We sample Francis Kurkdjian's "Kurky," a fragrance inspired by the perfumer's childhood nickname. With its fruity, candy-like profile dominated by bubble gum notes and tutti frutti accords, Kurky immediately transports us to memories of Halloween candy bags and childhood treats. Despite its cheerful opening, concerns about longevity and projection quickly emerge—a common criticism echoed in online reviews. At $245 for 2.4 ounces, we debate whether this youthful, predominantly feminine fragrance justifies its luxury price point.

Ryan (00:03):
hello everybody, welcome to a very sneaky episode of the
cologne podcast.
Sneaky, yeah, because wereleased one the other day, oh,
which, if you're not a patron,become one, because there's the
video of that on the patreon.
Myke (00:17):
Oh, that's true, yeah, you get to watch it and it's uncut,
very uncut which also means,yeah, that todd didn't do it.
Ryan (00:25):
He didn't lift a fucking finger.
Myke (00:26):
That's what that means.
He's like I've got a great idea, guys, just post it.
We said, okay, we'll do it, tryit, todd.
And then he sent an invoice forthat.
Ryan (00:40):
Today we're smelling on yet another fragrance Again.
If you're a patron, you wouldknow that we have an upcoming
episode where we smell OrmondJane, mm-hmm.
Ormond Woman.
Mike got a Travital Mouser fromNeiman's, I'm assuming that's
right.
This is why you're in the Big D.
You also got a carded sample ofa Mason Francis Kershaw
(01:00):
fragrance that's right, calledKirky oh Kirky fragrance that's
right, called Kirky, oh Kirky.
Kirky has a little bit of alittle write-up in here.
By the way, when you open upthe card, it's a sample.
It looks like children havedrawn all over it Uh-huh, but it
says Kirky is a poeticinvitation to reveal our inner
child with a burst ofspontaneous, carefree laughter.
Kirky with its fruity muskynotes, encourage us to see life
(01:24):
in color and be filled withwonder again.
Myke (01:28):
Yes, the reason why this is so childlike in nature is
apparently.
I mean, I'm shocked.
They must have been idiots, butFrancis Kirkjohn's friends
growing up could not pronounceKirkjohn, so they had to call
him Kirky.
I kind of like that.
Yeah, so this is like aninspired fragrance of his youth
(01:50):
and bringing back these fondmemories of childhood and stuff
like that playing with friendsand having a carefree life, you
know, before bills came andcrushed his soul.
Yeah, mm-hmm, life sucks, itdoes it does suck.
Life sucks, it does it doessuck.
But maybe this review fromdrama lola diva might just boost
(02:11):
your spirits, ryan.
It's a joke of a fragrance,honestly you said this again
drama lola diva.
She says it's a joke of afragrance.
Honestly, it's not how itsmells, it's how it doesn't.
I sprayed it generously on mywrist and nothing, nothing.
(02:36):
So don't tell me it's personal,because it ain't, and at that
price, why bother?
And then like a bunch of emojisthat are like rolling their
eyes, what's?
Ryan (02:49):
her name.
Drama alert Drama.
Myke (02:50):
Drama Lola Diva Like Lolita Maybe.
Ryan (02:55):
Okay.
Myke (02:59):
She's pissed, so can't wait to smell that one.
But first you know what wegotta do we gotta take that old
time machine back and talk aboutmadagascar, that clone by
insider parfums hit the music.
Ryan (03:17):
Todd One Night Stand Review.
Well, mike, after laying in bedwith Dan Rothschild, oh yeah,
and smelling Madagascar, whichhe has a beautiful, I don't know
(03:38):
what he would call it, but likea 300 mil, like glass Flacon.
Yeah flacon, okay, filled withit.
It's a vintage Guerlain andit's like at the bottom of it
it's just like vanilla is justfalling.
Myke (03:52):
Crystallizing at the bottom of it, which he said is
the evidence of high qualitymaterials.
Apparently, if you're a Patreon, you would see the video of
that and you'd be able to lookat that beautiful ancient
Guerlain flacon.
Ryan (04:04):
And there's also really cool people in there.
Seriously, there's hundreds andthey're freaking amazing and
nice.
But what do you think?
Myke (04:12):
about the.
I thought you meant the video.
Like us, like we're awesomepeople in the video.
We're awesome.
I mean, you get to see my armsafter arm day and they were
looking pretty fucking swell.
Ryan (04:22):
He literally bragged about it, which was quite sad,
because I've seen this man holda pistol.
Myke (04:30):
Moving on, what did you think about Madagascar, ryan?
Ryan (04:36):
After the episode why'd you have to do that?
Why'd you have to do?
Myke (04:39):
that?
No, I'm just jealous.
I didn't think of the cutmyself.
Don't worry about the scarIt'll leave behind, right?
Ryan (04:48):
All right, he's going to be in the joke.
Yeah, fucking pumping iron.
Myke (04:56):
Before every video, I'm going to like we actually have
some dumbbells here.
I'm going to like get afreaking pump on.
It was a damn.
Ryan (05:04):
He's yoked out all the time.
Uh, I really did like it.
I told dan in the episode ifyou watch it or listen to it is
that I asked him.
I said do you feel proud ofthis?
And like, uh, do you feel likeit's like the most sophisticated
fragrance that you've created?
Right, and he goes look it's itis.
But yes, he was proud of it andhe did say the original smelled
(05:26):
very sophisticated, it's veryelegant.
Yeah, it is very elegantsmelling and one of the more
tolerable vanilla fragrancesthat I've personally smelled.
Myke (05:37):
Oh, it's really, really nice To me.
Call me partial If you like.
Mousse Ravageur, I think thiswill blow your fucking mind.
Ryan (05:46):
Yeah, I think so too.
Myke (05:47):
It's pretty impressive yeah because it's in that family
of masculine vanilla.
Yeah, it kind of has a littleattitude.
It's a little bit moreclassical smelling.
Ryan (06:02):
It is seriously sharp.
I would recommend anybody atthe, at the very least, if you
can get a sample of it, sampleit.
Myke (06:08):
It's yeah, it's pretty impressive, for sure yeah, that
you were just saying just ingeneral, and I think it helps us
honestly to not have smelledthe original, because your mind
wants to always go back to thatand sometimes, when you
experience something like thisone, it feels new, yeah, and so
there's an excitement.
(06:28):
I think we have to thatfragrance because we hadn't
smelled the original.
So we're not just like tryingto apple to apple this thing,
we're just enjoying a fragranceby itself.
That felt like a new experience, dude you know it was nice I
was.
Ryan (06:42):
I was pleasantly surprised , no jokes aside, and like not
giving a shit what dan thinksabout us or not, I'm being
serious like right, yeah, yeah,I was impressed with it.
Myke (06:50):
Well, guess what?
We have a bottle coming to usof that of madagascar.
Damn, and dan said we didn'thave to give it away.
So we should probably give itaway but if you're a patron,
it'll probably get.
Yeah, we'll give it.
We've already given one away,thanks to dan as well.
(07:13):
We sent that over to our friendsteven from the patreon,
because he's over landlockedwith him yeah, over there, so
he's able to ship it at a, youknow, a cheaper rate.
He said for some reason ittakes too long to get to him but
it's not like crazy expensiveon the shipping, whereas
shipping something to Americawould be.
(07:33):
So he's going to send us thisbottle.
I will fill up my two decantsthat Chris Fragmental gave me.
So I, you know I'll get thefull bottle.
I'm just being honest here.
No, that's fine.
Ryan (07:47):
I'm going to wear it.
It's seriously really good andI think whoever ends up getting
it is going to be I knowStephen's going to like it when
he gets it, but I'm pretty sureanybody gets the bottle we get
sent to us here in the States.
Right, they're going to enjoyit.
Absolutely.
Yeah, there you go.
There's our one night standreview of Madagascar by Insider
Parfums Also a good friend ofours, dan the fragrance weirdo,
yeah.
(08:10):
And now let's smell old KirkyBoy.
I'm really hyped for thisbecause we looked at the notes
and, like, the top notes areraspberry and peach yeah, which
we're both big fans of.
I love peach in a fragrance.
Mike could seriously eat apeach for.
Yeah, which we're both big fansof.
I love peach in a fragrance.
Mike could seriously eat apeach for hours, for hours.
