can search WBCT for that.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And now we do this podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
And it used to be me and another person on here,
and she kind of took off and decided to do
her own thing and step away from radio. And I
decided to continue the podcast and bring on friends and
family and coworkers and people in the business and random
people on the streets and random TikTokers, celebrities, anybody who
just wants to jump on here. I decided, let's let's
(00:43):
make him a part of this mess and joining me
as a reoccurring co host. She is a friend, she
is a friend of the show. She is a TikToker,
She's everything. She is Miranda otherwise known as Batman Underscore
Nerd on the on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I'm good? How are you today?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Today?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I'm fine today. It feels like a very hectic day.
And I don't know why you ever have those days
where it's just like today for some reason, it's crazy
and I can't really fully explain why that.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Was my day. Yesterday, my Kroger order.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
They messaged me and we're like, hey, we're going to
be late with your order. And I scheduled it to
pick up on the way home from work, right, so
I didn't have to leave again.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Sure, well, I get home because.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I had something to do at four, and then they
messaged me and they're like it's done, and I'm like cool,
So I left to go get it and went to
the wrong Kroger.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh no, and it's like You've already used all your
errand energy to go to this one thing and it's.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I called them and I'm like, i'll be tomorrow after work.
You guys strewed me up? Is it tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's not anything like that will go bad, right, Noah?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And they got for it. I think they got for
as I said, it was okay.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I mean, I mean, whenever fun.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
If you get sick, he gets sick, right, it's fine,
it'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So I took last week off and I don't remember why.
I think it's because I had a bunch of stuff
going on. It's a lot.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Are you guys just.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Getting back from flort?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
No, it was after the after the.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
House, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I don't know why I didn't do it last week.
There was a lot going on, and I feel like, oh,
I had to record something else.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's what it was.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I had to record something with Mojo and it took
up an extended amount of time. So I didn't get
a chance to do a podcast last week, and and
I was thinking about, like, what are we going to
talk about this week? What should we talk about? Obviously
Halloween being this Friday?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Is it? Are you a big Halloween person? Or like,
what's your favorite holiday?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well, my birthday is November fourth, and my due date
was originally Halloween, so Halloween is definitely one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I thought you were going to say, your birthday is
November fourth, and Thanksgiving is your favorite holiday. No, not
a lot of people say Thanksgiving is the favorite holiday.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Listen, I'm down eighty pounds in like five years years,
so like, no food.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
No food, I would say top If I had to
pick a top three, what's your big three?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Your big three in holidays?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Halloween, Christmas is up there, and probably Memorial Day weekend
because that like kicks off the summer.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
M m m.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
That is a good that's a good three. So it
was Halloween, Memorial Day. What was the other one Christmas?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Christmas?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, see I would go in that specific order or
just that's just random order.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That's just a random order.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, I don't know that I have in order either.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I would say Christmas for sure, but that's really like
the feeling around it, and like once it's over, it sucks.
But like the feeling around Christmas, first week before, first
week after is just incredible.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
I'm like Thanksgiving to New Year's I say, is pretty fun.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
January second life sucks again.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, it's just snowy for no reason, like the snow
doesn't make sense. Then I would say Halloween is definitely
becoming one of my newer favorites.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I liked it. I liked it as a kid, but
I didn't love it like I do now. I love Halloween,
and I think it's for many other reasons besides just
walking around to contreting. I love the feeling right now,
the weather right now. And then my other one Memorial
is such a good one. But I think I think
it's fourth of July for me.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I was just gonna say, I bet it's the fourth
of July with your obnoxious flag.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Oh obnoxious or just love for this country. I think
that's what it is. Just patriotic is what you meant? Now?
It is?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It is.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's just the middle of the summer. You're in the
full swing of summer at that point. I love, ye
love summer and it do you get time camping, time
off everything?
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Everything about it? With Halloween?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You know what I've I've started to realize now that
I'm getting more into Halloween. Did you ever I'm assuming
you went tricker traading as I can, but I should ask. Okay, uh,
did you ever get candy in your trick or treating bag?
