Hello and welcome to another episode of Distractible, your favorite podcast, the best podcast, and as far as I know, the only podcast that exists. Right, guys? Okay, yeah, i'm pretty sure you're right although i was a host on another one the most popular episode on another one but sure that doesn't sound right yeah that doesn't sound right okay anyway welcome to distractible

this is the show where we three boys compete to win this show uh i'm gonna be the host for this week my name is bob and my two friends are going to be competing. That would be Mark and Wade. Hello. It's us, ya boys. It is ya boys. We are ya boys. I'm done, I'm sorry.

I don't mean to speak out of turn, sire. No, I felt bad for cutting you off. I do that a lot. I'm not a good listener, or a meterer of my talking. I just talk and talk and talk. And you guys are like do that a lot. I'm not a good listener or a meterer of my talking. I just talk and talk and talk and you guys are like, let me talk and I'm like, no, I'm talking. Listen to my voice.

You are the judge. You have the right. It's not like that. It's not like that. Today I am God and as a judge, which per my usual rules, I will give out points, but today is special because I will give out points and track them very precisely with the Intel

scoreboard. Every time points happen, you'll hear this sound. Wow. It's a good sound. Angelic. Yeah. That's the Intel sound. Thanks for sponsoring this episode, Intel. It's not like Will's shitty old sound. With little coins hitting a jar

what was that dumb he's gonna edit me to sound stupid the rest of the episode isn't he oh god i hope so all right fair enough he's gonna get mark bought and replace you i deserve it i deserve have you ever heard of the ship of the acs that's very funny mark i'm glad you did that and it wasn't at all a robot that's what i'm here for i'm i'm the funny guy in this podcast we all know this yeah you could laugh at that you could make me feel better about that i kind of threw it out there. I laughed internally. That wasn't a joke. That was honesty. I was just saying, yeah, you're right. You are the funny man. Muted indifference somehow hurts harder.

My mime boy pointed at you. Well, hey, you know I know how to hurt you. So, you know, if I'm not doing the voice, I'm on your side, buddy. Thanks, man. That really means a lot. I know how to hurt you. I know what matters. Please don't. Don't don't say like that that's not good i know how to get to you i don't like that i don't like that today's topic is gonna be a fun one christmas not yet okay soon but the stores tell me it is

right after this the moment we're done recording this, you have to start listening to Christmas music. Though that's the rule. But for today, it's going to be about Halloween. And it's going to be a revisit to a format that was, I think, kind of popular, kind of controversial. I think people were into that episode. But before we really dig into that, of course, we have to do small talk. That's the rules. That is the rule, yes.

As established by you, the judge, I agree. Yeah, you better. If you want to get those sweet points. Unless you know how to get to me. I don't want to date this too much, but we did just hang out not too long ago, so it kind of caught up a bunch. But anything happen since we were all together in Los Angeles? Nothing good.

I finally finished my big editing sprint. If people are wondering why I've been missing from my own channel for a while, it's because I've been extremely busy editing a TV show. And it's not that I did the entire editing. I was just like polishing it up. And it's very good now. And yada yada. And I probably shouldn't say any more.

But I'm saying more because that's all I've been working on. I've been doing literally nothing but that. Say more. I can't. What show is it, Mark? It's for the edge of sleep. All right. That's not secret anymore.

I was there for that. Oh, yeah, pretty much. I thought you were just making a FNAF. Let's It's for The Edge of Sleep. All right. That's not secret anymore. I was there for that. Oh, yeah. Pretty much. I thought you were just making a FNAF Let's Play whole show out of it. God. That's why we're in LA. Mark filmed the whole series, and he's been furiously editing it. I got to get more FNAF, guys.

I got to get it. It's the only thing. So when are you going to do your Choose Your Own Adventure YouTube original FNAF series? My FNAF, my own adventure. I don't know. Do I make out with Foxy or Freddy? Click. It's like Dora, but choose your own. That's just Five Nights at Fuckboy's.

Have you guys ever played that one? Oh, it's true. Oh, that existed. I played that one. They all got copyright struck recently. I believe it, yeah. Well, that seems like what that law is about. They don't have to use it.

believe it yeah well that seems like what that law is about they don't have to use it did you guys see with like with ai like image generation like all the individual artists have been very upset for the boobs from it not talking about the boobs the anime boobs that's a different one uh okay that's a subset of it you sent me that link it's not really anyway it's a subset of it so but as soon as these ai uh models started coming out that could replicate music like it's a subset of it right yeah so but as soon as these ai uh models started coming out that could replicate music like it's not even good like it's not even good right i didn't know that one existed so ai can like you give it 10 seconds of a song and then it'll continue the song and it's like there's the the one that was shown to me by uh nico from corridor was like you know rick roll whatever the actual song is uh and then instantly after 10 seconds away

is like really jank not that good but nico was like yeah yeah are you hearing that i'm like i'm hearing it man i will say i think he i think they posted that on socials or something i saw nico showing that to one of the Corridor crew. Yeah. And I heard it and I was like, okay, never going to give you up that song. And when it got to the AI part, I was like, huh, this must be like a B-side I'd never heard before. It sounds kind of like it. Weird.

But the thing is, that's the state of where the technology is at this point. But as soon as that started coming out and people are hearing about instantly the music industry was like this is a danger to our musical artists we gotta shut that shit down we gotta burn it down and meanwhile like individual artists have been like are getting progressively screwed over by ai art both stealing their styles and also like taking jobs from them it is a useful tool and i think there's a future for it but right now people care about music mark people care about money you know it's like there's a thing about the starving artist poor artist i know right i gotta say i hadn't heard about that and i know that there are issues with streaming and musical artists face a lot of different issues right now from how music is sold

and shared and monetized and stuff i don't think the companies and huge multinational corporations that are all up in arms about the ai stuff are any less complicit in absolutely fucking all their musicians in the behind yeah i get that they want their money but the musicians are sitting there like wow my two enemies are fighting and i don't know from any experience but it's my understanding that uh the labels don't care about the musicians so much anymore if they ever did what yeah imagine that wade i don't know their job i know that's what they do they care yeah yeah that's all they do i haven't heard about that though that's the ai music is very funny i love it but not in like a oh i'd listen to that in the car in like a yeah it makes sense now all k-pop must be ai made wow

sorry that was bait i thought we were doing the bait episode the bait episode is over it's over oh no guys no but you can see the progression right you remember like just two years ago ai image generation was in a laughable state and then it suddenly wasn't. So I can see like where music could suddenly be good. I don't think the idea of shoving songs into a box and then shitting out an approximation of those songs is better than an AI machine being like,

you have a drum machine, hit that. Just learn when to hit that and then do that with a hundred other instruments and then hit those at the same time in a rhythm and it'll figure that out other than just i love that song yeah well that's a that's a big thing that's gonna hold it back is if you want lyrics that's a whole other world because i talked to you i talked on the podcast about one of my current favorite tiktoks is a guy who does um book covers of like he'll just put in a thing that's like two lobsters jousting for the love of a shrimp and then it'll be like you know generate some book covers and um the book covers have very good imagery sometimes some of them are awful but

some of them are great but the language is always a goddamn nightmare like if it's about like there's one where he did frogs and all the things were like rogan flong lingle love and it's like whoa it's words but it's not words how do you even do that the sims language is gonna have their own music industry hey simlish is a real language okay is it actually it's a real language i follow a woman on tiktok who sings songs but every other verse is in simlish it's very funny simlish is a language it's an actual language you can learn and speak no way it has rules and is a thing as far as i understand i don't know if that's lore from the sims universe or if that's like fan canon yeah there are people who speak fluent simlish it's a thing i know one word in simoleon uh-huh simlish

oh when they burn their food you know about that i know too are you are you sure it's yeah are you sure it's yay are you sure it's yeah? Are you sure it's yay? Are you sure it's not yow? No, I'm pretty confident in the ow. Or yuh? I'm less confident in the yeah. Yeah, you should be. That doesn't sound simlish to me. AI is fascinating, guys.

We should talk about that more. Quote AI. Yeah, well, whatever. That's what they referred to it as. AI is getting older. Fuck. Oh. You okay, Bob?

It's okay. Come back to us. Come back to us. It's an open wound in my heart. It's okay. This is going to be okay, Bob? It's okay. It stings every time. It's an open wound in my heart. It's okay. It's gonna be okay, Bob. I'm just excited for part three of that. I can't wait. You hit another year.

And I'm like, guys, I've got an idea. I've got a topic we haven't done before. Anyway, how are you, Wade? Still dying? Or whatever's happening with you? Bad things, right? I'm mostly mostly better i'm finishing up physical therapy i still have the occasional flare-up but it's so much rare i can live almost normally again which is nice everyone in the house got ear infections which is a little weird but uh just gonna stop rubbing your ears together yeah well that's how you do it if you don't want to betray jesus you have to do it with the ears what the hell what are you rubbing we've talked about soaking

we've never discussed what even would that be called oral sex you go ear to ear and you kind of form a suction that's how you know you're connected as one i'm sad i asked i'm sad i asked your eardrums get synced i'll show you later you've got home videos oh you know you're really compatible if you don't even need the adapter to make it work oh god you want to canal with me later some people need this kind of like suction cuppy thing you guys want to do some oral later nope our our rule that's a hard word to distinguish our rule it's just the southern oral you guys won't do no it's a word hey you ral That's a hard word to distinguish. Aural? It's just a southern oral. You guys won't do some aural. It's a word. A-U-R-A-L. It's a word.

