This is a headgum podcast. The Reluctant Republic This is how American writer and historian Friedrich F. Van de Wader described the state of Vermont, which, from 1777 to 1791, was a semi-sovereign nation. Founded to establish independence from neighbors Quebec and New York, Vermont earned an early reputation as an enclave of social progressivism, which is carried forward to today. In 1978, in the Vermont capital of Burlington, childhood friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield followed the pattern of many grown-up hippies by becoming businessmen, opening an ice cream

shop centered on their liberal values they share with the state. Two years later, they began packing and selling their ice cream in stores, which turned them into a regional and then nationwide brand. The duo overcame a unique hurdle. Cohen has a rare condition called anosmia, meaning he can't sense smell and so his ability to taste is muted. This genetic anomaly was run reason their company pioneered the now common creamery practice of mixins.

Cohen focused on texture over flavor in his dairy desserts, leading them to invent now staple flavors like chocolate chip cookie dough and peanut butter cup. In 1987, this duo paid tribute to wacky-debaki-jam band The Grateful Dead by adding to its eclectic flavor array with cherry Garcia, a psychedelic concoction of cherry ice cream and chocolate chunks that kicked off their dual traditions of naming flavors for celebs and incorporating fan suggestions. But as is the fate of many once-small businesses founded with idealistic aims, the company was acquired by a multinational in 2000, global food goliath Unilever.

But despite this foreboding corporate takeover, Cohen and Greenfield's brainchild has mostly continued business as usual, selling classic flavors, their own beloved creations like Chunky Monkey and pop culture-inspired fare like Stephen Colbert's American Dream, while continuing to advocate for leftist political causes, including the candidacy of the Green Mountain State's own Bernie Sanders. And at their now numerous parlors, they offer flavors by the scoop and dessert items, ranging from the obscene indulgence of the Vermonster Sunday, made with 20 scoops of ice cream, to the realized utopia of Free Cone Day.

Today, the parlor that two hippies opened in a refurbished gas station now has franchises across the globe. So how is the in-store experience of Vermont's most famous export? This week on Doe Boys, Ben and Jerry's Scoop Shop. Welcome to Doe Boys, the podcast about chain restaurants. I'm Nick Weiger, alongside my co-host, Admiral Snack Bar, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. That's funny, but what is a snack bar? That's a place where you get snacks.

Okay. A snack bar like at the movie theater. You call it the snack bar when concession stands. Concession stands, snack bar, it's a term people say, those courtesy of... Who calls it a snack bar? People call it a snack bar. Also just changing act to snack in and of itself, even if a snack bar wasn't a thing, still works.

It doesn't mean... It's all snack. That's fun. You can have fun with that. Do people believe I'm a snack in the, you know, in the crush way? Well, certainly some of the women in our Twitter mentions think that. I need the Doe Boys fans. Fans of all genders, there are some Mitch enthusiasts.

And some Weiger enthusiasts. I think the Mitch enthusiasts are more numerous. It's not a competition, but if it is, I destroy you. You're more specific. I'm very generic. If you have an insult you'd like me to use on Mitch at the Office Show, Rose Spoon Man at Gmail.com. What?

You have an appeal. You have a specific appeal. You're just calling me fat. I'm not saying that. You're a handsome man. You're a handsome big guy. There are people who are into handsome big guys. I'm a very neutral looking man.

Yeah. Everything about you is neutral. Yeah, I know. Well, hey, I've got this colorful shirt. That's something for me. A little splash of color. What does that shirt say? It's for the Atlanta Dream WNBA team.

Are you okay? Do you watch the Atlanta Dream? I'm getting into it. I'm trying to get into the WNBA this NBA offseason. Wow. When does it play? Do they go till August or something? Yeah, the season's like 20-something, 30-something games.

I should know more at this point, but I'm still just getting my toe in the water. Well, Nick, we got a special musical guest today. We sure do. I'm going to play a drop from someone who, people, a lot of this grew for having the best drop so far. Yeah. Let's hear it. Ah, fuck.

Ah, fuck. So I was staying in my parents' bedroom and just had, like, the hardest direction. Super hard. Super hard. Being a man had a huge hard on. Pants were soaked, fucking came out of my pants. Pulled my underwear down. Oh, that's what happened.

Pulled my underwear down. Shit all over my soul. You didn't smell it? No. Did you shower? No. It's the boner I had earlier. Ah, fuck.

A weird, spontaneous, midnight shitting. This is fucking nasty. This is a luminous... It was a particularly smelly shit. Super hard. Super hard. It was a luminous, huge hard on. Sound back on your dick work.

That was a goblin. Wow. They're good. Well made. It didn't like the content of that one. Hey, D-boys. Thanks a lot for playing our shit drop on your P.F. Chang's episode. We felt like total rock gods.

This time around, we investigate through song some important details about Nick's private time at night. And as you will hear, the results are truly shocking. They went back in the archives. I think I told that story on episode 16 or something like that. Wow. That was very, very early on. Thanks for all the goofs and food reviews.

Please look to Big Cat Music Squad for all your future drop needs. Your friends for life, Big Cat Music Squad. Wow. How about that? And Mitch, how do people send in drops? Shut up. Give them the address. No.

We got some new blood in the drop game. I don't care. It perked it up. And we don't want any more blood. It got us out of our rut we were in without all these drops from Persinger and Shampoodler. Those are good drops. They're fine. Hey.

All right. You email SpoonmanDrops at gmail.com. There you go. Give that out every episode. No. You get some new voices in here. I don't like your structure. I think it's helpful.

I think people like the structure. I think people like being known. You think that people like the structure? Listeners. Yes. I know there are people who like the structure because they respond to formats. But also, listeners, they want to participate in the show. They like being able to send stuff in.

They like knowing how to do that. We get emails to the... People send in drops to roast Spoonman because they just don't know where to send them. You forward those drops to me. I'm not going to do that. Why? Do your own work. What do you mean do my own work?

Just take one second and say where people send drops into the top of the episode. SpoonmanDrops at gmail.com. There you go. How hard was that? Why are you being stubborn about it? You're just being stubborn about it because I'm suggesting it. That's the only reason you're putting up any sort of opposition. Nick, introduce our guests.

Well, before we introduce our guests... It's hot out. You're cranky. Before we introduce our guests, we have one thing. I'm very, very excited to talk with our guests because it is hot out. I am cranky. And these are some cool dudes who are going to cool us all down. But speaking of cool dudes, we received a voicemail to the Doughboys Hotline.

We can tell you're about to play something. I hear the little buzzing of the cord you're plugging into your computer. Yes. I touched the ox cord. I mean, we could have edited that out, but now you referenced it. One of our friends and past guests made a call to the Hotline, and it's maybe not who you expect. Hey, guys.

Jason Manzik is calling. Episode 150, Sugarfish in the Hot Massachusetts zone. I'm calling because I figured, you know what? If Joan Hodgman can call into this show and just talk about what everyone's to talk about, just what? I'm going to talk about stuff I want to talk about. So here I am calling in about today's episode, P.F. Chang with Cool Up The Lifesock. Here's the deal, guys.

I am willing to match the offer that Wyker made with Mitch that I will also offer $5,000 if Mitch can get a song on the Billboard Top 100. Now, I am willing to increase my bet to $10,000 if Mitch can get some version of his Lettuce Rap song, song today on the episode, on to the Billboard 100. So that's now $15,000 on the table, Mitch. And I bet, I'm willing to goddamn bet that other past guests of Doe Boys, I'm looking at you, John Hodgman, you're drowning in all those book dollars. Why not pony up?

Let's make this really matter, okay? So far, $15,000 on the table, Mitch. The balls in your court. Other guest hosts call in. Let's get this money up. Come on. All right. Great show, you guys.

Drive it around these streets. Listen into this nonsense. Hope you're well. Eat shit. Goodbye. Wow. Wow, Nick. Wow.

That's nice to have something entertaining on the show for like 90 seconds. We're about to entertain people for an hour and a half. Yeah, we're gonna, I just meant breaking up our band. Yeah, he's good. He's great. He's a good guy. Nick, I accept his challenge and I got just the guys here to help me do this. Wow.

Our guests are Rock and Roll Band, composed of members of the birthday boys. The new album Dancing on the Wind is now available everywhere. Jeff Dutton. Tim Cowpackus. Mike Hanford. The sloppy boy. Rock and Roll. Hey, guys.

Man, is she staying an hour and a half? Yeah. Oh, my God. We're fucked. We talk about for an hour and a half. Give her a take. Give her a take. Man, wasn't that on this?

We were a guest on this when that came up that you were gonna do a song, wasn't it? Oh, maybe. Yeah. Maybe it was a... You might have just been redoing the same bit. I feel like I was here in the seat. Like you think you can? I think that I can get a song on the billboard top.

Yeah, maybe we're just repeating it. Maybe that's... It might have been, yeah. We might have just been... We're running out of bits. We're just doing the same thing. That's a good bit. Yeah.

But it's weird that if you fluked and had a hit song that the whole world loved that then comedians would give you money also. Right. You don't really need $15,000. It was within the year, right? You had a year to do it? You have one year. Yeah.

One year from when the episode came out. Starting today. No. It's not starting today. Why not? Because we... The cool-up episode where the challenge was... Oh, come on.

We do for you for today. Let him. All right. You get one extra week, I think that buys you. One more week. One bonus week. We'll start today as this episode's release. Wow.

Dutton is gonna help you, by the way. June 13th. Yeah, I'm gonna do some mad cats. What is it? Big cat. Yeah. I'm gonna do some of that stuff on there. Mad cat's the third-party controller.

That was great. That... It was good. It was well done. Yeah, those guys are good. Maybe... You should. They're better than me for sure.

No, by a long shot. By a long shot. But it's also got to be on Billboard 100? Yeah, it's gonna be on the Billboard top 100. You said you're... You said a high bar for yourself. Yeah. You gotta go really sparse.

You know, you need a sparse beat and then the lyrics just like, I'm the Mitch dude a hundred times. Yeah, you gotta do Billy Eilish or Drake. You're really sparse. I like that. Well, the lettuce wrap is sparse. Yeah. There's not a lot to the lettuce wrap.

In fact... What is the lettuce wrap? There's almost nothing at all. Can we hear it? Yeah. Tim, you'll like this. In fact, I bet you these guys can do verses of the lettuce wrap. This is fun.

It's like an improv game. Oh, fuck. I can't believe it. Yo, lettuce wrap. It's the lettuce wrap. Oh, romaine lettuce. That's for me. Put it in a bowl and give it to me.

That's really good. I really, honestly love it. Yeah. We don't, I mean, we don't need to do our own takes on it because that was already really good. Oh. Just enjoy that. When you go to McDonald's, you can get it in a cup.

