remember that candy bar being melty as a bitch.
Yeah.
I remember it was so melty.
That wasn't a real pocket candy bar.
You kind of ate it like outside of the gas station.
And I was a warm-handed child, so it was a problem.
Hot little hands.
Hot little hands. Hot hands. Hot hands. I had to get old to realize it was a problem. Hot little hands. Hot, hot little hands, dude.
Hot hands. I had to
get old to realize it was a fallacy, but yeah,
I was a hot-handed kid.
This one is not
a fan of this one. I'm a fan of you.
I love you, and far be it for me as
someone who took take five first, but
I don't know.
But I think there's a deep emotional wound
because my last name is Carmel, and if you don't think people one, but I think there's a deep emotional wound because my last name is Carmel.
And if you don't think people call it a little fat kid, Caramello, Ian Caramello.
That was, damn it.
I could, if my last name was fucking roast beef or like if I was Ian Beef Wellington, I would not have had a harder childhood.
Well, you'd have a lot more money if you were Ian Beef Wellington.
If I was Ian, if I was Lord Wellington, dude, for sure.
You'd have a lot more money if you were Ian Beef Wellington.
If I was Ian, if I was Lord Wellington, dude, for sure.
But like, it was a fucking, to be in the 90s, which was probably the last golden age of making fun of fat kids,
with a last name that sounded like a candy, was a hard one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, you ain't wrong.
But that's not the Caramello's fault.
They couldn't have known that.
But still, it's a loose... It's hard to see this go...
Oh, my God.
You can buy caramelos bread.
Yeah, baby.
I bet you can.
I don't like that.
It's like people who buy the Biscoff spread
instead of Nutella.
It's like, eat a Biscoff.
Eat a Biscoff.
On an airplane?
Are you kidding me?
They got those for sale at Costco.
I didn't know you could...
I didn't know those were Stroopwafels.
You need to be 30,000 feet above the Earth's crust to enjoy a Biscoff.
It tastes different in the air.
I can't explain it.
It's just one of those things.
Yeah, 100%.
It's not champagne unless it's from that valley in France,
and it's not a fucking Biscoff unless you sit next to someone
farting in the khakis while they read a USA Today.
Unless you sit next to a nurseing in the khakis while they read a USA Today. Unless you sit next to a nurse on Delta.
That's right.
It's the great equalizer.
Everybody wants their snack.
It's one thing about a plane.
Everyone's like, you want a snack?
It doesn't matter how arrogant you are, how much money you have.
Everyone's like, yes, I'd like a snack.
I'll dig through you.
I don't know.
Everyone's a little kid on a plane.
Anyway, Caramel.
David, time for your second and third picks, bud.
Another classic.
I got to take, or not another classic.
Another classic.
Another bad creation?
ABC, BBD.
Boys, man.
I'm taking a Crunch bar.
Yeah.
Oh, a Nestle Crunch.
A Nestle Crunch.
Just a classic.
It was the first candy bar I ever fucked with where it was like,
you got more mileage out of it because you would just suck on it until you got to the crispies.
Does that make sense?
Story of my life, dude.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah.
I mean, it depends on what kind of savage you are.
It's like a Hershey bar, which is just, do you bite the chocolate and crunch, crunch, and chew, chew, chew?
Or do you just throw it up in your jaw and just let the slow time release of chewing tobacco yeah like getting this drizzle out this is how i knew i was
aging i started out with a crunch crunch smash and then as i got into my elder years yeah i was a
drizzle i was a slow drizzle i loved it it's one of those candy bars that like if you break it it
breaks like the meth on on breaking bad like it just shatters into pieces you know what i mean it's not like that's the most south dakota reference
you've ever made a crunch crunch bar breaks like the meth y'all and it says crunch on it it's great
like are you like into like a little like in a basement somewhere cooking up uh back alley crunch
bars yeah dude yeah breaking it into glass shatters a crunch bar.
You're blue, man. It is blue.
It comes in a blue. Oh my god.
Is a Nestle Crunch the inspiration
for Breaking Bad?
I believe so.
Do y'all feel like you used to see
Nestle Crunch everywhere and now
you don't really see them anywhere?
It was big and then it fell off for sure.
What happened to those? I don't know see them anywhere? It was big and then it fell off for sure. What happened to those?