Y'all want an aural with me? I know the word. The people listening to this may not know the word. But that is a word. A-U-R-O-L? Your confidence. A-L? It is a real word. A-L. Aural. Aural. There's a U in there.

Yeah, there's A-U-R-A- r a l relating to the ear or the sense of hearing anyway you should stop doing that wade well we did with the ear infections no more ear fucking for you yeah sorry wade you gotta stop ear fucking for at least a month at least a month don't worry we found a way to utilize nostrils moving forward. No, not nors rule. What is that even? Not nors rule. Nor rule. Relating to the nose.

Nor rule. I told you to stay inside. Oh, nasal. God, it was right in front of our face. Nors rule. Right under my nors. It almost was inside my nors rules I like nors rule. It almost was inside my nors rules. My norsle cavity.

I prefer nors rule myself. We're good otherwise. Life in Ohio is great. You guys should come back. Doubt. I heard that, but I don't believe it. As far as every other place on the internet that I hear, Ohio is a hellscape wasteland that is just doomsday as soon as you cross the border. It is fire. I know people can't stop talking about us. It's

so great. Everything's Ohio. Did you see the joke going around that we should solve hunger by flooding Ohio and turning it into the nation's largest salmon farm? I think we are the peak of the US and of all America. So if you flood Ohio, you're flooding everything else. You know, it is this weird sense of pride I do get because as a fellow Ohio man, there's like this kind of weird thing like, yeah, everyone's talking about Ohio. I kind of like the idea that it's a Cthulhu-esque like eldritch horror, just landscape of devastation as far as I can see like only dead people go there

and here in Ohio we call that land farmland yeah I like the vision of the Ohio Tourism Board it's just a couple of people in a room just on the internet constantly like oh did you see this one no press is bad press right guys

they're talking about us nobody's making flood michigan jokes maybe we should make a museum of ohio eldritch horrors who the fuck are you how'd you get in this meeting it is i the meme creator what the hell

i almost think it would be worth it to get a job as a joke just to talk like that exclusively with everyone at your work. That would be nice. You have to like stand in the shadows and no one knows you're there. And then you turn around, twirl your mustache, and you're like, I've been here the whole time. It was I who instituted this. I brought Ohio to the forefront.

You have to have your own little crew follow you around flagging lights so you can always have shadows to hide in. And holding like your jacket butt flaps up for you while you walk. buffets you're what they dust your behind with a little feather duster while they do it what am i i don't maybe i'm going off tangent that's a thing well it would be for me if i was evil and wearing purple you have to wear purple too i think no offense bob whoa whoa purple is the color of uh royalty and uh good things those are the. Purple's also the color of the twirly mustache man. You know what's evil? Red. Yeah, but red's so overdone.

Purple's the surprise Ohio in the corner man. The devil. What else is red? The Arizona Cardinals football team. The Cardinals, the Ohio birds. I guess that would make sense. I thought it was Kentucky. We have the Cardinal in Ohio.

The Cardinal is the bird of several states, I think, if I remember correctly. But I think Cardinal is the bird of Ohio. I just don't know what our flower is. We have the Buckeye tree. What's our flower? The Ohio National Flower is a traffic gun. They spring up every spring,

and then they go away in the winter. It's true. Oh, it's technically the carnation, which is also red. Or it's orange and yellow. So, yeah, traffic cone. Well played. I guess red would make sense for ohio i i stole that joke i heard a long time ago that is like the oldest joke dad joke i think i've ever heard you make yeah i know i i felt bad saying it but we are getting older i actually laughed because i was taken aback so aggressively

by the fact that you said it i know right, right? It's weird. Yeah, I felt like gray hairs just exploding out of my scalp as soon as it was coming out of my mouth. A clip for your phone appeared on your belt as you said it. That's the kind of post you would see on bad Facebook memes where he's just like,

you know what? I deserve any kind of hate that's coming to me on the subreddit. You're one of those people in that commercial for that insurance company where they're like, don't become your parents. The guy in all those ones where the guy's in the store and he's like, how low can you go on this mug? I love this mug.

I never remember what company those commercials are for, but I do always enjoy them. I know. No idea. Yeah. It's the guy who is the counselor and I don't know. It's insurance. Never never gonna buy it bad ad bad ad i like the one where the guy's shopping and he walks up to the manager he's like stephanie and aisle six great job he just like turns and pushes this car he wants to talk to the manager

to give like to give a compliment to one of the employees yeah thanks mark that's you mark thanks guys all right glad we got the conclusion. Thank you. Thank you. It's a traffic cone. Oh, that's right. Someone did bring up that I do have a voice that I've had forgotten about because it's been so long. It's like,

the Ohio National is a traffic cone. It crops up in the spring and it goes away in the winter. Is that 2010 Markiplier? 2010? Hello, everybody. Yeah, I've watched you since 2010, Mark. 2010.

Yeah. Really, 2008, but I only kind of watched you. That's true. Didn't you guys live together around then? He was watching you. I've watched you. I've watched you. Since August 28, 2007, I've watched you, Mark.

That parkour incident? He was there. He saw it. What I never knew was that when we bunked the beds, Bob, like, with a saw, cut out a hole where my ass was. And he's just like, as I, he's like, Arcanine, Arcanine. I clamber up there, I lay down, like,

Ah, man, this is comfy. And meanwhile, he's just staring at right, good night, Mark. And I clamber up there. I lay down like, ah, man, this is comfy. And meanwhile, he's just staring at my cheeks. Yeah, good night. When Markiplier's Tasteful Nude Calendar came out, I was like, eh, seen it. Been there, seen that. I've got a first edition. He actually put a hole around it so it reminded him of the old days. The old days.

Wish I could turn back time yep that all happened i'm pretty sure anyway well i'm glad everyone's doing well and all that other stuff we just talked about. Let's do the thing. You guys want to do? Right. This is the Halloween episode. Yeah, that was all spooky, spooky small talk that we had there. Crash lightning thunder. Scary ambiance.

Will, you heard him. Crash lightning thunder. Wade's calling the shots. You know the sound of lightning? It's thunder. Maybe we should have put that at the beginning. Crash, lightning, thunder, back at the beginning. I'm sure Will has made the whole thing just perfectly spooky and...

Organ music. And hopefully Baltimore, you know, really cranks up the spook factor. It's a good thing we planned all this. Mm-hmm, spook. Because then you know what it's going to be like when it is an episode. Yeah. Anyway, today's topic is clearly spooky. No about it no doubt obviously obviously we have to do a halloween candy tier list oh shit i've heard of those yeah no i'm stealing wade's idea and doing it to your list

that's okay i've apparently stolen all of yours where even and what are you the subreddit that's right we still read you even though you're on our list subreddit what did they what did they do when you've been bad or good so post for goodness sake what did they do guys I don't know but I was out there and I saw someone post that every podcast has the same

three hosts meme again and I almost lost it Jesus okay man I saw it too but it was images of like hp lovecraftian horrors or did you find another different one oh i saw the regular one i don't know oh no i saw one of lovecraftian horrors where one of us was cthulhu it was like three lovecraftian horrors and then like there was a little guy holding a torch and they were like mark is cthulhu bob is this cthulhu monster. Wade's the guy holding the torch. Other monster.

Yeah. Or was that like a villager? It was like the three pictures of these awesome looking monsters and like this tiny little one pixel image of a man with a little flame. And they're like, that's Wade. I don't know if it's a compliment or an insult, but you're just a guy in the crowd. Is that all? Like, ah, Wade, there he is. You see him squint real hard.

I'm the worst Waldo of the podcast. If you find me in an episode,'ve won candy tearless i like candy i know this is going to be spooky everyone finds candy spooky obviously you know what i didn't think about before picking this and announcing this as a topic is this a custom outside of the u.s is this like a u.s exclusive thing or do you think just do people trick-or-treat in other countries i don't think so does anyone exist outside of the u.s i've thought about this before and i think i looked it up and i'm pretty sure it's something like very few other people do in the same way uh looks like ireland mexico italy and portugal are a few countries with halloween time celebrations i don't know if trick-or-treating is a thing.

In Ireland and Scotland, they celebrate Sam Haynes. Sam! Japan has a Kawasaki Halloween parade. Hold on. What country was that, Wade? Japan? You did not say that. Just so you know, you said Japan.

Japan has a... Was that not on purpose? Was it on purpose? Japan? Japan? Maybe not. Yeah. Japan. You were like, it's Scotland or wherever they celebrate Samhain in Japan.

Around Halloween, Japan does become Japan. Dude. Organ. I don't think you can recover that way. No. Will's not going to organ you on that one. Okay. You know what win? Boopify italy for a good attempt points for japan not a lot of points but some points uh but apparently halloween celebrated differently

around the world probably at different times for different reasons what's the origin of halloween it's almost like the meaning of the holiday is inconsistent. Mexico, Dia de los Muertos. Yeah, it's like the... Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not Halloween. Let's be clear about this. I've heard that that's a very offensive comparison. That is a specific Mexican tradition that has nothing to do with Halloween. It's not Halloween.