Hmm, okay, was not what I wasexpecting.
Myke (08:40):
I'm going to have to give it a minute because I'm getting
a ton of alcohol right now.
Ryan (08:43):
Really Okay.
Yeah, on my skin, hmm, wow, theon my skin, hmm, wow, the skin
is pretty badass, I think Isprayed it too close.
Myke (08:50):
What a fucking amateur move.
God damn it.
Ryan (08:58):
He'll be mad at himself all fucking day.
Myke (09:00):
Oh dude, you rocked me when you were just freaking,
emasculating my muscles.
Just haven't recovered.
Ryan (09:06):
Wow, okay, so let me double check this before I say
this really quick, okay nowwe're getting into it.
Myke (09:13):
It kind of bubble gummy.
Ryan (09:15):
Yeah, it kind of actually reminds me of like those creamy
Werther's or whatever we'vegotten before.
Really, yeah, like the fruityones, yeah, but like it's that
mixture of fruit with the cream.
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, cream savers, dude, Ithought I saw.
Yeah, it does say this it's aradiant eau de parfum capturing
the irresistible allure of tuttifrutti candy.
(09:37):
Which tutti frutti?
I don't remember ever havingtutti frutti candy.
Did you ever have that?
maybe it's a french thing, uh,wrapped in a variety of embrace
of white musk.
This invokes the creamy warmthof vanilla and musk, creating a
delightful gourmand experience.
That's where I was going to getout.
This is very gourmandy, butmaybe because I just love sweets
(09:58):
so much.
Yeah, this is an easy gourmandfor me, and y'all know me if you
know the history of this show Ifucking hate gourmands.
But, right at the gate.
This is pretty fun.
This is pretty nice.
Myke (10:09):
I don't think you like the warm savory gourmands
Definitely not.
This smells like candy.
Ryan (10:17):
It honestly smells like you walked into a fucking
legitimate candy shop.
You know what I mean?
Myke (10:24):
Yeah, or you know how you get the big bags of assorted
candy yeah, that for likehalloween or whatever and you
open up the bag and you cansmell all the different candies,
but the bubble gum is like moreprominent.
Ryan (10:38):
Yeah, that's kind of what this smells like to me I could
see that and I can also see Idon't know where we were at,
just really but like, almostlike a bag of different
saltwater taffies, oh yeah Icould just a mixture of
different types of whateverfruity candy it's more rounded
on the card.
Myke (10:55):
On my skin it's very one note.
It's very like this bubble gumwrapper sort of a smell on the
card.
Ryan (11:02):
I smell more like the peach and stuff is it perplexing
you a little bit, because whenwe saw raspberry and peach, I
thought this was going to have areally sharp, but it's not.
You said, right, it's reallyrounded and really smooth.
Yeah, it's like creamy, but Ithought we were going to spray
this on and we're going to havethis really bursty, tart blast.
That was like really, you know,bright.
Yeah, it's still bright in itsown way, but it is man and this
(11:25):
is considered unisex, by the way, right do you?
Myke (11:29):
believe that.
I mean there's no laws againsta guy wearing this, but might be
shocked if you did so.
Ryan (11:38):
Is this a fragrance you I guess we'll have to wait till
later but be thinking about, isthis a fragrance you could see
yourself wearing or not?
Briefly, let me hit you withthe price and popularity yes,
make it brief 2.4 ounces and avery beautiful peachy mfk bottle
(12:05):
which I do like the color of.
I like to look.
Yeah, it's a beautiful bottleit is, you're looking at, about
245 dollars.
For how much?
2.4 ounces?
Hmm, what's like 75 mil orsomething around that.
Myke (12:18):
Yeah, that's not bad, it's not it's a.
Ryan (12:22):
It's a little up there to smell, like you know, bubble gum
in a halloween bag.
It's got a very alarming ratingthough okay 3.31 out of5, so
very mid yes, it's the price tag.
Myke (12:39):
A lot of the people were complaining that it smells like
a room spray for high dollarfragrance price wow, you're not
for real.
Ryan (12:50):
Guys on the tester strip I am getting now I'm getting the
bubble gum that you get atHalloween.
That hard as hell.
Your teeth will come out ofyour bubble, yeah.
Come out of your fucking gumswhile you're chewing it, yeah.
Myke (13:02):
The kids always get irritated because you get those
bags at a discount.
Oh yeah, it's kind of likeyou're shopping at one of those
evil gray markets, but anyways,they always get irritated
because the whoppers that comein there my kids love whoppers,
the whoppers that come in thosebags you don't like them.
(13:22):
No what I don't like thetexture of having a crunch
through them Like chewing thatchocolate covered malt.
Ryan (13:31):
No, oh my god.
Myke (13:32):
Do you mind?
I'm talking about my children,ryan.
Okay, stop making it about me.
So they always complain becausethe whoppers taste like the
bubble gum.
Okay, you know, because they'reall kind of married in there,
they get a little soupy, yeah,through like thin cheap plastic,
right yeah.
So they're like.
It's just not the same To me.
(13:54):
If I could cut the Whoppers inhalf and like put them in milk
or something, I'd be fine withit.
But I don't like the drycrunchy feeling against my teeth
with a sweet.
Ryan (14:04):
Let me tell you what my mom used to get.
And I Let me tell you what mymom used to get, and I used to
get them as well, because sheraised me.
This is back in the day whenSonic Drive-Thru actually used
to be good.
Myke (14:16):
Oh yes, if you're not in the States, sonic is America's
favorite drive-in.
Apparently that's their slogan.
Ryan (14:22):
Yeah, you used to be able to pull up.
You can still do it.
Push a button and you talk tosomebody.
They used to roller skate foodout.
Yeah, do it.
Push a button and you know youtalk to somebody.
They, they used to roller skatefood out.
Yeah, it's true, they don't dothat anymore.
Yeah, too many people died.
Uh, our local sonic it'susually the chef comes out and
gives you the food.
Yeah, because it's one personworking.
It is.
It's the saddest state ofaffair I've ever seen.
Yeah, but back in its prime.
(14:44):
Now they still make milkshakes.
They've done the thing wherethey jump the shark.
They make like peanut butterand jelly, milkshakes and
everything else.
Myke (14:52):
Right, yeah, they're like the chocolate-covered nerds
earthquake, milkshake or somedumb shit.
Yeah, it's all stupid.
Ryan (14:57):
But back then they had a very linear one.
They had one just a chocolatemalt shake and we would ask for
extra malt.
So that kind of flavor and man,one of the best.
They don't even carry malt inthe Sonic Drive-Thru anymore,
known for its fucking shakes,and chocolate malt shakes are
(15:17):
like an American pastime, yeah.
Myke (15:20):
Guys, you should see the way you're flapping your arms
around.
Ryan (15:23):
I look like Flappy Bird right now.
Myke (15:25):
I'm fucking pissed.
Yeah, he's like basically doingjumping jacks.
He's so upset, dude.
Ryan (15:31):
Well, it drives me crazy.
Why is it that we get peoplethat come in?
They come into an establishment, they go.
Oh, that's what the Americantradition is, yeah.
Myke (15:39):
Let's change it up.
Rarely will you ever find aplace that goes been doing it
the same way since 1957.
Because we have a place that wego to for lunch and we go there
and it's like the first dayafter a new person's bought it,
and so my gut reaction tohearing that was to pull our
(15:59):
server aside and go just fuckingshoot us straight.
Is he gonna come in here andwreck shit this?
Actually happened yeah, I swearto god I go.
Are the prices going up?
Is the quality going down?
Ryan (16:10):
lunchtime they're genius, everything on their menu, on
their lunch menu they have likethis big lunch menu.
Everything that you find onthere is ten dollars, ten bucks
and it's really well done.
Myke (16:21):
Well like, if you get a burger, it's a badass burger,
yeah, they're.
They have a pulled porksandwich that I get it's badass,
it's so good, and that's.
They have a pulled porksandwich that I get it's badass,
it's so good, and that'sanother story.
Ryan (16:31):
the pulled pork sandwich oh yeah, he's been having a
conundrum with that shit.
Myke (16:33):
God, I'm already seeing problems here.
But the first thing I'm like Iknow they're going to go.
Oh man, you know what Thingsare.
