#321 - The New MFK: Kurky

• Myke & Ryan • Season 6 • Episode 321

Share episode

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:

hello everybody, welcome to a very sneaky episode of the cologne podcast. Sneaky, yeah, because we released 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:

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:

He didn't lift a fucking finger.

Myke:

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, try it, todd. And then he sent an invoice for that.

Ryan:

Today we're smelling on yet another fragrance Again. If you're a patron, you would know that we have an upcoming episode where we smell Ormond Jane, mm-hmm. Ormond Woman. Mike got a Travital Mouser from Neiman's, I'm assuming that's right. This is why you're in the Big D. You also got a carded sample of a Mason Francis Kershaw fragrance that's right, called Kirky oh Kirky fragrance that's right, called Kirky, oh Kirky. Kirky has a little bit of a little write-up in here. By the way, when you open up the card, it's a sample. It looks like children have drawn all over it Uh-huh, but it says Kirky is a poetic invitation to reveal our inner child with a burst of spontaneous, carefree laughter. Kirky with its fruity musky notes, encourage us to see life in color and be filled with wonder again.

Myke:

Yes, the reason why this is so childlike in nature is apparently. I mean, I'm shocked. They must have been idiots, but Francis Kirkjohn's friends growing up could not pronounce Kirkjohn, so they had to call him Kirky. I kind of like that. Yeah, so this is like an inspired fragrance of his youth and bringing back these fond memories of childhood and stuff like that playing with friends and having a carefree life, you know, before bills came and crushed his soul. Yeah, mm-hmm, life sucks, it does it does suck. Life sucks, it does it does suck. But maybe this review from drama lola diva might just boost your spirits, ryan. It's a joke of a fragrance, honestly you said this again drama lola diva.

Myke:

She says it's a joke of a fragrance. Honestly, it's not how it smells, it's how it doesn't. I sprayed it generously on my wrist and nothing, nothing. So don't tell me it's personal, because it ain't, and at that price, why bother? And then like a bunch of emojis that are like rolling their eyes, what's?

Ryan:

her name. Drama alert Drama.

Myke:

Drama Lola Diva Like Lolita Maybe.

Ryan:

Okay.

Myke:

She's pissed, so can't wait to smell that one. But first you know what we gotta do we gotta take that old time machine back and talk about madagascar, that clone by insider parfums hit the music.

Ryan:

Todd One Night Stand Review. Well, mike, after laying in bed with Dan Rothschild, oh yeah, and smelling Madagascar, which he has a beautiful, I don't know what he would call it, but like a 300 mil, like glass Flacon. Yeah flacon, okay, filled with it. It's a vintage Guerlain and it's like at the bottom of it it's just like vanilla is just falling.

Myke:

Crystallizing at the bottom of it, which he said is the evidence of high quality materials. Apparently, if you're a Patreon, you would see the video of that and you'd be able to look at that beautiful ancient Guerlain flacon.

Ryan:

And there's also really cool people in there. Seriously, there's hundreds and they're freaking amazing and nice. But what do you think?

Myke:

about the. I thought you meant the video. Like us, like we're awesome people in the video. We're awesome. I mean, you get to see my arms after arm day and they were looking pretty fucking swell.

Ryan:

He literally bragged about it, which was quite sad, because I've seen this man hold a pistol.

Myke:

Moving on, what did you think about Madagascar, ryan?

Ryan:

After the episode why'd you have to do that? Why'd you have to do?

Myke:

that? No, I'm just jealous. I didn't think of the cut myself. Don't worry about the scar It'll leave behind, right?

Ryan:

All right, he's going to be in the joke. Yeah, fucking pumping iron.

Myke:

Before every video, I'm going to like we actually have some dumbbells here. I'm going to like get a freaking pump on. It was a damn.