It's more of like a celebration of life. It's a thing about honoring your ancestors and remembering everyone, right? It's not the same. I don't know what the origin of Halloween is in the U..s the idea of halloween is just an end of harvest thing i think like the spook factor started to really like get integrated with probably the same kind of idea of like costuming and like costumes in general as it started like going out at night i imagine it was kind of an evolving thing in america as it trended towards elaborate costumes at night there's a natural kind of like

spooky scary tale as things get colder and the mists roll in and you know the harvest and stuff like that i don't imagine it started out with like let's all be fucking scary for a month let's all be terrifying let's be so scared i sit out of each other i don't think that was it wasn't the idea to wear a mask to hide yourself from evil or something like you were supposed to hide yourself from the the spirits roam free and you must disguise yourself or they will they're gonna get you you or whatever yeah the whole point of wearing a mask was to hide from whatever spirits are into yeah we're all making guesses here we don't know anything actually no i didn't do any research about this i just am curious now that we're talking about what the actual topic is

which is candy the scariest dessert well they have candy all around the world and it's all american candy nope you are really going international with your anger like you're you're getting i'll get you're getting around the world to get everyone to hate you no matter where you live in the world it's ohio i've learned this from the internet you're all ohio and you always will be wow okay join me i don't know where that conclusion came from i swear i was paying attention for the most of this conversation i don't know how we got here i wasn't and i still got there that one really came out of left field i just like to imagine my dad always told the story before i was born he worked for like gm the automotive manufacturer at some point they

they owned fiat in italy and he had to like go to italy for a couple months something to work over there and it was cool but it was over there over thanksgiving so on the thursday and there was like a whole group of americans so on the thursday of thanksgiving they went to like the restaurant where they ate most nights like the hotel restaurant or whatever and they were like hey can you guys make like turkey it's like an american holiday we know that you don't celebrate it here and probably don't really know what it is but we like to eat turkey on this holiday can you and the and the kitchen was super cool and they're like yeah we make you turkey and they did and so they had thanksgiving but from that point on every thursday

was turkey thursday so they had thanksgiving for like a couple months every thursday i do love that that is really cool they got to go home. My favorite holiday only because of the food. Yeah. I just love the idea of like Americans being over in Italy or wherever and on Halloween just going out in costumes. Give me candy. That was unusual.

Candy in my bag. And all the European people, whoever, it's just like, um, we have like raisins. I don't know. Here you go, weird weirdo and then every whatever it's like that happens on a monday night every monday night the europeans are like are they here are they coming back is it candy night every monday at 6 p.m the children arrive dressed horrifyingly begging for food i mean that's how you get halloween to start in other places like

an infection of horror they're like they're gonna come again this year you've Halloween to start in other places, like an infection of horror. They're like, they're going to come again this year. You've got to get the candy. You've got to make sure you have it or they're going to kill us. A small child. Do you want dinner tonight? Put this on and knock on the neighbor's door at 6 p.m. Ask them for food. It's like a Halloween clubs for all expats living in other countries.

A huge group of Americans get together for Halloween. Just runs around scaring the shit out of people and then once they're scared they're like, Halloween bitches! And run away. All the poor Europeans are just like, what the fuck? What's wrong with you people? What is Halloween? Don't know. We have to do it.

It's just a thing now. You have to do it. It's like we have to do this episode. Even though the tier list is very divisive, we must. That's true. We must. We have to. For the people. It's required. And apologies to all of our international viewers whose candy will not make the cut. I will say there are so many different candies from around the world and so many different

sodas and stuff. We just know ours. We're lame. Shut up. Yeah. Come on, man. Sorry. I take my apology back. The host said to shut up and so I shall. Don't acknowledge them. Don't help them form the reasons to be angry. Let them do that. There's a certain barrier to that.

You're happy and you'll like this and you'll be interested about learning about our American culture and our healthy candy snacks. We have to have a conversation about group social dynamics with you. We gotta like really talk about that. You do all the time. I just never show up to those meetings. Very busy not giving

that's true it's hard to get wade locked down for a meeting oh is it a quarter tail i'm too busy to care it's true it's true i am the group i'm ohio it's all true he speaks facts all right all right all right i gotta be honest it's hard to pick where to start with this because there's definitely different like types of candy that i view personally uh different good in different contexts try picking video games bob you think this is hard welcome to my world i want to start with a with a baseline all right the classic we going to start rating candies. Oh, I didn't even tell you what your tiers are. Oh. Yes. It's the usual, really.

But the tiers are first one I eat, A tier, B tier, last one I eat, straight to the trash, and I have no idea what that is. Okay. All right. So no F. I guess that's straight into the trash. No. Well, we can add tiers, if anything.

C is last, and D is straight in the trash yeah but i know you didn't say those i'm just trying to quantify them in my head no yeah yeah that's a good way to describe it because really it's like the first one you eat is b would be average yeah b is average yeah i'm gonna guess and i'm gonna try and hunt to give us sort of the the middle ones the average ones to give us a start before we get to the really polarizing ones straight into the trash is pretty like f tier i would say what it has to be is like if there's the only there can only really be one first you eat kind of right because even if you had all of the first you eats by themselves one would be the first of the first well so we could each have the first one that we eat then maybe that's true maybe you get you get to pick one yeah okay and you commit to that

so we can have three first gods, but that's like one. If we agree, that doesn't work. But we can each have our own. Cool. Fair enough. We have pretty different tastes. I could see that happening. We'll see.

We'll see. Okay. I'm ready. All right. So I want to start with one that I feel like is a solid, definite quality candy, but I'm curious how you guys see it. The classic milk chocolate bar, like a straight up hershey's bar or whatever brand you know not like a fancy chocolate bar either not like some lint pure they're not giving out

those on halloween the gas station chocolate bar a hershey's kiss equivalent yeah a hershey's kiss or a hershey's you know a hershey's mini bar or whatever pure regular chocolate american chocolate regular chocolate okay waxy old rego milk chocolate it is waxy that is the thing that's always strange because i'll have like high quality chocolate i'm like oh this isn't waxy yeah so but sometimes i crave the waxiness the hard part with this is my taste buds have changed like this would have been like first gone when i was a kid and now it's like really do i really want it just like plain as compared to all the other chocolatey not to mention other options well okay it would have at least been a tier i guess like it would have been up there like i was if i got a hershey bar like a plain hershey bar i was like yes but nowadays after eating better

quality man where would i put it of the hallow candies, I guess B. I guess it would be a solid B. Mark? It's really one of those things where because there's such a wealth of choices, like chocolate and we, everyone listening to this, if you understand our perspective here, you understand that we're talking about specifically Hershey's level chocolate. We're not talking about the higher end chocolates with all those fancy names, European chocolate, whatever.

We know they're better. This is the basic experience. So be as fair. I wouldn't eat it last just because I would pop it in my mouth as I'm looking through the other candy. Right. I pop it in my mouth, let it melt. And just as I'm thinking, I'm not really like savoring it. I'm not putting it in my mouth and being like, oh, my God, it's amazing.

I mean, I swallow everything whole anyway, so I just hork it down like a snake. But it just goes down. You see my neck just like a brick goes down sideways i'm assuming we're not adding like higher tier chocolates this is going to be like strictly the how the common candy that people buy in bulk to give away to kids yeah stuff you would actually get in like an yeah whatever the most common american stuff you would get for halloween stuff of that stuff i still think that b tier is fair for b is fair i wouldn't eat it last that's for sure i'm not disappointed to get it but i wouldn't be like no yes i'm i'm happy it's perfectly content which i think is what b is all about i think we're in aggressive agreement and that's

what i was kind of hoping for that i i i full-heartedly agree i would never not eat harshie's kiss or a chocolate bar or whatever but it's definitely like that would sort of linger around until i wanted chocolate and i was out of you know whatever chocolate i might prefer to that or like you said mark i would grab that first because i'm like oh i know what that is boom yeah now if we want to be divisive, is it dark chocolate or milk chocolate? Oh, when I was a kid. Yeah. Dark chocolate.

I didn't throw away, but I gave to my parents because I did not like it. Which is, I mean, that's the equivalent, right? If you don't want it for yourself, it's like straight into the trash. Yeah. Yeah. So for me, even to this day, and I know people are all the chocolate snobs are going to get on my ass. I would throw it away.

Dark chocolate. I would literally. You haven't grown up yet. I haven't. Apparently. Look, man, I like chocolate to be sweet. I'm not going to lie. Have you seen how tall he is?

It just is what. Oh, sorry, Mark. Did you hear that? That's hard to do that much. I'm good. No, no. that's hard to do that much oh i'm good no no i i i know it's a bad take and i know like when you get down to a certain percentage of milk chocolate it's not chocolate and that's where the wax comes from but like i said i do love a sweet sweet chocolate and the bitterness everyone's like

oh the bitterness is where the flavor gets all robust and baby dan if you get the notes and i'm like i don't care i really i don't care i was with you until literally about a year and a half ago molly bought um like those dove chocolates she got milk oh yeah dark and like i forget it was one that was like uh something else both and i ate i was eating the milk ones and i was like yeah you can have the dark ones and then like i tried a dark chocolate and i was like i thought it would be and then like sometime in this last year and a half time period I've switched From like I don't even want the milk chocolates anymore like she bought both and I only ate the darks

There's a job. I don't know how when why there's a jar of those I was eating about your house chocolates Yeah, they still there. I walk by him every day never tempted. I don't even look at how long Before I ate them very long time Enjoy your old spoiled burnt chocolate. No they were there's like a month How long were those there before I ate them? Very long time. Oh, no. Enjoy your old, spoiled, burnt chocolate. No, they were there like a month. So you get free mystery jar candy. Well, I ate some of them and I'm still alive.

