=== Tiramisu Cravings (06:54) ===

[00:00:00]  I'm a policy wonk.
[00:00:01]  Hey everybody, Dan here.
[00:00:02]  Hi, I'm Jordan.
[00:00:04]  Hey, how's it going, buddy?
[00:00:05]  I am also here.
[00:00:06]  I just wanted to take a quick little moment to give you a little bit of a heads up that we are taking this Friday off from an episode, but we will be back on Monday.
[00:00:14]  There's just so much to get handled in terms of the move.
[00:00:18]  Moving is nuts.
[00:00:18]  Yeah, I mean, a lot of it I was able to take care of and gradually do, but there's, you know, you always get blindsided by various things, like so much...
[00:00:28]  So many accounts to move over, like utilities and stuff.
[00:00:31]  It's a lot.
[00:00:33]  So I'm just going to take a one-off me day here, but we'll be back.
[00:00:38]  Absolutely.
[00:00:38]  I think that's a great idea.
[00:00:40]  You should definitely take the day off.
[00:00:42]  It pains me.
[00:00:43]  And for God's sakes, clean off your soundboard.
[00:00:46]  For God's sakes, get that compressed air for once.
[00:00:49]  You're a dick!
[00:00:50]  Damn it!
[00:00:52]  Tell me what to do with my soundboard, because if you do...
[00:00:56]  Damn it!
[00:00:57]  Don't tell me what to do.
[00:01:00]  In the move, I'll dust that stuff off.
[00:01:03]  It pains me.
[00:01:05]  I wish we could do a stupid episode.
[00:01:09]  We'll be back on Monday and everything.
[00:01:11]  Thank you to everybody who's been so supportive and kind about...
[00:01:15]  Telling me to take a week off.
[00:01:18]  And just people being excited for the new place and the new pet.
[00:01:23]  Yes, we are all very excited.
[00:01:24]  The new animal friend.
[00:01:24]  Which I think I've made a decision on which will be forthcoming.
[00:01:28]  Ooh, now you're teasing?
[00:01:29]  I'm not teasing because I haven't fully made this decision, but I'm leaning very heavily in one direction that will actually shock the world.
[00:01:36]  The announcement will come.
[00:01:37]  Shock the world.
[00:01:39]  Yes.
[00:01:40]  Anyway, the Seltzer website has been updated.
[00:01:43]  Ooh!
[00:01:43]  Here's something we can do.
[00:01:44]  What's that?
[00:01:45]  What's that?
[00:01:45]  I know people love my food reviews, so let's do a little bit of a food conversation.
[00:01:50]  Okay.
[00:01:50]  All right.
[00:01:50]  What do you got?
[00:01:51]  I had two foods.
[00:01:52]  Two foods.
[00:01:52]  I tried this last week or so.
[00:01:54]  Good and bad.
[00:01:55]  No.
[00:01:55]  Well, I don't know.
[00:01:56]  Maybe.
[00:01:58]  I expected both to be terrible.
[00:02:00]  Sure.
[00:02:00]  One.
[00:02:01]  Yes.
[00:02:02]  Pop-Tarts.
[00:02:03]  Pop-Tarts.
[00:02:03]  Which kind?
[00:02:04]  Fruit Loops.
[00:02:06]  Fruit Loops?
[00:02:06]  Get the fuck out of here.
[00:02:07]  I found a single pack at the corner store.
[00:02:11]  There shouldn't even have been that many.
[00:02:12]  I agreed.
[00:02:14]  I don't like Pop-Tarts to begin with.
[00:02:16]  I think they're trash.
[00:02:18]  I hate them.
[00:02:19]  I think they're a bad way to have food delivered to your mouth.
[00:02:24]  I think most of them are glorified candy or whatever.
[00:02:28]  Those ones that are like fucking hot fudge sundae.
[00:02:31]  Yeah, I know.
[00:02:32]  They're bananas.
[00:02:33]  Although I will eat those for dessert, maybe.
[00:02:35]  Cinnamon brown sugar is the only way to go.
[00:02:37]  As a breakfast, no good.
[00:02:39]  Maybe a s'more.
[00:02:40]  Fruit punch.