Ryan:

He's yoked out all the time. Uh, I really did like it. I told dan in the episode if you watch it or listen to it is that I asked him. I said do you feel proud of this? And like, uh, do you feel like it's like the most sophisticated fragrance that you've created? Right, and he goes look it's it is. But yes, he was proud of it and he did say the original smelled very sophisticated, it's very elegant. Yeah, it is very elegant smelling and one of the more tolerable vanilla fragrances that I've personally smelled.

Myke:

Oh, it's really, really nice To me. Call me partial If you like. Mousse Ravageur, I think this will blow your fucking mind.

Ryan:

Yeah, I think so too.

Myke:

It's pretty impressive yeah because it's in that family of masculine vanilla. Yeah, it kind of has a little attitude. It's a little bit more classical smelling.

Ryan:

It is seriously sharp. I would recommend anybody at the, at the very least, if you can get a sample of it, sample it.

Myke:

It's yeah, it's pretty impressive, for sure yeah, that you were just saying just in general, and I think it helps us honestly to not have smelled the original, because your mind wants to always go back to that and sometimes, when you experience something like this one, it feels new, yeah, and so there's an excitement. I think we have to that fragrance because we hadn't smelled the original. So we're not just like trying to apple to apple this thing, we're just enjoying a fragrance by itself. That felt like a new experience, dude you know it was nice I was.

Ryan:

I was pleasantly surprised, no jokes aside, and like not giving a shit what dan thinks about us or not, I'm being serious like right, yeah, yeah, I was impressed with it.

Myke:

Well, guess what? We have a bottle coming to us of that of madagascar. Damn, and dan said we didn't have to give it away. So we should probably give it away but if you're a patron, it'll probably get.

Myke:

Yeah, we'll give it. We've already given one away, thanks to dan as well. We sent that over to our friend steven from the patreon, because he's over landlocked with him yeah, over there, so he's able to ship it at a, you know, a cheaper rate. He said for some reason it takes too long to get to him but it's not like crazy expensive on the shipping, whereas shipping something to America would be. So he's going to send us this bottle. I will fill up my two decants that Chris Fragmental gave me. So I, you know I'll get the full bottle. I'm just being honest here. No, that's fine.

Ryan:

I'm going to wear it. It's seriously really good and I think whoever ends up getting it is going to be I know Stephen's going to like it when he gets it, but I'm pretty sure anybody gets the bottle we get sent to us here in the States. Right, they're going to enjoy it. Absolutely. Yeah, there you go. There's our one night stand review of Madagascar by Insider Parfums Also a good friend of ours, dan the fragrance weirdo, yeah.

Ryan:

And now let's smell old Kirky Boy. I'm really hyped for this because we looked at the notes and, like, the top notes are raspberry and peach yeah, which we're both big fans of. I love peach in a fragrance. Mike could seriously eat a peach for. Yeah, which we're both big fans of. I love peach in a fragrance. Mike could seriously eat a peach for hours, for hours. Hmm, okay, was not what I was expecting.

Myke:

I'm going to have to give it a minute because I'm getting a ton of alcohol right now.

Ryan:

Really Okay. Yeah, on my skin, hmm, wow, the on my skin, hmm, wow, the skin is pretty badass, I think I sprayed it too close.

Myke:

What a fucking amateur move. God damn it.

Ryan:

He'll be mad at himself all fucking day.

Myke:

Oh dude, you rocked me when you were just freaking, emasculating my muscles. Just haven't recovered.

Ryan:

Wow, okay, so let me double check this before I say this really quick, okay now we're getting into it.

Myke:

It kind of bubble gummy.

Ryan:

Yeah, it kind of actually reminds me of like those creamy Werther's or whatever we've gotten before. Really, yeah, like the fruity ones, yeah, but like it's that mixture of fruit with the cream. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, cream savers, dude, I thought I saw. Yeah, it does say this it's a radiant eau de parfum capturing the irresistible allure of tutti frutti candy. Which tutti frutti? I don't remember ever having tutti frutti candy. Did you ever have that?