I admit it's a bad take, but I can't help myself. It's a personal choice. That's fine. We've talked about food things before, and that's, I get why people who like dark chocolate are like, oh, it's so sweet. How can you at this point in my life i like both i did not like dark chocolate as a kid but i can appreciate dark chocolate now it's good it has qualities that i definitely enjoy i would eat either but i think you're allowed to like that mark thank you who's gonna yuck your yuck or whatever yuck

your preference they would say i could hear the arguments already. It's like, you don't like chocolate, you like sugar. And I'm like, yeah, you're right. I do. You'll judge by the next things on my tier list. I like sugar. That's what candy's all about for me. But I will say because I am biased and inconsistent, Wade gets

points for that because I agree with him. That's fair. Sorry, but you're allowed to like that, Mark. I'm not judging you. It's fair. It's fair. It's fair. You just don't get points.

There are certain chocolates I feel like would be weird dark. Like, I can't imagine eating, like, a crunch bar that's all dark. Maybe it would be good. I don't know. But there's some that, like... Oh, that's interesting. Like, milk chocolate is so enraptured with other things in them that it would be weird to think about having it with dark.

But maybe it would be better. I don't know. It's just hard to imagine it. Yeah. If we're talking caramel chocolate like care like the ghirardelli chocolate with the caramel inside squares that's a that's a tier that's a tier for me well i was i was just gonna say what a great segue you created wade because there is a kind of chocolate where you can directly compare almost almost directly compare, dark to milk chocolate in the same context.

And that is Mounds Bars versus Almond Joy. That's the one. The picture is really small and hard to see. So Mounds versus Almond Joy. So yeah, so Almond Joy is coconut, shredded coconut mixed with like, it's like a kind of a creamy filling. It's like thick, but it's like coconut flavored.

It has an almond on it and it's covered in milk chocolate. Mounds is the exact same thing without the almond covered in dark chocolate. So it's pretty one-to-one type comparison. I have an answer. We can rate them separately if you guys have strong opinions or they can go together. But where would you put those? Mind if I go? Yeah.

Go, please. Trash. Both. Trash. Ooh. Both. Right in the trash. I agree with Mark.

I don't like coconut. I don't like coconut. I'm not a coconut. The coconut thing doesn't do it for me. I don't like the crunch between the teeth. I don't like the way it squishes. I don't like the flavor. It's too much.

Throw it away. From the time I was a child till now, those are the ones that, the first ones first ones i give away to my like those are bottom of straight into the trash they go yeah bob you look so sorry bob i'm sorry oh yeah i forgot you could see my face this is my honest reaction i knew the moment you brought him up i was like oh i'm gonna break that poor man's heart well look i was afraid of that because i know that that's a common opinion about those coconut is surprisingly divisive in in general it's divisive in desserts and i feel like in savory food as well i like it in pina coladas that's it nothing else there's like coconut curry and stuff like that some people just can't just don't make coconut the only time

i like coconut is when it's on a cake and i don't know what type of case like carrot cake or whatever you're talking about like the coconut like the southern coconut white cake thing which is like covered in shredded coconut type stuff even that's like i scrape off some of the coconut like just because it's just too much that's fair but yeah that would be the only time not a coconut guy well i like them both. Straight into the trash, but like the first ones into the trash. I prefer, I used to like the Almond Joy better because that's the milk chocolate. I prefer the dark chocolate one now.

And I also like that it doesn't have the nuts on top of it because those can really, those hurt my teeth. I got bad teeth. Sometimes you're like oh i'll bite right around the nut and then the nuts like i'm over there and my teeth are like ah help i had the same reaction in college to nuts candy all right oh all right well i was afraid that would go that way but i like the dark chocolate you i'm very hurt inside no points for anyone all right all right well those were those were kind of chocolate bars and we can circle back to chocolate bars but there are different types

of candy and uh the next one i want to move on to is like sugar-based stuff okay and this is for me in my experience this is a thing i got so much of in my halloween trick-or-treat bags and that would be nerds oh man guys get you guys get a lot of nerds the little boxes like yeah yeah those little little cardboard boxes and it's for anyone who doesn't know nerds are like little like BB sized hunks that are basically just sugar Yeah, but they come in boxes. So it's kind of like little mini M&Ms, but they're just sugar. My mouth is watering just thinking about Yeah, so they're they're just hard sugar candy in a very small little form nerds were one of the ones I was most excited to Get as a kid. I loved nerds. Yeah. They were like a special colorful surprise.

But there were different flavors of Nerds, so it also depended on which flavor you got. They taste the same. And sometimes like the real good boxes were like the one side of one flavor, the other side a different flavor. You'd have like the two in one. But most of them were like the little like fun size boxes.

Yeah, with little cardboard openings at the top and you slide open. Yeah, but the little ones, see the difference with the little ones is, like the little ones, I swear, you could taste the cardboard more when you were trying to eat the nerds which was great if you put it straight to your mouth i like that part of it because i what i would do no what i would do dead serious what i do is i would bite i would bite into the box because it has that perforation at the top but i'd bite it yeah rip it open and then

dump it in my mouth all in one go i wouldn't even like spit out the top of it i'm reminded of the dogs reflect their owner's cheek a conversation of you eating the cardboard like oh there's nerds in here man this cardboard's a treat on its own i mean i'm dead seriously i'm not allowed that's no exaggeration there i'm not exactly a cardboard eater but i will say if you don't shoot those little tiny nerd boxes in all one go the cardboard gets wet it's an issue but if you like tear it open and just like vomit shoot it back or if you pour it in your hand i mean you could there were ways around it nerds were a tier for me a tier they weren't the first gone but they were a it's really it's a contender for first gone for me personally yeah i would they were but i know that there are other candy that i would put in front of it it's definitely up there though it's way up in a tier that's legit i would put

them myself at b but i i'm a chocolate guy yeah i feel that i understand yeah no i mean nerds are classic very classic did they have sour ones uh they kind of like i remember i don't think they had sour probably no they never had different like so i know i would know because i've like tried every sour candy. And sour candy is the thing that would be first for me. Yeah, it must have been a specific flavor. There was one nerd flavor that I liked more than the others. Probably because it was more tart.

Yeah. And less sweet. Well, not less sweet. We've got similar candy tastes. I never knew. Yeah. Wow. I'm sure we'll find something we're different on.

But yeah, so far we're right on. What a controversial episode. Meanwhile, the audience is frosting in the mouth. They're just like, freaks uh all right i don't know what my first gun was because it depended i don't know about this is gonna be tough for me because like it really depends on what i was craving get to it god get to it but what if i pass it what if i give it here then i regret it it's fine so that's gonna represent the sugar the sugar ones for a hot minute. And now we're going to get to what I, well, I don't want to taint it. I have opinions about this category of candy, but I think you'll understand what they are pretty quickly once I say.

The next one I want to talk about is candy corn. I didn't necessarily get a lot of candy corn in my Halloween halloween bag but i definitely got some like little packs of candy corn but it's around at the halloween times right it's like in a dish on the whatever on the table as a decoration or so i'm gonna say that's a halloween candy no i'm gonna say it defines an entire type of candy so for me it's it's weird right because i don't hate candy corn but i would never eat more than one, right? I know you eat them by the bunch. If it was there, I would try it

just because I do have a tendency towards the sweeter candies. It's just like, it's never been something that I really crave at all. And I know there's a stigma around candy corn and it's usually polarizing. It's like, you really love it or you really hate it. And for me, it's just like,

I'm just so indifferent towards it. i don't have any real strong feeling about it one way or another just because it's like it's fine i guess you know it's okay it's it's more just like i don't really know why everyone is so polarizing about i just don't care about i put it i wouldn't throw it away i would eat a few i would throw away half of it i wouldn't eat all of it which is essentially kind of like eating it last you just yeah whatever the leftovers but not straight in the trash interesting because i'm like i'll chew on one it's not gonna it's not gonna destroy my life and i don't get why it's such like a hey if you like candy corn you're the biggest freak alive and i'm like i don't like it i don't hate it though it's candy i'll eat it yeah that's how i feel surprisingly positive or neutral anyway i liked it more as a kid than i like it now

but i still don't hate it i think it was either low a or b tier i think even now i'd probably have it in b tier really i don't mind candy corn i don't i don't crave it i don't go to my way for it like i do with some other candies but like if there's like a little glass with some candy corn in it i'll sit there and munch on it that is surprising i am shooken i am not a candy corn hater but i consider it a decoration i the thing for me about candy corn is i don't trust that candy corn sitting in the decorative bowl and whatever in the kitchen or wherever i don't even trust that this is the first halloween that that candy corn has seen so like i don't think it's if you want it i don't think it's that bad it's just like sugary candy but i just like find it off-putting somehow also the texture it's very

waxy it's got like a shell on it and it's kind of chewy i wouldn't eat it but i wouldn't throw it away so i don't know where that leaves it yeah but you guys seem to kind of agree i mean so it's between b and last gone yeah well a or b for me but yeah i'm gonna go more with mark as a decider on this and and agree with last gone because i think that's pretty fair which also means that mark's gets mark mark wins the whole thing it's done also means that mark gets some points well why is that so shocking that i get a point is that is that okay no it's not shocking i couldn't. Oh, because it was so shocking. I was too shooken.

All right. Fair enough. Fair enough. All right. I'm going to take a guess here because I want to get one in this category that one of you or possibly both of you will put this as your first gone. The next one I want to talk about is Sour Patch Kids. Regular variety Sour Patch Kids.

