Starting point is 00:00:58 Double! Double! Double! Double! Double! Double! Double! Double! Double! Double! Double! I want to promote the Sound of Freedom. I finally get to promote a project near and dear to my heart, the Sound of Freedom. Yeah. Yeah, you've had to be kind of tight-lipped about that for a while.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Yeah. I know I'm not in it, but I want people to go out and check it out. Buy movie tickets for it, even if you're not going. But out and check it out. Buy movie tickets for it, even if you're not going. But yeah, check it out. Right, just sort of if you want to just buy every ticket for like a 2 PM showing on a Wednesday, that really helps, like just the box office numbers. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm thrilled I get to finally talk about it.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Yeah, say the line, Mitch. That sounds like, oh, damn it. Never trust a pedophile. Is that really in the movie? Yeah, that's the big, like, you're terminated fucker. That rocks. I had to look up Sound and Freedom Mitch, and I know now that you're joking.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I did a quick Wikipedia search. I'm not joking. I think you should check it out. I think you'll like it. But hey, happy end of the strike to all of us. And I hope that all other unions, great that I can't remember the other union. That's... I think there's been some, you know, like a very... IOTC. Yeah, I want to say... Oh, you're talking about the other entertainment unions. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:29 No, I just want to say that we were... Wonderful resolution there. ...support IOTC when they come up in a couple months. Yeah, IOTC and the Teamsters next year. We'll be right there with them. Oh, yeah. God bless. Mitch, do you feel, I don't know, guilty or bad at all for not picketing one moment.
Starting point is 00:02:53 You know that I was cramping up for most of the scry. The sun's too bright out here. Now I saw the I saw the one Instagram pic of you. Did I put up an Instagram pic with who? With Claudia at Netflix? Is that the one? Uh, you know, I don't really, I don't really catalog all your Instagram posts, but yes, I believe that's right.
Starting point is 00:03:12 I went quite a few times, not as much as this guy over here. He was there. Everyone was doing what they can. I picketed with Hanford in New York. Yeah, she caught me on the one, the one time I went. I was like, what's going on out here? I'm returning something from Radio Shack. They all seem to be closed.
Starting point is 00:03:33 These batteries don't work anymore. You know, we have a longstanding tradition here at the Dillboy's. What were you going to say? Strike is over. Mash is on. That's the mash off. That's right. What a segue into Doughboys. Well, what are we going to say? Strike is over. Mash is on. That's the mash-off. That's right. What a segue into this.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Oh, that's what you're going to say. This is the long-standing tradition. Yeah, the long-standing tradition on the podcast. But I think what you said worked as well. And you know what? We're kind of going to mash up these ideas in a synergistic way because this is the mash-off. And every time we do the mash-off, we like to bring back our friends, Eva Anderson and Mike Hanford. Thank you both for being here.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Thanks, guys. Thank you for having me again. When did this old tradition start? This one, actually, you know, it's funny you ask because our buddy, the Drop King, compiled some stats. I didn't ask him to do this. Ooh. But our first mash-off happened in 2017.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Wow. So it's been going for a while. And that was Mount Thanksgiving more, where we all tried to put together a Thanksgiving dinner. It's kind of wild that it was that elaborate from the get-go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then as we were going, we started
Starting point is 00:04:36 to put together more dishes and have things to be a little bit more focused and a little bit more gimmicky. For instance, in 2021, we all did Thanksgiving sides where I prepared cranberry sauce, Mitch did mashed potatoes, Hanford did stuffing and even did roasted Brussels sprouts. Was it canned? Did you do canned cranberry sauce? Or you made a cranberry sauce?
Starting point is 00:04:57 No, I made a cranberry sauce. All right, that's pretty good. Man, I don't have a memory of any of that. I don't remember none of this. I don't remember making roasted Brussels sprouts at all. A few of none of this. I don't remember making Brussels sprouts at all. A few of these were pandemic years, so that is probably part of the reason. Oh, that could be it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:10 I made stuffing one year, but that's the only thing I remember. I remember the dessert one. I can't remember what I'm, no, I made like some cinnamon swirl type thing. I made a cranberry, like a tart that year when we did desserts. Every time I've done this, I have had help from Mommy,
Starting point is 00:05:28 my Mommy, whether it's just input, but this year, she's here, she's in studio. Hey! She's sitting right over here, she's watching. Hi Mrs. Mitchell. Not laughing. Also, instrumental in drilling down the answer to an ongoing debate here, which we are going
Starting point is 00:05:45 to, you know, kind of conclude with today's mash-off. Is Christmas a cookie holiday? Came on to our show and definitively just declared, banged your gavel and said, yes, Christmas is a cookie holiday. She watches Judge Judy, so that makes sense. Big Judge Judy fan. Who was saying it wasn't a, Who was saying it wasn't a, what do you mean by cookie holiday?
Starting point is 00:06:07 Cookies are associated with it? Well, this is, I mean, what's your take? When you hear the question, is Christmas a cookie holiday? What does your gut tell you? Yeah, I say yes, it is. Christmas cookie. You say yes, it is. Because of Christmas cookies, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:18 What got us into some hot water on the podcast is this topic got brought up. Did she make that decision a year ago? No, it was the, I mean, it was close to a year ago, but it was at our live finale of Munch Madness this past year. Okay. It was the current year, 2023.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Jesus. You all right? Yeah, I'm fine. I mean, no, I'm not, but you know, it's fine. The question came up on the podcast and Mitch and I both hemmed and hawed and sort of landed like, I guess it's a Christmas holiday. Or I guess Christmas is a cookie holiday rather.
Starting point is 00:06:49 That's what I'm trying to say. I guess Christmas is a cookie holiday. And then- People got really mad. People got really upset at us. And then, so we tried to like come to some clarity, a consensus answer. And I think we ultimately landed on Christmas cookie holiday.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I mean, I assume you think Christmas is a cookie holiday. I think it is. Yeah. Well, this is crazy to me. Were people mad at you? Hold on. You two said it was not. We said it wasn't, basically.
Starting point is 00:07:12 We were kind of like, we're not sure if it is or not. I mean, in my mind, I think it was like Santa eats cookies, but does that necessarily mean it's like a big cookie holiday? I don't know. Well, is the argument like there's other bigger cookie holidays? Well, that's why we landed on Christmas is a cookie holiday, I don't know. Well, what, is the argument like there's other bigger cookie holidays? Well, that's why we landed on Christmas is a cookie
Starting point is 00:07:28 holiday kind of like, it was like a soft yes for us. Like, yeah, I guess Christmas is a cookie holiday because we couldn't find a better- Gingerbread house. Cookie exchanges. Yeah. I never really was engaged in a cookie exchange. I never had that, but I have encountered gingerbread house,
Starting point is 00:07:42 but I also don't think of a gingerbread house as a cookie. But my grandma also always baked cookies for Christmas and I do know that the concept of Christmas cookie exists It's a cookie holiday, it's fine. All right, my grandma just rolling just trolling. We're not trolling hand man I mean, we're not doing well. I don't how about this? How about this for a take? I don't really think of Valentine's Day as a Cupid holiday Rolling is there's more I see more cupids on St. Patrick's Day Yes, they're wearing green and yes, they're watching their gold those are leprechauns. That's not a Cupid You're confusing the two. That's a...
Starting point is 00:08:26 You're confusing the two. Hanford should mention is being a prince for us today. It is in New York City doing this remotely. And also a little under the weather. Hope you're feeling better, buddy. I'm doing great. You're going to hear some sniffling. I might leave the frame to cough. Don't worry about me. I'm getting over it.
Starting point is 00:08:42 It's breaking up. My chest cold is breaking up. Okay. I messaged Drop it. It's breaking up. My chest cold is breaking up. Okay, I message Drop King because I read those dishes and then I didn't have a memory of them. Thanks for your concern, Nick. No, I'm what, no, I'm glad you're saying that. That's what I'm saying. You brought it up, the other two are just stone-faced.
Starting point is 00:08:57 I don't know, I mean, I'm sad that you're feeling sick. I'm happy that you're feeling, starting to feel better. I said before it was the Fallon flu. I don't want to get everyone sick at Fallon. That's the, that's my main concern. That's why I stayed away. Were you out of work all week? No, just two days.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Uh, but last week, a bunch of people had the same thing and I knew it was time. You, you, you, you know that, you know that, uh, when we were, we did birthday boys together, I would often blame you for getting sick. I think you remember this. This is a, this is a Mitch thing. You always want to drill down the patient zero who got you sick. Now it's a Mitch thing.