Ryan:

maybe it's a french thing, uh, wrapped in a variety of embrace of white musk. This invokes the creamy warmth of vanilla and musk, creating a delightful gourmand experience. That's where I was going to get out. This is very gourmandy, but maybe because I just love sweets so much. Yeah, this is an easy gourmand for me, and y'all know me if you know the history of this show I fucking hate gourmands. But, right at the gate. This is pretty fun. This is pretty nice.

Myke:

I don't think you like the warm savory gourmands Definitely not. This smells like candy.

Ryan:

It honestly smells like you walked into a fucking legitimate candy shop. You know what I mean?

Myke:

Yeah, or you know how you get the big bags of assorted candy yeah, that for like halloween or whatever and you open up the bag and you can smell all the different candies, but the bubble gum is like more prominent.

Ryan:

Yeah, that's kind of what this smells like to me I could see that and I can also see I don't know where we were at, just really but like, almost like a bag of different saltwater taffies, oh yeah I could just a mixture of different types of whatever fruity candy it's more rounded on the card.

Myke:

On my skin it's very one note. It's very like this bubble gum wrapper sort of a smell on the card.

Ryan:

I smell more like the peach and stuff is it perplexing you a little bit, because when we saw raspberry and peach, I thought this was going to have a really sharp, but it's not. You said, right, it's really rounded and really smooth. Yeah, it's like creamy, but I thought we were going to spray this on and we're going to have this really bursty, tart blast. That was like really, you know, bright. Yeah, it's still bright in its own way, but it is man and this is considered unisex, by the way, right do you?

Myke:

believe that. I mean there's no laws against a guy wearing this, but might be shocked if you did so.

Ryan:

Is this a fragrance you I guess we'll have to wait till later but be thinking about, is this a fragrance you could see yourself wearing or not? Briefly, let me hit you with the price and popularity yes, make it brief 2.4 ounces and a very beautiful peachy mfk bottle which I do like the color of. I like to look. Yeah, it's a beautiful bottle it is, you're looking at, about 245 dollars. For how much? 2.4 ounces? Hmm, what's like 75 mil or something around that.

Myke:

Yeah, that's not bad, it's not it's a.

Ryan:

It's a little up there to smell, like you know, bubble gum in a halloween bag. It's got a very alarming rating though okay 3.31 out of5, so very mid yes, it's the price tag.

Myke:

A lot of the people were complaining that it smells like a room spray for high dollar fragrance price wow, you're not for real.

Ryan:

Guys on the tester strip I am getting now I'm getting the bubble gum that you get at Halloween. That hard as hell. Your teeth will come out of your bubble, yeah. Come out of your fucking gums while you're chewing it, yeah.

Myke:

The kids always get irritated because you get those bags at a discount. Oh yeah, it's kind of like you're shopping at one of those evil gray markets, but anyways, they always get irritated because the whoppers that come in there my kids love whoppers, the whoppers that come in those bags you don't like them. No what I don't like the texture of having a crunch through them Like chewing that chocolate covered malt.

Ryan:

No, oh my god.

Myke:

Do you mind? I'm talking about my children, ryan. Okay, stop making it about me. So they always complain because the whoppers taste like the bubble gum. Okay, you know, because they're all 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. If I could cut the Whoppers in half and like put them in milk or something, I'd be fine with it. But I don't like the dry crunchy feeling against my teeth with a sweet.

Ryan:

Let me tell you what my mom used to get. And I Let me tell you what my mom used to get, and I used to get them as well, because she raised me. This is back in the day when Sonic Drive-Thru actually used to be good.

Myke:

Oh yes, if you're not in the States, sonic is America's favorite drive-in. Apparently that's their slogan.

Ryan:

Yeah, you used to be able to pull up. You can still do it. Push a button and you talk to somebody. They used to roller skate food out. Yeah, do it. Push a button and you know you talk to somebody. They, they used to roller skate food out. Yeah, it's true, they don't do that anymore. Yeah, too many people died. Uh, our local sonic it's usually the chef comes out and gives you the food. Yeah, because it's one person working. It is. It's the saddest state of affair I've ever seen. Yeah, but back in its prime. Now they still make milkshakes. They've done the thing where they jump the shark. They make like peanut butter and jelly, milkshakes and everything else.

