00:00 - Damn it!
00:01 - Size does matter.
00:02 - It does, bro.
00:04 What's up everybody, I'm Ross.
00:05 - I'm Rocky.
00:06 - We're The Driver Era,
00:07 and today we are playing expensive taste test with Cosmo.
00:09 I can't imagine it'd be that hard.
00:13 I also feel like you guys are trying to trick us though.
00:16 - I feel good about it.
00:16 - Yeah.
00:17 (upbeat music)
00:20 - We got some necklaces here.
00:24 If we break it, do we have to buy it?
00:28 It's like--
00:29 - I'm kinda feeling this one already.
00:31 - Just gotta like test the weight, test the durability.
00:34 - This seems silver-like.
00:36 Also, is there a tag on here?
00:37 Look for the 925.
00:38 - Yeah, that one's shining a little bit more.
00:40 - That's true, let's swap, let's see.
00:41 Okay, I like, ooh, you know what?
00:43 Sometimes there's-- - No, it's that one.
00:44 - But sometimes there's necklaces
00:46 that aren't like even silver.
00:47 - This might be generic, that might be more like--
00:50 - What if this is from like a brand,
00:51 it's not even silver, it's just like,
00:52 but it's like expensive.
00:53 That looks fake now to me.
00:55 - Like this one looks just better made, really.
00:59 - This is fake.
01:00 - All right, we're going with this one.
01:02 - Yeah, let's go, let's go. - All right.
01:03 (cash register dings)
01:05 (claps)
01:07 One for one.
01:08 What else you got?
01:10 (upbeat music)
01:12 - Those are thick.
01:16 - Now we got cookies.
01:17 These ones are like pleasantly plump.
01:19 - Maybe just something--
01:21 - I think we gotta try 'em probably, right?
01:23 - Ooh, that's pretty good.
01:26 Ooh.
01:28 This one has a really surprising nuttiness to it though,
01:31 that's really pleasant.
01:31 - I feel like they're like--
01:32 - I feel like we're in the Great British Bake Off.
01:35 And it's almost like you can taste the sugar,
01:37 like, and the texture.
01:39 - I think I like those thin ones better.
01:44 Like, I feel like the flavor's better,
01:45 and this is bigger.
01:46 Maybe you can charge more if you are making better cookies.
01:50 - But like a lot of times you're like walking by a store,
01:53 and you see this, this is more likely to make you stop
01:57 and wanna try it.
01:59 This is more for like a reoccurring customer.
02:02 - I could probably take that one, buddy.
02:04 - This is like traditional milk chocolate cookie.
02:10 - That's weird, it's like you don't really see
02:13 cheap cookies this size though.
02:15 - That taste is pretty nice though.
02:18 There's a lot to it.
02:20 - I like that taste better.
02:21 - All right, we're going with this one.
02:22 - All right, let's go.
02:23 - All right.
02:23 (bell dings)
02:24 (upbeat music)
02:26 - Damn it!
02:27 - Size does matter.
02:28 - It does, bro.
02:29 (upbeat music)
02:32 - Tequila.
02:36 (laughing)
02:38 - I wish you guys would've chose wine or something.
02:42 - Oh yeah.
02:43 - We're gonna stumble out of here.
02:44 - How long you been like not drinking?
02:45 - You guys literally caught me in my good boy phase.
02:49 - Oh, let me try these, all right.
02:51 - Bro, I can tell by this.
02:52 - I just shoot it.
02:54 (upbeat music)
02:56 - Oh, yeah, that stings, doesn't it?
03:00 - Man, we gotta bring the class of Zool in.
03:04 - Yeah.
03:05 - And don't do this.
03:06 - Totally.
03:06 - Let's see.
03:08 - I'm telling you, that's the one.
03:09 I can already smell it.
03:10 I don't even wanna drink this one yet.
03:12 - Oh, really?
03:12 - I don't know.
03:15 - That one's pretty nice, honestly.
03:19 This one's like, that was pretty tasty.
03:21 - Bro, that's the expensive one.
03:23 - Oh, wow, they're actually both pretty good.
03:25 - This tastes like gasoline.
03:28 - The problem is too, is like once you sip 'em both,
03:30 then, now we're just drinking tequila.
03:33 - That tasted better, I thought.
03:35 - This one had a bit more of a spice to it.
03:38 - Wow, I'm actually, I'm torn.
03:42 Yeah, that's what I want first.