The blue and the red and the green is it like the regular combo i need to ask are we approaching this from our current perspective or younger perspective you could consider what your preferences were as a kid but i'm i feel like it's wherever you land as you are right now if you really despise something right now then that's totally fair but if you love something as a kid so much, it's nostalgic for you. Even if you wouldn't eat it now, you can use whatever version of those two factors you would enjoy. As a kid, Sour Patch would have been like be your last gone. I was not a big fan of sour. Me now, it's probably A tier, lower A tier. Legit. I'm still angry. I'm still angry. Oh, yeah? I'm still angry. I forgot about that.

I'm still mad. This is not from Sour Patch. It's from a stranger. Yeah. Look, I wouldn't throw him away right away, but I'd make him know. I'd make him know and suffer. I'd stir with her toes,

and I'd cut off each little toe. I could mount even every tootsie to my wall. no i don't know they're they're okay i i it's not great i don't really like them it's below chocolate for me it really is because they're not even that sour that's the thing i like sour i don't really like gummy. Unless it's like a really tough gummy, like a gummy bear. I just don't like the kind of really soft. It gets in your teeth. It's annoying. The flavor isn't that great or that strong or that sour. It's just a very, it's just sugar in a form I don't even really like.

I prefer a nerd's form of sugar. So I would put that at like, just for the pain they've caused me, I put it last eaten. Just so I can keep it around. What did you say, Wade? A? I said either low A or high B. I feel like the median there is B pretty solidly. Yeah.

Which is where I will put it. Young me would have definitely been low B. But I forgot you had beef with that, Mark. I thought you liked those guys. I mean, I forgot you had a whole turnaround with them situation. They're okay. They're all right all right back to chocolate i feel like this is a halloween staple and sometimes at restaurants thing like specifically at skyline this is like part of the experience for me but this is a candy i would not normally eat outside of those two situations york peppermint patties did you guys get a lot of these in your Halloween bags?

Love Yorks. They're always like a random surprise. I never did. They just show up. I never buy them at the store in bulk. But if like Skyline, yeah, I would buy one. Or they appear in a candy bag. They're almost exclusively like Halloween candy for me. Or like restaurant candy.

Yeah, I feel like they sell them in the grocery store. And I've never even looked at them to buy them. But I got them on Halloween every year. No matter what, i would get a bunch of them and it's always a i always am happy i'm always happy like oh fuck it's a fuck a a a for me because it combines chocolate that i love and the mint i love mint oh it's b for me i oh i will occasionally want one of the mints i'd rather have an andy's mint than a york and it's like it's the last baby chocolate whoa whoa let's not talk too much shit about andy's okay calm down they don't even taste like mint i like andy's i'm saying i don't even taste like mint chocolate it's like not no mint

york i have to be really in a mood for it they're not bad but like i would never go out of my way for it and even if it was right there for free at the end of a meal i might pass so i've got to give it it's not the last gone because they're decent i just i never want one necessarily but i would say b whenever i look at a york i get easily a b i side with mark i feel the exact same way that you do mark when i go to skyline and you buy the little mini york peppermint Patty at the end of it, that's the cherry on top of a delicious meal. Yeah. And it's like you said, I would never buy one.

I don't think I've ever bought one. But every Halloween, you end up with some of those in the bag and you're like, ah, minty. Ooh, refreshing. That's just nice. I like it. It's good. Sorry, Wade. Points for Mark.

Make the sound. Yay! That's fair. Thank you. I'm not that sorry i guess i'm worried about uh focusing too much on chocolate but i love chocolate and i want to get a lot of them that's fair it is i wanted to get into a category uh that i call lumps how do you guys feel about the halloween mini bags of m&ms same as chocolate regular chocolate. Regular M&M's? Regular M&M's. I prefer peanut M&M's, but let's talk about regular straight ahead. Milk chocolate M&M's. No shenanigans. Same as chocolate. If M&M peanuts for me are A tier, I have to give M&M's like they're either the bottom

of A. I love M&M's. I love regular M&M's. But of all the candies, if I'm trying not to put everything into A tier, it's either a really high B or lower a because i'm taking eminem peanuts over regular m&ms every time for me it's simple it's it's the same as chocolate to me like i don't do it for the candy coating i think it's like okay that they're individualized like that i think it's a vehicle for the chocolate and i at the end of the day it tastes just the same as a normal like average hershey's chocolate bar so b for me same right next to regular chocolate every now and then i just want a big old handful of M&M's. So high B, low A. I'm going to say that's B between you guys.

And I will say I basically agree with what you said, Mark. But also it's such a fun form. You can bite them in half. You can try and peel the candy coating off. If we were talking mini M&M's, are we talking mini M&M's? Because that's a different experience. The small bag of M&M's. No, there's like regular brown bag M&M's are we talking mini M&M's because that's a different experience the small bag of M&M's there's like regular brown bag M&M's no varieties yeah I love the M&M's the little

yeah that's easily a that's easily a but the pack the brown pack or the yellow pack little tiny ones they never have that much anyway it's right next to chocolate those tubes are very nostalgic for me I did have a pack of M&M peanuts recently that had three M&M peanuts in it. The whole bag had three and it was very sad. That's very sad. That's just a failure on M&M's part, really. It's happened more than once with like the recent fun size. I don't know how they do it, but three M&M peanuts. Tough. All right. Well, I want to round out the lumps category before we can move on so the other lumps that i feel like are most common what do you guys think of a reese's pieces for anyone outside of the u.s who doesn't know what that is it's basically like a peanut butter cup that

filling but in the form of eminem little candy bits it's peanut butter flavored so it's not even chocolate but it's lumpy where do those fall for you see i think they're worse than eminem's i like a reese's they're high A for me. I love Reese's Pieces. God. When I was younger, I wasn't a big fan, but like I go out of my way to get them. If I go to the movie theater and I get a thing of popcorn and I see a little box of Reese's Pieces sitting there, I'm like, Yes, Wade. The sweet to go with my salty.

No, no, no. A Reese's Cup. Reese's Pieces are up an A. They're up an A for me. Oh, no. A Reese's Cup. Reese's Pieces are up in A. They're up in A for me. Reese's Cup is the pinnacle of that form of candy.

Reese's Pieces are an entirely different experience, and they do not taste the same. They're side by side on the list for me. They're not. They're not. It's way down C. Sometimes I crave the cup, but if I see a handful of Reese's Pieces,

I will eat them. Oh, man. Craving the cup. Molly. Craving the cup Crave in the cup, Molly. Crave in the cup. Crave in the cup. Crave in the cup. Molly, bring the goblet of Reese's Pieces. You guys cup craving right now?

You cup crave? Yeah, me too. Yeah, we should sell that. Hey, peanut butter cup guys. Yeah, that's a whole ad campaign. Crave the cup. There you go. Crave the cup.

That's good. You're welcome. Uh-huh. Imagine a cup made of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup full of Reese's Pieces. It worse didn't they have like reese's pieces like the uh inside of reese cups yeah you can get like a big peanut butter cup with pieces in it so it's like crunchy oh my god dude i don't want to bite into that and taste that texture that's awful that sounds so good i like the the cup for the smoothness i actually let that melt in my mouth they had like a little bar there was like a little bar.

There was like a little Reese's bar that had like almost a crunch bar texture to it. Oh, the Take Five or whatever? And then it had like the Reese's Pieces bites in it too. It was like a mixture of both. Oh my God. Yes. Yes. That.

That might be first gone if it's on the list. Oh my God. I want it now. Can I order those in bulk? It doesn't exist. Doesn't it not exist? I don't care about the podcast. I'm ordering this in bulk.

There are still versions of that, but it doesn't exist in the way. Bring it back. I'm going to go ahead and put Reese's Pieces at A because I agree strongly with Wade. So good. One of the most underrated candies out there. If we're talking movie theater snacks, the only thing that might top Reese's Pieces for me is Bunch O' Crunch. Oh, okay. Bunch O' Crunch. I also love Snow Caps. Reese's Pieces are like S-tier movie candy. snacks the only thing that might top reese's pieces for me is a bunch of crunch oh bunch of crunch i also love snow caps reese's pieces are like s tier movie candy yeah anyway sorry mark

fully disagree points for wade reese's pieces go in a review about snow caps snow caps you like snow caps i like snow caps too do you like are those on my list i'm well probably not they're not a halloween candy i'm just asking like quickly movie theater. Do you get snowcaps ever? No. Bad. Gross. Well, snowcaps are fine. Boo.

What's wrong with you? I thought you liked mint. I don't like mint that much. All right. Fair enough. Well, I mean, it's not even that mint. It's good. I mean, it's not great.

I don't like the little nubbies. I don't like the nubbies. Okay. Well, maybe the nubbies don't like you. Probably. Because I don't ever buy them. Yeah. Suck it.