Starting point is 00:09:30 No, this happened. Well, yeah, it's always you and Hanford. That's the issue. You and Hanford are the two doing it. Me? You think it's me? No, you're actually not sick, almost alarmingly, ever sick. OK.
Starting point is 00:09:41 We were, and then Hanford and I were both sick for, remember we were sick for like seven months? We had a cough, like a year long cough. Yeah. That's rough. We probably should have gone to a doctor, I feel like at that point. I think, yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Looking back on that now, I think. I feel like most health books say seven months with a cough is the time to go. Okay, so I went back to Dropking because he said, like, this is his message. Also some stats from the previous mash-ups, just in case you were curious or thought it was worth referencing or revisiting. I thought what he was sending was the dishes we made.
Starting point is 00:10:12 But no, these were just things that we talked about on the episode. Okay, good. So, for instance, canned cranberry sauce, mashed potato stuffing, roasted Brussels sprouts. We didn't actually prepare those during mash-up for the Dream Master. That was just what came up when we asked what our favorite Thanksgiving sides were. I thought I was going crazy. cranberry sauce, mashed potato stuffing, roasted Brussels sprouts. We didn't actually prepare those during mash-off for the Dream Master.
Starting point is 00:10:25 That was just what came up when we asked what our favorite Thanksgiving sides were. I thought I was going crazy. Yeah, I also was like a little, cause I was like, I did not make both a pecan pie and a pumpkin pie. So I'm not quite sure why that's under the stat. Why was four the Dream Masters
Starting point is 00:10:38 when three is the Dream Masters in Freddy? The three is the Dream Warriors. Oh my God, and four is the Dream Master. Yeah. Man, that's embarrassing. My Freddy knowledge, yeah, that sucks. Sorry, mama, this is embarrassing to do this in front of my mom. The first Freddy movie came out today in 84, was it? Whoa, really?
Starting point is 00:10:57 After Halloween? Yeah, after Halloween. That's wild. How did you know that? As of this record. It was on a, at work we have like a little sheet, like a fun sheet of like what's on the show, what's fun things, picture of the day and stuff. I love that's that's what from what I love, what I, you know, when I used to work on, on, on
Starting point is 00:11:17 talk shows, variety shows, I loved getting that research packet. The researchers would go in, they do so much work and they'd put together a bunch of just like, and so yeah, you'd always find out fun facts. Like they'd say, oh, today it's, you know, it's National Fork Day. Like it's got like some, there's some weird holiday that's going on, or like, oh, this is John Wayne's birthday. How about that?
Starting point is 00:11:35 I don't know. John Wayne Gacy? I was reading the sheet today, and I was looking through, I was like, oh, cool. That's a fun fact about Freddie. And I was like, oh cool, that's a fun fact about Freddie. And I was like, today is Mike Hanford's last day. What the fuck is this?
Starting point is 00:11:54 Lazy and obtuse were two words that jumped out at me. I like that you're like, I loved that packet breakdown. And then after work people are like, Nick, you want to come for a drink? You're like, no, I'm okay. I'm gonna go home. I got the packet. I'm gonna read the packet on the bus. Okay, so our last mash off was mash off five.
Starting point is 00:12:15 That was the revenge of Michael Mashter. So now I'm looking at the Dough Boys Wiki. That was when we went back to the mash. We returned to the mash and we each had a secret. That's what I was thinking to the mash. And we each had a secret. That's what I was thinking, Hanford. And we each had a secret ingredient we drafted. Now I'm remembering all this. And Emma participated.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Emma drafted vegan, made a vegan mashed potato. That actually came out good. Yeah, it was good. It actually was pretty good, there we go. Boiling the potatoes in veggie broth was a huge, huge part of it. And what was it, what were the other? Before that, it was pot, we all made pies.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Oh, right. Yeah, we did make pies one year. Oh yeah, that was, yeah, I liked that one. I made a blueberry pie. Pie eating, I feel like I did well with the pie eating. I had never tried it before. I tried something new today as well. 2020, we made sides.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Right. Or we made different things like, 2020, I think, Weiger, that's when you made the turkey breast. That's correct, yes, that's right. An insane choice, just a lot of work. I made stuffing. People, you guys made other stuff. Mitch, you made classic pecan pie bars.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Mrs. Mitchell made a pecan pie martini. That's right. Oh yeah. I was home at that point, I think. Yeah, Hanford made pumpkin swirl bread and even made, yeah, sage and sausage stuffing. The point is, we've made a lot of dishes here on the mash-off over the years.
Starting point is 00:13:31 We've hit on a lot of different categories. We've maybe explored. Can I be honest with you? Yeah. Eva's is always pretty good. Eva's is always good. Eva's is always, Eva's usually the winner. But Eva's-
Starting point is 00:13:41 She's an award winner. She is an award-winning baker. You won a blue ribbon, did you not? I did. That's pretty good. I don't think this is gonna win a blue ribbon today, but, you know, if there's a blue ribbon here in the studio, you could give it to me.
Starting point is 00:13:54 What the hell's going on over there? I know. Did you have his blue ribbon? No, I didn't. That's what I thought he was gonna get out. I didn't know what he was doing. No, I wasn't doing a blue ribbon bit. I'm very self-conscious about my shirts.
Starting point is 00:14:07 The dog is very sleepy. It's very cute. Casey says it looks fine. I can stop futzing. The dog, Jemmy looks cute. You're adjusting. You're gonna show your mid-drift. I know, I'm gonna expose my gut by accident
Starting point is 00:14:18 when I'm trying to adjust my shirt. I gotta stop futzing with it. I love that shirt. Good shirt. Good shirt from our buddies at Kinship Goods. Really good. Here's a tip for ya. That's good shirt. Good shirt is from our buddies at Kinship Goods. Really good. Here's a tip for you. Increase your shirt size. Yeah, go up a size.
Starting point is 00:14:33 What, 4XL would be good for you? All right, all right, all right. Let me ask you this. So, so we've kind of thoroughly explored Thanksgiving, which is partly why we're going to Christmas cookies this year for this mash-off. But I want to ask, and I know we could- Are we going to Christmas cookies
Starting point is 00:14:52 or is this Thanksgiving cookies? It's supposed to be Christmas cookies. Oh, it's supposed to be Christmas. Well, luckily I made something that works for both. Yeah, it's fine. Whatever you made is fine. It's gonna be fine. Okay. But I wanted to ask, like, it's keeping in the dessert realm,
Starting point is 00:15:08 keeping in the term of, in the area of sweet treats. What sweet treats do you like to have around the holidays? Handman, let's start with you. Ooh, around the holidays. I like when somebody brings, like, a good cookie in somewhere. I don't make cookies very well. Hopefully today's different. But yeah, I do like the cookie. Kind of the classic, the star with like the sort of the, the frosting on
Starting point is 00:15:30 that's hard. You know what I mean? It's like a white shortbread cookie. You like the hard frosting is your answer? No, I, how do I describe it? It's like shiny kind of, you know, I'm talking about. Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. Me, I like a nice Christmas slurpee. Yeah. Me, I like a nice Christmas Slurpee. Mitch. Mint Slurpee? Oh, yeah, minty Slurpee, peppermint stick Slurpee.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Mitch, you just reminded me, I didn't have my summer Slurpee this summer. I always have at least one. Oh, no. I missed it. It's a bummer. What's your flavor? I like the cherry. Oh, cherry's good.
Starting point is 00:15:58 I like it a cherry. I had a point in my life where I was having a Coke Slurpee every day. This is thick water. It's got a fly in it. It's got a fly in it. It's got a fly in it. It's got a fly in it. It's got a fly in it. It's got a fly in it. It's got a fly in it. cherry's good. I like it a cherry. I had a point in my life where I was having a Coke Slurpee every day.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Ooh. And then I- This is thick water. It got a fly next to it. Yeah. It was my thicker era. Not that I'm a slender man these days, but I was like, you know, I was really having-
Starting point is 00:16:19 Not be slender man, just to be clear. I was having, and then we looked it up and it was like, oh my God, this is like 600 calories of sugar. Like I'm just having like consistently. You were also eating, didn't you eat snicker bars at this point too? It was your-
Starting point is 00:16:34 This was a little earlier than that. Well, yeah, when I worked in the video game industry. Mountain Dew and a Snickers bar. My general breakfast, I'd get something from the office break room and I would like, cause I'd get in late and I I'd just grab whatever I had, and it was usually a Snickers bar, a black coffee, and a Mountain Dew Code Red.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Oh my god. Dear god. Horrible. My mom just- But you can eat like that when you're like 22. Oh yeah. My mom had a visual reaction to that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I think she was nervous maybe. I don't know what it was. That does make my teeth tingle, hearing about a, phew. I did that in college. I would go to a snack machine and get a Snickers and a Coke. It's the same thing. Yeah. Like every day.
