What up, what up, everybody?This is your boy, Balubis, coming at you with the episode five of the Between the Buds podcast.
What up, everybody?It's your boy, Mr. Hypebeast Burger.Carlton Harris in the flesh.What's good? Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.Thank you.My bad.I got a little excited right there on the intro.No, no, no.You're good.You're good.You're good, man.You're good.You're good.I see you rocking out your Roll Tide gear right now.You got damn right.See?
There go that twang slipping out of you already. Well, I know we're getting near the end of October.So by the time this comes out, who knows where you'll be in the year, hopefully not by the new year.
But this is, you're getting close to the Halloween time and we're in the midst of the sports world right now.We got baseball, playoffs, football season.
It's that emergence when like baseball, football and basketball is colliding, man.It's pretty much the best time of the year, man.
Best time of the year. It is.It's like October is that time where every sports person is tuning in to something.And whether you're a fan of football, basketball, soccer even, hockey even, something is on right now.
And you're either on your computer right now trying to find costumes for the kids, you're ready to go get trick or treat candies, you're watching your team do its thing.And with sports coming up right now, there's always something you always want
There's always something you want to enjoy to consume or enjoy eating while watching your favorite sport.For me, my favorite sport is football.I like to watch basketball live.And my wife got me into hockey.
And those are sports I can watch live for sure.But football, I can watch. on TV, on my phone, in person, anytime.Clips, highlights, all that.Absolutely.And I'm going to just state this claim right now while we're on this podcast.
I am a Florida State Seminole fan, been since the 90s, say what you want.But if you weren't there in the 90s, you can get out of here. You know, go argue with your mama.That's probably the best era y'all ever had.It is.It is, and it was.
And when it comes to professional sports, I'm a Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan.In the 90s, we were something in the defense, and we got Lombardis.So we're not like some other teams out there who don't got one.
And as of this year, 2024, we got one within the last five years.Can't say the same thing for some other fan bases.Shout out to the GOAT, Tom Brady. Yeah, we can't claim him, but he did help us get that second one.But he came and did his job.
The whole franchise, my man.He did.He did give us life.We had a lot of talent beforehand, but he was the one that got us to the playoffs and got us to the Super Bowl within the first year.And we're going pretty well with Baker.
So it says a lot about the team we had before you got there.And I love Becker.
Becker's one of those hard-nosed athletes that I would want to play alongside.He's a natural born leader, for sure.Yes.
And you wouldn't think with what was happening with him getting into the league, he'd be where he's at right now.Because a lot of guys on their fourth team in, what, five, six years, they're throwing out.
You've got to find the right system that works for you.Yes.And I'll admit it.
Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated.Exactly.Exactly.Big life lesson there.I definitely had doubts when he got to us, but I was excited to see what he did, and I'm excited to see where he goes with us.
Can't say the same for my Florida State Seminoles.The whole NIL is a new topic, but I'm going to quit yapping.I'm going to let Roll Tide do his thing, because I know in Alabama, they got no other sport to root for.So do what you got to do.Yeah, man.
So you know. Being a Bama boy, man, there was no such thing as pro football. You know what I mean?It was pretty much the proximity bubble, and you just pick a side.You know what I mean?
Some people in Alabama, they might favor the Titans, a lot favor the Falcons, a lot favor the Saints.And that's just how we got down, man.So like, yeah, I know that's a big rivalry.
I feel like, man, the Saints and the Bucs, man, they put on a pretty good show every single time, man. Yeah, as of recent, maybe.But for me, man, it's always been about the Tide.I don't give a piss about nothing but the Tide.
I don't know if you saw that.Shout out to Drewski.And I don't know that crazy little redneck that they have going viral, man, saying, I don't give a piss about nothing but the Tide.
Isn't that the white dude that's always talking about what your grandpa says, and he got the overall on.He's like, you better not come around this block if I knock the block off your head now.
No, man.You know what I'm talking about, right?I think I see what you're talking about.So no, man.
But man, growing up being a Bama fan, man, first off, just playing football in the state of Alabama, man, it was just kind of, it's one of those rare states where you It reminded me of Varsity Blues.