That was like you just looked at it and went,
I know this candy is bad. I know this candy
is terrible. Oh yeah, but like did you try it
(05:28):
or did you actually or did you just throw it away?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
See?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
I was a very picky child.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I was an only child.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Oh that makes sense, got to like pick through my stuff. Yeah,
and Grandpa would always eat everything I didn't want, so
like it worked out.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh that's nice. What was I realized? As a kid.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Uh or I realized now as an adult probably that
I wasn't picky, But I definitely was a candy snob
when I was a kid. I didn't I didn't try
any of the like if any of the candies that
I thought looked gross, not if I even tried them,
Because I didn't try all of them.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I threw them away. Like Mike and Ike, I.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Grew up on chocolate, so like, if it wasn't chocolate,
I wasn't even gonna try it.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I just read a story that said fruit is like
fruit flavors are becoming bigger than chocolate or they're like
really really close to being bigger than chocolate.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Crazy to me because I've never been that kid that
liked it, Like never the gushers or the fruit roll
ups or like any of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I always thought it tasted gross and fat.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, I do like the I do like a gusher
and a fruit roll up, now that you mentioned those,
I did. I do like those, but I wasn't a
fruit like Skittles were okay, Skittles were fine, But if
I had to pick again, we'll do Big three. But
I did do the three top candies. Ever, it would
have been probably Snickers, Reeses, Twigs in no order.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Nine would be Peanut Eminem's good one. And uh, that
third spot can vary, like sometimes it's kit Cats, sometimes
it's TwixT, but it's generally like a Wayfer type thing.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
There's something about both of those that you do have
to be in the mood like, yeah, and they are
very similar, but you're right, they're very different at the
same time.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
It's maybe it clicks is more dense, whereas like the
kit cat's like a little bit more like light.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So I wanted to I'm going to talk about this
on our morning show here later this week, but I
wanted to talk to people and find out what is
the gross candy or the candy that everybody says is
gross but you absolutely love. Because I found out this
week while I was taste testing these candies that I
thought were gross, that I grew up believing they were gross,
(07:52):
that people genuinely love. I tried. What were the ones
that I tried? I tried dots. People have a week
your love for dots. They're not good in my opinion,
but other people.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
The family does too. And I never understood.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It Swedish fish also is on that list. People, Really,
what is the.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
What is this disgusting? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
They stink.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
I like want to throw them out every time it
leaves an open bag around.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I can't stand it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, they're not good at all.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I did try one that I thought was gross when
I was a kid that actually ended up being pretty good,
and that was a I do like totsy rolls. I
wouldn't put them back the top of the list, but
I tried a I didn't know they had different flavors.
I'm sure I did know, I just never tried it,
but they had different Those came out.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Like in the early two thousands, maybe late nineties.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
I kind of remember them well.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
They people seem to know them because everybody says the blue,
which is vanilla, apparently is I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I didn't know either. I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But they say they're really, really good, and so I
tried the lime TUTSI roll. When I tell you that,
I was blown away. Maybe it's just because I had
low expectations, like the bar was low with that, but
it was it was genuinely good, genuinely terrible.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It does.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
No it's limeman and then like, uh, like a hint
of tutsu role, like a hint of the O GT Yes,
And maybe it's just the texture. Maybe it's just it's
not too overbearing with lime. It's not too lime. The
chocolate is just is in there, but not like overpowering either.
It's it's not bad. Am I seeking those out?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Nah? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But like was I pleasantly surprised, absolutely like another one
on that list, And I would love to And I
can't wait to get some of these calls because I
think people are going to call in with with the
with the random candies that they.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Love because they're passionate in the comments.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
If you go to TikTok add on are Mike, you
can also follow Miranda to at Batman Underscore Nerd.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You could see some of the comments.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
People are passionate about the Swedish fish and passionate about
the dots. And I would have never guessed in a millionaire.
I thought everybody's gonna be like, oh girls, yeah, but
the circus peanuts you ever try those?
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Listen?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
That was my suggestion for you to try.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
And no, because they're squishy and they're.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Growth, I don't know, they are terrible they're Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh, I went to maybe maybe it's somebody said it's
the brand that you've got, it's a brand of of Uh.
I don't think so either. I think that's how they're built.
They look like packing foams, the packing.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Peanuts, like, yes, do you like peeps?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Uh no, not even a.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Little circus peanuts or mind me of peeps.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, it's very that the texture and maybe somebody said
I got a bad batch, but maybe the texture or
the consistency is supposed to be like that.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
But it was very solid, like very thought.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I thought circus peanuts were supposed to be soft.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
They I mean, you've been into it and once you
started chewing it it was soft.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Why because they're growing, nobody buys them and they've been
sitting on the shelves.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And last year here's a here's one too that I
thought you're probably right.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Sure, right, here's one too that I've found is very
Uh either you love it or you hate it?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Candy corn? Where do you stand on? Can't you hate
take candy corn?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Too?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
See there's a love for it in Michigan. In fact,
let me google to make sure. But at one point,
if you looked at they had one of those maps online.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
What's like the.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Top candy here?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
At one point, didn't you do a topic got like
when you were still a mojo?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I think I remember you talking about this top candy.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Let's see top candy in each state. But this might
have even been recently. Oh okay, let me see here,
because it changes. I think it changes every year. Fifty states,
fifty favorites the number one candy in all fifty states.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Let me see.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh, don't make me click a bunch of stuff here,
where's Michigan, Michigan? What would you guess would be there
if without candy? Don't put candy corn in there? But
if you had to pick one, what would you think
would be the top one?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
That it's like Snickers.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
See, I would have yeah, I would have guessed that.