I don't know, but you're right.
They're not even in Little Bite Size Guys anymore.
I will say this.
Their partners have taken over.
Going back to the Frazier-Joey analogy,
Nestle Crunch Bar, hands down,
probably one of the best spinoff treats,
the Nestle Crunch Bar, which probably one of the best spinoff treats the Nestle Crunch bar
which I would argue
is more iconic
than the
Nestle Crunch
candy bar
the ice cream bar
the Nestle Crunch ice cream bar
oh yeah
you might be right about that
the Nestle Crunch ice cream bar
to me is superior
to its
to the OG
to the original.
It's like a Nepo Baby that outpaced its famous parent.
It's like Chris Pine.
Yeah, it's Ken Griffey Jr.
It's Ken Griffey Jr.
It's a Ken Griffey Jr. situation.
The Nestle Crunch Bar is good, solid.
Ken Griffey Sr.
Perfect.
Everyone loves you.
But man, the sun sun have you seen it son
on that ice cream truck in the fucking school freezer just fucking killing shit that bar is
fantastic they didn't do too much it's just ice cream and then the shell which is a nestle crunch
shell they didn't there's not too many ingredients ice cream the crunch show if there is one
criticism to be levied at the nestle crunch bar is that there's a lot going on with it and i mean god
bless it it was invented in the 1930s what was it supposed to do you know what i mean it was
like these other ones that take five stood on the shoulders of giants but adding that vanilla ice
cream element is he is i mean it's a addition. Take five, that's like a
fucking Xbox 360. Nestle Crunch
is like an NES classic and you just
gotta respect the bare basics of it.
It's just little squares
so you can feel like you're not a savage and eating
all of it at one fucking time.
Yeah, I am.
But he doesn't have to feel like that.
David, excellent pick. And your third pick.
Man, this one is like you you remember in the 90s,
there was a lot of candy innovation?
Sure did.
And oftentimes there was a race to get the newest, freshest shit.
And I remember when this dropped and having it and being like,
oh, shit, the game's changed.
This is different now.
I'm taking a Hershey's Cookies and Cream Pie.
No!
Yeah.
Oh, fuck you. I thought I could get that late
for sure.
Because it came out...
It's another one you got to eat slow.
It's not a chopper. It's not
like I got five minutes, I got to
be back. It's rich. You take your
time with it. Yeah.
Because it's white chocolate.
And white chocolate is a whole other fucking game.
That's like sipping whiskey.
That's what I'm saying.
It's for a refined palate.
This candy bar is finding Hato Turkoglu beyond the arc, dude.
It's getting Brad Miller in the post.
It's a Jason Williams.
It's more of a 10 year old candy bar than an eight
year old candy bar you know what i'm saying it's for refined palates it pairs well with wine yeah
it is man this also like when you were a kid for the most part you were opening candy bars and they
looked like chocolate you're opening you know what i mean and then all of a sudden this one like a lot of stuff was happening there was a green power ranger
all of a sudden he had like a dragon shaped zord and then there was like a candy bar you opened it
and it was white it was crazy looking did you say zord yeah something like that what are they called
mechs zords the zords what there was i'm trying to think There was another like candy bar around that same time
That was like
Some weird new innovative
Let me
Nestle had the Alpine White back in the day
If you remember
Yeah that was for Supremacist though
Yeah even the commercial was a white woman singing
Yeah that was
I wasn't drawn to it.
Seriously.
That theme song was in my head last night.
N-E-S-T-L-E-S.
Yeah.
And sweet dreams.
Yeah, she goes, creamy white, alpine white.
Nestle makes the, and you're like, bro.
And it was like, they're in the Alps.
Is that what you just said?
Like on a horse or some shit?
Germany did release that
after World War II.
That's a Nazi part.
I can see why white people feel like they're losing the country.
If you took that commercial off TV,
that was like a good
subliminal white power.
White is the best.
I don't even know if it was
in your face. face Yeah that was crazy
Michael McDonald handed the baton directly to that woman
And then she just threw it into the ocean
I honestly don't think my mom would have bought it
If I gave it to her at the grocery store
If I put that in the cart
She'd be like you gotta go back
I'm not getting this
I'm trying to think when I started fucking with white chocolate
That was some shit that you just
stumble upon like
at some wedding reception
I remember it was when
Hershey's did the
black and white kisses
that was my first ever introduction
yeah
you remember that the hugs they were called
yeah
I feel like we discovered that.