I'm looking at the numbers here.
I think we need to go to thosefrozen beef patties, buy them in
bulk and then they tastedifferent.
Everybody can remember backwhen shit used to be better.
Ryan (16:53):
Do you want to know how bitter me and Mike can get?
We're there at this place?
This is prior to the new owner,but the previous owner.
We kept going how badass thisfood was.
Yeah, and I asked Mike I waslike you think they make onion
rings here?
I bet you they're badass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so onion rings here, I betyou they're badass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so I asked the lady or theserver, you know she's like yeah
, we make them, but they don'tmake them as a side.
(17:14):
They only make two to put on aspecific burger.
Myke (17:16):
Right, and it has something to do with the kitchen
being small and some like weirdcontamination thing yeah,
because their onions are anallergy and so like they have
batter that they're gonna fryfish in and you know whatever
name it.
So they have their batter forthat, but they would have to
have a special batter for onions, yeah.
(17:37):
And so she was just like wecan't just have massive vats of
batter just for the onions, wedon't have enough space.
So they have a small thingwhere they just do two at a time
, made to order, and she's likethey are badass, but you have to
get the sandwich that has themon it, god it, just it drives me
nuts.
Ryan (17:57):
I want, I want to try these, but I don't want to have
to try them on the burger, Iguess, until I'm on the side.
Myke (18:01):
yeah, you could, and you would have two onion rings to
eat burger, but you.
But you know, that's just thething.
It kind of hits you wrong, butyou just go oh, somebody else
bought this place.
They're going to change it up,because we're used to your malt
story where it's like they usedto do this one thing and now
they don't.
(18:21):
And you caught us, you reeledus in.
You know, it's like all yourrelationships in high school and
college.
It's like all yourrelationships in high school and
college.
It's like, oh, you fell in lovewith this person.
Now that you're dating them,they're like, oh, low effort.
Now they're not the same personthey used to be, you know.
Ryan (18:38):
I think a lot of people go through the old bait and switch
.
Oh yeah, everybody always givestheir best foot forward in a
relationship when they're firststarting off Like oh my God,
he's so sweet.
Myke (18:47):
He pays for everything, and then he's like yeah, I will
say it's probably mostly guysthat do that.
Ryan (18:53):
You think?
Myke (18:54):
so yeah, because I know a few gals, really, women don't
change that much.
Ryan (18:59):
Really, I don't know.
I think everybody's guilty.
Myke (19:04):
Well, everybody's a little guilty.
I think guys are more guilty.
The guy's just not showing upwith the kids, he's just staying
late at work just to be gone.
Yeah, he's phoning it in.
I mean it sounds like 90% ofdudes that are married.
Ryan (19:31):
I mean, there's also women that do certain things.
No women are perfect.
Then they women that do certainthings no women are perfect.
Then they don't do thosecertain things.
And you're like what happenedto that certain thing?
I used to like that certainthing.
Myke (19:44):
Yeah, You're like.
I used to love this specificcasserole you'd make.
Now you never make it.
You used to make key limebutter when you would grill my
salmon.
Now you don't.
Dude, you've changed.
I want out of this shit.
Ryan (20:00):
It drives me crazy, though , if I tell anybody I really
like something they make andthey never make it again.
Yeah, I'm like what is thefucking logic If somebody
literally gushes to me like ohmy God, ryan, the cheeseburgers
you made the way you made them.
Oh my fucking God, I love them.
Yeah.
Myke (20:17):
I'm like I'll make these.
At least Every time I see thisperson, I'm going to make this,
I'll make them.
Yeah, I was the same way andI'm sorry I did this to you.
But Ryan, again he has thiscurse.
He tells somebody I love whenyou made this.
Time you were like I love whenyou made a million dollars, mike
(20:38):
, and I haven't made it since.
I've got to go fund me.
Ryan (20:40):
Guys, dad jokes well, who do you see wearing it?
Yeah, it's very feminine yeah,it feels feminine, it feels
(21:07):
mid-20s but I will say dramalola diva might be onto
something, because I'm notsmelling a lot of it right now.
It is soft, quickly becomingnose blind to this, at the very
least.
Myke (21:19):
Yeah, I think we have to be careful of two things.
One, we sprayed it out of thistiny fucking sample decant, yeah
, or carded sample, and thenalso we're smelling the hell out
of it, so we could be makingourselves a little nose blind.
Ryan (21:31):
I re-upped and, yeah, I can smell it right now.
I think she might be ontosomething.
I think it's going to fall offa fucking cliff, which sucks,
because, god, the opening is socreamy, fruity candy to me, yes,
and it has that kind ofmolecule of one thing.
Myke (21:50):
At first I was like oh man , it's the alcohol.
I keep smelling this alcohol.
There's something in there.
I don't think it's alcohol'stutti frutti, maybe.
Ryan (22:01):
maybe it's sugar alcohols are you gonna skip it, sample it
or?
Myke (22:05):
buy it.
What are you gonna do, ryan?
Ryan (22:09):
I mean as a guy, this is a easy skip.
It leans way more feminine,maybe unit six, but leans way
more feminine.
It is fun, but alsoisex, but itleans way more feminine.
It is fun but also that itseems to die down pretty quick
and at that price point.
Those couple of factors I'm out.
Myke (22:25):
It's so funny that the episode we just did for Ormond
Woman we argued about thewearability as a man even being
labeled woman, but this that'slabeled unisex and we're both
like it feels extremely feminine, very feminine.
That being said, would smellamazing on a woman.
Sure, I do feel like it's alittle too youthful though, hmm,
(22:45):
for like type of gals.
Ryan (22:48):
So then, what we didn't really say.
But what age is this, do youthink?
I think mid twenties.
Yeah, I could see that.
Myke (22:58):
It's light, it's youthful, it's very candy, very bubble
gum.
Ryan (22:59):
I'm serious when I say that this is really pretty Out
the gate.
This thing is gorgeous andwould smell incredible on a
woman.
Yeah.
Myke (23:06):
I think we just need to.
Sometimes it's tough with acarded sample to really know the
kind of, you know, dispersionand that sort of thing that's
going to happen with an actualatomizer.
Ryan (23:18):
Yeah Makes you wonder should all houses just do at the
very least a 5 mil atomizer oftheir samples for things, so
people can really get a goodwearing out of it?
What's that like?
Myke (23:30):
two or three.
I think it's a 2 mil.
Yeah, typically, I think whatwe just need to do is actually
just split the sample and justspray the hell out of it when we
do an episode on a card sampleright there.
Yeah, I think so because youprobably, when you do a full
wearing of something, you'reprobably going to do a mil or
two.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Ryan (23:52):
I feel like I wear that whole thing when I wear my real
fragrances.
Myke (23:55):
Yeah, I feel like I wear that whole thing when I wear my
real fragrances.
Yeah, I wouldn't doubt if youwere spraying two, three mil, I
definitely would, because I willspray carbon sometimes, like
you wear a fragrance, I'll spraythe shit out of it and I'll
look and I'll go.
Damn, I just put a dent in thatthing.
I feel like a damp librarian.
Let me say one thing reallyquickly about prada lunarosa
(24:17):
carbon this is so funny becausesteve just posted a video
talking about how we pretty muchtalk about carbon every fucking
episode look, I swear to god wehave no ties to this dumb ass
company okay, that should proveit he's lying.
Ryan (24:33):
We get uh royalties from it I wish we did, but going to
tell you what they better.
At least pay for a fuckingheadstone when we're gone,
because of all the Made out ofcarbon, yeah, of all the
fragrances that we go back to.
That is one of them, and look,people may hate it, I just don't
care that one.
I just always go back to when Ismell it, for the price,
(24:55):
everything that shit smellsincredible.
It is high end as hell.
Yeah, I do love it.
I really do.
Myke (25:01):
Yeah, this one's a skip for me.
It's a skip for me too.
That's not saying it's a badfragrance.
It smells gorgeous, dude.
It is not us at all, but thatdoesn't make it bad, I think,
for the right person.
Ladies, ladies, ladies or guys.
If you're really looking for afeminine fragrance, gentlemen,
this is that.
I mean.
It is nice.
(25:21):
I'm curious to see if it doeswear really light.
That was a massive complaintabout this in the comment
section.