03:46 - Yeah, I think you're right.
03:46 - I think that one.
03:47 Let's go with the right one.
03:49 - What?
03:52 - Oh!
03:54 - What?
03:55 - You'd think we'd be pros too,
03:56 with like how much tequila we drank.
03:59 - So this is the Don Julio?
04:00 - Dang.
04:04 (upbeat music)
04:06 - Now we got some MIDI controllers.
04:12 And of all things that we should be able to tell is this.
04:16 - That has a speaker on it.
04:17 So I don't know what's going on there.
04:19 - I feel like that's a little excessive
04:22 for a MIDI controller.
04:23 - This is, that's.
04:24 - It's the same company.
04:26 Play something wrong.
04:28 (upbeat music)
04:30 (laughing)
04:35 (humming)
04:40 - This has like drum kits and stuff too, like.
04:44 - Is this one not?
04:45 - I don't think so.
04:46 - This has loops.
04:47 - This, like the look of it,
04:49 if I was just going off external appearance,
04:52 I would say this looks fly.
04:54 But maybe it's the colors.
04:56 Oh, this is heavy, bro.
04:57 This has, this has sounds in it.
04:59 If it has sounds in it,
05:00 that's kind of a whole nother ordeal.
05:02 This isn't just like MIDI.
05:03 - It's this one, bro.
05:04 I think it's this one.
05:05 - I feel like, yeah.
05:06 - I think we're going with this one, yeah.
05:08 (cash register dinging)
05:11 - Yes!
05:12 - Sick.
05:13 - Nice work.
05:13 - Let's go, bro.
05:14 - Let's go.
05:15 - All right.
05:16 (upbeat music)
05:21 - Sunglasses.
05:22 - This one's not hard until they're people at home.
05:26 - I already know.
05:27 - Oh, these ones actually aren't as bad as I thought.
05:29 Can you not see my eyes?
05:30 - I can.
05:31 - You can?
05:32 - Yeah.
05:33 - Damn.
05:34 - Dad has those same glasses.
05:34 He loved to have like that, like,
05:36 what is that brown, like,
05:38 what do you call that?
05:39 - It's not tortoise shell.
05:40 This is like tortoise shell.
05:41 On a real sunny beach day, like, those would be nice.
05:46 - Hold up, bro.
05:47 Those are kind of cool.
05:48 - That's what I'm saying.
05:49 This might be like,
05:51 I wouldn't want to jump the gun yet.
05:52 - This is a harder one.
05:53 See those over there?
05:55 - Yeah, yeah.
05:56 - The lenses on these are really nicely polarized.
05:58 - How's the mechanics, you know?
06:00 - The thing that throws me off on this one
06:01 is this little, like, rubber bits,
06:03 but I can't tell if that's like--
06:04 - Those are from 7-Eleven.
06:05 - I feel like a lot of like random glasses brands make this.
06:10 The craftsmanship on this is nice.
06:12 Like, the hinges are well made for sure.
06:17 But this has like some details that you don't always see.
06:21 - Yeah.
06:22 - Like the holes.
06:23 - The holes are like screaming 7-Eleven a little to me, though.
06:24 - The lens are really nice.
06:26 The rubber's a little confusing.
06:30 I think we do choose this one.
06:31 - Yeah, I'm down.
06:32 - All right.
06:33 - We're choosing this one.
06:34 [cash register dings]
06:36 - You kidding me?
06:37 - Dang it!
06:38 These are so far out of our price range
06:40 that we're not even hip to the technology
06:43 with these sunglasses.
06:45 - I can't believe we got that wrong, bro.
06:47 - These are $1,000.
06:49 - No.
06:50 - Dang it.
06:50 - It's $262.
06:51 - Oh, really?
06:52 - What are these?
06:53 - $33.
06:55 - These are the gas station glasses?
06:58 [cash register dings]
06:58 - Oh!
06:59 [laughs]
07:00 [upbeat music]
07:03 - Some gummy bears.
07:06 - Yeah.
07:07 - All right, let's go for it.
07:08 - That looks like the classic, like--
07:10 - Yeah, hot brown?
07:11 - So maybe this, yeah.
07:12 Maybe that's like a some,
07:15 this is from Air One gummies.
07:17 - These ones are pretty good though.
07:19 I'm not gonna lie.
07:20 - That tastes pretty good though.
07:22 - This tastes classic, like just classic gummy bear.
07:25 - All right, I'm going in.