Starting point is 00:17:11 It's crazy. I'm not a, well, my mom's here and she might scoff at this. I'm not a huge sweets person. I got a teeth tingler today. I didn't see a scoff. I saw a mild eye roll, but not a scoff. I think that I like sweets when they're liquid. I like colas.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I don't like, I don't, I don't eat like a ton of candy. Do I? Gummy bears are like, right? Yeah. You're asking your mom if you like gummy bears? We both like desserts. My mom and I like desserts. We like chocolate desserts. But besides that, I'm not a big sweets person.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I don't care about, like in the holidays, I don't really care about the sweet. I'm more savory. I'm more excited about some sort of dinner dish instead. More meats than sweets. Yeah, more meats than sweets. Meats and sweets. Yeah, meats and sweets. Mitch, you and I are both beardos.
Starting point is 00:18:09 It's true. And the thing about having a beard is you gotta maintain this bad boy. You really do, Wigz. And it's not always the easiest thing if you don't have the right tools. That's right, Wigz. Whether you're going smooth shaving

The thing you do with my mom.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Right. Michael, the internet isn't working. Yeah. Yeah, ma, you didn't pay the bill for the internet. Right. Usually that's what it is. So it seems weird for me to get my mom a tech-adjacent gift, but guess what?
Starting point is 00:20:26 Aura's digital frame is actually perfect. That's because, yes, it's tech, but it's so easy. That's right. And Mitch, you know, the thing about the Aura frames, which we both have and we both have shared with our families, it helps you interact with your family and friends more. My parents are out there on vacation. I can see what they're up to.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I get up to some mischief. I can send them a pic and they can see it that way. What type of mischief are you talking about? Don't worry about it. Someday early in January, load some pictures up on the horror frame and send to your family. Seriously, it's so easy to get started, but then once you do, the tech is incredible. I can upload photos right from my phone in just a click. It'll even pair photos together for me, like two pictures of the same person or from the
Starting point is 00:21:12 same day. There's no memory cards or USBs required. There's a reason Wirecutter named it the number one best digital photo frame. Again, if you're dealing with someone who's not particularly tech savvy, they don't have to worry about any extra devices. They can use their existing devices. It's true, and you can pre-upload photos-wise. Right.

Eva, favorite holiday sort of sweet treat?
Starting point is 00:21:54 I like pie. Oh, yeah. Last year, I did, like, a fruitcake that took three months to make. Whoa. Because you have to bake it in October, and then you have to keep it in a whoa. Because you have to bake it in October and then you have to keep it in a closet
Starting point is 00:22:06 and you have to feed it brandy every week until Christmas. That's wild. And then you frost it and you seal it in. And the recipe actually makes two fruitcakes. So one of them, then you keep it in the closet and it definitely, in the dark, you can just pull it back out in a year or longer and you can eat the second one. It has to be in a closet? It has to be in the dark and it can just pull it back out in a year or longer, and you can eat the second one.
Starting point is 00:22:26 It has to be in a closet? It has to be in the dark, and it has to be sealed. But it's sealed in this, like, hard frosting, so nothing should be actually protected. But it's so heavy from all this stuff in it that it's actually like a 15-pound dessert, like a 20-pound dessert. Didn't you say you were gonna do that last year?
Starting point is 00:22:43 It's unbelievably dense. It's just like dried fruit and nuts and just like all this frosting and all this like alcohol. Dang. Did you mean, did you mean I was gonna hide in a closet and douse myself with booze? That's what I was saying. Five months? I mean.
Starting point is 00:22:57 While you're like, I'm gonna go to your closet for like three months, can you just feed me brandy and I'm like, sure. Just hand it through the door. How did me brandy? I was like, sure. Just handed through the door. How did it come out? It was actually really good. Cause fruitcake is like, I own, it's like, and for a while it was like with Brussels sprouts,
Starting point is 00:23:13 now Brussels sprouts have obviously made a comeback, but like it was like paired as like, like, like, oh, fruitcake, that's the bad holiday gift. Oh, I got a fruitcake from my mother-in-law. I was like a bad 90s puncher. And Irma's fruitcake. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Now this was legitimately good, but it was also like weird and dense. It was like a collapsed star.
Starting point is 00:23:34 I gotta say this. I would love to try that brandy fruitcake. Your food is always good. Here's the thing. I'm always happy to try it. Hanford, we haven't been able to eat your food for the last few years. Every year you watch me go, this is really good. I think I ought to win. What was your last in-person matchup, 2019? Or were you gone at that point? 2018.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I would have been gone probably 18. Wow. You only had two years of Hanford in-person. Have you lived in New York for like five years? Yeah, since 2019. October 2019. That's so wild. So we missed you for that matchup. I've got two years of Hanford in person. Have you lived in New York for like five years? Yeah, since 2019. October 2019. So we missed you for that mash off.
Starting point is 00:24:10 You were over Zoom. Yeah, I was already here. Oh, man. Crazy. Well, you got to come back for the mash off next year. I think it's important. Next year, you know, the Doughboy's numbers will be up a little more.
Starting point is 00:24:20 We can maybe get a flight for me out there. Yeah, we'll see. Quick thing, we just do it at LAX. I get off and then get back on. Hop into the Delta Sky Club, bring a Zoom recorder. We've done it before. Have you adjusted to life in New York City where you're just like, this is my home now? Do you feel like that's where you want to be?
Starting point is 00:24:40 Yeah, I guess I'm pretty, I've acclimated to New York pretty good You said that you're good friends with the critic now, right? Yeah, I'm always going by his house and saying buy my book Yeah, I'm pretty acclimated but but the boy oh boy this city Nick, yeah the the stories that it has I mean I'm I mean, I'm just, I'm an inch into the ocean of stories in this place. It's a magical place. Wow.
Starting point is 00:25:12 It's true what they say. I'm serious. He's trolling us again. It's true what they say. Hanford's a dick. Well, we miss you. We miss you for that. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:25:20 I miss you too. It's always good to miss you. We miss you for that. Thank you. I miss you, too. It's always good to see you. So as I mentioned, this is the sixth annual mash off. And because this is the third Thursday of the month, that's how the calendar worked out. I'm sorry, the third Tuesday of the month. That's how the calendar worked out. This is our Doe Score Doecision.
Starting point is 00:25:38 And so we let you, the Doe Score users, pick what we mashed off this year. And Shifty sent in the pitch of Christmas cookies, which is where we're at. Which almost seemed like a bit. Shifty! And then we did choose it. Yeah. Dropking wrote out like a detailed, like three page idea.
Starting point is 00:25:56 And then there was one idea that was just Christmas cookies. And we chose Christmas cookies. Sorry, Dropking. But Dropking did provide some other context for this, which is that he has some pitches for the title. He titles the mash-off each year. So I'm going to read all these, and we can settle this live on the show.
Starting point is 00:26:17 All right, here we go. These are all named after the sixth entry in a franchise. Got it. Mash-off six, the undiscovered cookie. This is after Star Trek. It's pretty good. Yeah. MASH-OFF 6, Cookie Under Siege.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Okay. That's a police academy. Pretty good. MASH-OFF 6, Revenge of the Spritz. The Star Wars reference in Spritz is a popular Christmas cookie. I'm not familiar with Spritz. Got it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:43 I think of Spritz as more of a drink, right? Yeah, it's more about the shape. It's like a little, like a kind of, like a little meringue. Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about. Isn't a Spritz Hanford, you could, a sloppy boy, you can answer. Like an Aperol Spritz.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Isn't a Spritz, that's what I think of, yeah. Yeah, Spritz is a type of drink, I've always thought of it that way, yeah. Mash Off Six, all right, so we won't do that one. That one's not gonna win. Mash Off Six, The Chomp It, Battle of the Five Cookies. This is a Hobbit reference. I kinda like this one the most so far.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Yeah, it's pretty fun. Hobbit and the Chomp It is fun. There is only four cookies, right? Well, that's the thing, it says, he said, and assuming there's a fifth person participating, which is not the case. No. So, let's maybe strike against it.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Okay. Hey, did that dog bring any cookies in? The dog is the cookie. I had a dollar for every time I heard you say that. Hey, that dog got cookies on it. All right, problematic property here, but this is a pretty good pun. MASH-OFF 6, Mary Chomper and the Half-Fudge Binge.