It was one of those periods where it was like
you date a girl for a while
and then you break up with her,
date somebody else, and then you're like, wait a minute, she was the one.
You go back and you marry that one.
And it was like chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
And then it was like, what about white chocolate?
No, I gotta go back to chocolate eventually.
Our country did that with white chocolate.
I feel like my mom, that was like the. Like our country did that with white chocolate. I feel like white chocolate.
I feel like my mom,
that was like the only thing she pushed on me
was white chocolate,
where she's like, you got it.
White chocolate is the good, like white.
I swear she was about it when I was a kid.
Which is crazy because it's not even chocolate, right?
No.
It's like a different part of the cocoa bean
or something like that.
It is cacao.
I thought it was something different.
Let me dig into it
while Sean Jordan makes his next pick. like that it is cacao i thought it was something different um let me dig into it while sean jordan
makes his next pick this episode of all fantasy everything is brought to you by babble uh if you

touch a little bit on self-care routines, some stuff that's non-negotiable.
You know, some stuff like you can't, I got buddies, they can't skip leg day. Myself,
my schedule is completely packed out with hanging out with my daughter. You try to pepper in work
in there. It's really hard to find the time for that, like those things that I want,
that self-care stuff.
I like to walk a lot. I know that sounds ridiculous. And I don't know what fun means,
but I do like walking. I love to skateboard. But it's hard. I got to drive to the park. I got to
get warmed up, which takes your boy a gentleman's half hour these days because these gams ain't what
they used to be. But I know that's what makes me happy. And it's hard to make time for it.
When you feel like you don't have any time for yourself
it can weigh on you more than anything else
non-negotiables like therapy
are more important than ever
in that situation
you need to set time
get it like I keep saying
get a new set of ears on it
if you're having a tough time finding time for yourself
if you just talk to someone
you say these things out loud
you'll realize that there is time you can make time for if you just talk to someone, you say these things out loud, you will realize that there is time. You can make time for yourself. You just have to
prioritize it. It happens. You can talk to someone, get a new set of ears on it, and they will
just guide you through the path. Therapy helps with everything. And if you're thinking of starting,
go on to Get Better Help a Try. Give it a shot. It helps for learning positive coping skills,
setting boundaries, all these things that are extremely important.

Sometimes I want to
feel sophisticated when I have a candy bar. I want
to be able to take it to a dinner party and
break it up a little bit. I want to feel well-traveled.
So I'm going to take a Toblerone.
Oh!
Right this way, Santa.
The Reader's Candyone. Oh, okay. I know we were going to Europe.
The Reader's Candy Bar.
Oh my God.
Motherfucking diplomatic immunity.
Investment banger.
You get like 15 pieces.
They make Toblerones the size of my leg.
They're all over the place.
You know what I'm talking about?
Those big ass like yard long Toblerones.
Yeah.
That's the chocolate for people trying to figure out, you know, how to fucking run the country.
Right, exactly.
Influence elections.
If we're going to rig this election, we need to meet next Thursday.
Bring the Toblerones.
Yeah.
To Bohemian Grove candy.
And the Girodelli chocolate.
Did I pronounce that right?
I'm a broke bitch.
I worked at the Cheese Island at Hy-V-v and i didn't think i'd find
a new candy bar in the cheese island and that's where they sell the toblerones and i i'd never
had one didn't i'd open it i was like no way it's just a candy bar in the cheese island in the
fanciest part of hy-v you know it's hard to get your jaw around a toblerone every now and then
you know what i mean it's like you gotta really a Toblerone every now and then. You know what I mean?
It's like, you gotta really like, ah, it takes up
a lot of real estate. Break off a little triangle.
Nah.
Alright.
Alright, then, sorry.
I'm gonna piss you off.
What chocolate is
sugar, milk, and cocoa butter, but no cocoa solids?
Okay. It is the
superior chocolate in flavor
i do think there is something like i i wonder like i was very very ignorant to toberon to start i
will admit that i was very anti just because hey man i got my rotation i know what the fuck i like
yeah i don't need nothing else and i'm're like, trust me, you haven't had chocolate
until you had this fucking chocolate.