Ryan (25:30):
I'm starting to believe it .
That would be my complaint too.
Myke (25:33):
But it's like are people coming into MFfk from baccarat
to this and going what the fuck?
This isn't, because baccarat,we know, is loud, proud, strong
long down to get the friction100, 100, yeah.
Ryan (25:47):
Yeah, I don't know, it's definitely a skip.
I do recommend to any femaleout there.
If you smell it, you may likethis might be a.
Maybe you don't want some tolast long either too.
Myke (25:57):
It's true I like lighter fragrances.
I'll go to my carbon fiberheadstone, paid for by Prada,
saying it.
So I don't have any problemwith this being a lighter
fragrance, but it shouldn't bethis light, not for that price
tag.
Ryan (26:14):
Guess old Kirky was just hanging out in candy shops all
the time?
Huh, probably.
I mean wouldn light not forthat price tag.
Guess old kirky was justhanging out in candy shops all
time.
Huh, probably.
I mean, wouldn't you as a kid?
Yeah, I definitely would this.
To me the opening smells sogood I feel like this is an
important question.
Myke (26:25):
What was your go-to candy?
You have to pick one fromchildhood.
Ryan (26:28):
Wow, from childhood one man that just got all the time.
Fuck, that is a hard one.
They don't make them like theyused to.
Okay, I'm going to give you myfavorite and then honorable
mention.
That's close, all right.
There's one that they don'tmake it like they used to.
Myke (26:49):
There's one they don't make anymore, to my knowledge
I'm going to tell you mine, andthen my honorable mention will
be my grandmother's.
Okay, we both had one that itwas like a go-to if we were
going to sneak a little A littlesweet too.
Ryan (27:03):
The one they don't make it like they used to is Shock
Tarks when it first came out.
Myke (27:08):
Oh God, I forgot about those things.
Do they even still make those?
They do, oh, really, and theyusually make them in the tiny
versions now and stuff.
Ryan (27:14):
But when Shock and they usually make them in the tiny
versions now and stuff but whenshark tarts first came out, it
came in like a little likealmost shimmery looking bag.
It was like a bunch oflightning patterns on it.
Myke (27:23):
It was a black bag with the lightning.
Ryan (27:25):
Yeah, I remember it and when you'd eat like five of
those, it would literally burn ahole in your fucking tongue
because it's so acidic yeah,that's the version I miss I love
are probably laws that came outthat prevent that type of shit
now Probably so yeah.
Myke (27:39):
But my go-to thing with that they're like we actually
just would milk nine-voltbatteries.
Ryan (27:43):
Probably so, dude, I used to get that in water.
For some reason, when I eatsomething really sour, I love
chasing it down with some water.
I don't know why.
Myke (27:51):
I don't know if.
Ryan (27:52):
I'm the only one out there , let me know if I'm not.
Myke (27:54):
But I would choose to do it with water.
Is Ryan the only person whodrinks water out there?
Ryan (27:57):
Let us know I don't know what I mean.
I'm like literally swishing itwith the salad.
Myke (28:01):
Oh, okay, I don't know.
Ryan (28:03):
But then the other candy that I used to fucking love that
I don't make anymore, was acandy called Bonkers.
I think I've mentioned it toyou before.
Uh-uh, hubba, bubba gum orwhatever they call it, yeah, but
it was like.
It was a, you know, almost likelaffy taffy in a way too, not
as thick, but the flavor isreally good.
It used to be like a blueberryone I used to really love this
(28:24):
isn't mine, but I just want todo.
Myke (28:26):
You remember like the tube of gum?
You could get tube of gum.
Yeah, it was like almost like apaste.
It would come in like atoothpaste tube.
I do not remember.
You don't remember those?
Oh man, that was the wildestshit.
Uh, my favorite was thebutterfinger.
Growing up I loved butterfingerand then absolutely devastated
(28:50):
when they reformulated it.
Ryan (28:52):
I'm trying to remember the original of it, how it was.
Oh man, I feel like growing up,when I would eat a butterfinger
it's kind of like a granola barit'd be all over you yeah, a
little bit.
Myke (29:01):
Yeah, yeah, which is part of the fun too well knowing that
now because we just recentlytried it.
Ryan (29:05):
What do you think about the butterfinger ice cream bar
that we bought?
Myke (29:08):
oh, it was good.
It doesn't anywhere touch.
Touch the candy, yeah, or thesnickers one, which is the
snickers ice cream bar, is I, isthe Snickers ice cream bar is.
Ryan (29:17):
I think the Snickers ice cream bar is better than the
actual fucking Snickers bar,absolutely it's ridiculous.
Myke (29:23):
So my honorable mention.
My grandmother loved Baby Ruthcandy bars.
Ryan (29:29):
That has to be an older person, because my dad that was
his exact same favorite oneProbably, yeah, probably came
out at around the time wherethey could really appreciate it
and I love that candy too.
Myke (29:33):
Yeah, older personally, because my dad, yeah, that was
his exact same favorite oneprobably yeah, probably came out
at around the time where theycould really appreciate it and I
love that candy too.
Yeah, I I'll eat the hell outof it.
I remember when my grandmotherfinally got dentures she was so
excited because she could eatbaby ruth candy bars again I'm
(29:55):
about to take these bad boys fora spin a hundred percent.
That's awesome, dude.
Yeah, she was pumped.
Ryan (30:04):
I swear to god, I've never known this about your
grandmother, my dad yeah, I'mthe same thing.
Yeah, that's crazy.
I, they're both.
You know my dad was a oldergentleman.
So, uh, dude, that is crazy.
Yeah, yeah, that is I think.
I mean I'm assuming that cameout probably around Babe Ruth
era or something stupid likethat Maybe.
Yeah, I'm assuming I could bevery wrong, but I mean it's kind
(30:27):
of close.
So him being so popularprobably was a huge candy for
people back then.
Myke (30:32):
Probably was, and they're good, they are so good.
But man, but man growing up Idon't know what it was.
If I could get a candy bar, itwas a butterfinger and I was
like nobody was gonna lay afinger on my butterfinger you
were the original to coin thatyeah, it's true this makes me I
(30:53):
mean, look, guys, you, just youhear it so much with us on this,
on these podcast episodes.
Ryan (30:59):
We obviously love food, right, yeah, there's some people
I think just exist or just like, yeah, just you know they'll
eat whatever, but like, yeah, wecall those healthy people.
Yeah, we hate when a meal isnot like superb.
You know what I mean.
Right, yeah, which makes me go.
We really we've been saying itoff and on, but we've really got
to do another episode of eatthe menu.
(31:20):
Yeah, for sure, because I mean,we love to talk to each other
and we love to eat.
Myke (31:27):
We might as well get paid to do it 100, and we've already
been.
Ryan (31:30):
We've actually been tossing this back and forth for
the past couple weeks now, butwe're like because you know this
, guys, every time we do anytype of job, we have to
celebrate with a fucking dipcone.
Myke (31:38):
For some reason yeah, if it was a bad job, we kind of
drowned our sorrows and thendipped ice cream cone.
It was a good job, we hey, whynot celebrate?
With it it was just a midday.
We're like you know what?
Ryan (31:49):
make this day a little bit better dip cone so much so that
we're like when we we do theEat, the Menu episodes, every
episode has to have a quick.
We're eating a dip cone andwe're going to rate this dip
cone from this place.
Myke (32:02):
Yeah, that's what we've kind of been thinking about
adding at the end.
I think it works, just becausewe eat so many of them.
Now we're kind of like we knowhow the consistency of the
chocolate should be on the outershell yes, and then how the ice
cream should be, the texturethere yes, and then how the ice
cream should be the texture.
Ryan (32:18):
There's different textures of it.
We know when cones are reallyfresh.
Yeah, somewhat fresh, stale asfuck.
Yeah, we're like professionalsat dip cone, which is really
embarrassing to admit, but it'sthe truth well, because we've
spent the 10 000 hours gettingthere.
Myke (32:33):
We're like, uh, have you seen those memes where it's like
you know the script and it'slike her, and then it's like
what that tongue do, and thenit's like me, and then it shows
ice cream cones where you'vesculpted out like different,
like impossible sculptures.
You know, yeah, this is likethe statue of david sculpt out
(32:56):
with the your freaking tongue.