Starting point is 00:27:44 It's a Harry Potter reference. Oh, Harry Chomper and the half fudge binge. It's a Harry Potter reference. Oh, Harry Chomper. Half fudge binge. Yeah. Why is it Mary? Cause of Christmas. Oh. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Okay. Mary Chomper to the Harry Potter. Okay, yeah, no, that one's lost too. What's the next one? And then there's also mash off six, cookie of the year and mash off six, I did it all for the cookie. I like mash off six, the chomp at the battle of the five and Mash Off Six I Did It All for the Cookie.
Starting point is 00:28:05 I like Mash Off Six The Chomp It, The Battle of the Five Cookies. I like that too. Yeah, because there's only four. Yeah, I think that's fun. I think we do that one, yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's the winner. All right, great. That'll be the canonical title of this episode. Good.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Thanks, guys. Thanks for helping us figure that out there. It's an important part of the episode. You're welcome. Thank you. Yeah. I... out there. It's an important part of the episode. You're welcome. Thank you. We need to eat my cookie first. I just have to say it. Yeah, let's start there. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Can we just start there? And people are, a lot of people are just listening to this, so we'll need a description of what you made exactly. But my first thing I was gonna say, not a criticism, to me this is what you've prepared does not look like a cookie. Okay, Nick, I'll say that right in front of me and my mother. No, I'm just like, I'm saying...
Starting point is 00:28:49 You spent hours doing it. It looks like, it looks, I'm sure it's tasty. I'm excited to eat it, but just like, to me, this looks like a bowl of stuff as opposed to a cookie. Oh, does it? So I just like some context for what we're gonna have here. Yeah, well, you didn't even let me explain what the fuck it was.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Well, that's why I just, I wanted to paint a picture for what we had in front of us for people. Oh now the listeners know it doesn't look like a cookie. Thank you. Hanford and Eva, this is a deconstructed apple oatmeal cookie crumble. It's deconstructed, that's why. That's why, that's why it looks like not a cookie.
Starting point is 00:29:24 That's why. It's deconstructed. Is that what's in front of you right there? That is what's in front of me right here. It looks like the bowl of dog food. It looks like Jemmy brought it. Yeah. But I brought a bowl for everyone, and Kacey and Emma included.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Let's be confusing if you're like a contractor and you're working on a project where there's a building D and you're always saying deconstructed. If you're like on a project where there's a building D and you're always saying D constructed if you're like no, it's We mean building D is being constructed Boss you said to take it down. No, no You guys have got to read the read what's going on in the blueprints here. We're building Building D we're constructing it All right. This look at this actually looks quite toothsome.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Wonderful. And it's got like a sort of like- Oh, you eat it with a spoon. Look at that. Yeah, we're eating this with a spoon. Can you just take a picture? We've got kind of like- Oh, yeah, shoot, I should take a picture.
Starting point is 00:30:13 There's a gooey texture to it. It's very moist, but there is a little bit of crunch on the edges. And I'm seeing cookie in it. Yeah, there is some cookie in there. It does not look like a crumb. Send me a picture of that, Mitch. I'll send you a picture.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Like pictures of pieces of cookie. You see it on the webcam there, Hanford, or is this too? I think I wanna, it's a little too far away. I'll get a nice close up there. Having this be a little warm probably better, but you know, it was a little warm when I started. Now, how did you land on this specific concept
Starting point is 00:30:43 for this cookie? I Googled Thanksgiving cookies. Got it. Which I never have really seen or tried before. Is it, you might not see those too much because they're like, they don't really exist. Thanksgiving cookies. That might be true.
Starting point is 00:31:04 No, you're 100% right. That's also not the theme we agreed on. No, that's also true, Eva. I cannot believe how calm Jemi is with me eating food right next to her. You wanna try it? Yeah, really. So unfood motivated.
Starting point is 00:31:17 You wanna try it? Wow. Like I put her dinner down every night and it takes me and Mike both trying to convince her that it's okay to go eat. She just stares at it and stares at us and like, are you sure that's for me? And we have to tell her it's okay to go eat.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Wake me up when you're serving souffle. Yeah. Okay, Jimmy, okay. Now if you throw like a steak or something on a pan in the kitchen, she is right behind you in two seconds flat. Got it, got it. So it's very specific taste. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Mitch, can I just say, this is delicious. It's really, really delicious. Thank you. I'm thrilled by that. My mom and I, we went to Lazy Acres, right? Is that what it was called? The grocery store? Lazy Acres?
Starting point is 00:32:00 I don't know. What is it? Is this like a artisan grocery store? It's kind of an artisan grocery store. We get myself some, I was getting some b12 fun So so I was just a little like it's like a health place. It's kind of like it's like a fancy It's like a kind of a fancy Yeah, yes, yeah, no, no, you know where it is it's where It's it's it's right at a Western, you know know like Western where it goes up to
Starting point is 00:32:25 Griffith Park Boulevard there? Yes. It's at that point where my dry cleaner used to be. Okay. Which I guess doesn't help you imagine where it is. Oh yeah, it's not helping anyone to hyper-specific. Up the street from the Petco maybe?
Starting point is 00:32:36 Right. Across the street from the Baskin-Robbins on Western. Oh, that's a new place. It's new, it's new. Yeah. So it is kind of a fancy- Oh, not at Baskin-Robbins. You'll find it at Rite Aid. The old Rite Aid. It's a fancy place. It's new, it's new. Yeah. So it is kind of a fancy You'll want to go to that Baskin Robbins. Yeah, it's a fancy spot.
Starting point is 00:32:48 I wanted to get something that worked for us, both a Christmas cookie and a Thanksgiving cookie. What were you doing with that dry cleaner? You're going to the last time you're getting dry cleaned? I had the same question, thank you for asking. I can't say it with my mom here. What? What are you getting the Linda Tripp special?
Starting point is 00:33:06 I think of like dry cleaning for menswear. Every area is Mrs. Mitchell. Like suits or something or like nice business shirts, but you're not a guy who normally dresses like that. Yeah, I was getting my Celtics jersey pressed. What the hell are you? I'm just curious. I dress up occasionally.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Okay, so it was situationally for when you had to dress up a little bit. Yeah. Got it, got it. He's got his on the red carpet. I've seen him. That's true. I'll honestly tell you where I went the most is for what's going on. I was about to say that you have to wear a suit every week.
Starting point is 00:33:35 I'd wear a suit for what's going on, so that would always be what I would go there for the most. And you're nervous, you probably would sweat in it a lot. I would sweat in it a lot. Or they'd make you roll in pudding or something. Right. I'm surprised we haven't done this for Doughboys yet where I roll in pudding. So that area there, that dry cleaner is now Lazy Eggers.
Starting point is 00:33:56 We got my B12. We got everything that we needed, including some muffin pans and some cooling racks. I just thought of a joke. Can you say, we got my B12 again? We got my B12. You sunk my battleship. We got my B12. Tatooine a little soccer ball right now is going.
Starting point is 00:34:19 B12. B12. B12. B12. B12. B12. B12. B12. B12. B12. B12. B12? We got my B12, we got some muffin pans, some cooling racks, we actually got a pint of milk, I said we put this all in the doughboy card, she said, is that against the rules?
Starting point is 00:34:38 I said, doesn't matter, let's just use the doughboy's card. We used the doughboy's card, we got out of there, we went and saw the Holdovers at Alamo draft house downtown. Is it good? We had fun. Right? Yeah, we both liked it. It was fun. That's great. We got back at about 930 p.m. We started on this recipe and they were in a muffin tin and I could never get them out of the muffin tin in the shape of cookies. They're supposed to be cookies. Oh, they're supposed to be cookies. They were supposed to be constructed.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Got it. That's how these are deconstructed. So I had to lie to you immediately. My mom told me to be confident and just go with it. So it's her fault. She's the one who's lying to all of you, not me. No, I think it's the right move, because this tastes great. And so the idea of it is that it's
Starting point is 00:35:28 these cookies that hold kind of, I'll show you the recipe. They hold a shape. Yeah, they look like kind of little mini pies. The issue was, and look, I like to challenge myself for the mash off, I wanted it to work. We probably should have put in two different pie tins at different times, but it was already late. They just weren't coming out of the tins. It said 18 to 20 minutes, we cooked it 20 minutes, and then probably had to cook it total 20 more
Starting point is 00:36:00 minutes to make it what it was. So they were under cooked a bunch. And I don't know if it was my oven or the, you know. This is the thing, because I bake so rarely. And I think Mrs. Mitchell was saying, your mom was saying that it's like a recipe thing, right? But like the first time you try a recipe, there's always something goes a little haywire. That certainly happened with mine,
Starting point is 00:36:21 which we'll talk about in a second. So it always feels like you need that first go to like kind of work out the kinks and figure out like, oh, this thing's stuck to the muffin pan. Well, how am I going to salvage this? I felt good in that the tastes are there. So if this had worked out and it was a cohesive cookie, I would have been happy with it for the tastes. They're delicious, though.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Thank you. See, I kind of like this for a hot. Because you could totally just like scoop some ice cream on top of that. Exactly. And like make it into a big bowl of deliciousness. Yeah. That was my mom's idea actually was to put some vanilla ice cream on there, but that
Starting point is 00:36:54 felt even further away from a cookie. But cookies and ice cream work. This is, so it's called an apple crisp, sorry, apple crisp cookie cups. Oh yeah, okay, I see. So that's, and I can probably, that's this is- So it's supposed to have a shape. That's what it's supposed to look like. Okay, beautiful. That's what it's supposed to look like.