Myke:

Right, yeah, they're like the chocolate-covered nerds earthquake, milkshake or some dumb shit. Yeah, it's all stupid.

Ryan:

But back then they had a very linear one. They had one just a chocolate malt 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 in the Sonic Drive-Thru anymore, known for its fucking shakes, and chocolate malt shakes are like an American pastime, yeah.

Myke:

Guys, you should see the way you're flapping your arms around.

Ryan:

I look like Flappy Bird right now.

Myke:

I'm fucking pissed. Yeah, he's like basically doing jumping jacks. He's so upset, dude.

Ryan:

Well, it drives me crazy. Why is it that we get people that come in? They come into an establishment, they go. Oh, that's what the American tradition is, yeah.

Myke:

Let's change it up. Rarely will you ever find a place that goes been doing it the same way since 1957. Because we have a place that we go to for lunch and we go there and it's like the first day after a new person's bought it, and so my gut reaction to hearing that was to pull our server aside and go just fucking shoot us straight. Is he gonna come in here and wreck shit this? Actually happened yeah, I swear to god I go. Are the prices going up? Is the quality going down?

Ryan:

lunchtime they're genius, everything on their menu, on their lunch menu they have like this big lunch menu. Everything that you find on there is ten dollars, ten bucks and it's really well done.

Myke:

Well like, if you get a burger, it's a badass burger, yeah, they're. They have a pulled pork sandwich that I get it's badass, it's so good, and that's. They have a pulled pork sandwich that I get it's badass, it's so good, and that's another story.

Ryan:

the pulled pork sandwich oh yeah, he's been having a conundrum with that shit.

Myke:

God, I'm already seeing problems here. But the first thing I'm like I know they're going to go. Oh man, you know what Things are. I'm looking at the numbers here. I think we need to go to those frozen beef patties, buy them in bulk and then they taste different. Everybody can remember back when shit used to be better.

Ryan:

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 this food was. Yeah, and I asked Mike I was like you think they make onion rings here? I bet you they're badass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so onion rings here, I bet you they're badass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I asked the lady or the server, you know she's like yeah, we make them, but they don't make them as a side. They only make two to put on a specific burger.

Myke:

Right, and it has something to do with the kitchen being small and some like weird contamination thing yeah, because their onions are an allergy and so like they have batter that they're gonna fry fish in and you know whatever name it. So they have their batter for that, but they would have to have a special batter for onions, yeah. And so she was just like we can't just have massive vats of batter just for the onions, we don't have enough space. So they have a small thing where they just do two at a time, made to order, and she's like they are badass, but you have to get the sandwich that has them on it, god it, just it drives me nuts.

Ryan:

I want, I want to try these, but I don't want to have to try them on the burger, I guess, until I'm on the side.

Myke:

yeah, you could, and you would have two onion rings to eat burger, but you. But you know, that's just the thing. It kind of hits you wrong, but you 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 used to do this one thing and now they don't. And you caught us, you reeled us in. You know, it's like all your relationships in high school and college. It's like all your relationships in high school and college. It's like, oh, you fell in love with this person. Now that you're dating them, they're like, oh, low effort. Now they're not the same person they used to be, you know.

Ryan:

I think a lot of people go through the old bait and switch. Oh yeah, everybody always gives their best foot forward in a relationship when they're first starting off Like oh my God, he's so sweet.

Myke:

He pays for everything, and then he's like yeah, I will say it's probably mostly guys that do that.

Ryan:

You think?

Myke:

so yeah, because I know a few gals, really, women don't change that much.

Ryan:

Really, I don't know. I think everybody's guilty.