Or Reese's. So okay. I was onto something with the
fruit thing too.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So according to this article, which is MSN dot com,
America has spoken, and it seems that fruit flavored candy
Trump's chocolate candy. This year, Reese's didn't rank higher on
the list, didn't rank very high in the list. Starburst
is really really high on this list. Thirteen states have
Starbursts as they're same. But when you get a good Starburst,
(12:35):
I'll be honest, it is pretty solid.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
If you get like the.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Red or the pink orange, orange is pretty good to
yellows or mass That's like.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
The only candy so I have with chocolate that I
will eat as an orange.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Star Birds Reese's is only the biggest in four states,
the Smart States Iowa, Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming. Yeah, and
then Skittles four states, Sour Punch four states. Jolly Ranchers
three states. That's another one that's a very underrated candy.
Jolly Rancher is like the ludicrous of candies. It's very underrated.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It is really what.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I used to love to get.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Speaking of Jolly Ranchers, the caramel apple fuckers.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Oh those are good. I got a bunch of those
for from a truck or treat recently. Those are solid.
Those never are bad ever, never. So the biggest one
in Michigan is actually, according to this article. I'm sure
it varies on every article you read, sour Patch Kids.
According according to this least popular candy in the US.
(13:36):
I guess it's candy corn, all right, So it wasn't
it wasn't that candy corn has one true fan, and
it's in Kansas. Blow pops are huge in South Dakota,
New Mexico. Hot To Moley's just New Mexico. Hot To
Molly's are another one that I'm like, Nah.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I wonder being get big when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, I still those and and TUTSI pops. I could
eat a TOUCHI Pop all day, every day, all all
the same with it. I mean I like a blowpop too.
I mean it's only good for the three minutes you're
eating it, and then you chew the gum and then
it goes bad almost instantly. But right, I don't know,
there's just I feel like there's a lot of love
(14:16):
for random candies, okay in the chat right now?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Snow caps.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
People love snow caps, which I don't think I've ever
had one, if I'm being honest, Maybe put that on
the list we in the box? But is that the
chocolate like hershey looking kiss thing and then it's got
like little white.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Dots on it.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I think they're like milk duds with something like white
on them.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Do you like milk? Does?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Ah? Right?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, it's hard to same. What about whoppers? You ever
have a whopper?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Aren't those like.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Take catballs?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yes and no.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yes, I think you're right in the like technically technically
technically speaking, yes, I think everything is built sort of
the same flattened that mate into a bar'd be the same.
But in my opinion, when you bite into it, it
feels much different than when you bite into a kick
cat much different.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Do you have more surface area of chocolate covering more wafer?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Maybe that's it. I can't describe it with the wafer.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, the wafer to chocolate ratio and the way that
it's shaped and the way that it moves when you
bite into it is just off.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Have you noticed too, or do you eat butterfingers?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I no, not more not since Bart Simpson was on
the commercial.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's why I hate him too. That's another percent why
they really hit something going with that. But they changed
they changed the formula. I don't know how. I can't
explain to you how they've changed it, but they changed place.
I thought they were amazing and maybe it's just kidney
remembering that, which I've also noticed. My That's why I
think I want to try That's what started this. I
(15:54):
want to try some of these candies. Is I think
I've I've grown up a little and my palate has changed,
so like things that I didn't like as a kid,
or maybe have tried and didn't like, I might actually
like today, like a bigger.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, that's that's that's what I was getting at.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, but I think I think my palette has become
more refined.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
So but I tried.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
That's why you took us to a winery out in
the middle of a fucking field.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It was incredible, though, wasn't it. The wine was delicious,
the food was pretty solid.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
But but I just I sow certain things, even like
I'm doing the chili cook off this weekend at games,
which are coming very excited for that.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I didn't like chili as a kid. I did the beans.
The beans threw me off every time I ate it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And then as I got older, I was probably probably
moved out of the house at that point and just
coming home for like the holidays or just to visit
my parents, and they would make they would have chili
in the fridge, and then at some point I ate
the chili and it might have been like a white
chicken chili or something, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Like, oh my god, this is incredible.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
This is amazing when you don't like the beans, is
you load it with like cheese and crackers and sour
cream on the top, and then by the time you're
down with it, you don't even.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Know that you ate it me as a bean.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Some cornbread in there too, Oh god, oh god.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But anyways, so I feel like maybe my palate has
changed a little when it comes to eating foods. But
I believe, and I would love to get a butterfinger
expert on somebody who makes these, that they change the
formula and butterfingers don't taste the same.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I think they're way worse, way worse.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
We need to clip this and post a TikTok and
ask is it this butterfinger Mars or not?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I don't know. I think it's I don't know, Nestley.