[00:02:41]  Fruit loops.
[00:02:42]  Super crazy, though.
[00:02:43]  I can't resist the call of that.
[00:02:45]  Yeah, your addiction to novelty is beyond me.
[00:02:47]  So I grabbed them and I heated them up.
[00:02:50]  I expected it to be terrible.
[00:02:51]  How'd you heat them up?
[00:02:52]  Toaster?
[00:02:52]  Toaster oven.
[00:02:54]  Toaster oven?
[00:02:54]  Toaster oven.
[00:02:55]  And then I did what I always do with Pop-Tart to just cut off the edges because it's too much of the pastry and it's gross.
[00:03:01]  So got rid of those edges.
[00:03:03]  That's a detail I didn't know about you.
[00:03:05]  What?
[00:03:05]  Did I cut the edges off of Pop-Tart?
[00:03:07]  It's too much of that gross pastry.
[00:03:10]  No.
[00:03:11]  No.
[00:03:11]  Not eat that.
[00:03:13]  So I cut the edges off.
[00:03:15]  Really good.
[00:03:16]  Really good.
[00:03:17]  I hate to say it.
[00:03:18]  Really good.
[00:03:19]  Well, I mean, not really good.
[00:03:20]  I don't want it for breakfast, but it was shockingly close to Froot Loops.
[00:03:25]  Yeah.
[00:03:25]  Really?
[00:03:25]  Because the flavor of the inside, the filling...
[00:03:28]  Was gooey?
[00:03:29]  Yeah, but it tasted like a Froot Loop.
[00:03:33]  Right.
[00:03:33]  And then because of the frosting on top, that recreated the sort of sugary vibe of the Froot Loop.
[00:03:40]  I thought it was very accurate to a Froot Loop.
[00:03:42]  Really?
[00:03:43]  And I felt really ashamed afterwards because I was like...
[00:03:45]  Oh, you guys nailed it.
[00:03:46]  You sat out to make a Fruit Loop Pop-Tart and you did.
[00:03:49]  Gotta give it to you.
[00:03:50]  I gotta give it up to those Somali pirates.
[00:03:52]  Very accurate.
[00:03:54]  See, I don't like that.
[00:03:56]  I don't like transforming texture.
[00:03:57]  I don't like the same taste turning into a different texture.
[00:04:00]  I need the taste and the texture to match up.
[00:04:01]  If I taste a Fruit Loop, it better be crunchy.
[00:04:04]  I can't have it turn into chewy.
[00:04:05]  I don't disagree with you as a whole, but I went in expecting garbage and it wasn't that bad, so I applaud them.
[00:04:14]  Perfect.
[00:04:14]  Second thing.
[00:04:15]  Second thing.
[00:04:16]  New Oreo on the scene that I found.
[00:04:19]  Tiramisu.
[00:04:20]  Tiramisu Oreo?
[00:04:21]  Who are these people?
[00:04:22]  They're crazy.
[00:04:23]  Where are we coming from?
[00:04:24]  So here's what happened.
[00:04:26]  I thought this was very exciting.
[00:04:29]  Yes.
[00:04:29]  I got it home.
[00:04:32]  Grabbed one of these Oreos out.
[00:04:33]  Yeah.
[00:04:34]  As I was eating it, I realized I don't think I've ever had Tiramisu.
[00:04:40]  You don't think you've ever had Tiramisu?
[00:04:42]  No.
[00:04:42]  I don't think so.
[00:04:43]  Really?
[00:04:44]  I thought that I had.
[00:04:44]  Never?
[00:04:45]  Not at a wedding?
[00:04:45]  I don't think so.
[00:04:46]  Not at somewhere?
[00:04:47]  Not that I can remember.
[00:04:48]  Okay.
[00:04:49]  Did it taste like a tiramisu?
[00:04:51]  That's the question I can't answer.
[00:04:52]  Did it taste good?
[00:04:54]  Not great.
[00:04:54]  Tastes fine.
[00:04:55]  Well, that's about what a tiramisu tastes like.
[00:04:57]  Kind of coffee-ish?
[00:04:58]  Yeah.
[00:04:58]  Is that the vibe of a tiramisu?
[00:04:59]  Basically.