For those of you old enough, maybe mostly millennials, that would know what this show entailed.It was a movie too.And dream football, man.And that's kind of my upcoming, man. Bama was always a place that I always wanted to go to, man.
Back when VHSs was a thing, I used to create, I'm like, shut, oh, I gotta say this, man.Shout out my man, Brett Elmore. He was the radio personality, the commentator for my high school.He just passed away two days ago, man.Wow.
Rest in peace, Brett Elmore.Rest in peace, Brett Elmore, man.He meant a lot to me, man.But he would actually collect the game day films from his commentation. chop it up for me, put it on VHS, and I would send it out to schools.
The first school that I sent out a VHS tape trying to build my recruiting portfolio was Alabama.Went on my first official college visit to Alabama, man.And that was a fun experience.I won't get into detail because it gets a little crazy.
But hell of an experience. So yeah, man, roll tide through and through, man.Me and my family, all of my entire family, man.There's no house divided here, man.We've all been Alabama fans our whole lives, man.
So excited to see what the future holds, man.We got a dog with that boy, Ryan Williams, man.He's a female.17 years old, man.He's doing his thing.But I want to get into something more important, because what did y'all come here for?
You came here for the shit talk.You came here for the food talk. Go to food.I got to know what you got on the menu, bro.
Like, what's the typical, let's say, Saturday, Sunday, or maybe even if you're watching basketball, it could be any day of the week.Hey, man.Go to snacks, meals.
You name it.I'm a big chicken wing kind of guy when I watch sports, man.There's something about eating a good 5'10 piece, enjoying a nice cold beer to go along with it.And I'm a big lemon pepper.
I used to be a big saucy guy, but I've gotten more to the dry seasonings when it comes to wings to appreciate the lemon pepper.But if I had to get a good sauce, man, give me the, I like a good, what is it?Like a good hot garlic.
I like a good hot garlic with a sauce, but lemon pepper with the seasoning and lemon pepper sauce is good too.But if I'm not getting down on some wings, man, give me a good, give me a good burger.Of course.On game day.
On game day.Sometimes I do it, man.And it depends on like if I'm hosting and people have like.Yeah.But I think you can't go wrong with like pleasing the crowd with like a party platter of wings.I think you, you,
Went right up my alley with it, man, because lemon pepper and hot garlic are my go-to combinations, man.If I can get them combined, I will 1,000%.A lot of times, I will get lemon pepper dry rub.
And when the waiter or waitress ask you, oh, you want blue cheese or ranch?I'm like, give me buffalo.
I was just going to touch up on that, because that's a very controversial topic, depending on where you're located.Because some people swear up and down, ranch is better than blue cheese with wings.And as a kid, that's what I was taught.
And I just remember somebody telling me, you can't knock some unless you try it.And buffalo wings were originally paired with blue cheese.And as a kid, I liked blue cheese, but then I just went to ranch.But when I got older, I said, you know what?
Maybe just give it a try.So somebody had a fresh thing of blue cheese, and I had a buffalo wing, Team Flats.And it is about the sauce you get, but the right sauce.And not every blue cheese is created equally.
But I am all about blue cheese on the wings.
I think I may have had the wrong blue cheese.
Yeah, because they're not created equally.And I can't get wings without blue cheese now.
So maybe, all right, us being foodies, man, I won't. hinder my palate from experiencing the things that the chef wanted me to experience.So like, yes, I know that pairing is there for a reason.
So I'm going to trust the people that are professionals and know how to combine flavors and put this together.So like, I won't say I'm anti blue cheese.
I maybe just like you said all blue cheeses are created equally and I just maybe not had the right combination.So I'm gonna give it a try man there's a good wing spot.It's called wing snob.I think the hurricane recently.
I think that kind of hindered its opening, but they're under construction and it's popping up.I got really excited because I thought it was going to be a wing stop, man.And then I realized I misread it when I was passing by.
It probably was a wing stop.And somebody said, let's just change the name to make it look similar.