At my house, I'll toss it up. It's a lettuce wrap. It's about lettuce. I know. Let us wrap it. We get it. Oh. I didn't know what it was about.

People have to wait for the second verse for it to all click. Yeah. When you say it's about lettuce, then people will sort of figure it out. It's a big reveal. Hey, you know, speaking of music, speaking of the heat, you guys are a band. What are your favorite summer jams? Oh, you did not tell me you were going to do this. Well, first of all, I, I can do better with the lettuce wrap.

Don't worry about it. Take some time to think on it. Come back later. Well, fuck you. I'll do it right now. I'll do a bad one. Okay. I was going to do, I got a new version of it.

Come on. We'll keep talking. I got to think of the lyrics. Okay. Okay. So summer jams. Let's start over here. Mike Hanford, what comes to mind?

And let us know if you need a little bit of time to pond. I think what comes to mind is, is Will Smith's summer time. Oh, yeah. Is it my favorite summer jam? I don't know, but that comes to mind right away. Okay. It paints a picture of the Philadelphia summers I never had. Right.

But still, they seem fun. You were close to Philadelphia. Close enough. Yeah. Dutton, did you get any faves? Oh, yeah. Like, what's my, my new summer jam is Sunflower by Spiderman. Wow.

The Spiderman verse. Yes. Post Malone. Post Malone. Featuring Swae Lee, I think. Wait, it's by Spiderman? No, it's in Spiderman. Oh, okay.

And I didn't know it was credited to Spiderman. Which came out in December. Right. That's okay. I like that song. That's a good, I don't know if I like Post Malone overall. I haven't heard enough, but that song's good. Do you like him?

I do. Oh. I think he's charming. I don't really like... And he's got a good voice. I don't really know anything about Post Malone. I just know about Malone in the post talking about Carl. Yeah.

You know what I'm talking about, Carl. I'm thinking of a lettuce wrap. Yeah, we know. We know what you're thinking. Are you thinking of other rhymes for Romaine or are you thinking of a new lettuce? I'm thinking of a new, I'm almost there. I almost got it. Okay.

You know, you kind of look like a, you could be like a Post Malone type guy. Yeah. Dutton. You could. You get some tattoos on that. I know. I don't like this. On that face of yours.

He's not bad looking. Seriously. He's good looking. He's got face tattoos. Wasn't there, wasn't there, wasn't there a, wasn't there news that he smelled or something? Oh yeah. I remember that was like the above the fold in the New York Times. That's a, that's a deal breaker for you, Mitch.

You couldn't pull that off. Fuck you. No, you're a good smelling guy. That's true. You know, you can, you talk about being a sloppy guy, but you're always freshly showered and, and smelling like Axe bodies. Well, groomed. We're everybody loves the smell of Axe body spray.

Right. That's universal. Uh, Tim, you got a favorite summer song. I like in the summertime when the weather's fine. Mungo Jerry. Oh yeah. Mungo Jerry. Oh Mungo Jerry.

Yeah. Or also that song is summertime in the livings easy Bradley's on the microphone and one bros seven G sublime baby. Yes. And speaking of that, I got, I got one ready. Ready? A summer jam. It's a new lettuce wrap.

Okay. Yeah. So this will be your summer jam. The new lettuce wrap. Yeah. Oh God. I'm, I'm afraid to do it. No, just do it.

Um, uh, sit right down. Enjoy your beer. It's not the lettuce wrap you're about to hear. It's the lettuce. FAP. It's the lettuce FAP. One more time. It's the lettuce FAP.

Now hold two heads of, of lettuce high. Oh wow. You've caught my eye. Those curvy. Keep going. Yeah. Fuck. I pulled the thing out of my microphone.

Oh no. Yeah. No, you can't. Yeah. I mean, you can left that on. Yeah. You can't do that when you're recording your big hit song. Your curvy body has caught my eye.

Oh God. I was just trying to say that you jerk off with lettuce. I couldn't get it. You say that two heads of lettuce and it makes you horny. It makes them horny. That I, that I do that. Yeah. I couldn't get the words.

All right. It's hard. It's harder to write a song than I thought it was. Yeah. I know. It's kind of the point. But then why do you say, why do you say, oh, I got one. Lettuce FAP.

Yeah. No, we got it. Yeah. The FAP part's good. Yeah. You're just confusing yourself. Pain to doing it. You're brought on yourself.

It's like a parody of a song that you haven't completed. I think you should finish the original version first. Lettuce FAP is good. Yeah. But you're saying in the lettuce wrap that it's not the lettuce wrap anymore. You're going to split the vote and you're never going to make it to the hot 100. That's true. People are going to be confused.

What about... Hold on. I want to give a shout out to Manzookas who's in John Wick 3. Very cool. It's cool. The TikTok man. Yeah. It's cool.

Very, very cool. I liked it. I like it versus cool. You haven't seen 3. You piece of shit. I've seen it. You haven't seen it. He's smiling.

I saw it. I saw it. I'm with you. I haven't seen it. You're a little stinker. You didn't see it. I saw it. How about you sing some lettuce FAP if it's so easy.

No, I didn't say it was easy. He never says I got something. I didn't say he's still I have. He doesn't have 15 grand on the line like you do. Well, it's not even on the line. You're not going to lose 15 grand, right? No, no. You can only gain here.

No, you have skin in the game. That's part of the bet. Well, you're investing in the recording of it too, I'm guessing. You have to pay for a studio. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to fleece him. Yeah. Yeah, don't give him a friend rate.

Let's move on from summer jams to summer treats. It gets a little hot out there. Leafy greens they turn me on and that is why I wrote this song. Lettuce FAP. It's lettuce FAP. That's good. Get back to rap. Get off the fast.

I thought this song was about Liger jerking off. Yeah. It is about him. It's about you? It's anyone who's in the lettuce. So I'm singing it? Yeah. It's in my voice.

So he'll make the money? In the video, he'll play. In the video, I'll dress up like him. Like Eminem used to. Don't worry about the video. Like Eminem used to. I actually am coming around. I think that's pretty cool.

It'll be when the way that Eminem dressed up was all the different people. Yeah, that was fun. It's good. Mitch, you're great. I love this new FAP that Mitch is working on. You can't give me a verse. No, I don't.

What? That's not what I do. What do you mean that's not what you do? You're an entertainer. Oh, I'm not. You were. They listen to this show. They know that's a lie.

Jeff and I are going to make a hit. Yeah, do it. That's fine. It's going to happen. Do it and you can profit. I was listening to Train the other day. Train? Yes.

We sang some of it up. No, we don't need to bring up. Let's bleep out. It's bleeped out. But I want to write a song like Train. I think that Train song is nice. Drops of Jupiter? Drops of Jupiter.

I think it's a nice song. I don't think people like that song. No. You got to go for something that's like, if you seriously want to get on the Billboard Top 100, you got to use the sounds of the day. Yeah. The sounds of the moment.

Now, what do you mean by that? Your hi-hat has to sound like a bug zapper. Okay. It's got to be bass that goes... You're talking about current production trends. Yeah, you got to trick people. All right, we can do that. The vocal has to be lazy.

You got to do almost nothing. Everything above is lazy. No, the lettuce wrap. You tense up when you rap. The lettuce wrap is a little sweaty. I know. What do you mean? You're hunched over the microphone.

You're beat red. You're staring at laughter. You're putting your head in your hands. I pulled the cord out of the microphone. Oh, yeah, don't do that. Yeah, don't look like you're in pain. You guys weren't cheering for me. Well, we wanted to hear your song.

We didn't like it. We were rooting against you. It's funny, Mitch brings up Drops of Jupiter. Yeah. We name-checked that song on the new album. Whoa, very well. Really, on the song Radio Days. Do we have to pay training?

Yeah, I've taken care of that. I think you can say the name of their song without- Yeah, I'll pay anyone. Oh, you're paying them? No, we sing like 45 seconds of it. Oh, okay. Yeah, and it's perfect. It's unmistakable.

We say, hey, what do you think of this? Drops of Jupiter? I'll say this. On the last album, we had a song called My Favorite Lady that we weren't allowed to name Lady Gaga. That is flagged as you can't name a song Lady Gaga. Oh, interesting. Did you consider naming it Baby Goo Goo?

We should. That's all we sing during the song. The character you play with Natalie? Baby Goo Goo needs a changey-wangey. That's sexy. We both like it. So I think what- When I think of summer treats,

obviously we're talking about- We're going to talk about ice cream a little bit today. Sure. Yes, please. Sorry, another verse of the Let Us Wrap. I could, if you want me to. I can make up any verse. I can come up with a verse right now.

Yes. That chorus. No, please, just you're fine. You don't have a song that you have a chorus. I'm going to have a chorus to the song. Emma, you liked it. The Let Us Wrap? Yeah.

See, she let me like it. She was going nuts over there, my God. What a good employee. She's so fast with the support. The Let Us Wrap? I loved it. Ask you a song. He's cynical and jaded.

You song, did you like the Let Us Wrap? Oh, I mean, yes. See, that seems sincere. You song. His song is sitting in the shadows of the court. I stopped everything to say, you think people don't like Drops of Jupiter anymore? Oh, man.

Oh, God, damn. Oh, brother. I can't even- This can't even take so long. As we're circling back to this. We got to get back to that. We get this done in 25 minutes. We could stay on task.

I had the ice cream. It was good to see you. If you had said Meet Virginia, that's the hippest song in the world. But Drops of Jupiter, I don't know about that. I found out that Drops of Jupiter is about his mom. Oh. Did you know that? Hmm.

You must feel pretty bad now, huh, Catman? Mrs. Trane. Mrs. Trane. Well, what about his mom? Yeah, what about his mom? It's sad. His mom passed away and he said- Okay.

He's like, she went to Jupiter. I don't know. Oh, fuck it. I don't know. Now she's back in the atmosphere. Isn't that the song that also has the best latte you've ever had? It does. That's about a date.

Oh, yeah. Did he date his mom? He might have dated her. That line there is bad. The best soy latte that you ever had. Yeah, or something like that. We were doing soy latte already when that song came out. I feel like-

What year was that? If you made fun of people's current coffee orders, you would say that. This is Los Angeles in 1998, 1999, 1998. Released in 2001. Wow. Way later than I thought. 2001. 2001 Space.

Was that before Jupiter? I get it. That's wild. 2001, yeah. Since 9-11, we've been making soy latte, like hacky jokes. That's just been a thing that's been in the site. Trane came up before 9-11. February 2001 is the lead single, yeah.