All right. Fair enough. All right. That's the lumps. Lumps are done. I'm trying to keep this moving. We're just going to be like a nine hour episode. maybe the nubbies don't like you probably because i don't ever buy them yes suck it all right all right that's the lumps lumps are done i'm trying to keep this moving we're just gonna be like a nine hour episode that's okay if we don't know what this one is we can just pass and move on and just put it in the don't know did you guys get those caramel apple pops that were like yeah came in like a kind of a clear greenish wrapper and it's just like caramely stuff over a little green lollipop type thing that i never saw anywhere other than on halloween or around halloween i never remember getting them as a kid but when molly came down she started buying them for us to give out and i was like what is this and

she's like you never had these and i tried one and it is high a tier the caramel apple pops are so good and they've got like different flavors of the apple you can have like the the green apple. They've got like, I don't know, they've got like three or four different apple types with the caramel around it. And whenever we pass out candy, if we let the kids pick what they want, those are the first ones picked out by virtually every kid. And they are always so excited to see them in our basket. Those are high A tier. But as a kid, I never even knew they existed i like the flavor i like caramel and i like sour apple i think sour apple is one of the best flavors for candy and i think it's underutilized um that being said i've never had one of those that wasn't horrendously melted um

it's always shown up and i've been like excited about and i take out the wrapper and it's just like it looks like a ball sack right out of the wrapper. They don't look pretty. They don't look pretty at all. And it's fine because I'll eat it. But it's like if I had it in my bag and I was looking at it amongst all the other candies that I have, I wouldn't go for it first. I wouldn't even go for a second. I would put it like aside. I like it. I'm going to put it at B.

But it's like it's just not that high in my pick list. I really like it. And this is kind of like the problem with me and candy is like i like a lot of candies but there is a hierarchy so i gotta put it in b is it weird that it takes like you have to judge whether you want to eat it based on the amount of time it's probably the longest lasting one it takes so long to eat one it's more of a finisher candy yeah it's a finisher candy you know what if it if by the definition of the category i save for last save for last i would put it in that category i just feel bad because i've lumped other things that i don't like i feel like last gone is like you don't like it this is like a

candy you like you just eat it at the end it doesn't make it you're right you're right i i would put it yeah i think b is is fair for that yeah it's it's it's a for me it's a for me that's a tough call i am gonna say that it's like uh somewhere in between b and a very slightly closer to b gonna put that in b that's a solid candy it's crazy to me how much it's the first gone when we pass out candy it's people don't know about it and i think like that does it a detriment if people know more about a holiday special it's the only candy i've seen a kid celebrate that we've given out that's been like, oh my god, you have these? And it's like, people are

really excited to see them, and I never even knew they were real as a kid. Like, I'd never heard of them. Alright. This is one I have a feeling how you're gonna decide, but this is one that I feel like I got an unreasonable amount of as a kid. Did you guys get double bubble, individually wrapped pieces of bubble gum when you were Halloween-ing

during the treating? Yeah. Where does that fall for you? Low. Because bubble individually wrapped pieces of bubble gum when you were uh halloweening treating yeah where does that fall for you low because by the time it's in and this has happened every single time i don't know why by the time it's in my bag by the time i get it in my mouth it's gotten rock hard and it is impossible to chew and as far as like gum goes it is already pretty low on my my list of gums i'd much rather and this never happens in halloween to get like a big league chew or a sour gumball a crybaby gumball oh yeah like gum is gum and gum is polarizing but as far as gum goes the double bubble like the round cylindrical pink ones that's what you're talking about yeah yeah where you pull it and it twists open and it's like a little lump of

it's always hard it's always hard i don't think it's supposed to be, but they're always hard. Hard to bite into. Yeah. So I'd put it as C or save for... I actually have. I remember I see it on my floor when you dump your bag out on the floor. I see it. I've scooped it to the bottom.

Like all those are like... Those are save... Like leave for last. Those are. Yeah. They will get eaten, but I'm not happy about it wait i i mean i can't disagree that's that's the same for me like you can have the blow pop version where you get the sucker and then you deal with the gum on the inside when you first get the double bubble

it feels like it's gonna break your teeth when you try to bite into it the flavor is amazing for about four seconds and then it's gone and then it's just like you're chewing on flavorless gum that starts to get nasty. It has that moment of like, yes, but it's so short-lived. The initial bite in is kind of meh. And if you eat that, you're not eating any of your other candy because now you've got gum in your mouth

that you're chewing on. It's last gone or bottom of B. Yeah. We all agree so vehemently on this one. Yeah. I'm gonna give points to both of you. Oh, thanks. It is absolutely last gone. I'll I want to give points to both of you. Oh, thanks. It is absolutely last gone.

I'll say what I did is I always saved it so it gets harder and harder. And by the time I get to it, it's more like a hard candy. But like you're saying, the flavor goes away. So I do what Mark does

with all gum, with these gums. Where it's like I take one and it's like, mm, mm, oh, gross. And then you put another one in and it's like, mm, mm, mm, oh, like oh gross yeah and i eat as many

as i can and try and blow bubbles which you can't because it has no elasticity and then i spit it out and i throw the rest away yeah but i do eat them i don't throw them out but good agreement everybody all right we have no first gons i like the list we have it could be a lot longer but also we don't have all day for this shit i mean we could have all day you guys busy you want to do like a five hour episode i literally built the tier list myself while we were talking about this and i even after looking through them all and ranking them all i can't figure out what my first gun is well that's unfortunate because what i was gonna say is i'd like the finale no no they'll do it and And I'm not going to be too specific. I could for sure, but I'm not. But Wade is very slightly ahead of Mark.

He's earned points one more time than Wade has. But I will say, each of you choose your first gone. Pitch me on it a little bit. And whoever has the best first gone and or sells the best story will win the final points of the game. Oh, OK. Wait, do you need some time?

Because I actually I think I know mine. If you know yours, go for it. I think I know mine, too. I think I know what I'm going to go with. But yeah, go ahead and give your story a title and chapters. Go. Oh, OK. No, I'm just the first act one.

No, mine's easy. And it wasn't too often that I got it but i do remember getting it on occasion because they have there's a big version of this and then there's a small version of this i'm talking fun dip okay fun dip for me is the quintessential childhood candy and i'm thinking halloween because i'm not going out trick-or-treating as an adult i'm going back to who i was as a kid and what i really, really fucking loved to have. And it was fun dip. And you know, we just made arguments about gum lasting a long time and stuff like that and yada yada. If I saw a fun dip in there above anything else,

anything else that was always first, because it was a satisfying activity. It lasted a very long time. The flavor was consistently good, especially if it was sour apple or they had like this mixing uh like green and blue you could mix the flavors if you got different i remember those and then the sticks the sticks i my favorite one of my favorite types of candy is like a chalk that chalky candy i really really like that and it's like i get the really tart sweet powder licking the candy dipping it in making it better you feel like a scientist if you get the really tart, sweet powder, licking the candy, dipping it in, making it better. You feel like a scientist if you get the three pack, you know, you're here, here, there and there. And I need two sticks for this. But the single serving was so great because you get the

full size stick with one pouch, whereas the other one, I think it was like two sticks for three pouches. And it's not a good ratio. But the single one that you get a Halloween, if I got a fun dip, I was so happy. So fun dip reach for it first. Even if it was in front of me right now, I'd be dipping and I'd be funning. I'd be having fun and dipping. Love that shit. Fun Dip's fantastic. I've got it pretty high A. That's legit.

So I've tried to think this through. I would think that a chocolate bar would be first. And I've been trying to rank them. Butterfinger, Crunch, Reese's, Three Musketeers, Milky Way. Throughout my life, they've kind of varied where they are. It's hard to ever say no to a Crunch Bar, M&M Peanuts, or Reese's, Three Musketeers, Milky Way. Throughout my life, they've kind of varied where they are. It's hard to ever say no to a Crunch Bar M&M Peanuts or Reese's Cup, but depending on which one I want, I kind of jump back and forth.

I look at the non-chocolates. Gushers, Fruit Roll-Ups, those are up there. The problem is, if I get a Cherry Wildfire Fruit Roll-Up, first gone. If I get the Strawberry, it's kind of like, man, I could've gotten one of the other flavors. I don't mind Strawberry, but like Tropical Tie like tropical tie dye depends on which one you get. Gusher, same way.

I'm going to go Laffy Taffy. What? I'm going to go Laffy Taffy. As a kid, I wasn't as big of a fan, but as an adult, it's fruity enough. And there's a different, another variety of flavor. If I'm craving like the sour, they've got like the lemony flavor. So I can go lemony for like the more sour've got like the lemony flavor so i can go lemony for like the more sour taste they have a banana and a sour apple and i love sour apple

candy and laffy taffy i get like the chewy funness whatever like you can kind of get like a front roll up i like chewy so i don't mind laffy taffy on that but banana is a nice solid just sweet good flavor i love banana sour apple gives me my like my one of my favorite ones and then just like the lemon heady every now and then like out of nowhere i'll crave like a lemon head which is very rare but the yellow ones get that i think there's just enough variety in what kind of sweet you can get from them to where it hits different notes and the only reason there are things i like more than laffy taffy but those vary as to which one i crave more so i don't know which one would be first gone so what i would end up probably doing is trying to figure out which one I would

want the most depending on my mood save that one a bit I would eat the Laffy Taffy first because it could hit all the notes other than chocolate that I would want so Laffy Taffy is what I'm going to go with for that reason Fun Dip I have the same issue with Fun Dip that I have with the caramel apple pops fantastic but if I'm eating Fun Dip I'm not eating any of the other candies because like it does kind of last in your mouth. It lingers, which is great. But also like I'm not going to eat a chocolate bar after eating a Fun Dip. And also I need time to eat the Fun Dip.

I can't just like pop one, go. It's high up there, but it takes too much time to be like the first gone. First gone is like I get home, peeling it, opening it, pop a Laffy Taffy, figure out what I'm eating next because I don't know which one I would want more. Depends. I am a little bit surprised by both of your answers. Really? But way more surprised by Wade's answer.