I believe. I'll look it up.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, but yeah, one of them. We have questions we
need to These questions need to be answered. Also, I
think that the I'm on their website right now. I
think that the oh, it's like some random company. I
don't know if it's either one of them, Oh, Pharaoh, Pharaoh,
(18:11):
I don't know. They make it very hard to contact them. Recipes,
Oh what's that. Oh, it's just how to make things
with Butterfinger. Oh, I'll look it up. I'll figure it out.
If anybody knows who, we could call them right now?
Should we call them?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yes, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Let's call them.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Let's see if I can get them on another line here,
I just call him on my actual phoneans to do
it too. Mm mmmmm. So we're calling Butterfinger right now,
three one, Oh, we're gonna find out.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
We'll find out. Also, I think Reese's in any of
the holiday shapes.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I bet.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Recorded for you too.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I can't stick on white chocolate pumpkins one year butterfingers.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Please press to learn if contain bio engineered ingredient also
known as GMOs. Please press three.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I hope the answer is no. How about just let
me talk to somebody. Please hold the next available ambassador.
Oh god, oh brand ambassador.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Thank you for calling Butterfinger.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
This is hi, Am Marie. My name is Mike.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
You are on the This is the Slightly Messy podcast
uh on iHeartRadio. We're big fans of Butterfinger over here,
and I just have a few questions if you don't mind, sure,
Just it's a question. This is a host of a
host on a podcast iHeartRadio morning show host as well,
(19:52):
And I just I have one question about Butterfinger that's
been driving me nuts for years. I've lived, I've lived
on these things as a kid. Did you, guys, at
any point in the last five to ten years, change
the formula of Butterfinger? Change how you make them, what
you add in them? Did you switch up something? It
(20:12):
seems different than it was when I was a kid.
Not good, not bad.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I'm just saying it seems different.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
I could definitely go ahead and do that double check
for you. Let me put you on a quick hold.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Okay, I'll find out that answer.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, thank you. You've been so helpful. So the answer
might be yes. I'm gonna mute her because I have
a feeling she's just sitting there right now. We're gonna
find out. I don't know if I don't know if
she is gonna be able to know the answer. I
think I might have scared her a little bit with
(20:48):
the iHeart things, as she.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Might think she's on like a real real news interview.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Thing, and that's not what this podcast.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
That's not like.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Just some dude goofing around on a podcast some dude
who's just obsessed with butter fingers. Well, I mean it
will be heard by a lot of people, but I'm
not I'm not here to like get this story on.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We can make the tagline eat my short.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
We can make it whatever you want to make it.
I don't care if they send us butter fingers for life.
I will tag every podcast with eat my shorts.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I'm easily uh easily uh bribed when it comes to taglines.
If you want, if you want to tagline, you just
send me a bunch of candy. I'll get it down
for you.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Is you're right, see well we're talking about candy.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
You need a title for the podcast. I think.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
She put me on hold. This is new Hold music.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It's kind of nice. Actually, it's like Charlie Brown's Christmas
like Kenny be Yeah. My guess is they did change
the flavor as they did switch something.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Well, I wonder.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Like regulation has changed in the last like five years.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Right, But I'll be honest with you, like, don't tell
my kids I said this, but like give me the chemicals,
like if.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
It brings back that deliciousness, not that it's bad, it's
just different. And I didn't want different, you know, but
if it's got, I don't care, Like even if it
is pesticide.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
I'm so sorry about the way you was taking a
while on my internet. But I can't confirm that there
has been no recipe recipe change within the last five
to ten years.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Okay, it just seems maybe maybe maybe my pallet's changed
since I was a kid. Maybe that's what it is.
I just remember them, and I hadn't had him in
a while. I remember them in a certain way, and
it's not what I remember. Not bad, but just different,
and I didn't want different. If if if, if you
had the recipe to the old one. Okay, all right,
well you've been very helpful. I appreciate it very much.