And I was like, fuck, you're right.
This shit really is amazing.
Who was in your face telling you that?
The woman I no longer date.
I should have listened to her
because she was trying to make my life better
and I just kept rejecting goodness.
And I don't understand why you won't let happiness into your heart.
This is a different draft.
What is the Toblerone really, Roy?
What are we really talking about when we're talking about Toblerone?
I love you.
Why would you let me love you?
I got my candy bar rotation.
I hope she's listening.
She is, she listening. She is.
Roy, the Toblerone
cannot be in your rotation
because Sean just took it, but what candy bar is?
We're going to stay white chocolate
and we're going to go Kit Kat.
The white chocolate
Kit Kat.
Oh, those are good.
It's not everywhere. It's Oh, those are good. It's not as common.
It's not everywhere.
It's Christmas, I feel like.
Right?
It's just Christmas?
For the most part.
And then you're back into, is this a fresh shipment or is this leftover Christmas white chocolate I'm about to buy in June?
I'll take leftover Christmas.
The white Kit Kat has also made its way into the Halloween candy sphere because it looks like skeleton buns.
The white and orange labeling, the Kit Kat branding is already orange naturally.
So, yeah, I'm going white chocolate Kit Kat.
That's the one.
I know that there's been some posts online about people biting Kit Kats the wrong way.
Yeah, I've seen this.
And apparently you're not supposed to
break them. You're supposed to break them
into singles and eat the single
stick. But apparently there's
mad men who just bite that
bitch. Who just goes in there and doesn't break
it off. You mean eats it like a square? Like a
sandwich? Yes.
That's the only psychopath test I need. That's the kids who
chop the top of the string cheese
you're gonna go to juvie i'd switch schools if i saw a kid doing that this is a good opportunity
to talk about the world of kit kat bars outside of america and how much they fucking wash us in
terms of like the flavors they have available like in japan they're like fucking green tea
they got like mango and shit they're like going crazy with the Kit Kats overseas, man.
The best,
they don't have it anymore,
but in Tokyo, Japan,
2009,
ginger ale Kit Kat
is the best thing
I've ever had in my life.
And you can't even buy it anymore.
It doesn't exist.
What?
That sounds so gross.
It's gone.
Are you serious?
It sounds gross to you?
Yeah, it does.
That sounds crazy.
I'm sure it'd be good.
No, that's like...
No, to some, it's terrible.
There's also a wasabi-flavored
and a strawberry-flavored,
and I also saw a guy
eating this wasabi
and strawberry-flavored
at the same time,
and the idea of like
a spicy, strawberry-ish thing
intrigued me,
but I didn't do it.
You know, that guy's putting lines of Coke
in between each one of the Kit Kat ridges.
That's a Michelin chef right there, man.
That's like...
No, I've had the wasabi ones
and I've had the strawberry ones
and they're great.
They're fun.
Well, have you had a Tony's Chocolonely?
Because that's my third pick.
A what?
A Tony's Chocolonely.
You know it if you see it.
Is this a regional candy bar? No, that's a guy in the Bronx that just got broken up with. Tony's Chocolonely. You know it if you see it. Is this a regional candy bar?
No, that's a guy in the Bronx that just got broken up with.
Tony's Chocolonely. It's not a regional
candy bar, but it is... You're picking up pasta.
It's an expensive... What it is
is an expensive grocery store chocolate.
You know what I'm talking about?
If you Google Tony's Chocolonely,
it's got a specific branding.
It definitely came out.
It feels like it hit the national scene.
Like within the last 10 years,
it is a Portland,
Oregon ass candy bar though.
They don't make it there,
but it's a hipster.
It's a hipster candy bar.
Oh,
I've had those.
They're vegan.
Those are vegan,
right?
They're delicious as well.
I don't know if they're vegan or not.
Well,
there's some Trader Joe's candy.
I know exactly.
They sell them at,
um,
what's not,
is it Whole Foods?
What do we just have here?
New seasons, new seasons. They sell them. You can definitely get it there. Yeah. It is a Dutch, what's not, is it Whole Foods? What do we just have here? New Seasons?
New Seasons.
They sell them at New Seasons.
You can definitely get it there.
Yeah.
It is a Dutch, it's a Dutch chocolate bar.
It's from Amsterdam.