February. It's pre. I remember on 9-11, I was about to do a joke about it and then I got interrupted by the attack. Right. I was going to do a drop. After the attacks, I opened up my dorm window and I played drops of Jupiter for the campus to hear because I thought I would bring everyone together.

I heard it from across campus at Ithaca and I loved it. My mom called up and she was like, get out of the tower. We lived in the tower. Yeah. I was in the East Tower. Yeah. I was in the East Tower. No way.

I got the same point. Is the East Tower the smoking tower? No. Yeah. I was in the East Tower. My college roommate was- I don't know if you guys are all enough to be in college when 9-11 happened. My college roommate called our landline on September 12th after 9-11 because he was down

in San Diego with his family. I thought he was going to talk about 9-11 because it was all anything. I hadn't talked to him yet. He picked up the phone and I'm like, hey, what's up? He's like, hey, man, did you see the news? I was like, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. He's like, yeah.

Martha's and Smash Brothers. You'd seen that. They'd like released a new character and Prince Martha from Fire Emblem was going to be in Smash Brothers. Oh, my God. That's huge. The news. Yeah.

Oh, that's funny. But yeah, let's not dwell on this national tragedy for too long. I'm referring to people no longer liking drops of Jupiter. Let's do a little- Summer music. Yes. What were you talking about? Summer music.

Yeah. Unless you want to talk about more, I'm talking about summer snacks. Oh, summer snacks. Do you have a summer song? Choco Taco is my song. Okay. Choco Taco is my snack, I was going to say, and then a song. Let me think on the song.

I need a minute. Yeah. I don't got one. What do you have? You're not really a music guy. Well, when Calpacas was like summertime and I don't know what is in the live in B.C., the Sublime song, a reference to Long Beach, California. But I-

Was that a big thing when that came out and you were in Long Beach? Oh, yeah. People love Sublime. Sublime and Snoop Dogg and Warren G., all that music. I don't forget Cameron Diaz. Cameron Diaz, her single, a whist blaring. All the famous- You say your name very strange, Wager.

How are you supposed to say it? Cameron Diaz. Right? Diaz. Cameron Diaz. I think he was just doing what Jeff said Diaz. I know. No, I know.

I know what he's doing, impression of Wager. Cameron Diaz. Diaz. Diaz. You say it weird. That's fine. Cameron Diaz. You say it weird still.

Cameron Diaz. Cameron Diaz. That's the same thing I'm saying. That's a good idea. I got my favorite summer song. Yeah. Oh, take me out to the ball game. That song.

Take me out to the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and lettuce wraps. Oh, shit. I don't care if I never get to fab. See, you're doing it. I had a dirty life. I had a little late night dirty life. Late night.

After hours, baby. Guys, it's 8.37 p.m. Things are going to get a little blue. Man, lettuce wraps at a baseball game. That probably is what's going on now these days. Oh, boy. People love... Yeah, boy.

Boy, we're old cranks now. No one should have food. They enjoy it. The ballpark shall be shitty nachos and hot dogs. I had a... Summer treats for me. I think a lot of people will say watermelon. And I will reference watermelon because it's...

I think that's just like a very refreshing thing and it's like better in the heat. It's like when it's hot out, you get like a cold watermelon out of a cooler. It's like, oh, my God, what a delight. What a treat. You know watermelon? Yeah.

It's sometimes how people step in them and have watermelon shoes. Sure. Yeah. That cartoon thing that happens is fun sometimes. You see people do that. Yeah. You see like running Stimpy do that.

Yeah, it's funny. Yeah. Have you ever poured booze in a watermelon? Tim, you ever do this? No, I've never done that. It looks so appealing, but it also seems weird. Like, it's like jello shots. You don't need to trick yourself into eating booze

once you like it. Yeah. Right. It soaks it up and then you eat the watermelon. Yeah. It seems like... Or you put them on your feet and walk around. What does watermelon...

Yeah, you can soak it up through your feet. Does watermelon have a good enough taste? A strong enough taste. I think it tastes good, obviously. But I feel like watermelon, the artificial watermelon tastes so much stronger. Yeah. I mean, it's like watermelon to watermelon, I think.

Like, you can get... It's like when you get good corn or bad corn. Sure. But fake watermelon tastes is nothing like a watermelon. Yeah. A watermelon that has like a high taste. Ooh, you're making me salivate. I don't know.

I've never had a watermelon that tasted anything like remotely would remind me of anything. No, no, no. The potent Rochester watermelons you're getting. I've never... I mean, I've had good watermelons. Yes. Like you were saying.

We've all had good watermelons. Yes. You know, I see a lot of people eating a whole watermelon and then they shoot out the seeds like a machine gun. Oh, that's fun. That's a lot of fun, that thing that happens. You get behind that, but you don't get behind the shoes. No, I like both these things that happen.

Watermelon shoes and... Dun and I got one. Seeds like machine guns. I mean, actually, you guys may know this, but I don't know if you do. Friendly's watermelon roll. Oh, yeah. I don't have that. What are you talking about?

You don't know that? No. I've never had it, but I know what you're talking about. I've seen it like... Yeah. Oh, it's great. Hold on. It's an ice cream, it's like an ice cream casserole.

Like a big long... Oh, it's like a log. It's like a meatloaf. Yeah, it's like a log. Kind of like a yule log or something. Yes. That reminds me of those gums, the bubble-licious watermelons. Oh, yeah.

Where it's got a little half-moon of pink in there, and then the rest of the square is a dark green. That's a good sort of thing. That's cool. Are those the ones, Hanford, that you were talking about? Those are the very strong-tasting watermelons. Yeah. Yeah, the little ones, the cubes.

You know what I've gotten at? You're talking about corn, which I think is another staple sort of summer treat, but I like an elote asado, if you get it. Oh, yes. That's just a delight. Yeah, it's like a corn with some butter and some chili and some chili powder

and some lime. Street corn. Sometimes it's used. They use mayo to get it off to stick on. Yeah. Is there parmesan cheese on it? I think it might be a cotija, but it might be a parmesan.

I think it probably depends on how it's prepped. But when I've encountered it, it's not something I've ever made. It's only something I've ordered. But when I've had it, I was just like, oh, man, this is a delight. Do you guys do the chili lime stuff on the fruit carts that you see around?

I've done that, yeah. This might be like a California thing, but that's a great summer treat. Yeah. You get the... They do watermelon, but I'm mostly thinking of like the mango, coconut. The one I used to go to with the hot pepper flakes.

Yeah, with the chili, the hot stuff on it. The one I used to go to, it was you'd give a number, and then that was the number of different fruits they'd put in it. And that was also the number of dollars it would cost. So if you did a three, you'd get a $3 treat and you'd throw in some like, some honeydew and some pineapple and some mango or something in there

and then some chili powder. And yeah, that's just a delight, some lime juice. This is stupid, but when you say mango, you don't mean catan. Stupid question, stupid, stupid. It's not a stupid question. We've got a lot of... I mean, I think catan is kind of in the zeitgeist right now.

Oh, his book, yeah. We're all thinking about how Lauren pressured him to have sex with that woman. Yeah. Poor guy. It's just, yeah, it's a shame. Wait, so did you mean mango or what? I did mean mango.

Oh, you did? I did. No, that's why I'm glad he is. So it wasn't stupid. Yeah. How come mango never... How come we didn't want anyone to touch him? Nobody touched a mango.

Why was that? Why didn't anyone want to be touched? I think it was like a joke in the sketch. Oh. Oh. That's how you're going to be playing tonight. Late night wiger. You deny.

Boys of summer is... Just right now, it's kind of like the boys of summer. Oh, yeah, baby. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? The boys of summer. Now, do you respond to the... Because there's the Don Hanley original, did you respond to the Atari's cover of it?

No, I did not. Who, the black flag? I don't know why they made that change. I didn't like it. It wasn't necessary. I didn't like the song either. I liked the Don Hanley original. Right.

Summertime in the LBC, I like a lot. Yeah. It's a rap song. You know that. Haven't we done this for an episode before? We did. We spent a whole episode doing that. Was that really good?

No, it was bad. No, that was a Patreon episode. We talked about summer jams. I figured we'd revisit it because it's the summer and we're with the fucking sloppy boy. We love summer jams. We all love... This album we guys got,

this is the Summer Jams album. Exactly what it is. It's summer music. Dutton? Yeah, it is. Dutton, we agreed that it was. I want it to be autumn, is what Jeff said in the studio every day.

Sort of like Vivaldi, tackled all four seasons. Why can't the sloppy boys? Corn on the cob is a good... I know that you got your street corn, but a good corn on the cob. Corn is great. Have you had the Dodger Stadium version

of Elote? No. It's Flamin' Cheeto. Oh, that's fun. And I bought it kind of as a joke when I loved it. Yeah, I'm sure that's great. It was really good. Yeah.

I've gotten into... And we did this on a recent Patreon episode, Don't Boyz Double episode, but Michealada is just like a refreshing thing, just a delight. Yeah. But let's talk a little bit about ice cream specifically because that's this week's chain.

Where do you guys stand on... This week's chain is ice cream, eh? The topic of this week's chain is really pedantic. Hey, you didn't read a thing at the beginning. Well, I'll record that later. Oh, okay. That's why I mean it's usually just more efficient.

I love it. I love it. You're kind of thinking like a producer, Mike, and you're making sure that everything has been taken care of. This guy can't turn that off. It's amazing. Wow. Wow.

It's not efficient for me. You gotta stick around and do that stupid fucking intro. I'm gonna stick around, too. We record at your place. Hey, bitch, don't laugh while I do this intro. I say, not a problem, buddy. There aren't jokes in the intro. It's just informational.

Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Anyways, moving on. What are we talking about? Ice cream. Yeah. Sorry, we were talking about whether people really like drops of jupiter.

There's something about that. Now, boys, may I ask you... My miserable... Go ahead. Go ahead. When it comes to frozen treats, do you like the cream or do you like the ice? Oh, interesting question.

The ice is nice. The cream is a dream. What a conundrum, boy. Can we stop recording for a while? Let's pick this up tomorrow. If you guys need to think about it. This is a real question, Nick. You kind of need both, because here's the thing.

No, I know you literally need both. No, but I'm saying this. I don't find it very satisfying to have Italian ice. To me, I know some people like an Italian ice or a snow cone or something like that. I don't love it. A frozen lemonade, I can get behind a sorbet, I can get behind, but if it's just ice...

Is everything okay? He's spinning around on the ground. If it's a very hot day, I would almost rather have... An Italian ice. An Italian ice. Flavor pop over the milk and cream. Ice is more refreshing.