I did a little research and a little recon on Instagram, and I found out that this place is actually the official wing spot of Ohio State.So they actually have this place inside the stadium of the Buckeyes.
Of the Bills?Oh, the Buckeyes.I thought Buffalo.I was thinking Buffalo.But OK.
That makes sense.It's interesting.
You're not too far off saying the bills.I mean, Buffalo Wings, Buffalo, New York, like this is an Oregon story, right?But let me tell you my go-to, man.And it just popped in my head, because you got me excited thinking about Wings.
I'm actually getting hungry right now.
By the way, it's 10 o'clock at night.
Just to give y'all some insight.That's my eating hours.For those of you who don't know, I typically fast.That's why I eat so many burgers and stay skinny.But for me, man, mozzarella sticks.
I'm just not skinny either, but I fast too.Go ahead, my bad.
Shout out to fasting, intermittent fasting.Mozzarella sticks, man. Like that little salty, crunchy, cheesy combination with a cold bevy.Today I'm drinking, I feel like I should get sponsored by these guys, man.I'm going Voodoo again, man.
Voodoo Ranger.Who's that brewery? Good question, man.This is a Hazy, New Belgian Hazy IPA.Should be on the top.I don't know if it's local or not, man.I get it from my neighborhood hood spot, man.
I call all the hood stores, it's like kind of poppy stores, almost like bodega style gas stations.Like if he was in New York, I'm like, whenever I see like a couple of Indian cats running the register, I'm like,
I know I'm not in the hood, but like you giving me the vibes, like I'm in the hood.
So like, and they got a little, they got an assortment of snacks and food items in their convenience stores that you can't get at your Circle K or Wawa and stuff like that, man.But this is a, I don't know, man.Let me, let me figure it out.
Let me get some light to it.
I don't want to take you too, too, too much away.
This is Colorado, Fort Collins, Colorado it says. Never.They had a whole line up at the poppy store and I went for it man.9.5 ABV so.
Must be real good if you're drinking in two episodes in a row.Episode four and episode five. Yeah, man, I keep circling back, man.Got you.Yeah, I'm sipping on some proper 12 right now, proper 12 whiskey.
I've been rocking with that proper 12, man.Sam's Club had an exceptional deal on it, because they only got the big boy of my go-to, which I'm blirish, right?So black and Irish. So I typically go Jameson, but I'm through in the clutch, for sure.
Yeah, I mean, we didn't see none of this at that whiskey business event we went to, but we found some good ones that day.
Man, I still got to find that one with the samurai.Samurai, I got a picture of it.I got a picture of it.I got a picture too, man.If you find it, I bet we can find it at Total Wines.And I know we probably asked them where we could get it.
Yeah, it started turning into a blur.
It started turning into a blur at that point.Yeah.
but you said mozzarella sticks and that's a good point that you know especially when they're fresh and you feel the steam coming out of them and that cheese oozes like when you got that chili tripper dupper like those those.
Yo did you see the virality of how people remixed those mozzarella sticks Yeah, with the summer.Me and you went, they were getting them dipped in the Nashville hot.Yeah, and I was ready to spin the block to go back again.
Yo, I went to my local, there's another store, or like, it's a little chain, I think it's Floridian base.B4 Brady's, you ever been to one?Yeah, yeah, yeah, long time ago.I don't really go to them now.It's not too far from me.
I didn't even want to name the name, I didn't want to name drop. It's kind of me.
It's like before Brady's.If you like before Brady's, that's on you.That's on you.
Yeah, man.And if Bebo Brady's, if you're listening, look, man.We can help revitalize your whole game plan, man, because anyway.But man, I asked them for that Nashville seasoning on the side, man.And I sprinkled it on the mozzarella sticks.
It was actually a little pro tip move, man. if you, if you, you know, obviously we know Chili's coming through clutch with it.
They had a ultimate cheese pull, but yeah, man, if you want to check them out, like get them to add that little sprinkler to Nashville, huh?It'll set it off.
I just might have to do that.It's not, it's not too far from me.It may need to go there and knock the dust off of a before Brady's because nobody talks about nobody, nobody.