Starting point is 00:37:11 It's truly like a cupcake that is pie, which is something you used to talk about a lot. That's a great point, Eva. Yes, also, yes, cookies are pie in this. Cupcakes. Oh no. Cookies are pie on Thanksgiving. in this. Cupcakes.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Oh no. Cookies are pie on Thanksgiving. Cookies too. But yeah, there were some complications there. But basically you have to make the base with oatmeal and butter and sugar and then you make the apple pie filling and then you drizzle it with caramel sauce. Wow. Beautiful. You mentioned the holdovers.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Wait, then maybe we'll edit this out if this upsets people, but- This is a delish recipe, but go on. Director Alexander Payne, do you remember Rose McGowan had an allegation about him a few years ago, but she said in the allegation that he was very well endowed, I guess, as proof? This, what?
Starting point is 00:38:03 Rose McGowan said that he was a creep to her when she was 15. And then, and included the detail, you are very well endowed. Mm-hmm. There's gotta be a weird thing if you're reading that to be like, fuck, I'm canceled, but everyone knows I got a big hug. Thank you, ma'am.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Yeah. And I am sorry. Yeah. That's right, that's my mom and I remember that right before when we went to a different movie. We didn't go to the Holobovers. We went and saw something else. I was in a San Inez Valley last weekend,
Starting point is 00:38:33 and they still are dining out on Sideways every single place you go. They're like, one little thing from Sideways filmed here. Right. And it's like, it's been so long since that movie came out. But they're like, hey, the bartender here is like the guy from Sideways. Oh okay.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Wow that's that guy I want I'm thinking of the guy and if that's the guy that's kind of cool that you can go to a bar and eat the guy. Well it's at Hitching Post didn't you guys do a birthday boy show there? You guys did right? We were at the Hitching Post? Yeah weren't they? Didn't you? Or somewhere nearby?
Starting point is 00:39:03 Oh this is in Solvang California. Yeah when they were trying to like. Oh yeah yeah yeah okay. We were like, at the Hitching Post? Yeah, weren't they, didn't you, or somewhere nearby? Oh, this was in Solving, California. Yeah, when they were trying to like. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. We were like right nearby. The Ultimate Comedy Bash, this was a UCB initiative. The most confused audience I've ever seen in my entire,
Starting point is 00:39:16 do you remember this, Hanford? They were trying to make, Solving into the new comedy mecca. The new Del Close marathon. Like a new Aspen or something. Wild. Yeah. If it kept going, maybe, but it was just that one year. Yeah, there was, it was like a hard place to get to. There was not a lot of people there and we did, we did ropes and
Starting point is 00:39:31 underwear in that bar, remember? Yeah, it was a big bar. I'm surprised you should have been arrested. Yeah. There were people, the people, they were like, there were some people who were not happy we did it. Were you totally naked in the bar? That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Well, there was like a stage, there was a stage room next to the bar, right? Yes, there were like cowboy doors that went into a bar. Yeah. Where most of the people were in. Right, and then people would kind of poke their heads into what we were doing and go, no, thanks. Yep. Well, there was an added layer of, because you kind of wanted to give it some context
Starting point is 00:40:04 for the settings, so you told everyone beforehand, just because you kind of wanted to give it some context for the settings. So you told everyone beforehand, just so you know, this is happening at the same time that Thomas Hayden Church is on a date with Sandra Oh. It's like, no, this is kind of just happening in the background. And I think people are just kind of looking around to see if they were there.
Starting point is 00:40:18 It's kind of confused by the setup. For people who don't know, this is a sketch that ends for two full minutes of Mitch and Hanford fully nude. Yeah. We did it in front of our shows mom. It's from the pilot of our, of Birthday Boys, yeah. Yeah, I have C-Series. Live also.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Live it's a different experience. Yeah, live it's. It's a lot of juggling of crack and junk. Yeah. And also we were doing it like in front of what I think were real cowboys. It's a lot of juggling of crack and junk. And also we were doing it like in front of what I think were real cowboys. They seemed like real deal, real life cowboys in many ways. Were they herding cows? Guys, I just got a little warning on my computer that says I'm out of space so my video stopped
Starting point is 00:40:59 but I got to clear some space off this thing I think. Oh boy. Okay, well I would save that video. Got any old like screenplays you can delete? clear some space off this thing, I think. Oh boy. Okay, well, I would save that video. You got any old screenplays you can delete? Yeah, all my screenplays are like a thousand pages. Max Landis? What are you getting on that laptop there?
Starting point is 00:41:19 Why are you running on the space? I bet it's all like... Empty that trash. Loppy boys stuff. Oh sure, that'll happen those Drive space yeah, well I've been there before constantly dumping files. Yeah You gotta you know it's not I don't know if you're using the drop box or the sloppy boys But what I found is that you could you can use the drop box setting to store it on the cloud
Starting point is 00:41:41 So it's not stored on your None of my audio is stored locally anymore for Doughboys after I record it. That's smart. Same. All right, give me a second here. We'll figure it out. Think about that cloud that the Doughboys audio is like, that green, gross cloud.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha This is this is good Mitch you like it. Yeah, I think you're you're you're upset because it didn't come out the way you wanted it To but I think overall this is a this is a very delectable dessert I'm not gonna eat this whole thing and I can't stop trying to stop eating it. That's good I had to put it to the side so I wouldn't be looking at it What I really like and I don't know if this is this is in this is a byproduct of it sticking or if this is like It's intended to have this this texture, but you've got like this these crunchier sections that's that is with the mush. The crunchier sections are supposed to exist it's just the issue was is that the crunchy sides were there and then the bottom was just sticking and we you know we put in the we sprayed it with the spray. Ma do you
Starting point is 00:42:39 have anything to say on this? I bet you're right about the top of it. That was crunchy, that was at the top of the cup. Yeah, and that was coming off a lot when we were trying to get them out of the... And we also had to like recook it, like we put it back in the oven five times maybe, I think, over the course of... It's tough to get your oven temperature right. I was reading like, so we reviewed...
Starting point is 00:43:01 It was so far, like the recipe, like for me it was so far off. I don't know if my oven is not calibrated correctly or whatever. You can get a little thermometer to put in your oven, like on Amazon, and then you can check and see if it's actually the temperature it says it is.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Do you use a baking scale? No, my stepdaughter does, though, because she makes like macaron. Yeah. But I don't. Because I was like, OK, so we reviewed, but like in the very recent memory reviewed, Milk Bar. And so I was looking at some of the Milk Bar that Christina
Starting point is 00:43:28 Tosie, I believe, is the baker, like some of her things. And like, she's very much like a low oven temperature baker, like 275, like super low for longer, for whatever reason. But also, like, I saw a lot of tips about using a kitchen scale, which I'm just like, I don't bake enough to invest in a kitchen scale, but I understand that since it's a science, not an art, you're trying to get the proportions exactly right
Starting point is 00:43:50 and the individual variants for measuring cups may mess up, or how ingredients are packed in there could mess up your proportions. Yeah, and if you're trying to make things as uniform as someplace like Milk Bar too. Right, right. What things like perfection. What do you think of Milk Bar?
Starting point is 00:44:03 Well, we should say, you made the cracked pie one year. It was delicious. I did, which is actually maybe one of her easier recipes. Some of her stuff's like really complicated. I like Milk Bar. I like Milk Bar like once a year. That's what it seems like. Yeah, that seems about the rate of consumption.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Super sweet, but it's good stuff. How you doing with the hard drive there, Hanford? I'm doing great. I'm just saving. It's taking a second to save, but I deleted a whole bunch of shit. Wow. What's the most embarrassing thing you deleted? I had some, they're not fully clothed pictures of Mitch but they were just he was blinking and all. Alright new movie recording for the Handman.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Were you, was this part of the episode here? I think we can keep this in. Yeah. Okay, I'm in, I'm in. He's back. He's back. Wow, thanks for debugging that in real time. Any other thoughts on this cookie?
