I did. You just waited, no, you waited until you talked and you're like, oh, my mic's not on. I looked at you and and I was like I I could have just quietly been like and then I put you on and then no one ever know I looked at you I made eye contact I didn't see it and so I thought when I when I was like either this is gonna work or it's not gonna I'm setting up Chris for failure Well actually what it turned out to be hilarious you know

You know what I'm actually doing? I'm doing my silent protest of why don't this seat have one of these things? I don't understand. That's a good question. I don't understand. Turn it back button. Any button.

Like the thing, for all that shit, like why wouldn't this seat have that functionality? To not confuse Greg. We have so many buttons around here. Just don't let him, you know how to touch it? Like he sat in other seats. He would touch it though. We don't have a shortage, I'm with you.

We don't have a shortage of buttons around here so why not, like we could add three more. Right. We have a million buttons right here. I'm just gonna start pushing buttons one of these days. I always feel bad when like Greg yesterday coughed and Dan's like, that's two dollars. I'm like, where's he, there's no mute button. Well he actually does have it.

Under there, there is a cough button for Greg. It's like a little. Really? It looks like a. Yeah David uses it a lot when he's here. It looks like a detonator. I notice. It's all the way, our mark is here. I've never seen Greg use it's like a little... Really? It looks like a... Yeah, David uses it a lot when he's here. It looks like a detonator. I noticed. It's all the way, our mark is here. I've never seen Greg use it though.

Our mark is here, the button is all the way over here. That's not, come on man. Yeah, it's a reach. I mean, like... I actually like that seat, so I'm gonna ask them. Better camera angle. I know, I like your seat better than I like my seat. You want three seats?

I mean, listen. But you need that shit more than I do. Dan asked me why I don't watch the show. It's because I look fat. It's because I have a terrible camera angle, and I can't watch myself. I can't look at myself. I'm disgusted by myself.

I am. I'm disgusted by you too. Well, thank you. But also, why would you watch the show if you're on it? You don't need to hear your takes again, right? Although I have noticed when I listen back to the show, I hear things that I didn't hear when I was sitting here. Like when you said, apparently, that the last place NFL game

would get more viewers than the Super Bowl, I didn't even hear you say that yesterday. And a mean came in here fired up that none of us pushed back on it. I was like, I didn't hear it. Like the Reagan-Mowee conversation that you got to tune down on. In the same vein as buttons.

A lot of words are said around here. It's hard to catch them all. Well said. Also. You want to talk candy? Yes. Are we on? We've been on, maybe.

Yeah, we've been on. I think so. Juju's been eating Jolly Ranchers all day. Good. I was telling Amin before the show that I think there is no bigger disparity in candy in terms of like a box of candy, right? Then the red from the best candy to the worst candy within that same box, and I think it's juicy fruits. I

think the red and the orange are so good. They're the best. The worst one is the black and the disparity in so good, they're the best. The worst one is the black. And the disparity in that is such a wide gulf. I can't think, like maybe the cherry starburst versus the lemon starburst, that's a massive fall off. But I think it's juicy fruits. So I love the overall topic of what candy has the biggest fall off to the lowest, biggest drop off.

Right, from best to worst. From best to worst. that's a great topic. The problem is, Stugats, and you've been saying it all day long, and I said at some point, I'm not gonna correct you, I'm just gonna wait till we get to this segment. Juicy Fruit, Stugats, is a Wrigley's gum. It's like saying one of these winter freshers

is really good, but the other one is bad. One of these double mints is really good, but the other one's bad. Juicy Fruit is just gum. There are no different flavors of Juicy Fruit. It's a yellow pack, and it's just five sticks of gum. It used to be 25 cents for the longest time. I don't know how much it costs anymore.

But they don't come in different flavors. It's just Juicy Fruit. You're thinking about jujubes, I think? I think I am, yeah. Juji Fruit? Yeah, yeah. J-U-J-Y Fruit. Maybe, yeah. I think I think I am. Yeah, juji fruit. Yeah, yeah you jy fruit Maybe the candy comes it feels like a slur so I'm not gonna say it again. Mm-hmm I feel like juju should be right. I'm talking so I said gum. So I misspoke. I said juicy fruit, right?

You said juicy fruit. Not what I'm talking about Fruit is a candy. That's what I'm talking about it looks like there's a red like raspberry and then there's a brown or like a purple grape flavor. Is that what you mean? Yeah. The black one. Yeah. I'm gonna tell you there's there's an unequivocal winner. So I'm sifting through, you know, I'm sifting through the box. I'm trying to find the good ones. I'm leaving the bad ones in the box. I don't like that. Just make all the flavors good. How about that? I'll tell you right now, Sugat, there's an unequivocal winner.

There is no second place. Is it Starburst? No, it's not Starburst. Starburst, because I'll eat it. I'll eat the Starburst flavors I don't like. Lemon? I'll eat lemon. Really?

Like, if it's all that's left, I'll eat it. But, I'll tell you what, jelly beans, that black licorice jelly bean, ugh! That's terrible. Nobody wants that one. Samson likes those. You know what, actually- My actual favorite candy is a root beer jelly bean. Ugh, nobody wants that one. Samson likes those. You know what actually? My actual favorite candy is a root beer jelly bean.

I know that's strange. Samson also doesn't have a sense of taste. I was on Reddit the other day and there was like a Ask Reddit thread about like, if you want a product for the rest of your life at some point, what was it? Like in one of those contests, I probably phrased that poorly, but you know what I mean?

Yeah, like hey, A lifetime supply of blank. What was it? And so one guy got one like an oil change and like there were a bunch of different things. But one of them was jelly beans. And it actually like, they were like, oh it's a lifetime supply of jelly beans. But it ended up being like a humongous bag

that they got one time. And I can't think of something that I would want less than that many jelly beans. We all know the brown M&Ms are the best tasting M&Ms though, right? No. They're way better than the blue or the red. They all taste the same. It's just a color.

No, they don't. It's just a color. I got a terrible hypothetical. So you thought I was talking gum. No. I knew you were wrong in saying juicy fruit. And you kept saying juicy fruit. I'm like, no, no.

And then you're like, no, no, no, it's juicy fruit. I'm like no no no no no it's juicy fruit I'm like, okay, I have it this will test what your favorite candy is This is a terrible hypothetical you have to for the next week every 10 minutes that you're awake You have to eat this piece of candy 10 minutes. You're awake every 10 minutes. You're awake for the next week You have to eat one times an hour six times an hour You know if it's Snickers You know it's just a bite like you don't it be like tiny? Like if it's Snickers, you don't, it's just a bite. Like you don't have to eat an entire Snickers

if you choose Snickers. You have to take a bite of said candy every 10 minutes for a week that you're awake. And then you have to take an insulin shot every day for the rest of your life. Right, you're gonna be very sick. I'm just saying, if like I made you do this terrible thing, what candy are you choosing for this?

I had to. I'll go Skittles. I'll go Skittles every 10 minutes. I'll go Runts. Runts? Yeah. Nice and small. You're telling me like a weird sadistic genius

said this is your life sentence. You have to eat one of these. You lost some random bet. I'm gonna go with Reese's peanut butter cups. I'll go with Reese's Peasies. Yeah, so you're going small. You throw a couple in your mouth, you're good. Yeah, yeah. Jeremy brought up a a couple in your mouth. Yeah Yeah, Jeremy brought up a point if you choose something like that you're getting that same

Flavor for a week straight whereas if you choose starburst every 10 minutes, I can at least have a different journey No, I like me a peanut butter and chocolate Describe the starburst as a journey like ooh, I'm in pink world now