There are times when you don't want something dairy. That's why I would almost say that, for me, I think of ice cream as just... Ice cream needs both, but I think if you're going to pick one, it has to be ice, because I'll take a slurpee. I'll take a frozen lemonade. I'll take a frozen margarita if I want to get a little boozy.

Hello, goodnight, Nick. Hey, you know. I'm 36, guys. Anything goes. Trust me, the boozy isn't late night. It's all day now. Is this a new thing that Nick's an alcoholic? Yeah, Nick's a high-functioning alcoholic. It's impressive.

You're very high-functioning. The... The spin drift is filled with straight gin. The... Yeah, like, okay, so I'd rather have that, you wouldn't just have cream alone on a hot day in any context.

You would not have just like, hey, the classic Anchorman thing, milk was a bad choice. We know the line. We know the line from the movie, and we like it because it rings true. Truth in comedy is true. I love that. Nick, that line brought us all out here, okay?

It's a good line. We like it. I unironically like it. Yeah, me too. Yeah, we all like it. It's a college-bound pimple. Oh, boy. Mitch's film. Emma Marks is down as an edit client.

I'd say a beloved student film. Hanford, actually, someone here has seen it. I've seen it. Hanford is one of the few people who saw it. Wait, Hanford? I've said this, I think, before. Yeah, it's whatever. You and your friend Charlie dress as a pimple.

And it is out. This is like a storied student film that Mitch has done. I only hear that people have seen and it's like Metropolis where it's like there's various cuts, it's being reassembled, it's lost. Pimp is hacky

and maybe problematic, I don't know anymore. But the idea of pimp is like hacky and stupid, but I knew that. Yes, you're doing an ironic take on it. Kind of, not really. You got flak though, right?

I got flak because they were like, they were like, tell us about your student film. I was like, oh, it's like this little thing, this thing I described my movie, you know, I said all the stuff about it. And then the professor was like, well, like usually like the film should be like more serious since you made fun of it.

Usually you shouldn't do college film. And then there was also another and this is something that Tim's like to, I think Tim has tried to make a public reading of this happened, but I wrote a little screenplay called in a minute south of Boston. And I read like kind of one scene.

A full screenplay? Do you have it? It is a drama. It's kind of like a Good Will Hunting. It is kind of like a Good Will Hunting. It's about your boys in Boston, right? It's about a guy who lives in Quincy basically.

You could sell that idea if you made that a show. No fucking way. You didn't read the seven pages. Also, I had a cat named Ziff. Tim knows. That's all I remember. And then like in the script, I was like, he has a cat named Dip. Well, you couldn't get the rights to this.

You're learning structure. You had structure going. That was great. I wrote 70 pages of it in a night. That's good. And it's cologne. It's only in that one way. You would say like in the action, and he has a cat that's named Dip.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's his name. I didn't say, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Fill out these 70 pages. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you think of that, Professor? Mrs. Nones? When can we get back into it?

Are we editing all that, right? No. I don't care if you put it in. I don't give a shit. You said Emma Marcus read it. I thought you were serious. No, I was joking. If you cut it out, can we have it? Yeah, you can cut it out. You guys can take it home with you.

How do you think that makes us feel? What do you mean? This is between you two. Have we done editing? We're not going to keep it in. It's fun. That's fine with me. You were the one who said you wanted to edit it. I know that was a joke.

I'm proud of College Bomb Pimp. I know it's dumb and bad. For real though, you did lose that. My mom, I think, threw it away. Through College Bomb Pimp away? But you do have seven minutes to Boston. I have seven minutes to Boston somewhere. But you know what's crazy?

If you check College Bomb Pimp on Rotten Tomatoes, it has 100%. That's awesome, man. It's great, Mitch, because we've really seen your journey as you mature as an artist. Because as a college student, you're making College Bomb Pimp and yeah, maybe that's like a lahaki,

but look at where you are now. You're coming up with a lettuce wrap. That's gross. It only took 20 years, dude. To the fap wrap. Let's hear you do a lettuce wrap. What do you think owning me is making me do the lettuce wrap?

Making you do your idea. The lettuce wrap is getting cut from the episode. It's like 90% of the episode. I really thought I was going to drop the lettuce fap and people were going to go wild. I think we were a little confused. I was concerned for you, because you look like a mess when you do it.

Hey, everyone makes bad college films and everyone fills in a wrap every so often. Sure. Watch Eight Mile. That's the message of Eight Mile. Do you guys like... Will you do a frozen yogurt or do you stick with the ice cream

if you're going to do a dairy dessert? I usually do ice cream. We have frozen yogurt. Is that like the swirl? It's usually a soft serve. There are some parts of a soft serve. What about a sherbet? Those are dairy still though, right?

Sherbets are dairy and sorbets are non-dairy, I believe. If I'm not doing ice cream, I'm doing sherbet. I'm putting that R back in there, sherbet. Sherbet. I think it's wrong. I don't know if it's sherbet or sherbet. I think it's sherbet.

There's no R at the end of it, but I say sherbet. Sherbet. Sherbet. It's a common spelling of sherbet. It's sherbet. Sherbet is wrong. And it's sorbet, correct?

Wait, what is it? It's sherbet, not sherbet. It's sherbet. There's no R in there. There's no R at all. It's like Norbert, but with sher. Yes. But I always said Norbert.

If you said Norbert, you were wrong. That's a mispronunciation of Norbert. It's the William Webster, the scoop on Norbert. Below sherbet, there's Norbert? Man, Norbert's in addiction. The year that Norbert came out, it was so embarrassing, you were calling it Norbert. Norbert.

Who's coming with me? Mr. Hanford, you can't come back to this movie theater. After the popcorn you spilled. I don't care. Hey, Mike puts jalapeno peppers on his popcorn. Yes, I do. That's fun. And I always put way too many on it,

but I love the taste of it. Wait, do you like the... We're talking real estate. We're talking hospitalization. I just got out of a stint. Oh, boy. Are we talking like those pickled jalapenos, like the slices? How do you do it?

Okay, and you just eat some with your hand full of corn? You put them in there. That's fun. I never would have thought to do that. I like things a little spicy. Can I just tell you what the lettuce wrap was supposed to be? It was supposed to be about you. And it was supposed to be about someone holding up two heads of lettuce.

We could see you doing it. We got that because we could see you physicalizing it. Well, in the video, they'd be doing it too. Yeah, in the video, they would be doing it. And so you see that and then what the idea is is the lettuce wrap is that you were going to put you'd put your penis in a leaf of lettuce and then you would masturbate.

So it still is like a lettuce wrap. Right. Yeah, it turned into like a little lettuce wrap. But you didn't get there because you didn't have a rhyme for that part? I thought you were free. You could understand why we would be completely confused. Because the thing you described did not show up at all.

No. And now we know and we actually still don't like it. We'll take a break. We'll be back with more Dough Boys. Welcome back to Dough Boys. We're here with the sloppy boys talking about Ben and Jerry's Scoop Shop.

I just got to say, you won't do a lettuce wrap, but then you also pimped not college bound pimp, you also pimped me into doing a lettuce wrap. When did I do that? You said, let's hear it. Let's hear a lot of that. A lot of that.

Do a long rambly thing and get all worked up and apologize a lot. And look uncomfortable. Mitch, I apologize for instructing you to take up 20 minutes of our recording. All right, fine. It's better for us to take up time. Look, Dunn has a good point.

Yeah. Let's hear your point. During the break, I was going to say, we all got waters and drinks. And today, at our little ice cream stop, they did not have the sort of water dispenser to give you a little

to refresh you and kind of clear the pallet. It would have been a nice move. They were trying, I think, to push their bottled water they had for sale. But it would have been like, you don't necessarily need a full bottle of water for an ice cream scoop. You just want a little something to quench your thirst

because your mouth gets dried out from all those fats and that salt. Well, Tim was saying there's rock salt in there. Yeah, rock salt. When we hear rock, we're like thinking. Yeah. We think, like, ooh, pop rock, R&B. Right, that sort of stuff.

Salt and pepper. The word to me is all music. Rock salt. So what are you thinking right then? Now we're then. Now I'm thinking about salt and pepper. Right. And now I'm thinking about that song.

Shoop. You're so lucky you're thinking about that song because I love that song. That's a good summer jam, I think. Yeah, you can play some shoops. I got stuck, I think, in summer jams being about summer. It's literally on the nose.

It's just a fun, funky, fly feeling. The fun song to play. I'll give you a good one. TLC Waterfalls. Yeah, well, that's a little sad. A little sad on that. Why can't they be sad? Well, you don't want to be sad this summer.

I got a good one. Here comes Santa Claus. Where to start with that. Put on another pot of coffee. Hey, what about a heat miser? A good summer jam. You know what I do think about summer jams? The Will Smith song.

Here comes the Men in Black. Here comes the Men in Black. And Wild West. The wiki Wild West. You're just thinking of summer blockbusters than a Will Smith song. The songs also came out right before the movie. I got it.

The song November Rain, I think, is a summer song. Oh, yeah. And I listen to that all the time that year. I remember seeing it in Cape Cod during the summer time for the first time. Don't know when it came out. You saw the video for it? That's the song you like.

That's the song I like, and I now equate it to summer time. And that's the video, because I haven't seen it in a while, but if I remember correctly, it's a woman holds up like heads of lettuce, like boobs. I was going to say, Mitch, when you rap, you remind me of a paranoid android. So, yeah, there were some issues with this Ben and Jerry's location.

We went to the Hollywood and Highland one. We found it easy. There were some issues with it. It's a little hard to find. No, we found it easy. We found it easy because Nick texted us in a specific direction. We went in two separate vehicles. You saw Emma and I came and went in one party,

and then you guys went in. AKA the dork mobile. You saw it. No, no, it's the contents. And not the driver. The contents and not the driver. We're very cool. So us three cool dudes

were walking around and looking for this place. I had to actually, I had to look them up on Yelp and call them to find where they were in the mall because they're like, this particular location, I'm not all scoop shops, I'm sure, have this issue, but this particular location is like

you have to go towards the exit and it's located on level 1.5 along the stairwell. So you have to go down the stairs and then stumble upon it. Meanwhile, the awesome Ultima rolls in and they say, where is this place? I said, don't worry, babe.

You said it like the big bopper? Yeah, that's right. Oh, okay. And we rolled right up, we found it easy. It is a very weird spot. It's tucked away. You didn't find it easy, I told you where to go. I said exactly where to go.

It's a stair shop. It's mid-stairs. That's strange. Yeah, that was a little weird. And then this location has no seating, which a lot of ice cream shops don't have seating, but usually even a Baskin Robbins will have a couple of tables

and to Denton's point about the water, they'll have a drinking fountain, I feel like in a Baskin Robbins. Do you know what's weird? It's on the 1.5 floor. That's what I said. You bored me on it, so I thought about it. It's on floor 1.5.