Yeah, me too. That is a bull. I am too. I am too because I did not know. I sat here staring at this list. You like the banana flavored Laffy Taffy? You like banana Laffy Taffy? I do. I like Runts too.

The banana Runts. I literally pick those out and throw them away because I fucking hate that fake banana flavor. It's awful. I love it. Oh man. That's crazy. Starburst was up there too. I thought about Starburst over Laffy Taffy. I would pick a Starburst over a Laffy Taffy any day though.

I like the red and pink Starburst a lot. It depends which one you get. See the Starburst also depends because they got like the tropical version the regular version those two packs and it's like a loot box you're like oh which two are in here and there's always like a good one and a yellow one yeah but i don't mind the other ones but you know i guess with laffy taffy it depends too because if you get individual laffy taffies that's different than getting like a pack of multiple flavors i guess they all depend but which which crazy that what what you said did make me immediately think oh I like Starburst and I would put Starburst way ahead of Laffy Taffy but yeah yeah you're allowed to you're

allowed to like Laffy Taffy they're all up there for me I just the getting the sour the sweet and not knowing which chocolate I can't pick a chocolate over another because I just changed too much which one I want more unfortunately for you Wadeade oh i feel that's fine i get it that's a wild choice and mark reminded me that fun dip exists you forgot fun dip is one of those where in my life i don't know if this is universal the only time i ever had it was halloween and some school events if they had candy where it was like oh it's field day here's some candy they had fun dip a lot in that sort of situation for me and fun dip is a great it's a fun activity after basketball games they had the little the little convenience stores outside you could i'd get airheads fun dip and

maybe a chocolate bar like every time airheads are also banging airheads are great i gotta give points and a good amount of points to Mark. Because Fun Dips, you're right, it's like a science experiment. It's so fun. And you mix the flavors and then you eat the stick later. Don't try to make Kool-Aid out of it. It is not the same. No. I did that too. It's awful.

It's awful. It's terrible. I would have never even thought of that. It's not concentrated enough to dilute. It's not meant for that. It doesn't even dissolve right. I see why you would have never even thought of that. Yeah. It's not concentrated enough to dilute. It's not meant for that. It doesn't even dissolve right. It's weird. I see why you would have.

Yeah. It like clumps. Man, I love Fun Dip, but I can't put it first gone. I would love it. I think that's fascinating that you like Laffy Taffy the most, though. It is, but I know people exist and you are a prime example of it. Like everyone has different preferences and there's a reason Laffy Taffy is such a popular candy. The weird thing,

like here's the thing though. It's not. It's not necessarily my first gone. I just can't pick one. And so I would eat that first while trying to figure out what to eat next. Oh, I see.

I see. I cannot put a Reese cup above a Crunch Bar or above M&M Peanuts or vice versa. I can't do it. It's not technically favorite candy. It is first gone.

Yeah, it is a special category. Yeah. So first gone for that reason. Yeah, I know. I know we're out of time. I would love to just rattle off several candies that are like very near and near to my heart. If that's OK, let's do a lightning round. Each of you will get a short amount of time to just give some good candies that you would

put like a tier or up. OK, cool. Just list like a handful. Smarties lollipops. Smarties is like people notice the thin roll of tubes. They make a lollipop. It's very hard to find, but if you find it, it is a giant Smartie on a stick. And you can let that dissolve in your mouth.

Whereas like the tube, you have a tendency to crunch them. But you can actually, I love that chalky sweet like sugar. And I let that dissolve. It's just like so delicious. The only problem that keeps it from first pick is like, it's very large. Like it's huge. So I just, it's hard to like keep in your mind.

You can't roll it between your cheeks very well. So A tier for me. I've never heard of that. That's interesting. That's very good. You're just naming one? No, we go back and forth, right? Back and forth, yeah, that works.

Here's a random one. I don't know if it counts as a candy, but at Halloween, my grandpa would hand out cans of Coke and everyone in the neighborhood loved that like my friends were so jealous like dude your grandpa is awesome because just a can of coca-cola or whatever and like everyone was super stoked about it it's not a candy but it was like a halloween thing that like people were super excited about my grandparents house for you know all those kids who really loved it were the ones whose parents were like no caffeine we don't need you being hyper and they got the can of coke and they were like yes

probably most of them yeah i'm gonna be on drugs and i guess i'll group this with it that or any of the houses where they handed out like the big version of a candy bar those were always like the jackpot that's some no that's some bougie shit right there no one in my neighborhood ever did that yeah you don't eat those first you you save those for bargaining like i set those aside because i know their value i've got one whole kit kat first gone for me is misleading yeah i always saved my favorites for the end so i would actually first gone would be the ones i liked the least and at the very end i would have all of my favorites and just like live in luxury or you just don't eat them either way just look at them i was a hoarder sometimes i did not eat all my candy and i like live in luxury or you just don't eat them either way just look at

them i was a hoarder sometimes i did not eat all my candy and i would like hoard it and find it the next year yeah the i my next pick is shock tarts also known as shockers also known as sweet tarts extreme sours which they went through various brand changes and i don't know why the original version was so sour like it would melt your mouth the current current version is still very sour, but not as sour. I love sour candies. That is one of my go-tos. I just bought a bag the other day just because I was like, I want it. But I don't finish the bag because it's like too sour.

I remember freshman year when we lived together, you would have huge stacks of monster cans on your desk and huge piles of those boxes, like movie boxes of shock tarts. You would just, didn't you think you damaged your taste buds or something at one point because you ate so many shock tarts over such a long period of time my tongue was gone like I'm sure everyone gets that thing where if you think about sour candy your mouth starts to feel the sour candy

like I get that all the time with the slightest thing but it's like I can't wait for sour candy I love that feeling I love the sour the citric acid and malic acid and whatever the other ones are love that feeling i love the the sour the citric acid and malic acid and whatever the other ones are love that a high a solid choice like a sour candy going with chocolate we haven't mentioned butterfinger and specifically we were younger butterfinger bbs which were the little like bite-sized versions of the butterfingers yeah those were so fantastically delicious and then

they disappeared and i have thought about those ever since oh man that's a good one your dreams i want them back yeah those were good and the tragedy that butterfinger has changed their recipe in the last like 10 years or so i forget when and it's completely different it does not taste the same it is not nearly as good original butterfingers it's probably toxic and full of horrible chemicals but i don't care they're delicious it tasted fantastic in a similar vein cookies and cream Hershey's. I would put that a above regular, just like something about their cookies and cream, the white chocolate, the chocolate, little crunchy pieces. It's like the, what I love about a crunch bar without like having too crunchy.

And it's like, just, I cannot get enough of cookies and cream. I like cookies and cream, ice cream. I like cookies and cream cake, ice cream cake, all these kinds of different things. When I was a kid, that was my favorite candy bar no no competitors whatsoever it's a good one it's really sweet it's like extra sweet compared to regular chocolate it really is just like a white chocolate thing but wayne skittles and tropical skittles oh yeah yeah tropical skittles oh my god well sour skittles yeah any anything in the skittle category oh sour skittles also yes yeah they had all kinds of skittles that Oh, my God. Well, Sour Skittles. Yeah, anything in the Skittle category I love. Oh, Sour Skittles also.

Yes. Yeah, they had all kinds of Skittles. That's another one I considered for first come, but it's like there's so many varieties. Yeah. Depending on the bag you get and what you're craving. It really does. Classic. Yeah.

I'm trying to think of a device. Oh, Tootsie Pops. Fucking Tootsie Pops. How could I forget about that? Are Tootsie Pops and Blow Pops in the same category? Yeah. Sour Apple Blow Pops are the best Blow Pops. Both of those.

We'll not take any questions. Yeah. Sour Apple Blow Pops are the best blow pop will not take any questions yeah but sour apple blow pops are the best tootsie pops are pretty much all the same between the flavors well i mean not really the orange is like very orange i remember that a lot they have flavors they're all right but the the blow pops are definitely different and sour apple is my favorite by far uh those are just like those are ubiquitous for halloween candy for me definitely definitely out there tootsie was below blow for me but i like tootsie rolls oh yeah themselves oh tootsie rolls are great i put that right to chocolate yeah same as chocolate for me all the chocolate is basically the same interesting yeah i should have done that one that's a classic i mean i guess we would have agreed i don't know

if everyone likes this but i've always liked chocolate covered raisins and chocolate covered peanuts i enjoy both of those a lot raisinettes and peanutettes. What are those called? Yeah, both of those Well, I don't know if there's a brand of like chocolate-covered peanuts But like you can go to the store and just get like a thing of chocolate-covered peanuts like we have fuck What's the name of the goddamn international restaurant we have here in Cincinnati? Why am I blanking on it? What the one where the international food store where you can buy food from all jungle gyms? Oh, yeah, they have like a whole section of like I guess Oh, Jungle Jams.

Jungle Jams. Jungle Jams? Yeah. They have like a whole section of like, I guess, handcrafted chocolate or whatever you can get. And they just have like a box of like gummy worms that aren't like necessarily brand name. They've got like M&M peanuts and stuff. I will go and just grab a box of chocolate covered peanuts or chocolate covered raisins sometimes and just be really happy with those. Yeah.