Myke:

Well, everybody's a little guilty. I think guys are more guilty. The guy's just not showing up with 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% of dudes that are married.

Ryan:

I mean, there's also women that do certain things. No women are perfect. Then they women that do certain things no women are perfect. Then they don't do those certain things. And you're like what happened to that certain thing? I used to like that certain thing.

Myke:

Yeah, You're like. I used to love this specific casserole you'd make. Now you never make it. You used to make key lime butter when you would grill my salmon. Now you don't. Dude, you've changed. I want out of this shit.

Ryan:

It drives me crazy, though, if I tell anybody I really like something they make and they never make it again. Yeah, I'm like what is the fucking logic If somebody literally gushes to me like oh my God, ryan, the cheeseburgers you made the way you made them. Oh my fucking God, I love them. Yeah.

Myke:

I'm like I'll make these. At least Every time I see this person, I'm going to make this, I'll make them. Yeah, I was the same way and I'm sorry I did this to you. But Ryan, again he has this curse. He tells somebody I love when you made this. Time you were like I love when you made a million dollars, mike, and I haven't made it since. I've got to go fund me.

Ryan:

Guys, dad jokes well, who do you see wearing it? Yeah, it's very feminine yeah, it feels feminine, it feels mid-20s but I will say drama lola diva might be onto something, because I'm not smelling a lot of it right now. It is soft, quickly becoming nose blind to this, at the very least.

Myke:

Yeah, I think we have to be careful of two things. One, we sprayed it out of this tiny fucking sample decant, yeah, or carded sample, and then also we're smelling the hell out of it, so we could be making ourselves a little nose blind.

Ryan:

I re-upped and, yeah, I can smell it right now. I think she might be onto something. I think it's going to fall off a fucking cliff, which sucks, because, god, the opening is so creamy, fruity candy to me, yes, and it has that kind of molecule of one thing.

Myke:

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's tutti frutti, maybe.

Ryan:

maybe it's sugar alcohols are you gonna skip it, sample it or?

Myke:

buy it. What are you gonna do, ryan?

Ryan:

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 it leans way more feminine. It is fun but also that it seems to die down pretty quick and at that price point. Those couple of factors I'm out.

Myke:

It's so funny that the episode we just did for Ormond Woman we argued about the wearability as a man even being labeled woman, but this that's labeled unisex and we're both like it feels extremely feminine, very feminine. That being said, would smell amazing on a woman. Sure, I do feel like it's a little too youthful though, hmm, for like type of gals.

Ryan:

So then, what we didn't really say. But what age is this, do you think? I think mid twenties. Yeah, I could see that.

Myke:

It's light, it's youthful, it's very candy, very bubble gum.

Ryan:

I'm serious when I say that this is really pretty Out the gate. This thing is gorgeous and would smell incredible on a woman. Yeah.

Myke:

I think we just need to. Sometimes it's tough with a carded sample to really know the kind of, you know, dispersion and that sort of thing that's going to happen with an actual atomizer.

Ryan:

Yeah Makes you wonder should all houses just do at the very least a 5 mil atomizer of their samples for things, so people can really get a good wearing out of it? What's that like?

Myke:

two or three. I think it's a 2 mil. Yeah, typically, I think what we just need to do is actually just split the sample and just spray the hell out of it when we do an episode on a card sample right there. Yeah, I think so because you probably, when you do a full wearing of something, you're probably going to do a mil or two. Oh, yeah, for sure.

Ryan:

I feel like I wear that whole thing when I wear my real fragrances.

Myke:

Yeah, I feel like I wear that whole thing when I wear my real fragrances. Yeah, I wouldn't doubt if you were spraying two, three mil, I definitely would, because I will spray carbon sometimes, like you wear a fragrance, I'll spray the shit out of it and I'll look and I'll go. Damn, I just put a dent in that thing. I feel like a damp librarian.

Myke:

Let me say one thing really quickly about prada lunarosa carbon this is so funny because steve just posted a video talking about how we pretty much talk about carbon every fucking episode look, I swear to god we have no ties to this dumb ass company okay, that should prove it he's lying.