It's building in being John Malkovich. Yeah. Where I think they shot where the location we went to is where they shot that movie. Oh, yeah, okay, that's right. The whole thing. Yeah, they shot at the shopping center

in Hollywood and Island, famously. I will say though, however, those negatives aside, the service we got was great. Our guy was named Cedar and Cedar took care of our entire party. Super Cedar, he said. Cedar like the tree, C-E-D-A-R.

Oh. Yeah, Cedar is an artist and a photographer. Super Cedar. And he was very, very nice and also just a great Ben and Jerry's vibe, I feel like. I was just like, oh, man, I can help you guys out. Yeah, we got all this, you know, like he was still so friendly.

For what was it, seven of us, eight of us who came in there who all wanted samples, he was great on it. I would say he was reluctant to ask him what something was and I was twice was just like, I'll just get this. He was ready with the sample.

He didn't want me to be disappointed with a roll of dice. He said that we could try any ice creams out we wanted to. He was very energetic, he was very nice. He told me that when I ordered my order, he said, this is going to look like a work of art when I'm done with it.

Remember that? He said that to me. Compared to the Mona Lisa. I'd say it goes Mona Lisa. Mitches Sunday. Those are the big two. Big Sunday. Then Sistine Chapel.

Does College Round Pimp break it all? It's up there. It's definitely breaking the top 50. Wow. Top 50 art. Your mom threw it out. She doesn't appreciate good art. That guy, he said I'm a former artist

and I said, I took issue with that. I didn't like that he was calling himself a former artist. Mitch, you encouraged him. You took him under your wing. He quit his job now. I said, look, anything can be out. Let us wrap.

A podcast. He was ghost white. So Cedar was very helpful and we all ordered. I guess we should just... We didn't do a lot of sharing here. Because of the nature of the seating arrangement, we were all kind of standing in a circle and also that we...

Ice cream is just hard to share. All the licking. All the licking, yeah. Yeah, no thank you. So... But let's just talk about what we each got. Actually, you know what, I did share mine with a couple of you. We shared. You and I shared.

Yeah, I had some Mitches Brownie and Mitch had some of my Sunday. But let's start with the... Let's start with the conventional scoop and cone arrangements that you guys got. Hanford, what did you go with? I went with a dish because I can't eat ice cream fast and I get it all over the place.

Right. I got a scoop of chocolate peanut buttery swirl. A scoop of cookie dough and I got America's Dream. Was that a Colbert? Yeah, America's Dream. Oh, that's clever. It's cute. Colbert wrote it.

So what do I say, my fork rating now? Or do I wait? Take your headphones off and leave. No, I just... How did it taste? Am I going through what I liked? Yeah. I liked Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

It's some of the fattiest ice cream you can find. Right. I've never had a chocolate... Ben and Jerry's thing before. I like their more vanilla-based stuff that has all the stuff in it. Right. The chocolatey peanut butter wasn't my favorite.

Cookie dough was good and America's Dream was good. America's Dream. America's Dream, by the way, just got brought the description up for people who haven't had it. Vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and a caramel swirl. So the other thing, too, the problem here was getting three different kinds.

They all mixed together. That's an issue, yeah. It was a major issue for me. You were miserable. Yeah, Cedar was crying and you followed him to his car after. I think that is the one issue with Ben and Jerry's is so many of their flavors

are like a sweet cream base or a vanilla base and then just like a bunch of mix-ins and they do kind of like... Unless you have it on its own, it does kind of blend together. Right, right, right. Jayman, what did you get? Well, first thing you do when you walk in there

is you get that waffle cone right up the nostrils. Right. I definitely went with a plain waffle cone. Good move. And then one of the flavors that jumped out at me was the sweet cream and cookies, which is like a sweet cream base with chocolate sandwich cookies or Oreos.

But that one was... I was furious that was out. That was actually a thing that Cedar and his co-worker, whose name we didn't catch, who was also very friendly, told us when we walked in, or someone asked what the popular or what the best flavors were,

you get tier two ice cream. The name was Elm. It was a 90-degree day today, so I think that there was a lot of ice cream and there was a lot of ice cream goers, but she said that there were a couple of flavors that just sell out every day very fast. And those were the two?

One of them, the one of the cookie ones is the ones that sell out really fast. I think that place has been open. It seems new. I think it's new. It is new. It's a new-ish place, yeah. Because there used to be a cold stone up on the third... I think that's still there. Wow.

I think they're competing with each other. Yeah, they moved in on Cold Stone's turf. Oh, good luck, third floor, tiered corner. Yeah, if you eat cold stone after all the ice cream, I just ate. I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I feel fucking awful. What was that fucking ice cream shit we did?

Ice cream invitation. Oh, we did the sweet treats last time. We did sweet treats with you guys. We did sweet treats with the sloppy boys. Yeah, we did the ice cream invitational. That was like a two-week thing and we ate a shitload of ice cream. That was awful. Fucking sucks.

We went to Baskin Robbins and then we went to Cold Stone like as a chaser. It's a nightmare. Nasty. Well, just to wrap up my thing, I did a...in lieu of the sweet cream-based sweet cream and Oreos. I tried the triple...

Nope. The salted caramel blondie was the only other sweet cream-based because I wanted to do the chocolate chip cookie dough as my other one, which is a vanilla base. And I thought that would go. You know, they invented chocolate chip cookie dough. They did. Yes, it's one of their things.

Damn. Did it taste like it, Jeff? Well, should I get into it? By the time I got down to it, I was sort of just like... My mouth feels numb and cold. Right. From all the sugar and cold that I only tasted the cookie dough

when I got a big wad of cookie dough. And then otherwise, I was just like, this just all tastes like sweet ice cream by the bottom. I finished it unlike a lot of these guys. Wow. But I didn't feel like the flavors were very distinct by the time I was wrapping up.

I think finishing it was my... By the time I got to the end, I was just like I don't know how to finish it. I found no joy in that anymore. It's so weird when you're just slugging through like the last couple of bites, each one is 800 calories, but you're still just like

trying to get it down. I didn't finish mine, but I could have finished mine easily and I got rid of it like I was Lorraine Brocco getting rid of the gun and good fellas because I knew it was just going to get me into trouble. You put it in your pants?

I put it in my pants and flushed a bunch of cocaine down the toilet. Calpacus, what was your sweet treat? Oh, well, I went with the cone three flavors. I was a little overwhelmed walking in there. I got nervous making my choices because I was just fucking

frazzled. Analysis for analysis. And then I'm a big fan. I eat pints of Ben and Jerry's a lot and I was looking forward to going to Scoop Shop I think I wanted like the Bob Marley one and I think I wanted more wacky new stuff I hadn't had

and when I didn't see those I kind of panicked. They have a surprisingly conventional array of flavors. Yeah, and I wanted more like ones named after musicians and Canadians. These were just like, Cookie. So I just...

That was named after a Cookie Johnson, Maddie Johnson's wife. And I'm a huge fan of her so I got that one. I wanted her to serve it. She is there. She hangs out in a stool though. Hey Cookie, we got one. She doesn't serve any of the other flavors? Yeah. She says magic was great. He's dunked the best.

Yeah. I think with him and Bird was always fun. Go for it. Oh, no, you go. My three Flaves that I did a waffle cone and I went top to bottom. I did the mint chocolate chip which I never had

pretty straightforward and good kind of straightforward. Middle one I did American Dream which I normally, I love that flavor but I realized it was redundant to have a waffle cone with having the waffle cone bits. That's not the same.

But like if you're at your house, it's a great treat to get those crunches of waffle cone. I'm eating a huge waffle cone, idiot. Then I got to the bottom and I was having a blast with just the classic cherry Garcia which is so good. You know, lots of times you get to the ice cream, you get to the strawberries

and it's like a weird ice cube or something but the cherries and cherry Garcia are like caramelized and like... I think they're black cherries. Yeah, and they taste like those cherries that are in an old fashion like those old... Or like a cherries jubilee or something.

I don't know how they do that and they're never hard. They're soft and that's a good flavor. You didn't eat that? It was maraschino cherries. Each cherry that they used was picked by Jerry Garcia. That's so weird because he had an intense touring schedule. Yeah, and while he used to bring them

and then Weir would pit them. Well, that makes sense because Bob Weir had tons of free time. He didn't have to learn. He just knew chords, so he didn't have to learn. And Lesh would eat them. That doesn't help at all. No.

They just started doing... Well, I gotta go back out. The thing is, he could only eat so many cherries, so really, like, they still... Even if it was two steps forward, it was only one step back. Like, they were still making progress. I hope those Grateful Deads can pick faster than they can pluck because you need

a lot of cherries for that ice cream. They're lazy, slow pluckers. No, they're fast pluckers. Oh, no, you're right. That's their big hit. We're the Grateful Deads. We're the Grateful Deads. We're the Grateful Deads.

You're thinking of Edgar Winter, which they should make. Edgar Winter Band. I was just singing just a stereotypical Grateful Dead song. It's a big breath. I'm really getting down to this. I like this a lot.

Can we, speaking of Grateful Dead, hey, Jeff, why don't you tell the guys what happened with the latest time we tried to go to the Grateful Dead? What happened with the tickets there, Jeff? What do you mean? I can't... Jeff, tell everyone what happened.

Is there a beef we're going to get? This is a mess. I smoked the tickets, dude. Classic. You want to get into it. So, I get a text one day saying, hey, Jeff, you want to go to the Grateful Dead show. Tim and I are going, Jess is going, and I said, sure.

The Hollywood Bowl, just a couple weeks ago. I'm not going to find it. So, the day comes, and I managed to get out of work and I go meet Tim's place, and we're waiting for Mike, because we'd Venmowed our money to Mike. We did that promptly.

We did that right away. Then we get a text saying, shit, I can't find the tickets. I never purchased the tickets! I never purchased the tickets! Are you mad, Mike? I got on to stuff, huh? I get my friends all together.

Get a thing set up. I go on stuff, huh? I tell them this is how much it's going to cost. I never clicked. But he accepted? I Venmowed you hundreds of dollars. Wow. And it was so funny to watch.

Oh, man. You got to read this text conversation, and Mike's just like, oh, hold on. Probably the tickets. And then over 20 minutes, he just keeps checking his inbox, and I'm like, check the StubHub website.

He's like, oh, yeah, good idea. Everybody at your place figured out pretty quickly that we're not going to go to a show. I called StubHub as I was like, where are these tickets? You call him, just be like, I don't have a confirmation number.