[00:05:00]  Yeah, okay.
[00:05:00]  It's not great.
[00:05:01]  No.
[00:05:01]  No.
[00:05:02]  Nobody's ever been like, God, I need a tiramisu right now.
[00:05:04]  I have heard that from people before.
[00:05:06]  When?
[00:05:07]  It's been a while.
[00:05:07]  Yeah.
[00:05:09]  God, I need a tiramisu.
[00:05:10]  It's 4 a.m.
[00:05:12]  I just got out of the bar.
[00:05:13]  I just need a tiramisu right now, guys.
[00:05:15]  For a cannoli.
[00:05:17]  Yeah, it was a really interesting experience for me to have that realization mid-Oreo that I haven't had what this is pretending to be.
[00:05:26]  You have no frame of reference for it.
[00:05:28]  No, certainly not.
[00:05:28]  Could be dead on, could be alive.
[00:05:30]  I could give the middle finger to the Swedish Fish Oreo because I've had Swedish Fish before.
[00:05:34]  I'm aware of what that's going to be.
[00:05:36]  There's a Swedish Fish Oreo.
[00:05:37]  Oreo?
[00:05:38]  Yeah, I made you eat one.
[00:05:39]  Oh, that's right.
[00:05:40]  It was a ways back.
[00:05:40]  Wow, yeah, no, you're right.
[00:05:43]  Or what was the other one?
[00:05:45]  The one that had like Pop Rocks in it.
[00:05:48]  Oh, that one was gross.
[00:05:49]  I enjoyed that.
[00:05:49]  You liked that one?
[00:05:50]  I like Pop Rocks.
[00:05:51]  I don't like Pop Rocks.
[00:05:52]  Okay.
[00:05:53]  I don't like Pop Rocks alone.
[00:05:55]  Right.
[00:05:56]  Incorporated into something like an Oreo, it's pretty exciting.
[00:05:59]  No.
[00:06:00]  Pretty exciting.
[00:06:01]  Pop Rocks is just a sprinkle that pisses me off.
[00:06:03]  Okay.
[00:06:04]  It's an aggressive sprinkle.
[00:06:05]  It's an aggressive sprinkle.
[00:06:06]  So here's the deal.
[00:06:07]  Yes.
[00:06:08]  Fruit Loop Pop-Tart.
[00:06:10]  I don't even know how to rate these.
[00:06:12]  I would say what it is is it exceeded my expectations and pleasantly surprised me.
[00:06:17]  And if I were giving advice to people who are trying to find like weird novelty food.
[00:06:21]  Sure.
[00:06:22]  If you're interested in that, give it a shot because it does not disappoint.
[00:06:25]  Okay, good.
[00:06:25]  If you really like tiramisu.
[00:06:28]  Uh-huh.
[00:06:28]  I don't know.
[00:06:29]  Try one.
[00:06:30]  Maybe it's like tiramisu.
[00:06:31]  I couldn't tell you.
[00:06:32]  If you don't like tiramisu, maybe try one.
[00:06:34]  It doesn't taste like tiramisu.
[00:06:36]  Who knows?
[00:06:36]  I have no idea.
[00:06:37]  Maybe it tastes like a regular Oreo with a little bit of coffee.

=== Huge Fan On Air (00:31) ===

[00:06:39]  Maybe.
[00:06:40]  I don't know.
[00:06:41]  Anyway, this has been my novelty food review.
[00:06:44]  And Jordan, if you didn't enjoy that...
[00:06:46]  You're a jerk!
[00:06:49]  We've got to get out of here.
[00:06:50]  Yeah, we do.
[00:06:51]  So we'll be back, but thanks for your patience, everyone out there.
[00:06:54]  We really appreciate it, and once we're all settled in, everything will be so spectacular, and there will be a new pet, and we'll talk to you soon.
[00:07:01]  Right?
[00:07:01]  Yes, we will.
[00:07:02]  Okay.
[00:07:03]  Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.
[00:07:04]  Thanks for holding.
[00:07:07]  Hello, Alex.
[00:07:07]  I'm a first-time caller.
[00:07:08]  I'm a huge fan.
[00:07:09]  I love your work.