Ryan:

We get uh royalties from it I wish we did, but going to tell you what they better. At least pay for a fucking headstone when we're gone, because of all the Made out of carbon, 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 I smell it, for the price, everything that shit smells incredible. It is high end as hell. Yeah, I do love it. I really do.

Myke:

Yeah, this one's a skip for me. It's a skip for me too. That's not saying it's a bad fragrance. It smells gorgeous, dude. It is not us at all, but that doesn't make it bad, I think, for the right person. Ladies, ladies, ladies or guys. If you're really looking for a feminine fragrance, gentlemen, this is that. I mean. It is nice. I'm curious to see if it does wear really light. That was a massive complaint about this in the comment section.

Ryan:

I'm starting to believe it. That would be my complaint too.

Myke:

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 friction 100, 100, yeah.

Ryan:

Yeah, I don't know, it's definitely a skip. I do recommend to any female out there. If you smell it, you may like this might be a. Maybe you don't want some to last long either too.

Myke:

It's true I like lighter fragrances. I'll go to my carbon fiber headstone, paid for by Prada, saying it. So I don't have any problem with this being a lighter fragrance, but it shouldn't be this light, not for that price tag.

Ryan:

Guess old Kirky was just hanging out in candy shops all the time? Huh, probably. I mean wouldn light not for that price tag. Guess old kirky was just hanging 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 so good I feel like this is an important question.

Myke:

What was your go-to candy? You have to pick one from childhood.

Ryan:

Wow, from childhood one man that just got all the time. Fuck, that is a hard one. They don't make them like they used to. Okay, I'm going to give you my favorite and then honorable mention. That's close, all right. There's one that they don't make it like they used to.

Myke:

There's one they don't make anymore, to my knowledge I'm going to tell you mine, and then my honorable mention will be my grandmother's. Okay, we both had one that it was like a go-to if we were going to sneak a little A little sweet too.

Ryan:

The one they don't make it like they used to is Shock Tarks when it first came out.

Myke:

Oh God, I forgot about those things. Do they even still make those? They do, oh, really, and they usually make them in the tiny versions now and stuff.

Ryan:

But when Shock and they usually make them in the tiny versions now and stuff but when shark tarts first came out, it came in like a little like almost shimmery looking bag. It was like a bunch of lightning patterns on it.

Myke:

It was a black bag with the lightning.

Ryan:

Yeah, I remember it and when you'd eat like five of those, it would literally burn a hole in your fucking tongue because it's so acidic yeah, that's the version I miss I love are probably laws that came out that prevent that type of shit now Probably so yeah.

Myke:

But my go-to thing with that they're like we actually just would milk nine-volt batteries.

Ryan:

Probably so, dude, I used to get that in water. For some reason, when I eat something really sour, I love chasing it down with some water. I don't know why.

Myke:

I don't know if.

Ryan:

I'm the only one out there, let me know if I'm not.

Myke:

But I would choose to do it with water. Is Ryan the only person who drinks water out there?

Ryan:

Let us know I don't know what I mean. I'm like literally swishing it with the salad.

Myke:

Oh, okay, I don't know.

Ryan:

But then the other candy that I used to fucking love that I don't make anymore, was a candy called Bonkers. I think I've mentioned it to you before. Uh-uh, hubba, bubba gum or whatever they call it, yeah, but it was like. It was a, you know, almost like laffy taffy in a way too, not as thick, but the flavor is really good. It used to be like a blueberry one I used to really love this isn't mine, but I just want to do.

Myke:

You remember like the tube of gum? You could get tube of gum. Yeah, it was like almost like a paste. It would come in like a toothpaste tube. I do not remember. You don't remember those? Oh man, that was the wildest shit. Uh, my favorite was the butterfinger. Growing up I loved butterfinger and then absolutely devastated when they reformulated it.