(23:05):
I appreciate you coming on the podcast too.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
No, I don't either.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
She's probably telling the truth. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Yeah, it doesn't matter, but like, also, what kind of
questions does somebody who answers that number normally get.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It's got to be anything because she's a brand ambassador,
so she's probably answering anything like how much do like
do they It's probably the the random things you think
like throughout the day like that right there. It was
probably a normal phone call for her, Hey, how come
you guys don't do Simpsons commercials anymore? And she would
just answer it and go, oh you see, or how come? Uh,
(23:56):
how come they're not king size like super duper king
size anything. Anything you could think of is yeah, I
don't know, it's probably it makes us.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
A regular segment where.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
We just call candy stores.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Candy stores, but like call eight hundred customer service numbers

Coconut is deaf
It is the slightly Messy podcast heard on the More
Mojo platform. My name is Mike, formerly from the Mojo
in the Morning Show, now co host to my own
show on B ninety three ninety three ye seven B
ninety three. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, you
can search WBCT for that.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And now we do this podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
And it used to be me and another person on here,
and she kind of took off and decided to do
her own thing and step away from radio. And I
decided to continue the podcast and bring on friends and
family and coworkers and people in the business and random
people on the streets and random TikTokers, celebrities, anybody who
just wants to jump on here. I decided, let's let's
(00:43):
make him a part of this mess and joining me
as a reoccurring co host. She is a friend, she
is a friend of the show. She is a TikToker,
She's everything. She is Miranda otherwise known as Batman Underscore
Nerd on the on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I'm good? How are you today?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Today?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I'm fine today. It feels like a very hectic day.
And I don't know why you ever have those days
where it's just like today for some reason, it's crazy
and I can't really fully explain why that.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Was my day. Yesterday, my Kroger order.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
They messaged me and we're like, hey, we're going to
be late with your order. And I scheduled it to
pick up on the way home from work, right, so
I didn't have to leave again.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Sure, well, I get home because.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I had something to do at four, and then they
messaged me and they're like it's done, and I'm like cool,
So I left to go get it and went to
the wrong Kroger.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh no, and it's like You've already used all your
errand energy to go to this one thing and it's.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I called them and I'm like, i'll be tomorrow after work.
You guys strewed me up? Is it tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's not anything like that will go bad, right, Noah?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And they got for it. I think they got for
as I said, it was okay.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I mean, I mean, whenever fun.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
If you get sick, he gets sick, right, it's fine,
it'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So I took last week off and I don't remember why.
I think it's because I had a bunch of stuff
going on. It's a lot.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Are you guys just.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Getting back from flort?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
No, it was after the after the.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
House, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I don't know why I didn't do it last week.
There was a lot going on, and I feel like, oh,
I had to record something else.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's what it was.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I had to record something with Mojo and it took
up an extended amount of time. So I didn't get
a chance to do a podcast last week, and and
I was thinking about, like, what are we going to
talk about this week? What should we talk about? Obviously
Halloween being this Friday?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Is it? Are you a big Halloween person? Or like,
what's your favorite holiday?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well, my birthday is November fourth, and my due date
was originally Halloween, so Halloween is definitely one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I thought you were going to say, your birthday is
November fourth, and Thanksgiving is your favorite holiday. No, not
a lot of people say Thanksgiving is the favorite holiday.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Listen, I'm down eighty pounds in like five years years,
so like, no food.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
No food, I would say top If I had to
pick a top three, what's your big three?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Your big three in holidays?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Halloween, Christmas is up there, and probably Memorial Day weekend
because that like kicks off the summer.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
M m m.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
That is a good that's a good three. So it
was Halloween, Memorial Day. What was the other one Christmas?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Christmas?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, see I would go in that specific order or
just that's just random order.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That's just a random order.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, I don't know that I have in order either.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I would say Christmas for sure, but that's really like
the feeling around it, and like once it's over, it sucks.
But like the feeling around Christmas, first week before, first
week after is just incredible.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
I'm like Thanksgiving to New Year's I say, is pretty fun.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
January second life sucks again.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, it's just snowy for no reason, like the snow
doesn't make sense. Then I would say Halloween is definitely
becoming one of my newer favorites.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I liked it. I liked it as a kid, but
I didn't love it like I do now. I love Halloween,
and I think it's for many other reasons besides just
walking around to contreting. I love the feeling right now,
the weather right now. And then my other one Memorial
is such a good one. But I think I think
it's fourth of July for me.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I was just gonna say, I bet it's the fourth
of July with your obnoxious flag.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Oh obnoxious or just love for this country. I think
that's what it is. Just patriotic is what you meant? Now?
It is?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It is.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It's just the middle of the summer. You're in the
full swing of summer at that point. I love, ye
love summer and it do you get time camping, time
off everything?
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Everything about it? With Halloween?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You know what I've I've started to realize now that
I'm getting more into Halloween. Did you ever I'm assuming
you went tricker traading as I can, but I should ask. Okay, uh,
did you ever get candy in your trick or treating bag?