I don't think it's vegan.
It's definitely not vegan.
Really?
I thought my vegan buddy told me to buy him some.
So he's a liar.
They might make vegan ones.
This isn't vegan.
It's just a delicious, it's from Amsterdam, milk chocolate bar.
It's tasty.
It's chunky.
It's blocky.
It's got a great chocolate to it.
I dig the packaging.
It's the kind of packaging
where I'm like,
I think this is better for me
than like a Hershey bar.
Is this one of those candy bars
where on the back of the label
it tells you the fucking story
of the guy who-
Absolutely.
My uncle- Absolutely. used to have a field
and in that field he found a cocoa bean and then with that single cocoa bean he started the company
my uncle bernard chocolone and he never mentions his parents vast wealth or anything like that yeah
that's exactly that it's exactly that kind of candy that means it's good. I am a Caucasian 38-year-old
from Portland, Oregon, and I
love that kind of shit.
If you have a story, if there's a short story,
if there's a George Saunders short story
on your product, I'm going to buy it.
I don't care what it is. I'm in.
And time for my fourth pick.
Wow.
Alright, I'm going to go fucking crazy.
This is a situational candy bar.
This is situational.
This is, I'm stuffed.
I had a big dinner
at not that great of a restaurant.
I'd skip dessert,
but I do have a tiny bit of a sweet tooth.
We're on our way out.
What's that by the check-in desk?
In Andy's Mint? I'll take one of those. I'm taking the
Andy's Mint. Does that count?
Yes. It's a tiny little
bar of candy.
Tiny little bar.
Tiny little bar of candy.
Flat-ass mini Kit Kat.
Tiny little bar of candy.
It's just enough. It's chocolate. It's
mint. It melts in your mouth.
I'm on my way out.
It doesn't even count as dessert.
You know what's wild?
You never want a second one.
Nope. That is wild.
It's just enough.
The portion size is correct.
It would be overpowering, I think.
The first one's good, but you don't
need a second one.
When I get fun-sized candy bars, I always get three, so in my mind powering i think the the first one's good but you don't need a second one when i get like fun
size candy bars i always get like three so in my mind this equals a candy bar yeah so i've had a
candy bar andy's mint yeah that's solid andy's man that's a good one had to take it roy time for
your fourth pick um i'm going baby ruth only because Superior Nougat, hands down, the worst structural design of any fucking candy bar.
You're going to be wearing that motherfucker halfway through.
You take one bite and fucking Baby Ruth chocolate just drizzles down your fucking chest and all over the place.
It is a horrid design.
And they've done nothing to flatten it or...
And what is this flake chocolate
that y'all are using anyway?
This is another one where the chocolate is in a...
Same building, but different chocolate.
Don't know how.
But the nugget is fucking worth it.
It's worth the mess.
When will Congress approve infrastructure spending
for the Baby Ruth bar
so we can fix this woeful situation?
How many more bars have to collapse?
You have to eat it straight up and down
if you don't want to get any mess on you.
You have to take it all the way back
and take a bite
so the chocolate just falls into your mouth
like cliffhanger.
It's another one of those
melty melty chocolates. Yeah.
It's also a fun fact.
It's one of those situations where like if you're a young
little like intellectual kid like I was
you can learn a fact which is you know
it's not named after Babe Ruth. It's named
after Grover Cleveland's daughter or like whoever
it is like kind of thing. And then you can be annoying
about it. You get a little like a factoid.
So two treats for me.
I think that's a good fact.
I think, yeah.
Baby Ruth. That's my one.
Baby Ruth. Sean Jordan.
I'm a savory boy. I've always
liked savory more than sweet.
Really, the one savory candy bar I could think
of was also, I just love it. My grandma used to
give them to me. Salted nut roll.
Kind of Baby Ruth. That's candy bar. My grandma used to give them to me. Salted nut roll. Kind of baby roosty.
Without the
chocolate. It's just like salt, nuts,
and then like a cream in the middle, kind of.
Sounds buck when I
describe it like that. Oh, these things.
Yeah. They're really good.
And they adhere, the nuts adhere
with like a loose caramel.
It keeps all the nuts
together. Yeah. It's kind of like a pecan log, a loose caramel. It keeps all the nuts together. Yeah.
It's kind of like a pecan log a little bit.