Let me know what you think. For sure, for sure.When I go there, man, the bartender, she calls me Daddy.I don't know why, but I think that's why I keep going back.That's why I keep going back.I'm like, yeah, I'm Daddy.Oh, man.Oh, man.
Stroking my ego, man.I don't even know my name no more.
They keep calling me handsome.Yeah, you got a name tag.Here you go, Daddy.Put it on your chest.Hi, my name is Daddy. Ah, yes, ma'am.Yes, ma'am.But that's a good point that you bring up, man.And that's something about mozzarella sticks.
I remember discovering them in my childhood and just wanting to get them everywhere I went.But nothing brings back a good childhood like when you get into Halloween and not just getting dressed up in something you want to be or something you love.
I remember one of my favorite Halloween costumes I did was when I dressed up like Chef from South Park. for a Halloween party.I got a big old apron and a chef hat, and a red shirt.Some people didn't know who it was.
And then another year, my buddy and I, we went downtown as Pulp Fiction.And you saw the generational gap of people who knew what I was, and then the others thinking I was Men in Black.And I'm like, come on now.
You should have been like, that is a tasty burger.I didn't have the burger.And I wanted to get that bad MF'er wallet, but I didn't get it in time.And my boy had the hair too.I got the wrong wig for him.Shout out to my boy Jack.
I should have got you a better wig for John Travolta's character.But a lot of people knew who we were.It was a slick back, and it was supposed to be a girl wig.And I got him some like, some like jerry curl type wigs.So it looked bad now.
And people were giving him shit.You never had a jerry curl?No, I had the Afro.I had the Afro, but his was like a curly jerry curl because I felt weird getting him a girl wig.But it was like, no, you needed the slick, silky hair for him.
And I was like, I didn't think about that.
And I even had like a homegirls to chop it up, you know?
You're right.You're right.And I wasn't even thinking like that in my early 20s.I was just grabbing it and bringing it.
And um, but I get, I get to this because going trick or treating and getting candies, there was always some candies you would look forward to and especially getting the king size versions.
So I wanted to know about you for you when it came to Halloween candies or just candies in general, like what's your favorite one you would look forward to, or even now, like what's your goaded candy that you're like, Hey, I'm just craving this.
So. This candy in particular still has me in a choke hold to this day.I don't, actually don't let, don't let me lie.I was going to say, I don't eat a lot of candy, but something about as of late, I don't know what it is.
Like I've been like keeping a little stash, like just tucked off.You know what I mean?And I pull it out on the late night, right?When the kids go to sleep, you know, mommy and daddy can like binge watch our shows on Netflix, what have you.
I'm going to say something and you're going to, you are, I bet you can already guess what I'm going to say, but what I wish more trick or treat givers would do would be this version, which I don't know if they even have it in a surplus.
Like they do Reese cups.1000% golden is the goal of all Halloween candy point blank period.But the white chocolate Reese's cup.Of course.Is, shut up bro.I feel like I know.
Okay.Hey, like the door was open. Hello.I just walked in that bitch.I just walked in that bitch.
That was a good one.For those of you who don't know, I do prefer my chocolate white.
Oh, we're going to lose some subscribers now.
The regular chocolate is good, too.I just haven't had it in a while.
Shut up!The white chocolate Reese's Cups, man.That's my go-to automatic.But just for the sake of what I think is most popular and readily accessible, I'm going to hit you with the Reese's Cups.That's the goaded Halloween candy for sure.Yeah.
OK.OK.I got nothing against the Reese's Cups.I definitely like them when they're out of the fridge and they're chilled. Oh, yeah, that's a nice cooling effect.
And something that I did a while ago for July 4th, I made a video about it was I made s'mores and I had you were going to say, how did I know I had the Hershey's? I had the Hershey's.I had the Cookies and Cream Hershey.Then I had the Reese's.
And something that I did the second time around was chilling them.And then I had a torch.Because typically, you put the marshmallow over the fire to cook it.But we did it one time when the kids were asleep.And my wife and I did it over the table.