Ryan (32:58):
We can basically do that now probably as many ice cream
cones that we've eaten so we cantake one bite and know that the
cone's about to be a disaster.
Yeah, like literally we'reabout to have it all over us.
All I have to do is lick thetip and until next time, spray
it up y'all.
hello everybody, welcome to a very sneaky episode of the
cologne podcast.
Sneaky, yeah, because wereleased one the other day, oh,
which, if you're not a patron,become one, because there's the
video of that on the patreon.
Myke (00:17):
Oh, that's true, yeah, you get to watch it and it's uncut,
very uncut which also means,yeah, that todd didn't do it.
Ryan (00:25):
He didn't lift a fucking finger.
Myke (00:26):
That's what that means.
He's like I've got a great idea, guys, just post it.
We said, okay, we'll do it, tryit, todd.
And then he sent an invoice forthat.
Ryan (00:40):
Today we're smelling on yet another fragrance Again.
If you're a patron, you wouldknow that we have an upcoming
episode where we smell OrmondJane, mm-hmm.
Ormond Woman.
Mike got a Travital Mouser fromNeiman's, I'm assuming that's
right.
This is why you're in the Big D.
You also got a carded sample ofa Mason Francis Kershaw
(01:00):
fragrance that's right, calledKirky oh Kirky fragrance that's
right, called Kirky, oh Kirky.
Kirky has a little bit of alittle write-up in here.
By the way, when you open upthe card, it's a sample.
It looks like children havedrawn all over it Uh-huh, but it
says Kirky is a poeticinvitation to reveal our inner
child with a burst ofspontaneous, carefree laughter.
Kirky with its fruity muskynotes, encourage us to see life
(01:24):
in color and be filled withwonder again.
Myke (01:28):
Yes, the reason why this is so childlike in nature is
apparently.
I mean, I'm shocked.
They must have been idiots, butFrancis Kirkjohn's friends
growing up could not pronounceKirkjohn, so they had to call
him Kirky.
I kind of like that.
Yeah, so this is like aninspired fragrance of his youth
(01:50):
and bringing back these fondmemories of childhood and stuff
like that playing with friendsand having a carefree life, you
know, before bills came andcrushed his soul.
Yeah, mm-hmm, life sucks, itdoes it does suck.
Life sucks, it does it doessuck.
But maybe this review fromdrama lola diva might just boost
(02:11):
your spirits, ryan.
It's a joke of a fragrance,honestly you said this again
drama lola diva.
She says it's a joke of afragrance.
Honestly, it's not how itsmells, it's how it doesn't.
I sprayed it generously on mywrist and nothing, nothing.
(02:36):
So don't tell me it's personal,because it ain't, and at that
price, why bother?
And then like a bunch of emojisthat are like rolling their
eyes, what's?
Ryan (02:49):
her name.
Drama alert Drama.
Myke (02:50):
Drama Lola Diva Like Lolita Maybe.
Ryan (02:55):
Okay.
Myke (02:59):
She's pissed, so can't wait to smell that one.
But first you know what wegotta do we gotta take that old
time machine back and talk aboutmadagascar, that clone by
insider parfums hit the music.
Ryan (03:17):
Todd One Night Stand Review.
Well, mike, after laying in bedwith Dan Rothschild, oh yeah,
and smelling Madagascar, whichhe has a beautiful, I don't know
(03:38):
what he would call it, but likea 300 mil, like glass Flacon.
Yeah flacon, okay, filled withit.
It's a vintage Guerlain andit's like at the bottom of it
it's just like vanilla is justfalling.
Myke (03:52):
Crystallizing at the bottom of it, which he said is
the evidence of high qualitymaterials.
Apparently, if you're a Patreon, you would see the video of
that and you'd be able to lookat that beautiful ancient
Guerlain flacon.
Ryan (04:04):
And there's also really cool people in there.
Seriously, there's hundreds andthey're freaking amazing and
nice.
But what do you think?
Myke (04:12):
about the.
I thought you meant the video.
Like us, like we're awesomepeople in the video.
We're awesome.
I mean, you get to see my armsafter arm day and they were
looking pretty fucking swell.
Ryan (04:22):
He literally bragged about it, which was quite sad,
because I've seen this man holda pistol.
Myke (04:30):
Moving on, what did you think about Madagascar, ryan?
Ryan (04:36):
After the episode why'd you have to do that?
Why'd you have to do?
Myke (04:39):
that?
No, I'm just jealous.
I didn't think of the cutmyself.
Don't worry about the scarIt'll leave behind, right?
Ryan (04:48):
All right, he's going to be in the joke.
Yeah, fucking pumping iron.
Myke (04:56):
Before every video, I'm going to like we actually have
some dumbbells here.
I'm going to like get afreaking pump on.
It was a damn.
Ryan (05:04):
He's yoked out all the time.
Uh, I really did like it.
I told dan in the episode ifyou watch it or listen to it is
that I asked him.
I said do you feel proud ofthis?
And like, uh, do you feel likeit's like the most sophisticated
fragrance that you've created?
Right, and he goes look it's itis.
But yes, he was proud of it andhe did say the original smelled
(05:26):
very sophisticated, it's veryelegant.
Yeah, it is very elegantsmelling and one of the more
tolerable vanilla fragrancesthat I've personally smelled.
Myke (05:37):
Oh, it's really, really nice To me.
Call me partial If you like.
Mousse Ravageur, I think thiswill blow your fucking mind.
Ryan (05:46):
Yeah, I think so too.
Myke (05:47):
It's pretty impressive yeah because it's in that family
of masculine vanilla.
Yeah, it kind of has a littleattitude.
It's a little bit moreclassical smelling.
Ryan (06:02):
It is seriously sharp.
I would recommend anybody atthe, at the very least, if you
can get a sample of it, sampleit.
Myke (06:08):
It's yeah, it's pretty impressive, for sure yeah, that
you were just saying just ingeneral, and I think it helps us
honestly to not have smelledthe original, because your mind
wants to always go back to thatand sometimes, when you
experience something like thisone, it feels new, yeah, and so
there's an excitement.
(06:28):
I think we have to thatfragrance because we hadn't
smelled the original.
So we're not just like tryingto apple to apple this thing,
we're just enjoying a fragranceby itself.
That felt like a new experience, dude you know it was nice I
was.
Ryan (06:42):
I was pleasantly surprised , no jokes aside, and like not
giving a shit what dan thinksabout us or not, I'm being
serious like right, yeah, yeah,I was impressed with it.
Myke (06:50):
Well, guess what?
We have a bottle coming to usof that of madagascar.
Damn, and dan said we didn'thave to give it away.
So we should probably give itaway but if you're a patron,
it'll probably get.
Yeah, we'll give it.
We've already given one away,thanks to dan as well.
(07:13):
We sent that over to our friendsteven from the patreon,
because he's over landlockedwith him yeah, over there, so
he's able to ship it at a, youknow, a cheaper rate.
He said for some reason ittakes too long to get to him but
it's not like crazy expensiveon the shipping, whereas
shipping something to Americawould be.
(07:33):
So he's going to send us thisbottle.
I will fill up my two decantsthat Chris Fragmental gave me.
So I, you know I'll get thefull bottle.
I'm just being honest here.
No, that's fine.
Ryan (07:47):
I'm going to wear it.
It's seriously really good andI think whoever ends up getting
it is going to be I knowStephen's going to like it when
he gets it, but I'm pretty sureanybody gets the bottle we get
sent to us here in the States.
Right, they're going to enjoyit.
Absolutely.
Yeah, there you go.
There's our one night standreview of Madagascar by Insider
Parfums Also a good friend ofours, dan the fragrance weirdo,
yeah.
(08:10):
And now let's smell old KirkyBoy.
I'm really hyped for thisbecause we looked at the notes
and, like, the top notes areraspberry and peach yeah, which
we're both big fans of.
I love peach in a fragrance.
Mike could seriously eat apeach for.
Yeah, which we're both big fansof.
I love peach in a fragrance.
Mike could seriously eat apeach for hours, for hours.
Hmm, okay, was not what I wasexpecting.
Myke (08:40):
I'm going to have to give it a minute because I'm getting
a ton of alcohol right now.
Ryan (08:43):
Really Okay.