There's my credit card statement. There's no charge. Also, my name's Mike, and I want to go to a show. Well, here's the email I use. It's funny when you realize you don't have a leg to stand on, and you're like, you're talking to this person like, look, what I thought had happened was, and they're like, yeah, but you didn't press purchase.

They're like, they're so available for 120. I was like, well, can I get them at the price I got them at? I thought I got them at before. Hanford? Next time you can invite me instead of done, I'll remind you of this stuff. Yeah, we tried to scalps. We said we need a miracle, and we didn't get one.

Oh, no one's scalping outside the dead. Well, this sounds like, hey, can I be... I mean, honestly, this sounds like the worst night of the summer. It was not fun. I'll be honest, I didn't mind it because it's dead in company. It's John Mayer and stuff.

So, you know, part of the fun is the scene and the people watching. They're selling big old beers. How about the pizza? The best pizza I've ever had in my life. At the Hull Bowl? There was a truck called Versace, vivacious. Something like that.

But some random guy walked up to me. I was standing by the garbage, and he was on the way to the garbage. We all stand by the garbage. This is my favorite place to stand. A random guy, kind of like a 50-year-old big bro dude, was walking to throw out his pizza, and there was a slice left, and he goes,

all yours, bud. And I just took it, and I ate it. He chose me as a guy that would just eat pizza. And I ate a stranger's slice of pizza, and it was so good that then we went and bought pizzas of our own. Wow. You were like, that's pretty good, huh? And he was like, better than it had any right to be.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's a cool thing. He had some sort of quip. Then these young kids came up to us and recognized this as the sloppy boys, gave us a bunch of beers. Miller Lights. They had like a big 18-pack of beers they were trying to see.

But no one's ever bought a come up to me and been like, hey, you're wyger from the Dover. You're in bed. You were asleep 10 minutes after the show. That's true. And also, they have given you beers. I just don't give them to you. I just drink both of them.

No, like at a show or something, but not out in the wild. You're just walking around. All right, so you're out into your thing. Mitch should have made fun of me for bringing a 24-7 alcoholic, and you want people to bring them. I'm not saying specifically. Every waking moment. That's too much, Nick.

You've got to take one hour off a day. Look, Mitch, you and I both know that it's incompatible. You can't be a successful podcast host and also an alcoholic. No one has been able to make that work. Not one person you can point to who drinks heavily and has a successful podcast. Oh, man.

What did you get for your Ben and Jerry's flavor? I got a Brownie Sunday, which I've been looking all through the internet. I can't find the name of what the Brownie Sunday was. It's called the Brownie Special. The Brownie Special. And not Cedar, but the other women working there. Yes.

There were two people working there, I think, two of them. Cedar, no. What's the name again? Elm. Elm was saying... Elm said to me, she said... Elm said to me, she said, I just made those drinks. I just made those Brownies.

Yeah. They're really hot and fresh. They're really, really good. And I said, I just ordered the Brownie Sunday. And she said, oh, awesome. It's great. And so I said, yeah, don't worry about it. Anything for you, Elm? Don't worry about it. What was she possibly going to wear?

And then I said to the guy, I said, how many flavors can you get from as far as scoops go? You can get as many as you want, man. That was Cedar. That's crazy. It's fucking great. The next, Weiger went up right after you and he was like, he got the cookie thing.

And you were like, how many scoops can I get on that? And they were like, one. He was like, just one, bro. You fucking harshed his mellow. You think it was me? You think I thought... He thought it was a square and he only gave me one scoop? There's no doubt he thought you were a square. No.

You lined everyone up and put us in a row and then paid for us like a dad. That's cool. No, it's not cool. I fucking love that. He's great. What are you talking about? I hated it. With this Sunday,

their ice cream is loaded up with chunks. The whole point of the whole place. Yes, Tim. So what are you doing getting the goddamn... Can we stop over here? I get why you're so upset about this and I agree with you. I got two different ice creams.

I got... Oh, Jesus. Americone Dream, which we've talked about, which was the more vanilla-based with chunks of chocolate-covered cone in it. Right. And maybe some caramel swirls. Yes.

And then I got the Tonight Dough. Why did Jay Leno do the voice for the current Tonight Dough? They got to iron that out. That tastes good, Jay. You know when Jimmy got the Tonight Show and they did the Tonight Dough, they discontinued a better flavor

that was Jimmy Fallon's Late Night Snack. Potato chips. They should bring that back. It was really good. The Tonight Dough was... That was the one that had a lot going on with it. It was chocolate...

Here's the thing I think about as far as Sundays go. I usually like vanilla, plainer ice creams, but I almost go vanilla with the Sunday. Nick, I know I've given you trouble for liking vanilla in the past, and I'm not going back on that at all.

Vanilla is a flavor. It is a flavor, and it's good. But Americone Dream worked a little bit better because there was chocolate fudge on that, and then he said, you want chocolate or caramel? I said, how about both?

He gave me both of them. He gave me one sauce. He fucking hated you. I thought it was nice to him. Cedar and I got along great. He put on some whipped cream, and did you get any whipped cream? Yeah, I got whipped cream.

And then he put on peanuts. I got some peanuts on there, too. Yeah, the Americone Dream, the one that was a little bit more kind of just a little less going on, like Catman was saying. That one worked better, especially with the brownie, just mixing the brownie in there. But the brownie was damn good. She was right.

You had it. It was fucking warm and really, really, really good. It was great brownie. Have you had the core pints? Oh, yeah. There's a brownie one that's like boom chocolate or something, and it's like a brownie dough core. Damn.

I have not had that one. I found the core is disappointing, but that one sounds good. You didn't like the caramel one? I liked it okay. The blondie. Yeah, it's like salted caramel core and then blondie chunks in the ice cream.

I like that one a lot. Oh, that's the ice cream that I had, but core style. Yeah, the cores are all pretty intense because it's up to you to take a little nip. That sounds too much. If you eat the core straight, but you take a little nip. I always get like romanced by the idea of fish food

because it's so crazy. But I never end up like... There's too much going on. I like the chocolate chip cookie dough and I like half baked. Those are my two favorites at Ben & Jerry's. This had a lot going on,

but it was undeniably delicious. It looked amazing. I wish that the hot fudge was a little bit hotter. It kind of froze up. And the ice cream truly did. There was so much going on that I truly do just feel sick. And I think it was about 1,100 calories.

Yeah, these Sundays are for sharing, not for one. It's substantial. I got the Cookie Cookie Sunday. Do you really think those are for... I don't think that those are for sharing. I don't think they're intended for sharing, but I think if you get one, you should share it.

I think it's meant for you and your sweetie to enjoy these Sundays together. Okay, well, thanks a lot. The cats? You and your sweetie. I got the Cookie Cookie Sunday. From the name you can infer that it has two fresh baked cookies.

Oh, sorry. Did you say Cookie Cookie or Oookie Cookie? Cookie Cookie. It's an Oookie Cookie. I didn't know. I was asking for clarification. No, to be honest, you were visibly upset when you realized it wasn't. Take this back!

Cedar, can you Oookie this up for me? Excuse me, sir. We could just do like... We'll do it. No problem. Cedar's got a lot of sap, man. Cedar, you're a freak. Don't tell Elm. Why not?

You should get with her, too. She likes it, man. No, she'll never go for a guy like me. I work at an ice cream parlor. Oh, Cedar. She works at an ice cream parlor, too. Oh, what a loser. No, that's your problem.

Gratitude. There's nothing wrong with having an in-service industry job. Speaking of which, someone applied for a job while we were there. Really? Yeah. A woman went up and... It was you, song. We're going to work for a podcast. It's not working out.

That's terrible. He said that he'd work in the freezer. Just producing in there. Did you guys know this thing about their whole business? Like when it was a small business. Now they're owned by Unilever. A huge conglomerate.

Yeah, boo. And Ben and Jerry's is like... It still exists, but the finances are controlled by Unilever. But there was a time through the 80s where everyone at Ben and Jerry's like the top moneymaker, like the CEO

couldn't make more than five times what the lowest paid employee made. So the people at the scoop shops are in the factory or whatever. So if they wanted to give a raise to some fancy businessman, they had to give a raise to everybody at the bottom.

Well, that's in Burlington, Vermont, right? And that's... I think they were close enough to Bernie Sanders that it just sort of radiated from him. But then it's funny now, that guy who came in to apply for a job today,

probably their social message or any of that stuff, he just was still going for any random job. Well, I think she was maybe still a college student or something, but she handed in...

They said, we can help you real early because there were seven of us there getting ice cream. And she was like, I actually just wanted to apply for a job and she did something that I thought was really funny. She came in the resume and she was like, do you like working here? Is it like good to work here? And I was like, oh, that's an interesting question

to ask right when you're there. And the girl behind the counter, Elm, who which is maybe her real name, I don't know, was like... Her name might be Elm. Two people with tree names working behind the counter, the Hollywood and Highland.

And she said that she was... She said, it's good if you're a student. She said, I've worked here for two years, I really enjoy it. I was fucking having a ball. Yeah. So we got to ask you, Song and Emma, what they got? I didn't finish what I said.

Oh, I didn't really care what you got. Yeah, of course you didn't. Come on, Nick. Tell the people. I got a cookie sundae. I got a cookie cookie sundae. I threw, you get one flavor. I threw the chocolate chip cookie dough which is a flavor they invented,

so I wanted to have their interpretation of it. And whipped cream, and then you get one topping. I went for Oreo cookie bits. Just stayed in Cookie Town. Just too much. Just too many components. Nick, can we do that again? And you're not playing the goo goo baby character? Come on, this is ice cream.

I like that you put a cookie dough right on top of a cookie. That's like a sick pervert. I'm a freak. You're trying to scare the shit out of Cedar. Yeah, his hair turned white. That's kind of weird cookie dough in a cookie. Yeah. It's like how, didn't mad cow disease

come from feeding cows to other cows? I think so, yeah. That's how they got the prion disease or prion disease, how we pronounce it. So this is exactly like that? It's like that for cookies. In some cultures, you can't have chicken and eggs together. Right. I don't know what cultures.

American. Well, there's a kosher thing. Chicken and eggs is a band, but that's like you're not supposed to have like milk and meat together. Because, yeah. So this was a, just too many components. The whipped cream, I will say, was good.

It was like fresh made. It was out of a pastry bag. It was like real whipped cream. And the hot fudge was, I agree with you, Mitch. It should have been like a higher intensity. It should have been like hot lava going on there. And burned through a fucking dish. I know. We should have gotten some more,

a little bit more heat with that. But the ice cream, I think, on itself was good. The cookie was not nearly as good as the brownie. I think because it was not as fresh. And that's, I think, the key distinction is just like if they have something fresh, it's maybe worth getting a Sunday. But if they don't, get a fresh waffle cone.