Starting point is 00:44:59 No, you know, I wish it had come out the way I want it. It would be great to have had at least one. That's what we were banking on. We were like, maybe we can get four, because we had about almost 20 of them. Yeah. And so we were like, maybe we can get four of them that will work out, or five of them, for however many people.
Starting point is 00:45:15 I realized in the end it was five of us. And we couldn't get five. We couldn't even get one, actually. We got one that was scooped out, and then it fell apart on the plate. But I want to try it again. If you do it again, can I couldn't even get one, actually. We got one that was scooped out and then it fell apart on the plate. But I wanna try it again. If you do it again, can I make a suggestion? Yes, please.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Little muffin wrappers. Dad will put them in there. Ah, you and my mom are on the same exact page. That's exactly what we probably should have done. I love pulling those muffin wrappers off too. How fun is that? Yeah. If you do it again, send us a picture.
Starting point is 00:45:44 I will, I will. I am going to attempt it again. It was, it actually wasn't the hard, I think the pie when I made the, the apple cranberry pie was actually more difficult, but it wasn't not with the sheet. My mom very much gets credit here cause we were made it together. But, but it was, it was, it was still kind of a lot of work. I would say. No. I mean from nine 30 till about 1 AM. Really?
Starting point is 00:46:08 Yeah, probably. Holy shit. You, you make, uh, you've had, you make good bar pizza. You make good, you had a dip one time I was at your house, you know, chicken dip or something. Oh yeah. The Buffalo chicken dip. I can follow a recipe, but we followed this one and, and, and, and, uh, but
Starting point is 00:46:23 I'm happy that it still tastes good. This worked out great. So that's, I'm happy about it. You did you did you were you are great at making a bar pizza and yes that pie you made when we were making pies those a delicious delicious pie. That's I gotta make that one again this year.

I'm getting good night's sleep every night.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I just crav- I'm craving my bed. Oh. You know why? I think I know why. I sleep on a Helix. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You weren't saying that you didn't get a good night's sleep but you're sleepy.
Starting point is 00:49:12 I got a great night's sleep. You were saying you had such a great night's sleep that you want to experience it again right now. When you're sleeping on a Helix, you want the sleep, baby, because it feels good. Now, Mitch, you've had the Helix mattress for a while now. How's your sleep improved? Yeah, the it feels good. Now, Mitch, you've had the Helix mattress for a while now. How has your sleep improved? Yeah, the sleep feels good.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Your sleep's improved. My sleep has improved wise. It's like, I've had the Helix mattress for a while now. Wow. Let me tell you this. Here's a good anecdote for you. I'm up in Toronto sleeping on a slab of concrete. I come back home. I got my Helix sleep mattress. It's like sleeping on a slab of concrete. Mmm, boy. I come back home, I got my Helix Sleep mattress.
Starting point is 00:49:48 It's like sleeping on a cloud. Me, Wally, and Urba, the best mattress I've ever slept on. My mom has slept on it with me at the foot of the bed like a dog. She says it's the best mattress she's ever slept on. Anyone who sleeps in this thing, they love it wise. Yeah. Helix Sleep mattress. And here's the thing. it was easy to figure out
Starting point is 00:50:07 what mattress worked for me, because I took the Helix Sleep quiz. That's right, a simple quiz, it was fast. And matching with the mattress, I wanted to get a Helix Moonlight Luxe mattress, which I love, got mailed right to my door. I set it up with Ross Kimball. We set it up in just a few minutes, easy to go,
Starting point is 00:50:24 put the trash out, I was good to go, I had a nice new bed for me and Wally and Irma. Wow. Hey, get 25% off site-wide, plus two free dream pillows with any mattress purchase, plus get a free bedding bundle, two dream pillows, sheet set, and mattress protector with any Lux or Elite mattress order.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Go to helixsleep.com slash doughboys, it's helixsleep.com slash doughboys. Take her from the Spoo Man, do it. It's gonna be a good sleep. Speaking of pies, and this is now embarrassingly two bash-offs ago, but Eva, you delivered your pie to me and I forgot, I never returned the pie tin. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:51:05 So I have that back today. That's awesome. And I'm using that to store my cookies. I love that. What I made are, and I have this little piece of bread for freshness. I'm gonna keep this away from Jemmy because this is chocolate.
Starting point is 00:51:18 So Jemmy. She won't try to eat it. You woke her up. Just tell her. I'm gonna yell in your ear and tell you not to eat it. She doesn't care. You woke her up. Now she's like, I'm gonna yell in your ear and tell you not to eat this chocolate. These are red velvet cookies with chocolate chips. And I want some of them.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Why did you have a piece of bread? To keep them fresh. To keep them fresh. Oh, is that a thing that happens? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's funny because one is attached to it and then Jemmy is interested in the bread. It's stuck to the bread.
Starting point is 00:51:44 She does love bread. The moisture, is it the moisture keeps them is attached to it and then Jemmy is interested in the bread. It's stuck to the bread. She does love bread. The moisture, is it the moisture keeps them soft? Is that? They keep them, yeah, they're like a little bit less stale. I never knew that, that's wild. That's cool. Yeah, it's an old grandma trick. So these are, here's the thing, here are my issues with this.
Starting point is 00:51:59 First off, I like, I wanted to make these in the recipe called for white chocolate chips. I don't like white chocolate. So I migrated to semi these in the recipe called for white chocolate chips. I don't like white chocolate So I migrated to semi soft Dark chocolate chunks the issue is I've never worked with dark chocolate chunks before and they were a little bit hard to mix in here So you see they're kind of like some of them They're kind of just like scattered on top more so than then baked in and their M&Ms in there The other thing is I was like I wanted these to feel a little bit more Christmasy outside of the red hue
Starting point is 00:52:24 So I thought I'd try to get some green in there. The problem is I couldn't find any green baking M&M's. So I just had to buy a regular ass bag of regular M&M's. And I was like, there should be plenty of greens in here. It was like a quarter cup worth of green M&M's. I needed like a half cup to a cup. And I had like, like barely enough to just sort of dot throughout here.
Starting point is 00:52:39 So it's a part three M&M count. Like this one has two M&M's and this one is like one of the more heavily M&M'd of them. So it's kind of a bummer. I'm also picturing Natalie just sitting in a house filled with other colored M&Ms right now. Like a ball pit. The other thing is, this is the third issue.
Starting point is 00:52:57 This dough was really hard to work with and I should have chilled it. And I was like kind of making this in a little bit of a rush like you that I just like didn't take the time. I should have just put this in the fridge for a couple hours. Let it sit there. Because when I waited, I made them in two batches. You can kind of tell the difference between the first batch ones, which are like kind
Starting point is 00:53:12 of these malformed orbs, and the second batch, which are much more uniform. Because by the time the batch had like kind of solidified, the dough had solidified a little bit. They were a lot easier to roll out and make into little balls of the baking sheet. That said, these are my red velvet chocolate chunk and M&M cookies. Wow. Nice. I'm excited to try. I'll just throw these this way.
Starting point is 00:53:34 You gonna take one? Oh yeah, I'll take one. Now is red velvet, I know it's a thing, but, and it used to be like huge. Remember everything was like red velvet cupcakes and stuff? Yeah, there was a big red velvet trend. Yeah. Is there a different taste to red velvet
Starting point is 00:53:48 or is it just like a look? No, it has a little bit of a taste because I think it's the buttermilk that's involved. Yeah. Ah yes. Because it's like a chemical reaction. For the longest time, I thought it was food coloring that makes it red and some of the recipes
Starting point is 00:53:59 do call for food coloring, but no, it is a chemical reaction. The baking soda, I think, working with the butter or the cocoa powder working with the buttermilk that caused it to have a red hue. These are nice, Nick. These are really nice. Mm. Yeah, the texture I think is a little cakey too.
Starting point is 00:54:15 Mm-hmm. It's good. I think you made the right choice to go with dark chocolate over the white chocolate. Yeah, exactly. I think white chocolate would have been overpowering. Yeah, I think that, I think white chocolate is a lot of times used as like, Oh, well they have cream cheese icing.