Yeah, on my skin, hmm, wow, theon my skin, hmm, wow, the skin
is pretty badass, I think Isprayed it too close.
Myke (08:50):
What a fucking amateur move.
God damn it.
Ryan (08:58):
He'll be mad at himself all fucking day.
Myke (09:00):
Oh dude, you rocked me when you were just freaking,
emasculating my muscles.
Just haven't recovered.
Ryan (09:06):
Wow, okay, so let me double check this before I say
this really quick, okay nowwe're getting into it.
Myke (09:13):
It kind of bubble gummy.
Ryan (09:15):
Yeah, it kind of actually reminds me of like those creamy
Werther's or whatever we'vegotten before.
Really, yeah, like the fruityones, yeah, but like it's that
mixture of fruit with the cream.
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, cream savers, dude, Ithought I saw.
Yeah, it does say this it's aradiant eau de parfum capturing
the irresistible allure of tuttifrutti candy.
(09:37):
Which tutti frutti?
I don't remember ever havingtutti frutti candy.
Did you ever have that?
maybe it's a french thing, uh,wrapped in a variety of embrace
of white musk.
This invokes the creamy warmthof vanilla and musk, creating a
delightful gourmand experience.
That's where I was going to getout.
This is very gourmandy, butmaybe because I just love sweets
(09:58):
so much.
Yeah, this is an easy gourmandfor me, and y'all know me if you
know the history of this show Ifucking hate gourmands.
But, right at the gate.
This is pretty fun.
This is pretty nice.
Myke (10:09):
I don't think you like the warm savory gourmands
Definitely not.
This smells like candy.
Ryan (10:17):
It honestly smells like you walked into a fucking
legitimate candy shop.
You know what I mean?
Myke (10:24):
Yeah, or you know how you get the big bags of assorted
candy yeah, that for likehalloween or whatever and you
open up the bag and you cansmell all the different candies,
but the bubble gum is like moreprominent.
Ryan (10:38):
Yeah, that's kind of what this smells like to me I could
see that and I can also see Idon't know where we were at,
just really but like, almostlike a bag of different
saltwater taffies, oh yeah Icould just a mixture of
different types of whateverfruity candy it's more rounded
on the card.
Myke (10:55):
On my skin it's very one note.
It's very like this bubble gumwrapper sort of a smell on the
card.
Ryan (11:02):
I smell more like the peach and stuff is it perplexing
you a little bit, because whenwe saw raspberry and peach, I
thought this was going to have areally sharp, but it's not.
You said, right, it's reallyrounded and really smooth.
Yeah, it's like creamy, but Ithought we were going to spray
this on and we're going to havethis really bursty, tart blast.
That was like really, you know,bright.
Yeah, it's still bright in itsown way, but it is man and this
(11:25):
is considered unisex, by the way, right do you?
Myke (11:29):
believe that.
I mean there's no laws againsta guy wearing this, but might be
shocked if you did so.
Ryan (11:38):
Is this a fragrance you I guess we'll have to wait till
later but be thinking about, isthis a fragrance you could see
yourself wearing or not?
Briefly, let me hit you withthe price and popularity yes,
make it brief 2.4 ounces and avery beautiful peachy mfk bottle
(12:05):
which I do like the color of.
I like to look.
Yeah, it's a beautiful bottleit is, you're looking at, about
245 dollars.
For how much?
2.4 ounces?
Hmm, what's like 75 mil orsomething around that.
Myke (12:18):
Yeah, that's not bad, it's not it's a.
Ryan (12:22):
It's a little up there to smell, like you know, bubble gum
in a halloween bag.
It's got a very alarming ratingthough okay 3.31 out of5, so
very mid yes, it's the price tag.
Myke (12:39):
A lot of the people were complaining that it smells like
a room spray for high dollarfragrance price wow, you're not
for real.
Ryan (12:50):
Guys on the tester strip I am getting now I'm getting the
bubble gum that you get atHalloween.
That hard as hell.
Your teeth will come out ofyour bubble, yeah.
Come out of your fucking gumswhile you're chewing it, yeah.
Myke (13:02):
The kids always get irritated because you get those
bags at a discount.
Oh yeah, it's kind of likeyou're shopping at one of those
evil gray markets, but anyways,they always get irritated
because the whoppers that comein there my kids love whoppers,
the whoppers that come in thosebags you don't like them.
(13:22):
No what I don't like thetexture of having a crunch
through them Like chewing thatchocolate covered malt.
Ryan (13:31):
No, oh my god.
Myke (13:32):
Do you mind?
I'm talking about my children,ryan.
Okay, stop making it about me.
So they always complain becausethe whoppers taste like the
bubble gum.
Okay, you know, because they'reall kind of married in there,
they get a little soupy, yeah,through like thin cheap plastic,
right yeah.
So they're like.
It's just not the same To me.
(13:54):
If I could cut the Whoppers inhalf and like put them in milk
or something, I'd be fine withit.
But I don't like the drycrunchy feeling against my teeth
with a sweet.
Ryan (14:04):
Let me tell you what my mom used to get.
And I Let me tell you what mymom used to get, and I used to
get them as well, because sheraised me.
This is back in the day whenSonic Drive-Thru actually used
to be good.
Myke (14:16):
Oh yes, if you're not in the States, sonic is America's
favorite drive-in.
Apparently that's their slogan.
Ryan (14:22):
Yeah, you used to be able to pull up.
You can still do it.
Push a button and you talk tosomebody.
They used to roller skate foodout.
Yeah, do it.
Push a button and you know youtalk to somebody.
They, they used to roller skatefood out.
Yeah, it's true, they don't dothat anymore.
Yeah, too many people died.
Uh, our local sonic it'susually the chef comes out and
gives you the food.
Yeah, because it's one personworking.
It is.
It's the saddest state ofaffair I've ever seen.
Yeah, but back in its prime.
(14:44):
Now they still make milkshakes.
They've done the thing wherethey jump the shark.
They make like peanut butterand jelly, milkshakes and
everything else.
Myke (14:52):
Right, yeah, they're like the chocolate-covered nerds
earthquake, milkshake or somedumb shit.
Yeah, it's all stupid.
Ryan (14:57):
But back then they had a very linear one.
They had one just a chocolatemalt shake and we would ask for
extra malt.
So that kind of flavor and man,one of the best.
They don't even carry malt inthe Sonic Drive-Thru anymore,
known for its fucking shakes,and chocolate malt shakes are
(15:17):
like an American pastime, yeah.
Myke (15:20):
Guys, you should see the way you're flapping your arms
around.
Ryan (15:23):
I look like Flappy Bird right now.
Myke (15:25):
I'm fucking pissed.
Yeah, he's like basically doingjumping jacks.
He's so upset, dude.
Ryan (15:31):
Well, it drives me crazy.
Why is it that we get peoplethat come in?
They come into an establishment, they go.
Oh, that's what the Americantradition is, yeah.
Myke (15:39):
Let's change it up.
Rarely will you ever find aplace that goes been doing it
the same way since 1957.
Because we have a place that wego to for lunch and we go there
and it's like the first dayafter a new person's bought it,
and so my gut reaction tohearing that was to pull our
(15:59):
server aside and go just fuckingshoot us straight.
Is he gonna come in here andwreck shit this?
Actually happened yeah, I swearto god I go.
Are the prices going up?
Is the quality going down?
Ryan (16:10):
lunchtime they're genius, everything on their menu, on
their lunch menu they have likethis big lunch menu.
Everything that you find onthere is ten dollars, ten bucks
and it's really well done.
Myke (16:21):
Well like, if you get a burger, it's a badass burger,
yeah, they're.
They have a pulled porksandwich that I get it's badass,
it's so good, and that's.
They have a pulled porksandwich that I get it's badass,
it's so good, and that'sanother story.
Ryan (16:31):
the pulled pork sandwich oh yeah, he's been having a
conundrum with that shit.
Myke (16:33):
God, I'm already seeing problems here.
But the first thing I'm like Iknow they're going to go.
Oh man, you know what Thingsare.
I'm looking at the numbers here.
I think we need to go to thosefrozen beef patties, buy them in
bulk and then they tastedifferent.
Everybody can remember backwhen shit used to be better.
Ryan (16:53):
Do you want to know how bitter me and Mike can get?
We're there at this place?