Is that nugget in the center?
I'm looking at it.
I don't know what it is.
It's like a...
It is nugget.
It is nugget.
But it tastes like butterscotch-y or something.
It's got a certain kind of taste to it.
I don't know.
It's hard to say that's your favorite candy bar
in middle school.
I'll tell you.
Yeah.
I bet it is. It's a tough one to claim. Like, really? I'm a salted nut roll guy. know it's hard to say that's your favorite candy bar in middle school i'll tell you yeah yeah i
bet it's a tough one to claim like really i'm a salted nut roll guy but you were raised by your
grandparents real close this is clearly my grandparents had custody of me yeah when i
when i went to my grandma's crib she'd have a basket of candy bars and this is one of three
that were always in there i'd be like it was a whole bit i'd be like i'm hungry and she'd have a basket of candy bars and this is one of three that were always in there i'd be like it
was a whole bit i'd be like i'm hungry and she'd go go to the cupboard and like to your point
earlier where it's like i should have got food but someone some untrustworthy either there's
something either whimsical or untrustworthy i can't put my finger on it about a candy bar that
doesn't feel like it has to have a silly name it's good man, man. You'd like it. I know you pretty well. This is like an Obie Trice candy bar.
Have you ever seen it? It's very bare bones.
Have you ever seen it?
Real name, no gimmicks.
Just a roll of nuts.
Salted nut roll.
This is like what they would call a candy bar in the
Soviet Union. It's not called like a
sizzle dazzle or like
a Piccadilly surprise. It's salted
nut roll. What do you want to do with the wrapper?
I have my salted notherol rations.
And because it is secular holiday
in place of Christmas,
it is time for your salted notherol.
Enjoy.
Yeah, man.
Fantastic.
David, time for your fourth
and then your final pick
in the lightning round.
My fourth.
This is a weird one.
I feel like it never got its due, but I've always been a huge fan.
I'm taking a whatchamacallit.
Yeah, bro.
That was going to be my last pick.
They're amazing.
Yeah.
And the only flat, thick candy bar.
It's the only one that's like flat and thick.
They're all either flat and thin or like, yeah, dude, it's you could hurt someone with that.
It's like a leather jack.
If you go into a black hole, there's a Whatchamacallit at the back of it.
Yes, yes.
It's another one that I feel like got pushed on us real hard in the 90s, and I bought all in.
I bought all in.
Whatchamacallit.
Yeah.
The 1920s and the 1990s.
Choclity, chocolatey.
They had the fun commercials.
What's in the middle? Whatchamacallit. Yeah. I'm in. They just never thought of a name. They had a fun commercials. What's in the middle?
Whatchamacallit?
Yep.
I'm in.
They just never thought of a name.
They had a placeholder.
Yeah.
We'll get to it.
They never got back around to it.
It's cocky.
They were in their bag.
Their candy bag.
David, what's in your candy bag?
The final pick.
Okay.
How do I round this out you know what i've always been a big fan of this candy as
a genre so i'm going within that genre i'm taking a reese's fast break oh yeah okay yeah reese's
as a as a brand has it's consistent like i'm giving you shit about the take five but in terms of how they
integrate peanut butter into different flavor combinations exactly nobody's doing that nobody's
doing a lot and i feel like fast break was their first bar if i'm not does that have cherry am i a
prick i one of these has cherry why do you keep trying to i don't think any of these have cherry
nothing has cherry big candy if you're listening to push cherry? Any of these have cherry, my dude.
Nothing has cherry, dog.
Nothing has cherry.
Big Candy, if you're listening, put cherry in some candy.
I'm right here.
You're Big Candy on the internet?
Yeah.
I've been here the whole time.
Big Candy, baby.
No, sir.
No, sir.
None of these have cherry. There's one that has cherry in the name that has cherry.
Sean, why don't you pick a cherry candy?
It's your pick.
Twin Bing, baby.
What?
Oh, you fucking goober.
I love a Twin Bing, and they got cherry.
All right.
Twin Bing.
Yeah, they look like poop, honestly, if you look at them.
Look at this shit.
I have not even heard of these.
You're taking some Midwest candies, and that is your bottom bracket. South Dakota baby born and raised. D have not even heard of these. You're taking some Midwest candies.
And that is your bottom right.