And we torched the marshmallow.And we had a chilled Reese's cup.And the hot and cold blend. Oh.You got to try that.You got to try that.
For that big back activity that you got going on.
I mean, I've been one for years.So whether I lose weight or not, it's going to be a big back mentality.I'm here for it, my brother.I'm here for it.But my candy, my favorite candy growing up until this day, bro, is Snickers.
And I'm going to tell you how serious this is, bro.
I feel like if you had glasses, you would take them off. and get closer to the camera right now.
Oh, man.See, I remember in middle school, I had braces.And when you have braces, you get a whole list of what you can't have.And the biggest things stuck out were caramel and nuts.What are the two biggest elements of Snickers?
So I couldn't have that.And I was supposed to have my braces on for two years.But thankfully, to following instructions and not eating the wrong things, I got them off maybe a little over a year and a half, under two years.
And I remember the first, within hours of me getting them off and getting home, I rode my bike to a little corner store and bought four different variations of Snickers.I bought the regular. the almond.
And then they had like these little snickers like this point in time, they had like, I think I think they're called like munchables, where they had made like chocolates and little ball forms.And yeah, yeah, this is back in like maybe 2000.
2003, 2004.And they had little bags where they had miniature Kit Kats, miniature Hershey's, miniature Snickers.
Oh, like the Butterfinger BBs.
Similar to Butterfinger BBs, yeah, just like those, but other candies.And I bought four variations of Snickers and tore them up because I was just like, I've been waiting so long to have one of these.
And to this day, I will tear down a Snickers, even their Snickers peanut butter. And another one that's close to them is a Zerobar, because those are white chocolate.You ever seen a Zerobar?
The silver packing with the blue?Yeah, yeah.I had one of those in.
Bro, bro, those are underrated.
I don't even remember.It's literally almost like a Snicker, but it's nougat, caramel, and white chocolate, and something else.But it's almost literally like a Snicker bar just with white chocolate.
Where they getting distributed at?Who has them?Who's carrying it?Do you know?
I see.I would see them in the store.I would see them in the public system.So I can go to a regular chain?You know what, bro?I haven't seen them recently because I don't look like that.
But if I do see it in the store, I'll let you know because it could be in the public or at Walgreens.
But I definitely don't look. Honestly, my eyes gravitate directly to the white pack of Reese's if I'm looking at a section of chocolate.Sorry.Hey, this is an underrated thing, man.I don't know what's going on with me, man.
But the Lifesaver Wildberry pack, they got me in the choco, man.I'm not a gummy fan, but to each his own.Oh, see.Oh, you.Oh, man.Bro, gummies are like my. That's my Achilles heel.
Outside of Reese's, I'm way more, I was about to have a pause moment, because I was about to say, I'm way more of a fruity guy.
Give me fruit flavors.Just that clip alone will set you up.
Yeah, bro.Call it what you say.Like, whatever, guys.I want them fruities over anything chocolate, man.Like, chocolate is cool, but I can eat, like, gummy fruity candy or, like, sweet tarts, something like that.Like, just
Yeah, I can do that all day, bro.Whether it's a movie theater, sitting back, I just ate dinner, chilling.I don't want a dessert.I don't want a decadent, rich dessert.Give me a pack of Lifesaver gummies.
I'll sit up, watch a movie on my end cap, finish the rest of my yak off, and I'm gonna sleep a happy camper.
For sure.Yeah, for sure.I'm more chocolate and candy, but if I had to pick a candy, I do go to Skittles.So I wanted to bring this up to you because there is this company that popped up on Facebook and it's called Build A Chocolate Bar By Chunk.
Now, if I can build my own chocolate, maybe I'll be a bigger fan, you know what I'm saying?My go-to, oh, have you seen, speaking of Halloween season, it's either Twix or Snickers has like a green nougat I didn't see that.For Halloween right now.
Yeah, man.There's no flavor change ups.It's just the, it's basically essentially food dye.
Okay. No, I haven't seen that, actually.All right, let me make sure.
Is this a Florida-based brand company, or is this like a nationwide thing?