That was like you just looked at it and went,
I know this candy is bad. I know this candy
is terrible. Oh yeah, but like did you try it
(05:28):
or did you actually or did you just throw it away?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
See?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
I was a very picky child.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I was an only child.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Oh that makes sense, got to like pick through my stuff. Yeah,
and Grandpa would always eat everything I didn't want, so
like it worked out.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh that's nice. What was I realized? As a kid.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Uh or I realized now as an adult probably that
I wasn't picky, But I definitely was a candy snob
when I was a kid. I didn't I didn't try
any of the like if any of the candies that
I thought looked gross, not if I even tried them,
Because I didn't try all of them.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I threw them away. Like Mike and Ike, I.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Grew up on chocolate, so like, if it wasn't chocolate,
I wasn't even gonna try it.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I just read a story that said fruit is like
fruit flavors are becoming bigger than chocolate or they're like
really really close to being bigger than chocolate.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Crazy to me because I've never been that kid that
liked it, Like never the gushers or the fruit roll
ups or like any of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I always thought it tasted gross and fat.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, I do like the I do like a gusher
and a fruit roll up, now that you mentioned those,
I did. I do like those, but I wasn't a
fruit like Skittles were okay, Skittles were fine, But if
I had to pick again, we'll do Big three. But
I did do the three top candies. Ever, it would
have been probably Snickers, Reeses, Twigs in no order.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Nine would be Peanut Eminem's good one. And uh, that
third spot can vary, like sometimes it's kit Cats, sometimes
it's TwixT, but it's generally like a Wayfer type thing.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
There's something about both of those that you do have
to be in the mood like, yeah, and they are
very similar, but you're right, they're very different at the
same time.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
It's maybe it clicks is more dense, whereas like the
kit cat's like a little bit more like light.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So I wanted to I'm going to talk about this
on our morning show here later this week, but I
wanted to talk to people and find out what is
the gross candy or the candy that everybody says is
gross but you absolutely love. Because I found out this
week while I was taste testing these candies that I
thought were gross, that I grew up believing they were gross,
(07:52):
that people genuinely love. I tried. What were the ones
that I tried? I tried dots. People have a week
your love for dots. They're not good in my opinion,
but other people.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
The family does too. And I never understood.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It Swedish fish also is on that list. People, Really,
what is the.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
What is this disgusting? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
They stink.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
I like want to throw them out every time it
leaves an open bag around.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I can't stand it.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, they're not good at all.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I did try one that I thought was gross when
I was a kid that actually ended up being pretty good,
and that was a I do like totsy rolls. I
wouldn't put them back the top of the list, but
I tried a I didn't know they had different flavors.
I'm sure I did know, I just never tried it,
but they had different Those came out.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Like in the early two thousands, maybe late nineties.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
I kind of remember them well.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
They people seem to know them because everybody says the blue,
which is vanilla, apparently is I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I didn't know either. I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
But they say they're really, really good, and so I
tried the lime TUTSI roll. When I tell you that,
I was blown away. Maybe it's just because I had
low expectations, like the bar was low with that, but
it was it was genuinely good, genuinely terrible.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It does.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
No it's limeman and then like, uh, like a hint
of tutsu role, like a hint of the O GT Yes,
And maybe it's just the texture. Maybe it's just it's
not too overbearing with lime. It's not too lime. The
chocolate is just is in there, but not like overpowering either.
It's it's not bad. Am I seeking those out?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Nah? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But like was I pleasantly surprised, absolutely like another one
on that list, And I would love to And I
can't wait to get some of these calls because I
think people are going to call in with with the
with the random candies that they.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Love because they're passionate in the comments.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
If you go to TikTok add on are Mike, you
can also follow Miranda to at Batman Underscore Nerd.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
You could see some of the comments.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
People are passionate about the Swedish fish and passionate about
the dots. And I would have never guessed in a millionaire.
I thought everybody's gonna be like, oh girls, yeah, but
the circus peanuts you ever try those?
Speaker 7 (10:02):
Listen?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
That was my suggestion for you to try.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
And no, because they're squishy and they're.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Growth, I don't know, they are terrible they're Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh, I went to maybe maybe it's somebody said it's
the brand that you've got, it's a brand of of Uh.
I don't think so either. I think that's how they're built.
They look like packing foams, the packing.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Peanuts, like, yes, do you like peeps?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Uh no, not even a.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Little circus peanuts or mind me of peeps.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, it's very that the texture and maybe somebody said
I got a bad batch, but maybe the texture or
the consistency is supposed to be like that.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
But it was very solid, like very thought.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I thought circus peanuts were supposed to be soft.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
They I mean, you've been into it and once you
started chewing it it was soft.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Why because they're growing, nobody buys them and they've been
sitting on the shelves.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And last year here's a here's one too that I
thought you're probably right.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Sure, right, here's one too that I've found is very
Uh either you love it or you hate it?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Candy corn? Where do you stand on? Can't you hate
take candy corn?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Too?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
See there's a love for it in Michigan. In fact,
let me google to make sure. But at one point,
if you looked at they had one of those maps online.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
What's like the.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Top candy here?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
At one point, didn't you do a topic got like
when you were still a mojo?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I think I remember you talking about this top candy.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Let's see top candy in each state. But this might
have even been recently. Oh okay, let me see here,
because it changes. I think it changes every year. Fifty states,
fifty favorites the number one candy in all fifty states.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Let me see.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh, don't make me click a bunch of stuff here,
where's Michigan, Michigan? What would you guess would be there
if without candy? Don't put candy corn in there? But
if you had to pick one, what would you think
would be the top one?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
That it's like Snickers.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
See, I would have yeah, I would have guessed that.