South Dakota baby born and raised.
Drafting from Europe.
Yeah.
Yeah, Twin Bings.
It's my Aunt Leslie's favorite candy.
She put me on a lot of plans.
I knew Leslie liked them.
I didn't know anything.
I love them, man.
My mom will still send me Ziploc bags full for the holidays.
Toblerone and Twin Bings.
Twin Bing. Yeah. Anyway, they got cherry in them. So there you go bags full for the holidays. Toblerone and twin beans. Twin Bing. Yeah.
Anyway, they got cherry in them. So there you go.
What is the shell of it, though?
This does look like a turd. It's like
chocolate peanut butter. It's like if you
seriously. It looks like a macaroon
to the naked eye. Like if I walked up on this
and be like, this is a macaroon, but then you slice it.
Pretty much. It's like
peanut butter chocolate mashed together. It looks
nutty. Like if you did scrunch a poop into a little ball it would look
like that I think
with cherry nougat in the center
it's a wild man's pick
it's a wild man's pick
Roy your final pick
this is a lot
I have a lot of
I have a lot of candy bars
that you know I'm going to be looking to pick up in free agency.
Absolutely.
At the conclusion of this draft.
But I think I have to round out my team.
I got to go traditional, man.
I got to go Milky Way.
Yeah.
I know everybody loves the Snickers, but I think the Milky Way yeah I know everybody loves the Snickers
but I think the Milky Way is
smoother it's easier
it's basically
Snickers for people with a peanut allergy
that's really all this shit is
sometimes you don't want to smash a peanut
I mean yeah Snickers is just you don't gotta fight
there's times where that's
what I want
it's good to have a singles hitter in the lineup
man somebody gets on base
time for my final pick
I'm going to Heath Bar
on its own
you're a big smashing to a blizzard
whatchamacallit laying right there
I respect that
Heath
it has an easy name Heath
it has a person's name
it's like a Craig Bar or person's name it's like calling
it's like a Craig bar
or a Dave bar
it's Heath baby
Isaac
those are our picks
what's your pick
is the super producer pick
no one took
Three Musketeers right
no it's on the board
I'll take that
yeah it is
actually one of my favorites
and I'm glad that it was
on the board
our own personal
D'Artagnan
taking the Three Musketeers
fantastic
thank you
to recap David you went Thank you. To recap,
David, you went first. You took the
Almond Joy.
And then the Nestle Crunch,
the Hershey's Cookie and Cream, the Whatchamacallit,
and the Fast Break Bar.
John, you went second. You took the Snickers,
the Caramello, the Toblerone,
the Salted Nut Roll,
and then the Twin Bing. Roy, you went third.
You took Twix, 100 gram bar,
white chocolate Kit Kat,
Baby Ruth,
Milky Way.
I went last.
I took the Take Five,
the Butterfinger,
the Tony's chocolate only,
the Andy's chocolate mints,
and the Heath bar.
We're out here.
Andy's mint is a solid one.
What are you picking up
at free agency, Roy?
Rip them off real quick.
The Zero bar.
Whoa. Only because I'm a nougat addict um
the zero bar and then the rhesus classic peanut butter cups even though the chocolate melts on
the bottom for no fucking reason yeah it's the weakest it's the most bitch made chocolate
of all of the candy bars. That chocolate melts.
You barely touch it.
It just...
It's like they're...
Yeah, it's insane.
You got to...
Those are...
When we...
So, Roy, I don't know if this ever happens to you on The Daily Show, but on The Late Late Show,
anytime we would mention candy in the monologue or anything like that, we had people...
And maybe because you guys have a journalistic integrity, you couldn't do this,
but they would just send us boxes
of fresh candy. So we would get
fresh Reese's, fresh
Twizzlers, all this fresh stuff.
Off the factory
floor, they would send it to us, and it was so
fucking delicious.
You gotta work
those angles. I said something about
Mountain Dew and hot sauce, and they sent me their sample Baja Blast hot sauce.
You did not get some of that.
I was trying so hard on the internet to get it.
I entered like five different sweepstakes or whatever, lotteries to get it.
I'm glad you lost.
I respect both of those items individually, but collectively, Mountain Dew and hot sauce should never
fucking have a baby. Sean would drink
that on ice, I guarantee it.
A glass of it.