I know this would sound crazy from the brownie guy, the guy who got the brownie, but the cookie was too sweet. It had too much chocolate in it. And a chocolate chip cookie, you don't want to be mostly chocolate. It needs that. The sparseness of the chocolate is part of the appeal of the chips. All right, Nick has stood up at the table.

I'm fired up. So we asked what you sang an Emma guy? Yeah, you sang Emma. What did you guys get? They're walking their way over to the mics. Here they come. I think we both got the same ones. Yeah, I only got the one. I got like the coconut fudge. I can't find it on their site.

The closest thing on their site. Did you get the non-dairy option? Yeah, I got the non-dairy option. I tried some non-dairy's. They were good. It was like a coconut chocolate chunk, something like that. And then there was also a caramel almond brittle, which was made with almond milk. Yeah. But I got mine in a chocolate dipped waffle cone.

And I loved every second of it. Wow, there you go. The fact that they had waffles made in the house genuinely a lot of fun. I was very enchanted by that. Also, the person who helped us, his name was Cedar,

he really superseded our expectation. Oh, sit down, Yu-Song. Yu-Song. So Yu-Song texted me that joke at Ben and Jerry's and asked me if it was good. Is this true? Yeah, I told him yes and that he should say it on the show.

Oh, he should have punched it up a bit, Wiger. Yu-Song, for God's sakes, why would you ever ask if Wiger, if the joke was good? Why don't you include me on this text, Yu-Song? Did you hear the lettuce fap? That hadn't happened yet? That was a very, two very positive reviews.

Shut up. Emma said, I liked every minute of it. I'm over here. This went into this flame and I can't believe it. I don't even want to touch it. I made me sick. I had no fun. We mixed your own flavors together and got mad at Cedar.

I had no fun with it. I gotta tell you, this might be a personality problem. I don't think you're wrong. We're older and jaded and they're young and idealistic. It's like a different perspective. You can go and just enjoy something and we're just looking for what's wrong with them.

How young are they? Five? I think they're both five. They're no older we. We're up there. Wiger is about four years older and five years older than us. No, I'm two years older than you.

You always round up. Look, I have a positive experience from this place. I like this place. I had a positive experience too. It made me sick though. It made me sick. It made me sick physically.

It didn't make me sick in terms of like I was upset about it. I was like, oh, this makes me sick. I was like, ooh, it makes me sick. It's baby goo goo. Baby goo goo. Baby goo goo tummy. Baby needs to be burped

by mommy. God, who is mommy? So I would say let's get to our final thoughts on this chain. We'll go around. We'll give it a rating from zero to five forks, but I just wanted to say that I think the issue here is that you can make

you can mess things up for yourself. You can't have a lot of ice cream parlors, but in particular here because the ingredients, in these flavors that you can really set yourself up for failure if you get the wrong combo. Mike Hanford, let's hear your review.

Let's hear your fork score. Yeah, this was not the best Ben and Jerry's outing for me. Like I said, the flavors were all mixed. I tried things that I haven't really, like I'm a big Cherry Garcia fan. I do like the

fish food. And I didn't get those because I wanted to try things out. It was the best swirl thing that I got. And, you know, it wasn't great for me. Right. So I don't want to... Sorry, Mike.

No, thanks. Thanks. Anyone else? Sorry, Mike. Thank you. I think I will give this one out of five forks. Yeah, five forks. Yeah, five forks. He's also... That's a joke.

Three. Right in the middle. Even though I love Ben and Jerry's, but this particular mix and match was not great. You can judge it on your past experiences, you fool. You can judge it on your past experiences? That's true. The first time I went to Ben and Jerry's,

I was with my family and cousins and aunts and uncles and stuff. It was a Hanford family reunion? No, other side of the family. And I'm not giving out my mom's main name. Damn it. The financial information is passed code behind that name.

We got this thing called the Vermonster. Oh, yes, and we're in the Vermonster. It's like 30 Scoops. That was a mess. I loved it at the time because I was a little boy who loved ice cream, but... You're all just jamming spoons into a big barrel? Yeah, it was huge. It was like crazy.

I think... yeah, I think it's kinda disgusting. For the first couple minutes, it's cool, and then it just becomes a... It's more like you take pictures with it and... Yeah, it's fun. The Vermonster would be a good name for a band, for monster. Yeah, it would be. Bet you it's taken. Yeah, by Ben and Jerry.

Yeah, okay. That's what I mean. Jeff Denton, you're a cool dude. Your thoughts on these cool treats. Oh, thanks. Well, you know, I gotta say it's a little disappointing that they're at Hollywood and Highland, and they're like, yeah, we run out of that every day. Yeah, right?

It's like, okay, so... It seems pretty clear. Off-seater. No, no. Seater, you're going down, buddy. You know, how... It's ice cream, so it's pretty great. Right. You know, I can't imagine having like a terrible

ice cream experience. But... So what, you give it like four or five forks? I'm gonna go with kind of a positive middle-of-the-road three out of five. Three forks. Good score for the parlor experience.

Is this instead of forks here? No, it's forks. It's spoons. Still forks. Tim, what... Tim, your thoughts. Okay, well, I'm judging also with previous experiences I just learned. Throw me into a goddamn tale script.

Email this rubric before we come here. We could have scripted this all out months ago. I sent you guys sigh. You didn't learn them. We have our pagerry on by the way. P.F. would've known. Maybe we all had a case of the location blues. Going to this one.

Cedar is great. That could be a song for us. That's a really good riff too. I've never heard that. I love Ben and Jerry's. You know, that's actually Grateful Dead Riff. I'm sure they played that millions of times. I love Ben and Jerry's.

I like, you know, typically you eat it and it's like a little vacation to Burlington. You look at the funny hippies on the pint and you look at me, you know, Ben and Jerry. They look like the dough boys. I scream like. It's hard to even get the flavor to your mouth

because you and and, you know, then you're looking at the label and you think, oh, look at these political issues and stuff and it's a whole it's a whole thing. I don't agree with it, but I'm going to eat it. Exactly. That's what I was getting at too. On election day 2020, I'm going to stop at

my freezer and get a Ben and Jerry's pint and then go to the wall. You get fucking ice cream all over that fucking ballot. You know it. Oh, oh, oh. And Trump hasn't done worse for this country. Thank you. Thank you.

They're going to put your ice cream covered ballot and it's going to it's going to spark up the election box. He's going to give it for six more years and the Chad's are all going to stick back and hang six more years. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's going to be a malfunction. Oh boy. Two years. Wait, just because of the ice cream.

The ice cream is one guy's fault. Do not bring ice cream to the polls. Yeah, folks, we should at least even if you don't like our current president, you should support the number of years of a term shouldn't be altered. OK, so but this particular location I didn't I didn't you know

it's kind of you didn't you're at Hollywood in Highland. It's a weird place to be but it's the closest one to us. So that's nice. Also, did you guys feel like it's weird? I hadn't been to a scoop shop in a long time. This day and age with the taste like I was surprised we got to taste all the flavors. That's kind of like a gelato

shop kind of a thing. Sure. And then it made me almost be like, oh, if I judge this compared to modern ice cream because I live right by Jenny's and Ample Hills and McConnell's and they're giving me little tastes of all these amazing ice creams. And when you think like, oh,

Ben and Jerry's is just that they kind of started that of like wacky flavors that you talk about and you taste. But it did make me think like, is this good? Like how much do I like the sexual ice cream and how much do I like laughing at the funny dudes on the pint? But I would say

I still like my cherry Garcia ice cream is delicious. Yeah, I'm going to give it for four forks. Wow. Good score. All right, spoon. So my first introduction is in the Cape Cod sandwich sandwich sandwich

sandwich Massachusetts. Yes. It is that the town's name is sandwich and it's a it no longer exists because you went there. Ain't no sandwich no more. That Mitchell boys. I've never seen you so excited to say a joke.

There was a place called ice cream sandwich, which is very funny. Oh, that's cute. But the first time I had chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream was in sandwich Massachusetts. It was Ben and Jerry's I never had it before. I said this is a revelation. I said I was just a boy.

I said I said that I made this proclamation to my everyone in the room and they agree and they all agree with you can talk that but boy something he likes to talk about but then I do think that the the pints they go a little overboard.

You know there's a lot of stuff in there chunky monkey a little bit sizest making fun of the monkey for being too big chunks of stuff. Yeah, I don't know if that's sizes being mean to the chunky monkey you can say something's chunky and it's not like

a like it's like a kind of a cute way to say is there a chunky hubby to or something chubby hubby hubby hubby hubby hubby hubby well there we go. Oh, so it's not there's a little bit size issues going on here but I think that's like a thing you just you like love your child like I love my chubby and they used to call it my husband the fat

fuck limp dick get on the fat fuck a lot of funny names like Tim said Vermont it's a funny place it's wacky the names aren't funny enough anymore I felt like a lot of those names

half of the flavors were just what the ingredients are. Yeah, it's true. They got rid of One Sweet World which was the Dave Matthews ice cream I was expecting more rock flavors because they there is currently like a promo flavor that's a Bob Marley one love one

that's delicious and they didn't have it No, that's a bummer Yeah, it was a bummer that a lot of these things were out today. I've told the story more than one time on Doughboys and it is a weird it is a weird story also because it involves our friend who who who passed away

because of drugs but when we took mushrooms and we went to Harris's house I was like we were watching a fish concert and I was like what happens next is like Ben and Jerry come out and then Ben and Jerry did waddle

out on stage and they sang a verse of the fish and it and it was very very and I and that and that at that moment like watching that I was like these guys are I mean like they know what they're doing they're they're very funny to I like if you look on YouTube and watch interviews with them there

great yeah that's and that's like that's some good self-awareness I like that I think that they do a lot of good they do a lot of things for the right reasons they have a lot of good causes I think that it's almost to me it's almost like Domino's pizza if you get a Domino's pizza you want some Domino's pizza you're gonna eat up the Domino's pizza

and then if you want some like classic Italian pizza you get the classic Italian but you get it you know what I mean sometimes you're in the move for Domino's sometimes I move for this sure this is like if you're in the mood for like this crazy ice cream you get the crazy ice cream you get a pint of Ben and Jerry's I don't know about going out to the store and getting scoops of it even

though I did think that the Sunday was really good there's just a lot going on I would I would do more classic flavors like maybe one one scoop of something crazy one more classic like vanilla kind of or just straight chocolate or something yes but I'm gonna go for forks right here with my man

can't man baby is I think that this place deserves for for I think that it does do what it's trying to do really well I think it's I think I think it's I think it's good it's just it's a lot and I do not feel good I feel bad I think eating you said something about the pints I think eating a pint eating it from the

pint at home tastes better for some reason yeah I being at the scoop shop yeah yeah that's all soft to all my flavors are not super cold maybe that's the 90 degree day but I think it's also too they keep it at a different temperature than your home freezer and most of these ice cream parlors like it so

it's it's it's a smoother for consumption like ready to eat and also with the with the pints I feel so much more of the of the like thing that they're trying to do of like here's the cookie dough portion half baked and here's the brownie portion and you're getting all these little different chunks and you're searching for yes yeah anyway

that's a lot of the fun is a search in each bite being different right in a pint whereas like in a corner a Sunday it's just all hell breaks and if show and if the ice cream was as cold as you keep it in your freezer then cedars one of cedars arms would look like Popeye trying to dig that

out all day and not from the we don't know how much he does or doesn't well he told me he was like I was waiting for them to go so I could tell you I'm gonna say this about cedar yeah he was

magnificent I love see he gets five and if Ben and Jerry's corporate is listening give cedar a free ice cream yeah whether or not one fifth of what you guys make yeah give it give him a give him a raise or something he deserves it whether or not the whole

the corporate messaging whether or not the the political action side of things is just posturing at this point or not it does feel like the employees they had at this particular shop did sort of like feel like oh you feel like you're part of this brand that you feel like you're the kind of people