Or Reese's. So okay. I was onto something with the
fruit thing too.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So according to this article, which is MSN dot com,
America has spoken, and it seems that fruit flavored candy
Trump's chocolate candy. This year, Reese's didn't rank higher on
the list, didn't rank very high in the list. Starburst
is really really high on this list. Thirteen states have
Starbursts as they're same. But when you get a good Starburst,
(12:35):
I'll be honest, it is pretty solid.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
If you get like the.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Red or the pink orange, orange is pretty good to
yellows or mass That's like.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
The only candy so I have with chocolate that I
will eat as an orange.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Star Birds Reese's is only the biggest in four states,
the Smart States Iowa, Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming. Yeah, and
then Skittles four states, Sour Punch four states. Jolly Ranchers
three states. That's another one that's a very underrated candy.
Jolly Rancher is like the ludicrous of candies. It's very underrated.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It is really what.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I used to love to get.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Speaking of Jolly Ranchers, the caramel apple fuckers.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Oh those are good. I got a bunch of those
for from a truck or treat recently. Those are solid.
Those never are bad ever, never. So the biggest one
in Michigan is actually, according to this article. I'm sure
it varies on every article you read, sour Patch Kids.
According according to this least popular candy in the US.
(13:36):
I guess it's candy corn, all right, So it wasn't
it wasn't that candy corn has one true fan, and
it's in Kansas. Blow pops are huge in South Dakota,
New Mexico. Hot To Moley's just New Mexico. Hot To
Molly's are another one that I'm like, Nah.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I wonder being get big when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, I still those and and TUTSI pops. I could
eat a TOUCHI Pop all day, every day, all all
the same with it. I mean I like a blowpop too.
I mean it's only good for the three minutes you're
eating it, and then you chew the gum and then
it goes bad almost instantly. But right, I don't know,
there's just I feel like there's a lot of love
(14:16):
for random candies, okay in the chat right now?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Snow caps.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
People love snow caps, which I don't think I've ever
had one, if I'm being honest, Maybe put that on
the list we in the box? But is that the
chocolate like hershey looking kiss thing and then it's got
like little white.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Dots on it.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I think they're like milk duds with something like white
on them.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Do you like milk? Does?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Ah? Right?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, it's hard to same. What about whoppers? You ever
have a whopper?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Aren't those like.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Take catballs?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yes and no.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yes, I think you're right in the like technically technically
technically speaking, yes, I think everything is built sort of
the same flattened that mate into a bar'd be the same.
But in my opinion, when you bite into it, it
feels much different than when you bite into a kick
cat much different.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Do you have more surface area of chocolate covering more wafer?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Maybe that's it. I can't describe it with the wafer.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, the wafer to chocolate ratio and the way that
it's shaped and the way that it moves when you
bite into it is just off.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Have you noticed too, or do you eat butterfingers?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I no, not more not since Bart Simpson was on
the commercial.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's why I hate him too. That's another percent why
they really hit something going with that. But they changed
they changed the formula. I don't know how. I can't
explain to you how they've changed it, but they changed place.
I thought they were amazing and maybe it's just kidney
remembering that, which I've also noticed. My That's why I
think I want to try That's what started this. I
(15:54):
want to try some of these candies. Is I think
I've I've grown up a little and my palate has changed,
so like things that I didn't like as a kid,
or maybe have tried and didn't like, I might actually
like today, like a bigger.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, that's that's that's what I was getting at.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, but I think I think my palette has become
more refined.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
So but I tried.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
That's why you took us to a winery out in
the middle of a fucking field.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It was incredible, though, wasn't it. The wine was delicious,
the food was pretty solid.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
But but I just I sow certain things, even like
I'm doing the chili cook off this weekend at games,
which are coming very excited for that.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I didn't like chili as a kid. I did the beans.
The beans threw me off every time I ate it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And then as I got older, I was probably probably
moved out of the house at that point and just
coming home for like the holidays or just to visit
my parents, and they would make they would have chili
in the fridge, and then at some point I ate
the chili and it might have been like a white
chicken chili or something, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Like, oh my god, this is incredible.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
This is amazing when you don't like the beans, is
you load it with like cheese and crackers and sour
cream on the top, and then by the time you're
down with it, you don't even.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Know that you ate it me as a bean.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Some cornbread in there too, Oh god, oh god.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
But anyways, so I feel like maybe my palate has
changed a little when it comes to eating foods. But
I believe, and I would love to get a butterfinger
expert on somebody who makes these, that they change the
formula and butterfingers don't taste the same.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I think they're way worse, way worse.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
We need to clip this and post a TikTok and
ask is it this butterfinger Mars or not?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I don't know. I think it's I don't know, Nestley.