07:27 - Oh, the texture of this one's nice.
07:29 - Yeah, these are like, kind of firmer.
07:31 - Mm-hmm.
07:31 The flavor's richer too.
07:34 - I feel like this is probably expensive.
07:35 - It's gotta be that one.
07:35 - Should we just hit it fast?
07:37 - Yeah.
07:37 - That one.
07:38 [cash register dings]
07:41 Yes!
07:42 I'm gonna get one more.
07:43 - That was pretty good.
07:44 [upbeat music]
07:47 - Got some hats.
07:51 I mean, you've worn like a thousand of these, so.
07:57 - Yeah, I tend to like hats, honestly.
08:00 - But like, I mean on stage.
08:02 - But yeah, but the ones that are thrown on stage
08:04 are like from the dollar store.
08:05 - They're like handmade with some lights on them and stuff.
08:07 Exactly, you should be able to tell quality
08:09 over quantity like real fast, bro.
08:12 - I'm feeling that one for sure.
08:14 - I like the little bow in here, that's kinda cute.
08:17 Also like the stitching, like, seems nice.
08:21 It's kinda small, it's nice.
08:23 - Yeah?
08:24 - Yeah, bro, I think you're right.
08:26 - Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely feeling this guy.
08:28 The lining on this, this looks kinda clean,
08:30 this looks a little--
08:31 - I agree.
08:32 - Rank-a-dank.
08:33 - I agree.
08:34 I think this is an easy one.
08:35 - Yeah.
08:36 - We're picking this one down.
08:37 [cash register dings]
08:39 - Yes!
08:41 Yes!
08:42 - We're good at this game, bro.
08:43 - For some reason, our fans love throwing
08:45 cowboy hats on stage at us.
08:47 They throw a bunch of stuff on stage at us.
08:49 Or like, honestly, like the t-shirt, the thing,
08:53 the what?
08:54 Like taking my shirt off.
08:55 - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:56 - And I feel like--
08:57 - I don't know what that was.
08:58 - It just takes one time and then from there on out,
09:02 everyone's like, "Oh, that's, I wanna be a part of that."
09:05 [upbeat music]
09:07 - Cologne?
09:11 - I'm good with this.
09:12 I got a decent cologne collection.
09:14 - You do have a decent cologne collection.
09:16 - My homies come in my bathroom and steal it from me.
09:19 - Yeah, I'm one of those homies.
09:20 - Ryan would probably have been doing it my whole life.
09:22 - Yeah, for sure.
09:23 - I'd have to buy some of this, 'cause it's always empty.
09:25 - Oh wow, that's nice.
09:26 - I'm liking this one so far.
09:28 - Yeah.
09:29 - I wish I knew what these were.
09:31 - This one's made in Spain.
09:33 - Oh.
09:34 - The cap is kinda--
09:35 - Oh.
09:36 - Honestly, that's--
09:36 - That cap looking sus.
09:38 - That's looking sus.
09:38 That's not what I was saying.
09:39 - Let me see that.
09:41 - Yeah, this one's already smooth.
09:42 - Sus.
09:43 - Oh bro, it's magnetic, bro.
09:45 That's a nice cap.
09:48 - It smells kinda good, though.
09:51 - It's gonna do that too.
09:54 [upbeat music]
09:56 - That one's pretty nice.
09:58 [upbeat music]
10:01 - This smells like detergent.
10:05 I barely sprayed that one.
10:06 This one, I sprayed a little stronger.
10:08 That, for sure, is nice.
10:10 - The fragrance travels further.
10:12 It's just more fragrant.
10:13 Yeah, it's this one, bro.
10:15 - Yeah.
10:16 - Right?
10:16 - Yeah.
10:17 - Okay.
10:18 - I'm picking this one.
10:19 [upbeat music]
10:20 - Yes.
10:21 [laughing]
10:22 Is this Dior, what is this?
10:24 - Chanel.
10:25 - Yeah, this?
10:26 - It was the magnetic bob that really gave it away for me.
10:28 - Chanel, okay.
10:29 - We got five correct.
10:31 So I think it's pretty solid, honestly.
10:34 I thought we were gonna get the tequila, for sure.
10:36 I thought that was an easy one.
10:37 - Yeah, we'll go watch some game tape,
10:39 make sure we're ready for the next round.
10:42 [laughing]
10:44 - Thanks so much for watching.
10:45 We're The Driver Era.