This is prior to the new owner,but the previous owner.
We kept going how badass thisfood was.
Yeah, and I asked Mike I waslike you think they make onion
rings here?
I bet you they're badass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so onion rings here, I betyou they're badass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so I asked the lady or theserver, you know she's like yeah
, we make them, but they don'tmake them as a side.
(17:14):
They only make two to put on aspecific burger.
Myke (17:16):
Right, and it has something to do with the kitchen
being small and some like weirdcontamination thing yeah,
because their onions are anallergy and so like they have
batter that they're gonna fryfish in and you know whatever
name it.
So they have their batter forthat, but they would have to
have a special batter for onions, yeah.
(17:37):
And so she was just like wecan't just have massive vats of
batter just for the onions, wedon't have enough space.
So they have a small thingwhere they just do two at a time
, made to order, and she's likethey are badass, but you have to
get the sandwich that has themon it, god it, just it drives me
nuts.
Ryan (17:57):
I want, I want to try these, but I don't want to have
to try them on the burger, Iguess, until I'm on the side.
Myke (18:01):
yeah, you could, and you would have two onion rings to
eat burger, but you.
But you know, that's just thething.
It kind of hits you wrong, butyou just go oh, somebody else
bought this place.
They're going to change it up,because we're used to your malt
story where it's like they usedto do this one thing and now
they don't.
(18:21):
And you caught us, you reeledus in.
You know, it's like all yourrelationships in high school and
college.
It's like all yourrelationships in high school and
college.
It's like, oh, you fell in lovewith this person.
Now that you're dating them,they're like, oh, low effort.
Now they're not the same personthey used to be, you know.
Ryan (18:38):
I think a lot of people go through the old bait and switch
.
Oh yeah, everybody always givestheir best foot forward in a
relationship when they're firststarting off Like oh my God,
he's so sweet.
Myke (18:47):
He pays for everything, and then he's like yeah, I will
say it's probably mostly guysthat do that.
Ryan (18:53):
You think?
Myke (18:54):
so yeah, because I know a few gals, really, women don't
change that much.
Ryan (18:59):
Really, I don't know.
I think everybody's guilty.
Myke (19:04):
Well, everybody's a little guilty.
I think guys are more guilty.
The guy's just not showing upwith the kids, he's just staying
late at work just to be gone.
Yeah, he's phoning it in.
I mean it sounds like 90% ofdudes that are married.
Ryan (19:31):
I mean, there's also women that do certain things.
No women are perfect.
Then they women that do certainthings no women are perfect.
Then they don't do thosecertain things.
And you're like what happenedto that certain thing?
I used to like that certainthing.
Myke (19:44):
Yeah, You're like.
I used to love this specificcasserole you'd make.
Now you never make it.
You used to make key limebutter when you would grill my
salmon.
Now you don't.
Dude, you've changed.
I want out of this shit.
Ryan (20:00):
It drives me crazy, though , if I tell anybody I really
like something they make andthey never make it again.
Yeah, I'm like what is thefucking logic If somebody
literally gushes to me like ohmy God, ryan, the cheeseburgers
you made the way you made them.
Oh my fucking God, I love them.
Yeah.
Myke (20:17):
I'm like I'll make these.
At least Every time I see thisperson, I'm going to make this,
I'll make them.
Yeah, I was the same way andI'm sorry I did this to you.
But Ryan, again he has thiscurse.
He tells somebody I love whenyou made this.
Time you were like I love whenyou made a million dollars, mike
(20:38):
, and I haven't made it since.
I've got to go fund me.
Ryan (20:40):
Guys, dad jokes well, who do you see wearing it?
Yeah, it's very feminine yeah,it feels feminine, it feels
(21:07):
mid-20s but I will say dramalola diva might be onto
something, because I'm notsmelling a lot of it right now.
It is soft, quickly becomingnose blind to this, at the very
least.
Myke (21:19):
Yeah, I think we have to be careful of two things.
One, we sprayed it out of thistiny fucking sample decant, yeah
, or carded sample, and thenalso we're smelling the hell out
of it, so we could be makingourselves a little nose blind.
Ryan (21:31):
I re-upped and, yeah, I can smell it right now.
I think she might be ontosomething.
I think it's going to fall offa fucking cliff, which sucks,
because, god, the opening is socreamy, fruity candy to me, yes,
and it has that kind ofmolecule of one thing.
Myke (21:50):
At first I was like oh man , it's the alcohol.
I keep smelling this alcohol.
There's something in there.
I don't think it's alcohol'stutti frutti, maybe.
Ryan (22:01):
maybe it's sugar alcohols are you gonna skip it, sample it
or?
Myke (22:05):
buy it.
What are you gonna do, ryan?
Ryan (22:09):
I mean as a guy, this is a easy skip.
It leans way more feminine,maybe unit six, but leans way
more feminine.
It is fun, but alsoisex, but itleans way more feminine.
It is fun but also that itseems to die down pretty quick
and at that price point.
Those couple of factors I'm out.
Myke (22:25):
It's so funny that the episode we just did for Ormond
Woman we argued about thewearability as a man even being
labeled woman, but this that'slabeled unisex and we're both
like it feels extremely feminine, very feminine.
That being said, would smellamazing on a woman.
Sure, I do feel like it's alittle too youthful though, hmm,
(22:45):
for like type of gals.
Ryan (22:48):
So then, what we didn't really say.
But what age is this, do youthink?
I think mid twenties.
Yeah, I could see that.
Myke (22:58):
It's light, it's youthful, it's very candy, very bubble
gum.
Ryan (22:59):
I'm serious when I say that this is really pretty Out
the gate.
This thing is gorgeous andwould smell incredible on a
woman.
Yeah.
Myke (23:06):
I think we just need to.
Sometimes it's tough with acarded sample to really know the
kind of, you know, dispersionand that sort of thing that's
going to happen with an actualatomizer.
Ryan (23:18):
Yeah Makes you wonder should all houses just do at the
very least a 5 mil atomizer oftheir samples for things, so
people can really get a goodwearing out of it?
What's that like?
Myke (23:30):
two or three.
I think it's a 2 mil.
Yeah, typically, I think whatwe just need to do is actually
just split the sample and justspray the hell out of it when we
do an episode on a card sampleright there.
Yeah, I think so because youprobably, when you do a full
wearing of something, you'reprobably going to do a mil or
two.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Ryan (23:52):
I feel like I wear that whole thing when I wear my real
fragrances.
Myke (23:55):
Yeah, I feel like I wear that whole thing when I wear my
real fragrances.
Yeah, I wouldn't doubt if youwere spraying two, three mil, I
definitely would, because I willspray carbon sometimes, like
you wear a fragrance, I'll spraythe shit out of it and I'll
look and I'll go.
Damn, I just put a dent in thatthing.
I feel like a damp librarian.
Let me say one thing reallyquickly about prada lunarosa
(24:17):
carbon this is so funny becausesteve just posted a video
talking about how we pretty muchtalk about carbon every fucking
episode look, I swear to god wehave no ties to this dumb ass
company okay, that should proveit he's lying.
Ryan (24:33):
We get uh royalties from it I wish we did, but going to
tell you what they better.
At least pay for a fuckingheadstone when we're gone,
because of all the Made out ofcarbon, yeah, of all the
fragrances that we go back to.
That is one of them, and look,people may hate it, I just don't
care that one.
I just always go back to when Ismell it, for the price,
(24:55):
everything that shit smellsincredible.
It is high end as hell.
Yeah, I do love it.
I really do.
Myke (25:01):
Yeah, this one's a skip for me.
It's a skip for me too.
That's not saying it's a badfragrance.
It smells gorgeous, dude.
It is not us at all, but thatdoesn't make it bad, I think,
for the right person.
Ladies, ladies, ladies or guys.
If you're really looking for afeminine fragrance, gentlemen,
this is that.
I mean.
It is nice.
(25:21):
I'm curious to see if it doeswear really light.
That was a massive complaintabout this in the comment
section.
Ryan (25:30):
I'm starting to believe it .
That would be my complaint too.
Myke (25:33):
But it's like are people coming into MFfk from baccarat
to this and going what the fuck?
This isn't, because baccarat,we know, is loud, proud, strong
long down to get the friction100, 100, yeah.