I believe. I'll look it up.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, but yeah, one of them. We have questions we
need to These questions need to be answered. Also, I
think that the I'm on their website right now. I
think that the oh, it's like some random company. I
don't know if it's either one of them, Oh, Pharaoh, Pharaoh,
(18:11):
I don't know. They make it very hard to contact them. Recipes,
Oh what's that. Oh, it's just how to make things
with Butterfinger. Oh, I'll look it up. I'll figure it out.
If anybody knows who, we could call them right now?
Should we call them?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yes, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Let's call them.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Let's see if I can get them on another line here,
I just call him on my actual phoneans to do
it too. Mm mmmmm. So we're calling Butterfinger right now,
three one, Oh, we're gonna find out.
Speaker 2 (18:44):

the holiday shapes.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
Thank you for calling Butterfinger.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
This is hi, Am Marie. My name is Mike.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
You are on the This is the Slightly Messy podcast
uh on iHeartRadio. We're big fans of Butterfinger over here,
and I just have a few questions if you don't mind, sure,
Just it's a question. This is a host of a
host on a podcast iHeartRadio morning show host as well,
(19:52):
And I just I have one question about Butterfinger that's
been driving me nuts for years. I've lived, I've lived
on these things as a kid. Did you, guys, at
any point in the last five to ten years, change
the formula of Butterfinger? Change how you make them, what
you add in them? Did you switch up something? It
(20:12):
seems different than it was when I was a kid.
Not good, not bad.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
I'm just saying it seems different.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
I could definitely go ahead and do that double check
for you. Let me put you on a quick hold.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Okay, I'll find out that answer.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, thank you. You've been so helpful. So the answer
might be yes. I'm gonna mute her because I have
a feeling she's just sitting there right now. We're gonna
find out. I don't know if I don't know if
she is gonna be able to know the answer. I
think I might have scared her a little bit with
(20:48):
the iHeart things, as she.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Might think she's on like a real real news interview.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Thing, and that's not what this podcast.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
That's not like.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Just some dude goofing around on a podcast some dude
who's just obsessed with butter fingers. Well, I mean it
will be heard by a lot of people, but I'm
not I'm not here to like get this story on.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
We can make the tagline eat my short.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
We can make it whatever you want to make it.
I don't care if they send us butter fingers for life.
I will tag every podcast with eat my shorts.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I'm easily uh easily uh bribed when it comes to taglines.
If you want, if you want to tagline, you just
send me a bunch of candy. I'll get it down
for you.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Is you're right, see well we're talking about candy.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
You need a title for the podcast. I think.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
She put me on hold. This is new Hold music.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It's kind of nice. Actually, it's like Charlie Brown's Christmas
like Kenny be Yeah. My guess is they did change
the flavor as they did switch something.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Well, I wonder.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Like regulation has changed in the last like five years.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Right, But I'll be honest with you, like, don't tell
my kids I said this, but like give me the chemicals,
like if.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
It brings back that deliciousness, not that it's bad, it's
just different. And I didn't want different, you know, but
if it's got, I don't care, Like even if it
is pesticide.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
I'm so sorry about the way you was taking a
while on my internet. But I can't confirm that there
has been no recipe recipe change within the last five
to ten years.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Okay, it just seems maybe maybe maybe my pallet's changed
since I was a kid. Maybe that's what it is.
I just remember them, and I hadn't had him in
a while. I remember them in a certain way, and
it's not what I remember. Not bad, but just different,
and I didn't want different. If if if, if you
had the recipe to the old one. Okay, all right,
well you've been very helpful. I appreciate it very much.
(23:05):
I appreciate you coming on the podcast too.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Thank you for your patience.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Any more questions give us?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
All right? Thanks? Bye. I don't I don't believe her.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
No, I don't either.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
She's probably telling the truth. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Yeah, it doesn't matter, but like, also, what kind of
questions does somebody who answers that number normally get.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It's got to be anything because she's a brand ambassador,
so she's probably answering anything like how much do like
do they It's probably the the random things you think
like throughout the day like that right there. It was
probably a normal phone call for her, Hey, how come
you guys don't do Simpsons commercials anymore? And she would
just answer it and go, oh you see, or how come? Uh,
(23:56):
how come they're not king size like super duper king
size anything. Anything you could think of is yeah, I
don't know, it's probably it makes us.