I think it's nationwide.I think it's nationwide, but it popped up on Facebook.So what you do is you pick between the oat milk bar or 70% bar.That's what's available right now.So you pick one of the two.And then you get to pick your mix-ins.
You can choose up to five.So you have choices like Spooky Sprinkles and Peanut Butter Cups. gluten-free mint cookies.They say mallows, but it's marshmallows. Caramel, dried strawberries, pretzels, chocolate gems.And the tango chips, bro.
Coffee crunch, toasted coconut, peanuts, almonds, dried blueberries, sour gummy zombies, and crispy rice.Then you get to even design a wrapper for your preference.You can name the bar something.
You could leave a note to say who it was made for, leave a message, and you can order a certain amount of bars.It starts off at $24.95, and then if you And you can say how many bars you want.
And then you, it says you order two plus and save a few dollars per bar.And then you get a gift box.So you literally can create your own chocolate bar.And there are like, and there was like a size comparison I saw.
And they're bigger than like the average chocolate bar.So you're getting a giant chocolate bar.
Man, what would you go like just looking through that lineup?What would you, what would you make sure is up with?
I'm going to hit you off the rip with the peanut butter cup, the caramel, the pretzels, and then this is where it gets tricky because I'm going for the flavor.
So now it's like if I had to max it out at five, I don't want to do potato chips because I don't want it too salty.And you already got pretzels, too, though.I already got pretzels, exactly.
So it's like, do I want to throw in some fruit and get some dried strawberries to go a little even three? I'd probably go peanuts or the crispy rice.I'm looking at crispy rice because I already have the pretzels.
So I don't want to throw in peanuts now on top of that.So I'm like, well, maybe the crispy rice.
And get a little protein with the peanuts, though. That and all the almonds.
We can get a little healthy.
Almonds, I don't know if that would pair well.You know what I mean?
But see, I like the almond Snickers, though.So that's where I'm like, I can rock with it.But peanuts are like the norm.And it's almost like you're building a take five.
Exactly.I was thinking that, too.That's an underrated bar, man.That's an underrated Halloween snack.
And look at the background of them making it, bro.You see it in the background, how they're just pouring the chocolate over all the toppings, bro?
They just literally smother it in a bucket of milk chocolate.Yeah, bro.It's crazy. Look at them.They're about to solicit you.You're going to get about three or four emails after this pod is over.Nah, bruh.I ain't trying to do all that.
The algorithm is looking at you being too interested.They're going to be like, see, look, here it is.
I wanted to show you this.Look at that Hershey bar, and look at this bar.
Oh, wow.That's like Willy Wonka type shit.I'm telling you, bro.Six times bigger than the Leaning Chocolate Bar. They literally playing with Willy Wonka's name, bro.They got the, you look at, look at the rapper, look, look.The gold.
Yeah, you see the gold rapper?
Yeah.Go down a little bit.Like the golden ticket, right?Yeah, like the golden ticket's right there.That's fire.I like it.I like it.
I like anything that's like nostalgic, you know?
It's made in Salem, Oregon.There's that, where it's made from.
I'm thinking I would probably follow suit on every option that you just suggested. I feel like I would also combine the pretzel and potato chips.Oh, cuz I'm like, as of late, man, I'm just a sucker for like, sweet and savory.
That combination is just fire to me.Yeah.Caramel is a must.The peanut butter and chocolate like Name a better combination.
I was just going to say, unless you're allergic to peanut butter, I'm sorry.If you're allergic to peanuts, I'm sorry.You're missing out on one of the best pairings.
I feel sorry for your mother.I feel sorry for you.
And for those people that are allergic to this stuff, do not come at us saying you're being insensitive.No, we're just saying our opinion.I know there's some people that are like, you shouldn't tease allergies.We're not teasing allergies.
I said this in the last 5 Trap, you're media trained.I'm not. I'm sorry, peanut butter is delicious.Oh yeah, I love it.I love it.I feel bad.I mean, I feel bad for you if you can't enjoy peanut butter.But yeah, I would go with the PB cups.
I would go with the pretzels and potato chips.I would go with the caramel sauce for sure, for sure, for sure. Because salted caramel is like, oh, yeah.