Ryan (25:47):
Yeah, I don't know, it's definitely a skip.
I do recommend to any femaleout there.
If you smell it, you may likethis might be a.
Maybe you don't want some tolast long either too.
Myke (25:57):
It's true I like lighter fragrances.
I'll go to my carbon fiberheadstone, paid for by Prada,
saying it.
So I don't have any problemwith this being a lighter
fragrance, but it shouldn't bethis light, not for that price
tag.
Ryan (26:14):
Guess old Kirky was just hanging out in candy shops all
the time?
Huh, probably.
I mean wouldn light not forthat price tag.
Guess old kirky was justhanging out in candy shops all
time.
Huh, probably.
I mean, wouldn't you as a kid?
Yeah, I definitely would this.
To me the opening smells sogood I feel like this is an
important question.
Myke (26:25):
What was your go-to candy?
You have to pick one fromchildhood.
Ryan (26:28):
Wow, from childhood one man that just got all the time.
Fuck, that is a hard one.
They don't make them like theyused to.
Okay, I'm going to give you myfavorite and then honorable
mention.
That's close, all right.
There's one that they don'tmake it like they used to.
Myke (26:49):
There's one they don't make anymore, to my knowledge
I'm going to tell you mine, andthen my honorable mention will
be my grandmother's.
Okay, we both had one that itwas like a go-to if we were
going to sneak a little A littlesweet too.
Ryan (27:03):
The one they don't make it like they used to is Shock
Tarks when it first came out.
Myke (27:08):
Oh God, I forgot about those things.
Do they even still make those?
They do, oh, really, and theyusually make them in the tiny
versions now and stuff.
Ryan (27:14):
But when Shock and they usually make them in the tiny
versions now and stuff but whenshark tarts first came out, it
came in like a little likealmost shimmery looking bag.
It was like a bunch oflightning patterns on it.
Myke (27:23):
It was a black bag with the lightning.
Ryan (27:25):
Yeah, I remember it and when you'd eat like five of
those, it would literally burn ahole in your fucking tongue
because it's so acidic yeah,that's the version I miss I love
are probably laws that came outthat prevent that type of shit
now Probably so yeah.
Myke (27:39):
But my go-to thing with that they're like we actually
just would milk nine-voltbatteries.
Ryan (27:43):
Probably so, dude, I used to get that in water.
For some reason, when I eatsomething really sour, I love
chasing it down with some water.
I don't know why.
Myke (27:51):
I don't know if.
Ryan (27:52):
I'm the only one out there , let me know if I'm not.
Myke (27:54):
But I would choose to do it with water.
Is Ryan the only person whodrinks water out there?
Ryan (27:57):
Let us know I don't know what I mean.
I'm like literally swishing itwith the salad.
Myke (28:01):
Oh, okay, I don't know.
Ryan (28:03):
But then the other candy that I used to fucking love that
I don't make anymore, was acandy called Bonkers.
I think I've mentioned it toyou before.
Uh-uh, hubba, bubba gum orwhatever they call it, yeah, but
it was like.
It was a, you know, almost likelaffy taffy in a way too, not
as thick, but the flavor isreally good.
It used to be like a blueberryone I used to really love this
(28:24):
isn't mine, but I just want todo.
Myke (28:26):
You remember like the tube of gum?
You could get tube of gum.
Yeah, it was like almost like apaste.
It would come in like atoothpaste tube.
I do not remember.
You don't remember those?
Oh man, that was the wildestshit.
Uh, my favorite was thebutterfinger.
Growing up I loved butterfingerand then absolutely devastated
(28:50):
when they reformulated it.
Ryan (28:52):
I'm trying to remember the original of it, how it was.
Oh man, I feel like growing up,when I would eat a butterfinger
it's kind of like a granola barit'd be all over you yeah, a
little bit.
Myke (29:01):
Yeah, yeah, which is part of the fun too well knowing that
now because we just recentlytried it.
Ryan (29:05):
What do you think about the butterfinger ice cream bar
that we bought?
Myke (29:08):
oh, it was good.
It doesn't anywhere touch.
Touch the candy, yeah, or thesnickers one, which is the
snickers ice cream bar, is I, isthe Snickers ice cream bar is.
Ryan (29:17):
I think the Snickers ice cream bar is better than the
actual fucking Snickers bar,absolutely it's ridiculous.
Myke (29:23):
So my honorable mention.
My grandmother loved Baby Ruthcandy bars.
Ryan (29:29):
That has to be an older person, because my dad that was
his exact same favorite oneProbably, yeah, probably came
out at around the time wherethey could really appreciate it
and I love that candy too.
Myke (29:33):
Yeah, older personally, because my dad, yeah, that was
his exact same favorite oneprobably yeah, probably came out
at around the time where theycould really appreciate it and I
love that candy too.
Yeah, I I'll eat the hell outof it.
I remember when my grandmotherfinally got dentures she was so
excited because she could eatbaby ruth candy bars again I'm
(29:55):
about to take these bad boys fora spin a hundred percent.
That's awesome, dude.
Yeah, she was pumped.
Ryan (30:04):
I swear to god, I've never known this about your
grandmother, my dad yeah, I'mthe same thing.
Yeah, that's crazy.
I, they're both.
You know my dad was a oldergentleman.
So, uh, dude, that is crazy.
Yeah, yeah, that is I think.
I mean I'm assuming that cameout probably around Babe Ruth
era or something stupid likethat Maybe.
Yeah, I'm assuming I could bevery wrong, but I mean it's kind
(30:27):
of close.
So him being so popularprobably was a huge candy for
people back then.
Myke (30:32):
Probably was, and they're good, they are so good.
But man, but man growing up Idon't know what it was.
If I could get a candy bar, itwas a butterfinger and I was
like nobody was gonna lay afinger on my butterfinger you
were the original to coin thatyeah, it's true this makes me I
(30:53):
mean, look, guys, you, just youhear it so much with us on this,
on these podcast episodes.
Ryan (30:59):
We obviously love food, right, yeah, there's some people
I think just exist or just like, yeah, just you know they'll
eat whatever, but like, yeah, wecall those healthy people.
Yeah, we hate when a meal isnot like superb.
You know what I mean.
Right, yeah, which makes me go.
We really we've been saying itoff and on, but we've really got
to do another episode of eatthe menu.
(31:20):
Yeah, for sure, because I mean,we love to talk to each other
and we love to eat.
Myke (31:27):
We might as well get paid to do it 100, and we've already
been.
Ryan (31:30):
We've actually been tossing this back and forth for
the past couple weeks now, butwe're like because you know this
, guys, every time we do anytype of job, we have to
celebrate with a fucking dipcone.
Myke (31:38):
For some reason yeah, if it was a bad job, we kind of
drowned our sorrows and thendipped ice cream cone.
It was a good job, we hey, whynot celebrate?
With it it was just a midday.
We're like you know what?
Ryan (31:49):
make this day a little bit better dip cone so much so that
we're like when we we do theEat, the Menu episodes, every
episode has to have a quick.
We're eating a dip cone andwe're going to rate this dip
cone from this place.
Myke (32:02):
Yeah, that's what we've kind of been thinking about
adding at the end.
I think it works, just becausewe eat so many of them.
Now we're kind of like we knowhow the consistency of the
chocolate should be on the outershell yes, and then how the ice
cream should be, the texturethere yes, and then how the ice
cream should be the texture.
Ryan (32:18):
There's different textures of it.
We know when cones are reallyfresh.
Yeah, somewhat fresh, stale asfuck.
Yeah, we're like professionalsat dip cone, which is really
embarrassing to admit, but it'sthe truth well, because we've
spent the 10 000 hours gettingthere.
Myke (32:33):
We're like, uh, have you seen those memes where it's like
you know the script and it'slike her, and then it's like
what that tongue do, and thenit's like me, and then it shows
ice cream cones where you'vesculpted out like different,
like impossible sculptures.
You know, yeah, this is likethe statue of david sculpt out
(32:56):
with the your freaking tongue.
Ryan (32:58):
We can basically do that now probably as many ice cream
cones that we've eaten so we cantake one bite and know that the
cone's about to be a disaster.
Yeah, like literally we'reabout to have it all over us.
All I have to do is lick thetip and until next time, spray
it up y'all.