Ryan:

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 bar it'd be all over you yeah, a little bit.

Myke:

Yeah, yeah, which is part of the fun too well knowing that now because we just recently tried it.

Ryan:

What do you think about the butterfinger ice cream bar that we bought?

Myke:

oh, it was good. It doesn't anywhere touch. Touch the candy, yeah, or the snickers one, which is the snickers ice cream bar, is I, is the Snickers ice cream bar is.

Ryan:

I think the Snickers ice cream bar is better than the actual fucking Snickers bar, absolutely it's ridiculous.

Myke:

So my honorable mention. My grandmother loved Baby Ruth candy bars.

Ryan:

That has to be an older person, because my dad that was his exact same favorite one Probably, yeah, probably came out at around the time where they could really appreciate it and I love that candy too.

Myke:

Yeah, older personally, because my dad, yeah, that was his exact same favorite one probably yeah, probably came out at around the time where they could really appreciate it and I love that candy too. Yeah, I I'll eat the hell out of it. I remember when my grandmother finally got dentures she was so excited because she could eat baby ruth candy bars again I'm about to take these bad boys for a spin a hundred percent. That's awesome, dude. Yeah, she was pumped.

Ryan:

I swear to god, I've never known this about your grandmother, my dad yeah, I'm the same thing. Yeah, that's crazy. I, they're both. You know my dad was a older gentleman. So, uh, dude, that is crazy. Yeah, yeah, that is I think. I mean I'm assuming that came out probably around Babe Ruth era or something stupid like that Maybe. Yeah, I'm assuming I could be very wrong, but I mean it's kind of close. So him being so popular probably was a huge candy for people back then.

Myke:

Probably was, and they're good, they are so good. But man, but man growing up I don't know what it was. If I could get a candy bar, it was a butterfinger and I was like nobody was gonna lay a finger on my butterfinger you were the original to coin that yeah, it's true this makes me I mean, look, guys, you, just you hear it so much with us on this, on these podcast episodes.

Ryan:

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, we call those healthy people. Yeah, we hate when a meal is not like superb. You know what I mean. Right, yeah, which makes me go. We really we've been saying it off and on, but we've really got to do another episode of eat the menu. Yeah, for sure, because I mean, we love to talk to each other and we love to eat.

Myke:

We might as well get paid to do it 100, and we've already been.

Ryan:

We've actually been tossing this back and forth for the past couple weeks now, but we're like because you know this, guys, every time we do any type of job, we have to celebrate with a fucking dip cone.

Myke:

For some reason yeah, if it was a bad job, we kind of drowned our sorrows and then dipped ice cream cone. It was a good job, we hey, why not celebrate? With it it was just a midday. We're like you know what?

Ryan:

make this day a little bit better dip cone so much so that we're like when we we do the Eat, the Menu episodes, every episode has to have a quick. We're eating a dip cone and we're going to rate this dip cone from this place.

Myke:

Yeah, that's what we've kind of been thinking about adding at the end. I think it works, just because we eat so many of them. Now we're kind of like we know how the consistency of the chocolate should be on the outer shell yes, and then how the ice cream should be, the texture there yes, and then how the ice cream should be the texture.

Ryan:

There's different textures of it. We know when cones are really fresh. Yeah, somewhat fresh, stale as fuck. Yeah, we're like professionals at dip cone, which is really embarrassing to admit, but it's the truth well, because we've spent the 10 000 hours getting there.

Myke:

We're like, uh, have you seen those memes where it's like you know the script and it's like her, and then it's like what that tongue do, and then it's like me, and then it shows ice cream cones where you've sculpted out like different, like impossible sculptures. You know, yeah, this is like the statue of david sculpt out with the your freaking tongue.

Ryan:

We can basically do that now probably as many ice cream cones that we've eaten so we can take one bite and know that the cone's about to be a disaster. Yeah, like literally we're about to have it all over us. All I have to do is lick the tip and until next time, spray it up y'all.