Starting point is 00:54:34 So it's like cream cheese frosting. So like, okay, we'll have a, we'll throw a white chocolate in there, but it's like, it's not really the same flavor profile. So it's own thing. I don't know, white chocolate, I'm never into it. You know what? Yeah, I'm not, I don't like it. I think the M&Ms are a great idea because it gives a nice little crunch as well.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Yeah, it needed more M&Ms. If I could do it over again, I would chill the dough and put in like twice as many M&Ms. Oh, you did a great job. Yeah, really nice. Thanks, buddy. I love the texture of them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Good cakey texture. Actually, yeah, I just got my M&M's by it and it was... That's what it needed. It honestly, maybe not even the chocolate chunks, maybe if I just made them with M&M's. I think you can get baking colors at Michael's. I should have gone to like a specialty store. Or just like the Michael's in a...
Starting point is 00:55:22 Oh, Sautel has them, I think. Oh, yeah? I will say, if you came in with just a bowl of green M&Ms, you would get disqualified, just so you know. That was, it was that way you were trying. I think they're very, I think they're very tasty, Nick. I think you did a great job. Thanks buddy.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Yeah, really nice. How do you feel? Do you feel good? Well, I know. See those green M&Ms make you horny. It's totally horny. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha napkins. Hey. Because there's one thing the Headcome studio is always lacking, it is paper products. So if anyone needs a napkin. That's unacceptable.
Starting point is 00:56:06 I'll take a napkin, thank you. There you go. I know that I bought pie tins. Up in a minute. And cooling racks and milk, but these red napkins are over the top. I just, I think it's weird that you bought vitamins.
Starting point is 00:56:18 And you admitted to it. I don't know. Do the advertisers, do you have like, are Athletic Green's going to be mad? Yeah, Athletic Green's is fuming. Yeah, Athletic Green's going to be pissed off. Though they probably do like the green M&M's, so I think that's probably, I think we probably want them back a little bit. That's a good brand synergy.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Let's buy some more spots. Look here from a 60 second to a 90 second. Oh, Jesus. Battery comes in at seven minutes. I think you did a great job. Yeah, lovely. The dog woke up. Congrats, Nick. Thanks, Hanford. When you guys bake, Evie, you know your way around the kitchen,
Starting point is 00:57:04 but do you get a little nervous about it? Like when we said cookies, I was like, oof, this could go either way. These could be good. On one ass cheek the whole time. And same thing with the fucking pies we had to do. Because it's not my comfort zone. I cook in saute pans and cast iron skillets in the oven all the time. I'm doing that shit all the time.
Starting point is 00:57:23 You can keep going with those. You can keep going, yeah. My thing with cookies is they come out not done all the time. I'm doing that shit all the time. Because you can keep going with those. You can keep going, yeah. My thing with cookies is they come out not done all the way. Exactly. You can make a mistake, you can correct on the fly, you know, you can adjust the seasoning. It's so much easier, so much more margin for error.
Starting point is 00:57:36 And also just so much flexibility, because like a baking, if you bake something wrong, it can just like not work. It can just like completely collapse. Yeah, we ran into that. I think that when we were discussing what to do, I thought cookies seemed easiest. And then when we were, I mean, I picked,
Starting point is 00:57:55 you know, I picked one that was difficult too, but then after doing it, it's like cookies are difficult. All of them are, they're not easy. They're not easy to do. Yeah. And if I had known that I'm like, oh, like doing a stuffing is easier than making some cookies.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Making cookies is a pain in the ass. It looks like the next thing we're gonna be tasting is a Jemmy's paw. Oh no. No way on that. Oh, she loves you. Can I say earlier in the podcast, there was a moment where Mitch or Eva was talking
Starting point is 00:58:26 and Jemmy kind of shifted and Weiger, you did a, you looked exactly like the T1000 when he comes into the world just kind of like. What is this? What is this carbon-based organism? It was just the weirdest like. I was so disgusted. She looked like she was about to make a point is the thing.
Starting point is 00:58:51 She sort of sat up. I got something to say. I've never seen a dog get weirded out with an interaction more than Jemmy has with wives. Play it cool. Are you okay buddy? Hanford, do you want to go next or who wants to go next? I guess Hanford or Eva. Well, this is usually where the host steps in. Hanford, you're up. We can't actually taste yours. Okay let's... Okay, I made something. Now, I also use some M&Ms, Wagger.
Starting point is 00:59:28 I use mini M&Ms in mine. Now, I was excited to do this because I had a... I've been wanting to make these for a while. Peanut butter cookies, you know? Where you put the fork down in it. Oh, yeah. And I just used like a, whatever, Betty Crocker mix or whatever.
Starting point is 00:59:44 And I did peanut butter cookies with They're not burned on the bottom Oh Oh, that's good That's great I believe and you. And check this out. It made more cookies than that, but I did a super cookie. Oh my gosh. Look at that.
Starting point is 01:00:11 It's a pancake-sized fucking flapjack cookie. Are you gonna take those to work? I might take them to work, but I might be a little selfish. Yes, I'll be eating all 36 of these this weekend. That's awesome. Yes, I should bring those to work because I don't want them in my home. I like it because it's also very Christmasy. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Yeah, I wanted to go for the Christmas colored M&Ms, but I couldn't find them yet. That big cookie, if you leave that out for Santa, it's going to weigh down as sleigh. He's going to gonna crash probably. Are you dunking that bad boy? I am dunking that bad boy, and guess what? I got some milk the other day, I was ordering milk online when I was sick. How about we start that again? You got sick and you thought to order a big batch of milk?
Starting point is 01:01:02 I was like, alright, I gotta get some milk. I gotta loosen up all this phlegm. I ordered a bunch of stuff, mostly like Gatorade and soup and stuff like that. But also, I needed milk, so I got it. And the website suggested it was like, try almond milk. So I did almond milk. And it is disgusting.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Oh, you're dipping the cookie in almond milk? I honestly thought when you first said it that you said gin. I thought for some reason that you said gin. That is funny. I want you to dip. You probably have a nice bar because of sloppy boys. Yeah. I want you to dip the cookie in hard alcohol. Tell us what it tastes like.
Starting point is 01:01:39 It's probably as good as almond. How about a big port wine? Yeah. Can you grab that big cookie and hold it up again? You mind doing that? I'm sure. Just to get a look at that bad boy. This isn't like a creepy fetish thing, is it Nick? I don't know, I just wanna see how big that cookie is.
Starting point is 01:01:55 He wants you to show the dog. This, no, I was gonna say that big cookie feels- For reference. Yeah, big, yeah. Feel iPhones. Certainly bigger than your iPhone. But I can text on this cookie, which is weird. Stupid waste of time.
Starting point is 01:02:14 No, that was great. What I'm gonna say is a waste of time, which is I feel like Big Cookie would have been like the premise of like a birthday boy sketch in like 2009. Yeah, you're right, birthday boys sucked. I forgot. Is it someone who brings a big cookie to a party? Exactly, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:31 OK. Or it's like a potluck and someone brought one big cookie. I thought you were saying like big cookie, like big tobacco or something. That's also good. That maybe has more legs. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:42 That's maybe a birthday boys TV show. Uh, uh, uh, some stupid wraparound premise. Uh, Hanford, that, that, that big cookie, are what's your plan? Are you, are you going to eat it yourself or are you going to, what are you, what are you going to do? I'm going to see some friends tomorrow night. We're going to go over to their house and hang out. So maybe I'll bring, actually that's where I'll bring these cookies.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Not all of them. There's so many of them. Yeah. With the big one, I'll, I'll show off to my friends. My New York friends. Slice it into little wedges and then serve it like a little pizza. Yeah, I'll do the thing where I cut a little tiny slice
Starting point is 01:03:13 and then leave the slice and take the whole thing. And my friends will say, oh, that's so funny. I'll say, I'm not joking, bitch. Hey, I just want to quickly check. The friend's house you're going over to, it's not Shaq, right? Because if you're hyping up this big cookie, to him, it might just seem very normal size. Right, yeah. He'll be like, oh, you serve tiny cookies?
Starting point is 01:03:35 I said, it's Shaq. I don't know, the dog heard about the wedge of cookie that'll do. Well, Haver, those look very nice. And by the way, cookies can be sent through the mail. Yeah, just so you know, you can ship those nationwide. You can ship those if you want to. No postal regulations against that. Do you like, is that like a top combo for you, chocolate and PB?
Starting point is 01:04:01 Yeah. Oh, yeah. My favorite chocolate candy is Reese's. Yeah, oh yeah my like favorite chocolate candy is Reese's. Yeah, I love Reese's. But also peanut butter cookies I love and I like when people do like the whole Hershey kiss right in the middle. We contemplated those those cookies the the peanut butter ones with the chocolate kiss in the center. What are those called? I forget thumb print cookies. And he's posture right now, like just looks depressed.