I think that's what enlightened my taste buds to know like, oh, if you hit a little salt with this little sweet, chef's kiss all day.Yeah.But I'd probably be, I wouldn't mess with none of those.I wouldn't mess with none of those fruits.
The blueberries and the strawberries, that was kind of off-putting to even think about in a chocolate bar. I don't know, something about it don't sit right.Maybe if it was a pastry, or a cupcake, or a cake.OK, you can implement maybe fruit there.
Or if it was a dairy type of deal, or for me.
I don't know.The strawberry kind of caught my attention, because if it's dry, I feel like there's more flavor to it.I feel like blueberries don't have too much of a potent flavor like that to really notice it.I'm thinking texturally.
When you bite into it, it's going to be like a little chew that wouldn't be common in your everyday chocolate bar.
You know what it'll probably be like?It'll probably be like those little cereals that have the strawberry or the blueberry mornings, where they have the dried fruit inside the cereal.Have you ever seen those?
It'll probably be something like that, like the texture like that.
Well, either way, it's not getting my stamp of approval.I would go.That's fair. Yeah, yeah, I know.I would probably go, what else did we?The Rice Krispies.No, actually, I could probably avoid those.I think I'm solid.
I'm set with the standard chocolate, peanut butter cups, caramel sauce.Pretzels and chips.Yeah, that's my, ooh, peanuts.
Throw peanuts in there.You did mention the peanuts.
Yeah, throw them peanuts in there.And I feel like that's a legendary bar right there, bro, to be honest.And you can name it.So if you had to name it, what would you name the chocolate?Otis.
You pick a house nigga name.
So look, where that joke was about to get fun because I'm just a nut, you would have been like, Otis what?
Otis Nuts.And you know what?You would have set me up.But I sure as hell thought of a slave name when you said it.
I'm glad you were thinking for our ancestors, brother.
That's it.And then that damn Jay-Z and Kanye song played in my head. Yeah.
And the way you described the chocolate, that fits.Nah, I'd probably call it Odie's.Odie's Nuts.Yeah.Oh, man.That's the one.Coming to a store near you, motherfuckers.
Oh, man.That's a plug, man.
It would not sell at all.Somebody would buy it to talk about it.Little Timmy's going to be like, Mommy, I want some Odie's.No.
Oh, God.Oh, God.That was too funny. Shout out to Boogie Ranger, man.Keeping me straight.But since we're on the topic of candies, which one would you say would you have to toss out if you got them in your Halloween bag?Man.
OK, I'm going to shed some light, I'm going to inform, and I'm going to educate.Everybody's seen this candy.Nobody knows what the fuck the name of this candy is. but everybody seems to have one or two.
Sometimes if you go into an old neighborhood, you might get way too many in your Halloween bag.Those little strawberry candies that look like- That your grandmas have?The grandma used to have like next to the butterscotch candies.Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know the name of them.You're right.I'm gonna tell you, you know what they are?What? Strawberry bonbons.Those are bonbons.
That's what they're called.Elaborate.Who the fuck knows what a bonbon is?
I don't know what a bonbon is.That's what they're called.I remember hearing bonbons Like maybe on Married With Children or something like crazy, like 80s, 90s sitcom.
I don't know what a bonbon is, but those little strawberries with the green top wrapper twisted up, made to look like the little vines and leaves coming from it.Yeah.Those are strawberry bonbons.
I've actually get, I gave them a try once recently, actually. They're not bad.They're not horrible.But the fact that nobody knows your name, bro.Like, I don't want you at my party, bro.Like, I don't know your name.
You're not invited.So strawberry bonbons is getting some light and some attention now.
They're getting some education.I want the people to know, because maybe you can try it, and you might actually enjoy it.Because I actually tried it, and I enjoyed it.But still, it's like that little stranger that just hijacked the party.
And it's like, bro, who invited you?I don't even know your name, bro.Get up out of here.You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.OK.
I had to pick one candy to toss out.I'm trying to think between chocolate and a candy.For me, I already mentioned I don't like gummies.So that one, I don't want to double down on that.