But no one ever seemed excited. I always got everyone's chocolate covered raisins. And I was like, these are good. I don't know why you don't like them. I don't like the raisins, but the chocolate covered peanuts. Yeah. Bangers. My next one, and I'll probably like finish off with this,

is something that you would get in an individual bag. It was handmade. People probably know it now as Muddy Buddies, but Puppy Chow. Puppy Chow, yeah. Getting a little Ziploc bag of Puppy Chow in your Halloween candy was like incredible because it was homemade too.

I feel like that's something that we don't get to experience now. You can get it in the store as Muddy Buddies. Yeah, the Muddy Buddies. And they have flavors. They have, like, peanut butter and cookies and cream. Those are good. Those are tasty.

It's pretty close. But nothing's like that homemade, just soaked. Like, in Muddy Buddies, like, again, I got it relatively recently. You can actually see the checks. In Puppy Chow, you can't see that there's any checks. It's, like, lumpy. It's lumpy. It's just solid. recently you can actually see the checks in puppy chow you can't see that there's any checks like lumpy it's lumpy it's just solid but you get like a cluster of like 10 and 1 oh that was the best when you get one that's like just a piece of chocolate with checks and stuff in it and you

eat it like it's a little candy bar yeah yeah oh it's so good those people know how to live yeah that's classic yeah i haven't had that since i was in elementary school i'm pretty much i think that makes him nobody makes me puppy chow anymore i used to be stoked to get rice crispy treats rice groceries are good in the homemade vein there was a house that made homemade rice crispy treats for halloween and they like covered them in chocolate so it's like a chocolate covered rice crispy treat that you can get it was homemade that version of it was but rice crispy treats and like those are still rice crispy treat cereals that still exist god i loved that as a kid too yeah of course oh yeah that was yeah i think i think i've seen that online rice crispy treats and like those are still rice crispy treat cereals that still exist god i loved that as a kid too yeah of course oh yeah that was yeah i think i think i've seen that online rice crispy treat cereal no that exists that is no no not rice crispy cereal yeah i was

about to say it was basically a rice crispy treat that they broke into like chunky pieces so it's like the marshmallowy rice crispy i thought you didn't know that the cereal came first before the treat i was like i thought no no no they had the cereal was rice Rice Krispies. I thought you didn't know that the cereal came first before the treat. I was like, I thought for a second. No, no, no. They had, the cereal was Rice Krispies or there was a Rice Krispie treat cereal. I did not know that. But they changed the way it was done. We got to do a cereal tier list, you know.

Oh, yeah. Oh, man. I also feel like I got to say the homemade Rice Krispies versus store-bought Rice Krispies. I feel like those are two different things. Yeah, they are. I love store-bought Rice Krispies, but they're like hard. They break. The homemade ones,

when you try and like break them and they just like moosh. Yeah. Because they're soft because they're just made with... You might have gotten old ones though. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, no, I had store-bought recently

because the corridor office had them. They're very, they're very chewy and soft. You might have just had old ones. They've got birthday cake flavored ones in the store now and they are phenomenal. Anyway.

Well, good way to end it, Mark god i want candy i'm such a fucking candy bean right now that was such a good idea i'm gonna give you a little bit more points thank you well i was thinking it was gonna be really close but then uh can i say i'm surprised at three exclusions what's that we didn't mention snickers bars kit kats or twix bars none of us did i know i feel like i didn't want to focus on chocolate too much i feel like the chocolate bars are all not that far apart i agree but those are actually lower for me than they are for most people i think interesting those would be b as opposed to like baby ruth was a b growing up it's an a now but like i would not have a reesey cup on the same level as a kit kat yeah i think reesey

cups are way above that you must just like peanut more because I would put those at A well no Snickers has peanut in it right yeah it does yeah no I I would put the bars at A just because they're an elevation of chocolate and I like that in the caramel it's nice yeah I just thought it was interesting that we didn't bring those up because those are three of the more popular ones I think I was kind of trying to hit a broad spectrum of like categories yeah because I feel like unless there's a specific thing you don't like if you don't like nuts if you don't like nougat or whatever then or caramel you'll not like a specific bar but that's fair the chocolate and the chocolate bars are middle end up i feel like pretty consistently yeah unless you're a weirdo who doesn't like chocolate stuff

weirdo disgusting except for whoppers milk duds and almond joys and mounds which are straight into the trash for me yeah well those are coconut bars that's fine i'm offended and hurt forever but that's fine malted milk balls but anyway this was enlightening i'm still pretty surprised at all the picks that you guys threw out there but that's that's just uh you know how humanity is how wonderful is that how wonderful is that hey and if i look at my very careful notes that i've taken on the intel scoreboard i think it's pretty clear to see for me as well as for anyone who was listening that although he led almost the entire episode that doesn't bode well somehow right at the very end mark scored points on a thing that wasn't even worth points and won it yeah i look forward

to the subreddit defending my getting screwed what yet again. It was your Laffy Taffy pick. Yay! I'm sorry that I was bold and honest. That's true. I thought you were gonna give me some chocolate. If you had gotten chocolate compared to where Mark went, I couldn't pick. I might have given you that category.

I know, well, that's fair. And you were honest. Yeah. And you have integrity. Which equals nothing in this world. We learned it here. And you're a loser. So if there's a lesson you can take from this episode. Subreddit, defend me vehemently. If there's a lesson you can take away from this episode,

it's that honesty and integrity never bought nobody nothing. What I meant to say was all I'm enjoying mounds. First gone. Wade wins God I love lying Mark wins Lying never pays Don't lie kids

Anyway yeah congratulations Mark That was really close you really did sincerely lead Like almost the whole time Wade and you had some really good picks Laffy Taffy came out of nowhere That's very interesting Unfortunately interesting is not always worth points it was the only one at the top of my list like in the a tier that i like consistently couldn't drop below something else and i was like there are times where i'm craving this times when i'm not laughing taffy

i can pretty much just always eat no that's fair like that's that is bold to take that it's not a bad candy it's not bad it is not my, but it's one that never drops down. It's legit. I don't know. Well, Mark, winner of speech. Great victor. I love candy way too much, but just remember, everybody, do brush your teeth and floss. It's not that I've lost any in my teeth, but apparently I...

Don't brush too much. That's really the question. Brush the right amount. Brush the right amount. Apparently, there's a wrong amount, especially with electric toothbrush. Apparently, I've brushed away some of my my gum my teeth are very healthy and very good and i don't have any cavities but my doctors will one day find out it was the sour candy that ate away your gum no that i talked about that i said like i think i might have a cavity because of

sour candy it's like no because every time i eat sour candy i brush really hard and i make sure but apparently what i'm doing is like i'm eroding away my gums with how much i'm over brushing so acid from sour combined with the brushing away. You were just melting it and then helping it along. No, my teeth are fine. My teeth are 100% okay. It's because the gums have exposed the root. Everyone knows sour candy only attacks the gums.

That's a fact. It's not. Are you listening to me? I just made it up. Of course it is. I feel like Wade is mocking you like you're being an idiot, but I don't understand where that's coming from. You believed the dentist?

Yeah, you're right. Don't overbrush. I actually know somebody else who overbrushed and brushed their gums away too. That is a thing. Yeah, and it exposes the roots. You can floss too hard too. Exactly. So just remember, but do floss because I have started flossing every day,

and it's been actually helping a lot. It been helping an incredible amount i'm like oh they were right the whole time yeah it stops bleeding after a while but don't floss like you're using a weed whacker and don't brush like you're using a weed whacker use a toothbrush not a weed whacker yeah you're not supposed to floss under your tooth and around the other side i don't think that's how you're supposed to do that that's the problem better. I pulled the tooth out. I totally flossed it. I put it back in. What's the problem? I pop her out. Rub it on my shirt a little bit.

Mark at the dentist. Show me how you floss. Okay, watch this. All the way around. First, I take my jaw off. Then I brush it. I'm sorry. How is this flossing?

I just imagine watching you brush your teeth you like touch the tooth and then like you pull your lip down and you just go scrubbing out the gums like as hard as you can dude apparently like those electronic twofer like the ultrasonic ones they go and you do not need to do a full two minutes with those apparently so uh anyway that's my winter speech

that dental health is important kids spay and neuter your kids spay and neuter your kids no no no no no wait oh your animal your animal children spay and neuter them that's the one i meant all right um yeah wait loser speech anything uh spay and neuter your pets too um along with the kids i don't know uh thanks for listening happy halloween and make sure you check your candy before you eat it because there's weird people out there unfortunately that's probably fine i survived that'll be fine that lady's house made of candy in the woods you can trust her you just take part of her house that was an easy one yeah and go inside and she'll make you a turkey or something. Her house. I put a bee deer. It was all right.

Witch's house. Witch's house. Hi, bee. Hi, bee. Bad experience. Unrelated to the candy. Awful the amount of flies you have to lick off the outside to get to the good part. Runts!

Runts! I mentioned runts. Oh. No. Forgot about runts. Nah, nah. I love runts. Not that good.

They have banana flavor. Runts runts. Not that good. They have banana flavor. Runts are great. They're good. I love the runts from the candy machine outside of the convenience store. The one that's been open and everyone sticks their hand in. You know, you put a quarter in, it slides out on the tube and the end of the tray everyone like drools into. You scoop those up and you shove them right in your mouth.

Runts. Oh, yeah. I love them. Man, I'm glad I was a kid last time I used a candy dispenser. That is just a horrifying thing in modern as an adult i don't like it there's a different perspective in the last few years is that we would have had younger yeah probably yeah well thank you for listening to distractible gentle listeners thank you for checking us out candy corn's better than you