Starting point is 01:04:31 All right. She's been listening to 55 minutes of dough. She's just readjusting. Is there a lot of traffic outside? Demi, Demi, don't go out there. A sara-mcglofflin PSA just about animals being around when Bill Boyes is on. In the arms of you.
Starting point is 01:04:59 All right, Eva, what do you got? Okay, I have a, also has peanuts in it. A spiced peanut shortbread. Whoa. Ooh. Spiced peanuts. Yes. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:05:16 I went to take a bite of my dessert and you reached over and got the cookies. I didn't help and my mom yelled at me at the same time. There's, Here you go. Look at those. Start here. These are, these have a fun form factor to them. I take a couple of these.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Yeah, there's a bunch and they're tiny. Wow. I'm going to take a couple too. They're short bread you said? These are short bread. Yeah. I'm holding this up to camera. It's.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Did you take one Eva? It's got like a. I ate a bunch earlier. It's there, there's smaller discs and discs, and they are kind of like ringed with some sort of, I mean, what is this on the outside? It's peanuts, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Oh, wow. Now, where's this recipe from?
Starting point is 01:05:58 These look so professional. They look like this could, I could have opened up a bag of cookies, and this is. Yeah, this looks like pepper and chives. Yeah, those look pretty uniform, that's great. This is cookbook author Molly Baas, and it's her new cookbook, More is More, had these cookies in it.
Starting point is 01:06:12 So this is interesting, because this is the kind of thing that sounds like it would be a vintage recipe. Oh yeah, no, it's a new one. Her cookbook just came out this week. I'm gonna take a bite. These are, they're fantastic. I love this. This is great. This is so good
Starting point is 01:06:26 This is great. Um, I love shortbread cookies. They're one of my favorite. Yeah They're very different and like I've never I've really never the black pepper. I've never tasted anything like it's great Thank you. It's fuck pepper and cardamom are the only spices What might even you you come at like the recipes that you bring in here, the food you bring in here usually is like pretty unique and like different, like with different spices and stuff. Do you think of it first and go, oh, let me see if I can find this type of thing,
Starting point is 01:06:56 or do you find the thing and say, oh, this would be good for? Oh, I just like dig around at different stuff. And also there's stuff like that's too complicated or has stuff I don't wanna mess with, like weird gel food coloring and stuff. I was looking at like different sort of very elaborate gingerbread cookies and I was like, I'm not making that.
Starting point is 01:07:14 But these popped up and I thought they looked really nice. And I never tasted like cookies with black pepper in them. So I was like. I love the black pepper. And I was gonna say like, what I really like is how salty these are. I mean, I'm a huge salt and sweet salt and sweet together guy Yeah, this this this really comes together nicely great texture to it too
Starting point is 01:07:31 Because it's like it's good. Sometimes you get these in there. They're they're dry guys But this this has like a you know, the right amount of moisture to it Well, they have a lot of peanuts in the dough too So they're kind of got a peanut base. You've been a salt and sweet guy since the snicker and Mountain Dew days. That's a... You remember... These are fantastic. Once again...
Starting point is 01:07:51 Really good. I mean, we joke about it every year, but you do win every year. You always do such a great job. There's a reason you back clean up. Mm-hmm. I did enter shortbread at the county fair this year. Wow. Oh.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Did you get any, did you win? I got second. Nice. Second or third? What's that? I got second. What color ribbon is that? I think it's red.
Starting point is 01:08:13 I got red ribbon, but in sugar cookies. They collapsed my category into all different types of sugar cookies, so I got second in sugar cookies, even though I entered shortbread, in the shortbread category. Wow. These are fantastic. You guys remember when this the birthday boys did we would do a sketch every once in a while where it was like Old ladies giving away Halloween candy. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember I My
Starting point is 01:08:40 Old lady character gave away I think weird cookies was the thing and So I would bake cookies for the show and put them in little bags, like little tiny cookies and throw them out to the audience. Weird cookies. But I would make it, right? I would make them with, I would just get like a mix, like a sugar cookie mix,
Starting point is 01:08:57 but instead of sugar, I would use salt. Oh no. So there was like an extra little joke for the people that caught him and ate him. And I'd look out and they'd be like, that's so funny. You're pranking? I never knew that. That's really funny.
Starting point is 01:09:10 You're just pranking your own audience? Well, just get a little, if you happen to get one, you get a little fun little hat on. That's really great. Wow. Did you play an old man in that sketch or were you an old lady that just, and you just talked with an old man voice? I was the old lady, but I talked with like the other old man voice I did.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Yeah. You know, that old man, I, when I did that sketch about, what was it? An old man. Uh, this, this is, that was great. This is great. I loved it. Fantastic. Guys.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Yeah. I was excited that it came together. You know an off-color Christmas joke that like Mrs. Claus would make about Santa that's kind of like, he's like, oh, I hope that they leave some Christmas cookies out for me this year. And she's like, yeah, they should leave out
Starting point is 01:09:58 some shortbread cookies. He's got a small dick. I'm just's something about, it's like, it's always, he thinks it's the North Pole gives him an excuse or something, that it's cold. Oh yeah, it's the North Pole. I think that there are, I'm sure that, I mean there are definitely off-color Santa jokes.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm sure that maybe the one you said isn't there somewhere. It's like a more like an American joke. I think it's like, I mean, there are definitely off-color Santa jokes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm sure that maybe the one you said isn't there somewhere. It's more like an area to explore, you know? I'm gonna say it's fully formed.
Starting point is 01:10:33 We can explore, we could write a joke book of off-color Santa jokes. Yeah, 101 off-color Santa jokes, I think we could do that. We could sell it. 101. Yeah, and it's a stocking stuffer. Eight pages?
Starting point is 01:10:47 Yeah. Is that like- No, I was laughing because 101 is just such a funny, like scholastic books thing. 101 or a thousand and one or whatever. Yeah. I feel like there's also a way to go with just writing a Christmas movie,
Starting point is 01:11:04 like as a scary movie. And it's just got all the Christmas jokes you want to throw in there. I mean, the Jack Frost, there's that Jack Frost scary movie, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where he, the snowman comes to life. The snowman comes to life and then he's like horny and he's a killer. And he moves his carrot nose. He moves his carrot, yeah. He moves his carrot to his, it's like a, it's, it's. He moves it to the bottom.
Starting point is 01:11:28 The sax makes it use it. The sax drags over so they, you know what? They can start production on a new Jack Frost. But the thing that's always wild is that there's like Jack Frost, they both have the same title. There's Jack Frost, the slasher movie. And then there's also Jack Frost, the Michael Keaton. Michael Keaton movie. Movie that's like, is that there's like Jack Frost, they both have the same title. There's Jack Frost, the slasher movie. And then there's also Jack Frost, the Michael Keaton movie
Starting point is 01:11:50 where the dad dies and then comes back as a snowman. And they came out around the same time, they're completely different. Written and directed by? Oh my God. Is it really? Our former boss, yeah. Troy Miller.
Starting point is 01:12:01 That's wild. That's wild. A very, one of our favorite old coworkers. That like also put Michael Keaton's career on ice for like almost a decade. Yeah, it's weird to think that he had like a comeback at a certain point, which I think was maybe the other guys. Was that it?
Starting point is 01:12:19 Where they were like, oh, Michael Keaton's in, he's really funny. But they're like, yeah, he had to just go away for a while, actor jail. It's so weird, because Troy Miller is such a sane man. It was good work. It's weird that it's weird to have such a crazy flop like that. I know.
Starting point is 01:12:34 This is paywall, right? I mean, he's like, it's his paywall. Yeah. He's so into directing and stuff that he would watch videos on the highway while I was driving a van full of people, So I don't understand. It's weird to me that he could ever make a flop like that. Yeah. Yeah, good thing this is paywall. He'll try to sue us. Why is another successful mashup?
Starting point is 01:13:01 Another successful mashup. I was just thinking there could be another set like Mrs. Claus joke or she like, she like holds up a candy cane and is like, the girth looks familiar. Oh my God. So do the stripes. So does the curve. So does the curve.
Starting point is 01:13:15 So does the curve. So does the curve. So does the curve. So does the curve. So does the curve. So does the curve. So does the curve. Dear Lord.
Starting point is 01:13:23 Dear Lord. So does the curve. So does the curve. So does the curve. So does the curve. So does the curve. You know, I'm sensitive about my peroneus. His perogies? Is it perone's disease? Oh, yeah, right, right, right. I've seen the carrot commercial. Anyways, I'm not going to get involved with it. My mother's here.
Starting point is 01:13:44 I can't get involved. Apologize to Mrs. Mitchell for making it up. I can't talk about this. I apologize, too. Apologize to get involved with it. My mother's here.