But one chocolate I do not like, and I tried it again as an adult.I tried 100 Grand again.And I don't know if this was a bad pickup, but it was just not good.It was just not.
Is it 100 grand like a crunch bar almost?
It's like a crunch bar that's thicker with caramel and something else.Sounds amazing.But see, I remember as a kid I liked it.But I tried it again as an adult.And I thought maybe I just got a bad one.And I tried another one.
And I was like, no, no, this ain't hitting like I remember.Because all these other candies are hitting. and there's something about it that just wasn't the same.So that one would get the immediate toss out of my bag.
And if I had to pick a candy candy, you know what, especially as a recent, nerds.Yeah, I feel you with that.Nerds, man.I feel like nerds are just little crack rocks to invade your system.
I want to give him up like a squirrelly by him.Say they eat nerds.
Just like how old are you?
Yeah, man.That one I have to toss out.There's other candies better than nerds to get down on.
What about those little nerd clusters, man?I feel like people going nuts on them.And the nerd ropes.People go crazy.
Yeah.I don't like that because the whole gummy aspect.There was a time I took an adult version.Yeah, I took an adult version of one.And I was just like, nah, this ain't.
I did too.And I thoroughly enjoyed it because I don't partake in a party like that.But when I do, It's a different type of vibe.And with that being said, ladies and gentlemen, you have now experienced episode five.
of the Between the Buns podcast, man.
Yep.If y'all tuned in this far, thank you so much for tuning in and hearing us ramble about Halloween stuff and Halloween treason.If we said something that offended you, don't take it personal, because we weren't trying to.
We're just sharing our opinion.But chime in on how you feel.Actually, I was.
So tell me.Come to me without a hey-mo.I don't care.
You got any last words before we end this episode and end the night?
If you had an issue with what I had to say, if I offended you, I love you.But I don't give a fuck.I'm just saying.
Wild words from an honest man.I can't help but respect that.For me, man, everybody has an opinion.And they say, sometimes they call us assholes. Everyone has an opinion, just like everyone has an asshole.I've always been a likable asshole, man.
I have been too.I have been too.And I told myself in my life, I'd rather be an asshole than be a pushover any day of the week. And it makes me sleep at night.
Amen.But I wish nothing but blessings and prosperity for everybody in the world, no matter what you prefer.
But y'all, at the end of the day, it's kind of like us on our food channels, on our food pages, and now with this in sync combination of what we got going on with Between the Buns. Everything in terms of taste is perspective.You know what I mean?
Your perspective is different from mine.We don't always see eye to eye on those things.The rest of the world, you can't expect us to understand what you enjoy for us.You can't expect us to enjoy it.
Your yuck isn't going to be my yum all the time, and my yum is not always going to be your yuck. Sometimes we can meet in the middle.Sometimes we got to just agree to disagree.
But at the end of the day, I want to say personally, I appreciate you for tuning in and chopping it up with us, engaging with us, I hope, you know, and all that good stuff, man.So like, that's all I got to say.
Yeah, and just piggyback off that you know I don't want to go on too long as we're a few minutes after 30 minutes, but, um, you know, everybody like he's like Carlton said, you know, we all have opinions, some of us have bigger palettes some of us have lesser palettes for just preference.
And, you know, That's what we're here for.We're here to share our experience.We're here to share our why.We're here to share what we like and what we don't like and our why.And it's also open for discussion.
So it's good to share your opinions so we can see other perspectives.We can see what other people's thoughts are.Our ears are always open.And we could also touch up on them in later episodes.
And as time goes on, as the show goes on, you can even be featured on an episode.So you can have your voice heard.And it's all about showing love and support and being entertaining at the same time while being ourselves.
That's all you could ask for, right?
One thousand percent, bro.
Couldn't have said it better. You know, so I got nothing left to say.My name is Travis, a.k.a.Baloo Eats.
Please follow us, the Between the Buns podcast, Carlton, Hypebeast Burger, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcasts.And I'm signing off for the day.Thank you for tuning in.Peace.Peace.