I would expect to work at this this woke parlor I don't know if you guys are ready for a bombshell but I've never been to a Ben and Jerry's scoop shop I've only had it sorry guys sorry guys stop the record

can we do this one over now we go back we got it no sorry we're going right into it I'll certainly nail the lettuce wrap this time hey you got one in Santa Monica right we have one in Santa Monica and I've never been to it there you know like you were saying there are other

parlors and ice cream is a treat I really treasure and I feel like I'm going to go out for it I go to like a more artisan like unique parlor as opposed to like a Ben and Jerry's which I can get out of the cooler from the supermarket so I and my overall

take is and you eat that with a silver spoon don't you you're the one who accuses me of being silver spoon man you're going to all the higher end ice cream yeah I'll spend a little bit of money on a nicer bit of a nicer kind of ice cream if I'm going to have ice cream which is an occasional

indulgence you know what I spend money on the rent yeah I also spend money on the rent we both are trying to make way on Broadway live on Broadway musical

musical you fool you're suggesting that I live on Broadway this is not get that like I'm going I'm getting tickets for rent on Broadway instead of paying your landlord your rent check yes Mitch is saying that you go to Broadway and watch

rent so I have enough disposable income where I can watch rent whenever I want yes okay that's what you were saying look before the episode ends can we just all agree that the lettuce wrap and lettuce faff and college bound pimp and seven minutes all the boss are all good

things we can yeah we can all yeah we all agree okay all good agreed so I've never been to a Ben and Jerry's scoop shop before and I found it I found the whole

experience unnecessary I feel like if I'm going to have if I'm going to go to a scoop shop if I'm going to go to a parlor and and you know you guys were already saying this but like have this be the place where I can really get some crazy Ben and Jerry's flavors they already have crazy shit in stores let me go to a

Ben and Jerry's and be like it doesn't even have to be their entire inventory but give me a half dozen flavors where I'm like holy shit this is like a limited edition that you can't buy in stores or this is some crazy experimental thing that's got a whole bunch of different components I would never expect to see together and maybe it works

and maybe it doesn't but it's just like this is something bold and daring and feels like it captures the adventurous spirit of this brand like I love to love to experience some of that and I didn't really get that from this experience the customer service was great and what the hell do you want what do you want

what do you want give me some cool different unexpected flavors you want some escapism you want to be whisked away give me a fucking weird ass flavor you see there was an asshole let's be honest you trying to put Cedar out in the street no the shop's fine

like have it be there I'm not trying to get I want this guy to be unemployed but what besides crazy there weren't enough crazy flavors there were enough crazy flavors I think that the the ice cream works best on its own I don't think it works better I don't think it works having two different flavors playing off against

each other and I don't think it works in a Sunday sort of form as well I think it's better just like an isolated scoop whether that's in a cone or in a cup and I feel like I get a better Ben and Jerry's experience based on this one visit from the pint version so I would say this is a straight down

the middle ice cream parlor I'm going to give this three forks for Ben and Jerry's scoop shop Tim and I the two laid back hippie guys gave it 4-4 speaking of crazy flavor was there a lemonade flavor was that one of the I think that was one of the non-dairy

ones there was a brand new one called pucker upper yeah it was a like a kind of a lemon raspberry kind of thing like a sherbert sherbet oh there's another brand new one was like the dough thing like Cinnado oh yeah did anyone get that

I contemplated getting it it was like another sort of cookie dough but with sort of a baker doodle sort of it was fucking extreme they got too much dough all over the flavors what do you think half baked and then there's tonight dough and they use the dough as the pun on two or three yeah yeah that great

overly reliant on peanut butter too I feel like peanut butter is in every other fucking flavor a lot of PB I mean I'm a PB freak but I will they do overuse it that and I wish more than anything that I got in one of those lemonade flavors I feel so much better

with your Sunday I'd see it would be like you can't do that it wouldn't make you as sick but don't you think it's kind of where I have a thing with like fruit flavored treats like that yeah fruits delicious give me a raspberry it's already great so if you make raspberry sorbet

and it's going to be a thousand calories because you added sugar right it's a waste you know it's interesting I one time because I like vanilla ice cream like you Nick I one time got a pint of Ben & Jerry's vanilla being like oh this is going to be real great because it's Ben & Jerry's it wasn't that great

yeah they don't like up their game for just vanilla I think they're standard flavors you're better off like among the big brands I think if you're going to do like a standard ice cream I honestly think Haagen-Daz does a better like just just regular ass vanilla or regular ass the basic ice cream they don't want to hear that that is their

direct competitor yeah who got the mint chocolate chip how was that it was good it was it was like kind of mellow that and I enjoyed that that's good to hear it was and it wasn't green like a mint chip right yeah that's good to hear I like a non-green mint chip it's fun

well hey that you saw Emma four gradings from YouTube what do you think five four wow she had the best time yeah she had a great time four forks from you son okay so wow we even oak to three and a half bases from New Hampshire our staff are very

our staff are very enthusiastic about this chain um I think they were happy to get out of my house yeah I mean you should let them leave between episodes are you guys at least paying them one-fifth of what you guys are making you guys both just pissed on the floor

is that some sort of rule it's ice cream it was Ben and Jerry's in the eighties oh no they're full of shit you song you song Emma don't listen to those those two you know cedar was an artist right

there was an artist he did he stopped uh he said he said he said he's like more focused on cinematography nice yeah well another Ben and Jerry's related artist Woody Jackson he created the logo you know the cows and stuff cool my brother lives in Massachusetts met him

value feedback let's open the feedback and hey we have a voicemail today in our audio feedback hi my name is Seth I have I have a I used to love Italian feed and now I have an issue where I can no longer enjoy cheese why enjoy it

but I can't digest it so that really changed the type of food that I that I like now I think more like a Japanese food is my favorite food I'm wondering if you took cheese out of the equation and what is your favorite ethnic food thanks love the show

ah oh boy extra cheese why didn't you just say I'm lactose intolerant why do you beat around the bush like that well you don't know what it is Jeff why did you why did you call up the the boys hotline why don't you just ask us this question

personally I love cheese that wasn't that guy's name Jeff I think it was Jeffer kind of might have been Seth I thought it was Ramondo yeah it was favorite man favorite non cheese food I think you know he pointed to Japanese nailed it I think I think that's a good one I mean

because because you know a lot of a lot of Asian cuisines cheese is not that yeah yes said I said I think you can take it out of the equation you can still remove this from the equation it still is and it might be one one of my favorites you can even take

Feta away and meta-training would still be my favorite meta-training is a good pick but Feta makes a better Feta does make it better is there wait is there any dairy in the base of any of those popular like you got like a isn't there like a yogurt ziki or some of the sauces you gotta you're kind of limited in yeah but

the hummus isn't there's no there's no there's no cheese yeah that's just hummus doesn't make it the best cuisine but hold on a second sushi is all dairy off limited we're talking cheese he's saying cheese specifically alright so no cheese yeah I'm going I'm going meta-training I guess if you're just saying cheese and not

saying not eliminating all dairy that might be a little bit more of a a fair fight there yeah I mean I mean this better count as cheese yes does what count as cheese Feta I thought I was going to sneak one by does a Monterey Jack you know

you know I love Indian food that's one of my favorite kinds of food there is a good amount of cheese in it and certainly a large amount of dairy especially a vegetarian Indian food but I think you could do it without the some of the paneer on the paneer yeah you get I think if you avoid that

there's good stuff with paneer but I think if you I think you can avoid that and still have a satisfying meal there however I still think it might be tough to top the just all the great dishes you can have if you're having Japanese or Chinese food or Vietnamese food or Korean food

there's just so many great so many great types of Southeast Asian foods that I think are hard to top there and Mexican food really really takes a lot of a lot of cheese there I was going to say Indian there's a lot of cheese in it depends on the dish yeah oh okay but like

the tikka masala yeah a lot of those there's no cheese in Chinese food which made with clarified butter no Chinese food actually and there was an article about from a from a couple years ago where they had they took cheese to some very like

highly regarded Chinese chefs who just were not familiar with it and got them to like sort of like hey here's some cheese here's what you know because it's just not a gradient over there I think Chinese food would maybe be my Chinese food is a good good pick yeah it's funny that the cheese that has made its way in to these

is cream cheese right yeah cream cheese is a bizarre Chinese food thing but that's like eastern Chinese it's like the the Americanized yeah like crab and goon and I would also yeah I would also guess that's probably and and and I'm just guessing here at some food

journalist or food historian would know better but I would like a lot of those processed products would make it overseas and so that would be more likely to be incorporated like something that from from the US that would travel like cream cheese that would be more likely to be incorporated into a dish I got one

that's not specifically like an ethnic food I guess but by the way this is a like I'm hearing like this is a thing that's come out recently some people are saying ethnic food is maybe a problematic thing to say I just repeated what he said I know you repeated what he said but yeah I wasn't saying

like this was an interesting thing I heard thanks Nick I'm not accusing you of anything no I agree with you I don't I don't want to get it wrong yeah international food yeah different types of food I'm saying foreign food is what you foreign food this doesn't fall into that category

but seafood maybe because you know there's not a lot of cheese and seafood you're like I don't get a lobster roll with some cheese that's kind of a no-no like shrimp and and you're not supposed to have shellfish with cheese yeah you got that clam pizza out in New Haven don't you that is true
